WARRENTON/FAUQUIER

by Aimée O’Grady

INVEST IN ATHLETICS More Sports, Leagues and a New Complex Coming

A

fter witnessing the steady growth of his small soccer club over the past fifteen years, Rául Heras, Director of the Warrenton Youth Sports Club, is confident that investing time, energy, and funding in sports programs in Fauquier County will benefit the economy and businesses in Warrenton while helping keep residents physically fit, building young people’s confidence, self-esteem, and trust, and developing leadership skills in today’s youth.

Heras and his family moved to Warrenton in 1997. Shortly thereafter, his son expressed an interest in soccer. Heras hails from Madrid and played soccer there as a child, so he was excited to volunteer as his son’s coach.

After coaching for several years, he and his wife decided to launch a new soccer club to appeal to the Hispanic community. The Warrenton Youth Sports Club (WYSC) began in 2000 with only twenty-one children.

Today, the soccer program alone registers 780 children. Over 2,000 total students participate in WYSC sports, which also include basketball and volleyball.

WYSC added basketball to the club in 2008, when the original hosting club was no longer able to support a recreational basketball program. Over the years, WYSC has organized 3v3 tournaments and has recently formed the first AAU travel youth basketball team for fifth grade boys. Meanwhile, plans are in the

works for a fifth grade girls’ team.

Each year the WYSC hopes to add a new fifth grade boys and girls travel team.

Also in its seventh year is the WYSC volleyball program. Dawn Roda launched the program when her daughter and her friends wanted to prepare for middle school volleyball tryouts. At the time, the only local volleyball program was a travel team.

Roda invited ten girls to practice at Greenville Elementary School, where she works. When more and more girls showed up to practice, she knew that a volleyball program would be successful. Roda contacted Heras, who was excited about adding a new sport for community children. The first summer volleyball league had twenty-five players and has grown to include summer leagues, Fall/Winter leagues and clinics throughout the year. Now, the WYSC volleyball program has grown to 400 players.

Earlier this year, WYSC was awarded a Make it Happen! grant by the Fauquier Health Foundation. The $10,000 grant will be used to install three sand volleyball courts at the Athey sports fields adjacent to the WARF. Up until now, the recreational league had no choice but to play on grass. The sand courts will open the possibility for an adult league, sand tournaments, and outdoor clinics.

Heras, Roda and other Warrenton residents realize the growing need and interest in community sports.

instructor and personal trainer, is one such resident.

According to Howser, “Studies show that we aren’t eating more than twenty years ago, but the population is gaining in obesity and health issues. Nationwide, one in three children is considered overweight or obese.

This isn’t a matter of more food; it’s a matter of less movement.”

The investment in athletics has the far-reaching potential to reverse current trends toward overweight and obesity. “We are currently seeing a generation that may not outlive their parents, and the health care costs are rising quicker than we can control them,” Howser says. “The CDC says that children and adolescents need at least 60 minutes of vigorous activity every day.

Elementary schools cannot meet that requirement with the current scheduling, and therefore it becomes even more important that parents emphasize the need to move. Youth sports can help fill that gap.”

Recreational and intramural sports affect athletes beyond their physical health. For Howser, whose sons play WYSC basketball, “organized sports play an important part in our children’s social development, as well as their physical health. In recreational sports, along with learning the fundamentals of the game, children are learning about sportsmanship, teamwork, competition, and how to win and lose graciously.” Athletes learn to depend on teammates and listen to their coaches for help to reach a common goal.

The Fauquier Youth Sports Council (FYSC), a conglomerate of all the sports organizations in Fauquier County, wants to combat the ill effects of too much screen time and reduced activity in schools. This summer, FYSC plans to break ground on a sports complex that will not only benefit the health and wellness of Warrenton residents but will also contribute to Warrenton’s economy.

The Central Complex will be located across from John Deere on Meetze Road. The 70-acre parcel is owned by Fauquier County Parks and Recreation, which is granting access to local sports organizations

in exchange for field maintenance.

With the creation of the Central Complex, area sports leagues will be able to schedule tournaments for travel teams, which in turn will retain talented athletes in our community and bring visitors here throughout the year. The Central Complex will be open to athletes of all ages and will provide access to clubs of every sport.

According to Jimmy Lyon, Central Region Superintendent for Fauquier County, “The plan for the complex includes five baseball diamonds, six rectangular fields, a playground, inlineskating rink, volleyball, concession and restroom facilities, a batting cage, maintenance facility, office and meeting space, a shared use path/equestrian connector trail, and an environmental study area.” The entire complex is scheduled to be completed in several years.

Howser is excited about the Central

Complex because “communities rally together to cheer for teams, and that bridges the differences of race, religion or other social differences. Families on a team may not all come from the same neighborhood or background, but when their children are on the field, they are all cheering for the same goal – the children having fun and playing the best game possible.”

Even local businesses are eager for the anticipated increase in customers. Amelia Stansell, President of the Greater Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, says local businesses “are excited for the potential economic boost the Central Complex will bring to the Town of Warrenton and Fauquier County as families come enjoy the new facility.” This facility will increase the number of opportunities our community will have to showcase our dining, shopping, and even our overnight accommodations for travel

teams, in addition to other services our community provides.

In the movie Field of Dreams, Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham famously describes the ball field as a sanctuary to struggling local farmer Ray Kinsella: “This is my most special place in all the world, Ray. Once a place touches you like this, the wind never blows so cold again.” Because of groups like WYSC and members of the FYSC, Warrenton’s children (and childrenat-heart) have a place to go where they can not only tone and strengthen their bodies, but discover talents and passions, make friendships, grow as leaders, and fall in love with sports.

Aimée O’Grady, Warrenton freelance writer, is raising children who will one day take the field at the Central Complex.

History

‘We are surrounded by the enemy…’

Part 1: Betty Gray’s diary records the trials of war and occupation

by John T. Toler

I

n December 2012, the Fauquier Historical Society was given a transcript of the Civil War diary kept by Elizabeth Frances Gray, who was born in Fauquier County in 1842.

Known throughout her life as “Betty,” she was the daughter of Nathaniel Noble Gray and Sarah Anne Edmonds Gray of “Mill View,” the family home on Dumfries Road, east of Warrenton.

By 1938, the hand-written diary had been passed down to Betty’s niece, Elizabeth Cole Gray Bartenstein (1890-1955), and transcribed by Mrs. Bartenstein’s daughter, Miss Elizabeth Cole “Betsy” Bartenstein (1913-1999).

Over the years, several Civil War historians shared the Gray diary transcription, and the historical society received its copy from Mr. Dan Cragg, formerly of Fairfax. Mr. Cragg and his colleague, Rev. Carl Schmahl of Warrenton, closely read the dairy, adding detailed endnotes.

Rev. Schmahl also prepared a digital version of the document, which he shared with the society.

Betty Gray’s family had deep roots in Fauquier County. Her Edmonds forebears built Ivy Hill in Warrenton during Colonial times, and the Fitzhughs owned land along Cedar Run that later became Weston, as well as other properties, in the years after the American Revolution.

In addition to Betty, Nathaniel and Sarah Gray had five other children; sons Elias E. (1835-

1899), James French (d. 1862), William Fitzhugh (1843-1898), and Egleston (1845-1933); and daughter Victoria A. H. Gray (1843-1909).

It was noted in the 1860 Census that Betty was living at Mt. Airy near Baldwin’s Ridge with her grandmother, Sarah B. Fitzhugh Edmonds (17851878).

Betty Gray’s diary presents a unique picture of life in the section of the county bordered by the WarrentonAlexandria Turnpike, Catlett’s Station, the Fauquier-Prince William county line, and Cedar Run. Not far from Mt. Airy were several other large farms, which formed a close, unique society in the years before the Civil War. Typical of the day – and the comparatively small population of Fauquier County – most of the families were related.

Betty’s diary provides interesting details about these properties and their

the home of James Henry and Betsy Edmonds and their daughter “Dollie;” “Mill Field,” on Cedar Run, where John L. White had his home and gristmill; “Grapewood,” the Warren Fitzhugh place on Rogue’s Road; and “Vint Hill,” owned by Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Low. Near Vint Hill was “Ringwood,” the home of Rev. Thomas Bloomer Balch, who served as pastor of the Greenwich Presbyterian Church from 1833-1835, and maintained his home there until his death. It also housed the Ringwood Seminary, a girls’ school run by Miss Jane Alexander “Janie” Milligan and her sister Isabella.

Recollections Betty Gray began recording her observations in a diary in November 1860. In her writings, Betty often refers to herself in the third person, identified simply as “F.” Her first entry was an account of current events. “Political excitement is

Sterling, the farm of Dr. Richard Tasker Mitchell; and Melrose Castle, built for Dr. James Murray.

now raging to such an extent it’s sad to contemplate the natural consequences that will proceed from it,” she wrote.

“The North has succeeded in electing her Abolitionist President, Abraham Lincoln.”

As was the case in many families in late 1860, there was initial disagreement as to what should happen

next. Betty noted that her father Nathaniel wanted to see the Union preserved, while her brother Elias advocated secession.

An unusual entry in March 1861 stated the unfounded and rather humorous rumor that Lincoln had disguised himself in “a Scottish plaid dress” when he entered Washington, D.C. after his election, in order to avoid assassination.

With the bombardment of Ft. Sumter in April and Lincoln’s call for troops from Virginia to quell the rebellion, “The cry of coercion aroused Virginia from her submissive slumber and she secedes from the Tyrannical Government of Yankees without delay,” wrote Betty.

By the end of May 1861, two of Betty’s brothers had enlisted in Confederate units: Elias joined an infantry company in Nashville, Tennessee, and “…Brother F. (James F.) belongs to Mosby,” wrote Betty.

About that time, the Union Army took Alexandria, and Gray kinfolk Judge Edward Henry Fitzhugh and his two daughters fled the city, and came to Mt. Airy. Another cousin, Miss “Gus” Parrott, daughter of John Parrot, also of Alexandria, joined them.

“Not withstanding the state of the country, we girls are having an agreeable time,” wrote Betty. “Why look sad? We are in the midst of our relations. It’s true that they fled their homes in the city to flee to our quiet homes for safety, but are not desponding, and are hoping for the best.”

Ferdinand Bartenstein (18151884), who became a friend of the family in later years, and his wife Elizabeth Cole Bartenstein (1822-1878) were also refugees from Alexandria.

In July 1861, Betty’s brother James returned home quite ill just before the First Battle of Manassas, but managed to join the fight. Those living along Baldwin’s Ridge could hear the cannon fire and see the smoke of the battle.

Betty described the outcome as “our great and glorious victory at Bulls Run,” and noted “Brother James stood the brunt of the fight & came out unscathed, while many brave comrades fell at his sides.”

Betty’s father Nathaniel Noble Gray owned Mill View and Gray’s Mill near the intersection of present-day Dumfries Road and Gray’s Mill Road. The mill and main house are gone, but the c. 1846 stone miller’s house has survived, with a large brick addition built much later. It is now the home Donald and Carol Casavecchia. and winter of 1861, with most of Betty’s diary entries dealing with the visits made by Confederate soldiers, and the comings-and-goings of her friends and family. She became friends with a Confederate soldier known as “Hope” who had dined with the family at Mt. Airy.

Soon, the war struck home. On January 29, 1862, “Pa received a letter today from Mr. Marr bringing the sad tidings of the death of our beloved Brother Elias,” wrote Betty.

“Report says that he fell in the battle of Somerset, Ky., (during what was called the Battle of Mill Springs) which came on the 19th. The enemy was victorious on account of their superiority in numbers. Our loss was heavy.”

The family’s mourning ended on February 10, when they learned that Elias was not dead, but in fact had been badly wounded in the thigh, and taken prisoner. “F (Betty) hopes now on that he may soon recover sufficiently to be exchanged & sent home to us.”

16

Union occupation begins Betty’s entry for March 9, 1862 marked a turning point in the war, and the beginning of a new and frightening struggle for the families that lived in the countryside around Warrenton.

“How much surprised to learn this morning that our troops are falling back from their stronghold at Manassas and Centreville, where they achieved such victories,” she wrote. “We are now turned out on the commons, who have been so securely fenced in for months by our Southern protection. How we shall stand the reign of the enemy is not pleasant to contemplate.” It was at this time that Betty’s brother William Fitzhugh (“Chew”) left to join Gen. J.E.B. Stuart’s command.

Confederate pickets were stationed briefly in Warrenton, and aware of the movement of Union troops into the area, warned civilians to stay with relatives living farther south. “But this advice is too late, (as there is) no conveyance, private or public,” noted

Betty. “Pa has been compelled to sell all of his best horses, rather than have them taken by the Feds …who could stand to see them hacked (ridden off) by a Yankee rogue?”

This was just the calm before the storm. On April 1, 1862, “The Federals arrived in Warrenton 8,000 strong, and notwithstanding this Sabbath, the air is filled with the unwelcome sound of martial music,” wrote Betty.

“We are surrounded by the enemy, and separated from so many friends… troubles are flowing thick & fast.”

The main Union force moved on, but soon others arrived to secure the town. Almost immediately, stories of the depredations of the occupying force began to circulate. On April 17, 1862, five Union soldiers came to “The Retreat,” east of town, and took Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Briggs’ dinner, and stole a horse.

Local citizens suspected of sheltering Rebel soldiers in their homes were arrested and confined in a Warrenton Lifestyle

Locust Grove, on present-day Gray’s Mill Road, was the home of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Ransdell Gray. The house been enlarged and remodeled over the years, but the original center section dates back to the early 19th century. guardhouse, and assemblies, including church services, were suspended.

April 20, 1862, was Easter Sunday.

“Raining fast & very gloomy,” wrote Betty. “Debarred altogether of the privilege of attending Church, so F. makes it a duty to read a sermon every Sabbath and go through the service.”

But things got worse. As recorded

by Betty on May 4, “Robert Scott, one of the greatest and best men of our Country, is no more. His death and circumstances are most deplorable and is lamented by all who knew him. He was shot by a Yankee deserter or desperado who had been committing some villainous acts in his neighborhood. A mob of citizens with Scott as leader was in pursuit of them, and thus he lost his valuable life.”

News of Betty’s brothers came slowly. She learned that Elias, wounded in Kentucky, had been moved to a prison in Indianapolis, and James had been in a battle outside of Richmond, where “…the Feds were repulsed and driven far into the Chicahominy Swamp.”

The fighting around Richmond continued into July, and the Union 18

occupation of Warrenton became harder to bear.

“The blessed Yankees are once and again polluting the streets of W.(arrenton) with their unholy tread.

The sound of their martial music is now wafting to my ears,” Betty wrote. “ For five days, Abraham’s troops have been sauntering to our door in groups. We have seen the Yankees in all varieties from horse stealer to hen roost robber and penitentiary men. Just caught two in the hen house.”

In order to protect his property, Nathaniel Gray hired Albert Wilmer and August Renches, two young German boys, to guard Mill View and Mt. Airy. Again, the Union forces left the area, but were soon replaced by troops commanded by Gen. John Pope.

“The topic of the day is about Pope’s order to arrest all peaceful citizens who refuse to take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States, and send them to prison or kindly escort them over the Lines to stay with their Rebel sympathizers,” wrote Betty on Aug. 9, 1862. “Your home will then be confiscated and family turned out of doors. This order has caused more

distress and excitement than any before issued. Numbers of harmless citizens are now hiding in the mountains to escape the grasp of the celebrated ole Scamp.”

Pope’s army later met defeat in the Battle of Cedar Mountain, “…and Pope never stopped running until he reached Washington,” Betty noted. “Gen. Halleck has rescinded Pope’s order.”

Union troops departed Warrenton, giving the families a chance to catch up with their sons in the war, and help their neighbors. James Gray returned home briefly, “ …looking badly,’ and stayed at Mt. Airy to recuperate. “Two of our friends in the 11th Mississippi have been killed; the rest are well,” Betty recalled in the Aug. 12, 1862 entry.

The respite from Union occupation ended again in late August, when it was learned that 5,000 troops were reported at Warrenton Junction. James Gray and the other Confederate soldiers left to rejoin their units. “What a sad change this news brings upon us,” Betty wrote.

“How true the saying, ‘The brightest light produces the darkest shade.’”

Remarkably, Betty reports nothing in her diary about the Second Battle of Manassas, which took place July 28-30, 1862.

Raids, privation, death In late September, Betty resumed her role at the Ringwood Seminary, assisting Miss Janie Milligan with her pupils, including Betty’s sister, Victoria.

On Sept. 29, 1862, Elias finally returned to Warrenton. “Thanks to the Good King who has protected him through so many difficulties and sent him safe to us again,” she wrote.

Less than a week later, the sounds of fighting were heard nearby, and on Nov. 6, 1862, Union cavalry headquartered at the old church (at Dumfries and Rogue’s Road) came to Mt. Airy looking for Rebel soldiers and threatened to take the family’s hogs and mule. This was just the beginning.

As Betty wrote on Nov. 9, 1862: “Entirely surrounded as we are by this lawless army…we may be robbed of all we have. The produce that has been saved by the farmers during their absence, bought up with the hopes of never seeing them, is now being carried off by the Blue Rogues or Red Necks.

“Not less than two regiments are now engaged carrying off Pa’s fine hay, while wagons innumerable are loading in our year’s supply of corn in another field. But this is not an end to our woes.

Gangs from eight to 18 are constantly stalking up to our barnyard to steal the poultry, while another clusters on in the woods, shooting our fat shoats.

“If we are to check them, their low impudence is unbearable. We learned late this afternoon the fate of Mt. Airy.

The whole premises has been robbed, and is now left entirely destitute of every comfort that been laid in for an abundant yearly supply. From the farmyard to the dwelling, from basement to attic, has been searched and robbed.

“We have succeeded in getting a guard of three stalwart men. They can keep all jayhawkers from our yard and premises. But nothing can stop the foraging.”

The raids continued the next day. . “F. (Betty) has seen a flock of sheep surrounded on the hill, and losing their lives as fast as an uncouth Yankee or foreigner can shoot them. There on the hill back of Mrs. Barber’s, they have butchered two cattle. Between this and Mt. Airy, they are killing one of grandma’s calves. Another squad is milking the cows. A gang of pigs are being chased by the villains at the edge of Cabin Hill Woods, and other little things too numerous to mention.”

This round of destruction and privation lasted until Nov. 17, when the Union troops again departed.

Word was received in early December that brother W. Fitzhugh Gray was very ill and confined in the Confederate hospital in Gordonsville.

Nathaniel Gray immediately set out for Gordonsville.

“After much difficulty Pa has succeeded in bringing poor Chew home. Arrived about 1 o’clock. What a shock it was to see the frame taken from a bed, lying in the vehicle, and brought in. We could scarcely recognize any resemblance to our once robust and cheerful Brother who left home for the wars in March. A perfect wreck, so feeble can scarcely raise himself in bed.

What a specimen of the horrors of war we now have before us. Two brothers in less than ten months brought home, one wounded and another ill from exposure.”

Just before Christmas 1862, the family learned that on Dec. 13, James had been wounded in the spine during The Battle of Fredericksburg, and had been moved to Richmond, where

he lay paralyzed. Again, Nathaniel Gray headed south to bring home a wounded son.

He reached the hospital, and “’Twas there that Pa found him, and after being with him one day & night, saw his noble son breathe out his last,” on Dec. 25, 1862 – his father’s birthday – according to Betty’s Dec. 27, 1862 entry. “Pa could not have borne it without help from above, for he went with the anticipation of bringing home a wounded son. But alas, it was a corpse.”

James French Gray was buried in the old Locust Grove cemetery, with a “…large concorde of friends standing around to see the last remains of my dear brother forever hid from my sight,” wrote Betty.

Ringwood was the home of Rev. Thomas B. Balch, as portrayed in an old woodcut. It was used for the Ringwood Seminary, a girls’ school operated by Miss Jane Alexander ‘Janie’ Milligan for many years, and was located on Rogue’s Road, near Vint Hill.

Part 2, to be published in May, deals with the family’s continuing struggle during the Civil War, and the return to a “new normal” after the surrender.

Elway Hall

8394 ELWAY LANE

The Edwardian mansion, completed in 1907 for General and Mrs. Baldwin Day Spilman, remained in the Spilman family for more than 50 years. Situated within an expansive lawn with many old-growth trees, the house was built using native stone hauled to the site by oxen.

With walls 30 inches thick, 14-foot ceilings, 16 fireplaces, a grand sweeping stairway and a 118-foot upper hallway connecting 10 bedrooms, Elway was the largest private residence in the Warrenton area at the time. The two-story, Bavarian-glass window above the front entrance features a Pre-Raphaelite image of Mrs. Spilman surrounded by 24

hummingbirds and trumpet vines. The current owner spent much of his life abroad and the house contains an intriguing and eclectic collection of objects ranging from a Han Dynasty figurine to African currency and Roman sculpture.

In turn they have inspired the furnishings he designs. An extensive collection of china is featured in one of the kitchens.

The wall of the main staircase contains numerous 18thand 19th-century prints and drawings, including several by the Czech artist, Jiri Anderle. A broad open lawn sweeps down to the pool offering views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Mr. Barry Dixon, owner.

onservation and preservation have been central to the Warrenton Garden Club and the Garden Club of Virginia from the beginning. This driving tour of 5 properties focuses on an area that contained a luxury spa in the 19th century, providing a healthy environment as well as social enjoyment. In the 1960s the Springs Valley became the focal point for land preservation with the establishment of forceful zoning. The goal was to secure the watershed and prevent construction that would jeopardize this basic need of the community. Today, visitors will enjoy the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and natural beauty of these open spaces, home to the Warrenton Hunt.

The beginning of Historic Garden Week (HGW) dates back to 1927 when a flower show raised and impressive $7,000 to save some of Thomas Jefferson’s original mulberry trees on the lawn at Monticello. The following year, the Garden Club of Virginia (GCV) was asked to help landscape Kenmore in Fredericksburg, the home of George Washington’s sister. In 1929, GCV members wrote notes to their friends and invited them to visit Virginia during the last week in April for a “pilgrimage” of historic homes and gardens. The tour lasted 11 days and was the beginning of Historic Garden Week as we know it today. HGW was been produced every year since 1929, with only a brief interruption during World War II when money

Marshfield 8609 SPRINGS ROAD The Appleton Gardens at Marshfield, designed by Coleston Burrell, was named to honor the owner’s grandmother, one of the founders of the Warrenton Garden Club (a founding club of both the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of America). Trees, ferns, hellebores and thousands of bulbs flank the drive. A rocky rill bordered by white azaleas spills down to the road. The old lawn with majestic trees has been rejuvenated into a series of rooms, each with a decided personality. The boxwood allée combines old boxwood with new plantings of tulips and iphion; the Secret Garden contains a steel sculpture by Boston artist Karen Stanley; the Druidic

Circle is made of an intriguing sculptural grouping of tree roots; and in summer, an open field becomes a riot of wildflowers. A serenity pool next to the house utilizes part of the foundation of the 19th-century house that burned. Today a low brick house nestles under the old trees and is shielded by numerous Japanese maples. Inside, family heirlooms coexist with comfortable modern furnishings. In the library is the baby table belonging to Daniel Webster, the owner’s great-greatgreat-grandfather. References to the gardens outside include the stained-glass windows in the master bath and the powder room as well as a mural called “Field of Poppies.” Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mitchell, owners.

was sent from the GCV to England to help preserve some of their public gardens that were in peril.

HGW is recognized as a significant player in Virginia’s travel industry and is actively promoted by the Virginia Tourism Corporation in coordination with the Garden Club of Virginia. Variety, history and beauty are all hallmarks of this state-wide event. HGW represents the coordinated efforts of 47 member clubs and 3,400 volunteers, almost 200 homeowners and hundreds of others friends, vendors and supporters. One national magazine had this to say about Historic Garden Week in Virginia: “Once revered as the Mother of Presidents, Virginia is more accurately known as the Mother of House Tours.”

Proceeds from Historic Garden Week fund the restoration and preservation of Virginia’s historic gardens, and provide graduate level research fellowships for building comprehensive and ongoing records of historic gardens and landscapes in the Commonwealth.

Since the first statewide tour, over $17 million has been contributed to these worthwhile causes.

Tickets: $30 pp. Single site admission $15pp.

Available at any of the houses open for the tour and at tour headquarters. Advance Tickets: $25 pp. www. vagardenweek.org.

TheOaks 8457 OAKS ROAD An extensive park filled with mature trees, including a rare American elm, several varieties of magnolia and the eponymous oaks surrounds the house. Irwin Fleming designed the Classical Revival limestone-trimmed, brick house in the early 1930s for the Reverend and Mrs. Paul Bowden, the present owner’s aunt. A portico with “Tower of the Winds” columns opens into the wide central hallway and graceful stairway. Seven generations of family possessions fill the house. Portraits by the French artist Yves Muller d’Escars are hung throughout, a French 19th-century clock set adorns the mantel in

the gilt drawing room, an early19th-century bed belonging to a Revolutionary-War ancestor and a French Louis XVIII bed grace two of the main guest bedrooms. Zuber wallpaper, depicting various hunts, fills the large dining room. On the second floor the master bedroom runs the full depth of the house and offers views of the Piedmont in three directions. Leave the house via the long porch at the rear and stroll across the lawn dotted with spring bulbs. A stone summerhouse on the north edge of the lawn encourages lingering. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Gookin, owners.

The clapboard house that sits on a slight rise commanding views toward the Blue Ridge Mountains is actually the skin around three late-18th- and early-19th-century houses. The master bed-room is a log cabin from Wythe County with a later Federal-style mantel and dado. The drawing room was originally in a house in Lunenburg County, but the paneled wall with fireplace flanked by cabinets came from a house in Martinsburg (now in West Virginia). The turned balusters on the early19th-century staircase in the entrance hall are unusual for such an early date. The owners have been careful to preserve original paint

where possible and the faux graining on the cabinets in the family room is said to have been done by the same artist who worked at Monticello. The owners have collected furniture contemporary with the architecture.

Many pieces were made in Winchester and Shenandoah Valley workshops. One 18thcentury chest-on-chest was made in Fauquier County. While being faithful to the period of the architecture, this is a family home with drawings of the children on the walls and paintings by the owner. Developing the gardens will be the next project for the history buff owners. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Thorpe, owners.

The original Leeton Forest, summer home of Charles Lee, Attorney General under both Washington and Adams, burned in 1890.

It was replaced in 1928 by the Federal-style house designed by Waddy Wood, based on Thomas Jefferson’s design for Ampthill in Goochland County. Many interior details came from Washington houses razed in the 1920s. The broad center hall opens onto the drawing room on one side and the dining room on the other. Above the mantel in the drawing room is a portrait of the present owner with his brother as young boys. Both

rooms are filled with English and American 18th- and early-19th century furniture inherited by the present owner. Of note in the hall is a pair of English 18th-century Rococo gilded looking glasses embellished with hoopoe birds in the chinoiserie style. A sunken sunroom leads out to a walled garden room with roses within boxwood-edged beds. A woodland walk flanked by hostas and azaleas leads to the terraced pool area.

Mature American and English boxwood frame open lawns and surround formal beds filled with a variety of spring blooms.

Urologist Dr. Kate Sullivan, of Fauquier Health Urology in Warrenton, will speak at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, about diagnosing and treating urology symptoms. Urology is a specialty that deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract -including kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra -- and male reproductive organs.

Dr. Sullivan says that while people think of urological conditions as men’s issues, she disagrees.

“Women, like men, can also have kidney stones, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and incontinence.” Indeed, kidney stones are one of the most common problems she encounters.

At the April 15 presentation, Dr. Sullivan will discuss bladder, prostate and kidney cancer, hematuria, urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. She will go over signs and symptoms, along with treatment options. The talk will take place in the Sycamore Room at Fauquier Hospital.

A free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening will be available after the lecture.

hile lions and elephants strolled through her front yard and snakes found their way into the family outhouse, Katlynn Brooke was running free with her siblings in the bush of Zimbabwe, reading her mother’s “penny horribles” and largely cultivating a life-long creative curiosity.

Decades later, Brooke has three self-published books, a fourth on the way, watercolor paintings in the Berkley Gallery, and a lifetime of stories. Although she spent almost half of her life living around the globe, Brooke calls Warrenton home and now takes others on adventures through her paintings and novels.

Brooke’s early life up until young adulthood was spent in the remote wilderness of the southeastern part of Africa known then as colonial Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she was born to her South African parents. Because of her father’s work in basic infrastructure construction, Brooke’s family lived a very nomadic life, mud huts included (sometimes it was a small RV or “caravan”). “We felt like pioneers,” Brooke said.

The oldest of four, Brooke and her siblings often

wandered around the bush by themselves. She remembers splashing in elephant footprints left in the sandy riverbed and seeing lions and elephants wander through their yard – but never being afraid of them. She was, however, scared of the snakes, but her father was a fairly adept snakecatcher and would then take them to snake farms for venom-milking.

“Looking back, I am amazed we survived our childhood, but we not only survived, we thrived. I was less afraid of animals than people, and returning to civilization, going to school, and integrating into normal society was difficult for me,” Brooke said.

Brooke was influenced by and inherited her creative talents from her parents, who were both artists and voracious readers. In her elementary years, Brooke found and read her mother’s “penny horribles,” the sensationalized Victorian novels. And if she couldn’t find a book, “I’d go into my mother’s pantry and read the writing on the cans and boxes. Well, it was something to do.”

At age nine, Brooke was given a reading test with the rest of her class. After Brooke aced the test, her teacher ran off to call the principal.

“What shall I do with her?” the teacher asked.

“Anything you like,” he responded and left.

Brooke started reading the classics while her classmates started on “Dick and Jane.”

Although reading and writing came naturally to Brooke at a young age, it was painting that captured

her creative senses throughout most of her adulthood. After moving to South Africa when she was 19, Brooke married an American from the State Department and then spent five years living in India and Indonesia. When Brooke finally settled in Virginia, at the age of 28, she enrolled in Northern Virginia Community College and earned her associate degree in illustration and commercial art.

“During my first years in Warrenton, I painted a lot. I’d paint every day, and specialized in watercolor.” Brooke also taught watercolor painting for many years out of her home and her paintings are still shown in the Berkley Gallery on Main Street today.

“I love color, light and tone, and to understand how to translate that into a painting is challenging but satisfying at the same time…I enjoy teaching others about tone and color because it is often the least understood thing in painting…I love the transparency of watercolor, and enjoy the challenge of making my paintings glow.”

As much as she loved painting, Brooke started to feel like there was something more trying to get out… something more she could create.

After finding their mother’s diary after her death, Brooke and her sister got the idea to write a novel about life in Africa. This turned into Brooke’s first novel, “Talk to the Moon.”

After trying, with no luck, to finish the sequel to “Talk to the Moon,” Brooke felt a different story pushing its way to the surface. Two months later she finished her first young

adult fantasy novel, “The Six and the Crystals of Ialana.” After only another two months, Brooke finished the sequel, “The Six and the Gardeners of Ialana”. “I had found my genre!”

Now working on the third installment of the Ialana series, Brooke seems to have found her muse. “I wanted to write what I enjoy reading, only in a different way.”

The premise of the Ialana series is that everything is explainable, including magic. Understanding the true nature of the universe and how to gain the cooperation of the elements in a way that is in harmony with nature allows even flying, healing, telepathy, etc. to be explainable.

While the Ialana series is definitely filled with the fantastic (shape-shifters!), Brooke says about writing, “It is a challenge to say something ordinary in an interesting way. It is not the person who has lived the most interesting life that can write, but the person who has not, but makes everyone think they must have led an interesting life. This is fiction.”

The fascinating part about Katlynn Brooke’s life is how extraordinary it seems. Maybe she’s just telling it in an interesting way.

Interested readers can find Brooke’s three self-published titles on Amazon Kindle, and can also keep a lookout for them coming soon to the Barnes and Noble Nook. Print-on-demand copies will also soon be available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Learn more about Brooke’s works on her website katlynnbrooke.com.

FAMILIAR

Faces

Former Marine Pilot Brews for Health Kombucha said to provide a myriad of beneifts

by Danica Low

In 2010, a former U.S. Marine jet pilot was caring for his wife of twentysix years, Roseann, who required daily IVs and feeding through a tube in her chest. The veteran attack pilot had incurred many major injuries in his military career and in sports, but nothing was as difficult watching his spouse suffer. On December 28th of that year, former Marine Captain Ralph Crafts heard about kombucha (pronounced kom-BOO-cha) from his wife’s Medicaid attendant (kombucha is produced by fermenting sweet black tea with a culture of bacteria and yeast, and is available in many health/natural food stores. Its origin has been traced back to ancient China).

The Medicaid attendant suggested the drink to Ralph for stress relief, as he had served as the primary caregiver for his ill wife for seven years. As a former Marine jet pilot, Ralph’s idea of a stress relief drink was a good bourbon, not a health shake, so he reluctantly followed up on the suggestion and found a national brand of kombucha at the local natural market. He was turned off by the taste: “It was awful!”

But, the following day, as fortune would have it, an article on the health benefits of kombucha ran in the Food section of The Washington Post. As he flipped through the paper, the article caught his attention. Proponents claimed kombucha tea could stimulate the immune system, help with the side effects of medications (e.g., chemotherapy and antibiotics), help with digestive issues, and improve liver function, among other health benefits.

One of his wife’s critical challenges at 34

the time was healing her liver. Ralph was interested.

He started making kombucha at home. Through the process of fermenting tea to create a brew with high levels of B vitamins, antioxidants and probiotics, Ralph and his wife began to perfect the taste of his brews.

In fact, Roseann carefully and diligently worked to perfect 18 different flavors, using pure, organic ingredients such as whole vanilla beans, lemon zest, raw ginger root and strawberries. They ensured the “SCOBY” or pancake-like formation of bacteria and yeast that forms as a result of the fermentation process, remained in a purely organic environment, by using only organic teas. The home-brewed kombucha tasted so good that Ralph and his wife each started drinking up to three pints each day. And amazingly, and immediately, he claims they both saw health benefits. Roseann’s liver enzyme levels fell back to normal ranges and her recurring systemic infections from the IV feedings stopped completely.

Compelled by the results, Ralph opened a kombucha production line in his converted garage. His neighbors asked to try it. His engineer asked to try it to improve his sleep and reduce his knee pain, and after seeing results, asked for more for his mother who wasn’t able to eat due to the side effects of chemotherapy (she was back to a full diet within three days of drinking Ralph’s brew). With success story upon success story, and the great taste of the drink, word of mouth began to build Ralph’s production line into a business.

Ralph committed himself to sharing

his kombucha with the local Fauquier Community. He served his brew at a kiosk at Gold’s Gym in Warrenton and started offering tastings at local markets. However, he says, that as word spread, the demand was coming from the north and west, as far as Maryland and all around the DC-metro area. One day in 2011, Ralph received a phone call from Native Harvest in Culpeper and they began to offer his kombucha, instead of the national brand, Synergy. At the Native Harvest tasting event to introduce the local kombucha, they sold more cases of Ralph’s brew in one day than they had sold of Synergy in three months. Ralph knew that he, and his now late wife, had created something special.

Ralph founded Made To Order (MTO) Kombucha, LLC (MTOK), in June 2011, and designed and opened his brewery in Vint Hill in January of 2014. The company needed a distribution center, warehouse and production line large enough to meet demand. Today, hundreds of case a month and scores of kegs filled with MTO Kombucha are delivered to more than 70 locations in the DC-metro area, including Market Salamander in Middleburg, Gainesville Holistic Center, Advanced Chiropractic in Lansdowne, Neck Back & Beyond in Fairfax, Washington Green Grocer, University of Maryland Center for Health, Organic Butcher of McLean, Eden’s Natural Market in Gainesville, For Goodness Sake in Leesburg, various yoga studios, Everlasting Life Vegan Restaurant in Colonial Heights, Maryland, and Yes!

in DC and Maryland, to name a few. Local eateries and markets such as Hidden Jules Café in Warrenton and Messick’s Farm Market serve the brew as well.

“It is amazing,” says Crafts, “people just want to sell it for us. We don’t do sales calls. It is that good.”

MTO Kombucha is brewed daily, Monday through Friday, out of the production facility located at 7134 Lineweaver Road in Vint Hill, which is right next to the Old Bust Head Brewery. Old Bust Head serves MTO Kombucha on tap daily. Another benefit to MTOK, Crafts adds, is that when it is consumed with alcohol or the morning after a night out, it is able to restore optimal feelings of health because it rapidly cleanses the liver.

MTO Kombucha Operations Manager, Meagan Donica shares, “On New Year’s Eve, Old Bust Head Brewery requested extra for the holiday and brewery owner called me on my cell phone to say they needed more, as soon as possible! We had them res-stocked almost immediately.”

She adds, “Our kombucha tastes better than most, and we are building a following of people who expect it and look forward to it at these establishments.”

MTO Kombucha also offers tastings inside its Vint Hill location. A tasting room was added to the facility in November to offer a variety of flavors on tap to sample for free (typically eight to ten at a time), and tables for friends and group gatherings. Ms. Donica encourages the community to call ahead to schedule a group tasting 36

(540-364-2639) or just show up during taproom hours, which are Friday 2-6pm, Saturdays 12-6pm, and Sundays 12-4pm. Some showcased flavors include Double Ginger, Hops, Ginger-Lemon, Harvest Spice, Lime-Basil, Raspberry, Cranberry-Pomegranate, and Blueberry.

If a returning customer brings a half-gallon “grower,” they may refill at a discounted price. MTO Kombucha is also available in pint-sized Mason jars. Customers may also bring their own glass container to fill from the tap system for a fee close to $4.00/pint, but prices are soon to change, says Ms. Donica. A new price list will be available in February.

“Our kombucha is pure—no artificial ingredients, no sugar added, not even any juice—which keeps the health benefits high,” says Ralph. “The flavors are made from the purest ingredients. We go to great lengths to ensure our kombucha is made with only the best ingredients. We order multi-kilo bundles of organic black tea from four different regions around the world—Sri Lanka, India, China, and Malaysia.”

Regular drinkers claim improved health from the brew, including the disappearance of symptoms of Lyme Disease, bladder and sinus infections, celiac disease, insomnia, autoimmune diseases, acid reflux, and chronic pain. Perhaps to most interesting customers are the four-legged kind. MTO Kombucha sells to horse owners as a colic preventative and natural de-wormer, and dog and cat owners to aid with skin and digestive issues.

Ralph explains that the natural acidity of the drink preps the gut for the probiotics and vitamins to be absorbed. “The body has an incredible capacity to heal itself if given the right fuel,” he says. Some records indicate kombucha may have been introduced to Japan by a Korean physician around 414 AD, and routinely used by Samurai.

In January of this year, Harris Teeter created a vendor number for MTO Kombucha, making the grocer the first national chain to sell the product by the pint. Currently, Whole Foods offers MTO Kombucha by the pint and is planning to offer it on tap as well, and Royal Ahold—Giant Foods’ owner—has expressed interest in offering the product.

“Our corporate culture is entirely different than that of three MBA’s getting together to try and make a quick profit.

We are producing a life-changing product here. I started making this at home to same my wife, and discovered we could make a great tasting, health drink that can impact people’s lives in a good way.”

The former tactical jet Marine pilot takes no prescription or pain medications for this many injuries and broken bones, and credits MTOK for his overall great health. He credits MTOK for keeping his late wife Roseann alive for more than 3 ½ years. And in forward-looking news, his new wife Bobbie (recently wed on December 27) is now at Ralph’s side selling MTO Kombucha to the local community.

“We’ve had lots of success reaching markets far and wide, but it’s time to really concentrate some efforts here at home in Fauquier,” adds Ms. Donica.

Although Kombucha is claimed to have several beneficial effects on health, the claims are not supported by scientific evidence.

Kombucha brings some debate within the medical community on safety and efficacy. Consult your doctor before use.

Retiring TO WARRENTON

by Aimée O’Grady

O

ne year ago this month, Terry Owsley retired after twenty-four years with Sprint. With his retirement, he earned back not just his workdays but also the three or more hours he spent commuting to and from Sprint’s Reston location each day. Owsley looked ahead at a blank slate and the opportunity to begin a new adventure.

The pension he receives from his years at Sprint covers insurance for Owsley and his wife, but not much else. “It was necessary for me to work,” Owsley says, “and I really thought that I would be teaching by now.” Early in his career, he had earned a Master’s degree in English as a Second Language, and he taught for a few years at American University. Transitioning back to

teaching would be easy, Owsley thought.

Not surprisingly, life had other plans for him.

During the holiday season of 2010, Owlsey’s wife, Lee, opened a pop-up store at 104 Main Street where she sold Fair Trade items from friends in Uganda.

During the few weeks that the store was open, business was booming. When it came time to close the shop, no one – not the Owsleys, their customers, or their Ugandan friends – wanted to see it end. So thanks to the help of their son and local friends who volunteered their time, the pop-up store remained. That June, Lee devoted herself to the store full time.

As sales increased, Terry stepped in to help operate Latitudes Fair Trade on

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream…”

MIDDLE: Red onions and spinach from the Owsley’s farm.

BOTTOM: Thanks to 1,500 strawberry plants, 2015 will see a You-Pick at the Owsley Farm 40

Main Street, as well as a new location that the couple recently opened up in Fredericksburg. Owlsey feels they have a good thing with the store. “I like meeting people and talking with our customers. Over the years it has become a meeting place for people. I also like working with Fair Trade. It is a feel-good practice. We aren’t just consuming. We are helping people who are trying to make their way out of poverty.” Over the years, Owlsey has had the chance to visit other countries and meet the people who create Latitudes’ boutique items. “It is amazing to meet the artisans,” he says. “I love being able to make a difference in their lives, and through the shop in Warrenton, local residents can help, too.”

Owsley appreciates the ways in which Latitudes’ customers have taken ownership in the shop. “They seem to think that it’s cool that little Warrenton has a shop like this, and they are eager to share it with their friends. Our customers generate a lot of energy for the store. We couldn’t have a better place for our shop.”

But Latitudes hasn’t been the only beneficiary of Owsley’s newfound free time. An April retirement coupled with uncertain plans meant that Owsley had the chance to devote his first few months of freedom to farming his family’s land. Owsley had been farming for over twenty years, taking brief breaks only when his growing family took precedence over growing crops. For the last eight years, Owsley has also operated a pumpkin patch that has grown by word of mouth, but he knew he could do more.

Today, he farms five of the ten acres on his property and grows corn, tomatoes, strawberries and much more. Last year, he and a neighbor sold these items at a roadside stand and supplemented what they weren’t able to grow successfully from other farmers.

Once the growing season ended, Terry planted a winter cover crop and turned his attention to opening the second Latitudes store in Fredericksburg.

Owsley’s 2015 plans are still up in the air. With two shops to co-manage and a five-acre farm to maintain, he is rethinking operating a full-scale farm, but does plan to have open a You-Pick operation from his 1,500 strawberry plants this summer.

When asked what Owsley misses about Sprint, he is quick to answer, “Nothing. It is exciting to set off on a new career and pursue passions: those that I’ve had for a long time and those that I have only recently discovered.”

Looking back over his life here in Fauquier County, Owsley feels that “there is no better place in the world to raise a family.

Our four kids have all gone through the Fauquier school system.

We have dedicated teachers and bright students. Our county has beautiful landscapes and a rich history. Farming my family’s land has become a spiritual experience for me. I feel renewed, strengthened and at peace when I am working the land.”

Owsley isn’t sure what the future holds. “The shop is our priority at this time,” he says, and so he is mulling over the idea of finding someone to farm the family land. But one thing is certain: having received so much from the Warrenton community over the years as he and Lee raised their family, Owsley is happy to spend his “retirement” paying it forward. Whether he is adding to the Warrenton economy through the shop on Main Street, or selling baskets of organically-grown tomatoes from his farm, Terry Owsley’s second act will be all about giving back.

Chicken Fever CHOOSING YOUR CHICKENS Types of Chickens There are many breeds and varieties of chickens to select from when assembling your new flock.

Broiler chickens are heavier and more muscled birds as they are specifically bred for meat content. They will produce eggs, but are not as consistent as the more refined egg laying hens.

Some breeds are considered dual purpose as they have a decent egg laying yield and are of substantial mass for slaughter.

Overall size should be taken into consideration when researching breeds, as variation does exist amongst

by Charlotte Wagner

different types. Standard birds weigh on average around 9lbs whereas miniature Bantam breeds may only be a quarter of the size. Naturally the larger chickens will lay regular sized eggs, whereas dwarfed breeds lay significantly smaller eggs.

Whether or not to incorporate a rooster into a flock is personal preference. Some people adore their beautiful coloration and physique while utilizing their guarding nature to protect their hens. For others,

however, roosters can be a total nightmare. Their defensive nature can turn to people-directed aggression, while crowing at the break of dawn and throughout the day can be a serious nuisance. Roosters often fight with one another, so stick with only one if making a purchase.

Laying Eggs Egg production varies greatly depending on breed, age, size, and individual characteristics of each bird. Chickens may begin laying eggs as early as 6 months and as late as 1 year of age. In it’s prime a chicken will lay one egg every 24-48 hours.

Egg production will however be more irregular due to birds molting, temperature fluctuation, nutrition deficits, shorter winter days, lack of regular light, and disease. Choose your chickens depending on your individual lifestyle and needs. The majority of

households keeping pet chickens do not require high egg laying yield and prefer to have a tame, yet hardy pet.

Acquiring Baby Chicks Local and corporate feed suppliers often carry newborn chicks throughout Spring and early Summer.

Their stock is purchased in large quantities from hatcheries that deliver chicks to the store right after hatching. In most cases a minimum number is required for purchase, so ensure you are able to keep just as many adult birds, or have alternate arrangements made for excess. You can also order online directly from select hatcheries who will mail your day old peeps via USPS. This option is ideal if you are looking to purchase a larger quantity and have select breeds in mind. An increasing trend is to take part in a “chicken swap”. There, locals get together and sell or trade chickens of their own breeding or stock. Similar to livestock markets you can browse, bid on, and select birds of your choice. This is an especially intriguing option for people looking to acquire older hens.

Raising Chicks For the first two weeks of life baby chicks have to be kept confined with a heat lamp, and full access to food and water. A converted bin,

trough, muck tub, or cage can easily be designed to suit your needs. Keep in mind placement of your heat lamp to avoid fire hazards or overheating the chicks. Ensure to feed a medicated starter diet specifically formulated for growing chicks in order to fend off and prevent parasites. When birds become more mature around 2 weeks of age, they can be transported outdoors.

Wait for the weather to be mild or warm before exposing them to their permanent location. If you have adult chickens and are looking to integrate your flock, ensure younger birds are nearly full grown to prevent bullying and fights. In this case you may need an intermediate enclosure. Hand feed, handle, and pet your birds as chicks so that they grow into confident and tame adult pets.

Chicken Health Parasites Both internal and external parasites may effect your chickens.

The key is to identify signs of infection, provide early intervention, and design a prevention plan for your flock. Internal parasites common in chickens include roundworm, caecal worms, thread worms, tape worms, and gape worms to name a few. External parasites include a variety of mites, lice, ticks.

Internal and external parasites can be controlled pharmaceutically through products form your local livestock supply retailer, as well as environmentally by maintaining, cleaning, and treating your flock’s living quarters.

Temperature Effects Prolonged exposure to high temperatures will cause over heating in your chickens. Ensure in summer months that coops have plenty of ventilation and that fresh water is readily accessible. In extreme heat consider providing a water mist option to help birds cool down

44

Heidi

and have plenty of shade accessible.

In colder months ensure coops are dry, well bedded, and off the ground.

Vaseline can be used on combs and feet to help insulation and prevent frostbite when birds are exposed to the outdoors.

Disease Many infections could potentially effect your flock, some of which may have an impact on overall herd health or individual birds. Common diseases that affect chickens include (but are not limited to): Rickets, Coccidiosis, Marek’s Disease, Mycoplasmosis, Avian Influenza, Colibacillosis, Fowl Cholera, and Fowl Pox. Most fowl have a very sensitive respiratory system making them prone to a whole variety of upper respiratory diseases. The main things to look for when questioning the health of your flock is: coughing, sneezing, head tilts, discharge, gasping, swelling, discoloration, scabbing, irregular stools, paralysis, and growth deficiencies. Vaccinations are available for some diseases, although practice in small pet flocks is less common than in large scale chicken farming.

Most disease is introduced through contaminated clothing, equipment, wild birds, or new chickens to a flock.

Housing Chicken Coops Housing can range from premium commercial products to makeshift DIY hutches. Whether you purchase a prefabricated coop or are feeling handy- here’s a few things to consider for your construction: • Ample room to fit your birds as adults Roosting materials so your chickens can perch • Nesting boxes that will accommodate adult size and number of hens to lay eggs • Ventilation to allow proper air flow and prevent upper respiratory issues • Easy access so that the house can be cleaned regularly • Predator proof doors, latches, and roof • Your birds will need a feeder, waterer, and plenty of clean bedding. Most commonly dust-free pine bedding or papered litter is used. Try to avoid cedar or harsh smelling substrates as it can agitate the respiratory system.

Outside Containment In contrast to large scale commercial farms, the majority of pet chickens are allowed some access to forage and exercise outside. If you are able to supervise your chickens and have low risk for predators, then true free range may be a viable option. However, for the majority of people in our area constructing an enclosed yard, pen, or run may be the safest. Assembling outside containment can be as easy as putting together a prefabricated dog run, hammering in t-posts with chicken or welded wire, or as complicated as building a fully predator proof fence with under ground wiring and roofing. Consider the layout of your yard, risk, and your other pets when making your installation.

Restrictions If you are thinking of investing in a flock, check with your local legislation and home owners association to ensure your property is preferably zoned and allows for chickens. Some areas have limits on numbers whereas others outright ban the keeping of poultry.

Further rules apply to the keeping of roosters as their early morning crowing is prohibited by some noise ordinances.

Keeping chickens can be a very rewarding experience. Ensure you have the correct containment, nutrition, supplies, and health plan in place before making your purchase. There are a number of fancy and exotic breeds to select from, but make sure you take hardiness, temperament, and size into consideration for your flock.

Raising chicks is a joyful experience for the whole family, yet purchasing adult birds is a viable alternative if you are uninterested in the early rearing.

Preventing Predation Predator control is vital for your flock as our area is also inhabited by coyotes, foxes, bob cats, raccoons, and various birds of prey. Homesteads that are already using guarding dogs for livestock management may be able to put their flock under canine patrol.

However creating a safe outdoor enclosure, locking free range birds up at night, and keeping feed indoors will help minimize risk for more suburban and urban homeowners.

Take your other pets into consideration as well as feral cats when setting up your flock.

RENEE’S GOURMET TO GO

A

tiny cottage in the heart of old town hosts a quaint French-influenced bistro, Renee’s Gourmet To Go offers locals an upscale twist on quick lunches. Simple and sophisticated this restaurant has served homemade soups, fresh salads, robust sandwiches and delicate desserts for over a decade.

Owner Renee Yount has created a warm atmosphere circulating with friendly staff, local chatter, heavenly aromas and soft music.

“It’s a “grab and go” pretty much, it cuts down on the wait time,” Yount mentioned. “People feel like they’re getting their food fast but it’s not fast food.”

Taking the idea of ‘to-go” the restaurant is set up for customers to self-serve the majority of the menu items. A large cold counter with vibrant green salads, fresh fruit and desserts; a table displays the soups du jour, a beverage corner with coffee, tea, lemonade, water and soft drinks; and a refrigerated cabinet that features neatly packed sandwiches and an assortment of quiches are available for easy accessibility.

Renee’s offers four garden fresh salads; the most popular is the House Salad topped with pecans, cranberries, blue cheese and balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The Garden, Classic Chicken Ceasar and Cobb round out the menu. Also available are salad platters like the Tarragon Chicken Salad and Tuna Salad.

Soups are a staple here with over 70 varieties served 57

throughout the year. Two soups are available each day like Sweat Pea and Mint, Lemon Chicken Artichoke and Sausage Lentil. Weekly recurrences are the Black Bean Chili on Thursdays and the She-Crab on Fridays.

“Black Bean Chili and She Crab are by far customers favorites,” Yount said about her soups. “I never rotate them, I have them every week.”

There are eighteen sandwiches on Renee’s menu. Chilled sandwiches are stacked in the refrigerated cabinet for pick-up, with the Egg Salad, the Tzatziki Veggy Wrap and the Turkey Wrap being most favored.

“The Smoked Turkey with Havarti and Cranberry Mayo is like Thanksgiving on a sandwich,” Yount laughed.

In addition to their cold sandwiches, they offer hot and madeto-order. Most notable are the Mango with turkey with Cheddar Cheese and a sweet mango chutney; the 3 Cheese Grilled Cheese; the Cubano with ham,

turkey, Swiss cheese and pickles; and the Rajun Cajun with turkey, Pepper Jack cheese, pepper jelly and onions.

Renee’s personal favorite is their Famous B.L.T. piled high with warm bacon.

Top off the afternoon with a little sweet, they regularly carry homemade desserts like Lemon Bars, Cheesecake Bars, Carrot Cake slices, and soft cookies.

Renee’s Gourmet To Go is located at 15 S 3rd Street near Frame Craft and Mt. Zion Baptist Church between Main and Lee St. They are open five days a week: Monday through Friday 11:00am to 3:00pm. Renee’s can also cater midday meetings, local luncheons and more with party platters and box lunches. For more information or to check out their menu please visit their website at www.reneestogo.com. Give them a call to hear the soups of the day or to place an order for pick up at (540) 341-2935.

SCHEDULE YOUR 3D MAMMOGRAPHY TODAY 3D mammography is an advanced, clinically proven technology designed for early breast cancer detection. During the 3D mammogram, multiple projections create a 3D image of your breast tissue. Your radiologist can see breast abnormalities in a way never before possible.

Fauquier Hospital is the only facility in the region to have the new low-dose technology available for 3D mammography; using the same radiation dose as a 2D mammogram. Research studies show that 3D mammography reduces callbacks for additional imaging by up to 16% and increases cancer detection by up to 40%.

Talk to your doctor about whether 3D mammography is right for you.

Once you have a physician’s order, please call (540) 316-5800 to schedule your mammogram appointment.
