Tax bills going up for schools, public safety — but not new library By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Fauquier real-estate owners will see their tax bills rise an average of $375 next year, an 11.1-percent increase, to support the county’s $330.9 million operating budget for fiscal 2019, which begins July 1. In approving a new budget Thursday, March 22, the Fauquier Board of Supervisors reduced the tax rate from $1.039 to 0.982 per $100 in assessed valuation. Still, tax bills are up because property
values rose an average 17.7 percent in countywide reassessments earlier this year. Rising property values, plus a last-minute request to hire school-safety specialists following the Florida school shootings, complicated the supervisors’ annual effort to balance funding requests against county tax revenues as they considered whether — and how much — to adjust the real-estate tax rate. The school division will get an additional school-resource officer — a sworn law-enforcement officer — plus 11 school-security specialists next school year. Whether the latter group will be
armed, and whether the funds to pay them will come from the school division’s or sheriff’s office budget, are still to be determined. The school division has already advertised for three additional school-safety specialist positions, one for each of the county’s high schools. All schools — whether elementary, middle or high school — will be staffed with security personnel. Currently, only the high schools and middle schools have sworn sheriff’s deputies acting as school-resource officers.

GOOD EGGS Ancient art celebrates the symbols of spring By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ANITA L. SHERMAN You’ll find Carolyn Wysocki’s craft throughout her Amissville house; filling the nooks and crannies of her life. She was introduced to Ukrainian-style egg-decorating through a friend.
The art of decorating eggs is old, very old, dating back thousands of years when early man painted symbols of animals on eggs as a way of ensuring their capture. Decorating eggs in those primitive times took on a form of worship and spirit-snatching so that the essence of the animal or plant portrayed could be kept close to mind and heart. As man developed, so did the range of his color choices, techniques and motives. Decorated eggs, or pysanky, were given at special times like marriages, births and deaths as a gesture of good thoughts and well wishes.

FAUQUIER FOCUS An advocate for children, nature and caring When you meet this lady, it’s hard not to feel immediately at peace. Her aura resonates tranquility, her smile exudes happiness and her calm demeanor almost demands that you take a breath
and focus on the moment. It comes as no surprise then to learn that Gerry Eitner is president of Communities of Peace, a 501(c)(3) organization, launched nearly 20 years ago in 2000. It was initiated by an 8-year-old girl and her dedication of a peace pole for the Pentagon inscribed with “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” The pole still stands in the prayer room. That single act of clarity and purpose on the part of a child ignited a light in Gerry to keep the creative act and focus going. Over the years, a giant quilt has been pieced together representing thousands of children in 32 countries. Sections have hung in U.S. Congress and have been presented at official ceremonies at the United Nations, and D.C. embassies. World leaders have recog-

nized and respected the work of these children with engagement from three secretaries of state, one king, a governor, the secretary-general of UN and many local officials. Called the Children’s Cloth of Many Colors, each yard-square was lovingly made by children from around the globe. The third-mile-long narrow quilt has traveled to the steps of the Capitol Building and beyond. Gerry’s project did not go unnoticed with articles appearing in major media outlets like the Washington Post, Washington Times, Voice of America and many others. On the local level, children from Highland School, Fauquier County Public Schools, St. James’ Episcopal School, the Boys and Girls Club, scouts and homeschoolers have lent their hands and talents to craft sections. Air-Serv Humanitarian Airline personally flew sections, letters and gifts from Highland students to children in Afghanistan. Gerry’s latest “big sparkly vision” is to focus the quilt’s sections on humanity’s approach to climate change. As such, the sections would be themed on children and nature and perhaps ways that children would look to protect our environment. For Gerry, it’s about collaboration, caring and creation. Currently, two sections of the “Love of Nature” sections were taken to the COP23 climate change meeting in Bonn, Germany in December of last year. They were made by children from St. James’ Episcopal School and elementary students at P.B. Smith Elementary. Gerry is looking to expand her project. She has a section being made by children in upstate New York which may be presented at the upcoming COP24 conference in Poland. A group of Afghan children are making a section. Gerry’s been asked to present her project at the upcoming International Children’s Festival in D.C. at the end of April. Gerry smiles. While the quilt is amazing, for her, the “miracles” have happened in the process. Children caring, children sharing, political leaders approving and supporting, and, in the meantime, the Cloth of Many Colors keeps growing.

man said. He was arrested and taken into custody unharmed.
A Bealeton man was taken into custody Thursday, more than 18 hours after authorities were called to a domestic dispute on Morgansburg Road. James William Baker, 43, of Bealeton, was charged with brandishing a firearm and domestic assault. The incident began about 4:55 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, when deputies were called to a domestic altercation in progress at a home in the 11000 block of Morgansburg Road, south of Bealeton. The road was closed for several hours as law-enforcement officials attempted to make contact with an armed man holed up inside the residence, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. “Upon arrival, deputies encountered the victim and others and were told the male offender was armed and inside the residence,” said Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. James Hartman. Virginia State Police and the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office SWAT teams joined Fauquier authorities in responding to the incident. Finally, around 11:30 a.m. Thursday, March 22, law-enforcement found the man “concealed within the structure of the residence,” Hart-
Remington teen faces charges in vandalism spree The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office identified a 16-year-old Remington boy as a suspect in a rash of destruction-of-property crimes beginning at the end of February. The incidents began Feb. 25, with a reports of a damaged fence in the Wankoma Drive area in Remington, said county sheriff’s Sgt. James Hartman. Over several weeks, other property in the areas of Wankoma Village and West Main Street was reported damaged by spray paint, including street signs, a fence, a mailbox, two vehicles and other public property. Deputies were able to identify “several suspects” and narrowed the investigation to one individual, Hartman said. “Deputies are conducting further investigation and expect to obtain juvenile petitions charging the Remington youth in the next few days,” Hartman said. The sheriff’s office asks anyone who sustained damaged property that hasn’t been reported or anyone with further information to call 540-347-3300.
Fire destroys Catlett home Sunday night
A two-story home in Catlett was destroyed late Sunday by a fire that remains under investigation, according to the Catlett Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. At approximately 9:08 p.m. Sunday, Catlett units were dispatched for a residential structure fire. They arrived to find the house fully involved with fire, the department said in a press release. “The fire created several challenges for the crews operating, some of which included the structural instability of the home, as well an exposure to small livestock barns with animals,” the release said. There were no injuries reported as a result of the fire. The Red Cross was called for the residents. The scene was turned over to the fire marshal for investigation.

GOOD EGGS: Ancient art celebrates the symbols of spring EGGS from page 1 Eggs were even often tucked into caskets so their happy images would follow the deceased. In Ukraine, egg-decorating incorporated the rich symbolism of Christianity. A butterfly was the resurrection; birds symbolized fertility; ladders suggested prayer; dots and small circles were images for the stars or constellations and the cross represented the four corners of the world.
Enter the artist
It’s this rich history that caught Amissville resident Carolyn Wysocki’s eye some four decades ago. She was introduced to Ukrainian-style egg-decorating through a friend whose husband worked in the Slavic-language department at Penn State. Laughing, she describes her heritage as a German-English-Scottish-Irish mixture, but her husband, Joe, hails from an Eastern European background. “He’s very Polish,” she grins while assembling the tools of her craft on their kitchen table. “I just love Eastern European folk art,” she says. “Since before Christ… the egg has been a symbol of spring in many countries.” Carolyn doesn’t cross herself and pray for guidance as devout Ukrainian women once did before starting to decorate their Easter eggs. But she does pause momentarily, and you can tell her designer brain is fo-
cused on just what symbolic meaning she’ll bring to life. Her work station includes many books that she lovingly pores through to gather ideas for future designs. There are dozens of white eggs waiting for their transformations into dazzling ovals. More sit on a rack in various design stages: some with penciled motifs, others with one or two coats of dye, and still others nearly complete. There is a small candle, its flame used to delicately remove wax or melt the beeswax that is used to apply the Carolyn Wysocki often-complex motifs. At the head of the table sits Carolyn, a diva decorator, ready to share step-by-step instructions. She teaches classes, and a group of students will arrive later. The afternoon sunlight floods her work area, casting soft and fluid light on her and the eggs she is so passionate about transforming. At one point, she holds up an egg with dye-colored fingers, marveling at its shape. Her face beams, her smile broadens. “I just love eggs…they are one of the most beautiful shapes in nature,” she says, noting that many of the designs used on the eggs are geometric.
Carolyn admits that when she’s working on her eggs, the rest of the world’s troubles go away. “I just enjoy the moment. It’s very relaxing…takes the pressure of life off.” Practicing her delicate art, Carolyn deftly pencils a design on the egg’s clean, white surface. Then, she uses an instrument called a “kistka” to apply a thin line of beeswax. The kistka (some are electric) can be described as a stylist. It has a very small cartridge that you carefully fill (scope) with beeswax, which is then heated in a flame until it melts, allowing it to be painstakingly applied. Carolyn makes it look easy but she’s holding an egg, strong enough to be outfitted in decorative splendor yet fragile enough to break at any moment. The yolk is eventually sucked out, but that is done when the egg is completely dyed, not before. Having spent more than 20 years in Gainesville, the Wysockis have called their haven in Amissville home for 11 years. Woodsy and quiet, it has provided a good working studio for Carolyn and her craft. Dyes and tools come from a Ukrainian supplier located in Minnesota. Carolyn’s academic background is in the arts. She spent several years as an interior designer. She’s taught classes at community colleges, community centers and for clubs and organizations. She prefers smaller, intimate gatherings to larger classroom settings.
“That’s pretty,” says her husband as he comes into the kitchen to marvel at her latest creation. “I’ve no patience for this,” he chuckles, “but I do consider myself a patron of the arts.” Dozens of small mason jars sit on the counter, each containing a different color dye. “They can last more than a year,” says Carolyn, gingerly dipping her current egg into a glistening green. The dyes are deep in hue unlike the tablet variety that fill retail stores at this time of year. Green symbolizes hope and the victory over death. It is the color of Christmas and Easter. Blue is life-giving air, good health and blue skies. Purple speaks of fasting, patience and trust. Most eggs end with black dye which makes the other colors pop. It speaks to remembrance. “I love Easter,” smiles Carolyn, “I enjoy giving the eggs as gifts.” Husband Joe enjoys eggs as well… but for eating. “He has to fight for them,” laughs Carolyn, “I still want to make the perfect egg…I haven’t done that yet.” Carolyn is open to small classes throughout the year. These decorated eggs done in reds and greens make unique Christmas ornaments as well. If you have interest, you can reach her at 540-764-4200. Anita L. Sherman is the Community Editor.

Tax bills going up for schools, public safety — but not new library BILLS from page 1 The board approved $766,234 to cover the 12 new positions. Schools Superintendent David Jeck sought an additional $6 million from the county. The county is providing an additional $3.2 million. The school division will net $5.2 million by cutting proposed expenditures and shifting some costs, according to Erin Kozanecki, the county’s director of management and budget. The school division will receive $89,255,351 in local funds to support its overall operating fund budget of $140,771,345. The local support amounts to 63 percent of the overall budget.
County staff adds 3 positions
The county will fill three new positions: a budget manager, family services worker and a custodian. The supervisors declined to fund other requested new positions — an assistant county administrator, a buyer, data
technician, an information security analyst, a marketing coordinator and a project manager. The county’s fire-and-rescue department will receive $1,515,859 for 13 new full-time positions to boost station staffing and to promote nine officers currently in the department, three to the rank of captain and six to the rank of lieutenant. The county has 11 fire-andrescue stations staffed by career people and volunteers handling 14,000 fireand-rescue calls annually. The approved budget includes a 1.4 percent cost-of-living adjustment and a 1-percent merit increase to all full- and part-time county employees. Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo, first elected to the board in 2008, urged newer supervisors not to leave the meeting “hanging their heads.” “This is not the end of the world,” he said, following the vote they took to raise taxes. Trumbo said he “knew we had to face a reckoning” this budget cycle.
Kindergarten pre-registration dates announced Kindergarten pre-registration for children attending Fauquier County Public Schools will be held April 9-13. Children who are 5 on or before Sept. 30 are eligible for kindergarten. The following should be completed online beginning April 9 and may be completed in schools, if necessary: go to www. fcps1.org and click on the enrollment button, confirm the child’s school zone and complete the online portion of the pre-registration. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on April 9-13, a parent should visit the school the child will attend. Some schools may require
“I’m not happy about a tax increase that will [affect] some folks who can’t afford it,” Trumbo said. The additions the board made to the budget came down to “spending money on things we think we should be spending on,” namely education and public safety, Trumbo said.
No funding for new library
Center District Supervisor Chris Granger requested a separate vote on the county’s five-year capital improvements budget. Granger’s was the sole vote against its passage, and that was because the spending plan does not fund a new library in Warrenton. He said the new library has broad community support as evidenced by supporters’ willingness to raise half of the estimated $15 million construction cost if the county provided the other half. Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler of Lee District said he felt the “timing was off” on the new library. “The middle school situation is
the child be present at the time of registration so check with your school. The following documents should be presented: • Photo ID of parent/guardian, original birth certificate (If unable to provide, an affidavit may be completed explaining why the birth certificate is not available.) • Custody papers (if applicable) • A Virginia School Entrance Health form signed by a physician. This form must include a current immunization record and must be dated within one year of the enrollment date. This must be submitted to the school nurse for
something that I’d like to see put to rest,” Butler said, referring to the split between the supervisors and school board over whether a new middle school should be built to combine the Taylor and Warrenton middle schools at the Taylor site. The adopted CIP totals $72.2 million from fiscal 2019 through fiscal 2023, with an additional $218.1 million designated for future fiscal years. Over the five-year planning period, $5.3 million would be allocated for public safety and fire and rescue projects, $2.7 million for parks and recreational projects, $7.6 million for environmental services projects, $22.1 million for utility and infrastructure projects including $16 million for broadband development, $200,000 for airport projects, and $34.3 million for school division projects. Supervisors slated $3 million for a renovation or expansion of Warrenton Middle in 2019 and an additional $30 million in 2020 in the new CIP budget. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com.

Fauquier Dems draw candidates, crowd at annual dinner By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County Democrats showed in numbers and enthusiasm Saturday that they are charged up for the campaign to win the 5th District congressional seat this November. The committee’s annual commonwealth dinner March 24 drew a crowd of about 150, nearly double last year’s turnout of 80, according to one attendee. This year’s fundraiser, held at Alwyngton Manor in Warrenton, drew all four candidates seeking the Democratic nomination to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett, who was
elected in 2016 and is serving his first term. The 5th District includes most of Fauquier County and part or all of 20 other counties plus the cities of Charlottesville and Danville. Hoping to win the party’s nomination at a May 5 convention in Farmville are Leslie Cockburn of Rappahannock County and Andrew Sneathern, Ben Cullop and Roger Dean Huffstetler, all of Albemarle County. The Fauquier County Democratic Committee will hold a caucus April 21 at the Warrenton Community Center to select 17 delegates and five alternates to attend the Farmville convention.
Candidates talk health care, education, gun violence
The candidates seeking the 5th District nomination had five minutes at the lectern to present their case. “This country is in deep trouble. This is a critical time. I wouldn’t be here otherwise,” said Cockburn, a former journalist. She said her plan to enjoy a rural life in Rappahannock changed when President Donald Trump was elected in 2016. “I was so offended by him as a woman and a journalist,” she said. Cockburn said she’s come to realize what’s at stake during her travels through the 5th District.
Affordable and accessible health care at every age level is a problem and one that drives some 700,000 people into bankruptcy each year, she said. Cockburn said she supports making Medicare available to everyone, not just those age 65 and over. Cullop, a former admissions dean at the University of Virginia and, more recently, a financial advisor, said, “When people are struggling to find a good job and high-quality health care, that’s personal for me. We can do better. We can do better than Tom Garett. We can do better than Donald Trump.” Cullop talked about the more than $500,000 he said it cost to save his daughter’s life after she was born three months premature. “It shouldn’t cost a fortune to be healthy,” he said. Cullop said he supports U.S. Sen. Kaine’s Medicare X proposal, which would extend Medicare to all, regardless of age. He also said access to a quality education shouldn’t depend on where one lives, noting: “A ZIP code shouldn’t determine education outcomes.” When it came his time, Huffstetler said, “Our government is broken, and Tom Garrett is the poster child for that dysfunction.” He said the Republican incumbent puts ideology first. Huffstetler, a Marine veteran and businessman, called for an end to gun violence and the adoption of a tax system “that works.” More needs to be done to close what he called the “middle-skills gap.” By doing so, “we’d get back to rebuilding the middle class,” Huffstetler said. Sneathern, an attorney, called for more efforts to help those who are struggling. He recalled witnessing “my little town shriveling up and dying” and seeing his father cry when he had to sell off his farm equipment. “If someone is suffering, we all suffer. When we lift someone up, we’re all strengthened by that,” Sneathern said. Providing adequate health care “is not a right, it’s an obligation.” Kaine, who’s about to launch his campaign for re-election, was an added attraction at the commonwealth dinner. He was introduced by his wife, Anne Holton, former Virginia secretary of education and current member of the state board of education, who was the featured speaker, Kaine (D) is seeking a second sixyear term this November. Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large; Del. Nick Freitas, R-30th, the Rev. E.W. Jackson, Bert Mizusawa and Ivan Raiklin are all seeking the Republican nomination to run against Kaine. The Republicans will select their candidate in the June 12 statewide primary. Holton talked about participating in the March for Our Lives event earlier in the day in Richmond. “We don’t have to be discouraged when there are those young people to lead us,” Holton said. “They’re going to turn it around and take us forward.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Happy Easter! An Easter Letter to All Children Dear Children, Isn’t Easter a happy time with birds singing and flowers blooming? There is new life all around as trees bud and grass grows again after the cold of winter. Some families have fun, decorating eggs and making candy treats for others. Easter dinner is usually a special event for family and friends. Churches are full of flowers and glorious music. With all of this taking place, it seems that even the warm breeze is singing a song and the world is full of joy. The world is joyful because Jesus conquered sin and death. God gives us celebrations to help us remember special things. Did you ever think about the fact that there were thirty-three years between the first Christmas and the first Easter? There were thirtythree years from the time of Jesus’ birth in the stable until His death on the cross and resurrection on Easter morning. This same Jesus who came into the world as a tiny baby, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, and then laid down His life willingly to pay for our sins. Since He made us and paid for our sin, He is able to forgive us and make a home for us in Heaven. Our part is to be sorry for our sins, choose to do what is right, and ask Jesus Christ to live His life of love through us. What a great adventure! My prayer is that you will read your Bible and get to know Jesus as your best friend. Life is wonderful with Him. He gives us a happy heart. That’s why we say “Happy Easter”! Lots of love, Mrs. Bloom

It’s all about showing: chickens, horses and houses By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
It began with the loud, beguiling cry of “cock-a-doodle-doo” from the other side of a Southern California barn a few years ago. That’s when and where native Virginian Snowden Clarke got his own personal wake-up call about the possibility of raising chickens, and not just any old breed. These days, at Orange Hill Farm in Marshall, Clarke looks after a flock of very special feathered friends, known as American serama chickens, a breed first brought to the U.S. from Malaysia in the early 2000s. They’re bantam “show” chickens, and Clarke has en-

tered many of them in competitions all around the country. The serama are characterized by their upright posture, full breast, vertical tail feathers held upright and tight to the body and vertical wings nearly touching the ground. They’re the smallest breed of chicken in the world, and their eggs are not quite suitable for Easter painting or rolling because they’re half the size of store-bought chicken eggs. “They were originally bred for their aesthetics, character and temperament,” Clarke said, “and we’ve modified the breed and named it the American serama.” Clarke knows all about showing.

After all, he’s a real-estate agent with Thomas & Talbot in Middleburg. And he’s also a lifetime horseman and widely-regarded horse show rider and trainer, as well as an avid fox-hunter. Raising and breeding these colorful chickens have also lately become among his most passionate pursuits. About 50 seramas are housed in a large space off the walking ring on the farm, and they seem to have free rein. They also get along famously with both humans and other pets. A barn cat casually walks among them, as does Clarke’s Jack Russell terrier, and they all appear to get along famously. “The attraction for me is very similar to model horses,” Clarke said. “They’re judged on conformation—chest, tail, PHOTO BY VICKY MOON coloring, character, performance.

Airport summit aims to help Fauquier’s economy take off By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
In a push to help new business growth take off, the Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce will hold its first economic summit at the airport next week, featuring a “Fauquier is business friendly” message and offering a free trip to Martha’s Vineyard on a brand-new corporate jet. “If we don’t build it, they won’t come,” Warrenton/Fauquier Airport Enterprise Director Dave Darrah will tell those at the summit in a reference to growing the county and the new terminal under construction at the airport. At the April 5 meeting, Darrah will explain how business aviation supports agriculture, aerial survey and air cargo, in addition to flights for business, pleasure, medical, emergency-response and law-enforcement. He also says the airport contributes to the county’s tourism. Tom Wisemiller, Warrenton’s new economic development manager, sees Fauquier as “having the best of both worlds: a gateway between urbanized NOVA and the mountains to the west.” Wisemiller is planning to point to writer and urban theorist Joel Garreau, who in a recent Ted Talk described Warrenton-Fauquier “as having good potential for prosperity in coming years.” Back in 1991, Wisemiller says,
An artist’s rendering of the new terminal under construction at the Warrenton/ Fauquier Airport
Garreau “coined the term ‘edge cities,’ which were the dominant development paradigm for decades.” “Garreau’s quintessential edge city was Tysons Corner: big glass office buildings and regional indoor shopping malls built at the suburban/exurban ‘edges’ of larger metro areas, a car-centric environment, with lots of highway interchanges and surface parking lots,” Wisemiller said. But, Wisemiller says, Garreau now thinks cities are “on the cusp of decline.” The new paradigm, according to Garreau, is the “Santa Fe-ing of America” — mid-sized “authentic” cities and towns that are plugged into the information economy yet beyond the edge of heavy urbanization. A decade ago “these places were too far off the grid, but not for much longer,” Garreau says. The “only places that will thrive [in the next few decades] are those that are good

for face-to-face.” Garreau put Warrenton and Fauquier County on his list of up-and-coming places. The summit will be held in Fauquier entrepreneur Ralph Crafts’ hanger. To help drive interest in the event, Crafts has donated a free trip for four to Martha’s Vineyard on his twin-engine six-passenger jet as a door prize. Crafts was central in helping the county fund and design the new airport terminal, particularly the rainwater-harvesting system that he hopes will serve as a model to the rest of the county. At the summit, he plans to explain how Fauquier’s schools, churches and other organizations could capture rainwater off their roofs in a way that would not only help the environment, but also produce new revenues streams. Crafts said he believes rainwa-
ter harvesting could produce a Girl Scout cookie-like new product that could make tens of thousands of dollars for each school if students captured and bottled school-branded filtered water and got their families to buy it instead of the national brands they purchase now. “Can you imagine the support and excitement for Fauquier Rainwater, Inc.? Or Fauquier Skywater, Inc.?” Crafts plans to ask the summit attendees. He has purchased skywaternow.com, fauquierrainwater.com, fauquierskywater.com and says he “will gladly give these URLs to anyone who comes to me with a serious intent to pursue rainwater harvesting opportunities.” Miles Friedman, director of economic development for the county, says the county is moving “toward a more proactive support for businesses,” to “enhance, strengthen and grow our local economy, without compromising the quality of life, culture, history and green values of our community.” Friedman sees existing businesses and entrepreneurs as “the heart of a strong local economic development program” and supporting them with a “solid relationship” the “best attraction for new businesses.” “We are the champions of green economic development” and “we’re just getting started,” Friedman said.

Court sets post-election hearing for restraining-order appeal Tricky timing for town council candidates By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
Keith Macdonald, a candidate in the upcoming May 1 Warrenton Town Council race, is appealing the restraining order Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds won against him earlier this month. But the hearing won’t happen until June, which could complicate both the campaign and Macdonald’s ability to serve on the council if elected. Reynolds (at large) received a
permanent protective order against Macdonald from a Fauquier County General District Court judge March 5. The order requires Macdonald to keep his distance from Reynolds for one year. A Fauquier County General District Court Judge J. Gregory Ashwell approved the restraining order based on Reynolds’ description of a February encounter with Macdonald at Claire’s at the Depot restaurant. Reynolds said Macdonald made her fear for her safety when he approached her that night to talk about town council matters while she dined with a friend. Macdonald continues to deny he

did anything to threaten Reynolds and says her filing “was completely unfair” and done “only for political reasons.” The restraining order prevents Macdonald and Reynolds from being in the same room. If the Fauquier County Circuit Court upholds the restraining order at the June hearing — and both Reynolds and Macdonald win seats in the upcoming election — the two might not be able to share the council dais. Warrenton Town Manager Brannon Godfrey said the conundrum would have to be looked at by Town Attorney Whit Robinson, who declined to comment. “I do not comment on pending cases nor election scenarios,” Robinson said. Warrenton Town Council members can participate in meetings remotely now that the town livestreams its meetings and has the necessary audio technology in place to allow members to participate if they cannot attend in person. Both Reynolds and Councilman Sean Polster (at large) are running for re-election against challengers Macdonald, a Warrenton real-estate investor, and medical-device salesman Renard Carlos. At the same election, Old Town businessman Carter Nevill and Warrenton legal assistant Grace Rigby are vying to replace retiring Warrenton Mayor Powell Duggan. Meanwhile, Macdonald’s legal
Keith Macdonald troubles grew last week when Trey Austin, a Warrenton realtor, filed a defamation lawsuit against him in Fauquier County Circuit Court based on comments Macdonald posted on Facebook earlier this month. In a March 11 post on his Facebook page, Macdonald wrote that Reynolds improperly “pushed through” the approval of a land-use application that benefitted Austin. Austin’s lawsuit reportedly seeks $200,000 in damages as well as expenses incurred during his legal challenge. Reynolds said there is no truth to Macdonald’s claims. “The bottom line is that lot should never exist,” Macdonald said in reference to a residential lot at issue in the Facebook post. “Someone got a favor. It’s a simple as that.”

Hard decisions In approving a new budget March 22, Fauquier County supervisors found themselves in an unpopular situation. Despite dropping the real-estate tax rate — from the current $1.039 per $100 in assessed value to $0.982 — their vote will still mean higher tax bills for Fauquier County residents. On average, property owners will pay $375 more than they did last year. That’s mostly because property values are also going up. They increased an average 17.7 percent over the past four years according to the recent countywide reassessment. That’s generally good news. Rising tax bills, however, are generally not considered good news. But this year, the supervisors deemed them necessary to address needs in public safety and education, both of which have been foremost in everyone’s minds over the last few weeks. The supervisors’ budget includes several new school-safety specialist positions, a last-minute addition made in the wake of the Feb. 14 Florida school shootings. Not included in the new OUR VIEW budget was funding for a new library. Previous versions of the county’s five-year capital improvement plan dedicated money to the new library in hopes of building it within the next five years. But the recently approved CIP pushes the project off into the ambiguous “future years” section of the county’s building plan. The supervisors switched gears when they found themselves in a position of having to balance immediate county needs — including more funding for additional school-division and fire-and-rescue department staff — against the need to keep real-estate tax bills from rising too high, too fast. In addition to the extra 12 school-security positions, the county’s fire-and-rescue department will receive $1,515,859 for 13 new full-time positions to boost station staffing and to promote nine officers currently in the department. A new library is a hot-button topic for many residents who consider a benefit to the general welfare of the public as “a need,” and not just “a want,” as some supervisors have suggested. And that stance is certainly hard to argue with. State-of-the-art libraries in purposefully-built buildings provide technologies and resources of great benefit to the communities they serve. And a great deal of thought has already gone into the design of a future 30,000-square-foot library that we hope will become part of Warrenton’s landscape in the coming years. For now, however, we’ll remain patient. A tax increase is a bitter pill to swallow, particularly amid concerns that some will find it difficult to afford. But we agree it was a step that had to be taken to provide for education and public-safety needs the supervisors saw as necessary to the betterment of the community. We trust the library, also a need, will be funded as soon as possible. Unlike the federal government, which seemingly adds expenses without much concern about whether taxpayers can cover the cost, our local government must be good stewards of the purse. Paying for what the community needs right now is the top priority — and a hard decision.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES
A trash fire behind the Keith N. Fletcher Motors dealership on Broadview Avenue on June 11, 1966 was so hot that it smashed window panes and sent clouds of smoke into the air. Testing equipment and work benches inside were damaged as well as the roof, but no cars were lost.
75 Years Ago April 1, 1943 Fauquier County authorities, at the request of the county’s farmers, this week opened a campaign to require idlers and loafers to work, fight or go to jail. One man who declined to work was sentenced to six months as a vagrant, and Sheriff W. S. Woolf was asked to draw up a list of other able-bodied non-workers for action by the court. Aim of the campaign is to put men who are able to work but won’t on the farms, where they are more and more needed as the heavy spring season approaches. On request of Lt. Col. Leland W. Skaggs, recruiting and instruction officer in Richmond, Mayor Wallace N. Tiffany has proclaimed the week of April 4 as Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps Week in Warrenton. Well known Warrenton resident Lt. Col. R. J. Kirkpatrick is now stationed in Australia. 50 Years Ago April 4, 1968 Development of North Wales estate into a major housing project was handed two temporary setbacks last Wednesday at a Planning Commission meeting. The preliminary plat for 3,061 lots was tabled for what commission consultant Rosser Payne Jr. termed a lack of information on water supply, street design and sewage disposal. Also,
there was a recommendation to defer action on the developer’s Planned Cluster Community zoning amendment, as the county does not have its own version of the ordinance. Henry C. Green, farmer and orchardist of Markham, has been appointed supervisor of the John Marshall soil and Water Conservation District, to fill the unexpired term of his late brother, James R. Green. School Superintendent Ryland Dishner took a plea for acceptance of next year’s $3.4 million school budget into home communities last week. “According to figures from neighboring communities, we’ll actually be losing ground,” he said. 25 Years Ago March 31, 1993 Rep. Frank Wolf, R-10th, led a delegation of local officials and representatives from the General Services Administration on a tour of Vint Hill two weeks ago. He stressed that his interest was in making sure the GSA was aware of all the facilities at the Fauquier post in the event that another federal tenant might move into the facility if — and when — the Army moves out. George H. Jolly III of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office was honored by the Morrisville-Bristersburg Ruritan Club as its Officer of the Quarter. Jolly, a supervisor in the department’s patrol division, has been with the Sheriff’s Office since August 1984.

Facts about Virginia League of Conservation Voters
Schumacher supporter urges preservation, conservation
I wish to respond to the letter from Michael Town, Virginia League of Conservation Voters (VLCV) in the March 21 edition. Although Mr. Town says, “We and our members work on behalf of Virginians who support access to the same clean air, clean water, and open spaces. These are not Democratic, or Republican issues,” it is clear through their donations that VLCV believes that the vast majority of Republicans support dirty air, dirty water, and have no appreciation of a beautiful viewshed. The few dollars VLCV donates to Republicans does not nullify the millions of dollars they have donated to Democratic candidates. Here are facts that can be verified through Virginia Public Access Project. This organization was founded by Leslie Cheek III, a current member of the FCRC. This
“Republican” also authored a letter printed on March 7, which invited Democrats to vote in the upcoming Republican Party canvass; a privilege which will not be extended to them under the Party Plan of the Republican Party of Virginia. Donations by VLCV for “All Years” shows they donated $6.2 Million to Democratic candidates, with $5.2 Million or 84 percent of total VLCV contributions going to top tier Democrats. During the same period VLCV donated 1.4 percent to Republicans and 0.64 percent to “other” candidates. VLCV has never donated $1 to a statewide Republican candidate. So is VLCV nonpartisan? Should Mr. Cheek and others like him continue to be a members of the FCRC?
My son the farmer, Jesse, at Whiffletree Farm, recommended a book to me by Hope Porter titled, “The Saga of North Wales.” I dutifully read it and learned the wonderful history of the iconic property next door to Whiffletree, and the very significant effort made by Hope Porter, Til Hazel and many others to thwart the development of the then 4,200acre tract into a massive planned community. In the late 1960s, just as the “comprehensive plan” was being slowly put together, there was a major effort by a developer from Arkansas (Cooper) to put in as many as 10,000 homes. Fortunately, through hard work, strategic delays and persistent politicking, the developer was discouraged and went elsewhere. North Wales, Whiffletree and 25 percent of Fauquier County is now in permanent easement and will remain so. The comprehen-
sive plan is firm now with lots of precedence set for slow, manageable, “smart” growth. Continued vigilance is required but our Fauquier residents and supervisors are committed to preserving our wonderful county. Local activism is a civic duty and well demonstrated by many who have come before. We are about to reconstitute our local Republican committee (happens every two years). Join us in electing spirited, inclusive, conservative citizens who will rally around Greg Schumacher as chairman. The Fauquier County Republican Committee is committed to preserve/conserve our county and reach out to all people who, we believe, will benefit from Republican governing principles. Vote April 14 at the Fauquier High School.
There’s nothing I enjoy more for dinner than baked codfish dished up on boiled potatoes. And, while out shopping the taste buds never fail to lead me to the grocery store seafood counter to check the price on this favorite fish. It was on such a routine outing last Wednesday that a chill shot down my spine when I saw the wrapped codfish at a Warrenton supermarket was marked “product of Russia.” No kidding, my first thought was, “Is it safe?” This was right after Britain determined that the Russians had used a banned chemical warfare agent to poison three people in Salisbury, England. After Russia posted on the internet video of their H-bombs incinerating American cities. After Russian cyberwarfare units tried to hack the voter registration rolls right here
in Virginia and in dozens of other states in an attempt to destroy our democratic process. And, after the Russian foreign minister called our concerns about all this “boorish,” when we complained. I guess this overpriced Russian codfish must have slipped through the sanctions net and made it to the supermarket on Route 211. In the U.S. we harvest cod in Alaska, off the New England coast and many of our NATO allies bring this product to market. So why in the world is this Russian codfish on the shelf right here in river city? On this one I’ll think globally and act locally. It’s catfish for me. Let Vladimir Putin stew in his own cod.
The second amendment to the Constitution begins with “A WELL REGULATED MILITIA.” The term militia refers to a civilian unit form to protect the states (the colonies) against attacks and invasions. Like the other colonies, the Virginia State Assembly, during it’s infancy, legislated into existence a State “Safety Commission” which consisted of mostly volunteers. This unit of mostly volunteers were lead by appointed commissioned and non-commissioned officers. A young George Washington was commissioned, colonel, and lead the Virginia State Safety Commission during the French/ Indian wars. The Virginia Safety Commission was, in fact “a well regulated militia” during this and other wars. “The People,” associated with Safety Commissions
(militias), in fact, had and continue to have, “a constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” that right “shall not be infringed.” The likelihood, however, of belonging to a militia today is greatly diminished, given that America now has a standing army (a professional, well established, well regulated military). Thus, if you are not currently a member of a militia, you have no “constitutional right” to keep and bear arms; no right to gun ownership. There might, however, be a legal right to gun ownership as a matter of state statute; such statutes will vary from state to state. Another Supreme Court challenge is in order.

Spring is in the air, and so is color By Nancy Powell
Powell Brower Interiors info@powellbrowerinteriors.com
With the change of the seasons brings adjustments inside and outside of our homes. The opportunity to open the windows and let fresh air fill the house is a welcome event. This spring, color is back in a big way in interior design, and spring is the perfect time to refresh your home’s color palette. Interiors dressed in all white, or all gray are now being injected with more bold hues. The design world and the supporting industries have introduced 2018 colors through paint suppliers. Following are some of the hot colors this year, many of which are different iterations of hues we’ve seen in the recent past. Behr’s color of the year is In the Moment, a version of teal green that has been popular now for a few years but with new undertones. We are seeing a lot of In the Moment
green colors of all varieties in the design world this year. Sherwin Williams’ choice is Oceanside, which the company describes as follows: “A complex, deep color that offers a sense of the familiar with a hint of the unknown, Oceanside, bridges together a harmonious balance of blues and greens that can be found in what’s old and new.” Oceanside Caliente is Benjamin Moore’s color of the year; vibrant, sassy and bold. Valspar’s Charcoal Brown is punctuating the comeback of earth tones that are “not your mother’s earth tones,” but rather an Caliente

updated version. As a designer, I’ve seen that rooms that are too trendy will not stand the test of time. Neutral colors are often the best palette to give you flexibility and flow throughout your home. You can always add bold colors as accents and accessories and not be committed to a Charcoal Brown strong color on your walls. It’s spring. Why not step out of your comfort zone and try something different? Start with colors that you like to wear and that look good on you. Don’t be afraid to try dark colors, even in small spaces. It visually ‘pushes’ the walls back and cozies up the space. Decide on the feeling you want your home to evoke, then plan a color palette around that feeling. Do you want calm and restful, fun and invigorating, creative and free-spirited, or serious and quiet? Paint can help make that happen. It’s the single most impactful and least expensive decorating statement you can make in your home.

The English are known for their love of gardening and can be said to have invented the “cottage style” in design and landscaping long before the rest of the world even knew that was a thing. The charming look of abundant, colorful window boxes with a riot of flowers and cascading greens is easy to achieve if you follow a few simple guidelines.
1. First, consider the container.
If it’s not already attached to the house, make sure that the one you select is installed securely enough to support the final weight when filled and watered. The top edge should be level with the bottom of the window and it should be roughly the same width. If the box is already mounted, especially under a second story window, you can do your planting in a plastic liner that fits in the box, then just drop it in. Whether you’re planting in a liner or directly in the box, there are three critical things to remember, and they are: (a) drainage (b) drainage (c) drainage Did I mention drainage? Your window box is a large oblong flower pot and, like any other flower pot, it needs holes at the bottom for drainage — if yours doesn’t have them, fire up the drill. In addition to drainage holes, you should also place a very thin layer of packing peanuts or crushed Styrofoam cups across the bottom — this is a light-weight alternative to the traditional gravel base. Then fill the box about three-quarters full with fresh potting mix, not heavy garden dirt or topsoil, making sure to reserve enough to fill in the spaces after you get the plants in. Now comes the fun part.
2. Thriller, filler, spiller.
This is a popular formula for arranging plants in a window box, and it all but guarantees success. Put in girly terms, the thriller is the diva in the arrangement: a showy, high-impact specimen which serves as a dramatic focal point; it’s usually a taller, upright plant which commands attention, and it goes smack in the middle.
The fillers are the diva’s BFFs: they surround the thriller, making up the main body of the planting and forming a happy, dense-looking mass of color; these babies help create the look of abundance that’s typical of cottage style. Finally, the spillers are the hangers-on: low, trailing plants placed at the front and sides of the box which flow over the edges and hang down; these can be green or flowering vines or any plant with a trailing habit, in colors that complement the fillers. Once you get the plants in the box all nice and cozy, fill any gaps with the remaining potting mix, add a little plant food, and water it well. For a touch of English whimsy, add a small ornament like a tiny teapot, decorative birdhouse, or miniature garden gnome.
3. As with girlfriends, an important issue in plant selection is compatibility.
Depending on the exposure of the window box, the plants you select must have the same requirements for sun or shade. Similarly, some plants are delicate teetotalers that like to dry out between waterings while others are thirsty lushes one drink away from a major intervention; if you combine them, you risk damaging both. Different plants also have different feeding requirements; read the care instructions or ask the staff at the garden center to be sure you’re combining selections that not only look good together but also thrive in the same environment. Done right, your mini cottage garden provides charming views from two distinct vantage points: when standing outside and looking at the house, and when sitting inside and looking out the open window (added bonus: gentle floral fragrance wafting into the room.) Stella Veraduccia is the pen-name of the proprietress of Crest Hill Antiques & Tea Room in The Plains. In past lives, she was an English teacher and founder of a fictitious organization called The International Sisterhood of Eccentric Aunties. These days she escapes to England whenever possible.

3 backyard projects you can tackle in a weekend (BPT) - Now that warmer weather has finally arrived, you want to be outside to enjoy it. Your backyard could be the perfect place to bask in the sun, entertain friends or indulge in your hobbies. It just needs a little sprucing up, and the right projects can help. Best of all, many of these projects are quick and easy. To get you started, here are three projects you can accomplish in a spring weekend and enjoy all summer long.
from your outer circle to make the inner wall of your pit. Fill this area with small stones to serve as the foundation, and lay wet concrete on the ground to solidify and build that foundation. If you do not have the tools you need to successfully make concrete, you can always rent them to eliminate the need for a one-time purchase. Once the foundation is ready, apply mortar and stones around the ring. Build up the fire pit wall with additional mortar and stones. After the pit has been built to a height of your choosing, use a brush to remove excess mortar from the inside. You may also spray the inside with a can of spray paint to give your pit’s interior a uniform look.
gular planter. If you lack a saw to cut them with, you can always rent one. Once your strips are cut, butt the ends together and apply wood glue at the joints to secure the fit. Drill a screw into each end to solidify the fit. Next, attach the bottom panels with glue and drill a screw through the ends of the bottom panels into the sides for a more secure fit. Finish by lightly sanding any rough or unseemly spaces on the foundations. Add a touch of paint or stain to improve the planter’s appearance and offer long-term protection.
Planning the planters
Forging a fire pit Whether it’s an afternoon gathering or an evening under the stars, adding a fire pit to your backyard is a great way to make an enjoyable get-together last even longer. And building one is easier than you think. Start by marking the center of your pit in the ground. Spray a circle around the center, outlining your pit’s desired circumference - say 5 feet. Dig this space to a depth of 6 inches. In your newfound pit, make a similar circle 12 inches in
If you’ve always wanted to add a pop of color to your backyard, planter boxes can be just the ticket. They are relatively simple to build yourself. Start by choosing a wood, like cedar, for your project. Cut four strips with two half the length of your other two, but sharing the same height. These strips will form the foundation of your rectan-
Shedding new light on the shed If you’re going to spend more time in your backyard this year, it’s time to finally do something about that old shed you’ve been ignoring for years. Fortunately, something as small as a new coat of paint can have a large impact on your shed’s appearance.

TRAVEL
Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | March 28, 2018
Go from vacation deprivation to vacation inspiration (BPT) - Pop quiz: When was the last time you took a vacation? A real vacation, not one of those staycations where you stuck around town to finish a project at your home? Do you even remember your last vacation? If you don’t, then you are officially vacation deprived. And you’re not alone. Research from Expedia’s 2017 Vacation Deprivation report shows that 50 percent of Americans are vacation deprived and that approximately 462 million vacation days will go unused this year. The study also found that millennials are the most vacation-deprived age group and that people who live in urban areas reported being more vacation deprived than those who lived in suburban or rural areas.
What’s causing the vacation deprivation? Not surprisingly, time and money - or lack thereof - were two of the most common reasons people reported not using their vacation. Another large group of respondents said that even when they find time to go on vacation, they struggle to unplug. A quarter said they still check email and/or voicemails every day while on vacation, with millennials being the
the peak holiday travel days by leaving a day early and staying a day later. • Bundle and save. Another often-overlooked way to save a ton of money on travel is to book your flight and hotel or flight and rental car at the same time as part of a travel package. Booking as a package can save an average of up to $600, and that extra money will come in handy while you’re enjoying your vacation or hitting the shops. most common offenders.
Finding the perfect vacation for you If you’ve felt vacation deprived for the past year - or longer - then there’s no better time than the present to take the vacation you always wanted and leave your vacation deprivation behind for good. To get you started, the experts at Expedia offer these tips: • Back to the beach. Many places throughout the Caribbean and Florida were minimally affected by the recent hurricanes and are welcoming tourists. Destinations like the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Aruba and the Bahamas
are still the exotic getaways you always dreamed they’d be, and when you visit them, you’ll actually be supporting hurricane recovery efforts for the whole region through your tourist dollars. • Book right. The holidays are a wonderful time to travel because schools and offices are closed. However, many other would-be travelers are thinking the same thing; that’s why knowing when to book and when to fly is key for saving time and money. For Christmas travel, for example, Expedia has found that booking between Dec. 5 and 11 will yield you about 5 percent in savings. Furthermore, avoid
• Precheck, precheck, precheck. Save yourself a lot of time and security line headaches by applying for TSA precheck. You’ll get to skip the longest lines at security and keep your shoes on. It’s absolutely worth the $85 fee, and your application lasts five years.
Start your travel plans today If you’ve been vacation deprived, don’t continue to settle for being just another statistic. You work hard and you deserve to get away. Pick a destination, apply the tips above and start planning. It’s the best way to turn yourself from another case of vacation deprivation into a vacation inspiration.

Got a budding actor or actress in your midst? Meet Gainesville resident and acting coach, Isabella Lash By Danica Low
How do you feel about your local community?
Raised in Fauquier County by musically talented parents and a grandmother with an acting background, it’s no surprise that Isabella Lash possesses a passion and talent for theater and the arts. Nor is it a surprise that she’d marry a man with greasepaint in his blood, too. Together, the newlyweds and Prince William County residents perform, give lessons and pursue additional training in the arts. Several evenings a week, the Lashes give acting and music lessons at the Gainesville Presbyterian Church, where they rent space. They also attend rehearsals for the Gainesville Encore choral and theater program, and other local shows they either direct or perform in. And as if that weren’t enough, Isabella currently attends the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Georgetown where she’s pursuing an advanced certification in theater.
actor. It is this love and fascination that I aspire to pass on to my students. For me, there’s no greater joy than when a student grows to understand and express the truth that they have found through acting.
Why do you love teaching acting and musical theatre?
hat is it about teaching W art that motivates you?
Isabella: I always tell my students that studying acting is really the same thing as studying people. If you are not absolutely fascinated by human beings, you will either grow very disinterested in theatre, or be a very poor
Isabella: Each student enters my classroom with a wall. There is always a moment, whether it be the second lesson, or the ninth, that I start to see that wall break down. They begin to let go of insecurities and embrace
Isabella: I love Prince William and Fauquier, and have been involved in both communities for most of my life. Most of my theater experiences have been in these counties and have been a vital part of my professional journey. I sing in the choir at St. Patrick’s Orthodox Church and Gainesville Community Choir. You’ll also often find me performing or directing at Fauquier Community Theatre and Gainesville Theater. My goal is to one day give back as much as I’ve received from the people and experiences I’ve had here. creativity and expression. Watching my students find themselves through the work that we do together is always a very poignant experience for me.
Why are you passionate about music? Isabella: I believe music is one of the greatest gifts that we have been given in order to experience beauty. There’s a lovely quote by Hans Christian Andersen, ‘Where words fail, music speaks.’ There is something intrinsically spiritual about music. Each of us yearns to have it be a part of our life in some way.
What can students expect from your lessons? Isabella: The skills that I work to help students develop carry far beyond the stage. Abilities such as public speaking, compassion, confidence, self-awareness, listening, observation, storytelling and creativity can be used in all areas of life. Whether my students go on to pursue a career in acting or not, I know they have learned valuable life skills. If you’ve got a budding thespian in your midst, acting and music lessons make a terrific gift. Contact Isabella Lash at isabellaroselash@gmail.com.

Fauquier attorney weighs in on Stormy Daniels controversy on ‘60 Minutes’ By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
Addressing one of the key questions that could change the trajectory of President Trump’s legal issues with adult-film star Stormy Daniels, campaign finance attorney Trevor Potter told “60 Minutes’” he thinks Trump’s campaign might have violated the law. “The payment of the money just creates an enormous legal mess for Trump, for Cohen and anyone else who was involved in this in the campaign,” Potter told CBS as part of its piece on Daniels, which aired Sunday night. Among other things, the report looked at the question of whether the $130,000 Daniels was paid in hush money might jeopardize the president. Potter, who lives in Marshall, is a former commissioner and chairman of the Federal Election Commission, to which he was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush. Potter is an owner of the Fauquier Times’ and serves on Piedmont Media’s board of directors. Potter was one of the primary sources interviewed by “60 Minutes” correspondent and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper for the much-anticipated story on Daniels. In the interview, Daniels said she had sex with Trump in 2006 and was later threatened by a man, unknown to her, who warned her not to discuss it. Potter heads the political-law practice at Washington firm Caplin & Drysdale and is an expert in campaign and election law. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, has argued the transaction cannot be considered a campaign contribution because he paid Daniels the money out of his own pocket as a favor to the president. Potter, however, said he sees the payment as a “$130,000 in-kind contribution by Cohen to the Trump campaign, which is about $126,500 above what he is allowed to give.” If Cohen did this “on behalf of his client, the candidate, that is a coordinated, illegal, in-kind contribution by Cohen for the purpose of influencing the election — of benefiting the candidate by keeping this secret,” Potter told “60 Minutes.” If Trump paid Cohen back, it should have been reported as an inkind campaign contribution, Potter said. “If he was then reimbursed by the president, that doesn’t remove the fact that the initial payment violated Cohen’s contribution limits,” Potter said. The situation would be mitigated if Trump paid Cohen back because Trump, as a candidate, “could have paid for it without limit,” Potter said. If the president never repaid Cohen, he “is still out on the line for having made an illegal in-kind contribution to the campaign,” he added.
Trevor Potter on ‘60 Minutes’ Potter was interviewed by “60 Minutes” in his capacity as president of the Campaign Legal Center, a Washington-based, nonpartisan organization that supports the enforcement of campaign-finance laws. The last time Potter appeared on national television with such prominence was during the 2012 election. Potter was the attorney for Stephen Colbert’s super PAC, “Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com.
A tisket, a tasket, there were 140 baskets Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Warrenton was a hub of activity Friday and Saturday. Members of the Knights of Columbus and a cadre of volunteers gathered to sort, pack and distribute boxes of food for the county’s most needy. Estimated in value at $40-50 a box, the total weight of food for the 140 boxes came in at 16,800 pounds. Jim Hunt, who coordinated one of the teams, reported that out of the 140 boxes, 64 recipients came to the church while 76 deliveries were made to those unable to come. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic, family, fraternal benefit society that has been doing good works since 1882. With a mission of “one act of charity at a time,” the distribution of food baskets has been going on for decades at the church not only at Easter but Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. “It’s quite a production,” said John Schied, who at 92, continues to volunteer in a number of community activities. For the past several years, the food has come from Wegmans. “They gave us a good discount and included a gift card which we will use for future purchases at the next holiday,” said Hunt adding that several school aged students helped as well. “It’s part of their service ministry toward confirmation.”

BURNT OFFERINGS
A Chinese funeral rite that dates back hundreds of years calls for the family of the deceased to burn joss paper (also known as “ghost” or “spirit” money), which takes the form of paper replicas of items that the deceased will need in the afterlife. These paper offerings may include money and facsimiles of such things as cars. This notion of preparing the dead with material possessions they will need in the afterlife is nothing new, as ancient Egyptian custom attests. If nothing else, providing the dearly departed with significant gifts and offerings provides survivors with a measure of comfort that they are able, at least symbolically, to demonstrate their care and love for the deceased. A funeral is a meaningful event that can help ease the pain of separation that naturally accompanies death. It is a time of sharing good memories and experiences with family and friends. It is a time when respect, concern, and appreciation for a life that has been lived can be expressed in a sincere manner. To learn more about our services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Each time we embrace a memory, we meet again with those we love...”

Jonelle Lawrence Consummate maker and insatiable experimenter Jonelle Lawrence died in Virginia on March 17. Ms. Lawrence, née Shillito, was born to John & Ellenor Shillito on Dec. 22, 1941 in Jamaica, Queens NY, and spent her formative years in Greenwich Village in the hotbed of the hippie movement. A gifted artist, she attended Parsons and the Art Students League while working as a graphic designer for various NYC publications. In 1961 she met fellow artist and neighbor Charlie Lawrence in the stairwell of their walk up at 128 Charles Street and they married in 1964. In 1968 Jonelle moved to Philadelphia where she had a multifaceted career of constructing elaborate art-to-wear, combining techniques borrowed from fisherman’s macrame, men’s tailoring, knitting, crochet and quilting. She produced couture pieces for a small but fortunate group of people; from gowns for brides and philanthropists to costumes for ballet dancers, ravers and drag queens. In her retirement, Jonelle drove a school bus for special needs children in PA, learning to care for people with cerebral palsy. In her spare time she obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Gwynedd Mercy College. Jonelle moved to Virgina to live with her sister, horse trainer Tracy Mullen, in 2014. She died in hospital after a 20 year long battle with the blood disorder Polycythemia Vera. It was her conviction that the drug Jakafi extended her life an additional 5 years. Costs for the expensive drug were underwritten by the charitable organization, My Good Days. Jonelle is survived by her daughters, Tracy Cangelosi and husband David of Chicago, IL and Vanessa Watts and husband Austin of Brooklyn, NY; sister Tracy Mullen of Jeffersonton, VA; nieces, Jonelle Mullen of Marshall, VA and Kelly Mullen of Franklin, TN, nephew, Jay Mullen and wife, Colette of Northport, NY; grand-niece Kelsey Stern, and grandnephew Jake Stern.

KETTLE RUN BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW

This spring, however, they have already secured a region berth. Due to yet another VHSL realignment, conferences/districts no longer exist in lacrosse. Instead, Kettle Run’s postseason will begin with the Class 4 Region B tournament, in which it will compete against Brentsville, Culpeper, Eastern View, Fauquier, James Monroe and Liberty. Those same teams composed the

Jimmy Dooly is one of seven returning starters for a strong Kettle Run squad that has opened 2-0. Evergreen Conference last spring with Brentsville winning the championship. The Cougars began this season with a 12-9 win over Rock Ridge and 19-4 victory over Stonewall Jackson, a Class 6 team. So the Cougars have shown no problems scoring thus far with three returning starters on attack, including sophomore Jimmy Dooly, who led Kettle Run in scoring last spring. “We’re looking for him to duplicate what he did last year,” Smith said. “Get him involved in the passing game and scoring.” Junior Braedan Allen also returned to an attack role this spring while senior Matt Begley moved from start-
ing in the midfield to the attack. “He’s been doing pretty solid,” Smith said of Begley. “He’s taking care of the ball; he’s not throwing the ball away. He’s getting good opportunities in transition and his lacrosse IQ is pretty good.” Kettle Run’s midfield first line consists of sophomores Ian Sekelsky and Ashton Short as well as junior Jack Kroll. “In the past we haven’t had too many midfielders that could give us defense and provide offense,” Smith said. “They stepped up with that in the offseason.” The Cougars’ defense, meanwhile, suffered the team’s most significant losses following last season. Carson
Kroll and Hunter Khaltabari graduated – along with attackman Jackson Wille – so sophomore Connor Gladstone is the only returning starter on defense, and he will play some longstick midfielder as well. Kettle Run does have two other experience defenders, though, in juniors Sean Kennedy and Nate Shaffer. “Good-sized kid; great lacrosse IQ,” Smith said of Shaffer. “He’s usually guarding the best player on the opposite team.” In goal, Kettle Run has a competition playing out between senior returning starter Nolan Hall and sophomore Peter Smith. They have each started a game this spring.

FAUQUIER BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW
With eight starters back, Falcons should sizzle By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier Falcons had a head coach opening for this boys lacrosse season despite featuring a robust roster of eight returning starters from a 2017 team that earned a region bid for the fourth time in five seasons. Richard Carpenter fell into that opportunity after joining the program as a volunteer coach only two years ago shortly after his graduation from Shenandoah University. Last season he took over as Fauquier’s junior varsity head coach and served as a varsity defensive assistant. Then varsity head coach Eric Morrison and assistant Jon Bierman decided to leave the program following last season, creating a leadership void that Carpenter filled. “We’re expecting to do really well,” Carpenter said of his experienced roster. “We’ve got a good group, but it just depends on how bad the kids want it.” The Falcons finished last season as the Evergreen Conference runner-up with a region berth and a 10-7 record, giving them their second-most victories since 2008.

Sophomore attacker Jackson Eicher and the 2-0 Falcons are now playing for new coach Richard Carpenter, a former Culpeper High player who takes over for Eric Morrison. to graduation, Fauquier should have high expectations this spring. “I don’t how the other schools are looking,” Carpenter said, “but if the boys come to play, stick to it and keep working hard, they can definitely get to where we were last year if not come out on top. That’s the goal at least.” The Falcons won’t be able to exactly replicate their success from last season because conferences/districts no longer
exist in VHSL lacrosse due to yet another realignment. Instead, Fauquier’s postseason will begin with the Class 4 Region B tournament, in which the Falcons will compete against Brentsville, Culpeper, Eastern View, Kettle Run, James Monroe and Liberty. Those same teams composed the Evergreen Conference last spring with Brentsville winning the championship. Carpenter played lacrosse
at Culpeper before graduating in 2010. He then played some at Shenandoah before his 2015 graduation with youth volunteering as his only coaching experience. Soon after Carpenter began working at Taylor Middle School, so he knows some of the Fauquier High lacrosse families. This March, he began his head coaching career with victories over Riverbend, 8-4, and Osbourn, 23-0. “So far it’s been going pretty well,” he said. “We’ve got a good group of boys this year [and] we are a little senior heavy. … They’re excited for the season.” Sophomore Jackson Eicher and senior Jack Averna lead the Falcons in scoring thus far with six and five goals, respectively. They also finished last season as Fauquier’s leading scorers, while senior Nate Thomason is a fellow returning starter on attack. Fauquier’s midfield also has a trio of returning starters in junior faceoff specialist Cole Anderson, senior long-stick Connor Poe and senior Anthony Munoz. Defensively, juniors Garrett Miller and Kevin McEachin are returning starters with senior Greyson

Falcon Kayla Pavlock won shot put gold at Potomac.
The track teams from Fauquier and Liberty rolled into spring break on high notes following Saturday performances in large invitational meets. Fauquier’s boys and girls both placed fourth in a field of primarily Class 5 and 6 schools in the Brian Watkins Invitational at Potomac High School. The boys’ unit recorded 64 points in the 17-school field, while its female counterparts finished with 53 versus 14 other teams to tie Mountain View for the fourth spot. “I was very pleased,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones. “You don’t

Pavlock’s throw of 33 feet, 11.5 inches led all shot putters. The junior placed second in the discus with a throw of 96-8. Meanwhile, Holland scorched the 800-meter field by three and one-half seconds, winning in 2:12.4. “That was an impressive race. I was very proud of her,” said Jones. “She got off and by the first 200 she had passed everybody.” Fauquier’s girls also were second in the 1,600 relay, as Kelsey Gastley, Ryan McDaniel-Neff, Meredith Rankin and Holland combined to finish in 4:17.29. “That was a heck of a run,” Jones said. Elise Fernandez raced to fourth in the 400 in 1:02.2. The 400 relay group of Rankin, Cammi Winston, Morgan Pletch and Camryn Bland was fifth at 53.86. Amir Siders helped the Falcon boys with two seconds in the throwing events. He heaved the shot put 42-3.5 and the discus 121-0. The foursome of Nick Matthews, Josh Moylan, Bruce Boggs and Patrick Atwell were third in the 1,600 relay in 3:29.95. “To break 3:30 at this time of the year was great,” said Jones. Matthews, Dakari Mullins and Patrick Atwell each scored in two individual events to bolster the Falcon scoring. Matthews placed third in the 1,600 in 4:27.75 before adding a fifth

The Liberty boys track squad collected three gold medals Saturday at the Courtland Invitational. Markael Gaskins, Ed Mangum, Lester Parker III and Ja’Von White formed the winning 400-meter relay foursome, finishing in 45.44 seconds. Gaskins earlier won the 100 in 11.59, while Magnum finished atop the long jump field at 18-7.5. White also scored key points as he placed third in the 200 (23.38) and 400 (51.37). Liberty’s girls also were successful in the shorter events, led by Kristeena Kenny’s three medals. Kenny was second in the 100 in 13.40 and was fourth in the 200 in 23.38. In between, she also combined with Bianca Purpura, Amaya Gaskins and Wenter Johnson for fourth in the 400 relay in 54.49. The Eagle boys tallied 46 points to place eighth among the 13-team field.

KETTLE RUN GIRLS TENNIS PREVIEW
Roeber leads sophomore-powered Cougar girls By Fred Hodge
Singles lineup
Special to the Times
Ellen Allen has rescued another Kettle Run sports team. The Cougars’ assistant director of student activities said no one applied for the girls tennis coaching opening vacated by Shelly Norden, so she’s filling it. Allen helped coached track in 2015-16 when a coach was needed and also took over as girls basketball coach two seasons ago. Allen, who previously coached tennis at Fauquier and Liberty, is pleased to see Kettle Run’s top three singles players return. Sophomore Ryan Roeber is No. 1, with Allen citing her hard serve and agility on the court. Senior Molly Van Hook is No. 2 and senior Caitlin Roy No. 3. Claire Walker will play at No. 4 singles with Taylor Malloy at No. 5 and Mady Whiting at No. 6. They are all sophomore first-time starters who played for kettle Run last season. “The experience the three returners bring. They are valuable,” Allen said of a definite strength. “The girls seem to have a good basic set of fundamentals of tennis. And they have a real good work ethic.” When everyone is present, Roeber and Roy compose the No. 1 doubles. Van Hook and Walker are the second duo, and Mallory and Whiting form the third pairing.

After playing No. 2 singles last year, sophomore Ryan Roeber has moved to No. 1. Other varsity players are Faith Schaefer, Kayla Gilliam, Maura Kate O’Hara, Leticia Bengo, Abbie Prostejovsky and Marie Sui. The Cougars did not qualify for the post season Conference 22 tournament in 2017, as only the top four of the five league teams advanced. The chief assignment now is recovery from the limited practice time, Allen said. “The weather has not been ideal, but I am pleased with the effort the girls have given. We just want to keep getting better over
the season,” she said. After falling on the road in their opening two matches, 7-2 and 9-0,
to James Wood and Sherando, respectively, the Cougars collected a 9-0 home win versus Culpeper March 16 and added a narrow 5-4 victory versus Brentsville on Friday. Allen thinks Kettle Run (2-2) will fare well in the Northwestern District. “It will be tough to beat Handley and Sherando, but after that, I think we can compete with most people,” she predicted. Kettle Run returns to action April 3 against visiting Handley and travels to Millbrook April 5.

Will the Fauquier Falcon girls tennis team earn a 10th straight regional berth? Moving to the Northwestern District means Fauquier must contend with perennial state qualifier Handley, plus Sherando, which made the Class 4A semifinals last year. Fauquier, 12-4 last spring and a regional semifinalist, has not played yet, while some schools competed three or four times. Fauquier coach Rob Deavers has settled his singles ladder, which has Walker Evans at No. 1, Jennifer Adgate at No. 2 and Kiki Scott at No.3. “One, two and three are experienced. They’ve been in seeded matches for the past three years,” Deavers said. “The bottom (group) is older, but at the same time, they have not been in seeded matches.” A round-robin process led to a top three of Evans, Adgate and Scott. “They should be strong,” said Deavers. Evie Leary claimed the No. 4 position, Sophie Bartholomaus is No. 5 and Shelby Nesbit is No. 6. Deavers praised Leary and Nesbit, whom he cited as the team’s most improved players after off season diligence. Fauquier’s singles alignment was

not set until five days before the first scheduled match. “This weather has been crazy. It has affected us tremendously,” Deavers said. “It has had the bigger impact in the doubles; only spent a day or two on them,” said Deavers. Adgate and Scott will be the top pairing. The second and third duos may change once matches begin. Evans will anchor the second doubles with Leary. For now, Nesbit, Bartholomaus or Melanie Turner are No. 3. Other players on the 2018 squad are Nicole Bartholomaus, Anna White, Lexi Propheter, Abby Turner and Clari-Jones Egesbum. The Falcons were scheduled to open March 20 against perennial state qualifier Handley until the wintry weather intervened. They also had matches against Millbrook and Brentsville postponed. Most of the team scattered for spring break, meaning there’s only one practice in 10 days before the very late opener April 3 at Sherando. “Most of my team has gone here, there and everywhere,” said Deavers.

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Darren Nagle listened intently as Neil Morris gave him strict instructions for Saturday’s Piedmont Foxhounds Point-to-Point headliner. Last year’s champion jockey, Nagle reassured the trainer he’d ride to orders. Plan A fell apart 10 strides into the 3 1/2-mile marathon. “He went right to Plan B,” Morris quipped as he joined Nagle and owner-breeders Sara and Bruce Collette to collect an armful of trophies after Zanclus gave a command performance to win the feature in his long-awaited return to the race course. It was a popular win for the third-generation Casanova homebred, 2016 Virginia timber champion and beloved son of recently deceased Collette homebred, sire Xenodon, out of recently retired Collette blue-hen, dam Jordani. The March 24 race was the first outing for Zanclus in more than 16 months, and careful planning, Morris said, was critical to the gelding’s return. “My instructions were to cover him up” behind other horses, Morris explained, hopeful Nagle could keep the long-striding Zanclus contained and controlled in the early furlongs. With just four answering the call to post in the Rokeby Bowl, a stiff test early in the season, Nagle explained that he had “little to no chance to tuck behind somebody at the start.” Truth is, Morris admitted, there was actually no Plan B, as the trainer trusted the skilled rider to read the race as it unfolded. Nagle hoped McLane Hendriks on defending Rokeby winner Old Timer might claim the pole position, but when the others jogged away from the flag start, Nagle changed tactics. Piedmont’s Salem Farm course east of Upperville is an open, galloping track, Nagle added, with few natural features to contain the bold, open stride of a big horse like Zanclus. “He wasn’t bothered on the lead,” Nagle said, adding that once he realized he’d have to “fight the horse” to keep him

off the front end, he “put his hands down” and concentrated on keeping a fluid rhythm. Old Timer loomed at the second-last, a stone wall at the west end of the course, but Zanclus extended stride in the long uphill stretch, a dozen lengths better than Old Timer. Fellow Virginia-bred Monstaleur (Forrest Kelly up) was third. Zanclus had missed the entire 2017 season due to a minor injury, Morris explained, and he’d long planned the blaze-faced chestnut’s return to racing. “Sara was extremely patient,” explained the Middleburg-based trainer and joint-master of the Orange County Hounds. “I was able to take my time.” Morris led the field aboard Zanclus much of the fall season, a great way, he said, to bring the 8-year-old back into fitness. Another Collette homebred, Zanclus’ 6-year-old full brother Balistes, earned the Casanova crew a second armful of silver by winning the Virginia-bred turf race.

The Liberty Eagles composed one of their best boys lacrosse seasons in history last spring, but they still lost both of their games against Eastern View. Liberty rectified that March 13 with a 10-6 win over the Cyclones to begin the 2018 season. That victory broke an eight-game losing streak to Eastern View that dated back to 2013. The Eagles also defeated Fluvanna, 8-4, March 19 following a 6-3 loss to Osbourn Park. So they have a 2-1 record early this season. “It’s a continuation from last year,” Liberty coach Mike Gesiotto said. “They’re working hard; playing together. I think we’re looking good.” Liberty finished last season with a 5-9 record to tie for the program’s most wins since at least 2005 with the best winning percentage in that time. “We had a solid season last year and we intend to build on that base,” Gesiotto said. “I believe that we can play with anybody if we show up and play to our potential.” The Eagles play in Class 4 Region B this season after a recent VHSL realignment eliminated conference/ district play in lacrosse. The region tournament will include the same teams Liberty faced last season in the Evergreen Conference: Brentsville, Culpeper, Eastern View, Fauquier, James Monroe and Kettle Run. The region’s top two teams will advance to the Class 4 state tournament. “I have a high expectation always, but it will shake out how it shakes out,” Gesiotto said. “I want it to be fun … and to grow the sport in the

It’s always midfield” because depth has a large impact. “We had a good senior leader last year and he graduated,” Gesiotto said of Nailor. “But the guys I have now are stepping up.” The midfield includes returning starters in senior Kyle Parker and junior Trey Keys, as well as junior Tracy Schmidt. That unit also features faceoff specialist Jake Waldo. “So far this season he’s like 75, 80 percent on [winning] his faceoffs,” Gesiotto said. “He probably went 60 [percent] last year. “Faceoff is something I used to worry about, and I don’t anymore,” the coach said. “Getting possession is going to be something we excel at. Keeping possession of the ball, that concerns me a little.”

In the 2016 season, Liberty finished with only 32 goals and went 1-11, so Nailor’s production gave the Eagles
a huge boost in 2017. This season, senior Dalton Billick has led Liberty in scoring thus far with senior returning starters Jordan Dickerson and Brandon Mullins joining him on the Eagles’ attack. “We have an all-senior attack,” Gesiotto said, “which is nice.

Freshman Trumbo is Falcons’ new No. 1 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Five of this year’s top six Fauquier High boys tennis players have from one to three years of varsity service. Fauquier coach Jan Ashby hopes that copious experience will result in an improved record after the Falcons’ struggles in recent years. The lineup has three seniors, a junior, a sophomore and a freshman newcomer. “They came up as freshmen and had never played before. They played and played, worked on drills,” said Ashby of his veterans. Ashby says the physical maturity is noticeable. “It’s going more smoothly, plus they are playing better as far as footwork and basic techniques,” Ashby said. “I keep telling them they have improved since their freshman year. Now they can play better than last year and the year before. I’m hoping for a better year.” Freshman Alan Trumbo has taken over as the new No. 1 and made an early impression. Sopho-

Plant hydrangeas and add a dramatic pop of color and charm to your landscaping By Helen Ryan
can be safely pruned in late winter. Popular cultivars include Annabelle and Grandiflora.
Fauquier County Master Gardener
As winter winds down, it’s a good time to think about adding plants that will add color and interest throughout the growing season to your gardens and landscapes. A good choice to consider is hydrangeas. With more than 75 varieties, the family of hydrangeas offers a wide variety of sizes and shapes — from dwarf, medium and large shrubs, to prune-able tree forms and climbing vines. So, there is surely a hydrangea that will be the perfect fit for any size garden. Often called the “Queen of the Southern Garden,” hydrangeas are exceptionally well-suited to our area. Most varieties are hardy for zones 4 to 9. Situated primarily in zones 6 to 7 here in Fauquier County, we are ideally located in the sweet spot for these amazing beauties. The hydrangea is a plant that really delivers in the garden, adding drama and charm from spring to fall. They offer deep green foliage with flowers that come in a literal rainbow of color options — from creamy, dreamy whites; to soft, romantic pinks; bright raspberries; periwinkle blues and iridescent purples. Hydrangea flowers are some of the longest-lasting blooms in the garden, often changing their colors to provide new looks throughout the seasons. Most varieties are fragrant and all varieties make great cutting flowers that add pizzazz to any fresh or dried flower arrangement. And if all this isn’t enough to sell this exceptional plant, hydrangeas are relatively trouble-free to grow and have few pest and disease issues. What more can you ask from this versatile plant?
The world of hydrangea
The hydrangea was first cultivated in Japan, but ancient hydrangea fossils dating back 40 - 65 million years have been discovered here in North America. Today, hydrangeas can be found widely throughout Asia, the Americas and Europe. Below is information on some of the most popular cultivated species for our area. It is important to know the characteristics of each, as there are differences in cold hardiness, pruning recommendations and bloom time.
Bigleaf hydrangea
When most gardeners think of hydrangeas, this is likely the group that first comes to mind. The bigleaf hydrangeas have long been garden
Oakleaf hydrangea

These unusual pink and white flower heads can exceed 16 inches long. favorites because of their big, snowball-sized mop-head flowers. Native to Japan’s temperate coastal regions, they prefer full morning sun and afternoon shade. They do best in moist, well-drained soil, and need to be watered frequently. The bigleaf hydrangeas form flower buds on the last year’s (old) wood and require little, if any, pruning. A unique feature of bigleaf hydrangeas is that the color of its flowers can be changed based on the pH of the soil that they are growing in. If your plants are growing in acidic soil (pH below 6.0), you will get blue flowers. Hydrangea grown in alkaline soil (pH above 7.0) will produce pink flowers. And plants grown in neutral soil (pH between 6 and 7) will result in purple blooms. You can change your blue flowers to pink ones by sprinkling lime around the base of the plants and watering it in. To go from pink to blue, water in aluminum sulfate to the roots of the plant. It won’t happen overnight; it can take a full season to make the change. And it only works with the blue and pink hydrangeas. White flowers do not change color.
Smooth hydrangea
Smooth hydrangeas are native to North America. Their native range spans the eastern half of the United States, primarily in the mountain and Piedmont regions. Smooth hydrangeas prefer rich, moist soil and partial shade, making them well suited for woodland plantings. Smooth hydrangeas bloom from late spring to early summer, displaying clusters of tiny fertile flowers that start with a soft green hue that turns to creamy white. They typically reach 3 - 5 feet tall. Blooms are grown on new wood, so they

The oakleaf hydrangea is also a North American native. Everything about this species is big and bold. It features large, oakleaf-shaped foliage and mature plants that can reach 10 feet tall and wide. From late spring to early summer, the Oakleaf hydrangea produces large, coneshaped white flowerheads that turn rosy pink as they age. Plant this species in evenly moist soil in part shade with protection from hot afternoon sun. Oakleaf hydrangeas bloom on old wood, so no pruning is required. Popular cultivars include Snow Queen and Snowflake. You can grow panicle hydrangeas from Canada to the Gulf Coast. They thrive in full sun and pests don’t bother them as much as other species. All they require is good drainage. And because they bloom later than most, they fill in the gap in hydrangea color. The most well-known cultivar is Grandiflora (nicknamed “Pee Gee”), which features rounded clusters of white flowers that slowly age to pink and can reach an impressive 20 feet tall. But newer cultivars are gaining popularity, including Limelight, a shrub that grows 8 to 10 feet tall and wide with large clusters of white blooms tinged green at the top. Panicle hydrangeas bloom on new wood, so they are protected from late cold snaps and should be pruned in late winter to control growth and plant shape and encourage larger blooms.
Planting and care
Hydrangeas can be planted in spring or fall. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide. Place the plant in the hole and fill it half full with soil. Water, and after the water has drained, fill the rest of hole with soil. Water thoroughly. When planting in mass, it is best to space your hydrangeas 3 — 10 feet apart, based on the species you plant. If your soil is rich, you may not need to fertilize hydrangeas. If your soil is light or sandy, it’s best to feed the plants once a year in late winter or spring. Too much fertilizer encourages leafy growth at the expense of blooms. So, if you are ready to pump up the volume in your yard, consider planting hydrangeas throughout your landscaping. They will be sure to make a bold statement and provide beauty and interest for years to come.
