Parks, playgrounds debut in time for spring
Riverside Preserve opens April 13 Park will provide first Rappahannock access for Fauquier residents By Debra H. Smyers Contributing Writer
The new Riverside Preserve park in Marshall offers Fauquier County’s first public river access to the Rappahannock River, “all because a contribution made it possible,” said Larry Miller, director of Fauquier County’s parks and recreation department. Charles K. MacDonald, who is retired and lives in Madison County, donated the 196-acre site to Fauquier County in October 2018. MacDonald and his family took pleasure in the scenic views along the river and created trails for hiking.

Baby chicks lost as fire destroys Greenpark Lane home By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Sherry Nichols, of 6062 Greenpark Lane in Warrenton, cried as she watched a couple of dozen firefighters blast water into her house Thursday, attempting to put out the flames. She and her three dogs made it out before the fire moved from the garage into the three-bedroom house, but about 20 baby chicks in the garage were lost. Nichols’ thoughts kept coming back to “her babies.” She was raising the chicks for her son, who lost his own house in Remington to a fire in January 2018. “I was raising the chicks so he could have chickens at his new house in Spotsylvania.

“I was raising the chicks so he could have chickens at his new house in Spotsylvania. They were 6 weeks old. We were just about to move them out of the garage.” SHERRY NICHOLS
They were 6 weeks old. We were just about to move them out of the garage,” said Nichols, who is 60 years old. “I am disabled, so keeping chickens gives me a little something to do.” Nichols said that the tragic chain of events started when a pine tree in her neighborhood fell

about two weeks ago and hit some power lines. “The power company shut off the power this morning at about 9:45,” she said. “I went into the garage and moved the heat lamp that we use for the chicks. The power was already off by then.” Nichols thinks that the power must have come on about 1 p.m. She believes that the heat lamp may have been resting on a rug on the floor and caught fire when power returned to the lamp. She said that she noticed some smoke in the backyard between 1:15 and 1:30 p.m. and thought a neighbor must be burning something. “But then I realized — the garage!” she said.

Kecia Evans is running to unseat Del. Mark Cole in the 88th District By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
“I felt that the 88th District is changing. We need to understand diversity and it’s time for a different voice,” said Kecia Evans, a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination to represent the 88th District in the Virginia House of Delegates. “I would bring a different perspective. I understand people and the life issues they face,” Evans said. “I’m community-driven and passionate about issues constituents face.” Evans supports ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, expunging of the records of non-violent offenders, providing more resources for special education and fighting opioid addiction. Evans said she’s the first African-American woman to seek the 88th District seat. The 88th District includes parts of Fauquier, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties and part of the city of Fredericksburg. The House of Delegates deadlocked 50-50 in February on a bid to force a full floor vote on the ERA. The tie killed the gender-equality measure. Republican Mark Cole, who is seeking his 10th two-year term representing the 88th District, voted against the attempt to advance the bill. He previously said Congress should submit a new ERA
KECIA EVANS to the states. ERA advocates are trying to pick up enough states for ratification that an earlier attempt in the 1980s failed to secure; five states that approved support later rescinded their support. Cole said starting over with a new ERA would eliminate any legal challenges that could come over a re-start of the earlier ratification effort. In explaining her support for expunging non-violent criminal records, Evans said doing so would “give a second chance to people.” A
request to expunge the record could only come after a certain amount of time has passed, completion of probation and compliance with the court’s order, she explained. Somebody convicted of possession of marijuana, for example, would be eligible to have a record of conviction expunged. Before she has a chance of unseating the long-term incumbent, Evans needs to defeat Jess Foster, a criminal defense attorney from Remington who’s had several months head start. The democratic party’s nominee will be chosen in a primary on June 11. Evans is seeking her first elective office. She chairs the special education committee advising the Stafford County Board of Education and she chairs the Stafford Parks and Recreation Commission. She’s also active with Crime Solvers in Stafford County, a community program that offers cash rewards and anonymity to people who provide information that results in the arrest or resolution of an unsolved crime, recovery of stolen property or seizure of illegal drugs. She lives in Stafford County. She’s married and the mother of four children. Evans’ father was in the military. The family moved to Virginia in the early 1990s and she graduated from Gar-Field High School in Woodbridge.
Evans has a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s in digital forensics. She’s working on a master’s degree in law. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Environmental project contributes to the health of the Rappahannock River By Robin Earl
Environmental education
Times Staff Writer
The Rappahannock River is one of the healthier rivers in the Virginia segment of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, said Friends of the Rappahannock program manager Bryan Hofmann; Fauquier High School students conducted water testing on its banks April 1. While a dozen or so students worked with FOR representatives peeking into test tubes and reading charts, another group worked with John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District to dig in the dirt and pound on wooden stakes. The three classes of science students were planting trees at the soonto-be-opened Riverside Preserve in Marshall (see page 1). They pulled their sweatshirt hoods tight around their faces and tried to stand in patches of sun. The wind whipping along the river was cold, but they stayed tough and finished the job. More than 200 trees were planted that morning. “We are extending the buffer, putting in about 650 feet of trees,” said Hofmann. He said there are plans to eventually plant more trees in other sections of the park in the future. The trees are important because they slow the nutrient-rich water running into the river, allowing it instead to seep into the ground, where it is filtered naturally before moving
All students in Virginia are required to complete three Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences during their schooling (once in elementary, middle and high school). One phase of the MWEE is a student action project. The idea of the MWEE is that students learn about human impacts on watersheds and then take action to correct the impacts.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL Sage Smith, Caleb Barron and Xavier Barreda, Fauquier High School students, had a hand in planting more than 200 saplings last week at Riverside Preserve in Marshall. into the groundwater and eventually, the adjacent Rappahannock River. The trees also hold onto soil to prevent erosion of the banks. Hofmann said, “Trees help to stabilize the soil, reduce pollution, and provide habitat for wildlife. The
leaves provide shade and help regulate the temperature of the water and the tree canopy also helps to slow down the rain and allow the water to slowly reach the ground.” The saplings — yellow poplar, river birch, willow oak, pin oak, sycamore, red maple, persimmon, red osier dogwood, silky dogwood and alder — cost about $4.50 each to plant, thanks to grant funds and all the volunteers. Each is equipped with a heavy plastic tube “to protect them from deer and other things that want to eat them,” said Joseph Rossetti, with the Virginia Department of Forestry. The Chesapeake Bay Program has laid out a plan of 900 new miles of riparian buffer needed each year to meet the pollution reduction goals for a healthy Chesapeake Bay. For the past three years, Friends of the Rappahannock and the Piedmont Environmental Council have offered their Headwater Stream Initiative, which provides 100 percent cost share for technical assistance, project design, materials and installation for riparian buffers to qualified property owners in the upper Rappahannock River watershed.
Additionally, the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District, Virginia Department of Forestry, and local Natural Resource Conservation District offices also have programs available for similar riparian buffer projects. Funds for this project and others like it come in part from the Kortlandt Memorial Grant of the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Patagonia, Arbor Day Foundation and more. “We are very fortunate to have a lot of different sources of funding for tree planting programs,” said Hofmann.
Riverside Preserve
The Rappahannock River flows all through Fauquier County’s newest park, for about 0.8 miles of river frontage. “It’s a good place to fish for small-mouth bass,” Hofmann said. “It has good access and it’s not too deep here, which is perfect for fly-fishing.” He added, “This section is part of the upper Rappahannock. The whole river is 184 miles long, traveling from Rappahannock County’s foothills all the way to the Chesapeake Bay. It includes 18 different counties.”
Water quality
FOR recently completed a study of the middle section of the river (the Fredericksburg area). Eleven river tributaries were studied to arrive at a representative sample of the streams in that area. Streams were graded on human health, land use, stream ecology and community engagement. The middle Rappahannock was graded a “C.” FOR was recently awarded a “Make it Happen” grant from the PATH Foundation to develop a second report card focused on the upper Rappahannock River.
To keep the Rappahannock healthy The Friends of the Rappahannock River Middle River Report Card suggests some ways residents can help keep the Rappahannock healthy: Scoop the poop: The report card on the middle section of the Rappahannock River found unsafe bacteria levels in eight of 11 streams tested. Pet waste can introduce bacteria. Fertilize in fall or not at all: Lawn fertilizers add unhealthy amounts of nutrients to steams, harming aquatic ecology and causing dead zones downstream, especially if applied in the spring. Organize a river cleanup: The Friends of the Rappahannock can help with supplies, set up and getting rid of the trash afterward. Support water shed education in schools. Treat runoff on your property: Green infrastructure like rain gardens and rain barrels help capture and absorb pollutants from impervious surfaces like roofs and driveways.

Fresh from the farm Warrenton’s farmers market opens April 20 By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
Warrenton’s farmers market opens Saturday, April 20, featuring some 40 vendors on the southwest corner of Fifth and Lee streets and transforming a public parking lot into an outdoor market from 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday. Now in its third season, a second location outside the WARF is open on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to noon and features a dozen vendors. It will debut May 1 and sometimes will feature food trucks as well. For more than four decades, the Warrenton Farmers Market has provided a creative and critical link between local farmers and the community-at-large. Established by Warrenton’s Town Council in 1975, the market brings together vendors offering not only fruits and vegetables but flowers, goat milk products and some artisan offerings — like beeswax candles.
Royal English Family. Owner Rob Staples may be cooking onsite. Diep Roots offers a cashew nut cheese and Erin’s Elderberries features an unusual elderberry syrup. Market manager Elizabeth Melson is busy helping to organize this year’s markets at the two locations. FarmSpread, at www.farmspread.com, offers a full listing of this year’s vendors. “We are still accepting applications,” said Melson noting that a 12-member board approves all the vendors that appear at the markets. “The market is a great business incubator,” said Melson.

Public schools’ preschool programs offer alternative to private options By Karen Chaffraix
Inquiries about all three preschool programs may be made by calling Lindsay Brady, program supervisor, at 540-422-7144; or emailing lindsay. brady@fcps1.org.
Times Staff Writer
Learning through play was not the only order of the day at Brumfield Elementary in Warrenton last week, as teacher Linda Corcoran sat at a tiny blue table with youngsters Trenton P. and Kacey M. It was “learning center” time, when small groups engage intently with their teacher. These two were practicing their counting skills. Three little ones and Wendie Johnston were huffing and puffing and blowing down popsicle stick houses. Brian Rockefeller’s young student was enjoying one-on-one occupational therapy. Fauquier County Public Schools has three preschool offerings. Parents should be aware, though, that registration evaluations and requirements may be lengthy. The Early Childhood Special Education program has eight classrooms available for children 3 to 5 years old. Children must be found eligible for special education services through an evaluation. Classes meet from 8:35 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., four days a week currently (five days next fall), at eight county elementary schools: Coleman, Pierce, Pearson, Brumfield, Bradley, Grace Miller, C. Hunter Ritchie and Mary Walter. Transportation is provided by the county. The program follows the normal FCPS calendar.

It is tuition-based: $1,500 annually, payable in installments of $500 due on Aug. 30, Dec. 6 and March 6, 2020. Parents provide transportation. Typical Peer candidates must pass a developmental screening, after which they will be invited to a playdate within the ECSE classroom. Children need to be at least 3 years, 6 months by Sept. 30. The 2019 program starts Sept. 3. Notice of admission will be received by May 17. Virginia Preschool Initiative is a financial needs-based program available for preschoolers within the county. Children must be 4 years old by
Sept. 30. Transportation is provided by the county. Classes are held five days per week from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. The family must meet one of three requirements: they must be at 200 percent of the federal poverty level or less; one parent did not graduate from high school; or the family is considered homeless. There is often a waiting list for this program, so parents are asked to apply early. Lindsay Brady, director of all three programs, said last week, “These are wonderful programs for preschoolers. It’s curriculum based; you have a certified teacher and an instructional assistant. And the Typical Kids program teaches patience and tolerance. It teaches the typical kids as much as it teaches the kids in early childhood special education.” She said the screenings of all the children allow appropriate groupings. “I’d have my daughter in the program next year if I had the ability to pick her up at 1:15,” she said. Hannah Baer of Orlean has her son, Spencer, in the ECSE program this year. “It’s been a blessing for Spencer,” she said Tuesday, “being able to receive speech therapy and interact with children on his level. He has blossomed and developed so well, and he enjoys it.”

Wallace has three Arby’s restaurants in Fredericksburg, one in Stafford and one in King George County. A comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning and special exception are needed to allow construction of Convergent Technology Park, a data center, on 139 acres of undeveloped land south of the intersection of U.S. 29/15 and James Madison Street. (A data center is a physical facility that stores organizations’ critical applications and data.) Several buildings built over a period of five to seven years are planned. The planning commission will make a recommendation to the
county board of supervisors on each of the applications. At the April 18 meeting, the board will also consider a comprehensive plan amendment to the rural lands chapter as well as creating an overlay district to guide development and preserve landscape features between Dumfries Road and the Prince William County line along U.S. 29/15. The commission will also consider applications to include several properties in the agricultural and forestal district. If included, property owners qualify for special land use assessment and lower property taxes. The planning commission meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the first-floor meeting room of the Warren Green building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton.

They have lived in the neighborhood for 34 years and remembered several other fires in the neighborhood over the years. “I can remember at least six,” said Sally Biondi. “That seems like a lot.” By about 2:15 p.m., firefighters were breaking into the house through windows and doors, attempting to reach the interior rooms. The roof appeared to be almost completely collapsed. Sherry Nichols and her husband Jim have lived on Greenpark Lane since 1983, and raised their three children there. As Nichols watched the firefighters, she remembered that her medicine had been in the house. “I take a lot of blood pressure medicine. That’s gone now, too.”

She said she opened the door to the garage and saw the flames, then shut the door as the smoke billowed toward where she was standing. “I called the dogs and grabbed my cellphone and headed for the front door.” Nichols estimated that it took about five minutes for the battalion chief to arrive, then another five for the fire and rescue trucks to arrive. “It felt like forever,” she said. Nichols said she thought about opening the garage door, but then realized the rush of air would only feed the fire. She remembered that she called her daughter, who lives in Remington and cried, “I’ve lost my house!” Fire and rescue trucks from all over Fauquier County, including Warrenton, The Plains and Marshall, as well as several from Prince Wil-

Park will provide first Rappahannock access for Fauquier residents PRESERVE, from Page 1 A free celebration and grand opening of Riverside Preserve will take place at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 13, at the park, 8150 Leeds Manor Road, in Marshall. The day will begin with a short ceremony at 9 a.m., followed by activities until 11 a.m. Guided walks through scenic woods and streams, fly fishing demonstrations, casting lessons and the planting of native saplings are planned. Riverside Preserve will be open to the public from dawn until dusk on Saturdays and Sundays, with free admission. Only permitted access will be available at the preserve Monday through Friday. Permits will be available at all Fauquier County Parks and Recreation locations, or online at www.fauquiercounty. Permit fees for weekdays will be $50 for six months (from April 1 to Sept. 30), or $75 for a year pass (from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31). State fishing licenses are required for those ages 16 and older who are fishing at the park. Licenses can be purchased online at www.dgif.virginia.gov/licenses. According to a Department of Community Development staff report, the park is defined “as a specialty park allowing river access, outdoor recreation and educational uses available to the public at a regional community scale.” A natural facility for both education and recreation, wildlife at the preserve includes birds, snakes, deer, and bears. The park will be the first in the county to have a bear-resistant trash can. There is an existing Virginia Outdoors Foundation conservation easement on the property. Riverside Preserve will continue to maintain and protect nearly 200 acres of riverfront land and natural riparian buffer. There are specific guidelines that Fauquier County will adhere to under

In addition, there will be an educational campaign to inform the public how to respect and take care of the park. “Access to the river has been a dream for those in the county. The site itself is so beautiful, with the river, woods, open fields, diversity of plants and wildlife,” explained Miller. He said there has been excellent support from the community for the Riverside Preserve, especially from the board B:9.3” of supervisors and Fauquier County Community Development, FauquierT:9.3”County John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District, Friends of S:9.3”
the Rappahannock, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Piedmont Environmental Council and Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Public access to the water — to navigate the waterways by kayaks and canoes — is currently under review. According to Bryan Hofmann, programs manager of the Friends of the Rappahannock, Riverside Preserve’s frontage along the river is about eight-tenths of a mile. “This is the first piece in a planned upper Rappahannock River Trail,” Hofmann said. Water trail maps will be updated as progress is made. Friends of the Rappahannock environmental educator Celeste Wilson remarked, “this is a great place for the public to react with the river. When people come to know a resource, they will take care of it.” Michael Trop is the educational coordinator with the John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District. He provides educational programs for youth and adults and also monitors the district’s water quality program. On April 1 he led a session for students about macroinvertebrates (organisms that lack a spine and are large enough to be seen with the naked eye — for instance: flatworms, crayfish, snails, clams and some insects). Students acquired different samples from the property and then identified each one. “Today was really good for the students and they did a great job planting trees and learning about nature,” said Trop. Susan Hilleary, agriculture teacher at Fauquier High, agreed, noting it is “wonderful to be here and bring kids back to nature.” Debra Smyers appreciates the natural resources in Fauquier County. She works in the field of arts management and teaches at George Mason University. Reach her at debra@artsconsultinginternational.com or 800-754-4507.

The new gazebo next to the Remington Town Hall is waiting for landscaping and lighting to be installed. TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ JAMES IVANCIC
Remington town park gazebo already drawing interest The community park next to the new Remington town hall is taking shape. Grass has been seeded, a winding cement sidewalk is in place and a gazebo became the centerpiece of the park last week. The covered gazebo with bench seating inside arrived on Wednesday, April 3. Still to come are tree and flower plantings, fencing, benches and lighting. The Remington Town Council on Monday night discussed the need to set a policy to reserve use of the gazebo and park. “People are already asking to schedule the gazebo’s use,” said Kim Henry, town clerk and treasurer. “It was installed just a couple days ago.” She said there’s been interest in holding a bluegrass concert there. A
’60s band also wants to perform. “They can’t use public property and then charge” people to come, said council member Susan Tiffany, who wondered if these would be free or paid admission events. Mayor Gerald Billingsley said those inquiring about reserving the park should be told for the time being that it isn’t ready for use. Town Administrator Sharon Lee said a policy should be developed. The policy should also address holding other events in other places in town, she suggested. The park is located next to the new town hall at 103 E. Main St. The town received a $24,893 Make It Happen grant from the PATH Foundation to create the park. — By James Ivancic

Long-awaited Marshall streetscape project could start this fall By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Marshall streetscape project could be underway this fall. A fundraising effort has raised $610,000 of the needed $1.2 million to put utility lines underground in the project’s one-block area. The PATH Foundation came through with $385,000 for the undergrounding of utilities. That donation, plus other funds raised — and $300,000 from the county and $300,000 approved by the Commonwealth Transportation Board — makes up the $1.2 million needed. The total cost of the project is estimated at $6.2 million. The Federal Highway Administration provided an 80 percent grant that required a 20 percent local match. The county “forward-funded” the required match with the expectation of being repaid through levy funds and proffer funding. The project calls for sidewalk improvements, new crosswalks, signage, tree plantings, street lights and parking lines on Main Street, from the intersection of Rectortown/Winchester Road to Frost Street. The additional funds to put the utility lines underground couldn’t be obtained because of a state restriction that bars funds for such use. The Virginia Department of Transportation gave the county more time to try to come up with the money and that’s when the fundraising effort got underway in late 2018. County supervisors this Thursday will vote on awarding a construction engineering and inspection services contract to Whitman, Requardt and Associates of Baltimore.
Funding from the county
The supervisors will take a separate vote on transferring $300,000 from the county’s capital
A vote taken by the Marshall Residents and Business Association last September showed that a majority who cast ballots didn’t support the project in its current form. Among the reasons: • A project envisioned to extend the length of Main Street has shrunk to one block. • Main Street will be narrowed in the improved block to accommodate a wider sidewalk. • The project design was deemed too expensive, complex and high-maintenance. • The 20 percent local contribution represents a burdensome local match paid for through a local levy. • Lack of promised undergrounding (since reTIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC 2014-2015 Marking Period 4 ~ part Allof“A” Honor Roll turned as the project).

Your trusted source for local news Fauquier Times wins press association sweepstakes
When residents in Catlett hear police sirens screaming past their homes on a Sunday night, their first reaction may be to open the Fauquier Times on their phones to see what’s up. This is extraordinary. A decade ago, residents would patiently wait five to six days to learn the same information. As the news cycle — even here in Fauquier County — has accelerated, so have expectations. Local news in our little corner of the world has largely kept up. At the Virginia Press Association last weekend, the Fauquier Times earned the title of best medium-circulation weekly newspaper. It placed first for news and for advertising, and won the grand sweepstakes in its circulation category. You will recognize the names of many of the individual category winners — Peter Brewington and Jeff Malmgren (our “sports guys”), Betsy Burke Parker (equestrian writer), Anita Sherman (community editor), schools and health reporter Karen Chaffraix and feature writers Len Shapiro and John Hagarty. You know them because you see them in your community, talking to newsmakers, taking photos, reporting faithfully. Many communities around the country are not as fortunate. As newsrooms shrink and technology advances, newspapers and online news organizations are shuttering. A study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reports that the country has lost nearly 1,800 local newspapers since 2004. Rural counties with poorer, older populations are most at risk — 500 rural papers have closed since 2004. People in these communities are missing the information they need to make decisions in their everyday lives — where to buy a house, how to navigate road construction on the way to work and where their politicians stand on the issues that affect their daily lives. In the midst of these “news deserts,” Fauquier represents an oasis. This is especially important because local news is consistently the most trusted information out there. Poynter reported in August of 2018 that 73 percent of Americans have confidence in local newspapers. That contrasts with 55 percent trust in national network news, 59 percent in national newspapers and 47 percent in online-only news outlets. It’s understandable. When a news story breaks, local reporters can be on the scene in a few minutes. They know the firefighters, the board of supervisors chairman, the teachers and businessowners that are at the heart of the news. And if we get the story wrong, our readers know how to find us to set us straight. They can share their opinions in our letters to the editor and we report their protests from public hearings. We allow their voices to be heard. Bottom line: When the sirens sound, we’ll be there to tell you what’s up.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In need of a new ambulance in early 1970, the Marshall Volunteer Rescue Squad saved $4,000 by purchasing a new Chevrolet CarryAll from Herndon Chevrolet in Warrenton and converting it themselves, exceeding state requirements. Squad Captain Peter Van Deman is shown with the new vehicle. 75 Years Ago April 13, 1944 Four sons of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Mills of Remington are all in the Army. Pvt. Clayton T. Mills is in Italy doing construction work with the Air Corps Ground Force, while Cpl. Irvin F. Mills, one of the first men drafted from Fauquier County, is stationed in Seattle, Wash. Cpl. Wilbur H. Mills is taking amphibious training at Camp San Luis Obispo, Calif., and Pvt. V. Doland Mills has recently completed medical training school at Camp Hulen, Texas. With 50 children already under care, the Department of Public Welfare is finding difficulty in obtaining either boarding homes or free foster homes for these youngsters. The difficulty will be intensified in June, when The Children’s Home in The Plains, which provided temporary refuge for many homeless children, will be closed, and homes must be found for the 11 children now cared for there. 50 Years Ago April 10, 1969 Redistricting of Fauquier County has been ordered by Judge Rayner V. Snead in conformance with the recommendation of a specially appointed redistricting commission. Headed by attorney E. L. Bain Jr., the commission is under task to alter the magisterial district lines at the order of Judge Snead after a group of citizens petitioned for the change because of inequities in dis-
trict populations. The Virginia House of Delegates voted last week to recommend constitutional changes that would permit “relief from or deferral of” local taxes on land devoted to “agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses.” Del. Tom Frost, of Warrenton, said he was pleased with the 62-to-36 vote in favor of the recommendation. 25 Years Ago April 13, 1994 Vint Hill Farms Station bid farewell on Friday to its last remaining battalion, another step along the path to shutdown for the base scheduled to close in September 1997. The 201st Military Intelligence Battalion is moving to Fort Gordon, Ga., as part of a consolidation of several related battalions in the Army’s 513th Brigade. The Fauquier Community Theatre will break new ground when it will present a staged reading of an original work created by county resident and FCT member Peter Fakoury. The Chronicle of the Horse magazine and the National Sporting Library are set to move into expanded buildings on the grounds of the Vine Hill property in Middleburg. Application for a zoning amendment has been made for construction of a new 5,000-square foot office building and 6,000-square foot library building. — Compiled by John T. Toler

Finding a balanced middle ground in an era of extremes I wanted to share with you a recent discovery of mine regarding my political leanings. I was surprised to learn that in an online biographical reference I was listed as a registered Democrat. Now, it’s true that I have disdain for ultra-right leaning conservatives who wrap themselves in the flag with little regard for due process or the rule of law. But, conversely, I am also troubled by ultra-left leaning liberals who would lead us down the path to socialistic progressivism. So where does that leave me … or for that matter the majority of my fellow Americans who do not appreciate the wingnuts of either persuasion? How about … squarely in the middle. I remember hearing that when given two extremes, the truth usually lies somewhere in between. Sometimes it is hard to discern that “sweet spot” when all we hear are the fanatical ravings of tribes of liberals and conservatives with their respective medicine men/ women.
They hyperventilate and sound their respective alarms of the impending dangers of extreme progressivism and goose-stepping nationalism. Now, I do not mean to make light of the perils of either and fully realize that there is risk in charting our future national course. But, enough is enough. We cannot allow the wing-nuts of hyper partisanship to demonize the other side and prevent us from addressing urgent national issues. There is simply too much that must be done. So, what to do? We cannot believe a president who places no value on truth or common decency. Nor can we trust the majority in congress to do the right thing. They are too busy with preserving their own individual welfare to worry about our collective national interests. And lastly, we cannot be dependent upon receiving nonbiased news from political provocateurs who have come to the realization that there are rat-
ings, power and personal wealth to be amassed. Instead, we must bring to the forefront one of America’s strongest character traits, self-reliance … especially as it relates to the elections ahead. We must seek those who would chart a middle course and bring us together again. Now, every child knows that a fairy tale always begins with, “Once upon a time …” And every adult knows that a political fairy tale is similar. It begins with, “Once elected, I promise to …” That being said, the onus still falls directly upon us to choose wisely. We must listen attentively and respectively to our political leaders. We must note how they address the major issues that face us and how they plan to confront them. We must be able to discern the difference between a pie in the sky promise and a realistic plan that is attainable. And, ultimately, we must rely upon our common sense and judgement to
determine a candidate’s personal veracity, strength of character and willingness to work with others. And so, to the people on the far left and the far right I say, “Take a rest …stop being played … and just listen for a change.” If you really believe and trust in American values, you know that it is wrong to forcibly impose your beliefs upon others. You know that our society is based upon diversity and balance that allows for all voices to be heard. We are a collective society that cherishes individual rights. And, in this instance, we accomplish both by being responsive to our collective national interests while ensuring the individual liberties of all. Oh, by the way I’m a progressive conservative. Don Bachmann Marshall
There’s a good reason supervisors are not being challenged As the 2019 local government elections grow closer, I am moved to say that I want more of a good thing. In my judgment, all five of our sitting supervisors collectively constitute the finest board Fauquier voters have elected in decades and richly deserve re-election. Here’s why. In every Virginia locality, development decisions are the intersection of two P’s — policy and politics. In many jurisdictions, the policy dog wags the political tail. In others, the political tail wags the policy dog. The resulting outcomes are dramatically different. In Fauquier, for roughly the past 50 years, a public policy consensus in favor of controlled residential growth, moderate tax rates and a largely rural agricultural economy has driven local politics in a fairly consistent direction. In some neighboring counties, however, wild swings in political views of residential development have resulted in equally radical changes in public policy, with chaotic conse-
quences. Fauquier’s good fortune is entirely due to the policy and political fallout from the North Wales crisis of the late 1960s. A proposed 10,000-house project there would have nearly doubled the county’s 27,000-person population, with breathtaking implications for Fauquier’s public schools, tax rates and bucolic character. Fauquier’s voters essentially decided then that they wanted the county to look much as it did 150 years ago. The legacy of that decision is now clear: In 1970, it was projected that Fauquier’s population would grow to 230,000 by the year 2000. Thanks to the conf luence of the county’s policy and political mainstreams, Fauquier is now home to less than one-third that number of people. Over the past four years, our incumbent supervisors have managed to mate ongoing respect for Fauquier’s historic tradition with accelerating recognition of the impact of rapid socioeconomic change on the responsi-
Speeding drivers could be source of revenue I have been reading about how the different departments in our county need a certain amount of money, but the budget doesn’t match. I think the county could get more than enough money for all departments if they would sit along U.S. 17 every Saturday and Sunday and start issuing speeding tickets. I live in this county and when I drive home from work on Saturday afternoon the out-of-staters that travel this road (and some Virginians) drive as if this is the raceway. I do not see any police patrolling the roads, so everyone speeds. When I say speed, I mean over 70 mph.
This is crazy. This is our town, our county, and they disrespect it by driving like it’s the race track. Now this is only my opinion but if they tried it just once they may find that I could be on to something. The warm weather is coming and it’s only going to get worse. Please try and see if this wouldn’t help bring revenue to our county and make our roads safer. That’s all I’m asking.

bilities of local government. In this vein, the board last year turned down a massive residential project in Vint Hill while quickly approving applications for internet-driven data center construction in both Vint Hill and Remington. Similarly, the board put in motion the fiscal and regulatory machinery needed to bring high-speed broadband service to all Fauquier residents without committing to taxpayer funding of a single technology in a speedily evolving infrastructure environment, acknowledging the importance of electronic communication to the county’s future. Unsurprisingly, none of the incumbent supervisors faces a primary challenger, and none is expected to have general election opposition, further testaments to their wellearned popular support.

The price of freedom How wonderful that the Town of Remington remembered the Vietnam veterans with a celebration on March 30. My husband, Art, served in the U.S. Navy as an aviator and had two combat tours f lying from aircraft carriers off the coast of Vietnam. We need to remember those who did not come home. Thank you, Marie Frangipane, for putting in a good word for President [Donald] Trump and our American f lag. Let’s all celebrate and be thankful for the freedoms we enjoy! I suggest a “toast” to all the men and women in all the armed services and their families who presently serve to keep our country free! God bless the U.S.A. Kathy Cebrowski Warrenton

Local Republican Committee calls on voters to reject Democrats’ hypocrisy The following letter is a resolution that was recently adopted by the Fauquier County Republican Committee. The Fauquier County Republican Committee (FCRC) is unified with our Virginia Congressional GOP Delegation in standing against the abhorrent bill (http:// lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604. exe?191+ful+HB2491) introduced in the Virginia House that would strip regulations on third-trimester abortions and would expand access to abortions up until birth, to include allowing, as so casually and chillingly stated by our governor, a pediatrician no less, the keeping of a delivered infant comfortable while its fate is debated. This is nothing less than infanticide and 44 Democrat U.S. Senators just voted to block a bill that would “punish any doctor who fails to provide medical care to a child born alive after an attempted abortion” (S.130 - Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act). The idea that this bill stood in the way of a woman and her doctor regarding her health is blatantly false. A baby that is born is, by definition, separate from the mother. To deny care to the most vulnerable among us is criminal. We agree with President Donald Trump who wrote, “This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress.” On the heels of stating his support for this barbarism, a photo of the governor posing in blackface with someone outfitted as a Klansman emerged. As racist and lacking in judgment as participating in that 35-year-old photo was, the governor’s initial apology appeared heartfelt and remorseful — until he felt compelled to backpedal the very next day and to question whether it was even him in the photo. This effectively undid his remorse from the previous day. The governor wants forgiveness, yet he was very willing to endorse a horrendous, racially charged political ad painting his opponent, Ed Gillespie, as a vile racist (https://www.realclearpolitics. com/video/2017/10/30/latino_victo-
ry_fund_ad_depicts_ed_gillespie_ supporter_terrorizing_minority_ch ildren.html). It is his retreat from remorse and his willingness to paint others as racist for personal political gain that cause us the most concern. And then, the Attorney General, Mark Herring, who called for Northam to resign, revealed his own blackface past. And if that was not enough, our lieutenant governor, Justin Fairfax, was then accused of sexual abuse by two women. As serious as these allegations are, the FCRC wants to go on record as stating that there should be no rush to judgment until the facts are credibly investigated — a position the media and most Democrats refused to give Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Whereas we abhor racism in any form, we firmly believe that a person’s character should be judged through relatively recent behavior. Why? Because people can and do change over their life spans and redemption does happen. The initial media and Democrat outrage over these revelations has now faded. In fact, outrage over Gov. Northam’s photo faded quickly as the deeds, real and alleged, of the remaining leaders in line for succession, could have led to a scenario placing a Republican in the governor’s seat. Honest people will admit that if these leaders in our commonwealth were Republicans, the drumbeat for resignations would still be relentless. While our committee concludes that, based on his actions and support for infanticide, Gov. Northam has lost the moral authority necessary to govern, we do not call outright for his resignation. Rather, we call on the good citizens of Fauquier County as they go to the ballot box in future elections to remember Democrat support for infanticide, and the gross hypocrisy and disparity in Democrat tolerance for bad behavior on the part of their own.

Lord Fairfax Community College
LFCC Was a Great Fit For Crossfit Vint Hill Owner By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College
Spending the first two years of college at LFCC is good for your financial fitness, according to alumnus Rob Jenkins, owner of CrossFit Vint Hill. While he was still at Liberty High School, Jenkins came to the Warrenton Campus for his dualenrollment classes. After graduating from high school, he continued his education at
Lord Fairfax, graduating in 2004. From there, Jenkins transferred to George Mason University where he attained a bachelor’s degree in exercise science. Then, he and his wife started a home-based personal training business. In 2011, the couple started doing CrossFit, and spent several years searching for the right location to open their own gym. Jenkins describes

CrossFit as a fitness protocol that can be scaled to anyone’s fitness or ability level. “Everything we do is functional in regards to movement, and precisely how the human body was built to move,” he says. “Free weights, core strength, balance, agility, speed, accuracy, overall strength and full-body conditioning all promote fat loss, while also building the strength needed to tackle any task, inside or outside of the gym.” Having always wanted to start his own business in Fauquier County, Jenkins seized the opportunity when 7,400-square-feet of warehouse space became available in Vint Hill. CrossFit Vint Hill opened at 7142 Farm Station Road, in October 2017, and it has grown to include about 125 clients who take advantage of the group training, one-onone coaching, kids fitness, boot camp, nutrition plan services and more. Jenkins first embarked on his fitness journey in high school. “I was super-overweight – 335 pounds,” he says. “The

strength coach at school was a big influence. He helped me get on a fitness track, and I dropped to 205 pounds while still in high school. I knew then that I wanted to do for others what he had done for me.” But, Jenkins wasn’t sure what that path would be like right out of high school. “Community college was my first go-to school,” he says. “It was cheaper than a four-year university and close to home. And my sister was a Lord Fairfax graduate. I liked the idea of being able to transfer to a four-year university.” Plus, Jenkins was working full-time, and was able to work his schedule around his job. He loved all of his time at LFCC, including while a dual-enrollment student. “I enjoyed having that college freedom feeling while still in high school,” Jenkins says. He would recommend
that others consider making Lord Fairfax their first choice, too. “I think for both kids and parents it’s smarter to go to community college first – figure out what you want do with your life,” Jenkins says. “You can do your first couple of years and save yourself and your family some money, all while getting a great education along the way.”

Fostering a tasty meal A fresh makeover for Foster’s Grille to celebrate 20 years By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
There’s a whole lot of new happening at Foster’s Grille in Warrenton. Fortunately, it won’t include tinkering with its popular menu. It’s hard to amplify a winner. That’s especially true considering several hundred thousand burgers have been enjoyed by customers since the restaurant opened 20 years ago. But after April 5, customers walking through the doors of the town’s burger icon, located on Broadview Avenue near the Route 211 intersection, will be treated to entirely new décor. After two decades of serving lunch and dinners to the hungry of Fauquier County and beyond, the restaurant has whole a new look. “We had a need to refresh. We’ve done a complete gutting of the entire restaurant, so everything visible to the public has been changed. New walls, floors, order bar and restrooms. New signage will be on the outside of the building by midApril,” said Mike Cerny, president of Foster’s. The building was built 60 years ago and was originally a Howard Johnson’s. That chain was established in 1954 and at its height in the 1970s had more than 1,000 company-owned and franchise outlets in the nation. Fosters is located on hallowed ground. Cerny has guided the success of the company for the last 16 of its 20 years from his offices in Haymarket. Today there are 12 restaurants
Foster’s Grille president Mike Cerny is excited to re-introduce the restaurant with its new look. But, no worries, the great menu remains.
PHOTOS BY JOHN HAGARTY
“Home of the Charburger” on Broadview Avenue re-opened Friday, April 5, sporting a fresh remodel. New signage at Foster’s Grille will be in place later in April. scattered across Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and one in Florida, which is good to know if you need a “Foster’s fix” while on vacation. Seven of the eateries are corporate-owned and five owned by franchisees. Cerny has been in the food distribution and hotel business in the mid-Atlantic region for more than three decades. The Warrenton restaurant was the first to be established. Customers dining there are breaking bread where its success began. The purpose of the interior sprucing-up was to create a “very comfortable ambiance for family and friends,” explained Cerny. Included in the renovation is a private dining room with an 80-inch television screen that can be reserved for business or family functions. Guests can order food and then relax in the privacy of their own dining area. The restaurant seats 110 inside with a front patio that has seating for 40; it is the largest outside dining area of all its restaurants.
Cerny underscores, “Everything is fresh and made to order. There are no microwaves and no heat lamps. Nothing is pre-cooked. We do not start preparing the order until it is placed by the customer. “It’s not a fast food restaurant. It might take a few minutes longer to reach your table, but you’ll get a freshly cooked meal.” When guests enter the restaurant, they place their order at the counter, secure drinks and take their seats. The food arrives at their table straight from the kitchen, within 12 minutes or less. If time is of the essence, customers can download Foster’s smartphone app and order online. “It’s a great feature for families at ball games or soccer practice. They can order their dinner as they leave the park and we’ll have it ready when they arrive,” he said. “It’s available at all our restaurants.” Foster’s can also cater family or business events.
The menu
Over the years Foster’s has provided Fauquier County with more than good food. Cerny is a strong believer in contributing to the community. “We do a lot of sponsorships and support school teams in a variety of ways,” he said. “We’ve also been involved in Dining for Dollars fundraisers for worthy causes.” When customers attend a Dining for Dollars event and mention or present a fundraiser flyer, up to 25 percent of the dine-in or carry-out net sales check is donated back to the participating nonprofit organization. Cerny is also proud of the support his company gives local contractors. The extensive renovations made to the restaurant have been completely
To scan the menu at Foster’s is to understand why its lineup was left untouched. From its ever-popular charburger to veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches, all-beef hot dogs, fish and chips, turkey burgers, chicken wings, fries, onion rings and salads, the menu has depth. Deciding what to order will be the biggest in-house challenge. In addition to assorted fountain drinks, another house specialty is hand-scooped milkshakes. “We hand scoop and blend the shakes ourselves,” said Cerny. In a nod to Virginia’s artisan libation industry, local craft beer and wines are available.

done by Warrenton-based firms. “My architect, electrician, plumber, security company and signage company are all local businesses. I don’t know how many people can say that. And all of the work has been done on schedule too.” If all this sounds like a successful, well-run company, it explains the franchise side of the business. “If anyone is interested in belonging to a successful restaurant business, we are the one to see. We are looking to grow our franchisees.” He also urges those who may not have been to the restaurant lately to come back. “It’s the same great food but with a totally different look. Our regular customers are going to be in for a special treat. It is far and away a beautiful new restaurant.” To flip through Foster’s Grille’s digital menu, visit www.fostersgrille.com/store/warrenton.

What can you do with your tax refund? We’re getting close to the tax-filing deadline. For many of us, this means it’s that time of year when we get our biggest financial windfall – a tax refund. If you have recently received a refund, or are expecting to get one in the next few weeks, what should you do with it? Of course, you could just spend the money on something you want, but if you’d like to maximize the financial benefits from your refund, you might want to consider other options, including the following: Invest the money. In 2018, the average tax refund was about $2,700. For this year, it might be somewhat lower, due to changes in the tax laws and the failure of taxpayers to adjust their withholdings in response. However, if you were to receive in the neighborhood of $2,700, you’d be almost halfway to the annual IRA contribution limit, which, in 2019, is $6,000. (If you’re 50 or older, you can put in up to $7,000). If you have already “maxed out” on your IRA, you could use your refund to fill in gaps you may have in other parts of your investment portfolio. Pay insurance premiums. Let’s face it – nobody really likes paying insurance premiums. Yet, if you have anyone depending on you, you will
certainly need life insurance, and possibly disability insurance as well. And if you want to help protect your financial resources later in life from threats such as an extended – and hugely expensive – stay in a nursing home, you also may want to consider long-term care insurance. Your tax refund could help pay for some of these premiums, boosting your cash flow during the months you would normally be making these payments. Contribute to a college fund. It’s never too soon to begin saving for college, which has grown increasingly expensive over the last several years. So, if you have young children, you may want to think about investing some or all of your refund into a college-savings account, such as a tax-advantaged 529 plan. Pay off debts. You might be able to use your refund to pay down some debts – or perhaps even pay off some of your smaller ones. The lower your monthly debt load, the more money you will have available to invest for the future. Keep in mind, though, that you might not want to look at all debts in the same way. For example, putting extra money toward your mortgage might help you pay it off faster, but you’ll also be funding an asset – namely, your house – that

FINANCIAL PLANNING
SARAH ATKINS might not provide you with the same liquidity as you can get from investments such as stocks and bonds. Help build an emergency fund. By building an emergency fund containing six to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, you can help yourself avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for large, unplanned-for bills, such as a major car repair or an expensive dental procedure. Your tax refund could help build such a fund, with the money ideally being placed in low-risk, liquid vehicles. Clearly, you can help yourself make progress toward a number of your financial goals with your tax refund – so put it to good use.

Lacey’s late goal gives Eagles win By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Winning behind the 8th ball Hatcher’s single in extra innings helps Liberty beat Kettle Run By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Liberty’s softball game Monday against Kettle Run was a prime example of why coaches say “Never give up.” The Eagles trailed by eight runs entering the bottom of the sixth inning, but they rallied to force extra innings en route to an 11-10 victory at home in Bealeton. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Liberty’s Taylor Smith reached base on a one-out error to bring Morgan Hatcher to the plate. Hatcher worked the count to 3-2 against pitcher Ashley Hume before lifting a foul pop up in front of the Kettle Run dugout. The Cougars’ first baseman and catcher collided, so the ball dropped harmlessly to the ground. Hatcher took advantage of the second life by rifling a single into left field. Smith headed to second and, when the ball got by the left fielder, she sprinted all the way home for the winning run. Eagles head coach Chris Leatherman appreciated their never-say-die attitude throughout the game. “That’s what we kept pitching to the kids throughout the game,” said Leatherman, whose team has started slow in other games recently. “I know we have too good of hitters to keep them down for the whole game.” So the Eagles elevated their record to 5-4 with a 3-2 mark in the Class 4 Northwestern District, while Kettle Run fell to 7-2 and 2-2. Both teams finished with 13 hits, including six extra-base swings for the Cougars and four for Liberty, which scored four runs in the first inning and four in the fourth for an

8-0 lead. Kettle Run pitcher Chelsea Dodson limited the Eagles to only three hits through five innings, but then they exploded for 10 runs on nine hits in the sixth for a 10-8 lead. Hatcher singled to open the sixth inning, followed by a Hope Mullins RBI-double, Katelynn Lewis single and Alex Phillips one-out walk to load the bases. Keely Crane then stroked a two-run single and Jada Leatherman laid down a bunt single to reload the sacks. Anna Marie Hockman followed with a two-RBI double to right-center field, and a walk to Smith loaded the bases again. After a strikeout, Mullins delivered her second two-run double of the inning to tie the score 8-8. Then a Lewis single sent Mullins to third, and she scored on an error for a one-run lead before Kaleigh Phelps launched a double to right center to score Lewis. “We knew they were a good team and could come back,” disappointed Kettle Run coach Tori Hill said. “They started hitting the ball and we made some mistakes.” Kettle Run recovered to tie the game in the top of the seventh when Jeanelle Johnson crushed a two-run home run over the center field fence,
her third homer of the game. She earlier hit a first-inning solo shot and a two-run blast in the fourth. “Hats off to Kettle Run. They took it to us at first,” Leatherman said. “It just took us a little bit longer to get going. At the end, our bats woke up.” “I think we learned the hard way tonight,” Hill said. Kettle Run opened the game strongly as Hume and Abby Boldt each drew one-out walks. Then Emory Shorts hit a hard ground ball down the left-field line to score Hume. The outfielder misplayed the ball for a two-base error, allowing Boldt to score and sending Shorts to third. Liberty attempted to catch Shorts at third, but the throw rolled all the way to the backstop, allowing her to score before Johnson’s first home run. In the fourth inning, walks to Dodson and Boldt, and a Hume single, loaded the bases. But Dodson later broke for home and was easily caught off third base for one of four Liberty double plays. Shorts then lifted a long fly ball just inside the right-field line for a triple before Johnson’s second homer.
Seniors Kaila Lacey and Jada Milton scored three goals each Thursday to lead Liberty to an 11-10 girls lacrosse win on the road against Fauquier. Lacey’s most important goal came with only 26 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the score tied 10-10. She finished on an assist from Gretchen Thomas and Liberty then controlled the ensuing draw to seal the victory. “We had to get the final draw and didn’t,” said Falcons coach Ken McInnis, whose record fell to 1-2 while the Eagles improved to 6-1. “We actually got control of the ball with about 10 seconds left and dropped it.” So Liberty regained possession and ran off the final few seconds to improve its Class 4 Region B record to 4-0 while dropping Fauquier to 0-2. “They played very well against a solid team,” coach Amy Lacey said of her Eagles, who have a four-game winning streak. “They are all really smart players and work together so well.” The Eagles jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead as Fauquier needed more than seven minutes to tally its first goal. Liberty then held a 6-2 advantage until the Falcons narrowed the gap to 6-5 by halftime on three consecutive goals. Payton O’Hara struck twice, sandwiched around an Abby McCusker score. “We started like we usually do,” McInnis said. “Let them get ahead a few goals.” He was disappointed with his squad’s execution on fundamental passing and catching at the outset. He also said his team out-shot Liberty in the game, but many of those shots were well off the mark.

Fauquier again holds Liberty to 2 goals By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
Not much changed in the 21 days since they last met. The Fauquier Falcons again beat Liberty’s boys lacrosse team 12-2 Thursday with a dominant defensive effort on the road in Bealeton after a similar performance March 14 gave them a 13-2 win over the Eagles at home. So Fauquier emerged Thursday with a 3-2 record, including a 2-0 mark in Class 4 Region B play, while the Eagles fell to 2-5 and 1-3 because they had little space to operate on the offensive side of the field. “It’s outstanding the way our defense can hold a team like that, especially a rival,” Fauquier’s Ryan Kavounis said. “We got the bragging rights today, but we have a lot to learn moving forward.” Liberty created only 16 shots in the game and Falcons goalie Garrett Henderson turned away nearly every shot on goal. “Defense has really been the anchor of the team so far,” Fauquier head coach J.B. Tippett said. “They have really worked hard, and it is a lot of our older guys playing defense.” Eagles coach Mike Gesiotto de-

Early in the second period, Gilliam used a nifty swim move to open up a shot and score in the low corner of the net. “Getting those early goals is definitely something you want to do,” Tippett said. For the Eagles, goalie Michael Gesiotto had eight saves, while Colin Cooper and Keegan Shipe scored their goals. Late in the second quarter, Liberty capitalized on a man advantage
with the goal by Cooper, a sophomore midfielder, to cut the Eagles’ deficit to 4-1. But Fauquier attackmen Kavounis and Chesley responded with a pair of goals during the final two minutes of the first half. A chippy fourth quarter saw a number of penalties between the two familiar foes, but the Falcons only allowed one goal in the second half, a man-advantage score by Shipe. “We are all friends with those guys, so there is always some banter,” Kavounis said, “but we were able to stay together as a team.”

clined to comment. Offensively for the Falcons, Chris Chesley had four goals and two assists. “This was probably my best game of the season so far,” he said. “I feel like I performed really well.” Tippett agreed. “I was really impressed with Chris,” he said. “He played fantastic today. We played very well offensively.” Kavounis had two goals and two assists, while Shane O’Hara had two assists and a goal. Tyler Cadle added the first goal of his high school career, while Jack Gilliam, Nolan McEachin and Rielan Pura each scored his first goal of the season. Nathan Robey also produced one. “We have had a couple of games where we did not put our best foot forward,” Tippett said, “but we came out tonight and I was really happy with how we played.” The Falcons took control early with a goal from O’Hara, a sophomore midfielder, in the first five minutes, and Kavounis added a goal in the waning minutes of the first quarter for a 2-0 lead. “Coming into a rivalry game I think that setting the tempo and the standard early on is really import-

With 21 hits last week, Fauquier scored 20 runs for a pair of softball wins. The Falcons elevated their record to 7-1 Thursday with a 10-9 road win against Dominion after boosting their Class 4 Northwestern District record to 2-1 April 3 with a 10-0 five-inning mercy rule win at home over the Millbrook Pioneers. Against the Titans, the Falcons built a 10-4 advantage before Dominion made a late push that included a sixth-inning grand slam to narrow its deficit to one run. Lauren Davis’ two singles led Fauquier’s 10-hit effort, with Callaway Lee stroking a double. Meredith Wayland, Payton Swart, Emma Carter, Renzi, Emily Turner, Meghan Harrington and Helena Lovell each singled. Against Millbrook, the Falcons collected 11 base hits, including six doubles, while Harrington recorded 10 strikeouts as Fauquier’s pitcher, allowing a first-inning double before stymieing the Pioneers’ bats. “The girls looked great,” head coach Erika Lamper said. “They made good contact.” The Falcons tallied single runs in the first and second innings before adding two in the third. Then they scored three each in the fourth and fifth frames. Zoe Ott had a 3-for-3

Turner and Davis each recorded a pair of doubles, while Lee and Harrington had one apiece. Ashley Renzi and Lovell both hit singles. So Fauquier is tied for second in the district standings with James Wood (2-1) ahead of Liberty (3-2) and Kettle Run (2-2), but trailing Sherando (5-0). The Warriors beat the Falcons 8-4 earlier this season, but Lamper feels her team is better prepared to handle its remaining games. “That was one of our earlier games,” she said of the loss. “I think we have grown a lot since then. … We’ve have had more games and are feeling more comfortable now.”

Football dreams open door to other opportunities Atwell signs with Virginia Tech in track By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Patrick Atwell grew up dreaming of being a Virginia Tech athlete. By signing a national letter of intent with the Hokies’ track team Friday, he achieved that goal, just not exactly as he envisioned when he was 5 years old. “When I was little, I wanted to go to Tech and play football,” Atwell, a senior, said Friday, recalling the Michael Vick era at Tech that made him want to be collegiate wide receiver. While Atwell won’t play football in college, the sport did introduce him to Fauquier’s track program as a freshman. He joined the team in the spring four years ago, seeking to improve is speed for football. His interest in football began to wane the following year, yet he kept his eyes on Virginia Tech with track as a possible avenue to the college. “As a sophomore, we started setting goals,” Fauquier sprint coach Ian Lansdowne said. “He just started checking them off. “I asked him how good he wanted to be,” Lansdowne said. “He said, ‘I really want to be the best.’”
As a junior, he became the best Class 4 500-meter dash runner in the state. Atwell won that 2018 indoor championship in 1 minute, 5.8 seconds and placed fifth in the 300. So then he reached out to the Virginia Tech track coaches, but the response was tepid. “They didn’t really say anything to me,” he said. “It was ‘You’re not good enough.’” Undeterred, he shifted gears for the outdoor season, again finding himself in the fastest section of two races at state. Atwell finished the 400 in 48.75 seconds, missing the gold medal by a mere .01, and he later placed sixth in the 200. And his senior year has been even more fruitful. He successfully defended his indoor 500 crown at Roanoke College while setting a new state record of 1:04.34 and winning by almost two seconds. He bested the old state mark of 1:05.02 held by former teammate Tyler Benson, now running at George Mason. Atwell’s 500 time also was the second-fastest in the nation last season. So college coaches began calling him, including those at Virginia Tech. He considered joining Penn State, but a visit to Blacksburg made his decision easy.
Cole commits to Mt. St. Mary in rugby By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
COURTESY PHOTOS Fauquier High’s Patrick Atwell (left) and Tyler Cole committed to college teams Friday during a ceremony at the school.
The Hokies’ coach told him, “If you ran a 1:04 at that [Roanoke] track, it’s special. That’s the reason I want you,’” said Atwell, who plans to run the 400 and 1,600 relay at Tech, with a focus on the latter. The coach is “trying to make a 4x400 that can go to nationals and do well,” said Atwell, who will major in the human nutrition, foods and exercise program with a goal of becoming a physical therapist.
Tyler Cole is the type of athlete Mount St. Mary’s rugby coach Jay Myles covets. He made that clear Friday at Fauquier High while attending Cole’s commitment ceremony, during which the senior chose to attend the Emmitsburg, Maryland school. Myles said he looks for more than athletic ability when recruiting. Even more important is being a quality person. “While I was sitting there, I wrote down five things that exemplify my experience with Tyler,” Myles said afterward. He called Cole humble, of high character, family oriented and driven, and said the senior possesses a necessary mindset. “Those are the most powerful characteristics,” Myles said. “We are just incredibly happy to have him. “His first words were ‘How can I get better?’” Myles said. Mount St. Mary’s Men’s Rugby Club was established in 1973. Following a National Championship during 2016 in the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO), The Mount

Kettle Run keeps cruising after losing district Player of the Year By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Goals by Carly Brummett and Alyssa Damato propelled Kettle Run to a 2-0 home victory Thursday over Liberty’s girls soccer team. Brummett opened the scoring in the 24th minute of the first half after being pulled down on the right edge of the 18-yard box, leading to a penalty kick. The senior then booted the ball high into the upper left corner for a 1-0 lead that improved Kettle Run’s record to 5-11 with a 3-1 mark in the Class 4 Northwestern District while dropping the Eagles to 3-2-1 and 3-1-1. The Cougars needed only 61 seconds of second-half play to increase their edge to 2-0. They used a series of short passes to maintain control before a pass found Damato in the middle of the box. “She did a nice quick turn and hit a great shot,” Kettle Run coach Matt Zuras said. “It hit the crossbar, came down and went up and hit the crossbar again. “What was nice about it was we linked together about 10 passes, maybe more,” he said. “It was a nice possession.” Both Zuras and Liberty coach Marc Costanzo felt their respective units had other good scoring chances without finishing. One reason was the defensive play by

Kettle Run entered the season needing to replace much of its starting defensive crew. “That was always going to be a concern for us,” Zuras said. Liberty’s most consistent threats came in the final 10 minutes, as pressure created three corners and several other shots. “They are a good team, aggres-
sive and improved,” Zuras said, also noting Liberty’s speed. “We did a good job of not giving them too many chances behind the defense.” Kettle Run’s mix of a maturing defense and an offensive cadre now has outscored the opposition 31-4 through seven games. “Up top, there are a lot of quick, dangerous players,” Zuras said. Kettle Run is operating without the services of senior Payton Fiel. The 2018 Class 4 Northwestern District co-Player of the Year suffered a knee injury March 19
against Osbourn Park and had season-ending surgery last week. “You don’t replace Payton, but you find ways to plug the holes,” Zuras said. “The other kids have picked up their play.” Liberty and Kettle Run both entered their game coming off good performances. The Cougars clobbered Handley, 7-1, April 2, building a 5-0 halftime lead. Brummett finished with a hat trick, while Cassidy May, Maddie Green, Farrah Sturges and Damato each found the net once. Damato also posted a pair of assists, while Brummett, Christine Babish and Taylor Creeden each contributed one. “We did a great job of combining up top and creating scoring chances,” Zuras said. Kettle Run then pounded visiting Millbrook, 8-0, via mercy rule Friday. Costanzo rated the Eagles’ April 2 tie with defending champion Sherando, 2-2, as “our best game of the season so far. It is taking some time but it finally looked as if things we have been working on in practice are finally starting to click.” Daphne Daymude and Caitlyn Butler accounted for the Liberty scores. Friday’s game with Brentsville was postponed. “Overall we are proud of our significant improvement and growth,” Costanzo said.

Late relay win gives Fauquier’s boys a team title at Handley By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Entering the Handley Invitational’s meet-ending 1,600-meter relay Saturday, the Fauquier boys track team found itself trailing the host school 85-80. So the Falcons needed to outscore the Judges by five points to tie, or at least six to win. Guess what happened? Fauquier finished first in that final event for 10 points, and Handley placed fifth for only four points. So the Falcons also beat the Judges in the team standings, 90-89, to win the boys title. The 1,600 quartet of Nick Matthews, Patrick Atwell, Josh Moylan and John Paccassi finished that relay in a season-best 3 minutes, 28.51 seconds, while the Handley crew finished only .41 out of fourth place, which would have given the
Judges the team victory. Fauquier’s girls also performed well, placing third with 83.5 points behind Woodgrove (95) and Handley (85.5). Head coach Quentin Jones said his coaching staff entered the meet thinking their girls actually had a good chance to finish higher than their boys. “They were doing some big things early on,” Jones said. “Then mid-day Patrick had a big win and Isaiah [Brothers] had a big win” for the boys. Atwell won the 400 in 49.38 and Brothers won the 300 hurdles in 41.91, while Brian Bolles placed third in the penultimate 3,200 at 10:08.07. “Outstanding run,” Jones said. And once field event results began to flood in, the calculations showed Handley led. At least until Fauquier’s 1,600 boys relay team broke the Judges’ hearts.
Earlier, Atwell placed second in the 200 (22.51) and third in the long jump (20-9.75). Matthews was the 1,600 runner-up in 4:33.96, while Moylan, Kyle St. Clair, Austin Fernandez and Brendan Daley were second in the 3,200 relay (8:32.69). Adding third-place finishes were Matthews (800, 2:01.74) and Brothers (triple jump, 41-1.75). For Fauquier’s girls, Kayla Pavlock won the shot put in 37 feet, 4 inches and placed third in the discus with a season-best throw of 117-1. Silver medals went to Sarah Saas (pole vault, 8-0) and Cammi Winston (100 hurdles, 16.66). The girls 1,600 relay team of Shelby Rosenberger, Annie Del Gallo, Ryan McDaniel-Neff and Kelsey Gastley turned in a 4:16.8 effort for third. Other bronze medalists were McDaniel-Neff (400, 1:01.47) and Camryn Bland (100, 13.25).
Highland off to strong start in baseball with No. 3 state ranking in D-II By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Joe DeBardi gave the Highland Hawks a 4-3 walk-off victory Saturday over Fuqua’s baseball team by scoring on an error in the bottom of the seventh inning after hitting a leadoff single at home in Warrenton. So the Hawks’ record improved to 10-3, helping keep them ranked No. 3 in the latest VISAA Division II state poll. Highland briefly trailed 2-0 be-
fore tying the score in the bottom of the third inning and taking a 3-1 lead in the sixth. Faqua tied the score 3-3 in the top of the seventh, but only to set up DeBardi for the walk-off win. Following his single, Blake Fisher drew a walk and Luke Burner hit into a fielder’s choice that moved DeBardi to third base. Blake Cuddington then made contact, enticing an error by Fuqua’s shortstop that allowed DeBardi to score. So Cuddington earned the victory as a Highland pitcher by retiring the only batter he face in relief
of Ed Wagner, who struck out six over 6 2/3 innings. He allowed only three runs on six hits and one walk. Offensively, DeBardi finished with two steals and an RBI on 2-for3 hitting, while Dylan Fisher went 2-for-4 with a run and one of Highland’s seven steals. Previously, April 3, the Hawks began Delaney Athletic Conference play with an 8-1 win over Fredericksburg Christian at home in Warrenton. The Hawks gave up the first run of the game but finished the first inning with a 4-1 lead. Then
they allowed only five base runners over the final six innings. Starting pitcher Blake Fisher earned the win by striking out three while allowing one run on two walks and a hit over five innings, while reliever Adam Dressler pitched the final two scoreless innings, striking out three while allowing two hits and zero walks. Offensively, Eddie Gimbel went 2-for-3 with two triples, two RBIs and two runs on 2-for-3 hitting, while DeBardi went 2-for-3 with two runs, a triple, double and RBI.

Apprentice Bryan Cullinane goes 5-for-5 for huge payday

Bryan Cullinane could barely compute what happened Saturday at Old Dominion. Winning five races in a season would be an apprentice rider’s dream, the Irish-born jockey said. Yet he partnered five winners from five mounts in one day at the April 6 pointto-point, teaming with trainers Jimmy Day and Neil Morris for his record-breaking day. “I can’t believe it,” said the 26-year-old Cullinane, a native of tiny Banteer in County Cork, the same village that produced National Steeplechase Association champion riders Darren Nagle and Willie McCarthy. “They told me there was ‘more opportunity’ for [an apprentice rider] on the U.S. jumps circuit, but I never expected this,” Cullinane said. He worked for National Hunt trainer Michael Winters back home and rode a handful of jump races, but when friend Barry John Foley encouraged Cullinane to try the American ’chasing scene “to get a better shot at rides,” he said he was up for the adventure. He rode out for flat trainer Susan Cooney at Walnut Hall in Boyce last spring, shifting his tack to jump trainer Jimmy Day’s in Millwood as the ‘chase season got underway in March.

Cullinane won with his first U.S. mount – for Day at the Warrenton point-to-point, but this weekend’s Old Dominion was his best day by far, Cullinane said. “If I’d stayed home, I couldn’t have made a living” in racing, Cullinane said. Though he rode over the big Irish ’chase fences back home, Cullinane prefers American hurdle racing than timber. He did win over timber at Howard County last spring, but he knows the timber game is tough. He fell with Billy Meister’s Gas Can Eddie in the Grand National timber stake last April, and came off
the horse at the 12th fence in the Maryland Hunt Cup. “The timber fences, they don’t have any give,” Cullinane said with a wince. “You gotta meet them right.” Cullinane swept the Old Dominion hurdle and turf card, winning the featured open hurdle aboard Cristina Mosby’s Foxhall Drive and the maiden hurdle with Charlie Fenwick’s Apollo Landing. He partnered Day’s own Hyperlapse to win the novice rider turf, and Pathfinder Racing’s Talk Less for trainer Neil Morris in the Virginia-bred turf. Cullinane’s fifth win was a walkover with Shannon Hill Farm’s Macnicholson, something he’s sorry will be an asterisk on the perfect day. “I hate that’s how I get credit for the fifth win,” he said. “But, I guess it’s true, you show up and you face who’s there. No one was there, so we get the win.” Complete results and more photos are online at centralentryoffice.com.
At The Fork CCI****-short at the Tryon, North Carolina International Equestrian Center this weekend, several local riders placed well in the prep event for the upcoming Kentucky four-star. Round Hill-based Mara Depuy finished eighth with Congo Brazzaville, 16 penalties shy of winner Boyd Martin and Tsetserleg with 35. Allison Springer of The Plains was 10th aboard Sapphire Blue B, with neighbor Hannah Sue Burnett 11th with Harbour Pilot. Berryville’s Sharon White was 13th with Cooley On Show, with Jeffersonton-based Chris Talley 20th and 21st on Unmarked Bills and Sandro’s Star. Middleburg’s Lindsay Kelley withdrew Cooley Cruise Control after dressage. The Kentucky event is April 25-28 at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington. More at kentuckythreedayevent.com.

He will play the Number Eight center slot in the 15-man formation, a position that calls for tackling, ball-carrying and support duties. That assignment requires more than physical size and quickness. “He’s the captain of the scrum,” Cole said. “You need to be a bigger guy and have good field vision. … Being aware of where we are.” Cole feels his demeanor and people skills will make him an effective player at the college position. “My ability to stay calm, and I’m a good leader,” he said. “I want to better the team and pursue my love for the sport.” He also plans to major in occupational therapy.
COLE, from Page 21 moved to DI-AA and the Chesapeake Collegiate Rugby Conference that includes Mary Washington, Salisbury, Virginia Tech, James Madison, Maryland, Towson and Georgetown. Cole did not have long-standing desire to play rugby in college because he is a late-comer to the sport after beginning football in fourth grade. Kettle Run graduate Cuyler McCorkindale introduced Cole to rugby while on a ski trip. “Showed me some clips, recruited me,” Cole said. “Ever since then, I fell I love with it.” But his first on-field experience did not happen until last spring with the Prince William County Youth Football Rugby Club.

Liberty’s 6-1 EAGLES, from Page 19 The second half was a seesaw contest. Sarala GraysonFunk tied the score quickly at 6-6, but Liberty responded a minute later when Gretchen Thomas assisted Lacey. The Falcons then took their first lead at 8-7 with just under 17 minutes to play on goals by Zofeya Maldonado and O’Hara. Thomas later notched an unassisted goal for a 10-9 Eagles lead at the 5:07 mark, but McCusker retied the back-and-forth affair
two minutes later. However, that only set up Lacey’s game-winner. Thomas finished with two goals, while Lauren James, Regan Keys and Mallie Lanier scored one apiece. Lacey and Thomas also handed out two assists each with one apiece for Skylar Hadler and Lanier. And Emily Markley recorded a career-high 14 saves in goal. O’Hara and McCusker paced Fauquier with three goals each. Maldonado and Grayson-Funk had one apiece while O’Hara, Grayson-Funk and Zoe Savage each had an assist.

From avant-garde to historic Ultimate overnighter showcases premier Virginia winery and storied hotel By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Vineyards in rural Charles City once before and wanted to share its delights with our friends. Betsy wanted to spend a night at the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. With such attractive options, we sealed the deal and made our hotel reservations. Pull your vehicle in behind us and let’s experience this adventure together.
Anniversaries and birthdays are quintessential times to take the chariot on a quick tour of the Old Dominion. With endless job and family responsibilities, most of us are tied to the whipping post except for annual vacations. Yet a special occasion getaway need not involve an extended trip.

Upper Shirley Vineyards is a great stop on the way to Richmond. wine-producing state in the nation. But it’s tough to locate a winery in the commonwealth that has a restaurant. Much less one offering an exceptional dining experience. The reason? Wineries and restaurants are two completely different businesses. Creating such a twofer takes smarts, skill and the rare trait of embracing risk. The owners of Upper Shirley Vineyards qualify on all three counts. We arrived at the winery around 12:30 p.m. and were promptly seated in the dining room. For guests simply interested in sampling wines, the tasting bar is located at the back of the dining area. The interior of the large winery is beautiful, all-white themed rooms with rich dark wood flooring that coordinates with the tables. Spacious windows look out onto a plantation-style setting of broad lawns. The James River flows past the back of the winery a few hundred yards from its large, covered deck. Our wine order was promptly taken.
A quick perusal of a late winter menu included truffle frites, crispy fried oysters, warm brie, caramelized mushroom flatbread, San Marzanto tomato bisque, house-cured salmon, eastern shore crab bisque and a host of salads with or without protein. Focusing on a bit heavier fare revealed specialties such as chargrilled chicken wraps, high-end burgers, cast iron quiche, southern fried chicken and more. Since a large dinner awaited us that evening, Jean and I selected salads and our companions selected lunch-size portions of fried chicken and shrimp and grits. Susy and Tayloe Dameron are the proprietors. They built the winery in 2013 on their 100-acre property that also showcases their historic private home and equestrian operation. It is located on rural Shirley Plantation Road, or Route 5, between Richmond and Williamsburg. After our order was taken, Tay-

Going ‘on holiday’ can keep the doctor away Taking a vacation is good for your health
Scientific research has discovered what many of us intuitively know – what we really need is some time away from the workplace, wherever in the world we call home. What is it about going “on holiday” that boosts our well-being, relieves stress and helps us live fuller lives? “We are energy machines. We have to replenish the energy we expend,” says Joe Robinson, the Santa Monica, California-based author of Work to Live and a work/life balance and productivity speaker and trainer. “We crave them [vacations] psychologically because our brain neurons want two things more than anything else for long-term fulfillment: novelty and challenge. Vacations provide both in spades.” And studies show they’re good for what (potentially may) ail us. Consider this: the long-running Framingham Heart Study from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Boston University found that men who didn’t take vacation for several years were 30 percent more likely to have heart attacks than those who did. The University of Pitts-
burgh’s Mind-Body Center surveyed nearly 1,400 people and discovered that leisure pursuits – which include vacations – “contributed to higher positive emotional levels and less depression,” not to mention lower blood pressure and smaller waistlines. Researchers even have found that the anticipation of a getaway can be more satisfying than remembering it once you get home. Leaf Van Boven, psychology and neuroscience professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Laurence Ashworth, marketing professor of Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, found that because future events are less certain than those in the past, merely looking forward to vacations “may be more arousing than retrospection about those events.” For example, they write: “Because there are more ways that a future beach holiday might happen – more beaches one might visit, more sunsets one might see, more books one might read – than ways it did happen, people might experience more pleasure during anticipation of, than during retrospection about, beach holidays.”
Dr. Beth McQuiston, a board-certified neurologist and registered dietitian, spoke on why rest and recharging are so vitial – and how people get the most from their time away from work. “When you start planning a vacation -- even if you don’t take one -- it can improve your frame of mind. An improved mood or mental lift can start to kick in immediately. The restoration process when you take vacation is also called recovery – reversing the negative effects of working too much. There’s recovery through both the release from job demands and through engagement in self-chosen and pleasant activities. When you are constantly going and under pressure, stress hormones can spike, which can affect your health. Depending on the person, this may translate into more colds, headaches and getting sick more often. When you relax, sleep and eat properly, you help get your health back in balance.” Source: Abbott, Live Life to the Fullest

A lovely green getaway: ‘Ireland, the Emerald Isle’ TRAVEL TALK ALESIA HOUSE It’s been just about a month since we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day, I thought I’d share about my recent visit to Ireland, or what’s known as “The Emerald Isle.” There is so much to see in this beautiful country that even a six-day tour of the southern area seemed like a whirlwind. Ireland is picturesque – from the magnificent green hills and sheep pastures, to the majestic castles, to the Cliffs of Moher – there is no shortage of attractions and radiant landscapes. It’s a country rich in heritage and steeped in history, culture and architecture dating back centuries. When visiting, most fly into Dublin; while there is a lot to see and do in that great city, you must travel beyond it to see more of this amazing country. If it’s your first time in Ireland, take a guided tour rather than a self-guided tour. By traveling with a local guide, you’ll cover more ground and experience Ireland through the eyes of someone who knows and loves their country. A guided tour offers answers to your questions, fun facts about historic sites, and
AVANT-GARDE, from Page 27 loe Dameron stopped by our table and explained the food is prepared by two chefs with burnished reputations: Partner and Executive Chef Carlisle Bannister and Chef de Cuisine, Ernie LaBrecque. “We are all about sourcing food locally, rooted in a Southern-style using fresh ingredients,” he said. “Carlisle has a great twist on our menu items and he’s not going to let anybody go hungry. His burger is the best on the East Coast and his shrimp and grits are to die for,” he said. Our meals and a glass of wine ran about $50 per couple with tip and tax. Learning of our interest in Virginia wine, Dameron offered to pour his se-
the opportunity to snap pictures and take in the breathtaking scenery while someone else is driving. Although there are many sites to visit, these are some top things to see when experiencing Ireland. Towns and villages are scattered all throughout the country. Choose a tour that will give you the best of both worlds: the cities as well as the small-town villages that make you feel like you just stepped back in time. The scenery along the drive to those villages is captivating: the Cliffs of Moher, Dingle Peninsula, Enniscorthy, Cobh (pronounced Cove), Blarney and Killarney, to name a few. The Guinness Storehouse Brewery is the most-visited attraction in Ireland. Trinity College Library houses the Book of Kells. Christ Church Cathedral is one of Ireland’s two medieval cathedrals. Killarney is a quaint town that never sleeps, boasting lovely publined, cobblestone streets with people milling about at the shops and pubs. Shopping in Ireland is wonderful, and, yes, you can find that handmade sweater you’ve been looking for at many of the local Woollen Market stores. The Irish people are incredibly hospitable and some of the most jovial people you’ll meet. Let’s not forget about the food! Because it’s an island, much of their produce and meat is grown and raised locally, and you can taste the fresh-
ness – it’s some of the best food I’ve eaten. Breads are all homemade, and, of course, every meal has at least two different kinds of potatoes. Their soups are also homemade, creamy, and sold with fresh bread, even in convenience stores. A full Irish breakfast is something to behold as well – ham, sausages, eggs, roasted tomatoes, baked beans and pudding, along with toasted bread, spread with Kerrygold Butter (produced in Ireland) and homemade preserves. For lunch or dinner, Irish stew made with Guinness beer and, of course, bread is always on tap. Fish and chips
lection of wines at the tasting bar; all the bottlings are made by Michael Shaps, one of the most respected vintners in Virginia. An intriguing discussion ensued on the Virginia wine industry led by a man well-versed on the subject. As we left the winery, we slowly drove down a gravel road to Shirley Plantation, literally the next home to the south. Its construction began in 1723. Tours are available year-round and if your visit to the winery is a first-time experience, be sure to carve out time to see the mansion, or “Great House.”
park there while we unloaded and registered. The immediate response was, “Absolutely!” By the time we checked out in the morning, virtually all of the staff had laced their conversations with, “Absolutely!” If the word is embedded in staff training classes, it was executed flawlessly, coming off as sincere and original each time we heard it. The service from check-in to checkout was understated and friendly. “Pampered” came to mind. The Jefferson was built in 1895. It’s estimated up to $10 million was spent on its planning, building, and furnishing; that’s $299 million in today’s dollars. When it opened, it was proclaimed to be the finest hotel in the country. The hotel’s history encompasses a major fire and a series of restorations over the last century. In 2013, the latest multi-million reconstruction project was undertaken. The 262 guest rooms were transformed into 181 spacious rooms featuring entry foyers, dressing areas, and luxurious marble baths. No less than 13 presidents and an endless number of famous guests have rested easy at the hotel, including Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Charlie Chaplin, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, just to mention a few of the dozens of American and international notables who have slept there. It was certainly one of the finest hotel rooms we had stayed in. While not cheap at $300 a night, we found a deal on Hotels.com and stayed for $245. Drinks and dinner were in the Lemaire bar and dining room. It is named after Thomas Jefferson’s French chef. It is one of the city’s premier white-ta-

The menu is American focused with entrees of Angus beef tenderloin, grilled pork chops, lamb shank gremolata crusted salmon, jumbo sea scallops and more. Our tab came to $180 including wine, tax, and tip. An exceptionally fair price given the setting. Our entrees were a nice cross-section of the menu.

Get your ‘hatitude’ on Your Hat Lady boutique in Warrenton has them waiting By Debra H. Smyers Contributing Writer
It is that time of year again, when the search is on for the perfect hat! Easter, Mother’s Day, Virginia Gold Cup, garden parties, birthdays and weddings inspire wearing that very special accessory that makes an outfit complete. The preferred place to buy a hat is from someone who knows, “wear the hat; you don’t want the hat to wear you.” That is the advice of Gertie Edwards as she provides knowledge and customer service in her boutique, Your Hat Lady, in Warrenton. A business owner of a hat shop in the historic district since 2013, Edwards moved the boutique last December to a new location at 33 Beckham St., on a short side street between Culpeper Street and South Second Street. It is a charmingly bright building with multiple rooms and shelves to showcase her inventory. A courtyard extends from the shop, bringing a bit of spring indoors, illuminated with natural light. Customers enjoy the selection of hats and especially Edwards’ expertise. She used to make hats, so she understands good construction, materials and quality. Hats and fascinators adorn the shop in a variety of styles and colors. There is also a small section for men’s and children’s hats. With something for everyone and for all occasions, Your Hat Lady is a popular place in friendly Warrenton where everyone is on a first-name basis. A recent sunny Saturday afternoon brought many people to Old Town Warrenton including sisters

Virginia’s Historic Garden Week promotes preservation Warrenton Garden Club hosts four properties May 1 to 2 COURTESY PHOTOS
Tour headquarters for Historic Garden week, May 1 and 2, will be in Old Town Warrenton at the offices of the Piedmont Environmental Council, 45 Horner St. Contact: 540-347-2334 By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
Kimberly Wright, chairwoman of the Warrenton Garden Club’s historic garden tour, likes to say that this year’s event on May 1 to 2 “has something for everyone” at each of the four featured local properties. “There’s architectural interest, gardening interest, historical interest,” she said. “Each house really does have a unique offering.” The Warrenton tour is one of many held around the state during Historic Garden Week, April 27 to May 4, organized by the Garden Club of Virgin-
ia. It’s the oldest and largest house and garden tour in the nation. Wright said more than 1,000 visitors are expected for this year’s Warrenton tour “and it’s not just locals. We have a number of out-of-state visitors, as well.” Overall, there will be 31 tours around the state, organized and hosted by 47 member clubs. Approximately 200 private homes, gardens and historical places will be open throughout the commonwealth. The Warrenton Garden Club, founded in 1911, has more than 40 members, many of whom will be volunteering during the local tour. The inspiration for the state-wide tour came early in the GCV’s history

when a flower show organized by volunteers in 1927 raised $7,000 to save trees planted by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. The first tours, known as “pilgrimages,” took place two years later. Tour proceeds — more than $17 million since it began — have funded the restoration and preservation of more than 40 of Virginia’s historic public gardens as well as a research fellowship program, and a GCV Centennial project with Virginia state parks. The eight-day, statewide event provides visitors a unique opportunity to see unforgettable gardens at the peak of Virginia’s springtime color, as well as beautiful houses sparkling with more than 2,300 flower arrangements created by GCV members. “Historic Garden Week has raised millions of dollars to keep Virginia beautiful,” said Lynn McCashin, GCV’s executive director. “The grounds of our most cherished landmarks, including Mount Vernon and Stratford Hall, have been restored with tour proceeds.” The Warrenton portion of the driving and shuttle tour highlights the benefits of protected lands and perpetual open easements, from the stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the natural beauty of the valley. The Warrenton tour headquarters will be at the Piedmont Environmental Council office located in Old Town Warrenton. The PEC also has a lush native plant garden specifically designed for an urban setting. The PEC office underwent a major renovation and expansion in 2014 that included the reuse of the existing structure. Great care was taken to maintain the integrity and appearance of the historic section of the house, which was initially constructed in 1784 and once owned by Civil War cavalry commander John Mosby. The renovation also includes native flowers, shrubs and trees planted around the office. The garden features dogwood and oak trees, boxwood and a pollinator garden. Folly Hill Farm is located in the Springs Valley, and its yellow frame farmhouse was originally built in 1833 and renovated to include all the luxu-
ries of 21st-century living. A screened porch was turned into a sunroom with triple-sash windows inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello; it overlooks a swimming and spa area surrounded by mountain views. The grounds include a sand-riding arena, a tenant house, vegetable gardens and a chicken coop, nicknamed “Cluckingham Palace,” complete with a chandelier and decorative iron hinges. Wildcat Mountain Farm features protected native flora, both meadow and woodland, that line the winding ascent up this historic road, once home to a commercial orchard with more than 5,000 fruit trees. Diverse wildlife and pollinators thrive, seeking the native plants that supplement surrounding English-style gardens, managed pastures and meadow landscapes on this farm located 1,330 feet above sea level. Centered within a magnificent view of Fauquier County and steeped in the history of the rebellious Freestate, this 1906 fieldstone house is currently undergoing a third-generation restoration of a family estate. The extensive grounds include horse pastures long grazed by generations of retired event horses, steeplechasers and hunters. At Valhalla, the 1912 home originally was built as a two-story fieldstone farmhouse with a wide sitting porch to oversee the apple orchard, for which Wildcat Mountain was named. Architectural renovations in the 1960s led to the thumbprint of what is now Valhalla and the fieldstone used in the additions was sourced mostly from Wildcat Mountain. Peacocks wander the grounds, which include an apple orchard and a potage kitchen garden, complete with an espalier pear tree. Kwanzan cherry trees flank the side of the house, and numerous varieties of naturalized daffodils thrive in the rock outcroppings along the front of the house. Merry Oak Farm features a home built from native fieldstone sourced from the farm property in the 1970s. Owned by the family of the late Fauquier Times publisher Arthur (Nick) Arundel, it overlooks a 20-acre mountain top lake, with breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounding the house, a machine shed, stable, chicken coop and flower gardens contribute to the creation of a self-sufficient homestead. The entire farm has been preserved in perpetual open space easement, ensuring that future generations will be able to experience the beauty of the landscape.

Library celebrates Earth Day with Story Time and Seed Swap Earth Day, observed each year on April 22, promotes ways to protect our earth and environment. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 by many colleges and communities around the country in appreciation for clean water, air and land, and in support of environmental reform to protect these critically important resources. Earth Day is now a globally observed day. Fauquier County Public Library will celebrate Earth Day with Piedmont Polliwogs, a special story time presented by the Clifton Institute.

Phase 1 of Orlean fire department move complete Good news! The first part of the big move for the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department is over. This week the equipment was moved across the yard with all the necessary items to run calls by the volunteers and career staff. Within five minutes after the equipment was moved, the first emergency call was dispatched. The business meeting was held in the bay on Tuesday evening followed by a tour of the building for members who had not had the opportunity to visit previously. The facility is wonderful and our community should be proud to have these emergency facilities available. Prior to the meeting, a firehouse tradition for new stations involved “pushing the truck” into the building. Members joined in pushing Wagon 11 into its new home. There is still work to do. Phase 1 means that the building can be used for running calls. Phase 2 involves the removal of the old buildings, landscaping and preparing the parking areas. This work will require several months to complete. We know that you want to visit, but please be patient while Phase 2 is underway. An open house will be planned as soon as possible when the work is complete. The Buy-A-Brick program is still ongoing for OVFRD. This effort enables folks to remember a loved one, or to recognize a group or individual who has contributed to the community.

The ones that we are fortunate enough to capture are treated to immediate swimming lessons. A little dish detergent works well in their swimming pools. We attended the program on human trafficking presented at St. John the Evangelist Church last week. Unfortunately, Virginia is ranked seventh in the nation on trafficking. One of the most poignant presentations was given by the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was enticed into a situation by a member of the MS-13 gang. Information was pro-

County Master Gardeners. Three conferences on human trafficking have recently been held in Fauquier County: one at Cedar Lee Middle School in Bealeton on Nov. 14, one at Bealeton Baptist Church on March 9 and one at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Warrenton on March 30. The informed speakers have included Fauquier County Sheriff Robert Mosier, Just Ask Prevention Executive Director William Woolf, and the mother of a trafficked teenaged girl.

The transgressors are gangs, friends, and adults with inducements of drugs, flattery, presents, money, and threats. Help and assistance is available by calling the hotline at 888-373-7888, by texting HELP or INFO to 233733, by calling the Fauquier sheriff’s non-emergency number at 540-347-3300, or by going online to www.justaskprevention.org.

SHOWING RESPECT Those attending funerals should bear in mind that the ceremony provides family and friends of the deceased with their most important opportunity to celebrate, sanctify, remember, and respect the life of a person most dear to them. With this in mind, funeral attendees should pay particular attention to following the rules and tone of the proceedings. Any disturbance, whether it be a rowdy child or a ringing cell phone, is likely to be interpreted by mourners as a sign of disrespect. Grieving family and friends, whose emotions are already heightened, have very little tolerance for any behavior that lessens the dignity of the occasion. Smoking, eating, drinking, and talking loudly are prohibited behaviors, out of respect for the deceased. A funeral can and should be as unique as the life that is being celebrated. Personalizing a funeral or memorial service can be very therapeutic--it gives you and your family something to concentrate on as you relive memories.
