FROM THE

publisher

PUBLISHER: Dennis Brack for Piedmont Publishing Group dennis@piedmontpub.com

A lot happens in a year. As our world and lives change ever faster, just a week can seem like a long time. By Friday, Monday is a distant memory. So the one year marker is significant. And it’s now been a year since I had the honor of becoming publisher of this magazine.

When our company purchased the Lifestyle magazines from founders Tony and Holly Tedeschi, I pledged to continue their mission of building a better community through information. The magazines don’t deliver “the news” per se — no crime and car wrecks here — but they do deliver news that can be more meaningful. Stories about the people, places, and businesses that make our communities unique are important. Thanks to our great staff and group of contributing writers and photographers, we’ve had the privilege of telling hundreds of these stories in the past year.

While the magazine’s mission has — and will always — remain firm, every healthy enterprise needs to evolve. This spring, we re-launched the magazine’s digital presence with a new mobile-friendly website, piedmontlifestyle.com. This destination provides access to all three of the Lifestyle magazines’ stories in a format that’s easier than ever to share on social media.

The magazines are also evolving in print, which remains healthy, thanks to

your readership and advertising support.

Starting next month, the Lifestyle imprint will expand to Gainesville. We’re excited to tell another community’s stories and provide an effective way for local businesses to reach customers through messaging that doesn’t get lost in the mix.

As part of this transition, Broad Run Lifestyle will fold back into the Warrenton magazine, where it started as an offshoot several years ago. We’ll continue to tell stories from The Plains, Marshall, Vint Hill, New Baltimore and the places between in Warrenton Lifestyle, which will be distributed at more than 30 shops and other locations in the Broad Run area.

As we embark on new ventures, our commitment to community journalism is stronger than ever. Thanks for your support.

Fauquier Health provides easy access for patients

edical and support professionals at Fauquier Health work hard to personalize, humanize, and demystify the patient experience.

One way to do that is for healthcare providers to proactively offer patients open access to their medical records while they are hospitalized.

BROAD RUN LIFESTYLE

www.fauquierhealth.org

The Planetree organization, a leader in patient-centered care, has conducted more than 20 years of focus groups; it found that patients who are given access to their medical charts are happier with their health providers. Research also says that patients who feel more in control of their own care are less

likely to report care coordination problems.

Fauquier Health is committed to making medical records available to patients because: • Patients want it.

• It demystifies healthcare.

• It helps to engage patients and family members in their own healthcare.

• It promotes quality and safety.

• It strengthens patient/provider relationships.

• It promotes shared decision making.

• It enhances patient satisfaction.

• It promotes continuity and coordination of care.

• It promotes an environment conducive to healing.

• It’s a patient’s right.

Fauquier Health supports a proactive approach to sharing a patient’s medical record during hospitalization and treatment. Patients are welcome to ask their nurse to show them their records and are encouraged to ask questions about anything they don’t understand.

For example, if a patient with an injury that results in acute blood loss requires a blood transfusion, the patient can view the lab values and vital signs that have been impacted. A nurse can show the patient how the blood is typed and crossmatched and explain the safeguards that are put in place – including two-person authentication and a careful step-by-step approach during the administration of blood. When patients have an understanding of their condition and the treatment options, they are equipped to make decisions about their own care.

Patients working in collaboration with staff on their plan of care create favorable outcomes and facilitate smooth transitions – to a skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation, or home care. Gone are the days when the patient is relegated to a passive role. It is crucial that a team of engaged nurses, physicians, support staff, patients, and patient support systems work together toward healing and health. ❖

SHOWDOWN

{ OCTOBER 2017 |

The Fauquier Health eChart is a free, secure, private program designed to enhance communication and coordination of care. It’s a platform where patients can access important health information related to their hospital stay or procedure. Patients who participate will have instant access to important information, including: • Procedures completed during a hospital stay • Vital signs taken during that stay • A list of current and past medical issues • Discharge instructions • A list of current medicines and medicine history • Laboratory test results • Radiology reports • Billing statements • Continuity of Care Documents (CCD)

SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT Patients can register for The Fauquier Hospital eChart at any time during or after their first visit to Fauquier Hospital.

During registration for that visit, the patient access representative will ask if you would like to sign up. If you do, they will ask for your email address and the system will send a unique patient code to your email.

If you would like to sign up in between hospital visits, go online to www.fauquierhealth.org and click on “Patient eChart,” then on “Create My New eChart Account” and then click on “Request an eChart Code.” Patients will then be able to set up an account with a username and password they select.

Reports and other information are posted between 30 hours and seven days after the reports are final or after an inpatient discharge.

You can sign up for an eChart for yourself, your child under the age of 10, or an adult for whom you have Power of Attorney (with proper signed documentation). You cannot sign up for or use an eChart of another adult (your adult “child,” spouse, domestic partner); however, there is a sharing feature within eChart that lets a user see information of those that have shared it from their eChart.

Children between the ages of 10 and 17 cannot use eChart due to limitations of the software and HIPAA law.

Fauquier Hospital will host a CHEF SHOWDOWN at 7 P.M. ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, in the Bistro on the Hill restaurant at the hospital. Professional chef David Martin will test his culinary skills against a guest chef. Both will be presented with four healthy ingredients. Their challenge is to produce dishes that highlight each of the foods. Spectators at the free event can taste the results. Register at fauquierhealth.org

A M A S T E R o f P R E S E R VAT I O N Jack LaMonica devotes his time and talent to chestnut trees, architecture and history

J

ack LaMonica’s lifelong passion took root when he was still a boy. As a 12-year-old, he went with his family to bring his older brother, Tony, to college at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. While there, LaMonica picked up a few chestnuts that had fallen from the Chinese Chestnut trees that were growing along the pathway.

With the chestnuts in his pocket, he returned home to plant them. The trees grew.

Although he was unaware of it at the time, at that tender age LaMonica had disproved the popular belief that chestnuts needed to be stratified prior to planting. The process of stratification, which simulates cold conditions, was believed to be necessary to result in germination. LaMonica’s trees proved that this process was not required to germinate a Chestnut tree.

Today, LaMonica is a well-known

and accomplished architect based out of Marshall. A graduate of Notre Dame University, LaMonica studied urban planning throughout major cities in Europe.

Drawing parallels between architects and surgeons, LaMonica reasons that an architect needs to know as much about a building’s association with its surroundings as a surgeon needs to understand how every part of the body is interconnected.

Enrolled in the Notre Dame Rome Program, students were taught a course in Christian archeology, by an architectarcheologist, which required field study.

Students gained first-hand extensive knowledge in architecture, archeology, theology, art, history, and culture. Coupled with a decade of work experience with William Dew, Jr., AIA, an architect in Middleburg, LaMonica honed those skills

BY AIMÉE O’GRADY

into practical application.

LaMonica has always enjoyed classical architecture. He finds himself drawn to historic preservation of homes built between 1860 and 1890. “These homes have structural redundancy seldom found today,” he explains. Clairmont, a home near Hume originally owned by the Green family, is one such structure. “This property had fallen out of the Green family for several decades, and had remained vacant for nearly 30 years.

By the time a Green cousin purchased it, bringing it back into the family, hunters had shot out most of the windows—it was an impressive house, with high ceilings and windows,” he says. Even a poorly attempted basement that caused the foundation to sag did not compromise the structure enough to make it unsalvageable: “We were able to preserve the structure because of the integrity

Above: LaMonica's passion for preservation has led him to work on various local projects, including the restoration of the 139-year-old Waterloo Bridge.

LaMonica’s father, Vincent, had a master’s degree in industrial arts and loved to work with wood. He enjoyed making furniture and had a passion for trees. LaMonica can remember planting new trees around the house when he was just a three-yearold toddler, years before he collected the Chinese chestnuts. This passion was passed on to LaMonica.

LaMonica’s preferred style of house is one that was built by the owners themselves, log homes in particular. In the 1980s, when LaMonica and his wife were looking for

His skill and interests have converged more than once. As past president of the Virginia Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation, LaMonica continued with his interest in the American chestnut tree.

Recently, he conducted research on the integrity of the species to see if it would be an optimal building material and potential alternative to treated wood. “American chestnut wood is soft, but extremely durable, and is rot-resistant, making it an ideal material to build with. The trees grow quickly, but their fast growth often causes the

LaMonica’s wife, Clelia, a physics teacher at the Mountain Vista Governor’s school in Warrenton, occasionally consults Jack for student research projects. Another convergence of interests occurred for her when one of her students expressed an interest in a project on wood testing. At the time, the foundation was culling orchards, which provided a source of wood for the student. “The results of her research will be published and offer a better understanding of the present-day integrity of the wood and its potential uses once they are reintroduced in nature,” says LaMonica, who is assisting with the student’s work.

The research will validate what LaMonica already knows about the durability of American chestnut wood, since his own log home was built with it nearly 150 years ago. Furthermore, a Civil War-era wooden home, also made from American chestnut wood from a tree that once stood on Main Street in Marshall, was salvaged by LaMonica. He has plans to reassemble it as an addition to his existing home. “I wanted to purchase the property, but it faced many regulatory obstacles. The family grew frustrated and scheduled to have the house torn down.

I happened to drive by as it was coming down and jumped out of my car with my checkbook and bought Above: According to VDOT's website, the Waterloo bridge project "proposes to restore the historic Waterloo bridge and return it to service."

Endurance sports may also improve overall energy levels by facilitating cardiovascular health and improved sleep. What’s more, exercising helps combat heart disease, cancer, dementia, stroke, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

One of the reasons endurance sports have seen such incredible growth in recent years is that so little is needed in order to get started.

The first step is as simple as taking a first step.

1

START EASY

Before beginning a new type of exercise, it’s always wise to consult with a physician to make sure you don’t have any underlying physical conditions that need to be addressed as you undertake a new endeavor. After that, start easy. If you’re not currently engaging in any physical activity, try a 10 to 20 minute walk.

By keeping it short and simple you make it easier to develop a habit and less likely to be discouraged by the difficulty level.

Digital applications like Strava and Zwift allow athletes to interact with their peers all over the world in online environments.

It’s particularly valuable to create relationships with those experts in real life, as their advice is often more reliable than what you might find online.

Entering into an endurance sport can be challenging, but the returns are great. Start slow, stick with it, and and enjoy the benefits. ❖

the post office sodlier

Built in the early 20th century, the post office sits at the intersection of Warrenton’s original cross roads which dated to the later 18th century. Originally, the post office building was used as an Army recruiting office and has been reported to have its own ghostly tales.

In the early 2000s, in the business across the street that is today Shelf Life, an

employee was working late one evening and happened to look out across the street. He saw a young man standing on the steps of the post office, looking anxious as he paced back and forth.

After a few minutes, he ran up the stairs of the post office and into the building.

The observer noticed the man’s clothing was out of date and appeared to be an old-fashioned uniform; he wore a green, wool jacket with matching pants. The employee’s curiosity got the better of him. He left the shop and crossed the street

to the post office to see if the young man needed help.

Upon entering the vacant building, which had been closed for several hours, he

was surprised to find he was alone. The young soldier was nowhere to be found.

Maggie Lovitt, Curator at the Old Jail Museum, has seen the young man as well.

“Shopping for a birthday gift in Shelf Life, I happened to see a young man dressed in uniform on the steps of the Post Office during the day. I assumed he was a reenactor waiting for someone, and didn’t give him much thought.”

Today, the tales suggest the man continues to wait for his orders outside the recruiting office. If you like a man in uniform, open a box at the Warrenton post office.

skeletons in the closet

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is a fraternal order that was founded in 1819, similar to the Freemasons. The Warrenton Odd Fellows Lodge, dating to 1877, is situated on the corner of 5th Street and Main Street.

In 2001, a contractor was in the building to repair overloaded electrical circuits. As he searched for the circuit box, he happened upon a door between two walls. He entered the small space, thinking the circuits may be inside, and found a cloth on the ground. Upon lifting the cloth, he was shocked to find skeletal remains.

Following an investigation, it was determined that the remains belonged to a woman who was about 5 feet 1 inch tall and dated back to the late

19th century. Her jaw, an arm, and a leg bone were missing. During the time of her death, it was not uncommon for organizations to purchase cadavers from catalogs through the mail.

“her remains were returned to their resting p l a c e, between the wa l l s, w h e r e they still l i e t o d a y.”

Perhaps her remains were purchased by the order for rituals that were supposedly practiced at that time. The truth was never released to the public; the police were sworn to never share why the remains were there.

After the investigation, her remains were returned to their resting place, between the walls, where they still lie today.

Left: The Odd Fellows building was sold by the town of Warrenton in 1847 to Charity Lodge 27 of the Odd Fellows. The lot was known as the “Market House” lot and included the first floor of the brick building.

The Odd Fellows and Masons shared the second floor space. In 1854, Miss Harriet Swift used the first floor of the Odd Fellows’ Hall as a girls’ school.

Below (top): The Fauquier Female Institute was opened in 1857 as a boarding school for girls and operated until 1925.

One of the building’s most famous boarders was General Douglas MacArthur who visited his aunt at the boarding school in the late 1880s. In the 1980s the property was converted into an assisted living facility and today it serves as an apartment building. Current renters have recounted hearing footsteps in empty apartments and doors will open and close on their own. Perhaps these strange occurrences are the actions of boarders who never left the institute.

A well-respected Warrenton man, after whom a street was named, Dr. Gustavus Richard Brown Horner cared for residents in Warrenton and the surrounding countryside in the late 18th century.

However, in 1795, Dr. Horner’s patients would enter his office, but not leave. Suspicions rose until the mysterious death of Horner’s own son. An investigation ensued, accusations were pronounced, and even his own assistant confirmed that the doctor poisoned his patients. But suddenly, the charges were dropped and no arrests made. The unfortunate patients of Dr. Horner are reportedly still walking today on the street that bears his name.

Latham & Green General Merchandise (pictured below) was originally housed in the building at the corner of Main Street and Culpeper Street (where Allegro Community School of the Arts is today). This

structure survived the 1909 fire, and families used to live upstairs above the store. Various mentions throughout history reveal some creepy, out-ofordinary experiences in this dwelling. There are mentions specifically of a presence of a young girl that “plays” with the dolls in the building, as well as footsteps and banging noises. ❖

Previously the Fauquier Female Institute, this architectural standout (pictured above) is still in existence today.

Originally, this building served as a local all-girls boarding school. During less successful years, the institution allowed student boarders from outside the area to enroll. Several stories throughout the decades reveal noises and strange occurrences from footsteps to doors shutting on their own accord.
