Courthouse elm tree will be removed By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
A long-standing elm tree in front of Warrenton’s iconic courthouse on Main Street will have to be removed in the coming weeks. Peter Deahl, ISA Certified Arborist, Fine Pruning, LLC, has determined that the tree is decayed and should come down before it falls on its own. Brandie Schaeffer, interim town manager, said that the town is working on a timeline for

the tree’s removal. “We will need to secure a contractor and get it scheduled. I would think it would be at least a month away, as we want to meet and discuss our desires for removal and coordinate traffic controls.” Schaeffer said she estimates that the tree is less than 90 years old. Since it has occupied such an important spot in the town, Schaeffer said that the town would like to have the tree removed in the largest pieces possible, so that

The Fauquier County School Board and Board of Supervisors agreed to a funding compromise Thursday, March 14 that will result in average teacher salary raises of 7 percent next year, bringing their pay closer to that of surrounding school divisions. The county agreed to contribute an additional $300,000 to help bridge a funding gap in the school board budget. That leaves the division only $234,000 short of its spending plan for next school year. With the added funding, the school board will be better able to address its salary compression problem, which has resulted in lagging pay among the county’s more veteran teacher ranks. The joint meeting was cordial and productive, although school board members were asked some tough questions about recent spending decisions.

Comedy basketball team performs at Head Start fundraiser Almost 200 basketball fans, young and old, attended a fundraiser on Sunday, March 17, for Fauquier Community Action Head Start at Fauquier High School’s gym. The trick basketball troupe dunked, dribbled and clowned around, keeping the crowd engaged and entertained. The Harlem Wizards “competed” against the Fauquier All-Stars – a collection of hoops players from Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run high schools: David Milton (an LHS alum), AJ Lewis (LHS), Carter Shepard (LHS), Derrick Brooks (LHS), Ray Morton (LHS), Robbie Brooks (FHS), Devin Lewis (FHS), RJ Walker (KRHS), Drew Nowland (KRHS) and Drew Tapscott (KRHS). Liberty’s boys basketball coach Pat Frazer managed the squad. Although all the receipts had not been counted yet, Bethany Walton of Head Start said she thought the fundraiser may have raised more money than in past years. “It’s the fourth time we have held it. I think Sunday afternoon was a good time for it.”
Warrenton Spring Clean Up Week, April 8 to 12 The Town of Warrenton’s Spring Clean Up Week is scheduled for April 8 to 12. Town trucks will provide extra collections in all residential areas to pick up trash, refuse and other items that cannot be handled on the regular weekly refuse schedule. All items are to be placed on the street by 8 a.m. on the day scheduled. Trucks will not be able to make return trips. All trash and refuse must be placed in proper containers. Small clippings from bushes or shrubs, leaves and grass should be bagged and placed with regular refuse. All metal must be separated from wood and placed separately. Tree trimmings and brush also must be piled separately. Town crews will not pick up tree trimmings and brush cut by tree companies and/or contractors; that disposal
is the responsibility of the contractor or company doing the work. Town trucks will not pick up any appliances containing Freon (air conditioning units, humidifiers/de-humidifiers, refrigerators, freezers, etc.). Tires may be put out for pickup, but there is a fee of $3 per tire, the same fee that would be collected at the county landfill. To arrange for tires to be picked up, residents must call the Public Works Department in advance to make arrangements. If the fee is not paid in advance or arrangements have not been made, the tires will not be picked up. Public Works may be reached by calling 540-347-1858. Car and pickup truck tires, with or without rims, are part of this collection. Tires bigger than a standard pickup tire are not eligible.
Items not part of Spring Clean Up
The following items will not be picked up: Freon-containing appliances, dirt, rocks, sod, stumps, large logs, concrete (blocks, bricks or

Former Remington town hall up for sale By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Now that town offices are in a building built two years ago on Main Street, Remington Town Council members on Monday authorized listing the old town hall for sale. The former town hall, at 203 E. Main St., will be listed with Charlie Ebbets of Long and Foster, Warrenton. He’ll have the listing for six months. The term can be renewed by council. The sale
could fetch $100,000, but the hope is that it will sell for more, according to Town Administrator Sharon Lee. A structure behind it that served as the town’s two-cell jail will also be part of the sale. The old town hall was originally the State Bank of Remington. It will be sold as-is. Council discussed moving an anchor and safe now on the property to the new town hall. The old town hall also has a time capsule embedded in an outside wall by the front door. It
contains artifacts placed during a celebration of the town’s centennial in 1990, according to Kim Henry, town clerk and treasurer. The capsule will be removed. The new town hall is at 105 E. Main St. A grand opening took place in December 2017. A Department of Motor Vehicles Select office shares the building space. A small park with a paved walk is being built next to the building. A gazebo will go there and plantings will be added. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.
Planning commission to consider wedding venue in Bealeton By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21, on a request for a public exception to allow weddings, receptions and corporate events for up to 200 guests at Great Marsh Estate in Bealeton. The applicant also seeks a special permit to operate a tourist home on the site. The existing estate home has five bedrooms. Four of them would be used for up to 10 guests, according to the application filed with the county’s community development department. County staff is recommending limiting the number of events to 55 per year, one day each, with a maximum of 200 guests per event. No field events are proposed.

Aden Road bridges open Historic bridge and new bridge over Norfolk Southern Railroad now allow for two-way traffic Staff Reports The historic wrought-iron truss bridge and the recently constructed one-lane bridge carrying Aden Road (Route 646) over the Norfolk Southern Railroad in Nokesville have reopened to traffic, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The old truss bridge was rehabilitated and reinstalled to improve safety for drivers, to bring the bridge up to current design standards and to extend the overall life of the bridge. It is now in place to accommodate northbound traffic, alongside the newly constructed span that accommodates southbound vehicles. Twoway traffic can now travel over the
railroad for the first time. Built in 1882 for the Keystone Bridge Company, the truss bridge was purchased in the early 1900s and moved to Aden Road by Norfolk Southern, which transferred ownership to VDOT in 2014. The old truss structure showed substantial structural deficiencies, so a revised design was developed with input from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and the community. This effort allowed the truss bridge to be rehabilitated while remaining on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge was removed from the railroad crossing in January 2016. The new one-lane bridge opened to traffic in December 2016; it was

closed temporarily in July 2018 to facilitate the truss bridge reinstallation and rehabilitation. The truss bridge was put back in place over the railroad in November 2018. Some final detail work on the $8 million project will occur into the spring but will not cause major
traffic impacts. The project was financed with federal, state and Prince William County funding. Norfolk Southern donated a construction easement to allow the work to be completed. Aden Road averages 3,500 vehicles a day at the railroad crossing.
Fauquier supervisors, school board reach funding agreement SCHOOLS, from Page 1 Fauquier County Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler (Lee) wanted to know why the school board chose to purchase property adjacent to Pierce Elementary School last year. “How is it that $165,000 was spent for a piece of land – in the midst of an emergency?” he asked. David Graham, the school division’s executive director of administration and planning, explained the Remington property was purchased “for future expansion of Pierce Elementary.” School board member Brian Gorg (Center), added, “That was before we knew we had an emergency. Teacher turnover was at 4 percent. We didn’t have an emergency until last year, when we lost 12 percent” of the teaching staff. Butler continued, “How do you justify, with this emergency, that [money] went to the central office? And how is it that one employee got a raise in one year from $112,000 to $133,000?” Jeck explained that the numbers were more complicated. “We have 79 administrators; 18 received raises. That cost us $75,000. But the year before, we saved $66,000 with our new [less expensive] hires. So, those raises only cost us $11,000. And the $112,000 to $133,000 -- that was for a half-time position [which was] raised to a full-time position” for an assistant superintendent of planning. Gorg said, “We are looking at a 5 percent reduction in force in the central office – that’s four positions of the 70 there. And eight teacher positions will be [eliminated]. And we are looking at replacing [bus] fleets more efficiently.”
funding] than we do. We have to address that next year with our legislators.” “The problem with this county is that 40 years ago a decision was made to keep this county the way it is. Prince William paved itself over,” said Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall).
Pay at 92 percent of market
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/KAREN CHAFFRAIX County School Board and the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors met Thursday, March 14, to work out last-minute funding issues. Butler, however, was adamant about not raising real-estate tax bills, saying: “I still will not support a tax increase for a second year in a row. I just got a phone call today from someone who said they are at the breaking point, and that he’d be visiting me in my office if taxes went up.” Butler noted the county is also in the process of bringing staff salaries up to “at least 90 percent of market” over a three-year period. “Why can’t the school board do the same thing, say, over at least a two-year cycle?” he asked. During the meeting, there was also a fair amount of grumbling about the state’s funding formula for public schools, which they said amounted to sending “Fauquier tax money to Prince William.” Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott) weighed in, saying: “Prince William has a higher per capita income than we do and yet they get more [state
School Board Chairman Suzanne Sloane (Marshall) said the extra money from the county will bring teacher pay to about 92 percent of what is paid in surrounding school divisions next year. Some items in the budget will be delayed until the 2020-21 school year “with an assurance from the board of supervisors to be sure to remember those items when we meet next year,” she said. Jeck said he is also pleased with the results of the negotiations. “We are going to make great progress in terms of dealing with salary compression and being more competitive within our region. That [additional] money will be used primarily to increase teacher and support staff salaries.” Jeck said. “Many thanks should go to the school board for approving a very proactive budget, but I’d like to also send sincere thanks to each [supervisor] and to [Fauquier County Administrator] Paul McCulla for working so closely with us, and for doing so much to help out folks,” he added. The supervisors will take a final vote on the county budget March 21. For its part, the school board will have to decide where to cut another $234,000 from its spending plan.

Elm tree in front of Warrenton courthouse will be removed
SCHOOLS, from Page 1 the wood may be reused in some way. “We won’t really know what might be possible until we have it down.” She added, “We polled the public for ideas and some that came across included the use of the wood for ornaments, bowls and benches.” In his report on the health of the tree, Deahl wrote, “There is no leaf density in the elm’s crown. Trees need leaves to create that energy to exist… There are numerous woody parts that are decayed or possess
cavities. This affects the tree’s integrity, which in turn can cause the tree to fail, either by losing tree parts or by the entire tree falling.” Schaeffer pointed out that the elm, particularly because of its location on Main Street, presents a safety issue. She added that in addition to being structurally unsound, the tree has also been hit by cars several times. Deahl reported, “This elm has spent its entire existence growing within an impervious environment of asphalt and concrete infrastruc-
ture. It has little root system from which to gather the water and nutrients it requires. From a personal standpoint, I find it heroic that this tree has remained vertical and alive as long as it has…. The town has invested a great deal of time and money on this elm, and the elm in turn has given back the best it could. I recommend the tree be removed before it can no longer stand on its own.” He added, “If this tree is removed, replacing it will be impossible in the same location due to the
existing infrastructure. However, directly across the street, adjacent to the Fauquier Bank property is a large willow oak in a grassy area just off the bank’s patio. Beneath the willow oak’s canopy there is ample room for an ornamental tree such as a Virginia fringe tree as a replacement. Fringe trees grow well in sun or shade, which makes this a good location for replanting.” Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill said that perhaps the town could follow the adage, “take a tree, but plant two,” in this case.

Board streamlines cell tower approval process By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County approved a new process that could potentially bring better cellular and internet service to county residents. The zoning text amendment squeaked through on a 3-to-2 vote by the board of supervisors on Thursday. The language in the text amendment calls for “target” areas to be established for new towers or apparatus on existing structures. A streamlined process will be put in place so that wireless service could be approved for these underserved areas more quickly. During March 14’s meeting, a spokesman for the Piedmont Environmental Council objected to the proposal because the target areas have not been defined yet. Julie Bolthouse, PEC’s field representative for Fauquier County, maintained that public input on the locations should have been obtained before supervisors enacted the text amendment. The PEC sent a email to residents before the hearing, stating objections to the change. The message acknowledged the problem of poor broadband coverage in rural areas, but added, “The county is moving to adopt this new ordinance language, which relies on ‘target areas,’ without having said where these new target areas are. “We are asking that the board publish the location of ‘target areas’ prior to adoption of the ordinance. This action would provide greater transparency and demonstrate that underserved areas are receiving the focus they need. It would also help evaluate potential impacts to sensitive scenic and historic resources.” Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, Cedar Run, who has spearheaded efforts to spread service to unserved and underserved areas of the county, said identifying the targeted areas will require a vote by supervisors during public ses-
sion. “People will absolutely have the ability to comment,” Gerhardt said. Moreover, “I will respect the wishes of the supervisor” of a district if there is opposition to a tower or pole there. “This is not a sleight of hand” move by the board, Gerhardt said. “A special exemption will probably be required [of applicants] anyway.” That would entail a public hearing and vote by supervisors. But Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel said, “I’m concerned there’s not enough transparency.” Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo agreed. He said, “I have some concerns. People would love to see a public hearing process for the target areas.” Center District Supervisor Chris Granger and Lee District Supervisor Chris Butler voted with Gerhardt in support of the text amendment. “I haven’t had any pushback” from
constituents, said Butler. “What I do hear is that people want connectivity.” Granger said, “This is being bogged down by a special interest group on one issue,” and has resulted in “misinformation to the public.” He called the transparency flap “a red herring.” He said, “this is a 99.9 percent good ordinance that will put towers behind tree lines, away from neighboring property lines.” The text amendment had already received the support of the county planning commission in December 2018.
Details of the zoning text amendment
The amendment includes standards for collocating services on existing wireless facilities; and on apparatus attached to water towers, utility poles and flag poles. Monopines (monopoles disguised as pine trees) will be allowed in areas with wooded areas of at least 50 feet in depth and at least 200 feet
from a neighboring residential property line and right of way. Maximum tower height is 20 feet above the tallest tree within 50 feet of the tower. Telecommunication silos are to be built in the style of an existing silo, if one exists on the property or in the area. Monopoles in wooded areas must have at least 100 feet of woods in all directions, be at least 300 feet from a neighboring residence and 100 feet from a public right of way. The color of the monopole must blend with the surroundings. Unconcealed monopoles must be 100 feet from the edge of a public right of way and 300 feet from an adjoining residence. The text amendment also states that the county’s zoning administrator has the authority to approve a temporary tower to provide service at a special event.

Pilot program could expand broadband in Fauquier A bill approved by the Virginia General Assembly providing up to $60 million for a pilot program to expand broadband in rural areas could mean that Fauquier County will save money on its own broadband effort, according to county supervisor Rick Gerhardt. The Capital News Service reported that HB 2691 creates a pilot program that allows Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power to expand “middle mile” broadband coverage — the infrastructure that connects the networks and core routers on the internet to local internet service providers that serve businesses and consumers directly. The utilities can spend up to $60 million annually on the pilot program; they will be able to recover that money from ratepayers, according to the CNS story. The two utilities won’t be providing high-speed internet straight to residents’ homes and businesses. The final connection, called the “last mile,” will be left to third-party internet providers, according to the CNS report. The last mile brings service to the end user’s premises and is typically the most expensive component of broadband infrastructure. The pilot program lets the electric utilities add extra fi-
ber optic cables to rural substations in addition to the fiber they’re already putting in place. That additional broadband capacity will then be leased to third-party internet providers that will ensure last-mile connections to homes and businesses. “The devil is in the details,” said Gerhardt, the Cedar Run District supervisor. “We’ll have to see what Dominion’s plans are as far as their lines in Fauquier,” Gerhardt said. Its plans could supplement what the county is doing. The county is now in the detailed design phase with two companies that responded to a request for proposals for fiber installation and “last-mile” connections to customers. “Once we see what the detailed designs look like and an overlay of what Dominion plans … who knows? It may end up saving us money,” Gerhardt said. HB 2691 was sponsored by Del. Israel O’Quinn, R-5th, of Bristol. All legislators representing areas of Fauquier and Prince William counties voted for the bill in February. The bill awaits the signature of Gov. Ralph Northam. — James Ivancic
Supervisors vote that homes with solar panels are entitled to tax break By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Installing household solar panels not only cuts energy bills, but now earns Fauquier County residents a break on their real-estate tax bill. The board of supervisors on Thursday unanimously approved a partial real-estate tax exemption for those who install solar energy equipment, facilities or devices on their land. The measure was introduced to encourage property owners to use solar power sources to heat and cool their property rather than conventional sources of energy such as petroleum, natural gas or elec-
tricity. Virginia state code allows counties to exempt taxes for an amount based on the assessment of solar facilities on a property. Simply put, properties will not see higher assessments, even though their homes are worth more because of the energy-saving improvements. There are currently 86 properties with solar panels, according to county records. County real estate tax revenue not collected would amount to $16,946.37, if all of the property owners apply for and receive the exemption. The average savings on the tax bill per property owner would be about $200. Under the new ordinance, the tax break applies
to solar equipment installed on or after Jan. 1, 2016. The exemption expires after five years. Anyone who wants an exemption must file an application with the Department of Community Development. The commissioner of revenue will determine the value of the solar energy equipment. County resident Lora Pando spoke in favor of the measure during a public hearing that preceded the vote. She said she placed 36 solar panels on her roof last year “to help with my electric bill and help the environment.” It cost $36,400 to have them placed. She said her energy usage has dropped 26 percent. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Cyber Security Academy boots up at LHS By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Applications are now being accepted from eighth-graders in the southern part of the county for Liberty High School’s Cyber Security Academy; the four-year program is being offered to incoming freshman. Jonathan Clark, technical education teacher and chair of career and technical education at LHS, said that he looks at the program as “a school within a school.” The program was piloted at LHS for the 2018-19 school year. “We didn’t advertise it at all for the first year. I expected about 12 students, but we got 40.” He said that only two of those students were girls, but he anticipates that as more middle schoolers learn about the program, the male-female percentages may change. The program will provide a fouryear track for students interested in cyber security as a career, said Clark. “It will allow them to enter post-sec-
Cyber Security Academy What: Informational meeting for parents of rising ninth-graders who will be attending Liberty High School next fall. When: 6-7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20 Where: The Eagle Room at Liberty High School in Bealeton. Details: The director of the Cyber Security program will be in attendance to discuss the program and answer any questions. More information: Contact Sarah Frye, FCPS instructional supervisor for Career and Technical Education at sfrye@fcps1.org, 540-422-7002. ondary schools ahead of their peers, with hopefully a certification or two under their belts.” Participants will take a fundamentals class the first year, and progress from there. Clark said, “Students
will take four basic classes over their four years, as well as other electives along the way. They’ll learn how to build a computer and about networking. We are still working on the final details. It will basically be a set of IT classes, with an emphasis on cyber security.” Clark said that some of the electives that are being considered include Arabic, Turkish, military science and computer math (a computer programming class). He added, “We are looking at offering an endorsement on students’ diplomas” that would indicate their IT expertise. Students interested in the program may fill out an application, which is due April 22. Students will be asked to write about why they are interested in the program and how they would use the skills they learn to further their goals, said Clark. There is a section for parents to fill out as well, and a request for teacher and community recommendations.
“We’d be looking for recommendations from someone else in the school or someone who is in the industry, anyone who can comment on the student’s reliability, problem-solving skills, maturity, collaborative skills, motivation, communication, flexibility, self-confidence, consideration for others and their ability to meet deadlines.” Clark said that he is expecting that “the caliber of students in this program should be pretty high. The application packets will be made available once they are finalized.” For now, the Cyber Security Academy is only available at LHS. According to Sarah Frye, the school division’s instructional supervisor for Career and Technical Education, Kettle Run High School hosts an I-Stem Academy “that does a lot of work with robotics,” and Fauquier High School offers an Environmental Academy that coordinates with the county’s Outdoor Lab.
March is Youth Art Month in Fauquier County

VFW honors police officers By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier attended a VFW Post 9835 ceremony to honor law enforcement officers on Thursday, March 14. He smiled and applauded as Post Commander Jeff Dombroff honored Lt. Arthur Mellon of the Warrenton Police Department and Master Deputy Sheriff Jordan White with “Officer of the Year” awards. Mosier was surprised, however, when VFW District Commander Geoff Lyster stepped to the podium to present him with the post’s first-ever “Citizen of the Year” award. Dombroff explained, “It was a case of one individual clearly rising to the top. This will not necessarily be an annual award; it may be two to three years before someone stands out like this again.” Lyster said of Mosier, “He fulfilled a campaign promise to see his department accredited with the commonwealth of Virginia. His inspired use of Facebook and other media to keep Fauquier’s citizens informed of significant issues, both
good and bad, has brought his department into closer association with the citizens they serve. Lyster also credited Mosier with improving the morale of his department, obtaining higher salaries, reducing staff turnover, increasing the number of resource officers assigned to the county’s schools and doubling the training budget.
Officers of the Year
Lt. Arthur Mellon was nominated for Officer of the Year by Warrenton’s Acting Police Chief Tim Carter. After 19 years on the police force, he is the acting deputy police chief and supervisor of the criminal investigation division and property and evidence section. Dombroff said, “Chief Carter states that Lt. Mellon is indispensable to the department’s efforts to provide efficient and effective law enforcement and policing services in Warrenton.” Dombroff described Master Deputy Sheriff Jordan White as a “leader and role model among his peers.” He highlighted White’s commitment to the mental health-focused crisis intervention team.
Throughout March, visitors to Old Town Warrenton will see Fauquier County Public Schools student artwork in the windows of Main Street businesses, to recognize Youth Art Month. The annual FCPS Arts Festival will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on March 29 and from noon to 3 p.m. on March 30 at Kettle Run High School. The fine arts, drama and music will be celebrated. FCPS spokeswoman Tara Helkowski said, “This annual celebration directs attention to the value of visual art education in a student’s overall success. Studies show students participating in the arts have higher grades in other subjects, score better on standardized tests, have better attendance records, and are more active in community affairs.”
State Police change hiring practices to attract recruits On March 20, the Virginia State Police welcomes 79 new troopers to the State Police Academy. It will be the first time in the department’s history that it has hired applicants to particular vacancies within the field divisions. Traditionally, trooper-trainees would not find out their first patrol assignments until mid-way through their academy training. Col. Gary T. Settle, Virginia State Police superintendent, said, “For more than 85 years, new troopers and their families had to wait to find out where they would

In today’s society, such a delay is too much of a burden for families having to relocate on short notice and has been a deterrent for some... By hiring to existing trooper vacancies in the field, we are already seeing positive results within our recruitment efforts to attract qualified candidates.” The Virginia State Police is actively hiring for the 131st training session, which is scheduled to begin in early 2020. Trainees are paid while attending the academy; a year after graduation they will be earning $48,719. Those assigned to Northern Virginia receive additional compensation due to the region’s higher cost of living.

Fauquier Times | March 20, 2019
Citizen participation is the key to effective government Warrenton Town Council members are in the process of formulating a new budget and a new comprehensive plan. They are actively asking for residents’ input – in meetings, in surveys and through the town website. National, and to a lesser extent, state politics get all the glamour and attention, but when it comes to having a direct effect on all of us, nothing compares to the decisions made on the local level. These are the classic “money-in-your-pocket” issues. Fauquier County Supervisor Holder Trumbo annually laments a lack of public involvement in the process of drawing up a new budget — that not enough citizens let their supervisors know how their tax dollars should be spent. But perhaps there are positive signs that this is changing. An unofficial count of more than 200 showed up for the March 12 public hearing on the county budget. While many of those in attendance were teachers presenting an organized front regarding funding for schools, it does not change the fact that citizens directly affected by the decisions made by our local leaders came out to be heard. There were 46 such speakers at the county budget public hearing at Fauquier High School, and while there was a three-minute time limit per speaker, it wasn’t enforced. The public hearing was scheduled to run for two hours — 7 to 9 p.m.— but it went into overtime. It was adjourned at 9:20. Supervisor Chris Granger related a story of how he was stopped in the street by a constituent to talk about the budget. This is how local government should work. Residents should be lauded for taking an interest in how their tax dollars are spent, whether it’s by taking part in public hearings or approaching representatives directly. Somewhat coincidently, last week was Sunshine Week. An initiative of the American Society of News Editors established in 2005, Sunshine Week was designed to educate the public about the importance of open government and dangers of doing business in secrecy, and coincides each year with James Madison’s birthday and National Freedom of Information Day on March 16. It is no surprise news that editors were the driving force behind Sunshine Week. Journalists have long relished their watchdog role in the affairs of government. But sunshine laws apply to all of us, not just the “traditional press.” The Virginia Freedom of Information Act gives the public the right of access to meetings on the state and local level, proper notice of such meetings and access to meeting minutes. These are basic rights that separate us from other nations — the right to be heard. We have the right to a government that operates in plain sight, and we have the right to have a say how our tax money is spent — but we have to take advantage of those rights. It is easy to let other priorities take precedence in our lives and complain about the outcome of government decisions later. We acknowledge there are many concerns that compete for our attention and time. So we applaud those who came out last week to state their case on the budget and address funding for the schools, and we commend the local leaders who encourage it. We sincerely hope their examples inspire our fellow residents to consider doing the same.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In May 1961, Warrenton Elementary School students in Ada Claire Snyder’s class Ronnie Anthony and Jimmy Shipe created a diorama of a battle during the Civil War Peninsula Campaign. It took the boys three weeks to complete the project. 75 Years Ago March 23, 1944 The Army, Navy and Marine Corps are represented on the service flag of Mr. and Mrs. Harry I. Smith of Midland, who have a daughter in the Army and sons in the Navy and Marines. They are Marine Gunnery Sergeant Harry W. Smith, 25, who is serving in the South Pacific; Homer Smith, 18, now at the Naval Training School in Richmond; and Pvt. Naomi Smith (better remembered as “Jill” Orndoff), one of the first women to join the AirWAC, composed of WACS who serve exclusively with the Army Air Forces. She is stationed at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. The Distinguished Flying Cross has been awarded to Lt. Eugene D. Moffett of Warrenton, a member of the Ninth Air Force based in England, “…for making relentless attacks with medium bombers over the coast of France.” 50 Years Ago March 20, 1969 The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at the Warrenton armory to collect blood on March 27. The director of the blood program here is Dr. John T. Hazel. Members of the Jaycees and the Rotary Club will be competing to see which of their groups has the largest number of donors. Board of Supervisors Chairman John B. Adams was photographed

The money will be used for a new taxiway, hard surfacing and other runway improvements. First Sgt. Carroll D. McGuinn of Upperville is recovering from wounds received Feb. 18 in combat in Vietnam. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel McGuinn, he has been in the Army for 20 years and has received three Bronze Stars. 25 Years Ago March 23, 1994 Conservatives enjoyed a sweeping victory in elections for the Fauquier Republican Committee, taking over as chairman and the election of several new members who may take the group sharply to the right. Daniel L. Light, a business consultant, edged Warrenton lawyer Jeffrey Parker for the chairmanship, 306 votes to 301. Serving on the committee are Robert J. Miller Jr., William A. Beeton Jr., Madge M. Eicher, James B. Hutt Jr., Joseph R. Keesling, Janet M. Overgard and Calvin L. Ritchie. The proposed Fauquier County budget for Fiscal Year 1994-1995 was published, with FY1994 adopted totaling $87,847,664; FY1995 requested at $90,249,152; and FY1995 recommended at $84,712,457. — Compiled by John T.

Extremism born from power of hate “Think about it — [Rep. Ilhan Abdullahi] Omar wears a hijab. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?” Fox rightly condemned these remarks by Jeanine Pirro and did not air her show this weekend. Our president had a different response. President [Donald] Trump took to Twitter this morning to encourage Fox to “Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country.” I only wish he could find that much outrage for the victims of the New Zealand terrorist attack. A white nationalist gunman who openly admired Trump as “a symbol of renewed white iden-
tity and common purpose” massacres 50 Muslims in their house of worship. In response, President Trump sent his “warmest sympathy and best wishes” to the people of New Zealand.” while refusing to acknowledge the growing global white nationalist threat. Our own FBI and Department of Homeland Security warned in 2017 that white supremacist groups had carried out more attacks in the U.S. than any other domestic extremist groups over the past 16 years. In fact, according to CNN, from 2009 to 2018, right wing extremists accounted for 73 percent of domestic terrorism deaths. Yet Trump shut down programs to counter violent extremism, proposed we study mosques and create a database of Muslims, and insists that “Islam hates us.” Last night I attended a vigil for the victims of the Christchurch mosques. As I pulled into the parking lot of the
Digging deeper on letter about CPAC On a more peaceful day as I read the opinion section, March 13, an article virtually jumped off the page claiming President [Donald] Trump disrespected our flag at the CPAC [Feb 28 to March 2]. I thought how can that be, given our president’s quarrel with NFL players disrespectful to the flag, for starters? So, I dug deeper into the article for an explanation. In brief, the writers stated as President Trump opened the event, he was guilty of “...mishandling ‘Old Glory’ in front of thousands of fans who clapped, applauded, indicated their enthusiasm for this display of disrespect and debasement of the flag of the United States of America.” Now I’m thinking, what’s wrong with this picture, as the article continues to take offense with not only the president’s action but also with the attendees who supposedly despise our flag, our country, in keeping with presidential “friends” [emphasis mine] like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, et al., not to mention berating the whole “two-hour display of madness.” In
To support our proactive efforts, our leadership strategy will change. No longer will any employee of the sheriff’s office have a fear of failure while creativity and decisiveness will be emphasized. Furthermore, they will not be required to work under the current “at-will” status and “non-disclosure agreement,” which obstructs ingenuity and resolve. This notion that deputies must be careful how they interact with the public based on political affiliations and special interests is outrageous. This election should not be a popularity contest, but a review of on-going public safety issues, budget management, fair and equitable services, employee development and opportunity and partnerships to ensure we have the best law enforcement services available. It is time for change so we are no longer identified as the “epicenter” for the opioid crisis. Change starts with being transparent, accountable and fiscally responsible. Leadership and management issues such as unjustified funds allotted to accreditation and unnecessary equipment, the inability to
fully staff our schools with safety and security officers, and the poor results from an internal employee survey should all impact your decision whether change is needed. Please visit www. cochranesheriff2019.com/foia-results for more details. So, are you now ready for change? Remember, the sheriff position belongs to you, the community, and not any one person. Employee wellness and community safety will always be paramount, and I will never apologize for my passion about public safety or public service. This attitude will be the new norm to make sure our law enforcement team has the greatest chance of success serving the citizens of Fauquier County in a professional, proactive and positive manner. In the end, please do not judge the current administration on what happens over the campaign year, instead evaluate them over the last three years. Thank you for taking the time to read this editorial and for my public safety partners, take care and stay safe! Christopher Cochrane is a candidate for sheriff in the June 11 Republican primary.

Junkluggers hauling its way to a cleaner planet By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Each year, more than 9 billion pounds of garbage are produced in the United States. Any way you cut it, it’s a whole lot of trash. And growing. About 25 percent of that mountain of detritus is recycled. The remaining three-quarters consists of valuable glass, metal, paper and other materials tossed into landfills. Fortunately, recycling has progressed over the last several decades. In 1980, Americans recycled 15 million tons of garbage. By 2016 that number had climbed to well over 90 million tons, and it continues to grow. Operating with a larger vision, the newest member of Northern Virginia’s business community is channeling tired household goods into second lives by recycling furniture, appliances, glass, metal and other commodities. The company’s business model centers on moving used things to their next useful stage. And it does not involve a visit to a landfill. Potential customers might include families renovating a home, empty nesters cleaning out after a young adult’s departure, loved ones disposing of a life of accumulated possessions after the death of an elder-
ly family member, or simply those switching out one piece of furniture for another. Welcome to Junkluggers.
Hauling for humanity
The force behind Junkluggers is Mark Harrington, 44, a Haymarket resident, husband and father of three young ones. He is a native Virginian who grew up in Alexandria and Springfield. The first part of his professional career centered on business development in the IT industry. “I worked for a mid-size Chantilly firm, securing IT contracts for eight years and then spent 12 years with a larger firm in a similar capacity. That company was sold in 2016 and I took time off to consider what I wanted to do with the rest of my life,” said Harrington. Energetic and imaginative, Harrington has a strong entrepreneurial streak. He undertook extensive research on franchises to find one that was both profitable and would contribute to the common good. Junkluggers resonated as among the best. The company was the original brainchild of Josh Cohen, who stumbled on the idea of an environmentally friendly junk service in 2004 while studying in Australia. He returned to the states and established the nascent service using his mom’s SUV. Needless to say, that original workhorse has been put out to pas-
ture. Today, the company is a highly rated waste-and-junk-removal franchise. With his experience in business development, Harrington quickly assessed the potential success factor of opening his own hauling company. “Initially I didn’t know anything about the industry, but after my research, it was appealing to me and it fit my skill set.” Two months ago, the local firm began service and is now serving all of Northern Virginia, D.C. and suburban Maryland. Its service is simplicity itself, mobilized in green trucks. Junkluggers contracts to haul any used household goods and recycles almost 100 percent of the contents. When a truck full of former life stuff leaves a customer’s home or office, its destination is either partner charities or recycling centers. “Frankly, the term junk is a misnomer. Often, it’s simply things that … need to start a new life somewhere else,” Harrington explained. He added, “at Junkluggers we save our customers money and time and respect their commitment to the planet. We believe in a holistic approach to the waste stream. We want to reduce the volume of material headed to landfills, redirecting as much as possible into donating, recycling and upcycling.” Here’s how it works: A custom-
er places a call to the firm and arranges for a free estimate. After an agreement on terms, the company’s two-man team arrives with one of its trucks, outfitted with an off-loadable 15-yard container. The container is only left on site when the sorting and packing cannot be accomplished in one visit. As the used materials are removed from the home, items are separated according to their intended disposal. Furniture, lamps, appliances, etc. that obviously have second-life potential are packed separately from glass, metal and other recyclable materials. “Currently we have six designatSee JUNKLUGGERS, page 12

Time for some financial spring cleaning Spring is here – and for many of us, that means it’s time for some spring cleaning. This year, in addition to tidying up your home, why not try brightening your financial environment? Some of the same moves you make to clean your surroundings may apply to your finances. Consider these suggestions:
Get rid of clutter
When you go through your closets, attic, basement or other areas, you may find many items you no longer need. You might be able to sell some of these things or find other ways of disposing of them. And as you review your portfolio, you might also encounter “clutter” in the form of investments that may be redundant to others you own. If so, you might consider selling these investments and using the proceeds to purchase new ones, which may help you broaden your portfolio.
Protect yourself from hazards
As you go about your spring cleaning, you may well encounter hazardous substances, such as cleaning agents, paints, batteries, pesticides and so on, which you don’t need any more and which may pose potential health risks. You can reduce the possible danger from these materials by recycling or disposing of them in an environmentally safe way. Your overall financial situation
stocks. Over the long run, increased share ownership is a key to helping build your portfolio. FINANCIAL PLANNING
SARAH ATKINS has hazards, too, in the form of illness or injury preventing you from working, or, in your later years, the need for some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home. To protect yourself, you may need appropriate insurance, including disability and long-term care.
Find new uses for existing possessions
When you are sprucing up your home, you may rediscover uses for things you already have. Who knows – perhaps that treadmill that’s been gathering dust in your garage could actually be employed again as part of your rededicated exercise regimen. And you might be able to get more mileage out of some of your existing investments, too. Suppose, for instance, that some of your stocks are paying you dividends, which you take as cash. If you don’t really need this income to support your lifestyle, you might consider reinvesting the dividends so that you can own more shares of the dividend-paying
Establish new habits
Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be just about physical activities – it can also involve a new set of habits on your part. For example, instead of placing your unread magazines in an ever-expanding pile, try to read and recycle them quickly. You can also develop some positive habits as an investor, such as “paying yourself first” by regularly putting some money in an investment account each month, even before paying all your bills. You can also avoid some bad habits, such as overreacting to market downturns by selling investments to “cut your losses,” even though those same investments may still have strong growth potential and may still be suitable for your needs. Doing some spring cleaning can make you feel better about your living space today. And applying some of these techniques to your financial situation can help you gain a more positive outlook for tomorrow.

The average job to “clean house” runs around $533. In the next few months, Harrington will open a 5,000-squarefoot warehouse as a remix marketplace. “It will be a further testament to sustainability and 100 percent landfill diversion. “If a piece of furniture is really banged up and one of our charities does not want it, the last thing we want to do is take it to a landfill. At the center, we can re-purpose and refinish it and upcycle those pieces to sell them, giving a portion of the proceeds back to a charity. “What I really would like to ultimately do with the center is create a ‘do-it-yourself’ operation and have creative people produce art and craft items to benefit a charity,” said Harrington.

LIBERTY It may sound shocking, but don’t be surprised to see Liberty win big. Why, they could even be Fauquier County’s best. That’s right, with the most onfield-experience of the three county teams, Eagles’ first-year coach Chase Cox is set for a strong debut year. Cox, a long-time travel coach, inherits a solid core of seniors including Alex Martinez and Luke Payne, who were the Eagles’ top goal scorers in 2018. “I think we should be pretty top notch offensively,” Cox said. “We are looking for big things and to go to the top.” How big, coach? “I would like to see us win the conference championship. That is a pretty big goal but I think it is reasonable if we come together and bond as a team.” If Martinez and Payne can find the
“We have a lot of talent and a lot to work with coming in right off the bat.” LHS COACH CHASE COX back of the net, the Eagles should thrive. “Alex has been in this program for a long time. He has excellent ball skills and is phenomenal working with some of the younger guys,” Cox said. “And Luke is going to be a big factor for us.” Returning starter Noah Fox and Khata Kraiwan should shine in the midfield. “Khata has a lot of experience at the club level and has played overseas a bit throughout his career,” Cox said. “He is just very experienced and has great leadership qualities.”
FAUQUIER Coach Juan Garcia has eight starters back from a program that’s gaining traction and building consistency. Since taking over five seasons ago, Garcia has helped Fauquier go 31-22-8. While the Falcons have become solid, Garcia longs for the next step: a deep Kettle Run-style playoff run. “One of the things that we have harped on this preseason is understanding that in order for us to reach the next level life is going to demand a different version of us. We are trying to figure out what that looks like as far as style of play goes,” said Garcia. Fauquier was surprised last season when Millbrook eliminated it in the conference tournament. It didn’t help that leading scorer David Cruz missed the game.
David Cruz had a sensational freshman year.
KETTLE RUN With state titles in 2015 and 2017, coach Philip Roper’s Cougars are the beacon of sports dominance in Fauquier County. The 2019 year could begin with some road bumps, says Roper, who expects his Cougars to round into form when it counts. “We graduated quite a few seniors and we are going to be pretty young this year,” Roper said. “We have about six seniors this year. We are going to be looking for all of them to contribute. We have about five sophomores that are up on varsity which might be the most we have ever had on varsity.” German exchange student Richard Meseg has been “a pleasant surprise and done really well,” says Roper. Sophomores Max Pillow and Jaden Lucero are expected to have big roles. Already a star is sophomore goalkeeper John Otooni. “He was tremendous for us last year as a freshman. I am expecting nothing less this year,” said Roper. Senior Kris Schulte is seeing his first action since his sophomore season. “He didn’t play last year and only played about half the season sophomore year but he has been the leader that we have been craving. He brings a lot of positive things,” Roper said.
“From a talent standpoint I am excited with what we have.” FHS COACH JUAN GARCIA Cruz, only a sophomore, is back, along with senior mainstay Xavier Barreda. Defensively, Garcia says the Falcons have holes to fill. “We will be leaning on Jerry Bejger to control our back line. Chris Chirasello is a freshman stepping in at center back. He definitely has the size but he is also a freshman so there will be some growing pains against kids that are 17 and 18 years old.” Goalie looks like a position of strength. “We have been lucky to be deep
“Anytime you play Fauquier and Liberty you can expect the games to be closer than what some might expect.” KETTLE RUN COACH PHILIP ROPER While the Cougars are young, they do possess a fair amount of experience and talent. “I think we have a strong attack,” Roper said. “We are still working on the pieces of our defense. We may be looking at playing some guys out of their normal positions. We have guys that are willing to sacrifice and willing to do whatever it takes to make this team successful. I am really enjoying this group of guys even though we are only a couple of weeks in.” Kettle Run will also look to build off of the success from the football and basketball teams, who both had deep postseason runs and ignited a student fan base. “It is always great when we can get more people out to the games. We started to see that towards the end of last year. If we can keep that going that would really help out. I’m not really sure what to expect from the teams in the conference this year,” Roper said.
at goalkeeper. This year we have Josh Harris who is coming off an ACL injury and we are excited to have him with Luis Rodriguez backing him up.” A Northwestern District title is Fauquier’s goal. “We expect to finish in the top three of the conference. Last year we were disappointed in the fact that we beat Millbrook and Handley going in to the tournament and then things just didn’t break our way during playoffs,” said Garcia. The coach says his team must navigate a seven-game, 14-day gruel-athon in mid-April. “The most important stretch is going to be right after spring break,” Garcia said. “We are the only team in our conference that plays back-to-back games let alone three games a week for the two weeks right before playoffs.”

Fauquier is coming off a 2-13 campaign with zero Northwestern District victories in 2018. Although 16 players return, nineyear coach Rick Ashley doesn’t expect an instantaneous turnaround. “We have the same issue that we have every year. We definitely lack the physical size and strength of the other teams in our district,” Ashley said. Ashley added he’s “very high on the potential of our team, but I believe we will have a hard time this spring with our youth and our size disadvantage.” The Falcons scored only 10 goals last spring in 15 outings, surrendering 47. Sophomore Sydney Trussell notched three goals in 2018, with Abby Wells and Ashby Nye scoring two. Kelsie Emmer and Kamryn Bishop both had a single tally. “We need to figure out what group of attacking players will help us score more goals this spring,” the coach emphasized. The Falcons graduated two key center midfielders in Caroline Diehl and Beth Larkin. Ashley said Ava Hayes and Lauren Farris have the ability to play at the same high level. Hanna Vereen, a sophomore, recorded 89 saves in goal last season, and Tarah Markell returns for her fourth season as a starting defender. Kaitlyn Lonsinger, Sofie Marino, Marissa Kunkel, Olivia Louden, Kara Gilpen, Carmen Canino, Emma Chesley, Kamryn Bishop, Mya Thomas-Ordonez, Eva McCrehin, Sarah Wright, Grace Chesley, Alex Uribe and Jenna Mooney complete the varsity.

Davis & Elkins College plays Maggie Williams’ style of basketball. “They like to shoot the three,” Williams told friends and family at a recent commitment ceremony with the NCAA Division III program in Elkins, West Virginia. A four-year letterman, Williams was a first team all-Northwestern District and second-team all-Region 4C selection. She averaged nearly 11 points a game to finish with 559 career points to go with 363 rebounds. Williams said her travel team coach mentioned potential college destinations and Davis & Elkins intrigued her. “I reached out, and they answered. We started having conversations,” Williams said. “It was so nice up there, and I loved it. I liked it was smaller (with 837 students) and away from things.” She was a softball player who tried basketball for the first time as a sixth grader at Taylor Middle school and was hooked. “I like the high activity. You’re always moving, and you don’t stand still,” she said. LHS coach Quynh Nguyen
Last spring, six senior starters led Liberty’s boys lacrosse team to its best record in history.

So they have a steep climb as they seek their first winning record since at least 2004, if ever. Liberty entered last season after amassing a 32-143 record since the start of its 2005 season, but then the Eagles went 6-7 in 2018, giving them more than five wins for the first time in history.

PLAYOFFS? COUGARS EXPECT THEM. By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Next on the Kettle Run Cougars’ checklist is a state tournament victory. They won a region tournament game for the first time in their boys lacrosse history last year en route to claiming their first region title and first state berth. At 13-3, Kettle Run composed one of its best seasons, which ended with a 22-8 loss to Dominion in the Class 4 state semifinals. “The goal is to get back to that same game, and win,” Cougars coach Blake Smith said. “I don’t think it’s any pressure, but I think the anticipation is there. I hope we can give a better showing.” With eight returning starters, Kettle Run expects another playoff run. That group includes three allstate juniors, spaced throughout the field with Jimmy Dooly at attack, Ashton Short in the midfield and Connor Gladstone on defense. Kettle Run also has four senior returning starters in attackman Braedan Allen, midfielder Jack Kroll (all-region second team) and defensemen Nate Shaffer (all-region seconds team) and Sean Kennedy (all-region seconds team).

Falcons have tough defense, new coach By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
After advancing to state for only the second time in history last boys lacrosse season, the Fauquier Falcons lost nearly half of their roster to graduation and watched the coaching staff depart. More transition occurred last week when new coach Ron Moon decided to leave the team due to his wife’s illness, said J.B. Tippett, who joined the staff as an assistant before recently taking over Moon’s role. “That doesn’t throw a great dynamic into anything, but we’ve all been working with the team since January. I think we’ve really come together and jelled,” Tippett said. Tippett, who has about eight years of coaching experience at the age 8-14 youth lacrosse level, leads a Fauquier team that has only three returning starters from a 10-5 squad that joined the 2015 Falcons as the only teams in program history to earn state berths. Fauquier lost all-region attackmen Jack Averna, Jackson Eicher and Nate Thomason, as well as all-region midfielders Cole Anderson and Anthony Munoz. “We’re a real young team, but they’ve got a lot of heart, a lot of grind,” Tippett said. “We have the opportunity to do some really good things.
Recent records 2018: 10-5*^ 2017: 10-7* 2016: 4-9 2015: 13-5*^ 2014: 8-5* 2013: 9-6* 2012: 7-8 2011: 3-10 2010: 3-10 2009: 7-7 2008: 11-4* 2007: 8-8 2006: 9-5 2005: 2-12 *Region appearance ^State appearance

“As with any young team, I think folks aren’t going to take us seriously as maybe we should be taken,” he said. “I think we’re going ... surprise some folks.” Defense will likely lead Fauquier’s quest to defend the Region 4B title. All three of the Falcons’ returning starters reside in the defensive third of the field. Senior Kevin McEachin earned a spot on the Class 4 all-state second team and junior Logan Railey made the all-region first team, while senior Garrett Miller joins them as team captains and rounds out the defensive corps. “Most of those guys have been playing together since seventh, eighth grade,” Tippett said. “Defense

Sheppard has saddled a mere 136 timber starters out of his 27,000 runners in his 54 years in the business, but the legendary trainer made an exception with Ed Swyer’s Codrington College, who posted a sterling victory at Saturday’s season-opening Warrenton Hunt Point-to-Point at Airlie. The Irish-bred inherited the lead in the threemile open timber feature when Romancing fell heavily at the 11th. Jumping boldly on the front end for apprentice rider Eddie Keating, Codrington College repelled a late move by Church Music (Brett Owings up) to draw off by six at the wire. Church Music held for second, with King Candy (Kieran Norris) third. Because of more race opportunities and higher purses, Sheppard prefers his charges to race over hurdles. Sheppard has trained some 20,000 starters on the flat and about 7,000 over fences. The 136 timber runners represent less than a half-percent of his conditioning total. Early in his hurdle career — he won seven over the soft hedges — Codrington College displayed jumping form to excel over timber, Sheppard said. The rangy chestnut, now 9, has vindicated Sheppard’s decision with two wins and a second in three lifetime starts over timber. He was second in his first try over timber last spring at Airlie in the novice, with a follow-up romp in his sanctioned timber debut at Charlotte a month later. He’d been away from the races 11 months until Saturday. Sheppard is an English native who started his career as assistant to Burley Cocks, taking out his public license in 1965. Cocks was named to the Racing Hall of Fame in 1985, Sheppard in 1990. Keating appreciated the ride. “I’m lucky to get such a great opportunity to ride for Mr. Sheppard today,” Keating said. Irish-born like Codrington College, Keating, 28, rode 150 races in Ireland before coming to the U.S. to ride the circuit last spring. He’s picked up nearly 60 mounts, mostly for trainer Leslie Young, but counts the win for Sheppard as “a memorable day, for sure.” Keating also got the call on Sheppard’s own Invigorating to win the novice rider turf. The second-generation Sheppard homebred won wire-towire under a hand ride in the day’s fastest over the mile and a half — 2:44 4/5.

Roberts back from suspension
In the day’s other racing, rider Jacob Roberts made a winning return to the races after serving
a three-year suspension for an “unbecoming conduct” incident at the 2016 Virginia Gold Cup meet. Roberts partnered Kinross Farm’s Jump to Juneau to a commanding wire-to-wire score in the novice timber. He also steered Donna Rogers’ Dapper Dan to an easy win in the Virginia-bred turf race. Neil Morris trains both winners from his new base at the Middleburg Training Center. Upperville-based Julie Gomena also saddled a pair of winners, Bon Nouvel Chasers’ Repeat Repeat in the maiden hurdle and Kinross’ Mutin in the open hurdle. Last year’s circuit champ Kieran Norris was up for both. Complete results and more photos are at centralentryoffice.com.

In a hurry to get well Piedmont Urgent Care celebrates first anniversary By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Back in 2004, the physicians at Piedmont Family Practice in Warrenton spotted a trend: an increasing number of patients were looking for doctor appointments after hours and on weekends. Often these patients were younger people with no family physician; they did not want to spend time in a hospital emergency room seeking treatment for the flu or a sprained back. Like a moistened finger held high in the air trying to judge which way the breeze is blowing, this Warrenton medical practice doctors “felt” a trend and launched Family Docs on Call. They offered evening and weekend hours out of their existing offices. The patients came. On March 15, 2018, the service was moved into a separate section of the same building (the Warrenton Professional Center) and renamed Piedmont Urgent Care. It’s open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week. The original concept of 14 years ago proved prescient. Today there are more than 7,100 urgent care centers in the United States, serving 160 million patients. “We have three nurse practitioners down there, with at least two working during the entire day,” said Dr. Christopher Ward, a primary care physician and a member of the practice. “Down there” is 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 101B, one floor below the main practice. The office has a separate entrance and its

own patient parking. Up to 40 patients daily are served; no appointment is necessary. A typical visit lasts about 45 minutes, but can extend to more than an hour, depending on the patient load at the time and the treatment that may be required. Ward, 49, is one of eight medical doctors with the practice, which also employs eight “physician extenders.” Physician extenders are professionals who can treat, order tests and prescribe drugs. Ward said, “If they are falling behind or have a difficult diagnosis, we can walk down one floor to provide needed assistance.” Ward is married to another physician, Dr. Amy Trace, who works with him, giving new meaning to the term “family practice.” “We were married right after medical school in Ohio and were looking for a region without the cold winter months of the north. “We visited Virginia and fell in love with Warrenton and joined this practice in 2001,” he said. The couple has two daughters.
Treatment and advice
A patient with virtually any type of medical condition can walk through the door of an urgent care center, but it’s designed to treat semi-urgent situations. If the problem can wait, patients are encouraged to see their own doctor, if they have one. Ward said, “There are some things you don’t want to wait on, like a sinus infection, possible pneumonia, lacerations or strep throat. We are not set up to handle things like a heart attack, stroke or car accident. In those cases, a person should go directly to a hospital emergency room.” Piedmont Urgent Care’s patient demographic is broad, but tends to skew toward a somewhat younger profile. “My guess is younger folks tend to not have a relationship with a doctor because they don’t have many chronic health problems,” said Ward. “The biggest factor is probably the convenience of being able to just walk in and get treated.” At the end of the day, though, the ultimate goal is to not have to visit a medical provider in the first place. How to achieve that? The good doctor offers some counsel: “First, take care of the things you can take care of, for both your physical and mental health. Both are so important to the overall quality of life. You can’t do anything about genetics, and you can’t do much about what you are exposed to, like workplace stressors,” he said. What one can do is eat a healthy diet, avoid fast food, get regular ex-

Take care of yourself like you take care of the material things you own.” He added, “We are a consumer-driven culture. Unfortunately, social media and cellphones have become ubiquitous in our lives. Our brains need to settle down and process things in a quieter, meditative state.” He recommends simple outdoor walks as restorative. “We are surrounded by the constant pinging of digital devices; it creates a stress factory. We never really get a chance to rest. That affects our immune system and raises stress hormone levels.” He also believes the health care system itself needs some healing. “We are working toward a better model, to keep people healthier for longer periods.” The goals of both Piedmont Family Practice and Piedmont Urgent Care are to integrate with the community and enhance the health and well-being of Fauquier County residents and beyond, Ward said. “We are really trying to invest and become part of the communi-
ty, because most of us live here. We are raising our families here and we want to provide the same service that we want for our families.” The ultimate message from Ward is that physicians and patients must work together to enhance lives. Shared responsibility will lead to a more joy-filled existence. For a full description of its services, visit Piedmont Urgent Care at www.piedmont-urgent-care.com.

Mount Everest too far? Try Human trafficking conference set for March 30 hiking High Knob in Fauquier Staff Reports According to statistics from Just Ask Prevention, every afternoon across America, thousands of young people are tricked. They believe they are conversing with a friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend, but they’re being conned. They are actually talking to a sex trafficker who is manipulating them so that they can be exploited for profit. Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise in the world. Victims come from all communities across the United States. More than 100,000 children are exploited annually in the United States. St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and Life Line Counseling 4 Addictions will partner to present a community resilience conference on Saturday, March 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Mercy Hall, 186 John E. Mann St., Warrenton.

Is She Safe for the Winter?
I recently had the pleasure of being a guest in home of the ambassador of Nepal. Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia. It is located mainly in the Himalayas with about 30 million people, 19,000 of them Americans. It borders China to the north and India in the south, east, and west. Bangladesh is located within only 17 miles of its southeastern tip. Nepal has eight of the 10 highest peaks in the world, with of course Mount Everest being the tallest. What does “world's highest” really mean? Mount Everest is called the world's highest mountain because it has the “highest elevation above sea level.” We could also say that it has the “highest altitude.” The peak of Mount Everest is 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) above sea level. No other mountain on Earth has a higher altitude. Nepal offers many high-adventure options, as well as some of the most brilliant mountain sceneries and mountain treks (that are not for the faint of heart). However, if climbing Mount Everest is not at the top of your list, how about High Knob right here in Fauquier County? It comes in at 2,388 feet, followed by Blue Mountain at 2,210 feet, and Rattlesnake Mountain at 2,150 feet. Outside of Fauquier County, Virginia has peaks that are more than 5,000 feet. Spring is right around the corner and there is no better time to get out and hike one of our peaks. High Knob is located in between Manassas Gap and Chester Gap, just east of Front Royal. The summit of the peak is the highest point in Fauquier

ALESIA HOUSE County and the highest point of the Blue Ridge north of the Shenandoah National Park. The mountain was also a strategic location for the Battle of Wapping Heights during the Civil War. Fauquier County is home to 41 summits, ridges, ranges, trails and other mountain features. If you are headed out for a day hike to one of many Virginia peaks, be prepared: • Bring a backpack with some snacks, nuts, fruit or granola. • Be prepared for a lack of cellphone coverage. • Keep in mind it is usually cooler in the higher elevations. • Keep your eyes open for wildlife; some good bug spray to keep ticks at bay is a good thing. • Try to hike with a buddy. If you are going on your own, let someone know where you are going. • Always check the weather; “pop up” storms are common in the mountains. • And last but not least, have fun!

200 vehicles expected at April 6 Remington car show By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
It was a surprise when 164 vehicles were entered for last year’s inaugural Remington car show. “We were expecting 50 to 60,” said Ray Bohlayer, one of the organizers. Based on advance interest expressed by two car clubs and others, “we’re looking at 200 vehicles” at this year’s show on April 6. In case of inclement weather, the show will be held on April 27. The cars will be parked along Main Street in downtown Remington from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A DJ will play music and hungry visitors to town will have four food trucks to choose from. Those entering a vehicle in the show pay a $20 registration fee on the day of the show; there is no pre-registration period. Dash plaques will be given to the first 100 registrants. A total of 48 trophies will be presented this year, including best car, best truck, best tractor, best bike, best rat rod, best import, mayor’s choice, police chief’s choice and best in show. The trophies will be awarded at 2:30 p.m. There will also be door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. All of the proceeds from last year’s event -- $5,200 – paid for playground improvements to Margaret M. Pierce Elementary School in Remington. The money from this year’s event will be used to buy a mobile computer cart that can be rolled from classroom to classroom at Pierce, Bohlayer said. For more information, contact Bohlayer at TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC 703-622-0760, Bill Williams at 540-850-5601 Last year’s Remington car show drew 164 vehicles – cars, tractors, motorcycles and trucks. or James Steele at 540-212-9930.

THE LIBRARY PAGE
THE LATEST NEWS FROM AND ABOUT THE FAUQUIER COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Fauquier Times | March 20, 2019
Time for teens at the library Adults come to the library to check out books or apply for jobs online. Young children attend story times or LEGO club. Why do teens come to the library? Libraries provide a safe, non-judgmental place for teens to hang out, meet new friends and get involved in their community. Libraries also offer free access to programs and resources geared specifically for teens and trained reading experts who match the right book with the right teen.
Volunteering
Volunteering at the library is a good way to earn service hours; it also provides the opportunity to gain valuable work experience. During the summer, teen volunteers learn customer service skills by helping patrons register for the summer reading program. They hone their organizational skills while preparing materials and supplies for special events. Experience as a summer reading program volunteer is helpful when applying for a part-time job and can enhance college applications. Applications for teen summer volunteers will be accepted April 1 – 30. Teens 13 and older can complete an application online or stop by their local library location to apply. Interviews and training will be conducted in May.
Teens looking to volunteer yearround need look no further than the Warrenton central library. Teens ages 13-18 can be part of a year-round volunteer program and assist youth services staff with a variety of library programs. Contact Jennifer Diamonti at 540-422-8516 for details.
Planning
Who better to advise librarians about the types of programs and activities teens want at their local library than teens themselves? The Teen Advisory Group at the Bealeton branch library allows teens to do just that. At monthly meetings TAG members plan events, help with library programs and do fun activities. Being a member of TAG is also a great way to meet other teens and earn service hours. To learn more, contact Brandy Smith at 540422-8535 or complete a TAG application online.
Reading
Whether a struggling reader, an English language novice, or developmentally disabled, there is a book for every teen at the library. Young adults can choose from perennial favorites (think “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton) to new releases (“The Poet X” by Elizabeth Acevedo). Here is a sampling of favorite teen
books available at your local Fauquier County Public Library. • “Carry On” by Rainbow Rowellt • “Children of Blood and Bone” by Tomi Adeyemi • “Cinder” by Marissa Meyer • “A Confusion of Princes” by Garth Nix • “The Giver” by Lois Lowry • “On the Come Up” by Angie Thomas • “The Raven Boys” by Maggie Stiefvater • “Slayer” by Kiersten White • “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” by Jenny Han • “Warcross” by Marie Lu For additional suggestions, browse the online catalog or stop by the reference desk at the library nearest you. –Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Fauquier County Public Library

The Farmhouse at Waterloo This circa-1850 (and possibly much older) farmhouse is located in an historic area of Fauquier County, just a few miles from Warrenton on a quiet country lane. It sits, quite literally, in a park-like setting of 200-year-old oak, walnut, tulip poplar, magnolia, cherry and fir trees, and a plethora of flowering shrubs including azalea, hydrangea, roses and hundreds of daffodils. It is centered on a sweeping, manicured lawn, but is surrounded by a buffer of woodland for privacy, with lovely mountain views and spectacular sunsets. The house abounds with character, featuring architectural details including 12-inch heart pine floors, original rounded beams, stone walls, two woodburning fireplaces, antique stained glass, arched built-in shelving, copper sinks, a quaint back staircase and French doors to extra-wide front sitting porch for coffee and sunrises. There are four bedrooms and

REGARDING DEATH
It broke my heart to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of me went with you, The day God called you home. Always on my mind, forever in my heart

Phillip Andrew Blake, 53 of Marshall, VA. passed away on March 3rd, 2019 at Prince William Hospital due to pneumonia. He is survived by his sister Mary Blake of Marshall, VA. Sister Linda Steele and Brother-in-law, Bill Steele both of Aroda, VA. and one niece Desiree Blake of Marshall, VA.
By learning how different cultures regard death, we can open ourselves up to new ways of approaching a subject that many people find difficult to talk about. One of the tenets of Hinduism is the belief in repeated incarnations of the soul that result from the moral law of cause and effect, or “karma.” To halt this never-ending cycle of reincarnation, Hindus must free themselves from attachments to material things, including their bodies. To attain this goal, they often meditate on disease and the aging of their bodies, and imagine their own deaths. Confronting mortality in this way helps them conquer the illusion of individual human existence. This approach may offer some insight into preparing oneself for death. Death is marked in so many ways around the world that an understanding of different rituals can be helpful, particularly in a cross cultural environment. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. We offer a variety of ways for you to honor their life, pay tribute, and celebrate special memories as you begin to heal and find closure. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton. “The Spirit is neither born nor does it die at any time. It does not come into being or cease to exist. It is unborn, eternal, permanent, and primeval.” – Krishna
