Addiction-recovery service under transition Citing finances, McShin to cease Warrenton operation By James Ivancic Times sTaff WriTer

If the pieces fall into place, the McShin Foundation’s Warrenton addiction-recovery center could continue under a new name and a new nonprofit this summer. Financial problems prompted McShin, the Richmond-based addiction-recovery nonprofit, to close centers in Hopewell and Caroline counties. New nonprofits will be taking over and continuing addiction-recovery services there. The Warrenton office, at 30 John Marshall St.,

will stay open longer — until the end of July. And if center manager Chris Connell is successful, it will continue under a new addiction-recovery nonprofit: Hope Heals. “I’m in the process of filing paperwork,” said Connell. She’s been looking for financial support and people willing to serve on the nonprofit’s board of directors. “I’m hoping it will be in the same building. I’ve talked to several people in the county” about that, Connell said. But a location hasn’t been settled. “We’re still kind of in limbo,” said Deputy County Administrator Katie Heritage, who said the county was surprised when Connell told them McShin “was folding up.” “The lease goes to about August. We’ll have to

see” what happens next, Heritage said. Fauquier County owns the building at 30 John Marshall St., which it purchased earlier this year for future office or parking space.

Town’s denial of residential program affected finances

McShin had sought a special permit from the Town of Warrenton to start a 28-day residential addiction-recovery program for up to 14 people at the John Marshall Street site. But the Warrenton Town Council denied that request in January, citing a conflict with zoning rules that bar residential uses on the ground floor of commercial buildings.

Last-minute campaign leaflets and robocalls delivered to Warrenton residents just prior to the May 1 election prompted at least two complaints to the Virginia State Board of Elections as well as a May 21 hearing in Richmond. The calls and flyers, distributed by “Fauquier Voters for Truth,” urged voters to cast their ballots for incumbent Warrenton Town Councilman Sean Polster and candidate Renard Carlos, both of whom won the two at-large seats up for re-election. At the time they were distributed, the group behind the flyers was not registered as a political action committee and had not filed financial disclosure statements, as required by state election law.

PATH Foundation helps students learn to give Thanks to the decisions of Fauquier County’s high school seniors, nonprofit organizations will receive $20,425 in donations. The Warrenton-based PATH Foundation recently conducted an effort designed to encourage high school seniors think about giving back to their communities. The program offered each student $25 to donate to a nonprofit registered with Give Local Piedmont, the May 1 fundraising campaign run by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation. A total of 817 high school seniors— from public and private schools in Fauquier — participated in the program, which was also offered in 2016. Their donations totaled $20,425. The PATH Foundation extended the same offer to high school seniors in Culpeper and Rappahannock counties, with their votes adding $11,625 to the effort. In total, the high school senior program gave $32,050 in donations to 122 organizations registered with Give Local Piedmont. “The idea behind the program is to encourage high school seniors to think about giving back to their communities as they’re looking toward their futures,” PATH President and CEO Christy Connolly said.

“Having the program support Give Local Piedmont gives students a glimpse of how many nonprofits are working to make this a great place to live. We’re so glad to have all public and private schools join us in making this project successful.” The students watched a video explaining the program’s premise and then received ballots to select one of more than 150 organizations registered to participate in the May 1 Give Local Piedmont event. Organizers encouraged each student to pick an organization important to him or her. Overall, animals garnered the most support from the students, with 12 animal-welfare organizations receiving $7,400 (more than 25 percent of the seniors’ support). Fauquier SPCA, the top-selected nonprofit, received 133 votes (124 from Fauquier County students). For the fifth consecutive year, the PATH Foundation also contributed $100,000 to the Give Local Piedmont campaign in addition to the high school senior program. Participating nonprofits represent arts and culture, animal welfare, community improvement, education, environment, health, housing, human services, public safety and crime prevention, and youth development.

FAUQUIER FOCUS Wear blue and don’t put the tile down Pauline Hall Upshur was excited to be celebrating her 85th birthday. Family and friends arrived at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Rectortown to have a party in her honor. Born April 24, 1933, Pauline’s special day was remembered on Sunday, April 29. “My children got together…they decided they wanted to give me a nice 85,” said Pauline, proud of her four children: Robin, Adrian, Ronald and Rodonna, or as family knows her, ‘Donnie.’ “It was really wonderful,” said Pauline’s eldest child, Robin Fields. “We had a display of her life that folks could see…albums to look through and remind of her life.” Pauline came dressed for the occasion wearing a stunning powder blue suit with a blue hat that no doubt would have drawn attention at the recent Virginia Gold Cup. “My baby daughter gave me the hat,” said Pauline with a pleased chuckle. “Oh, I don’t care about being in style… just want to be neat and clean and well kept.” The hat and suit had been given to her several years back and she decided to wear the ensemble for the occasion. What she didn’t know was that the cake would be decorated with a photo of her wearing her blue millinery masterpiece. “Oh, that cake was delicious,” said Pauline, “it was part vanilla and part chocolate.” There were quite a few refreshments including tea, mints and peanuts. Pauline readily admits that she is blessed to have her four children, 10 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. “I feel sorry for folks who don’t have grandbabies,” said Pauline. “It can be hectic but what a joy they are.” With the exception of brief stints elsewhere, Pauline happily reports that she has lived “just about all of my life” in Fauquier County. As a young woman,

Pauline Hall Upshur she worked in retail at Lane Bryant in Washington, D.C. She also has fond memories of her and chums like Joan Williams who would meet up at the Ford Motor Company in Marshall and then drive into Fredericksburg. “We were working on our two-year college degrees…what a lot of work to get our educations.” Widowed for 21 years, her husband Robert (Bobby) Upshur died in 1997. They were married in 1954. Her grown children are not far away with the youngest living in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, one son in Manassas, another in Culpeper and Robin in Catlett. Healthwise, Pauline is a happy camper. “I’m still going,” she says but offers words of advice. “You can’t be too careful…if your husband isn’t around to do things, don’t try it on your own…hire it done because it’s not worth it.” Four years ago, Pauline suffered a stroke. “I said to myself, ‘I’m going to put that tile down,’” Pauline recounted of her efforts to tile her bathroom floor. “It was all going well and then I got so tired…so tired and I said to myself, ‘You need to rest for a while.’ I just got so tired and then I was leaning against the wall…I didn’t fall…I just slid down on my butt and there I was and I could hear the phone ringing.” Robin phones her every night to check on her and it was Robin that was calling, but Pauline was too weak to get to the phone. “Well, I eventually wobbled over and called Robin…told her I’d fallen and she said, ‘Mama, I’m coming,’ and pretty soon Robin, my neighbors and the rescue squad were there and I was on the way to the hospital,” recalls Pauline. “My advice is, ‘Don’t put the tile down; it’s more of a job than you think,” laughed Pauline who will remember her 85th birthday as a day of good memories, fun with family and friends and, while she may not think so, celebrating in blue chic style. Happy birthday Pauline and many more! Classified Sales Consultants Jeanne Cobert, 540-878-2491 jcobert@fauquier.com Evelyn Cobert, 540-878-2492 ecobert@fauquier.com

Campaign leaflets, robocalls prompt state hearing HEARING from page 1 One side of the flyer displayed a copy of Keith Macdonald’s letter to Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables, announcing his withdrawal from the race, and urged that Vice Mayor Linda “Sunny” Reynolds be defeated. The flipside was a copy of a letter former Warrenton Councilman Yak Lubowsky sent to FauquierNow, which was critical of Reynolds and urged support for Polster and Carlos. The leaflets, left in doors, on mailboxes and under car windshields, were distributed April 28 and 29, the weekend before the election, in the Leeds Square, Menlough and Old Town areas of Warrenton. Neither Polster nor Carlos responded to requests for comment about the complaints. Fauquier Supervisor Chris Granger, whose district includes the Town of Warrenton and who supported Reynolds, filed one of the complaints. In a Facebook post, Granger said: “It pained me to do so, as today’s election in Warrenton has been about transparency and accountability.” “Unfortunately, this group has neither registered as a [political action committee], as required by Virginia law, nor reported their financial contributors since its formation in 2015. This lack of transparency is alarming. I hope this group is fined to the full extent of the law and this type of dirty campaigning is run out of our town for good,” Granger wrote. Warrenton political activist Chris Bonner registered “Fauquier Voters for Truth” with the State Corporation Commission in 2015. Bonner registered the group as a political action committee last week, after the fliers were distributed. “I regret confusion over the activities of Fauquier Voters for Truth LLC that gave rise to complaints to election and postal authorities. The LLC was formed in 2015 in the interest of good government

“We need to know what special interest groups may be seeking favored treatment from candidates for office. The issue is funding, not the truth of what was said.” WARRENTON MAYOR POWELL DUGGAN

and has been all but dormant ever since,” Bonner said in a statement. “To the extent our counsel believes that the events of three days in April days constitute non-exempt activities, we will file the necessary documents required by the State Board of Elections within the time frame required under the law,” his statement said. According to a representative of the State Board of Elections, organizations comply with state law as long as they register as PACs within 10 days of conducting any political activity. Bonner said the automated phone calls and campaign fliers “were preceded or accompanied by all requisite disclosures.” The content of the calls, he said, “were straight polling calls, followed by conventional, get-out-the-vote calls.” “The contents of the flyer were limited to a public signed document and a public, signed opinion piece,” Bonner said in his statement. “Their additional dissemination violated no law and was permitted as free speech under the First Amendment.” Warrenton Mayor Powell Duggan, who decided not to seek re-election, noted on Facebook that town leaders made a point to follow state election rules. “One of the first acts taken by the new council in 2014 was to make Warrenton subject to state election laws, which otherwise would not apply to a town (this) size,” he wrote. “Everyone currently on council and I supported this.” During the last election, Duggan continued,

“The reporting requirements did not work as well as we had hoped, with at least one PAC making a contribution after the election, but these requirements are important, and we must be vigilant in bringing them to light.” “This is particularly true if donations are solicited or accepted by candidates. We need to know what special interest groups may be seeking favored treatment from candidates for office. The issue is funding, not the truth of what was said, Duggan wrote. In a letter to Tony Tedeschi, who helped run Reynolds’ campaign, and filed the other complaint, Virginia Department of Elections Policy Assistant Nikki Clemons said the matter would be the subject of a May 21 hearing in Richmond “to determine whether a violation has occurred and whether to impose civil penalties.” Bonner, however, said Fauquier Voters for Truth registered as a PAC before the letter was written. “That may not have been known by the time the letter was signed,” Bonner said. In a statement the day after the election, Tedeschi said the LLC failure to register as a PAC “is a clear violation of campaign law.” Tedeschi said the purpose of his complaint “is not to challenge the results of the election but to hold those supporters accountable for illegal and deceptive practices.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Citing finances, McShin to cease Warrenton operation MCSHIN from page 1 But both town and county officials have said they see a need for a residential service and have been working toward making that happen, although “the county hasn’t made a decision on what provider to go with,” Heritage said. The county has applied to the Town of Warrenton for a rezoning and a special-use permit to convert a building on Hospital Drive to a residential treatment facility. The rezoning and SUP aren’t on the town planning commission’s agenda yet. Both Connell and John Shinholser, co-founder of the McShin Foundation, say approval of the earlier request for a residential center at the John Marshall Street building would have allowed McShin to continue to operate in Warrenton, since the residential program would have provided a stream of revenue for the operation. “Money started drying up,” leaving the foundation unable to sustain its outreach programs, Shinholser said. The foundation relies heavily on donations. It also sells a residential-recovery program that

Shinholser said costs “80 percent less than traditional treatment and has better results.” In Richmond, the foundation also operates a private McShin Academy, a high school for those in recovery. “There’s no [government funding] for grassroots community programs that do the triage,” Shinholser said. The McShin operation in Caroline County has switched over to a local nonprofit that “rose up and carried on as a community organization. That’s what’s happening in Warrenton. That’s what Chris is doing,” Shinholser said, referring to Connell. “We hope they will use the McShin model. The community’s got to rise up and take care of their own. We really did some good outreach,” he added. Connell said Thursday she has started the process of launching a nonprofit to take over the McShin operation in Warrenton. “I’m about 30 to 40 days out” to complete it, Connell said, noting it will “definitely” be done by the end of July when McShin’s involvement ends. It would realize an idea she had before starting to work for McShin, where she started as a volun-

teer in January 2017 and continued as a full-time employee last August. “That’s how I started out,” Connell said of her plan to form a local nonprofit. “Then I met the McShin Foundation and decided why should I start something new?” Connell has a degree in criminal justice and a minor in psychology. She said the “passion” for helping addicts comes from her own daughter’s struggles. Meanwhile, fundraising efforts continue. Connell said the Warrenton center received $1,200 in donations from the May 1 Give Local Piedmont drive. The Warrenton center is also sponsoring a car show and silent auction from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 12 at the Family Worship Center, 12077 Marsh Road in Bealeton. Admission is free, but vehicle owners will pay a $20 entry fee. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, face-painting and food for sale. For more information about the May 12 event, contact Chris at 540-308-3729 or Chrisc@mcshin. org. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Where’s the water? Device aims to help Fauquier chart its aquifers By Leland Schwartz Times sTaff WriTer

It’s no accident it looks like a science experiment, because that’s exactly what it is. Engineered in Denmark and brought to Fauquier by the U.S. Geological Survey, the first and only t-TEM was brought to Marshall last week to see if its technology could speed the mapping of the county’s deep and hard-to-find underground aquifers. USGS and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality scientists dragged the device through fields outside Marshall. The device transmits electronic signals into the ground that bounce back and are recorded, seconds later, by a sled trailing several yards behind. Its name — t-TEM — refers to its use of towed-transient electromagnetic signals. The lead part of the t-TEM looks like a small white raft, the other a brown lobster cage. Both are mounted on sleds, held together with cables and pulled by an all-terrain vehicle. The imaging technology itself isn’t new. It’s a decades-old way of map-

The testing helps geologists better understand the underground rock and its capacity to hold water.

What’s new is the application of the device, configured to be dragged across the ground. That part was designed by Denmark’s Aarhus University. Up until now, geologists using such devices would traditionally place the equipment over a particular location and shoot off a signal burst. They would then move the equipment and repeat the process—a slow, expensive and labor-intensive way to obtain a 3-D image. Flying such equipment over large areas in a helicopter, known as Airborne EM or AEM surveys, offers advantages similar to the in-motion t-TEM. But using aircraft is expensive. The t-TEM, the geologists said, represents the best of both worlds, being both fast and inexpensive. The work is part of an ongoing, five-year USGS and DEQ study to understand Fauquier’s underground water assets. It’s now about half-way through what amounts to a large data-collection effort looking for trends in usage and recharge. “We’re still piecing it together,”

said DEQ’s Brad White, who was at the demonstration to take new readings from Marshall’s high-yield, 125-gallon-per-minute Salem Well #3. “This is really a unique opportunity for us to collect data and hopefully make some inferences about how water is stored and how it moves in this particular type of rock.” Marshall is a particularly data-rich hunting ground for White because there are about 10 nearby wells from which he can take readings. One of White’s monitors showed water flowing from what he identified as a fracture at a contact point between a highly metamorphosed section of rock and non-metamorphosed section of rock. That’s useful to know, White says, because sheared sections of rock have the ability to capture water under the right situations. Identifying such features helps geologists determine targets for future well-drilling. As important, it helps guide land-use decisions above the identified water-storage areas. “We need to understand what happens to the water availability when you pump those wells over a long period of time,” USGS scientist Kurt McCoy said. As for the data collectedly by the t-TEM, McCoy says it all happens right there on the spot. Well, not exactly. “These guys are collecting data. They hit the send button to Denmark now, and they’re looking at the data over there and sending back the interpretation,” he said. “It is pretty exciting to have Fauquier County used as a showcase for one of the first applications of this technology in the U.S.A.,” McCoy said. “Why Marshall?” he asked, ready with the answer. “Because water availability in places like Marshall, where a majority of water in aquifers is stored in the regolith (weathered material that covers crystalline bedrock and permeable fracture zones) is a national issue.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Room to grow: Moving forward from May’s election

Last week we said towns work best when their residents vote. Last Tuesday, May 1, voters in Warrenton and around the county did just that, in what were large numbers for local elections. Warrenton has 6,744 registered voters, according to the Fauquier County registrar, and about 1,502 voted — a turnout of 22.27 percent — on what was a perfect spring day. Voters were guaranteed a new face in the mayor’s office with Mayor Powell Duggan choosing not to seek re-election. They chose Old Town businessman Carter Nevill over his opponent, Grace Rigby. Nevill said his first priority will be to build a coalition. We applaud that strategy and will hold the new mayor to his word, particularly in the wake of a sometimes contentious race for the two at-large council seats. Voters re-elected incumbent Warrenton Town Councilman Sean Polster, while in an upset, chose a new face in OUR VIEW Renard Carlos over incumbent Vice Mayor Linda “Sunny” Reynolds. Clearly, Warrenton voters wished to inject some new energy to the council. Carlos in a candidates’ forum April 18 stressed a cautious, business-like approach and the need for better communication with town residents. We look forward to seeing his influence on both as a member of the council. Polster spoke of his excitement moving forward, and we share that excitement. As Warrenton moves onward with its new mayor, a new vice mayor who will be elected at the first council meeting in July and a new face on the council, it will tackle continuing and new issues that will require all the characteristics the candidates spoke of leading up to the election and since: cooperation, vision, communication and smart practices. That likely will not mean 100 percent agreement on the issues. We expect healthy debate, but always with what is best for Warrenton residents being the primary goal. Like Polster, we respect and thank Sunny Reynolds for her service to the community and have no doubt her voice will be heard as Warrenton moves forward. We commend the strong voter turnout in our local elections. 25.71 percent of voters in The Plains returned three incumbents to their town council. In Remington, 15.52 percent of voters chose two newcomers to join Mayor Gerald Billingsley and four incumbents on the town council. But our enthusiasm is tempered by just how much higher those numbers could, no should, be. It is easy to get stirred up by state and national politics, and we don’t deny that “all politics is local,” the maxim often applied to politics on those levels. But nowhere is it more local than on the town level, where our colleagues and neighbors make the decisions that most directly affect us.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago May 13, 1943 Capt. William E. Doeller, U.S. Army Air Corps, was officially credited in the February list of victories with downing a Japanese Zero fighter, according to news brought to Fauquier by Col. R. J. Kirkpatrick, now on leave here after several months in Australia. Capt. Doeller, on active duty in Australia, went out on a raid in one of our heavy bombers. They were attacked by a number of Zeros, and one of the enemy planes was shot down by Capt. Doeller and his crew. William T. Gordon, Third Class Petty Officer, U.S.N., at 18 is a veteran of five major battles in the Pacific during his service on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Hornet. Gordon, a mechanics mate, serviced the planes of Doolittle’s squadron which raided Japan, as well as many others that went into battle from the Hornet. 50 Years Ago May 16, 1968 An estimated $250,000 in damage was caused by a fire early Thursday morning at Fairway Chevrolet-Buick, 56 E. Lee St., Warrenton. The fire was first discovered by Police Officer Nelson Burke about 3 a.m. Warrenton Fire Chief Albert Miller said when he arrived on the scene, the fire had extended over the entire showroom area. The Upperville School will be closed next year because of dwindling enrollment. The school board decided on the closing Tuesday after Superintendent Ryland Dishner reported that two teachers there are instructing a total of 26 students.

Warrenton students find there’s fun in going ‘screen free’ By James Ivancic Times sTaff WriTer

A group of Warrenton Middle School students put aside their smartphones and computers and left their TVs turned off — at least for a little while — during “Screen-Free Week,” April 30 to May 6. Twelve students signed a pledge to abide by the “screen free” restriction, except to do schoolwork. Screen-Free Week used to be called “TV Turn-Off Week,” but the proliferation of handheld gadgets and computers led to the name change this year. Warrenton Middle School planned a variety of after-school activities to keep kids busy without their devices. “I’ve been trying to find opportunities for students and things they can do without turning their screens on. We’ve even had teachers sign the pledge,” said Linda Hume, a seventh-grade language arts teacher at the school. Warrenton Middle has about 450 students in grades six through eight. Hume varied the after-school events each day. Monday was “Get Your Game On Day.” Students played board and card games and worked puzzles. On Tuesday, they climbed an artificial rock wall brought in by the National Guard and rode unicycles with members of the UniStars Unicycles. On Wednesday, they signed “kindness” cards for hospital patients and thankyou cards for firefighters and worked on fleece blankets to give to pediatric cancer patients. They read favorite

books during a “Read-In” on Thursday. On Friday, they joined a scavenger hunt in downtown Warrenton. Door prizes were awarded each day, and there were snacks and drinks. Sponsors provided food, drinks, gift cards and door prizes. “I spent $5 the whole week” from her own funds, said Hume, who said she was grateful for the sponsors’ support. The students had fun with the activities. Going screen-free for at least part of the day was a challenge, though. Typically, “when I wake up in the morning I watch YouTube,” said Charlotte Funkhouser, a sixth-grade student. But, “I couldn’t stay screen-free” forever. She plays mahjong but uses an iPad to do so. As for the activities during the Screen-Free Week, “I tried climbing the wall. I got halfway,” Charlotte said. Karee Duckett, a sixth-grader, said she’s not allowed to have a cellphone until she turns 13. She does have an iPod. Allie Strickland, also a sixth-grader, said she has to wait another year before her parents will let her get a cellphone. Students were invited to complete the sentence “I can unplug and ….” Their answers, posted on a cafeteria wall included, “I will invite my friends over more,” “… and not play games,” “spend more time with my family,” “ride my bike,” “read more books,” “play outside with my sister” and

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ JAMES IVANCIC “play on my trampoline.” Though the number of students participating in Screen-Free Week was small in relation to the school’s 450 students, Hume considered it a success. “Anything more than zero is a success,” she said. The sponsors of Screen-Free Week included: Chick-fil-A, Ruby Tuesday, Ledo Pizza, Red Truck Bakery, Carousel, Giant, Harris Teeter, Wegmans, 360 Health + Fitness, Innovative Physical Therapy, Mathnasium, g. whillikers, The Grasman Group LLC, National Guard and UniStars Unicyclists.

LFCC English professor achieves literary highlight For adjunct English Professor Jessi Lewis, getting her short story published in Oxford American, an iconic literary publication that bills itself as “A Magazine of the South,” has been a long-held dream. Her piece, “False Morels,” was named the magazine’s 2018 debut fiction winner. It is the tale of a college student and her Polish-born grandmother with whom she has a fraught relationship stumbling upon the body of a man as they hunt mushrooms together in a Virginia woods. “That piece has been rejected over 50 times from other jourJessi Lewis nals,” says Lewis, who is in her second year as an adjunct at LFCC. She teaches English Composition and Survey of Early American Literature in person at the Middletown Campus and online for Fauquier Campus students. Her story was chosen over more than 700 other submissions. Lewis says she’s been “obsessed” with getting published in the Oxford American since she

first discovered the magazine. “When I found out ‘False Morels’ had been selected, I think I danced with my cat — I was really excited, and she was on my lap,” she says. “Oxford American editors define themselves as kind of a Southern New Yorker.” In 2006, Lewis earned her associate degree at the same time she graduated from Clarke County High School because she took dual-enrollment classes with LFCC. She went on to James Madison University where she received her bachelor’s degree in English and master’s degree in writing, rhetoric and technical communication. Additionally, Lewis has a master’s degree in fine arts, creative writing/fiction, from West Virginia University. Both of Lewis’ parents are LFCC professors. Her mother, Kim, teaches English, while her father, Bill, teaches engineering. “We were reading and writing when I was probably too young to understand what was going on,” Lewis says. While her parents encouraged her to follow her passion, “they wanted me to pursue writing while

having security as well.” She has had essays, short stories and poems published in other journals, but none as prestigious as Oxford American. “In my short stories, I tend to focus on family dynamics, and conflicts between humanity and nature,” Lewis says. “I don’t really get writer’s block. If you have a hesitation, you just need to continue on writing, or deal with another project and then it kind of comes back to you.” She is currently working on a novel, but isn’t yet ready to share many details about it. When Lewis thinks back to her LFCC days, she recalls her Early American Literature professor Brent Kendrick as being a favorite. “Brent’s class was fantastic and got me ready for JMU,” she says. Art professor Ann Currie was another favorite who “made me want to keep going in college.” In fact, Lewis minored in art. Her late grandmother, Irmengard Lewis, was a local artist. “I always had Mom having me read poetry and my grandmother having me support art,” Lewis says.

LFCC grad transferring to Liberty University pursuing his dream career As he picks up his associate of science degree on Saturday at Skyline High School in Warren County, Kurt Schneckenburger will be continuing a family tradition. It was just last spring that his brother, Karl, graduated from LFCC. And, younger brother, Kevin, will be starting his studies at Lord Fairfax this fall. The fourth brother, Kurt Kenny, is still in Schneckenburger high school. Warrenton resident Schnecken-

burger is one of 169 Fauquier County residents who are in the Lord Fairfax Community College Class of 2018. Sixteen Rappahannock County residents are in the class, as well. There are 1,184 total graduates. “I decided to come to LFCC because it was a nice transition from being homeschooled my whole life, to being in a classroom with multiple students,” Schneckenburger says. He is following Karl to Liberty University later this year. There, Schneckenburger, who is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, will study zoology. He ultimately hopes to be a veterinarian taking care of small and exotic animals.

“I decided I wanted to be a veterinarian in 10th grade,” Schneckenburger says. “That year, I did a co-op biology class, and the dissection part where we learned about the skeletal system and organs fascinated me. Additionally, I’ve had animals my whole life, and I’ve always loved playing with them.” In fact, he works at Fauquier SPCA as a kennel attendant and adoption counselor placing animals into the right homes. He even rescued his beagle from the shelter there. Besides three dogs, Schneckenburger has a Russian box tortoise and three parakeets. The best part about Lord Fairfax is the accessibility of the professors, according to Schneckenburger. “They make themselves available,” he says. “They tell you, ‘Come

by any time.’ One said we could come by to talk about anything, it didn’t even have to be related to class.” The advising staff at the Warrenton Campus, which is where Schneckenburger took his classes, was topnotch, ensuring he was taking the right classes to transfer to Liberty. “They’ve been so helpful to me throughout my two years here,” he says. “I’ve been able to go in with any questions.” Math professor Jeremiah Dyke has been his favorite professor. “The way he taught the class clicked with me immediately,” Schneckenburger says. “I would not have been able to take calculus and do really well if I didn’t have him as my instructor. He would answer my questions and help everything make sense.”

Duel enrollment graduates Included among the 1,184 graduates making up the LFCC Class of 2018 are 291 students earning degrees or certificates through the college’s dual-enrollment program. These students are graduating from Lord Fairfax even before receiving their high school diplomas — very impressive! They also represent a nearly 32-percent increase over last year’s 221 high schoolers earning LFCC degrees. Students earning a certificate have attained one full year of college courses. High school students who earn either a certificate or an associate degree are known as Governor’s Scholars. Below is a breakdown of Governor’s Scholars from area high schools, and whether they were also Mountain Vista Governor’s School (MVGS) students: • Culpeper High School 2; both as MVGS students • Eastern View High School 1; MVGS student • Fauquier High School 9; 6 as MVGS students • Kettle Run High School 8; 6 as MVGS students • Liberty High School 2; both as MVGS students • Rappahannock County High School 3; 1 as MVGS student

Shop owner suspects cigarette butt to blame for May 7 fire By Leland Schwartz Times sTaff WriTer

“It could have been worse.” That’s what Hartman Jewelers owner David Hartman said Tuesday as he looked at the damage caused by a Monday evening fire at the front of his Main Street store. “This could have happened in the middle of the night, and there would be no buildings left here. This could have been really, really, bad,” he said. Instead, the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company was called around 8:30 p.m. May 7 after someone next door at Molly’s restaurant saw smoke coming from the front of the jewelry store. When firefighters arrived, they found and extinguished the fire under the floor near the entrance of the store. The firemen said the incident was not related to electrical wiring, Hartman said, adding: “Speculation is probably a cigarette” tossed on the ground outside the building. “But they don’t know for sure so it’s go-

ing to be ‘undetermined,’” he said. Hartman said the store might have to be closed for up to a month for repairs. No one was injured. Molly’s and Black Bear, both nearby restaurants, were impacted by the smoke but open for business on Tuesday, May 8. Lt. William Hayes of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company, said in an email responding firefighters found a “small fire in the void space between the main level floor of Hartman Jewelers and basement ceiling.” “Due to the location of the type of construction, crews took the time to open up the area as much as possible to ensure the fire was extinguished,” Hayes said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Hartman said it was his brother-in-law who lives in Culpeper who called to alert him about the fire. Asked how that happened, he said, “It’s a small town.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

MAKING A FINAL SWEEP

In addition to drawing up our wills and making funeral prearrangements, Swedish artist and author Margareta Magnusson believes that we should help smooth the transition surrounding our eventual demise by taking at least one more important step. In her book, “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning,” Ms. Magnusson advocates that people declutter their homes and get rid of unnecessary possessions before they die so that their children will not be burdened with the task of sorting through a lifetime of things. By performing this late-in-life task, parents help their children avoid the perplexing task of trying to decide what their parents would have wanted them to save and where to store these items. According to the author, getting rid of stuff is a way to bring order to chaos. It is a permanent form of organization that makes your everyday life run more smoothly. Another thing you can do to help your loved ones it to pre-plan your funeral. Preplanning your service allows loved ones to spend time supporting each other. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 to schedule a consultation at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton. “The song is ended, but the melody lingers on…” ~Irving Berlin

Tips to keep allergy sufferers from dreading spring From pretty tulips and daffodils to the freedom of ditching heavy winter parkas, the joys of spring are easy to appreciate. Unless, of course, you have allergies. Then, the path to longer days and warmer weather could be marked with watery eyes, sneezing and a runny nose. Makes it difficult to enjoy the season, right? It doesn’t have to be. While spring carries its own concerns for allergy sufferers everywhere, there is relief. Now is the perfect time to set plans in place to help ease your allergy symptoms before they begin. “People think they’re doing everything they can to battle spring allergies,” says allergist Dr. Bradley Chipps, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “But many still find themselves under siege from pollen and other allergens that appear once the weather starts to warm up. What they don’t realize is that by following a few simple rules they can make life a lot more pleasant and their allergies more bearable.” As you start your spring allergy

planning, keep these five tips from ACAAI in mind:

eliminate allergens such as dust mites and mold and clear the air.

1. It may not only be allergies.

3. Start your relief early on.

In some cases the symptoms you are experiencing may not be caused by allergies alone but by another complication such as asthma. Research shows two-thirds of people with asthma also suffer from allergies, making symptoms worse during the spring season. If your symptoms include a persistent cough or feeling winded quickly, asthma could be the cause of your trouble. If this sounds familiar, consult your allergist. Your allergist can help identify the source of your asthma and help treat your allergies to manage your symptoms.

2. Take a deep dive for spring cleaning.

Spring cleaning is a must for many people, but if you suffer from allergies, it’s even more important. Clearing dust and cobwebs can ease your sneezing, but for better results, roll up your sleeves and give your home a deep scrub. A thorough cleaning can

Don’t wait for your eyes to begin watering before taking your allergy medicine. Start your medications at least two weeks before the season begins, and they will already be in your system when you really need it.

4. Clean your air effectively.

When looking for support to clean the air in your home, don’t choose an ionic air filter. These filters require more airflow to operate properly than most homes are able to provide. Instead choose a HEPA room air cleaner rated with a Clean Air Delivery Rate. If you have central air, change your filters every three months and use filters with a MERV rating of 11 or 12 to keep your air as clean as possible.

5. Resist the urge to breathe in fresh air.

After months cooped up indoors, you want a fresh breeze, but before you open your windows, beware.

Opening windows allows pollen and other debris into your home where they can settle in your carpet or upholstery. As hard as it can be, you’re better off keeping your windows closed during peak allergy season. Use your air conditioning to regulate your home’s temperature instead. – Brandpoint

MAY IS FAQs: Signs of depression in children and young adults

in every

Courtesy Mental Health Association of Fauquier County Fauquier-MHA.com

What are the signs of depression?

Persistent sadness, withdrawal from family and friends, loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyed, increased irritability or agitation, changes in eating and sleeping habits (e.g., significant weight loss, insomnia, excessive sleep), frequent physical complaints, such as headaches and stomachaches, lack of enthusiasm or motivation, decreased energy level and chronic fatigue, play that involves excessive aggression toward self or others, or that involves persistently sad themes, indecision, lack of concentration or forgetfulness, feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt, recurring thoughts of death or suicide.

children

What can parents and other adults do if they suspect a child may have depression?

Talk to the child about how he or she is feeling. Know the signs for depression and note the duration, frequency and severity of troubling behavior. If the child is struggling with any combination of the signs for depression for more than two weeks in different settings, take him or her to a mental health professional or doctor. Ask questions about treatments and services. A comprehensive treatment plan may include psychotherapy, ongoing evaluation and, in some cases, medication. Optimally, the treatment plan is developed with the family, and whenever possible, the child. Talk to other families in your community or find a family network organization.

adolescents

Four out of five teens who attempt suicide give clear warnings. Look for: • Threats of suicide – either direct or indirect. • Verbal hints such as “I won’t be around much longer” or “It’s hopeless.” • Putting affairs in order (for example, giving or throwing away favorite possessions). • Sudden cheerfulness after a period of depression. • Hallucinations or bizarre thoughts.

What should parents and other adults do if they think a child is suicidal?

Ask the child or teen if he or she feels depressed or thinks about suicide or death. Speaking openly and honestly allows the child to confide in you and gives you a chance to express your concern. Listen to his or her thoughts and feelings in a caring and respectful manner. Let the child or teen know that you care and want to help. Supply the child or teen with local resources, such as a crisis hotline or the location of a mental health clinic. If the child or teen is a student, find out if there are any available mental health professionals at the school and let the child know about them. Seek professional help. It is essential to seek expert advice from a mental health professional that has experience helping depressed children and teens. Alert key adults in the child’s life – family, friends, and teachers. Inform the child’s parent or primary caregivers and recommend that they seek professional assistance for their child or teen. Trust your instincts. If you think the situation may be serious seek immediate help. If necessary, break a confidence in order save a life.

Depression and suicide in youth

What are the signs of suicide?

Left untreated, depression can lead some youth to take their own lives. Among 5- to 14-year-olds and 15 to 24-year-olds, suicide is the third-leading cause of death. Attempted suicides are even more common. By recognizing the signs of depression and suicide and seeking help for a young person, you can save a life.

Steve Payne, owner of This ‘n’ That Amish Outlet, on U.S. 29 outside Gainesville.

Warrenton store offers all things Amish By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Steve Payne laughingly admits his office is in his vehicle. On the road most of the time, fielding phone calls from various managers, Payne took time from his fairly frenetic schedule to talk about one of his businesses: This ‘n That Amish Outlet on Lee Highway in Warrenton. “It was supposed to be my retirement job,” he said with a slight raise of an eyebrow suggesting he well knew otherwise. For nearly 30 years, Payne has run Payne’s Parking Designs, Inc., with offices located in Bealeton. It’s a full-service striping and signage contractor that is pre-qualified and certified through the Virginia Department of Transportation for both traffic signage and pavement markings. It’s a gritty business that currently employs more than 100 workers and 70 trucks. Their coverage area includes nine states and Washington, D.C. But this business had its beginnings with a guy named Steve Payne

armed with experience from his father and other parking-maintenance professionals who set up shop in his garage with one truck, one employee and a vision of greater things to come. Payne’s Traffic Lines and Signs is another of his businesses focused on road safety and all the signs and equipment necessary to accomplish that. Dealing in many instances with municipal governments, his is a major supplier of everything to do with road readiness. Once again, the result of one man’s idea put into action. “To me, success is growth,” says Payne. “That’s how I measure it.” From gravel and cement, trucks and orange cones, Payne has shifted gears into what might be his favorite business child – selling Amish-made products. While tackling a new venture in his “retirement” years, Payne hasn’t deviated from his core principles. His focus has been, and will continue to be, on quality, customer service and building relationships. The beginning of Payne’s journey to all things Amish started some six years ago with a request coupled

with serendipity. “My wife Michelle wanted to raise chickens,” said Payne. “I’d heard about the craftsmen in Pennsylvania,” he added, noting his and his wife’s fondness for road trips. Once outside of Lancaster, they met an older Amish gentleman who sold them not only a chicken coop but a connection to a culture and a method of craftsmanship Payne found immediately intriguing. Not long after the chicken coop purchase, the Paynes were back in Pennsylvania, this time in search of a barn for Michelle’s goats. In 2012, the building on Lee Highway, formerly a real-estate office, became vacant. Payne had his eye on it but wasn’t sold on what to fill it with. But now, with a budding friendship with the Amish craftsman, a match was soon to be made. He would buy the building and sell this man’s products with the stipulation that the quality workmanship remain – no cutting back on quality. Agreed. When the store first opened, it

was called This ‘n That Outlet, because it carried a combination of Amish-built outdoor structures as well as government surplus items like office furniture. “But, within a year, I got rid of all the government surplus stuff and See AMISH, Page 24

Warrenton store offers all things Amish AMISH, from Page 23 changed the name to This ‘n That Amish Outlet,” said Payne. “The demand was there; the customers were only interested in Amish products.” Since 2012, Payne has expanded not only his business but his line of Amish-made goods. With locations in Leesburg and Winchester, and an eye on Fredericksburg, he now carries not only barns, garages and sheds but fanciful playhouses, pergolas, gazebos, outdoor furniture, elaborate play structures, dog kennels and, let’s not forget, chicken coops. Inside, you’ll find rockers, bookshelves, hutches, tables, bread boxes and hallstands. The list goes on. “We’ll warranty a shed for 15 years,” says Payne, “If the foundation is good. You’ve got to have a strong base.” Beyond selling the product, Payne insists that proper site work is done before delivery. He walks confidently throughout the maze of outdoor products filling the Warrenton location. With a range of sizes, colors, materials and styles, most of what you see stays on the lot. “We’re pretty much doing every-

thing custom-made,” said Payne. “And if you don’t see something specific, we can work up designs and build what you want…in one case, the customer wanted a building half shed and the other half for dog bathing.” Payne works with some 60 to 70 Amish craftsmen, and each is specialized. “One may do bedroom sets, another one sheds…it keeps them all busy and all experts with their particular line.” Currently, Payne employs between 15 and 16 people at his three locations. Payne believes in surrounding himself with good people, but he is demanding, holding them to the same standards he has for the suppliers of his product. “I have high expectations of our service level across the board,” Payne said. A self-starter, Payne does not begrudge his challenging childhood and credits it for his drive today. On his own at 14, he learned early the lessons of survival, determination, persistence and building relationships to build successful businesses. “I’m an adventurer…I’m aggressive…I’m a workaholic…I like to

Jessie Burns: from vet tech to ‘souper’ star By Susan McCorkindale

smccorkindale@fauquier.com

Eight years ago, Jessie Burns was working as a vet tech when her hours were cut. Worried about making ends meet, she confided her concerns to friends who encouraged her not just to embrace her passion for food, but to do something crazy with that passion. “They talked me into selling my soups Jessie Burns on the side of the road,” Burns said, laughing, “so I did. I loaded up my Crock-Pots, put a sign on the side of my car, and headed out one cold Saturday in March. I was shocked when people stopped, tried the soup, and loved it.” Within two weeks, Burns was selling soup at local farmers markets, and within three months she had officially launched Souped Up! and quit her regular job altogether. In 2013, Burns moved to Warrenton and started slinging her soup here, this time offering deliveries. Souped Up! makes two different soups each week using only locally sourced ingredients. Customers place orders online, and Souped Up! will either deliver or make the soups available for pick up at the Souped Up! kitchen in Warrenton or at Very Virginia in Leesburg.

Soups are sold by the quart for $12 and there is a two quart minimum for delivery. Please note: if you’re planning to pick up, you still need to place an order online and all orders – for pick up or delivery – must be placed by noon on Tuesdays. Deliveries for customers in Warrenton, Haymarket, Gainesville, Bristow and Culpepper are on Wednesdays.

Leesburg customers receive deliveries on Thursdays. “I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love,” said Burns. “It’s an honor to provide delicious and wholesome soups to people and help make mealtimes a little easier.” To order and for more information, call 719-229-3759 or visit SoupedUpVirginia.squarespace.com.

New agriculture commissioner for Virginia Gov. Ralph S. Northam has named Dr. Jewel Bronaugh Virginia’s 16th commissioner of agriculture. Bronaugh comes to the post from Virginia State University, where she served as executive director of VSU’s Center for Agriculture Research, Engagement and Outreach. Prior to that, she served as dean of VSU’s College of Agriculture. She also served as state ex-

ecutive director for the USDA Farm Service Agency. “We have had the privilege of working with Dr. Bronaugh in her role with VirginDr. Jewel ia State University Bronaugh and the Farm Service Agency, and we look forward to continuing our collabora-

tion with her as commissioner of agriculture,” remarked Wayne F. Pryor, president of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “Dr. Bronaugh brings a wealth of experience and we know she will serve agriculture well.” Dr. Bronaugh, a native of Petersburg, holds a bachelor’s degree in education from James Madison University, and a master’s in education

and a doctorate in career and technical education from Virginia Tech. “I’m delighted to welcome Dr. Bronaugh to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,” noted Bettina Ring, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry. “She brings an impressive skill set and an abundant network within the agriculture community in Virginia and the United States.”

Applications for Nitrate test: A tool for farmers to save money Purchase of Development Corn stalks will be popping out of the ground soon and so will an opportunity for Virginia Rights begin May 14 farmers to save money on their fertilizer bills. The Fauquier County Purchase of Development Rights Program is a voluntary program and is now open for a new application cycle beginning May 14 through Aug. 31. The system pays landowners in exchange for relinquishing the residential development potential of qualifying property to the county with the ownership and use of the property maintained by the landowner. Fauquier County leads in Virginia for farmland protected through PDR. Landowners whose properties qualify for the plan are compensated a flat fee of $25,000 per development right. The purpose of the program is to protect working farmland and retain the agricultural industry’s critical mass. To date, approximately 12,679 acres in Fauquier have been approved. For details contact: Fauquier County Agricultural Development 540-422-8280

The Virginia Tech Small Farms Nutrient Management program is here to offer free Pre-Sidedress Nitrate Tests to the farming community. The test is an in-season soil test that will help determine if corn needs additional fertilizer nitrogen. These tests are especially valuable on fields with a history of livestock manure applications or use of forage legumes in the crop rotation. A PSNT is usually taken when the height of the corn is between 10-15 inches or at least one week before sidedress. The samples are pulled from a depth of 12 inches using between 10-20 cores to run the analysis. Once a sample is pulled the results are available within 1-2 days. The results can be used by the farmer to determine what additional fertilizer nitrogen is needed for their corn crop.

With flair, Falcons roar to titles at home track meet By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Holland shines at Dogwood

Friday was a tale of two excellent Falcon performances in sweeping the annual Falcon Track Classic. The Falcon boys won their 10th consecutive crown and scored in 15 of 17 events to amass 126 points for a wide margin over runner-up Freedom at 91. Trailing with one event left, the Falcon girls had a much more dramatic route to their title. Millbrook led Fauquier, 85.5-85, as the teams went to the starting line for the final event, the 1,600-meter relay finale. A decisive win by the Falcon foursome of Meredyth Rankin, Hannah Holland, Kelsey Gastley and Elise Fernandez in 4:15.16 gave the hosts the team title, 95-93.5, and their sixth Classic crown in seven years. The Falcons defeated Millbrook’s entry by more than eight seconds. “The girl sprinters and distance runners held the fort down,” Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said. Brooke Point’s girls took third with 73.5 points, with Freedom of Woodbridge (69) and Culpeper (58) completing the top five. Kettle Run’s girls placed sixth at 51.5, and Liberty scored 24 points for the 10th spot. Liberty’s boys scored 39 points for eighth, with Kettle Run 10th at 26. County athletes combined to win six other events in the meet.

Liberty’s Ja’von White was first in the boys 400 by breaking his own school record. He finished in 49.71 to best his previous mark of 49.95. Teammate Sam Rodman claimed 1,600 gold in 4:33.42. Kettle Run’s Sofie Haugsdahl’s throw of 113 feet, 1 inch gave her the event title by more than four feet. She also was the shot put runner-up at 34-9. Fauquier scored well in all throwing events. Kayla Pavlock took the shot put by almost two feet at 37-7.5. The junior also grabbed the discus silver medal at 108-9. “Kayla had a really nice evening in getting that first and second,” Jones praised.

Fauquier’s Hannah Holland competed at the University of Virginia’s prestigious Dogwood Track Classic last Saturday in Charlottesville, where she took fourth out of 90 runners in the 800 meters. Competing in the second-fastest heat, Holland set a new personal record of 2:17.66, and won the heat. With 300 meters left, Holland made a strong move from the back of the pack to the front, opening up a one-second lead on the final turn. She held off her competitors in the home stretch to win her heat by more than a half second.

Falcon Amir Siders hit a state-qualifying throw of 49-8 to finish atop the shot put standings. Ben Scaring was second at 46-2. “That was a lot of points there,” Jones said of that duo and fourthplace Andre Thompson. “Amir having a real big night in the shot put really helped, and we scored in the discus too.” Falcons Nick Matthews, Josh Moylan, John Paccassi and Jeremy Halbrook combined to win the boys 3,200 relay in 8:22.71. Matthews later won the 800 in 1:58.16. Fauquier also won the girls 3,200 relay in 10:27.91 behind the efforts of Shelby Rosenberger, Holland, Gastley and Katelyn Argo. County silver medalists included Kettle Run’s Leah Morton (triple jump, 33-2), Logan Rapp (discus, 136-5) and Evan Torpy (pole vault, 10-6). Falcon Patrick Atwell was the 300 intermediate hurdles runner-up in 42.2. Ed Mangum of Liberty took third in the long jump at 20-5.5. Fauquier’s Tommy Cummins placed third in the 3,200 in 10:25.25. Other Falcon individual bronze medalists were Gastley (800, 2:28.64), Fernandez (400, 1:02.6) and Dakari Mullins (high jump, 5-10). Mullins also was on the thirdplace 400 relay quartet in 44.89. Bruce Boggs, Donte Grant and Darryl Mayfield completed that unit.

Special to the Times

The Class 4 Northwestern District boys and girls tennis tournaments start Friday with the playoff seeding still cloudy for several local squads. Fauquier’s girls appear to be the only local team guaranteed a quarterfinal home match. The Falcons are locked in as the No. 3 seed with an 8-3 district record and will host No. 6 James Wood or Kettle Run. No. 1 Handley is unbeaten in the league, followed by No. 2 Sherando. Liberty’s girls are locked into the No. 7 seed at 0-11 and will travel to Sherando Friday. On the boys side, Fauquier, Kettle Run and Sherando all had three wins coming into this week in the competition for the No. 4, 5 and 6 seeds. Unbeaten Handley has locked up the No. 1 seed, and Millbrook No. 2. Liberty did not field a team this spring. The semifinals are Monday at the higher remaining seeds and the finals May 16. The singles and doubles tournaments are May 17-18.

Falcon girls sweep rivals

Fauquier’s girls posted a 7-2 win at Liberty on April 30 before dispatching visiting Kettle Run 6-3. Several pivotal matches went the Falcons’ way vs. the Cougars. Kettle Run captured the No. 1 singles, 8-6, as Ryan Roeber bested Jennifer Adgate. Fauquier responded with wins at the next four spots. No. 2 Kiki Scott downed Molly Van Hook 8-2, No. 3 Evie Leary downed Caitlin Roy, 8-2, and No. 4 Sophie Bartholomaus edged Taylor Malloy, 8-6. No. 5 went to a tiebreaker before Falcon Melanie Turner pulled out a 9-8 (7-5) match. Faith Schaefer collected Kettle Run’s second singles point with her 8-6 win over Shelby Nesbit.

First place Falcons reverse boys soccer curse vs. Kettle Run

Late PK gives FHS historic first series win By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier Falcons beat Kettle Run on Friday by building from the back. From way back in 2009. The Cougars had never lost to Fauquier’s boys soccer team since their school opened 10 years ago, until last Friday, May 4, when the Falcons ended a winless streak of at least 21 consecutive matches by beating Kettle Run, 2-1, in Nokesville. Senior forward Daniel Duca scored Fauquier’s first goal midway through the second half, tying the score 1-1, and drew a foul in the 18-yard box to set up the winning penalty-kick goal by freshman forward David Cruz with less than five minutes remaining. “It just feels really special, like I’m honoring all of the [Fauquier teams] before us in this rivalry,” Duca said. “It’s almost like the Capitals-Penguins rivalry. Caps just cannot beat the Penguins no matter how good the Caps are, and that’s what I felt this [Fauquier-Kettle Run rivalry] was for years.” The Falcons and the Cougars tied 1-1 on April 10 to pave the way for

Fauquier’s first win this weekend. “It feels good,” fourth-year Falcons coach Juan Garcia said. “We knew we had the better team coming in. We’ve been on a roll all season.” Fauquier sits atop the Class 4 Northwestern District standings with a 5-1-2 record (7-2-3 overall), while the Cougars fell to 5-3-1 (7-3-1) Friday after winning state championships two of the past three seasons. “Coming into this game, we knew this was our time,” Duca said. “It’s ‘The Sizzle.’ That’s all I can say.” That’s been a buzz phrase the Falcons have used to describe their energy since 2016, and on Friday they got to say it for the first time following a victory over Kettle Run. “That’s the best feeling ever,” Cruz said. “It’s been a long time.” Cruz scored the winning goal with 4 minutes, 48 seconds remaining in the second half on a penalty kick by sending the ball slightly under the crossbar and out of the reach of Kettle Run goalkeeper John Otooni. “A lot of pressure,” Cruz said. “People saying in the back, ‘He’s going to blow it.’ I just [figuratively] covered my ears.”

Freshman David Cruz had the winning goal as Fauquier beat Kettle Run for the first time in county history last Friday. In a turn of events, the Falcons lead the Northwestern District at 5-1-2, with the Cougars in the mix at 5-3-1Cruz entered the night 3-for-3 on penalty kicks. In fact, his fourth conversion Friday made him the Falcons’ team-leader in goals this season. Prior to the goal, Duca drew the penalty by chasing down a long ball from Ivan Cruz in the center of the box. He controlled the ball amid a pair of Kettle Run defenders before falling to the ground as a foul was called on Jakob Wine. “Just pure effort,” Garcia said of Duca. “He knows that the only way we’re getting back into the game and finishing it off is if he’s the one … to get us going on offense.” “That was a game-winning penalty,” said Cruz. “I give a lot of [credit] to Daniel for putting all that work in for us to win. He put all the pressure” on Kettle Run. The Cougars, meanwhile, vociferously argued the called foul. “I thought our player got a lot of the ball,” Kettle Run coach Philip Roper said later. “But I’m not there [near the referee] so I can’t see it.” Kettle Run led 1-0 on a goal by John Hamilton, before Duca tied it 1-1 after causing some havoc. He dribbled up the middle of the field and took a shot from the edge of the box. A Kettle Run defender rejected it, but the ball bounced di-

rectly back into Duca’s body. He regained control and quickly dribbled through a pair of surprised defenders to score with a one-on-one shot against the Cougars’ keeper. “I’m small, but I’d like to say I’m pretty strong,” Duca said. “So I just kept charging through the ball as it bounced off me. … I just powered through.” Fauquier finished the second half with 10 shots after taking only three before halftime, many helped by Duca. “He’s like our version of a Russell Westbrook out there,” Garcia said, referencing the NBA player. “He was phenomenal. He’s going to put pressure on you out there the whole time … and force you into mistakes.” The Cougars, meanwhile, thought Duca scored the tying goal by controlling the ball illegally with his hand. Kettle Run also missed out on a possible penalty kick when Fauquier goalkeeper Marc Bonnaire and Kettle Run midfielder Justin Magill made contact in the left corner of the box, but no foul was called. “I thought we had a foul in the box. I asked the referee nicely how he fell down,” Roper said. “I disagreed on his view on that. But it’s hard to be a referee.”

‘We haven’t beat them in a long time’ Fauquier baseball ends drought vs. Kettle Run, 6-4 By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD

Blaze O’Saben and the Falcons stole five bases in beating Kettle Run 6-4 last Friday.

After watching powerful Kettle Run baseball teams dominate in 2016 and 2017, Fauquier is back on even terms with the Cougars this year. Fauquier posted its first win over Kettle Run since 2015 on Friday, coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the middle innings to win 6-4 in Nokesville. The Falcons (7-3 Class Northwestern District, 12-5 overall) ended a eight-game losing streak to their county rival and slipped in front of the Cougars (6-3, 10-5) in a tense Northwestern District race. Blaze O’Saben and Carson McCusker were the Falcon hitting stars, winning pitcher Lane Pearson threw 5 2/3 strong innings with 10 strikeouts, and McCusker earned the save by striking out three in the seventh. “It felt good. This is a huge win. We haven’t beat them in a long time. I can feel a lot of wins after this one,” said McCusker. “I thought it really showed the maturity of the team over the course of this year,” said Fau-

quier coach Matt O’Saben, whose team lost to Kettle Run earlier this year. Fauquier tied it 2-2 in the top of the fourth. O’Saben led off the fourth by smashing a double off off Joe Vogatsky, then stole third base. McCusker’s RBI single to center scored O’Saben. McCusker stole second and third before scoring on a passed ball to knot the game at 2-2. Pearson settled down in the fourth to overpower the Cougars. He allowed just four hits and two earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. “I just had to cut down on the early walks,” Pearson said. “That is probably going to be my focus in the next few bullpens. A couple times early I would walk runners. Those two runs were off of walks.” Pearson’s strikeout ability bailed him out of trouble several times. “He was able to keep them off balance. He showed a lot of toughness,” said coach O’Saben. Fauquier scored its eventual winning runs in the fifth. See BASEBALL, Page 32

Tense wins help FHS softball climb into first

No one said the road to first place would be easy. The Fauquier softball squad sits alone atop the Northwestern District after a 2-1 eight-inning win over visiting Sherando last Thursday and a 3-1 road win over Kettle Run on Friday. At 8-1, the Falcons have clawed past 7-2 James Wood to grab the league lead. “I’m confident we can play in low scoring games and have a chance. That was evident last night and tonight,” Fauquier coach Mark Ott. Fauquier struck first in the win over Sherando. Sophomore Lauren Davis laced a one-out double deep into the left center field corner in the third, then scored on a two-base throwing error on a Callaway Lee grounder. Sherando tied it at 1-1 in the fifth

In the eighth, Falcon freshman Emma Carter, the No. 7 hitter, led off the with a sharp double inside the third base bag. After a strikeout, Davis singled to left center to score Carter standing up for the walk-off win. “The bottom of the lineup comes through,” Ott said happily. “I try to instill in every kid that it’s not where you are batting in the lineup. It’s about what your job is when you are at the plate.” The Kettle Run-Fauquier game was scoreless through four, as Cougar Jordanna Shorts and Falcon Sarah

GOLD CUP STAYS HOME

Fauquier County-bred Zanclus posts powerful victory for owners Collette By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Nearly four decades after they started their small thoroughbred breeding operation, Casanova’s Sara and Bruce Collette have earned the biggest possible reward for a lifetime in the industry: victory in their hometown classic. A third-generation homebred, their 8-year-old Zanclus stormed to victory in the $100,000 timber stake Saturday at Great Meadow, shrugging off a rain-splashed four miles. In his first try at the distance, he survived 20 testing fences and relentless challenges lobbed throughout from five rivals to win the 93rd Virginia Gold Cup. “It’s special to win for the local ‘team’ like this,” said trainer Neil Morris, based out of historic Hickory Tree Farm south of Middleburg. “Sara and Bruce totally deserve this.”

Keying an all-Fauquier exacta, Mike Smith’s Le Chevalier (Jack Doyle up) was second for his Atoka-based owner and Upperville-based trainer Julie Gomena. Irv Naylor’s Super Saturday (Gerard Galligan) nine lengths back in third. Two-time race winner Ebanour (Darren Nagle) was fourth. Morning line second-choice, Zanclus went to post as strong 6-5 favorite. Ebanour was post-time second choice at 8-5. Le Chevalier paid 6-1, triggering a $45.30 exacta. Winning rider Kieran Norris said the chestnut’s high cruising speed was part of the winning formula. “He’s got a big, loose stride. He likes to cruise on the front end,” said Irish-born, Middleburg-based Norris. Zanclus had used that speed three weeks earlier crushing a quality field by more than 25 lengths at My Lady’s Manor. Darren Nagle had subbed for Norris at the Manor. Norris was rac-

ing at Tryon that day, but Norris was back aboard for Gold Cup. “I watched the tape from Manor,” said Norris, 2016 champion jockey and Zanclus’ rider in his first five timber victories, and three seconds. But the big question was how the local favorite would stack up against Irv Naylor’s Ebanour (Nagle), shooting for his third straight Gold Cup win. Norris had an answer from the start. When Graham Alcock dropped the flag, a nervous Hill Tie jumped to the lead, but Zanclus settled readily and assumed the lead after the first jump. They opened five lengths on the field as Norris worked to spread Zanclus’ natural speed over 32 furlongs. It wasn’t easy. “Every time we’d (pass) the south rail, the crowd would yell and cheer,” Norris said with a laugh. “(Zanclus) would take off, and I’d have to convince him to wait.” Ebanour made the first serious

move, drawing even with stablemate Super Saturday on the backstretch, but was unable to sustain the run. A half-mile out, Jack Doyle moved sharply on the outside with Mike Smith’s Le Chevalier. Norris said he could “see on the video monitors he wasn’t near me. Actually, I never heard anybody else in the whole race.” Le Chevalier drew within 4 lengths at the last, but Zanclus cruised to the wire, his finish time 8:43 4/5 on turf rated as good.

Zanclus’ back story

Zanclus is named for rare genus of fish commonly known as the Moorish idol, a nod to Sara Collette’s husband, Bruce, a marine zoologist. Their silks feature two jumping dolphins. Tribute to the Collettes’ small breeding operation, Zanclus is a third-generation homebred. They See GOLD CUP, Page 31

Kettle Run girls lacrosse team zeroes in on region title By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Kettle Run is closing in on the top seed for the Region B girls lacrosse tournament. The Cougars won their sixth straight game with a 15-9 win at Liberty on May 2 to improve to 5-0 in league play and 7-5 overall. Resurgent Brentsville provided a helping hand the next day by handing James Monroe its first Region B loss, 19-16. The Yellow Jackets fell to 3-1 with games against Liberty on Monday and first place Kettle Run on Wednesday. A win by either Fauquier County school guarantees Kettle Run the No. 1 seed. Against Liberty (2-2, 3-6), Kettle Run built a 5-2 lead nine minutes in on Julia Robertson’s score from a free position during an early surge. Liberty closed the gap to 5-4 with 11:14 remaining in the half, but a second Cougar onslaught tilted the

Kettle Run could clinch the No. 1 seed. game. The Cougars scored seven consecutive goals in the final eight minutes to open a 12-4 chasm. Jill Bennett, Grace Small and Robertson all scored twice before Liberty’s Kaila Lacey scored with 5.6 seconds to go before halftime for a 12-5 Cougar lead. Bennett has become an increasingly reliable scorer for the Cougars. She has been particularly adept on converting passes to the interior as she cuts to the goal.

“We practice a lot and always emphasize finding the open person,” Bennett said. “All the juniors have been wanting to step up. I think we are starting to realize we have the potential to be good.” Kettle Run coach Joanie DeGoosh said Bennett “has got a good eye. It’s fun to watch her play.” One source of concern early in the game came when senior scoring ace Mary O’Toole fell on her shoulder less and could not return. O’Toole recently passed 100 career goals and 200 total points. “I was a little nervous when Mary went out, but the girls stepped up,” said DeGoosh. “We’ve got other people who can shoot.” Liberty coach Kat Tines felt her team had lost momentum after playing only once in nearly two weeks due to weather and scheduling issues. She also lamented Kettle Run’s possession control.

“Possession killed us tonight. Loose balls and draw control did not go in our favor tonight, and that made a big difference,” said Tines, who saw her Eagles take a large number of penalties. Robertson said the winning streak has buoyed Kettle Run’s spirits following a rough start against Loudoun County powers. “We struggled a little bit,” Robertson said of the early losses. “This team is very good at lifting each other up. Our team dynamic is exquisite, and I am just so proud of us,” she said with a large smile. Robertson and Small both finished with five goals for the winners, with Bennett adding three. Sturges and O’Toole had one score each. Lacey and Jada Milton each scored three times for Liberty, now 2-2 in the league, 3-6 overall. Rachel Brown, Jordan Hadler and Jada Hord all contributed one.

It felt so good,” said Croson about her eventual winning run. Lamper finished with 15 strikeouts, and Shorts had eight.

We did not do a very good job of limiting the amount of time those guys were on base.” The very tight Northwestern District still has some important games left. “From what I’ve seen so far everybody is about even,” Thorpe said. “So we have to play clean and not make mistakes. Every night is going to be a dogfight.”

Take your mom to tea By Stella Veraduccia Afternoon tea purportedly began in the early 1800s because the Duchess of Bedford felt hungry in the afternoon, as supper was served very late among the aristocracy. She had a light snack and pot of tea brought to her rooms, and invited lady friends to join her. Soon othersfollowed suit, bringing the tea service into the drawing room where gentlemen could participate. Eventually the custom spread, and became a cherished British tradition. We in the rebellious colonies chose coffee as our national brew, but the custom of afternoon tea thrives here, too. Fortunately, we have many places in our region where one can have a proper cuppa. Each tea room here is a wonderful destination for Mother’s Day, but do call ahead for hours and reservations.

to grow here. These plants can create the same beautiful garden as non-native plants as well as the latest cultivar and hybrid plants often available in the garden centers and box stores today but they will be stronger and more resistant to damaging insects, disease and our hot summers. A garden of Piedmont native plants will provide an essential habitat for our native birds, insects and wildlife. It will offer food, host plants, shelter and nesting places for the beneficial insects and wildlife that these plants have co-evolved with for many, many years. A native plant sale will follow

the presentation. The program is free and open to the public, rain or shine. It is recommended to bring your own lawn chair.

Congratulations to each one. The awards will be made at the Leeds Ruritan meeting on June 20. Ina and Henry Ayres, our dear

neighbors in Orlean, recently enjoyed a nine-day cruise on the Rhine River. We are so glad that they were able to really have some fun. Henry works hard keeping the farm going and Ina is always busy with quilting and making delicious meals. Sorry! This column was inadvertently omitted from the paper last week. We are including a few of the items that were missed. We were fortunate to be able to attend the Hoover Ridge Sheepdog Trial in Madison on April 21 and 22.

attend, you missed some good fun. Our thanks to Judy and Wink Mason, Dawgwood Farm, Goldvein, and the Virginia Border Collie Association for making this event happen. The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department continues its efforts to raise the needed funds to complete the new station. One very good way to contribute is the Buy-A-Brick program. The purchase of a brick allows the donor to contribute to the building fund and, at the same time, remember or recognize a special individual or group in the community. One neighbor (“Go Gamecocks”) has issued a challenge to community members to purchase bricks in the name of their school. Will you add your college or group to this list? Go Wahoos, Hokies! For information, contact your writer or go to the OVFRD website. The Orlean Community Trail System had their big cleanup of part of Leeds Manor Road on April 22 (Earth Day). The 14 volunteers picked up 25 huge bags of trash and junk left by careless folks who discard all manner of disgusting items on our roads. Thanks, OCTS members, for making things look so much better! Thought for today: Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us; so be quick to love and be kind to all who cross our paths.

TICK ACTIVITY STARTS NOW There are many tick borne diseases that are transmitted by ticks. Ticks are a serious problem in the landscape, particularly in areas with high populations of deer. One of which is the black-legged “deer” tick transmits Lyme disease and peaks in May and June. These tiny ticks are most often found at the edges of woods and fields, although some may be present in garden beds, around shrubs, and along stone walls. Be particularly careful of areas where deer, mice, and chipmunks are active. Ticks are not usually found in lawns. Research has shown that ticks are best managed in landscapes with a program focusing on population reduction in the areas where you, your family and your pets spend the most time. Fencing to exclude deer or applications of deer repellents also are recommended. Bartlett Tree Experts employs the latest tick management techniques to control these disease-infected parasites on your property. Contract your local Bartlett Arborist representative today to find out more about the services we offer to help protect the valuable trees and shrubs on your property. Call me at 540-364-2401.

Support our troop events A fundraiser (donations gratefully accepted) sponsored by Fauquier County American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts will take place this Saturday, May 12, from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the Fauquier County Fairgrounds, 6208 Old Auburn Road, Warrenton. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to assist Fauquier veterans, who need financial assistance for wheelchairs, ramps, home adjustments for handicap needs, general home repairs and temporary utility payment assistance. Other future Fauquier County veteran events include Memorial Poppy Distribution on May 24 by the Remington American Legion and Hometown Hero Day on May 26 in Bealeton. There will also be specially priced restaurant offerings for veterans on Memorial Day, May 28. Details on these events will be in the next installments of this weekly column. The Remington Town Council will have a proposed fiscal 2018-19 town budget public hearing on Monday, May 14, beginning at 7 p.m. at the new Remington Town Hall, 105 East Main St., Remington. Proposed monies will be for the general town fund, the water rate fund, the DMV fund and the cemetery fund. Last Wednesday evening, Virginia Department of Transportation reps presented their traffic safety proposals for the intersection of U.S. 29 and Freemans Fords Road (Route 651) outside of Remington. VDOT’s main proposal is to create a restricted traffic crossing or R-cut and remove the current traffic signal at the intersection. The proposed R-cut would have restricted traffic crossing with U-turn alternatives. While the VDOT proposed construction is labelled for safety, the proposed effects would seem to permit greater traffic flow with no reduction in posted speed limits. If funding for the proposed project is approved, implementation would be in a “few” years down the road. It was voiced that the VDOT

THE LATEST NEWS FROM AND ABOUT THE FAUQUIER COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

This week in literature “I don’t think any word can explain a man’s life.” – Orson Welles,Citizen Kane

“Citizen Kane” premiered May 1, 1941 in New York’s Palace Theater. Orson Welles was the producer, co-screenwriter, director and star. It was his first feature film. “Citizen Kane” is the semi-biographical story of the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane, based on newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst, tycoons Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick and parts of Welles’s own life. The story is told through the eyes of a reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate’s dying word, “Rosebud.” Although it achieve critical success – including nine Academy Award nominations, and was recognized by both the British Film Institute, American Film Institute, National Film Preservation Board and is considered one of greatest films of all times – it did

not do well at the box office. “Citizen Kane” is part of the library’s extensive DVD collection, which includes film classics, titles from the Criterion Collection, National Film Registry, the American Film Institute (AFI), Academy Award winners, as well as a large selection of popular PBS shows such as Doc Martin, Downton Abbey, documentaries, and biographical films from the American Masters series. A large selection of DVD mysteries, with an emphasis on book-based series, can be found at the Warrenton central library. Stop by and browse, explore the collection online at www.fauquierlibrary.org or speak to a reference librarian. Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Warrenton central library
