Warrenton-area farm eyed for Muslim retreat site By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is seeking a special permit from Fauquier County officials to hold four events a year on a 515-acre site the group is hoping to purchase near Catlett. The site is spread across seven parcels near Meetze and Turkey Run roads. The AMC, based in Silver

Spring, Maryland, has a contract to purchase the land to host a single annual gathering – a Jalsa Salana – for up to 5,000 Muslim faith believers, which is held in the summer. The group is also seeking to host three smaller events at the site a year, drawing a maximum of 1,000 people, according to paperwork filed with the county. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has held its Jalsa Salana

gathering at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg for the past 15 years. For 10 years before that, the event was held at the Dulles Expo Center in Virginia. “Jalsa Salana is an annual threeday, family-oriented event which includes prayer, speakers, food and fellowship,” explains supporting material filed with the application. The events are typically held Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “Alcohol

is prohibited and there is no music associated with the event,” the application states. The AMC plans to erect temporary structures for the events. Parking and areas of activity will be setback from adjoining properties. Carpooling and shuttles from local lodging will reduce vehicular traffic, according to the application.

The road to the Manassas National Battlefield Park is closed due to the partial federal government shutdown.

Worries mount as partial shutdown drags on By Karen Chaffraix, James Ivancic and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers

Virginia has the second-most federal employees of any state: 144,295. Source: Office of Personnel Management

The partial government shutdown was set to hit Day 19 Wednesday, making it the second-longest on record. But to the thousands of federal employees in Northern Virginia either furloughed at home or working

without pay, Friday will mark the real milestone: the first payday lost to the political impasse. As David Larrimore put it, that’s when “things are going to get ugly.” Larrimore, a nine-year veteran of

the federal workforce, has weathered government shutdowns before. This is actually the third of his career. But if the government doesn’t reopen by Jan. 11, it will mark the first time the IT manager and father of three will be forced to go without a paycheck because of political dysfunction. “That’s when the stress is really

going to kick in,” he said, noting he and his wife will likely have to figure out which bills must be paid and which can wait until the government reopens – whenever that might be. “Saturday is D-day for a lot of us,” he added. “This Saturday, everything changes.” See SHUTDOWN, Page 6

Supervisors mull drought ordinance, wellness retreat By James Ivancic

Fauquier County Board of Supervisors public hearings

Times Staff Writer

Rainfall has been in plentiful in recent months, but Fauquier County wants to prepare for the day when it might have to prod those served by public water systems to limit their water use. A proposed “Fauquier County Drought Ordinance” would empower the county to urge people to voluntarily limit water use or mandate restrictions of water supplied by the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority. Those on private wells would not be affected. Anyone not complying with a mandatory water restriction could be fined $250 for each day of noncompliance. There wouldn’t be a penalty if somebody doesn’t abide by a voluntary compliance request to conserve water, explained Tracy Gallehr, deputy county attorney. This ordinance is a first for the county and something the state is requiring, Gallehr explained. The board of county supervisors will hold a public hearing on the drought ordinance when the group of five convenes for a regular session at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. State code requires that counties have a water-supply plan that is approved by the state water control board, plus a way to deal with

the customer requests it. Ice-making machines in hotels couldn’t be used and swimming pools couldn’t be filled or topped off. Nurseries would have to rely on hand-held water cans or hoses. The county administrator would have the power to grant a waiver of restrictions, after consultation with the “drought team,” whose members would include the town manager or designee from Warrenton, Remington and The Plains, the WSA’s executive director, the county fire/rescue chief and district director of the state health department.

Twin Oakes, a home near Airlie, is being considered as the site of a wellness treatment center for people recovering from addiction. drought conditions. The proposed ordinance defines drought warning, drought watch and drought emergency. The county administrator – consulting with the WSA – will establish a schedule of designated outdoor water use days to wash cars, water lawns and wash driveways, streets, parking lots and building exteriors during conservation periods. The county administrator would be the one to declare a drought watch or warning. The supervisors can approve a declaration

that a “drought situation” exists if conditions are more severe. A declaration of a drought emergency by county supervisors would result in mandatory water restrictions, including prohibiting sprinkler or irrigation system use, washing of vehicles except for facilities using recycled water and washing of streets, lots, building exteriors. Also, ornamental fountains, waterfalls and reflecting ponds couldn’t be operated. Drinking water in restaurants would be allowed only if

Wellness retreat for addiction

The supervisors on Thursday will also hold a public hearing on a request for a special exception allowing a residential “wellness retreat” for up to 24 persons recovering from addiction. The Herren Wellness Retreat at Twin Oaks would occupy an existing single-family dwelling and guest house at 6791 James Madison Highway near Warrenton. The county planning commission last month approved a recommendation that the supervisors approve the special exception. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com.

Woodbridge man seeks GOP nod in 31st District delegate race By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

D.J. Jordan of Woodbridge announced on Tuesday he will seek the Republican nomination to win back for his party the 31st District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates now held by Democratic Del. Elizabeth Guzman. The 31st District includes parts of Prince William and Fauquier counties. Jordan, a former chairman of the Virginia State Board of Social Services, said in a statement he has the support of former delegate Scott Lingamfelter, a Republican who represented the 31st District from 2002 until he was defeated by Guzman in 2017. Guzman is seeking re-election. Jordan also said he has the support of Del. Michael Webert, 18th District, who represents part of Fauquier County. If elected, Jordan said he wants to help people find quality jobs, support children in foster care,

encourage responsible fatherhood, ensure assistance goes to those truly in need, ensure anti-poverty programs lead to self-sufficiency, support innovation and small businesses and promote educational opportunity. “This campaign is not about me, but rather D.J. Jordan about the people of this community and the role of state government in our everyday lives,” Jordan said in a press release. “All Virginians deserve a state government that supports our basic freedoms and equal opportunity to succeed.” All 100 state House of Delegate seats and all 40 state Senate seats are on the ballot in November. The House of Delegates currently has a 51-49

Republican majority. All 100 members are elected for two-year terms. Jordan was born and raised in the Tidewater, Virginia, area. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from Liberty University and played on the football team as a student-athlete. He also earned a master’s in public Management from Johns Hopkins University. Jordan held jobs on Capitol Hill and worked for CNN and Fox News. He currently works for a public relations firm in Alexandria. Jordan is a volunteer with the Prince William County Fatherhood Initiative and an alternate on the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission. He also serves on the board of directors of Virginia’s Kids Belong, a nonprofit that helps foster children. Jordan and his wife, Glorya, have four children, and have fostered and also adopted from foster care. They live in the Winding Creek Estates neighborhood in Woodbridge and are members of Move Church in Lake Ridge.

MUSLIM RETREAT, from Page 1

Headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland, Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA operates 73 chapters nationwide, including America’s oldest mosque, established in 1921 in Chicago, according to its website. Ahmadiyya Muslims believe in the messiah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) (1835-1908) of Qadian. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad founded the AMC in 1889 as a revival movement within Islam, emphasizing its essential teachings of peace, love, justice and sanctity of life, its website states. Today, the AMC is the world’s largest Islamic community under one divinely appointed leader, His Holiness the Khalifa of Islam, Mirza Masroor Ahmad aba. The AMC spans over 200 nations with membership exceeding tens of millions, according to its website. The AMC “categorically rejects terrorism” and endorses the separation of mosque and state, its website states.

A traffic-control plan will be developed to minimize traffic on Meetze Road, which fronts the property. AMC is also proposing to bring in portable toilets and to use wells and/or portable tanks for water, the application states. Erecting signs isn’t proposed.

Frances Shipe celebrates 100 with friends By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Longtime Fauquier resident Frances Shipe turned 100 years old last week, and her family and friends surprised her with a gathering at the Bistro in Fauquier Hospital the next day. Shipe was born in Charlottesville on January 2, 1919. “My mother brought me here when I was about 4 years old,” the former legal secretary said. The centenarian raised two sons here, Mac and Steve, now

70 and 67, she said. Her sons live nearby and “look after her,” said longtime friend Sherry Miller, who attended the event with many who know Shipe from Warrenton Baptist Church, at 5th and Main streets. Shipe was in the first graduating class of Fauquier High School on Waterloo Street in 1937, Shipe said. “She likes to travel; we’ve gone on many trips together,” Miller said. “Oh, and she likes to quilt,” added Malcolm McIntyre. McIntyre had

been in charge of bringing 100 cupcakes. “They’re from Knakal’s Bakery in Culpeper; cheaper there, and just as good.” Shipe and her friends often meet at the Bistro on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 4:30 and 6 p.m. where a full dinner for a senior costs $5.47. And so, how does it feel to be 100? Shipe chuckled. “Actually, no different.” According to a 2012 United Nations report, there are (or were) 316,600 centenarians worldwide.

Fauquier County teachers honored Local teacher honored by Fauquier Historical Society

Kettle Run teacher named Virginia Outstanding Biology Teacher

By Karen Chaffraix

Richard Deardoff, who taught history in Fauquier County public schools for 40 years, has been named the Douglas Lamborne Educator of the Year by the Fauquier Historical Society. He will receive the award next week at the Society’s annual meeting in Warrenton. Deardoff taught economics, sociology, Civil War history and government for 34 years at Fauquier High School and for six years after that at Kettle Run. Prior to settling in Fauquier, the Flushing-Queens, New York, native spent four years post-college in the Coast Guard. Deardoff told the Historical Society he chose Fauquier County due to its proximity to historical assets he wanted to explore. In addition to teaching, Deardoff spent summers combing Civil War battlefields. Now retired, he is a docent and battlefield guide for Brandy Station Foundation. Brandy Station is the site of the largest cavalry battle in North America of June 9, 1863, according to the Historical Society. The Historical Society said that Deardoff is only the third recipient of the award, established in 2016 to honor “one who has added to the education of history pertaining to Fauquier County.” Prior winners

The National Association of Biology Teachers named Kettle Run High School teacher Linda Correll the 2018 recipient of the Outstanding Biology Teacher Award for Virginia. The association recognizes an outstanding biology educator for grades 7-12 from each of the 50 states based on his or her teaching ability and experience, cooperativeness in the school and community, and student-teacher relationships. “I am ridiculously excited and honored,” Correll said. “I’m so happy to represent Fauquier County, and this award is a direct result of the encouragement and professional freedom I’ve had here at FCPS and Kettle Run to try new things and grow as a teacher.” Correll was recognized on Nov. 10 at the NABT Professional Development Conference in San Diego, along with the 49 other OBTA recipients. OBTA recipients receive gift certificates from Carolina Biological Supply Company, resources from other sponsors, award certificates and a complimentary one-year membership from NABT. “It was incredible being around so many passionate and talented biology teachers,” Correll said. “The sessions were informative and engaging, and I brought home lots of new ideas to try!” The 2018-19 school year is Correll’s 12th year teaching and her third year at Kettle Run High. “I’m a bit of a reptile/amphibian enthusiast and genetics nerd, and I love interacting with scientists on Twitter and sharing the awesome-

The Educator of the Year award is named for the late Douglas Lamborne, a newspaperman and teacher who led Fauquier High School education programs and served on its board. Deardoff said that he has taught generations of students in the county, and that often former students come up to him to introduce him to their children. The newly announced award recipient said he spent this past summer hiking the Lewis and Clark Trail with his dog, Max.

In May, Correll was named a finalist for the Superintendent’s Innovation Award, receiving $375 from Apple Federal Credit Union Educational Foundation. She also received $2,750 from Toshiba for the purchase of six MiniONE DNA Gel Electrophoresis chambers and a MiniONE PCR unit, which biology and AP biology students will use these to copy, visualize and compare DNA samples in class. “My biggest sources of support have been my family (especially my very understanding husband who puts up with my schedule and crazy ideas), my friends, my principal, Meaghan Brill, my science supervisor, Nikki Jenkins, and Fauquier County – a wonderful county where I’m always encouraged to be creative and try new things,” Correll said.

Worries mount as partial shutdown drags on SHUTDOWN, from Page 1

For immediate, sympathetic help

As the partial government shutdown dragged into a third week, county officials and nonprofits poised to help began preparing for the eventual fallout. Fauquier FISH issued a press release to let affected workers know their services are available to those who need them. FISH is an acronym: “for immediate, sympathetic help.” Charity Furness, who serves on the organization’s board of directors, said the group realizes federal employees – or contractors affected by the shutdown – usually have stable, well-paying jobs and might not know how to ask for help.

Sheriff’s office: Man shot during burglary in The Plains A suspected burglar was shot at a residence in The Plains last week, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to a home on the 4900 block of Old Tavern Road, near Great Meadow, at 10:24 p.m. on Jan. 2 to investigate reports of a burglary in progress, Sgt. James Hartman, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said in a news release. Several callers reported that gunshots had been fired, Hartman said. When deputies arrived they found that the front door of the residence had been kicked in. Occupants of the home reported that a short man wear-

ing a mask had entered through the door, according to the news release. “One of the occupants of the residence fired several gun shots at the man who then fled on foot,” Hartman said in the news release. Deputies identified a suspect after learning of a “recent altercation between the homeowner and a male acquaintance,” Hartman said. Authorities searched the area with a K-9 unit and a Fairfax County Police helicopter. The K-9 led authorities to an area near Old Tavern Road and Old Winchester Road, where a Virginia State trooper observed a suspicious vehi-

cle, according to the news release. An occupant of the vehicle was identified as a suspect and was detained. Sheriff’s deputies also searched Old Tavern Road on foot and located a second suspect in the ditch line, according to the news release. That suspect, identified as Matthew Darolyn Hawkes, 39, of Marshall, was taken into police custody. Hawkes was suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg and was taken via helicopter to a hospital for treatment. Hawkes is charged with burglary at night while armed, conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to

commit abduction and wearing a mask in public. Police determined that the other suspect was a co-conspirator who assisted in the planning and execution of the burglary,” Hartman said in the news release. George Cornelius Grant, 39, of Marshall, is charged with conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to commit abduction and violation of a protective order. Grant was held with no bond at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center. No injuries were reported by the homeowner or occupants. The investigation is ongoing.

Board approves new garage with solar panels in historic district By Robin Earl

Contributing Writer

A historic home in Warrenton has received approval for a modern upgrade. Warrenton’s Architectural Review Board voted Dec. 27 to allow homeowner Walter Hitchcock to build a detached garage with solar panels on his property at 127 Culpeper St. The accessory building will have wooden doors with cedar trim. Hitchcock said the windows in the garage will be made of restored glass panes rescued from a 100-year-old home on Route 211. “My house is 200 years old. I thought this deserved 100-year-old

windows,” he said. Solar panels are unusual but not unheard of in the historic district, according to interim Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer. The town’s historic district guidelines state: “Solar panels are not compatible to historic or contributing buildings and will not be approved on them.” But ARB member Virginia Gerrish pointed out that since the solar panels on Hitchcock’s garage would be on the back of the building – and not visible from the public right of way – the project was not contrary to ARB requirements. Shaeffer said a home in the historic district on Winchester Street

received a permit for solar panels on an addition, because like in the Hitchcock project, they could not be seen from the public right-of-way. Hitchcock has lived on Culpeper Street for 40 years. ARB documents explained the historic and architectural significance of his home: “The existing house is a circa-1816 example of early 19th century Federal architecture. Built by Thomas L. Moore and owned by Lucien Keith in 1908 (a mayor of Warrenton and later a member of Virginia Senate). This is one of the most important buildings in the district and adds greatly to the architectural diversity of style along Culpeper Street.”

Engineering Student Overcomes Hurdles and Thrives at LFCC By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College WARRENTON, VA – With the support of his family, his LFCC colleagues and the $3,500 Philip May Endowed Scholarship for Engineering, student Trevor Waite has been able to overcome serious setbacks and thrive Waite’s father, David, died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, in October 2016, just a few months after Trevor graduated from Kettle Run High School. More challenges presented themselves when a windstorm tore the roof off the Waite family home last March, and then another storm in May caused severe water damage. So, Trevor was very relieved to learn he’d been awarded the May Endowed Scholarship. “The scholarship has lifted many of my worries, not only about attending college, but also repairing my house,” he says. “With the scholarship helping to pay for my tuition and books, my family has been able to put

more money towards repairing the storm damage.” A former member of the Virginia House of Delegates – and current candidate for the Virginia Senate’s 33rd District seat – Joe May has admitted “not distinguishing himself academically” as a high school student. However, following three years in the U.S. Army, he was admitted into Virginia Tech, a turning point for him. With a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering, May and his wife, Bobby, founded Electronic Instrumentation and Technology in 1977. Now a $48-million-a-year company, it has more than 250 employees and does business in dozens of countries. May was once described as “having more patents than any member of the General Assembly since Thomas Jefferson.” Like May, Trevor is studying electrical engineering and plans to transfer to Virginia Tech following his graduation in 2020. His father was an inspiration to him.

“My fellow Student Ambassadors and our advisor, Chris Lambert, have supported me from the moment they heard about what happened.” “He had several degrees from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and always pushed me to go to college,” Trevor says. “He is the main reason for my interest in engineering and my fascination with how the world works.” A member of the Phi Theta Kappa national honor society, Waite also serves as a Student Ambassador. “I really like the Student Ambassadors program,” he says. “It’s great helping to organize events and seeing how things are run, and just interacting with the community.”

And, while it’s not always easy to stay focused on studies, Trevor says he has been helped in that endeavor by the “amazing support” he has received from those around him. “My family has pushed me to ensure my studies go well, and to help with the home repairs afterwards,” he says. “My fellow Student Ambassadors and our advisor, Chris Lambert, have supported me from the moment they heard about what happened and have been vital in giving me a place to de-stress with friends, while at the same time allowing me to support the college and other students in our roles as Student Ambassadors.” LFCC came highly recommended by his mother, Joanne, who has taken classes at the college, and now Waite says he would encourage others to enroll. Waite has found Lord Fairfax more personal than expected. He says the college has increased his sense of community – when Waite is out at stores, he recognizes some of the workers as students from LFCC and

They will interact with you and help you through the classes. My favorite class is math with Professor Jeremiah Dyke. He’s wonderful and has definitely made college even better!”

LFCC Health Professions Advisor Relates as a Nurse and a Former Patient By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College WARRENTON, VA – Nancy Groves brings a wealth of experience to the healthcare professions students she advises. Prior to her part-time work at the Fauquier Campus beginning in July 2015 – she has been full time for about six months now – Groves had been a homeschooling mom, a registered nurse and a businesswoman. An economics major when she graduated from what is

now the University of Mary Washington, Groves spent a number of years working in human resources in the corporate world. But, the nursing field was calling her. When she was a young teenager, Groves spent about six weeks in the Georgetown University Hospital. At the time, she wasn’t too sure what was wrong with her, but she did notice that “the nurses were wonderful.” “It just impacted me greatly, and I wanted to be able to have that impact on someone else who may be going through a traumatic time in their life,” she says. As she decided to pursue a nursing career, Groves called the hospital to ask for her medical records to get a better understanding of why she had been hospitalized. She had been diagnosed with Hodgkins disease, a form of lymphatic cancer. Groves, then 13, had been scheduled for a tonsillectomy, when a routine

pre-operative X-ray and a followup CAT scan showed she had a tumor. “When they opened me up, the tumor wasn’t there,” Groves says. “My parents called it a miracle. While I was recovering in the cancer unit, some of the patients didn’t make it.” As she later assessed her life working in the business world, she decided to “take the leap” and enroll in the registered nursing program at Northern Virginia Community College. She graduated in 1993, and worked at Alexandria Hospital, now Inova Alexandria Hospital, before getting married and transitioning into full-time motherhood. Groves’s son, Stephen, is graduating from LFCC in May

“I bring real-life experience to it. I really love working with the students.”

and is applying to four-year universities, with the plan to study biology. Her daughter, Lauren, has recently graduated from Liberty University, where she studied strategic communications. As her children were transitioning to college, Groves turned to LFCC’s website to see if there were any nursing refresher courses. That’s when she discovered there was a need for a part-time health professions advisor, applied and was hired. Groves advises students interested in pursuing pre-nursing courses, as well as surgical technology, dental hygiene, emergency medical services, phlebotomy and other healthcare professions. “It helps that I have actually worked in the healthcare field,” she says. “I bring real-life experience to it. I really love working with the students. They’re kind of like an extension of my kids, and I’m trying to help them navigate their way.”

Nancy Groves Groves finds that advising students reminds her of her nursing days. “You’re with people at a vulnerable time in their lives, and you can be that support, or helping hand,” she says. “I really enjoy working with the students – it’s so gratifying. It’s really a privilege.” Groves is highly regarded among students, says Fauquier Campus Dean Caroline Wood. “They actively seek her out,” she says. “She’s student focused and detail oriented, which is especially helpful when it comes to the health professions programs with selective admissions.”

Shutdown’s true effect: A lot of waste Although our National Parks, including nearby Manassas National Battlefield Park, have remained mostly accessible to visitors during the partial government shutdown, which has now stretched into a third week, the sites are not staffed and have struggled with, among other things, mounting trash. That’s not surprising. Visitors tend to tote food and drinks into the parks and thus usually have containers to toss before they leave. Without someone to empty the trash cans regularly, the garbage piles up. Some of that trash was cleaned up OUR VIEW this past week, thanks to hardworking volunteers who responded to pictures in the media of unsightly waste spilling out of receptacles and into the parks. But trash – or really, waste – seems an apt metaphor for the debacle that is the partial government shutdown. As President Donald Trump and Democratic members of Congress fight over funding for a border wall, tens of thousands of government employees have stayed home – for weeks now – without the ability to do their jobs, most of which are a lot more impactful to the American people than the task of picking up the trash. So, what hasn’t gotten done since the about one-third of the government shut down on Dec. 22? We live in a region chock full of federal workers, so it’s easy enough to find out. Next time you’re at a gathering with federal employees or federal contractors, ask the question: What important work did they leave behind when they were told to pack up their things on the day before Christmas Eve? You’ll likely hear about the true cost of wasted days and weeks: Experiments and research that could now be ruined or compromised because no one has attended to them; investigations into suspected white-collar crimes left hanging because much of the Department of Justice has been furloughed; questions about for Social Security or disability benefits or taxes that have remained unanswered in administrators’ email boxes. In short, the partial federal shutdown has wasted a lot of time and money. Even if federal workers do receive back pay for the paycheck they’ll likely miss Friday (which is not guaranteed) there’s no making up for the time they’ve lost due to the political stalemate. What a waste. As a small weekly newspaper, we won’t venture into a position on whether the country needs to spend $5 billion on a border wall. That’s largely an ideological argument, and we’re unlikely to change any minds either way. But we will reiterate a point that’s been made in several press reports this week: That the shutdown in itself has likely cost taxpayers more than the amount the president wants for the wall.

When will President Donald Trump be stopped? We are horrified at the idea of President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency to build a wall which is clearly no needed on the southern border. This is dictatorial and anti-American. There is no national emergency. What he should address is the millions of prosperous Americans demanding and spending millions (perhaps billions) of dollars on illegal drugs to feed their dependencies. It is ruining the lives of both Americans and people south of the border, who are being threatened by the drug cartel members. Donald Trump obviously doesn’t care about America or freedom. His ego is paramount. It seems he would like to do away with the power of Congress entirely and rule as a dictator like his pals Kim Jung-un and Vladimir Putin. He is hurting the USA by his partial government shutdown over the issue of this wall

and his demand that at least 420,000 citizens work for no pay and about 380,000 are furloughed while giving his cronies a $10,000 pay raise. When is there going to be an end put to his insanity and hatred of our country and its laws and democracy and common decency? There is no reasonable explanation why this madness is being allowed. Why the reluctance to impeach him? Why haven’t impeachment proceedings started? President Clinton was impeached for sexual impropriety in one instance while Donald Trump has laughingly admitted to his abuse and hatred of women. Why is this behavior being condoned? Could it be that we are missing something? Catherine E. Goin Warrenton Adrienne M. Payette Bealeton

What’s past can be prologue From time to time Virginia’s leaders have taken pride in what they call the Virginia Way. The message from that has been that our leaders in Richmond would govern in a manner that is responsible and bipartisan. This promises a welcome contrast to the horror show currently taking place at the federal level. Governor Northam has proposed many good ideas to use the state revenue windfall expected from last year’s federal tax legislation. As a retired advocate for education and public employees, I like much of what he wants to do. But there’s more that must be considered in this process. The impact of new federal tax policy on Virginia taxpayers leaves our standard deductions too low at the state level, and the requirement

that we match our choice between standard or itemized deductions on both returns will hurt many seniors and homeowners. This problem needs to be solved right now. Tax filing season is around the corner. We have divided government in Richmond and 2019 is a legislative election year, so the temptation for political games exists. What we need now is a renewed commitment to the Virginia Way. Let’s urge our leaders to forge a bipartisan solution that’s fair to the broadest possible population of the Commonwealth. It’s the right thing to do. Bill Hosp Woodbridge former president of Prince William Federation of Teachers

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” In the year 2019, this seems a pretty benign statement, and yet here in Virginia, the issue is still in in doubt. In my mind, the question is “which side of history are we Virginians going to be on?” We have seen in the news and on the editorial pages of our papers the resurgent push for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment here in Virginia. In fact, the Virginia Senate has passed the amendment in 2011, ’12, ’14, ’15 and ’16. It is only our House of Delegates that still has to ratify. They should do so this session. Yes, there are legal questions about whether the amendment has been rescinded by other states, and whether the deadline for passage by 1982 is enforceable. Those are issues for the Court, not for the Virginia legislature, to decide. Our state attorney general released a letter indicating the door is still open for Congress to remove the deadline and count ratifications happening now. Only one more state is needed. Nevada and Illinois ratified the Amendment in 2017 and 2018. Virginia should do the same. Our local legislators have varying opinions about passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Republican Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel has supported passage in the past, voting yes in 2016. Democrat Del. Elizabeth Guzman has promised to support the amendment this year. Republican Del. Mark Cole, whose committee will initially address the issue, says he is against the amendment, while Republican Del. Michael

Webert is undecided. Mr. Webert says that he is studying the issue, and I know he has received visits from local nonpartisan groups such as the Fauquier County League of Women Voters. I urge him to consider and agree with what his constituents are saying. I believe families will be strongest when women, who are the primary or only breadwinners for 40 percent of families with children under age 18, have full constitutional rights. Eighty-one percent of Virginians support the Equal Rights Amendment, according to a recent poll by the Wason Center at Christopher Newport University. Elected officials, if true to their oaths, are obligated to respect and reflect the wishes of their constituents. Otherwise they’re not worth the paper their ballots were cast on. Bravery, not fear, is supposed to drive the decisions of this nation. Turn away from those who would make you fearful. Turn towards those who inspire our best selves. That is our future as a country. I urge all citizens to contact their elected representatives and make your feelings known. Contact Mr. Webert and urge him to vote yes. Contact Mr. Cole, and urge him to let the issue go to the full House of Delegates for a vote. I am a 63-year-old white male and it’s plain to me that the right thing to do is pass the ERA. My only question is whether Virginia will be on the right side of history on this issue.

God was with me this morning, Dec. 31, 2018, as I was on my way to work around 8:30 a.m., traveling down Old Dumfries Road. I got behind a trash truck and noticed the top of the truck hit a tree limb. Then I heard a big boom, so I looked in my rearview mirror and saw a big tree across the road, just behind me. I felt a few branches hit my car as I pulled up some and stopped to check for damages. When I got out of my car, I heard a woman’s voice asking if I was all right. The boom was so loud the lady and her husband heard it from their barn on Elmwood Farm. They

thought it was an accident. This past summer I saw VDOT along with Asplunder trimming trees along some of Fauquier County’s roads. I thought that’s what they were going to do, trim trees away from power lines and those that were hanging across the roads, but they missed a lot. This was scary for me as I thought it was also bringing down the power line as it was swinging. With all this rain, trees are coming down and hope no one has an accident or gets hurt.

I like to walk my dog, just like many of you. I enjoy a walk alone, just like many of you. I don’t jog, but many of you do. When you make the decision to walk, run, bike, hike, skip, dance, sing in the rain, or whatever floats your boat, please do so wearing clothing that makes you visible to those driving. Hold a flashlight, put a blinky collar on your dog(s), put a blinky light on you, wear a reflective vest, string holiday lights about your person…make yourself seen! In the past two evenings, when leaving our neighborhood, I’ve come much too close to striking a human being with an automobile than I ever care to. The first was a woman crossing near Semington Road and Timber

Fence Parkway. She was in the crosswalk, however she was wearing a long navy coat, dark hat, dark pants and dark gloves. I barely saw her as she was waving her arms at me as I was at the stop sign. Really? Tonight, I only saw the people on the corner crossing Semington Road because their dog was white. The couple had on dark coats, pants, and hats. Common sense. Please use it. If it is dark and you are participating in an outdoor activity, wear the proper attire to avoid being hurt (and to allow me and other drivers not to have a coronary event while driving). Thank you, and happy New Year!

Holly had a little lamb

The business of raising, shearing sheep in Fauquier By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

As lambing season approaches, Holly Glenn is going full throttle with the 300 sheep she raises in The Plains. At this time of year, two expert sheep shearers, Brent Hartzler and Omar Fisher, travel to her farm from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to take the wool off. “This helps the newborn lambs find the milk,” Glenn said, adding that she has three breeds of sheep on the property she and her husband, Bill Martin, rent not far from the crossroads of Belvoir. First, a bit about the breeds. The Rambouillet, initially imported to the U.S. in 1840 from France, is all white with horns that curl around the side of the head and look like giant hoop earrings. They are large wool sheep with heavy fleece. They hail “from selections of a few hundred of the best Merino sheep of Spain in 1786 and 1799 by the French government at its national sheepfold at Rambouillet, France,” according to Britannica.com. In contrast, the Suffolk sheep are hornless, with an endearing dark, often black face. They hail from England and were first imported to America around 1888. They’re distinguished as spirited and animated with great endurance. The final portion of Glenn’s sheep flock consists of the circa-1960, U.S.-developed Polypay sheep. They’re highly prolific breeders with two crops of lambs each year along with one wool crop. They are known to birth as many as eight at a time. On a recent cold and rainy day just after Christmas, Hartzler, a school teacher, and Fisher, a construction worker, set up in a barn to begin their other job—clipping ewes. They’ve been doing it for 38 years. Depending on the size of the sheep and how cooperative the sheep are, with electric clippers it takes an average of three to five minutes per sheep. The cost is $6.50 per ewe. “We could get someone for less,” Glenn said, “but they haven’t done as nice of a job. These guys don’t cut them when shearing.” An old family ledger from the Martin family revealed that on April 3, 1955, Martin’s father had 190 sheep sheared at 50 cents per head. Martin moved to Fauquier in 1996. He’s a lifelong cattleman and cattle broker who once traveled to this part of Virginia from Illinois each year to buy up feeder cows. “During a two-month trip here we’d buy somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 head,” said Martin, 70. He eventually decided to move to Fauquier County to get into

The Polypay sheep of Martin’s Farm pre-clipping. the local cattle business as Martin’s Angus Beef. As a Foxcroft School graduate, Glenn was no stranger to the area. She went on to Wheaton College in Massachusetts and was on the lawyer track before moving into the tech business in Washington, D.C. while living in Upperville. Now 56, she speaks as if she’s got a doctorate in agriculture as she explains their move into raising sheep. After attending several farm-totable events, Glenn noticed the size of the lamb chops often were small. “No one was being scientific about the loin eye,” she said. “I thought it might be good to start now to breed for larger loin.” That would result in a plate not of five small lamb chops, but two or three larger ones. They purchased their first crop in 2012 in Wyoming where a breeder was following the feed to finished product. It resulted in a 3 ½- to 5-inch loin eye. From their 300 ewes (serviced by

12 rams they also own), Glenn and Martin expect about 500 lambs this spring. They often arrive as twins and triplets and all will be sold before they’re 1 year old. They sell the finished product to restaurants such as Marcel’s, owned by Chef Robert Wiedmaier, in Washington, D.C. He practices classic, whole-animal butchery. “If you’re going to kill a rabbit, don’t strip out its loins and toss the rest. Use all of it,” the Harley-riding chef declares. In addition, Martin’s Farm sells their lamb at the Green Barns in The Plains and at the upscale farmers market at Palisades near Georgetown University. Finally, Glenn, sent a note detailing how the number of sheep raised in the U.S. has fallen over the years. “One last bit of statistics,” she wrote. “On [Jan. 1, 1975] there were 14.5 million head of sheep for 214.9 million people in the USA. On [Jan. 1, 2018] there were 3.83 million head

of sheep for 327.16 million people in the USA, according to the Cattle Feeders Annual Report.” Reach Vicky Moon at vickyannmoon@aol.com

New year, exciting new options in retirement financing His name is Richard, and his question to me was the following: “If my paid-off home is worth $900,000, why do I only qualify for some $220,000 in a lump sum with a reverse mortgage?” Not only is this a great question, but it’s also a very common one. The answer, however, involves a few basic facts about how a reverse mortgage works. First, the amount of equity homeowners qualify for is based upon age. More specifically, the loan amount is based upon the age of the youngest homeowner. Second, just like with any other home loan, a reverse mortgage is impacted by interest rates. And third, the amount one qualifies for differs according to the “flavor” of the reverse mortgage the homeowner selects – traditionally there have been two basic types, either a fixed rate or an adjustable rate. Over the past few months, however, a plethora of other reverse mortgage offerings have come onto market. These loans, sometimes called “jumbo” reverse mortgages, are proving true game-changers for homeowners in higher-valued properties. Which leads me to my conversation with Richard. Richard initially inquired about a fixed-rate, FHA-insured reverse mortgage. Until very recently virtually all reverse mortgages were Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, or HECMs. But the HECMs are not always ideal

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON for those in higher-valued homes. Jumbo reverse mortgages are designed to meet needs of borrowers in homes valued up to $4,000,000. These non-FHA loans have some distinct advantages, with the most prominent being the following: at Richard’s age (78), he currently qualifies for some $430,000 at closing. Because he is looking to establish a special needs trust for an adult handicapped child, the larger amount available may better fit his goals. Second, closing costs on these loans are notably lower than those of an FHA-insured reverse mortgage. And third, at least one of these new offerings is available to homeowners aged 60 or older, rather than 62. At the time of publication of this article, the new reverse mortgages were not yet available in Virginia as lines of credit. This means the full amount must be taken at closing. The line of credit “flavor” is expected to be available in Virginia by early summer. Just like with other reverse mortgages, homeowners must continue to pay their property taxes, homeowners’

insurance, and other applicable property charges such as homeowners association fees or condominium dues. As an abrupt aside here, I sometimes get a variant of the following statement: “If they’d done everything ‘right,’ people wouldn’t need a reverse mortgage.” Not only is this harsh, it’s wildly inaccurate. Reverse mortgage holders are doctors and lawyers, realtors and administrators, nurses, accountants, teachers, business owners. Many of my clients are retired federal employees or contractors. The one thing most homeowners have in common? They are looking to secure a sound retirement and to reduce strain on investments. I am the first person to say a reverse mortgage is right for everyone.

No one financial product is. However, a reverse mortgage can be an important addition to many homeowners’ long-term financial plans. No one is likely to get by just on Social Security. Few will survive just on an IRA, a 401(k), or pension – or, for that matter, on a reverse mortgage. But when added together, all these contribute to financial soundness. For more information about how a reverse mortgage may help with your retirement financing, give me a call. I always love hearing from you.

Former Liberty High football star R.J. Proctor is using the NCAA’s graduate transfer process to leave the University of Virginia football team, where he was a two-year starter.

Falcons’ next football coach has a history of turning around teams By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Fauquier High’s previous head football coach traveled nearly 700 miles to interview. On Dec. 19, Karl Buckwalter drove eight miles for the interview that helped make him the Falcons’ next head coach. Buckwalter, a 56-year-old Warrenton resident, accepted the Fauquier position Jan. 7 after stepping down as Dominion’s head coach in November following MEET his 11th season THE NEW with the Titans.

Prince joined Room at FHS. Fauquier following a 22-year career as a head coach in Kentucky, while Buckwalter has lived in Warrenton since 2008 despite coaching at Dominion that entire time. So he will have a much shorter commute to his new job with the Falcons. “It’s a chance to come home,” Buckwalter said Tuesday. “I know the rich history of football in Fauquier County and at Fauquier High School. I’m so excited to get going.” His stepsons, Brandon and Michael Seely, are recent graduates of Fauquier High, where Buckwalter plans to teach physical education. His 10-year-old daughter, Karlyn, attends Brumfield Elementary. “I’ll end up teaching her, hopefully, at Fauquier,” Buckwalter said. “I’m not a guy that jumps from school to school. “Being part of the community, that’s a huge selling point for me,” he said. “I’m excited to have the small-town-type atmosphere and getting everybody in the community involved in the program.” Buckwalter strived for that in head coaching stints at Dominion, Colonial Forge (five seasons) and McLean (nine seasons). He has a career record of 122-139 with state semifinal appearances at McLean in 1995 and Dominion in 2016. A McLean alumnus, he returned and turned around a football team that had a 1-29 run leading up to his tenure. Then he built the Colo-

‘BUCK’ HAS A NEW CHALLENGE PHOTO COURTESY LOUDOUN TIMES-MIRROR

Karl Buckwalter, 56, will become the sixth man in 13 years to coach the Fauquier High football team. He turned around the Dominion High program, guiding them to the Class 4 semifinals in 2016. Interestingly, he’s lived in Warrenton for 11 years.

THE BUCKWALTER FILE • Age: 56. • Coaching resume: 25 years of head coaching experience at Dominion (2008-18), Colonial Forge (199-2003) and McLean (1990-98). • High school: 1981 McLean High graduate. • Personal: Has lived in Warrenton 11 years.

The Titans won the Dulles District championship in 2017 and in 2016, when they advanced to the Class 4 state semifinals with a program-best 10-3 record. Last season, however, the Titans finished with only a 3-6 record, including a narrow 21-14 victory over a winless Fauquier team. Buckwalter resigned from the Dominion coaching position seeking to build another football program from scratch at Independence High, which will open in Ashburn next fall. But he did not land that new job. “You take the leap of faith, so

to speak,” he said. “It’s funny how things happen for a reason. ... When Fauquier opened up, I had to go for it.” So, on Thursday, Buckwalter will be the sixth person introduced as the Falcons’ head coach in the past nine seasons. He follows Prince, who despite coaching only four seasons had the longest coaching tenure with the Falcons since Tom Ferrell, who went 61-55 from 1994-2004. Prince, a 2014 Kentucky Football State 4A Coach of the Year and six-time district Coach of the Year, took the Fauquier job after leaving Owensboro High, for which he coached 12 years with a state runner-up finish. But the Falcons never made a playoff appearance with him at the helm. With a 0-10 record this past season, Fauquier tied for its worst performance in the program’s 56-year history, matching the 0-10 mark in 1980. Neither Prince nor Fauquier athletic director Mark Holmes respond-

ed to repeated phone calls concerning Prince’s departure.

Falcon coaching turnover

Prince actually succeeded Holmes as the Falcons’ head coach in 2015 after Holmes served as interim coach in the second half of the 2014 season. Holmes stepped in for Jamie Carter, who left the team abruptly midseason with no explanation from him or the school administration. Carter officially resigned after the season. See COACH, Page 18

Matoaca took a quick 10-0 lead in the finals on a forfeit and a major decision. Liberty got on the board via forfeit at 152 pounds. Eagle Caleb Swinson followed with a pin with 16 seconds remaining in the 160-pound bout for a 12-10 lead. Liberty’s margin grew to 24-10 on a forfeit at 170, with Royce Hall adding a pin in five minutes at 182. Matoaca narrowed the gap to 24-19 on a decision at 195 pounds and a pin at 220. Eagle Willie Phipps needed one minute to pin his 285-pound foe, and Mason Barrett collected his fifth pin of the day at 106. A Matoaca major decision at 120 and a fall at 126 cut the gap to 4229 before Liberty’s Bryan Contreras capped the championship with his pin in 1 minute, 24 seconds in the 132-pound contest.

The holidays were fruitful for the Liberty wrestling team. The Eagles capped a three-weekend run of strong finishes Saturday by dispatching Matoaca, 48-29, in the championship match of their own 10-team Liberty Duals. Liberty easily waltzed through its four pool contests to reach the championship match, opening with a 66-

19 rout of Riverside, then beating Manassas Park 61-18, Patrick Henry 69-6 and Hanover 57-10. The previous two weeks saw the Eagles take the runner spot in the Willie Walters/Jaye Copp Invitational Dec. 2122 at James Wood and grab fifth out of 30 schools in the Mount Mat Madness event Dec. 28-29 in Baltimore against a strong field including several nationally-ranked private schools. “We hammered it at Mount Madness,” coach Wes Hawkins said.

Hawkins said the field at Saturday’s Liberty Duals was not deep, but the Eagles faced plenty of strong, tough opponents en route to beating Matoaca for the crown. Hawkins is striving to be in tiptop form when the postseason schedule opens Feb. 2. With many former JV wrestlers emerging this year, a slow pace was used early. Now the focus is on physical conditioning and fitness for the run up to states in mid-February. “We’re training now. We’re not teaching anymore,” said Hawkins. “We’re getting ready for the postseason now.”

Kettle Run scored 198 points to place third in the Warren County Invitational, finishing behind the host Wildcats (257.5) and Colgan (236). Cougar Alex Smith earned the award as the meet’s Most Outstanding Wrestler following his perfect day at 138 pounds. Other Kettle Run gold medalists were Zane O’Connor (120) and Gabe Chumley (170), with Logan Hall capturing silver at 113. Matt McLaughlin (106), Alec Farewell (126), A.J.

Good first quarter vs. Millbrook

Kettle Run went head-to-head with defending Class 4 state girls basketball champion Millbrook for five minutes last Thursday before losing 64-28. Kettle Run trailed 8-6 late in the first quarter by going over the top of the aggressive Pioneer man-to-man full-court press with long passes, forcing a Millbrook timeout after Faith Schaefer hit two layups and Emory Shorts drilled a jumper from the right elbow. But Millbrook changed to a trapping 1-2-2

Sometimes the [lack of] experience catches up with us.” Cougar Sammie McCoy made a layup with 16 seconds left in the half as the Millbrook advantage exploded to 35-8. Millbrook exploited Kettle Run’s vulnerabilities

by cutting off key passing lanes and piling up steals. “They’re quick and they have length,” Allen said. Shorts led the Cougar offense with 10 points. Rachel Schwind (six), Schaefer (four), Mary Maxwell (four), Mae Sutliff (two) and McCoy (two) rounded out the scoring column. The Cougar junior varsity dropped a 33-16 decision to the Pioneers.

Buckwalter promises Falcon success, but ‘It’s going to take time’ COACH, from Page 15

Fauquier’s coaching history

Carter took over as head coach in 2012 after Fauquier administrators first offered the job to Brad Metheny of Florida. Fauquier then rescinded that offer to Metheny 17 days later without a contract signed. So, comparatively, Buckwalter replacing Prince is a more traditional endeavor. Prince’s .275 winning percentage is the Falcons’ worst since Ed Jefferies went 4-15-1 from 1964-65 (.200). It’s also the worst of Prince’s career, which includes five head coaching jobs. Prince leaves FHS with a 160-136 career record, while the Falcons have a 288-288-11 mark in their history, including a 39-45 run since the start of the 2012 season without a playoff victory since 2002. Buckwalter welcomes the challenge of rejuvenating a program that has only four winning seasons since 1997 and not beaten archrival Liberty since 2007. “Everywhere I’ve been we’ve been part of a building or rebuilding programs, and we’ve always got it” done, he said. “Our goal is to get into the playoffs.” At McLean, Buckwalter took over as head coach in 1990 for a team with only one win over three seasons. By 1995, he was named the Washington Post All-Met Coach of the Year after leading the Highland-

to believe.” Buckwalter plans to meet Fauquier’s potential players Thursday prior to a “meet and greet” event for the community. He said he plans to serve as defensive coordinator, as he has done during most of his career. His defense typically features three-man defensive fronts with blitz packages. “We don’t do substitutions and personnel packages, we just change

formations,” he said. “I like to bring a lot of pressure and make a quarterback, a high school kid, make a decision. Come from different areas and at different angles.” Offensively, he plans to run a spread with his quarterback either in the shotgun and under center, while featuring run-pass-option plays and split-back plays. “My goal is to make [opponents] adjust to us,” he said. “If we make you make a bunch of adjustments, we’re going to win the game.” He hopes to begin a weight room program with the Falcons next week with an eye on the official beginning of practice Aug. 1 at 12:01 a.m. “We’re going to have Midnight Madness,” he said. “That’ll be when the [2019] Fauquier Falcons are born.”

BREED OF THE WEEK: MUSTANG

Wild mustangs can be tamed. Look at Sparky. By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

America’s mustangs are branded as wild, untamed and unbridled, but a handful of avid breed proponents in the area say the same qualities that kept them safe and sound on rough, open rangelands translate into confident, trustworthy saddlehorse skills once they’re gentled to handling. Nokesville rider Rain Montes has become a huge, if accidental, mustang fan during a phase in 2014 when she said she was “between horses, due to work and kids, although wishing I had one again.” Browsing horse-related webpages, she stumbled across the Pacific Wild Horse Club in Oregon, whose mission is to help mustangs find their purpose and shine at their chosen discipline. The club was running a raffle fundraiser to promote mustang adoption, and the prize was a 3-year-old palomino mustang gelding named Sparky that had been rounded up from an overpopulated herd before winter. Gentled by a club member, the horse proved to be a willing partner, and he became the posterboy for mustang adoption. Montes was mesmerized, over and over watching videos of him trail riding, carrying the flag in a city parade, cutting cattle and competing in a horse show. “There was just something about this little mustang that captured my heart,” Montes said. “I bought about $50 worth of raffle tickets and crossed my fingers. “I felt like he was meant to be my horse. Even my husband said, I know you will win.” When raffle time came that August, Montes bought another $40 of raffle tickets at the last minute, but another number was drawn. “I was so disappointed,” she said. But in September, her phone rang with caller ID showing a number

Meet the mustang Though early horses evolved on the North American continent, they were wiped out in the Ice Age. Horses returned to the Americas with Spanish explorers in the late 1400s, with lost or abandoned horses quickly spreading west. Today, the blood of many other breeds have contributed to the modern mustang, resulting in varying phenotypes. They are typically 14-15 hands, around 700-1,000 pounds. Most have small muzzles, wide foreheads, slight Roman noses, solid shoulders, short backs, low-set tails and round, dense

It turns out the original winner was unable to take Sparky, and Montes held the next ticket drawn. Though her family didn’t believe she’d ship a formerly wild animal, sight unseen, all the way from Oregon to Nokesville, that’s exactly what she did. “From the moment he stepped off the shipping trailer from Oregon, I knew I’d met my heart horse,” she said. “I’ve always loved horses, but not like this. I’ve owned Quarter Horses, a Friesian and even a mini, but not one has compared to Sparky. “We click so perfectly. Sparky and I like to go on adventures together. We have competed in judged pleasure rides, mounted police horse clinics, mounted shooting and cattle sorting. I even took him to Pimlico racetrack for a benefit lap around the track. “Sparky is the most laid back, unflappable horse you could imagine. He does pony rides with my daughters, and … I wouldn’t trade my $90 horse for anything.” Another BLM mustang lives just down the road at another Nokesville barn. Caroline Muller adopted her horse at the BLM’s Lorton sale three years ago. “It’s hard to believe this was once a wild horse, ungentled and untamed,” Muller said. “She’s very sweet, and she cleans up at horse shows.” Old People’s Riding Club and RideFauquier board member Jinx Fox of Orlean is another local breed booster and mustang owner. “I think they’re great,” she said. hooves. They can be any coat color, but many mustangs are plain bay. Supporters assert that, while not native, mustangs have become a “culturally significant” part of the American West. Ranchers and wildlife purists argue it is a reintroduced species drawing resources from native species on arid and fragile western rangelands. In 1971, Congress and the Bureau of Land Management enacted legislation to protect and manage mustang herds. Adoption programs started in 1978. An adoption event is scheduled for November at the Meadowood facility in Lorton. Find more at blm.gov.

Roman (Matthias Schoenaerts), a convict in a rural Nevada prison, works to help gentle wild mustangs rounded up near the facility. A veteran trainer (Bruce Dern) helps Roman get accepted into the highly selective training program, where he finds his own humanity in gentling an especially unbreakable mustang.

Rappahannock photographer Ronda Ann Gregorio is on the road promoting her “Mustang Book Project,” a book and video documentary. Gregorio says she hopes the project will “reshape America’s view towards wild mustangs” and highlight their

versatility in the sport horse world. She has captured images of what she calls “mustang all-star ambassadors” across the U.S. Follow Gregorio’s 7,500-mile trip on Facebook.

Mustangs part of prison rehab programs

In Colorado, wild mustangs are part of a program to rehabilitate prisoners at the Four Mile Prison near Canon City. Fresh from the wild, the horses are rounded up as part of the Bureau of Land Management’s program to conserve the limited resources on the rangelands. At the jail, they are handled by inmate workers and broken to saddle to make them more adoptable through BLM’s wild horse adoption program.

Judges administer a stern zone press After early surge, Falcon boys fall to Handley 69-40

NEXT GAMES: Monday at Warren County, 7:30 p.m.; Tuesday (Jan. 15) at James Wood

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The Fauquier boys basketball team opened Friday’s home contest with Handley trying to execute a patient offense. Despite a few unforced turnovers and several missed shots, the Falcons trailed the Northwestern District leaders only 11-8 after the opening eight minutes. “For first quarter, all in all, we’re not where we want to be, but we’re in contact,” said Fauquier coach Wayne Brizzi. “After that, it went downhill.” Handley won 69-40 after making some defensive changes, including a switch to a 2-2-1 three-quarter-court press late in the first quarter. The Judges’ surge accelerated the pace to their preferred quicker tempo and left the Falcons frazzled. “You could see it in our faces,” Brizzi said. “They are long, quick. We did not get into the right spot. We need to flash on time.” Fauquier’s high water mark was a late first quarter run that saw Fal-

con Zeke Hanberry sink a 22-footer from the left side of the circle and Devin Lewis make a driving layup with three seconds to go in the quarter to make it 11-8. But four Falcon turnovers in the first two minutes of the second set the stage for an 11-0 run. Handley won the quarter 27-11 to lead 38-19 at the break. Turnovers were not the only issue, Brizzi said, pointing to Handley’s first-half shot chart that showed only two attempts outside of the paint. Devin Lewis was the lone Falcon in double figures with 17 points. Robert Brooks added nine and Thurman Smith five. Hunter Lamper, Zeke Hanberry and Oscar Lemus Mendoza each score three points. “We’ve got to stop that penetration. That’s a big thing,” Brizzi said. “And we’ve got to take care of the ball.” The coach stressed his crew regrouped after halftime to play more solidly in the third and fourth quarters. “I’ll give the kids credit. They tried to get back into the game mentally,” Brizzi said.

A century of carriages and cars: 1911 to 2011 Warrenton Supply Co. sold them all By John Toler

Associate Editor

Today Red Truck Bakery sits at the end of Ashby Street. The bright, red truck signals you’ve reached one of Warrenton’s sweet spots. But before it was a bakery and Ashby Street was lined with offices and a café, this part of town housed a bevy of treats ranging from farm supplies to Studebakers. In Fauquier County, the transition from horse-drawn conveyances to early automobiles started in the early 1900s. One of the first local businesses to enter the auto market was the Warrenton Supply Co., which eventually grew to occupy most of the west side of present-day Ashby Street. In May 1911, Franklyn W. Hilbert (1871-1936) purchased the property from Lucien Keith. With his partner

Repair work and new vehicle preparation was done in the spacious garage, as seen in this photo from the 1940s.

O. B. Callahan, Hilbert started the Warrenton Carriage Works. It is recalled that for many years, Callahan operated the livery stable on Main Street on the site occupied by the circa-1917 Warrenton Post Office. A new building was erected on the Ashby Street site, where in addition to handling carriages, buggies, harnesses and farm equipment part of the building was rented out for a restaurant and bowling alley run by W. H. Kays. A pioneer automobile dealer in Warrenton in 1910, Callahan became the agent for Willis-Overland cars, and in December 1913, the business was incorporated as Warrenton Supply Co., with capital stock of $25,000. Callahan was president, Hilbert, vice president and L.W. Trenis, treasurer. Warrenton Supply Co. became the agent for other vehicle lines, including Studebaker, E.M.F., and the Allen and Stanley Steamers, but their mechanics worked on whatever

came through the garage doors. In “The Diary of Court House Square,” historian Lee Moffett recalls that the first person to own a car in Warrenton was likely businessman Albert Fletcher, who tooled around town in a Stanley Steamer. Apparently, these unique automobiles caught on, as both Thad N. Fletcher and Ed Kincheloe, also business owners in Warrenton, were driving Steamers – and having them maintained at the Warrenton Supply Co. Other early car owners were Paul C. Richards (1871-1948), who drove a Buick, and would later open the Oakland and Pontiac dealership on Culpeper Street in Warrenton. The Warrenton Supply Co. acquired the Ford Motor Co. franchise for Warrenton in 1914, and Martin J. O’Connell (1884-1987), who owned the Warrenton Electric Light and Ice Co., was one of their customers, having bought a new Model-T Ford there in 1915. In 1916, Trenis sold his interest in the firm to T.N. Fletcher Jr., and that year, a hardware department was added to the business. A year later, the Warrenton Supply Co. was handling a full line of farm and household hardware, including paints, refrigerators, sporting goods and electrical and contractors’ supplies. In 1921, it purchased the lot at the corner of present-day Ashby and Waterloo streets from the estate of Lucien Keith and opened a small gas station there. At the end of 1924, the company got permission to build a modern new service station on the site, where they would sell Standard Oil (or Esso) products until 1972, when ownership changed and it became a Texaco station. In 1930, the company also operated a second service

station on East Main Street and, by 1936, a third station on the bypass. In 1921, a young man joined the company. Over the next 15 years, he played a major role in the automobile business at Warrenton Supply Co., and for many years afterward, on his own. Thomas N. Frost (1905-1969) of Marshall was only 16 when he came to the Warrenton Supply Co., “starting at the bottom,” sweeping floors and changing tires. Hardworking and mechanically-inclined, he quickly moved up in the company and enhanced the firm’s leadership in the community when he set up an auto racing team in 1924. Although he rarely raced the modified Model-T Fords himself, Frost was responsible for everything else, from getting the cars ready to schedule and promoting the races. By 1927, his Number 7 “Warrenton Supply Special,” driven by Wilbur Edwards, was a frequent winner in the local circuit.

Growth and transition

At the end of 1924, the company built its new service station on the Waterloo Street site, where Standard Oil (or Esso) products were sold 1972, when ownership changed and it became a Texaco station. It is now the home of the Red Truck Bakery. The year 1929 brought the Great Depression, and times were particularly tough on both car manufacturers and dealers. That year, H.H. Carter (1900-1979) and Blair Moffett

(1905-1984) became stockholders. During the 1930s, prices of new cars and trucks dropped dramatically – but so had family income and small business profitability. Frost was appointed vice president of the Warrenton Supply Co. in early 1934. After the company was named the regional wholesaler for Ford parts and accessories in April, Frost put on a big party at the shop. As part of the new arrangement, Ford provided a new truck “equipped inside like it looks like the inside of a well-supplied garage,” according to a contemporary account. By 1936, the Warrenton Supply Co. was Warrenton’s largest employer, with 31 on its payroll. At the time, C.C. Pearson was the president and C. F. Taylor secretary and treasurer. Other officers were E. B. Parkinson, H.H. Carter and R. B. Moffett. E.B. Kirkpatrick was the service superintendent. Frost stayed on until the end of the year. He resigned to go into business for himself, first taking over the Texaco filling station at the bottom of Waterloo Street. He later became the agent for Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Dodge vehicles and opened a restaurant on Main Street. On Aug. 16, 1942, a disastrous fire swept the Warrenton Supply Garage, gutting the inside and damaging the building and contents with the loss See SUPPLY CO., Page 22

A century of carriages and cars: 1911 to 2011 SUPPLY CO., from Page 21 estimated at $15,000. It was discovered at about 5:45 p.m. by Richard Glascock, an employee of the firm. Firemen from Warrenton, Remington and Culpeper managed to save the automobiles, new tires and batteries, but most of the auto parts stored in the loft were lost. By the end of December 1942, the Warrenton Supply garage was completely rebuilt by contractor W. J. Hanback, whose father had built the original structure in 1912. The original gambrel façade was replaced with the simple flat front we see on the building today. This was wartime, and it was noted that getting replacement equipment and parts had to go through the War Production Board, and that nine employees of the company had left to serve their country. Disaster struck again on March 15, 1948, when a natural gas leak under the floor of the parts department in the front of the Warrenton Supply Co.

building ignited, causing an explosion and fire that blew out skylights, cracked walls and raised the roof three or four inches. Firemen had difficulty dousing the flames beneath the floor. According to Clay T. Brittle, manager of the garage, damage was estimated at $2,000. He noted that if the explosion had happened at night when the windows and doors were closed, damage would have been much greater. In 1945, Warrenton Supply gave up its Ford franchise, which was quickly acquired by Frost, who built a new, state-of-the-art dealership and garage on the bypass, which opened in 1946. Warrenton Supply then became a Nash dealer. In the early 1950s, both the garage and retail facilities were expanded. For the next 24 years, Warrenton Supply Co. sold Nash and Rambler automobiles, but in June 1969, company president H.H. Carter announced that effective June 30, the business was discontinuing its automotive sales and service department

The garage building was leased to Burke Motor Co., the oldest continuing dealership in Fauquier, having been established in Bealeton in 1913. A former Studebaker dealer with a shop in Warrenton since 1950, J. P. Burke brought his current staff with him, as well as keeping the mechanics who worked for Warrenton Supply. Warrenton Supply Co. would continue to operate the service station on Waterloo Street and the retail store,

which would be run by former garage manager R. Frank Moffett (19101989). Hardware lines were continued, as well as household appliances and other items. Their slogan for many years was “The Largest Selection of Nuts and Bolts in Northern Virginia.” The friendly faces of Frank Moffett and Tillie Minter welcomed customers in the years that followed. The old Warrenton Supply complex was purchased by Bill and Faye Richardson in 1986. The buildings were renovated and sub-divided, becoming 18 to 32 Ashby St. It was sold by the Richardson estate in 2011, and the buildings where carriages and then cars were once fixed and sold, and hardware and household items stocked, now offer a café and venue, shops and several offices. But fading signs painted on the brick walls on the front of the building years ago still recall the days when carriages were built and harnesses sold there. Contact John Toler at jtoler@fauquier.com

MONDAY EVENING HOURS ~ BY APPOINTMENT

och v. Maryland, the Mosby Heritage Area Association is hosting a number of events throughout 2019 to celebrate John Marshall’s life and legacy. John Marshall was born in 1755 in a small log cabin near modern day Midland. As a young man he served in the Continental Army through many battles and the winter at Valley Forge. He returned to Virginia to study law at the College of William and Mary. Following the Revolution, he represented Fauquier County in the Virginia Assembly and served in the U.S. House of Representatives and as Secretary of State. His most important legacy, however, was in his role as the fourth chief justice of the United States. Appointed in 1801 by John Adams, Marshall spent more than three decades in the court, where he shaped the power of the judiciary branch. Many of the best known and far reaching cases in American history were products of the Marshall court. Marbury v. Madison established the precedent of judicial review, while McCulloch v. Maryland introduced the concept of Congress holding implied powers not expressly presented in the Constitution. These decisions remain central to the Supreme Court and continue to influence law to this day.

Upcoming Events:

Saturday, March 23: John Marshall’s Richmond: A Bus Tour— Follow in the footsteps of the great chief justice as we explore Richmond’s historical sites. Highlights of the tour include a guided tour of the Virginia State Capitol, guided tour of the John Marshall House, a visit to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture to enjoy the new exhibit John Marshall, and lunch at the Commonwealth Club.

The orange bag brigade Adopt-A-Highway volunteers labor to beautify the land By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

The numbers are remarkable: 52 billion pieces of litter cluttering the nation’s highways and byways. That’s 6,700 pieces of stuff per mile. Consider that one plastic bottle can take 450 years to decompose and a glass container 1 million years. This is no short-term problem. Moreover, cleaning up the mess costs $11.5 billion annually. It’s hard for most of us to fathom someone tossing soda bottles, beer cans and fast food detritus onto our verdant landscape. Yet it occurs around the clock, seven days a week. More than 80 percent of littering is done intentionally. Decades-long educational efforts have had a positive impact, significantly reducing the litter rate in the U.S. But despite the reduction, our roadways still flash and glitter with tons of trash. The problem becomes more visible in winter and when lush vegetation withers and exposes the underbelly to those motoring along the commonwealth’s highways. The mess is national in scope and a partial solution to the problem was discovered in Texas in the early 1980s. James Evans, an engineer for the Texas Department of Transportation, saw debris flying out the back of a pickup truck. Litter control was expensive, so Evans enlisted local volunteer groups to clean up sections of the state’s highways. The Adopt-A-Highway program was born. Today, 49 states have programs in place to keep America beautiful.

VDOT

Here in Virginia, Joe Williams, with the Virginia Department of Transportation, oversees the AdoptA-Highway program. It was established in 1988 to keep our highways free of litter, to promote the safety, convenience and enjoyment of travel and to protect the public investment in the highway system. “Our goal is to preserve and enhance the scenic beauty of our highways and adjacent areas,” said Williams. “We partner with a nonprofit outfit called Keep Virginia Beautiful.” The organization engages Virginians to improve the state’s natural and scenic environment. Volunteers are asked to sign up for a three-year commitment that requires two cleanups a year. After individuals or groups report two trash sweeps, they can have a sign placed along their assigned roadway with their name on it. Orange trash bags and vests are provided to the collectors by local VDOT offices. After each collection report is filed, a VDOT truck picks

Angry Rednecks Against Litter is alive and well. Max and Penny Greiner have labored for 26 years cleaning up local roadways under that very moniker. Today they are responsible for three 2-mile sections in the Catlett area. up the collected bags. Statewide, there are 1,223 volunteer groups with 15,370 participants. In 2018, they cleaned 1,393 miles of roadway, collecting 22,750 bags of trash, while contributing 34,928 volunteer work hours. That’s a lot of trash none of us had to look at as we motored to and from our destinations. Here in Fauquier County, 35 groups with 196 volunteers collected 337 bags of garbage from 266 miles of roadway, while donating 132 hours of their time. Virginia saves $1.35 million with volunteer trash collection. So what type of trash do volunteers typically encounter? Beer and soda bottles rate high on the list, but plastic bags and fast food refuse, along with a variety of empty containers, are also found in abundance. One interesting observation is that spent wine bottles are rarely seen. One reason may be because those between ages 19 and 35 are three times more likely to litter than

Yes, you read that correctly. There is an Adopt-A-Highway group in Fauquier County called Angry Rednecks Against Litter. Max and Penny Greiner have labored for 26 years cleaning up local roadways under that very moniker. Today they are responsible for three 2-mile sections in the Catlett area. “We moved here in 1991 because it was such a scenic area. But we soon noticed all the litter on the roads when we took our boys to baseball and basketball practice,” said Max Greiner. “There was a lot of talk among the local folks about cleaning up the roads but no one ever followed through. In 1992, we officially signed up as a volunteer family.” So how did the unusual name come about? “I come from a deep redneck background and we don’t claim to be something we’re not,” Greiner said. That said, Greiner recently retired as an engineer working at the Pentagon, so his redneck bona fides have been nurtured beyond any humble beginnings. The Greiners also lay claim to one of the more unique Adopt-A-Highway reputations: their road sign is the most swiped in the state. “Our sign has been stolen at least 14 times over the years. “People have come by and pulled it out with their tractors and other ways to possess a souvenir for their bars and garages. VDOT has been spectacular about replacing them. They are now embedded in concrete with steel posts,” said a smiling Greiner. A note of caution to those tempt-

ed to become a souvenir-hunter: In Virginia, stealing a state sign is a Class 1 misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of one year in jail or a $2,500 fine or both. For individuals or groups interested in joining the cadre of volunteers helping to keep Fauquier roadways beautiful, Linda Wilson, Adopt-AHighway coordinator, is the person to call or write. Wilson can be reached at 540347-6448 or linda.wilson@vdot.virginia.gov. Wilson also provides the needed orange bags and vests for properly attired volunteers. Additional information can also be found at keepvirginiabeautiful.org. If you are considering ways to contribute to the commonwealth, removing litter from our scenic byways is an exceptional way to serve. Consider grabbing a bag and making the world a cleaner place to live and drive. For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

Fortitude and a walk in the rainforest By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

When Lori Working arrives for choir practice at St. James’ Episcopal Church, she is usually sporting workout clothes and a large container of water. Oftentimes, she comes after a cycling or exercise class. She enjoys staying fit and it helps when you are reaching for the high notes as a soprano. A member of the choir for some seven years, Working had a previous singing stint with the Warrenton Chorale prior to starting a family. “I have always enjoyed singing…I especially love that I am serving others in the congregation while doing something that I enjoy so much,” said Working adding, “and I am so appreciative of the relationships that I have established with other members and the director. They are a great group of people.” Exercise is part of her daily and weekly regime as is caring for her husband and three sons. She’s also a teacher and, along with Scott Christian, pioneered the second-grade class at St. James’. Originally a preschool only, St. James’ has grown over the years to now include pre-K through the fifth grade. Growing up in southwest Virginia, she moved to Northern Virginia in 1992 when her husband, Chris, got his first job there. The two met in college. Lori has called Fauquier County home for 24 years. For the past nine years, she has been a teacher at St.

FAUQUIER FOCUS James’ Episcopal School. Most days you will find her in the classrooms and hallways at St. James’ where she teaches second grade. “I had been staying at home with my children for 10 years, after teaching for seven years at PB Smith Elementary, before I had kids,” Working said. When the youngest of her three boys enrolled in St. James’ preschool, the head of school, Stacey Irvin, proposed a new path. “Stacey Irvin called me to offer me a preschool teaching position. I taught preschool for two years before being asked to move up in grades to teach the second-grade class,” said a smiling Working, who totally delights in her daily interactions with the children. “I enjoy getting to know each and every one and their unique personalities – their strengths, weaknesses, talents, interests, sense of humors, likes, dislikes – and helping them to grow throughout the year, socially and academically,” said Working. “I love to see

Teacher and homemaker Lori Working will leave Jan. 18 for a trek in Uganda. how they change from the beginning of second grade to the end, knowing that I helped them in growing and thriving. And they are always surprised by and proud of their progress.” A love of books often has Working reading. As a young girl, she was fascinated by the works of Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey and their gorilla research. But, to date, Working’s world has centered on her family, her pupils, her church life, exercising and walking her dogs. Reading about gorillas is one thing – a chance to see them upfront and personal – that’s a different story. But, it’s a new year, and moving out of your comfort zone could be the ticket to a new chapter in Working’s life. She’ll soon find out as she leaves for Uganda on Jan. 18. When Working was first ap-

Nightlife

proached with this novel departure, her first reaction was “no.” But sibling pressure was on and a sparkle in her eyes spoke volumes to her choir mates, “Oh, you need to do this,” was their chorus of support. “My sister is a world traveler who currently lives in Angola in Africa and she has always wanted me to join her in her adventures,” said Working. “When she asked me about going to see the mountain gorillas of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, it really piqued my interest. I also love observing animals in their natural habitats. I couldn’t say no to this one,” said Working, who did venture to Haiti in 2014 after a friend from church asked her to come along. Working’s itinerary will include a one-day trek in the rainforest to find gorillas. Only eight people a day are allowed to observe them for one hour. “We will also be hiking to Munyaga Waterfall and possibly experiencing a Batwa Tribe Experience. We will end our trip with a Masai Mara safari in Kenya,” said Working, who will be gone 10 days returning at the end of January. New year, new beginnings, new adventures. For Lori Working, a walk in the park with her pooches will take on a whole new dimension as she walks through the rainforests of Uganda. “I am so grateful for this awesome opportunity and a chance to spend some quality bonding time with my sister,” said a happy Working.

NO DELAYING THE INEVITABLE It is no more sensible to delay making funeral pre-arrangements than it is to deny the inevitability of death. By addressing in advance the practical matters surrounding death, you can spare your family unnecessary hardship. For this reason alone, everyone should discuss such matters ahead of time. Having an honest conversation with immediate family about death and funeral preparations need not be difficult. In fact, many experience a feeling of relief after this important topic is discussed. Death is a part of life, and funeral arrangements are as important and necessary as planning for other lifealtering events. Pre-arranging your funeral makes it possible to take the necessary steps to ensure that your loved ones are spared needless concern. Can you imagine planning a wedding in just a few days? Why leave the ultimate celebration of your life to the last minute? Pre-need funeral plans can be made at any time and offer many advantages. Funeral homes, cemeteries and other funeral service companies can help you preplan a funeral for yourself, your spouse, or a parent. If you would like to learn more about preplanning a funeral, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go.” – Jean de La Fontaine

Meadows near Delaplane. “We know something about how they lived, and in some cases, we have the names of those who lived there,” Weaver said. As of 1860, Fauquier County had 1,285 slaveholders, 2,146 slave dwellings and 10,455 enslaved people. Weaver is an adjunct professor at four community colleges, including Lord Fairfax Community College. He is a recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for outstanding trainer/instructor at Virginia Colleges in 2008 and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. educational award in 2001. He is a deacon of the St. James Baptist Church, vice president of Fauquier chapter of the NAACP and former president of the men’s fellowship of the Northern Virginia Baptist Association. The MLK celebration has been an annual event at the association for more than 20 years. This is the kick-off event for 2019, which commemorates 400 years since the ﬁrst 20 blacks were brought to Virginia. Those wishing to attend the MLK celebration may register at www.eventbrite.com/o/aahaof-fauquier-7841396216. It will be held in the lower auditorium, which is not handicapped accessible, but will be live-streamed on the main ﬂoor of the museum for anyone who would like to attend. For more information, call 540253-7488. Two other MLK events will be held on Jan. 21. Keynote speaker Decker H. Tapscott Sr., senior pastor of the Faith Christian Center and International Outreach Center will speak at 1 p.m. at the Rice Theater at Highland School in Warrenton. The last of the trio of events will be at 5:30 p.m. at Lord Fairfax Community College’s Warrenton campus. Keynote speaker will be attorney Earlene Morgan of the First Baptist Church, Warrenton. The theme for the events will be “Let Justice Ring Everywhere!”

Sweeping views abound from custom home Privately tucked away in an excellent location between Warrenton and Orlean is this charming custom, country home. Situated on a rare and manageable 27-acre parcel, the setting is idyllic with mature trees, landscaped yard with dogwood and flowering shrubs and large, open meadows. Somewhat contemporary in style, the home features lots of windows,

providing natural light and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The views, across adjacent property, are protected by “view shed” easements, so nothing further can be built other than fencing. The home itself is stucco with a copper roof and lots of stone accents such as chimneys, walls and fireplaces. The main floor master suite features picture windows to bring

the outdoors in, as well as a fireplace and his/her baths. Other features include multiple fireplaces, heart-pine beams, heartpine and oak flooring, lovely covered porch and a high ceiling in the living room. The finished, walkout lower level has a stone fireplace, recreation room and media room. Conveniently located just 10-15 minutes from Old Town Warrenton,

moments from the Village of Orlean and a short trip to many wineries, national park and so much more. Plenty of open pasture, just add a barn and some fencing for horses. Lightly traveled country lane. Joe Allen Allen Real Estate 540-229-1770

Construction continues on Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department We’re back! The Christmas holiday was spent with dear friends in Pittsburgh where we enjoyed the children, ate way too much and just generally had a great time. There were about 12 people at the table for each meal except for Christmas Day when there were 13; we don’t know how our hostess managed to keep up with all of that and still keep her sanity, but she did and still had a sweet smile every day. One of our favorite books which arrived as a gift was “The Wisdom of Our Grandmothers” by Adriana Trigiani. This talented writer shared the influence of her two Italian

ADMIRAL JAMES ALOYSIUS LYONS, JR. America has lost a courageous leader and patriot. Admiral James Aloysius “Ace” Lyons, Jr, U.S. Navy (retired). passed away in Warrenton, VA on 12 December 2018 at the age of 91. Born in New Jersey to James A. and Marion F. Lyons, he entered the United States Naval Academy in June 1948 from the Naval Reserve and graduated with the Class of 1952. He served as a Surface Warfare Officer until his retirement as a four-star admiral and Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet on 1 October 1987. His early sea assignments included the Sixth Fleet flagship USS Salem (CA 139) and USS Miller (DD 535). Later sea assignments included command of the destroyer USS Charles S. Sperry (DD 967) and guided missile cruiser USS Richmond K. Turner (DLG 20). Intermixed were staff assignments in the Pentagon with the Chief of Naval Operations and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which played a major role in developing the outstanding strategic knowledge that characterized his Navy career. A principal advisor on significant Joint Chiefs of Staff matters , he was key in the development of the Navy Red Cell, an anti-terrorism group comprised of Navy Seals established in response to the 1983 bombing of the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut. He was a graduate of both the Naval War College and the National War College and his shore assignments included wide and significant experience in strategic planning and national security affairs. In July 1981, upon being promoted to the grade of vice admiral, he took command of the U. S. Second Fleet, where he directed and conducted maritime operations throughout the Atlantic. Admiral Lyons showed his bold, aggressive naval strategies during the Cold War with the Soviet Union without firing a shot. He assumed command of the U. S. Pacific Fleet in September 1985 upon his promotion to admiral. It was during this time that he led three Pacific Fleet ships on the first U. S. Navy ship visit to the People’s Republic of China in 37 years. Also during this tour he sent the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH-19), a converted oil tanker, on her inaugural mission to provide humanitarian aide to the Philippines and the South Pacific. He continued his active involvement in Project Hope and other humanitarian organization in the United States and overseas after retirement from the Navy. In August 1987, Admiral Lyons retired from the Navy after 36 years of service and began an equally impressive career as President/CEO of LION Associates, LLC, a premier global consulting company providing National Security advice. He was Chairman of the Center for Security Policy’s Military Committee and the senior member of the Citizens Commission on Benghazi. He served on the Advisory Board to the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and was a consultant to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on issues of counterterrorism. He recently received an IMPACT Award, which honors unsung Leaders Defending Liberty and specifically his profound impact on this country’s liberty and freedom. His actions were driven by a profound desire to do what was right for our country and civilization. Admiral Lyons will always be remembered as a loving husband and devoted father. He viewed the family unit as a foundation stone in American culture. Not only was family life important to him, but he also loved spending time with his many family dogs, boating and playing golf in record time! Admiral Lyons’ beloved wife, Renee, predeceased him by 42 days. He is survived by his two daughters, Michele Lyons and Yvonne Slingluff; his son James Lyons III; and three grandchildren: Max Slingluff, Zoe Renee Slingluff and James A. Lyons, IV. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be directed to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society at www.nmcrs.org.

Kathryn Lee Maddux Quarles Kathryn Lee Maddux Quarles, 89, a long-time resident of Fredericksburg and more recently Charlottesville, passed away suddenly at Westminster Canterbury on Sunday, December 30, 2018. Kitty was born in Marshall, Virginia on January 18, 1929 to Thomas Henderson and Ida Mae (Schryver) Maddux. She was raised alongside her brothers, Thomas “Tuck” Henderson, III and Franklin “Webb” Webster by their loving parents and an extended family. Kitty’s beloved aunts schooled her in the domestic arts in which she maintained a lifelong interest. She was renowned for her cooking and baking skills, talents with interior design, and most of all for her hospitality. Kitty was devoted to her family and hosted holiday celebrations and reunions that were deeply appreciated. Kitty and Douglas Earle Quarles, Jr. were married December 22, 1951 in Fredericksburg where they lived for most of their lives and raised their five children. They also traveled extensively and shared an interest in painting. Kitty and Doug welcomed a young student from Mexico into their home before exchange programs were common and that developed into a long-term friendship with his family. He and his siblings are among the many who would say “Kitty was like a second mother to me.” Kitty was active in the family business, Quarles Petroleum, and served on its board. She was a talented horticulturalist and composed a series of close-up photographs of botanical specimens she encountered on her travels. Kitty shared this interest with others as a member and officer of the Rappahannock Valley Garden Club and the Garden Club of Virginia. She was a charter member of Parnassus Club, a supporter of the Fredericksburg Area Museum, and a past trustee and regent of the George Washington Foundation. Kitty graduated from Stuart Hall School in Staunton, where she served on their board for many years and received their Distinguished Alumni Award. She also graduated from Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, PA. Kitty was an active member of St. George’s Church for many years. She was a lifelong learner and her interests included genealogy and family history. Kitty researched and wrote a hardcover book, The History of the Maddux and Quarles Families which was published shortly before her death. Survivors include her husband of 67 years, Doug; five children Kitty Wafle (Ben), Doug Quarles III (Betsy), Anne Taylor Doolittle (Bob), George Quarles (Marianne), and Bill Quarles (Kathleen); eleven grandchildren Nick Wafle (Danny Asher), Katy Wafle (Sam Hoffman), Molly Wafle, Lacy Briney (John), Doug Quarles IV (Shelby), Betsy Cotten (Randy), Alex Arrivillaga (Sebastian), John Quarles, Will Quarles (Meaghan), Amy Lee Norvell (Adam), and Cynthia Quarles; four greatgrandchildren; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins; and many dear friends, including special friends Betsy and Jim Greene, whose care and devotion to Kitty and Doug at Westminster Canterbury is deeply appreciated. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 19 at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Fredericksburg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. George’s Episcopal Church, 905 Princess Anne Street, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22401 or Stuart Hall School, 235 West Frederick Street, Staunton, Virginia, 24401.
