20 in Case of Fire

WSA Fire Hydrants Communicate Safety

Like many of you, I was not born and raised in Fauquier County, but after 12 years I now proudly claim it as home.

While I haven’t exactly been travelling down the dusty Winnemucca Road, if I had to choose one theme song for my life so far, it might be the iconic version of “I’ve Been Everywhere, Man” by Hank Snow (later covered by Johnny Cash, et. al.). As an US Air Force kid, (I was never a brat. Right, Mom?) I have seen almost every corner of the US, and my parents did a great job of instilling in my sister and me a sense of adventure, curiosity, and genuine interest in people wherever life or the military might take us.

This translates to my professional life, where I have almost literally been to the moon and back. I joke around the Broad Run Lifestyle office that I learned to make coffee at NASA. During a summer off from college, I held my first office job at a lab on the Langley Research Center receiving material samples from all manner of odd space-travel related equipment.

It was a fascinating experience. Two major takeaways: a lot of what goes into space smells like scotch tape, and humans can accomplish amazing things with high powered computing and sufficient caffeine. Since then, I have managed an art gallery, rose at 4 am to bake fresh from-scratch cinnamon rolls at one of Blacksburg’s favorite bakeries, hosted a radio show, published a quarterly magazine, worked for a defense contractor on a systems engineering textbook, and a virtual buffet of other vocational adventures. My most recent foray into the local business environment, and my longest, was my role in one of Virginia’s most beautiful industries. I had the unbelievable privilege to spend nearly the last 10 years working in the Fauquier wine industry, where I had the opportunity to get to know the local business community on a personal level.

Now, I look forward to letting you show me around this unique and growing community. As a science nut, I am very excited about the prospects of technology firms setting up shop in Vint Hill. As a nature lover, I am eager to visit the quiet and peaceful farms and natural preserves sprinkled throughout the area. As an art enthusiast, I anticipate that Broad Run’s vibrant arts community has much to share.

I hope you enjoy reading our August issue and I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you around.

My very best,

The

Gardener Grows Up

by Lynne Galluzzo

The past winter was unusual, and because of it, several plants did unusual things. Of course, the plants that were damaged have cost us money and heartache.

All of the area’s Rosemary died as well as all of the Hardy Gardenias. Heather took a big hit; leaving once lush shrubs with ugly combinations of brown and green. I wish I could cut all of the Heathers back to shapely mounds, give them some food and let them start over.

But everything I have read has said that if I cut Heather back below the green it would be fatal. So, for some people I have dug the whole plant out and for some I have cut out some brown, applied fertilizer and we are waiting to see if there will be improvement. If I had any Heather in my yard I would have tried cutting it back just to see if I could get new growth, but I don’t and I am not going to ask anyone who loves their Heather for a test site.

Many crape myrtles in the area are starting back from the base, including all but two of mine. The only one that makes me really sad is the Natchez that I had to move. I nursed it though transplant shock and loved its fountain of white flowers for at least six years. Today I cut off dead branches, trimmed back to green some others and thinned out the base growth. I know it will be beautiful again but it will be a few years. It is interesting that my white flowering crape myrtle took a hit because I have been finding that the majority of damaged plants in the area have red or dark pink flowers. Perhaps the darker flowered crape myrtles are more sensitive and/or more tropical.

My fig tree is starting over from the base as well as a Butterfly Bush that I was training into tree form.

Hydrangeas are all starting over on new wood. If you have a classic old hydrangea that blooms on last year’s stalks, you might not see flowers this year. If you have 6

the new hydrangeas that bloom for a long time on new wood then get ready for a show. All of these plants are full and lush and getting loaded with buds. On that same line – I have seen plants that have languished and been disappointing for years become something to talk about this year. A Star magnolia in Heritage Hunt that did nothing much for years grew and bloomed and really surprised its owners. Evergreens are looking far better than they did with the two previous warm, dry winters. It is all part of the balance of nature which to me is a never ending and always fascinating story.

This year I have had the good fortune to work with an experienced and award-winning landscape designer who moved here from Long Island to be closer to family. Jim Morgan designed a beautiful makeover for the front of a home in Broad Run and I and my crew were the lucky ones that took it from a black and white design to a colorful reality. In the process of executing this transformation, we had to move some almost blooming Peony bushes. Everything I know about Peonies says that they really don’t like to be moved once established and if they have to be dealt with at all to do it in the fall. It was May, the Peonies were old with big fat buds all over them and Jim said, “Not a problem.”

I will share with you his transplant method that was so good the Peonies didn’t even droop. First you dig the new hole that the plant is going into and fill it with water. Then dig around the plant you are moving-- far enough that you create a fairly solid root ball.

Put some Biotone in the water-filled hole and set the plant in. Replace the dirt around it firmly and then water again to set the dirt around the roots. We have moved several plants of different kinds since then and by following this method it has been successful every time. Thanks, Jim. This method is invaluable. I would also like to say that his on-paper designs are artwork in themselves, whether it is for a small yard or a large development each one is frame worthy to me.

This summer I will turn 65 and I’m feeling the need to make my flower garden less work and more enjoyable. Ten years ago I had the desire, the vision, the time and the energy to create a flower packed paradise. I wanted multitudes of blooms in great colorful swaths with bees and butterflies flying around; making any English cottage garden envious. Now that I have a business that takes a lot of my time and energy, I still want a beautiful garden. I think I can have something lovely but without as much fuss. I am keeping the roses that survived the winter and pretty much all of the perennials. But instead of filling empty spaces with small flowering plants, I am going to use flowering shrubs and interesting evergreens. I think the variety of levels, colors and textures will make a garden that is even more interesting and highly personal. There is a new Weigela on the market called French Lace. It has variegated leaves and dark pink, almost red flowers. I have used three of them in other people’s gardens and I am planning on at least one in mine. It is sensory overload to read the rows of tags on Hydrangeas. There are so many different sizes, flower types and colors.

I am even making a front border out of five Hydrangea Rios for a house in Evergreen this week. One of my

favorite new Evergreens in Black Dragon. I have seven in different areas of my yard but I think the perfect cone shape and dark green sculptural form would set off my Double Pink Knock Out Rose perfectly. I am giving up on cutting branches off of the Cherry tree so that the garden has more light. Realistically, I might be beyond climbing trees with a chainsaw and shade plants are nice ,too. Hopefully, when you read this I will have finished mulching all of my clients’ gardens and I will have started creating the “New-Old Garden”.

The message here is to be truthful with yourself about what you can realistically maintain. Cutting back, digging out, sodding over is all okay.

Gardens are supposed to be fun not tiresome guilt trips.

Thanks to the winter I have empty spaces to fill with interesting new plants, and thanks to Jim Morgan I can now move things around and not lose them. And thanks to my refocusing vision, I might just make this happen!

History

‘Gone with the Wind’ Part 1: Pittsylvania and the Henry House were lost during the Civil War

by John T. Toler

It is a well-known fact that some of the fiercest fighting during the Civil War took place in northwestern Prince William County, and the staggering number of casualties suffered during the First and Second Battles of Manassas has been documented.

Less well known were the effects on civilians living in the hotly contested areas, which included relative newcomers and members of the Carter family, who could trace the ownership of their properties back to colonial days.

By the time the war ended, most of the older homes located on the battlefield had served as headquarters or hospitals before being destroyed; others survived, but were lost before they could be preserved as part of the Manassas National Battlefield Park, established in 1940.

to the north on Bull Run. Not long afterward, the brothers argued over the division of the land, and a lawsuit was filed in Fauquier County. For years, they did not speak to each other.

The main house at Pittsylvania was reputed to be the largest and most elaborate of the Carter mansions built in the Prince William-Fairfax County region, eclipsing Sudley, Red Hill, Woodlawn and Bleak Hill.

Measuring 30-ft. by 50-ft. with an above-ground cellar, the two-story mansion faced toward the east, standing tall and impressive. The foundation was built of native brown sandstone, and the upper portion was of frame construction.

One of the most interesting properties, if not the oldest, was Pittsylvania, a plantation located on part of the Bull Run Tract patented by Robert “King” Carter in 1729 to his son, Landon Carter (I) of Sabine Hall (1710-1779).

There were four large rooms on each floor, connected by center hallways.

The rooms had high ceilings, and were heated by fireplaces built into two large, central chimneys. “Much of the interior finishings were brought from England… and the rich wallpaper was some of the oldest and handsomest made,” according to Miss Maude Ewell in A Virginia Scene (1931).

Years later, Landon Carter I divided part of his holdings in Prince William County between his sons, Landon II (1738-1801) and John (1739-1789).

With the help of their father, Landon II built the main house at Pittsylvania between 1765-70, and John built Sudley,

There was a circular gravel driveway in front of the house, and the outbuildings – including the kitchen, servants’ quarters, weaving house, ice house, carriage house, and school – were connected to the main house by walkways. On the north side of the main

house was a large formal garden, and on the south side, a bowling green and the family cemetery. The road passing north of the house ran from Old Sudley Road (Rt. 234) westward toward Farm Ford, on Bull Run. On the west side were the detached kitchen, servants’ quarters, the main well and a large barn. A path off the main road led to the plantation’s slave cabins, scattered over the property west of the house, and the slave cemetery.

PROSPERITY, DECLINE AND WAR Up through the early years of the 19th century, Pittsylvania prospered, producing corn, wheat and rye. The plantation’s major cash crop was tobacco, and by 1801, there were 146 slaves working the farm.

Landon Carter II was married to Judith Lucy Fauntleroy (1740-1798), and they had eight children: sons Wormeley (1760-1815), John, Gilbert E., Moore (1771-1820), and Charles L. (b. 1774); and daughters Elizabeth, Margaret and Judith (1777-1861).

Upon Landon Carter II’s death, ownership of Pittsylvania passed to his son Wormeley. Less successful as a planter than his father, Wormeley had to sell off portions of the estate. It was owned for a while by kinswoman Ann Carter Edwards (b.1771), before passing to Wormeley’s son Landon Carter III

By late 1862, little remained of the Henry House but the chimney and scattered debris. Pittsylvania, seen in the distance on the right side of the photograph, still stood at that time.

wounded were lying – some in great carven four-posters, some on pallets,” wrote Miss Ewell.

(1790-1849), who also sold sections of the estate. The major reduction in the property began about 1815.

After Landon III’s death in 1849, his wife, Emily Henry Carter (b. 1796), inherited the property, which by then was just a shadow of its former glory.

Over the next 12 years, Pittsylvania continued to deteriorate. Miss Ewell recalled a story told to her by some close friends who had been invited to Pittsylvania for lunch. “Though the table was set with fine china and silver, and the servants were dressed in once-fine livery, the tablecloth had turned green, and all they had to eat was a roasted goose egg.”

By the start of the Civil War, all but the main house and one of the outbuildings were lying in ruins. Living in the house at the time were the widowed Emily Carter, age 66, and her children, Edwin (b. 1831), Sarah J. (b. 1826), and Virginia M. (b. 1837). Also residing there was the aforementioned Mrs. Ann Carter Edwards, then age 91. Edwin was the last male Carter born at Pittsylvania, according to Stuart G. Vogt, in an unpublished manuscript prepared for the Manassas National Battlefield Park in 1973.

Warned of the approaching battle, the Carters and Mrs. Edwards sought refuge at “Honeywood,” on present-day Pageland Lane north of the Warrenton Turnpike, according to research conducted by historian E.R. Conner III. They brought with them 12 loyal slaves, mostly women.

In their absence the battle raged, and Pittsylvania was turned into a hospital. “There in huge old rooms with that English wallpaper hanging in strips and fallen plaster in the corners, the 12

Until the last hours of the battle, the wounded of both sides were treated at Pittsylvania.

Confederates troops under generals William D. Pender, James J. Archer and Edward Thomas moved on the site, attacking Gen. James B. Ricketts’ division and brigades under Col. John C. Robinson and Gen. David B. Birney. The Union troops made a desperate last stand on the knoll at the house before retreating toward Centreville.

As the Union rearguard commanded by Col. Joseph Thoburn moved east toward Centreville, Confederate troops under Gen. Archer caught up with them. Fighting in the dark, the federals momentarily broke ranks, but regrouped and crossed Bull Run at Farm Ford.

The fighting over, some of the Confederate dead left at Pittsylvania were buried in the front lawn, where they remain in unmarked graves.

It is possible that the Carters returned to Pittsylvania after the battle, but in any event, the house was probably destroyed by fire sometime in early 1863, when Portici, the Lewis home nearby, was burned (See Haymarket Lifestyle, March 2014).

POST-WAR DIFFICULTIES In 1970, George A. Reaves, Historian at the MNBP, and local historian R. Jackson Ratcliffe conducted an interview with George O. Sutton, whose family owned a large tract adjoining the Pittsylvania property for many years. Mr. Sutton had collected numerous letters and other documents concerning the Carter family, which he shared with Mr. Reaves and Mr. Ratcliffe.

Mr. Sutton noted that in a letter written by Arthur Lee, “…in 1866, the Pittsylvania Carters, at the time which would only be the two daughters (Sarah J. and Virginia M.) and son (Edwin) were living in a small cabin very near the old site.”

By 1883, the Carter holdings had been reduced to 283 acres, which was owned by Virginia M. Carter. Through some “…scheme or good manipulation, there was a division of the 283 acres of land between Virginia Carter and a prominent lawyer down in Manassas and an innkeeper,” recalled Mr. Sutton.

“Those two gentlemen got a hold of all but the last 83 acres of the farm, and Virginia gave a deed of trust for $500 on those 83 acres, and it was with that $500 that the second house was built.”

The second house, called “Pittsylvania II,” was built next to the site of the mansion. It was a simple, “2-up and 2-down” farmhouse with a center hallway, and was completed in 1885. Also on the property, Edwin Carter and his cousin, Hugh F. Henry (the son of Judith Carter Henry) built a stone wall around the family cemetery.

Virginia M. Carter died in 1903, and was the last person buried at Pittsylvania.

With her passing, “…the (Landon Carter II) family died out in the seventh generation, whereas the John Carters are going strong today, “ wrote Mr. Ratcliffe in This Was Prince William (1978).

Mr. Sutton recalls walking through the cemetery years ago. “I counted them, and I think there are 70-odd old graves in there. Something like that. There were only brownstone markers and fieldstones, head and foot, stuck in the ground in rows.” He found only one marked stone, measuring 24 inches by 14 inches, bearing the inscription: “L.C.” A subsequent owner of the property was a Dr. Edward F. Corson, of Philadelphia, who was a great-great grandson of Wormeley Carter on his mother’s (the Hamilton) side. By the 1930s, Pittsylvania II was unoccupied, and later torn down.

The National Park Service acquired the 85-acre Pittsylvania site from Dr. Corson in March 1961. In addition, “It was Dr. Corson who donated most of the Henry and Carter family letters we have in our collection,” said Manassas National Battlefield Park Historian Jim Burgess.

“The only traces of the Pittsylvania mansion left today are the ruins of the wine cellar, and brick fragments scattered about the site,” wrote Mr. Vogt.

“However, by the use of a probe rod, the foundations were located under about three inches of soil.”

The NPS acquired Mr. Sutton’s property, consisting of 128.72 acres south of the Pittsylvania site and east of Matthews Hill, in February 1960. “Mr. Sutton’s house and some of his farm buildings still stand, over by our law enforcement ranger facility,” said Mr. Burgess.

TRAGEDY AT THE HENRY HOUSE Judith Carter Henry, born at Pittsylvania in 1777, was the youngest daughter of Landon II and Judith F. Carter. In 1801, Judith married Dr. Isaac Henry (1771-1829), who had studied medicine under Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia. Dr. Henry was commissioned by President George Washington as one of the first surgeons serving in the U.S. Navy, and was assigned to the U.S.S. Constellation.

was in the line of fire of artillery from both sides, in the opinion of Union artillerymen of Ricketts’ and Griffin’s batteries, Mrs. Henry was killed by one of their projectiles,” wrote Mr. Hanson.

After Dr. Henry retired from the Drawing made years ago by George O. Sutton, Navy in 1822, he built Spring Hill (later who owned property near Pittsylvania, indicates known as the “Henry House”) on a 333- the most likely arrangement of Pittsylvania’s main acre property south of Pittsylvania. Dr. house and its dependencies, as they might have Henry died in 1829, and was buried in appeared in 1770. the family cemetery at Pittsylvania. ran into heavy musket fire, and their At the outbreak of the Civil War, mother begged them to take her back Judith – who by then was 85 years old home. and bed-ridden – and two of her sons, Judith was placed back in her bed, Hugh (1812-1898) and John, both semiand shortly afterward the house was invalids, were living at Spring Hill. On struck by Union cannon fire, with a shell the morning of July 21, 1861, they found bursting in her room. She died as results themselves in the middle of the First of her wounds.

At last, after several Union shells struck the house, she lived and died,” according to Mr. Hanson.

Years later, the remains of her daughter, consented to be moved.”

By the time farm lane toward the Chinn House, they of the Second Battle of Manassas, it had been reduced to a broken chimney and a pile of debris.

‘…THE PATHOS OF WHOSE DEATH…’ Twenty-two years after the First Battle of Manassas, responsibility for firing on the Henry House and the death of Judith Henry was finally established. Gen. Charles F. Walcott, a former Union officer, returned to Manassas and interviewed Hugh Henry, and learned what had happened from his perspective.

“The explanation is that after their guns had been thrown into position immediately south of the house, Confederate sharpshooters, probably part of Hampton’s Legion, began shooting at the gunners from the shelter of the building. Thereupon some of the guns were turned on the house, and blasted it at point blank range.”

Noting that Mrs. Henry was the only civilian to die in the first big battle of the war, Mr. Hanson wrote, “Though but an obscure countrywoman … old and bed ridden, the pathos of whose death has set it apart from the usual battlefield casualty.”

In 1870, a new house was built on the site of the Henry House, using some of the foundation and the chimney base.

It is believed that Andrew Norman, a Confederate veteran, was hired by the Henry family to build the two-story, frame I-type house.

Judith Henry’s grandson, Arthur Lee Henry, sold the property to the Sons of Confederate Veterans in 1922. The SCV operated a historical museum there until 1940, when the U.S. Department of the Interior acquired the property for the Manassas National Battlefield Park. The MNBP Visitors Center was later built on Henry Hill, near the 1870 house and graveyard.

Part 2, to be published in September, deals with the Chinn House, the Robinson House, and Avon Farm, three historic properties that survived both Battles of Manassas, only to be lost in the 20th century.

10 WAYS

by Michelle Kelley, LCSW

Parents Can Help Girls Preserve Their Self-Esteem

Research shows that girls experience a significant drop in self-esteem around puberty - often during the middle school years. They internalize negative messages they hear from others and the media. Messages about the ideal body type or ideal beauty can leave a girl with fractured self-esteem and an abundance of self-doubt. The damaging effects of chronic low self-esteem can surface at any time in her life, wreaking havoc with her relationships and happiness.

It’s never too early to start helping your daughter create counter-balance in her world. This is your job as parents.

Your home should be a safe place for her to question and explore her feelings, right? The problem is that many girls stop sharing with their parents around puberty and they engage more with friends - through social media or texting.

Oftentimes parents find themselves on the outside looking in and feeling helpless.

Here is my top ten list of ways in which parents can help to preserve their daughter’s self-esteem during the often emotionally-turbulent years of middle school and high school.

1. Praise her efforts and accomplishments. Everyone has a unique talent, if not many. Many of us, me included, did not discover this until well into adulthood. Help your daughter discover her talents be they academic, sports, art, music, communication skills, or whatever it may be.

We live in a time where being athletic can be seen as the end-all, be-all - leading to a first class seat in the popular group. If your daughter is not athletic, help her find a place/group where she feels accepted. We all need to be a part of something. Early on you can guide her in a positive direction.

2. Talk about self-image. The media and fashion industry thrive on female insecurity. Body shame and eating disorders are at an all-time high. Help your daughter recognize and also reject harmful messages about her body.

Encourage her to define beauty for herself. Talk about the temptation to compare and the desire to be popular. Help her realize her value is not in her looks. I believe that there is great value in each person. How do you define value?

16

3. Discuss social media traps. Teach your child to use social media with care. Remind her that people often brag on social media and they tend to put their lives in the best light. What they are seeing may not reflect reality. Having too many friends (such as on Facebook) can easily lead to social comparison. Great questions to ask her: What do you notice about other people’s status updates? How much time do you think you spend on social media and is it balanced with your other activities? How do you want to show up on social media? One of my teen clients recently shared with me that social media causes her so much anxiety, but she can’t stop. In other words, she doesn’t want to miss out. FOMO is the fear of missing out and it is a real issue for teens. Be especially aware of Ask.fm or Instagram’s “rate me” posts. This can be the perfect platform for bullying and dangerous rumors. Yet at the same time they can be so tempting to girls.

4. Give her permission to be herself. A girl needs to feel unconditionally loved and that she is “good enough” as is. I am talking about her physical appearance as well as her emotional world. I realize there may be concerns that you may need to deal with such as a difficult personality or possibly getting braces to help her feel good about her smile. All of us will strive for improvement if we genuinely feel accepted the way we are. If your daughter is having difficulty fitting in with her peers, you may want to seek counseling for further insight and advice.

5. Nurture positive friendships.

Your daughter will experience a variety of friendships throughout her school years. Think back to the friendships you had when you were a teen. Some were likely positive and healthy while others were negative and hurtful. Some lasted and some did not. Help your daughter understand the sometimes changingnature of friendships and to resist the urge to hold on too tightly. Discuss what constitutes a good friend and healthy relationships. Help her distinguish between being treated rudely and misinterpreting a situation.

Friendships that cause her pain are not necessarily negative. Many girls tend to see relationships in black and white. Either they are good or bad.

The reality is that there are many possible categories for friendships.

Ask her to come up with some of her own categories. You can also ask her to reflect on what type of friend she is to others. I often see parents who struggle in this area.

6. Teach her it’s okay to say NO. No is a complete sentence. Many girls feel as if they are being mean or rude if they say No to a friend. You can see how this can create problems for them in their social and dating world. A girl who is not comfortable saying No is lacking the ability to hold boundaries with herself and others. There is an epidemic of girls who have the people-pleaser personality type. I did.

Standing up for herself and learning when it’s okay to say No is a skill you can teach and role model. Have her practice. We all want our daughters to be able to say No to a boy who is 18

not respecting her boundaries. You might be surprised how many strong, outspoken girls struggle in this area.

7. Challenge the ideal beauty standard. Girls are bombarded with images of the ideal beauty standard. Today it is being thin, having straight hair (straightened with a flat iron), dark eye liner and a flawless complexion. The media today often projects an unrealistic and often dangerous standard of beauty. I hear many girls talk about their dissatisfaction with their physical appearance and their weight. Talk to your daughter about her standard of beauty. We need to widen our definition of beauty so every girl can fit into it.

8. The real scoop on popularity.

I have yet to meet a teen who really understands popularity -- or anyone else for that matter. Popularity is difficult to define. It’s elusive. It may always seem just out of reach.

It’s something most girls want at some point and it can cause a lot of emotional pain. Most adults know the reality is that after you graduate, popularity means nothing. Encourage your daughter to explore her thoughts on popularity and challenge some of her negative thinking, such as “I could never be popular.” What if she were popular in a different sort of way?

Again, this is not a black and white issue. In the grey is where she will find the answers she is seeking. You can help her.

9. Dealing with mean girls and mean comments. The truth is that all girls have experienced life on both sides. We have all been a bit mean to others, and also have been on the receiving end of it. An open discussion is what I recommend here.

One of the best pieces of advice is to always validate your daughter’s feelings. Her feelings are real to her

and they can be scary. If she feels she is being picked on, then that is where you start the conversation. If she is experiencing emotional pain from being picked on or bullied, seek counseling to help her learn ways to stand up for herself and overcome the self-doubt she is most likely experiencing.

10. Stay connected - no matter what. Let’s face it, in today’s world with teens being so connected to technology, it can be challenging to keep our own connection to them.

However, most teens really do want to have some quality time with parents and family members. Be creative.

Listen to your daughter; don’t just talk at her. Spend time with her doing something she enjoys. Research shows that when parents offer an open, supportive environment at home, teenage girls are more likely to reach out in times of trouble.

A daughter is a wonderful gift.

Think back to when she was a little girl coming to you about everything.

Well, she still is vulnerable and scared at times on the inside. Remember this is a difficult time for her and her hormones are causing her to feel even more emotional. So be patient, take a break, and get support. The end result will be worth it.

IN CASE OF

Fire

Hydrant Painting Program Communicates Safety Many of us do not give a second

thought to the reliability of fire hydrants until there is an immediate need. When the flames and smoke are rising, we expect that the fire hydrant is there to help the first-responders called to the scene avoid catastrophe. For many years, certain water service districts in Fauquier County could not depend on this emergency resource. Thanks in part to recent efforts of the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority, having sufficient water to fight fires has taken a giant leap forward.

DRY BARREL HYDRANT

Outlet Cap

Call to Action Out of civil responsibility, the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority has recently instituted a program to improve our communities’ safety in cases of fire. Variations in terrain, system engineering, and system usage can affect the available pressure at a particular fire hydrant. Recently this was of serious concern in the Marshall Water Service District, wherein the Operating Nut hydrants’ pressures were not trusted by our Bonnet firefighters due to past failures. A history of Upper Stem problematic engineering prior to the County Upper Standpipe granting responsibility or Barrel for the Marshall District to the WSA had left the Breakable Coupling entire system in disrepair.

departments had all but abandoned their trust in the reliability of the hydrants in Marshall. “It is a testament to the skills and hard work of the volunteer firefighters that they were able to successfully find water sources to fight fires in the days [when] the Marshall water system was so severely compromised,” noted WSA Board Member Michael Focazio. In order to be prepared to fight a fire, the department would often rely on tanked-in water supply, pump water from a far-off hydrant, or pump water out of distant ponds.

Because time is of the essence in a fire emergency, the WSA responded to this concern “Contributing to the further effectiveness of the fire hydrant program, the County has also instituted an overlay map of all available fire hydrants in the system with computerized geo-location coordinates (GIS) to specifically identify and communicate the exact location of hydrants closest to a fire.”

-Chris Granger , Fauquier County Center District Supervisor by instituting a nationally recognized system of testing and labeling of hydrants’ operational reliability. When the program is completed, fire hydrants in the WSA service districts will follow a codex of paint colors and symbols that

style of hydrant in use in Fauquier County due to freezing winter temps. In an emergency it is important for firefighers to know the engineering specifics of the hydrant and the connected water line.

home on a public system with water coming -Steven G. Cosby, from a central source.

WSA Board Member The WSA manages 15 districts throughout the county. Warrenton operates its own water and sanitation authority.

In order to manage public water supplies in our more densely populated communities, the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority (WSA) is empowered by the Virginia Water and Waste Authorities Act of 1950. The Act and subsequent legislation govern all other public water and sanitation authorities like the WSA throughout the Commonwealth; directing them to maintain the quality and supply of water.

What is often misunderstood is that the WSA is not a government body of Fauquier County, but rather an independent political subdivision of the Commonwealth.

What does this mean? For starters, like all public water utilities in Virginia, the WSA derives no funds from County taxes. All of its operating expenses are funded by WSA customers through service fees, just like a regular utility.

Capital expenses are funded through builders and developers through availability fees.

Because this tactic was used on an as-needed basis, the locations of the fire plugs was not always convenient or effective in solving a larger-scale or quick moving fire.

Case in point: the Great Fire of 1666, which practically decimated a large portion of the city. Upon rebuilding, London’s engineers installed pre-fitted fire plugs at regular intervals and placed them on risers so that they could be accessed from street level. This more expedient access was borne out of the desire avoid a repeat of the disaster the city had so narrowly survived.

Over time, this ingenious solution has evolved to the modern hydrant system we recognize today.

Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center Celebrates Success The Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center opened at 493 Blackwell Road, Suite 101A in Warrenton in June of 2009. For five years, it has filled an urgent need as the only facility of its kind in the area.

Likely candidates for treatment are those suffering from diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, infections and wounds that haven’t healed within 30 days. One of the highly specialized treatments offered at the Wound Healing Center is hyperbaric

oxygen therapy, which works by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This increases the amount of oxygen in the patient’s blood and — in the case of wounds — allows red blood cells to pass more easily through the plasma into the wound to heal it from the inside out. Diabetic foot wounds are an example of wounds that may benefit most from this type of treatment.

Specialized Wound Healing Care, Close to Home Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center employs the use of tissue oxygenation, vascular studies, tissue culturing and pathology, revascularization, bioengineered skin grafting and clinical or surgical debridement.

For more information about the Fauquier Health Wound Healing Center or to make an appointment, call 540-316HEAL (4325).

COMMUNITYSpotlight

CHRIST IN ACTION PROVIDES Christ in Action is a national network of volunteers committed to providing comfort, counseling and resources during hugely emotionally traumatic events as faith-based first responders. Since 1998, when the notoriously disastrous floods to hit Cuero, Texas, Christ in Action (C-I-A) has volunteers collaborate to provide comfort and support to those affected by sudden tragedies.

As an interdenominational NGO, the privately-funded grassroots organization calls on members of various churches to undergo a collegiate-level crisis training program.

In this two day course, volunteers are given extensive preparation for a variety of crisis scenarios with Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) training. The goal of such education is to prepare volunteers for the unique type of psychological stress experienced by disaster survivors. Whether their homes have been destroyed, their loved ones are missing, or they are firefighters and paramedics enduring the stress of harrowing rescues, disaster survivors’ immediate emotional comfort needs can be met by someone with CISM training.

C-I-A’s Operations Director Chris Zitzmann states, “CISM is intended to be emotional first-aid. We can’t provide long-term psychological care, but we can help people make some sense of their ‘new normal’ following a disaster.”

One of Bethany Zitzmann, Chris’s wife’s, first deployments as a volunteer for Christ in Action was to the sites of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Volunteers provided quiet space, warm meals, and emotional support to the firefighters, police and emergency workers brought to the scenes to dig through the rubble.

Nearly six years later, on a blustery spring day, local C-I-A volunteers responded after the horrific shooting at Virginia Tech. “Our volunteers supported the campus minister the basics of critical incident stress 28

management. He was able to provide the traumatized students with bottles of water and a listening ear. Some people need to talk things out in order to really process what has happened. Others just need a quiet space to begin working through the terrible feelings they’re experiencing. We were there to provide that. It made a difference.”

Zitzmann further explains that the organizations compulsion to live out their mission statement, “Bringing Hope to America’s Families,” remains firmly supported by and rooted in their Christian faith. “We want to be an active representation of Jesus Christ-His hands and feet in Action. In Matthew 5, Jesus says, ‘Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.’

We show love in practical, tangible ways to those who have lost hope so that our light shines for people to see, pointing them to Jesus and glorifying God.” (Matthew 5:13-16; Titus 3:14) Christ in Action has a fleet of

specialized support vehicles. The horsepower behind the hope includes a big-rig whose trailer is outfitted to provide hot showers to those displaced from their homes’ clean, comforting surroundings following disaster situations. They also maintain heavy duty trucks with trailers outfitted with B road R un L ifestyle

CRISIS TRAINING AND RELIEF commercial kitchens large enough to feed hot meals to over 5,000 people per day. The charity is also able to provide local emergency services with additional power equipment, such as bulldozers and excavators for use in recovery and cleanup. Locally, C-I-A has volunteered to assist homeowners whose homes are totally lost to fire recover more quickly and with less financial devastation by completing structural demolition with charity’s donated time and equipment.

Christ in Action’s administrative offices recently relocated to office space above Leading Edge Screen Printing on Walker Drive. The large equipment used by the charity will continue to be stored offsite in facilities outside of the area. While the charity’s 1,400 volunteers are formally trained in

crisis management, additional C-I-A volunteers step forward to provide operational support. Local volunteers have journeyman-level experience in a variety of construction trades, and the renovation of the new office space is being completed by such a crew.

Full time staff members are responsible for raising their own salaries through missionary-style fundraising efforts with supporting churches and faith-based organizations. Chris Zitzmann came to the program through his home church, Mountain View Community Church in Culpeper, for whom he is thankful for their continued support of his missionary work.

At its heart, the organization has a commitment to help people going through arduous and painful circumstances. C-I-A’s volunteers are trained for larger scale incidents, but that doesn’t mean that they are not in tune with the community’s daily needs. Zitzmann explains that during the relatively quieter times, volunteers

can be found helping the family of a newly diagnosed cancer patient prepare for their new schedule of doctors’ appointments and treatments, or comforting a family who has lost a child in a tragic accident.

As Mr. Rogers is often quoted during times of crisis, chaos and stress as saying, “Look for the helpers.

You will always find people who are helping,” Christ in Action is responding to that need.

Christ in Action’s new headquarters is located at 405 Rosedale Court in Warrenton, Virginia, just off of Walker Drive. Their website provides full information and history of the charity at ChristInAction.com.

These images, taken during the aftermath of the Moore, OK torandoes, show some of the help Christ In Action’s group provides.
