Central Sports Complex will feature one artificial turf field By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A $300,000 grant from the PATH Foundation, a $300,000 donation from the Kurt and Dona Rodgers and $300,000 from Fauquier County will provide funding to make one of six rectangular fields at the Central Sports Complex an artificial turf surface rather than grass. A 115,000 square ft. turf field with infiltration trenches to collect water will be installed by Premier Sports Field LLC. S.W. Rodgers is the general contractor on the sports complex project. Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler, Lee District, didn’t vote on the resolution to fund the artificial turf field since he works for Rodgers. The other four supervisors approved the measure during their meeting on Oct. 10. The presence of asphalt trails bordering both sides of the playing surface prompted the change to a larger, artificial surface. The grass field as originally planned would have been 100,000 square ft. Instead of $346,675 for grass, the larger artificial turf field will cost $405,685, which includes $59,010 for the redesign by the Timmons Group. The Central Sports Complex is now under construction outside of Warrenton, adjacent to the county fairgrounds. Five diamond fields will also be part of the complex. Supervisor Chris Granger, Center District, said he was “ecstatic to have a public access turf field.” He noted there is one for students at Liberty High School in Bealeton. In other action, the supervisors approved a special exception to allow a tourist home to be called Silverback Ranch in the Fiery Run Agricultural and Forestal District at 14047 Hume Road in Hume. A maximum of 10 people will be allowed in the four-bedroom residence on the property at a time. There were no speakers during a public hearing that preceded the vote. A couple comments in writing expressed concern about expected noise, additional traffic and safety on the road.

Jordan wants ‘bipartisan’ criminal justice reform House candidate backs changes rejected by GOP By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

D.J. Jordan, one of only two African-American candidates for the Virginia House of Delegates running as a Republican this year, is backing a slate of criminal justice reforms long opposed by GOP delegates, including decriminalizing marijuana, restoring rights to felons and doubling the felony larceny threshold from $500 to $1,000. Jordan is vying to unseat Del. Elizabeth Guzman, a Democrat who defeated eight-term Republican incumbent Scott Lingamfelter in 2017. The

New trail behind M.M. Pierce Elementary welcomes walkers By Robin Earl

Times staff reporter

About 20 people gathered Monday morning near the trail head of the new walking/biking trail behind M.M. Pierce Elementary School. The 0.21-mile paved trail connects the elementary school with nearby neighborhoods and gives pedestrians an alternative to walking down U.S. 29 into Remington. It provides a bridge over Tinpot Run. Parks and Rec Board Chairman Don Johnson called it a “safe route to school trail.” He added that the small project was one of several that the county is working to connect into “one seamless system.” Johnson said that trails and greenways are a top priority for residents. Rzepecki said in an earlier interview, “we will install a sign for the schools; the part of the trail leaving the woods heading toward the playground will be closed to the public from 8 a.m. to 4p.m. when school is in session.”

Work on the Central Sports Complex is moving along. This is how it looked in early September. Parks and Rec Director Gary Rzepecki points to where one of the five diamond fields is being built.

Central Sports Complex will feature one artificial turf field SPORTS COMPLEX, from page 1 The approval granted by the supervisors stipulates that no additional guests beyond the limit of 10 can be on the premises without a special exception for small events. The property can only be rented to one party at a time. Single-room rentals and rentals to multiple parties at the same time are prohibited. No on-site food service is allowed. No all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes or utility vehicles are allowed. Fireworks are also barred. A caretaker is to be nearby when lodgers are present. The supervisors also approved increasing a part-time administrative associate position to a full-time development educator position with the cooperative extension office. The individual will provide leadership and manage the youth animal science program. The cost of the position is $67,733, partially offset by the Cooperative Extension Service. The cost to the county is $47,943 yearly. The supervisors also approved a change to allow the county administrator to make cash awards to employees who reach milestones from the fifth year of service to 35 at five-year increments. The cash awards would range from $50 in the fifth year to $350 at the 35-year mark and cost $17,028. Employees have been receiving service pins.

Planners reject resort proposal in Delaplane Sanctuary at Barrel Oak application goes to supervisors Nov. 14 By James Ivancic

The porposed Sanctuary at Barrel Oak would be located on Grove Lane in Delaplane.

Times Staff Writer

A proposal to create a lodge and events venue adjacent to Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane will go to the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors following a 3-2 vote recommending denial from the county planning commission. The planning commission’s split vote came Oct. 17 following a public hearing on requests by Barrel Oak owner Brian Roeder to expand his adjacent home into what he calls the Sanctuary at Barrel Oak -- a 42room lodge for guests, a restaurant for them and resort-type amenities. The planning commission’s vote followed a public hearing that drew 23 speakers; all but two were opposed to the plan. Speakers who argued for denial said that a lodge – with permission to hold a maximum of 78 events per year for up to 160 attendees -- was better suited within a service district, rather than two miles outside the one that encompasses Marshall. They also said the project was out of step with the rural area; would exacerbate noise and traffic already generated by Barrel Oak Winery and other wineries nearby and would impact groundwater. Speakers who were opposed included private residents as well as representatives of the Piedmont Environmental Council, Mosby Heritage Area Association, Citizens for Fauquier County and the Fauquier Countryside Preservation Group, which formed this year to oppose Roeder’s plan. Planning Commission member Bob Lee (Marshall District) said he found the reasons to recommend denial of the application compelling and he introduced the motion to do so. His motion was supported by Adrienne Garreau (Scott District) and Matthew Smith (Cedar Run District). Voting against Lee’s motion without explanation were Diane Roteman (Center District) and John Meadows, commission chairman and Lee District representative. Lee said he was heartened by the number of times speakers referred to the county’s rural lands chapter of the comprehensive plan, which he said is intended to preserve the county’s “natural and cultural heritage. Scale matters. There are certain things in the rural area that can exceed scale and destroy it,” Lee said. Lee said he then wanted to make “a strong motion recommending that the application in all respects be denied.” Smith explained after the meeting that he voted with Lee because he felt the project should be in a service district and wasn’t compatible with an area that was zoned rural agriculture.

COURTESY IMAGE

Roeder said after the meeting that he felt he got a fair hearing and that he appreciated the hard work of the county staff and the planning commission. He called the vote to recommend denial a “huge loss. I knew a lot of people didn’t agree with me.” He said he didn’t know if there was anything he could have done that would have made a difference. “Some of us have to take risks. I failed,” he said. Roeder noted the opposition he faced from the PEC, Citizens for Fauquier County, Mosby Association, Goose Creek Association and the Fauquier Countryside Preservation Group. “They’ve worked together before. They were there doing what they do,” Roeder said. Roeder said he was told that he has the option to drop the application, ask for a delay before it goes to the supervisors or let it proceed. “I still believe I have a strong proposal,” he said. “I don’t see any reason not to continue” by moving his application to the next level with the board of supervisors. The supervisors’ next regular meeting is Nov. 14. In order to realize his plan, Roeder needs two special exceptions to operate a resort and host events and two special exceptions to allow a below-ground sewage treatment facility and above-ground water storage and treatment facilities. The special exception requests provided motivation for most of the overflow audience to attend the Oct. 17 planning commission meeting, though other applications were on the agenda. Some of the audience watched the proceedings on monitors in two rooms nearby. During the hearing, Jeb Hannum, a member of the Fauquier Countryside Preservation Group, said the organization “is opposed to a hotel. It’s completely inconsistent with the county comprehensive plan. It threatens the preservation of rural areas of the county” by setting a precedent if allowed. Lori Keenan McGuinness, co-chairman of the Goose Creek Association, expressed concern about the effect of the project on water tributaries. She called the applica-

tion “incomplete” without a preliminary soil analysis for a septic system, a hydrogeologic study for water service and a traffic analysis. Mike Washer said he and his wife bought land south of Barrel Oak Winery in search of tranquility. He urged the planning commission not to be flexible on rules or otherwise Fauquier will look like areas of growing Loudoun County. “If you put it in the service district you will still get the jobs and tax revenue,” said Patricia Ewing of Rectortown. Kevin Ramundo of Upperville said that since 2017, there have been 14 accidents along a 1.5 mile stretch

of Grove Lane resulting in two fatalities and 12 injuries. He said alcohol was a factor in four of the accidents, based on information he said he found the state’s accident data base. Attorney David Konick, representing land owner George Thompson, said Roeder’s proposal was incompatible with the county’s service district and rural land use plans; that traffic from it would pose a threat to the public; that it will hurt property values, and leaves in question its impact on groundwater quality and quantity. Konick questioned how Roeder See BARREL OAK, page 8

Vint Hill barracks plan passes planning commission, heads to supervisors By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A proposal to convert former men’s and women’s barracks at the former Vint Hill Farms Station military base into residential housing passed a first hurdle when the Fauquier County Planning Commission on Oct. 17 unanimously supported a zoning text amendment needed for it to move forward. The measure now goes to the board of supervisors for a public hearing and vote. The applicant, Echelon Resources Inc., which has rehabilitated and repurposed other old structures, will need a rezoning and special exception and to file a site plan to convert the barracks into up to 200 oneand two-bedroom and studio apartments. The Vint Hill Lofts project is within a planned commercial industrial development district. Echelon will use a tax credit to write off a portion of the cost of rehabilitating the historic buildings. Vint Hill Farms Station served as an intelligence gathering communications station during World War II and its military use continued until 1997. Vint Hill is now home to residences, restaurants, an inn and other businesses. During the public hearing that preceded the planning commission’s vote, Vint Hill resident John Massie said that he supports the planned conversion of the barracks. He said it is a project that will help the local economy and provide needed housing. Tim Hoffman, president of the Vint Hill Homeowners Association, said three of four association board members favor the barracks conversion proposal.

The sprawling barracks complex is one step closer to rehabilitation. “I walk my dog past it. It’s been run down for 24 years,” Hoffman said, referring to the barracks site. “If we don’t allow Echelon, it will remain empty and derelict.” Hoffman said he didn’t think the additional residential units would increase traffic “beyond the old days” when the base was functioning. “And we have better roads” now, Hoffman said. “I’ve met with Edwin [Gaskin] and his team. I don’t think I’ve seen a better presentation. They will deliver a very needed housing type to Vint Hill,” said Ike Broaddus, co-owner of Old Bust Head brewery at Vint Hill and a former chairman and director of the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority. Gaskin is president of Echelon Resources. Echelon held four community meetings to explain the proposal earlier this year.

Adrienne Garreau, Scott District representative on the planning commission, said “I think this is potentially a win-win for Vint Hill.” She noted there are still many steps remaining before the project can proceed. “We are going to be very transparent” during the process, said Garreau. Vint Hill is in the Scott District. In other action affecting Vint Hill, the commission unanimously supported a special exception sought by Shawna J. Shaw, who wants to run a boutique with goods for the home and garden as well as gifts. She wants to use an unoccupied building at 7162 Lineweaver Road that was formerly a farm market. Shaw told the commission that she wouldn’t be making any changes to the building’s exterior. Shaw was the only speaker on the issue during the public hearing. Shaw’s application now goes to the board of supervisors. The commission also supported a special exception to allow 550 square ft. telecommunications building on land at or adjacent to 6398 Lee Highway. Under an agreement with Warrenton Church of Christ and a homeowner’s association, a solid wood privacy fence will be installed. The building will support a long-haul communications network that will not directly serve Fauquier County, according to the application. A fiber optics line will be in a Virginia Department of Transportation right of way on U.S. 29. The building will house amplification equipment for a long-haul fiber optics route running from Floyd to Dulles. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier. com

Signs will flash your speed moving through The Plains’ Main Street By James Ivancic Times Staff

The Plains Town Council decided Monday to spend up to $8,000 for two mobile radar speed signs in an effort to slow traffic moving through town. The signs will flash the speed of approaching vehicles. They will either be mounted on already existing speed limit signs or put on their own post. The speed limit is 25 mph within town limits. A speed sign will be at each end of Main Street (Va. 55) on the approaches to downtown. Since they are mobile, they can be detached from the pole and moved to another pole elsewhere. Hopewell Road is another spot where speed control is needed, according to council member Chris Malone. Malone and Zoning Administrator Steve Gyurisin were tasked by council to look into a more effective way of getting traffic to slow down. They reported their findings to council at its regular meeting Monday night. Council authorized the purchase of two radar signs. The money will come from the town’s reserve fund since the purchase isn’t in the current budget. Operational costs will be budgeted in the future. “This is a major issue. Rush-hour

folks from Prince William and Middleburg use the town as a cut-through to 66,” said Malone in explaining the problem. There is a three-way stop in the center of town where stop signs are posted, but there are long stretches of uninterrupted road getting to town from the east and west. “Hopewell Road has become a racetrack, too,” said Malone of the road that becomes Waterfall Road in Prince William County. Speeds have become a problem during the last two or three years, he said. Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office said that the town in the past has hired off-duty sheriff’s deputies to increase enforcement. How soon the radar speed signs will go up isn’t certain. “We’re going to shop around. This is a big step,” Malone said. The town could purchase the units from one of two companies that he and Gyurisin checked when researching what was available and at what cost. Council members showed interest in a solar-powered sign that stores the power drawn during the day so that it continues to operate at night. Battery-powered signs are another option.

Absentee voting deadline approaches Number of applications far exceeds 2015 totals By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The number of voters casting absentee ballots in advance of the Nov. 5 general election is far outpacing the November 2015 election. As of this Monday morning, 951 absentee ballot applications had been processed by the Fauquier County Office of the General Registrar compared to a total of 638 for the November 2015 election, General Registrar Alex Ables reported. There is still time to vote absentee. Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. is the deadline to mail in an absentee ballot. Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. is the deadline to vote absentee in person at the General Registrar’s office at 528 Waterloo Road, Suite 200. Ables sees this year’s surge as an indicator of what can be expected next year, a presidential election

year, when “no excuse” early voting goes into effect in Virginia. During a “no excuse” period, voters won’t have to give a reason – such as a work commitment or being away on Election Day – to vote early. “These figures support a very heavy turnout for the early no excuse absentee voting period once it’s rolled out for the November 2020 presidential election,” Ables said. Ables spoke to county supervisors recently about preparing for no-excuse voting. Currently, the general registrar’s office is the only place to vote absentee in person but Ables and the Fauquier board of elections it won’t be able to handle the volume of “no excuse” voters expected. One or more satellite sites of sufficient size, with parking and handicapped access, are believed needed.

Jordan wants ‘bipartisan’ criminal justice reform JUSTICE, from page 1 African-American Republicans have served in the Virginia General Assembly. While GOP support for changing such criminal justice policies has been meager, Jordan says if elected, he hopes to bring both sides together “around common-sense reforms that maintain public safety but provide opportunity for fairness and opportunity for redemption.” “I believe there's opportunity for bipartisan action,” Jordan said. “I can't say that I know exactly what will get each individual to move with me on this issue, but what I do know is, it helps to have all perspectives in the room when decisions on how to move will be made.” Guzman was less optimistic about Jordan’s ability to persuade members of his own party to back such reforms. "While my opponent is running on criminal justice reform, his campaign is being bankrolled by Republicans who have blocked any type of reform in Richmond,” Guzman said in an email. The majority of Jordan’s campaign cash – more than $200,000, according to Virginia Public Access Project – has come from Republican candidates and committees, including from members who have voted down the same reforms he supports.

Restoring felons’ rights

Jordan said he supports the “automatic” restoration of rights for those leaving prison, provided they complete the terms of their sentences. Virginia is one of 11 states that bar ex-offenders from voting unless they receive individual exemptions. “Once a Virginian has paid their debt to society and served their time, I think we should have an automatic process of their rights being restored as long as they complete the terms of their sentences, including parole or probation,” Jordan said in an email. Jordan added that many other states, such as Georgia, Florida and Louisiana, already have an automatic process. All three states have Republican-controlled state legislatures, and only Louisiana has a Democratic governor. In Virginia, only the governor has the power to restore voting and some civil rights to convicted felons, and efforts to change that by former gov-

ernor Terry McAuliffe (D), and more recently by members of the state legislature, have all been shot down by members of the GOP. The Virginia Constitution states: “No person who has been convicted of a felony shall be qualified to vote unless his civil rights have been restored by the governor or other appropriate authority.” An amendment to remove that passage, introduced by Sen. Mamie Locke, D-2nd, of Hampton, was killed in a Senate committee in January along party lines with all eight Republicans voting against it. Sen. Emmett Hanger, R-24th, of Augusta County, introduced a similar amendment earlier this year to automatically restore voting rights to felons who have completed their sentences and made restitution. The amendment was approved by the state Senate in January and sent to the House where it was killed along party lines in a majority Republican subcommittee. Before that, McAuliffe signed an executive order in 2016 to restore voting rights to 206,000 former felons. The state GOP sued to overturn the order, sending the case to the state Supreme Court which, in a 4-3 decision, ruled the governor can only restore voting rights on a case-by-case basis. McAuliffe individually restored rights to more than 150,000 Virginians previously convicted of a felony during his term. Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced earlier this month he had restored rights to 22,205 former felons since taking office in January 2018.

Raising the felony larceny threshold

Jordan also said he supports increasing the felony larceny threshold in Virginia from $500 to $1,000, a Democratic priority that has also received little support from House Republicans. The larceny threshold determines the value of stolen money or goods above which prosecutors can charge theft offenses as felonies. The state legislature raised the threshold from $200 to $500 in 2018 as part of a bipartisan compromise that led to the passage of Republican-sponsored victim restitution legislation to keep criminal defendants on probation until they’ve paid back their victims. House Republicans had blocked previous attempts to pass legislation raising the felony threshold.

“Virginia's threshold has not risen with inflation, so I think we should raise the threshold to $1,000, while ensuring that those who commit crime make full restitution to their victims as part of their rehabilitation,” Jordan said. Even at $500, Virginia has one of the lowest thresholds in the United States. By comparison, North Carolina’s felony threshold is $1,000. Maryland’s felony threshold is $1,500. Guzman was a co-sponsor of the bill to raise the felony threshold from $200 to $500 in 2018 and co-sponsored a bill to raise the threshold from $500 to $750 in 2019. That bill was killed by a majority-Republican House committee in February.

Decriminalizing marijuana

Jordan also said he supports decriminalizing marijuana in Virginia but not legalizing it for recreational use. Republicans killed three decriminalization bills in a House subcommittee in 2019 that would have made marijuana possession punishable with civil fines rather than criminal charges. “I have said publicly that I support medicinal use of marijuana. I also support the decriminalization of marijuana, but I do not support the legalization of recreational use of marijuana for adults,” Jordan said. Arrests for marijuana possession have spiked in recent years. In 2018, Virginia State Police reported about 29,000 such arrests, a 20-year high. A first-time conviction for possessing marijuana can carry a $500 fine and up to 30 days in jail under current Virginia law. Democrats have introduced bills to both legalize and decriminalize marijuana in recent years. Northam and state Attorney General Mark Herring (D) have called for the decriminalization of “simple possession” of marijuana. Northam said in his January “State of the Commonwealth” address that, “making simple possession a civil penalty will ease overcrowding in our jails and prisons, and free up our law enforcement and court resources for offenses that are a true threat to public safety.” A recent University of Mary Washington poll found that an increasing number of Virginians are in favor of legalizing marijuana for recreational use: 61 percent of more than 1,000 Virginians interviewed said they were in favor.

Dr. Levi Rizk, D.O., believes that the journey to health can sometimes be a slow journey. “We don’t always get there quickly,” he said. “But working on things together, developing a relationship with patients, brings a higher level of satisfaction.” Rizk is the medical director of Fauquier County’s Employee Wellness Center, a clinic that provides medical care -- at no charge -- to Fauquier County employees and retirees, including school division staff, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and Fauquier County Fire and Rescue. Marathon Health has been operating the clinic at 98 Alexandria Pike since April 2018. In August, the Wellness Center began accepting the families of Fauquier employees as well. “We have seen a lot of families already,” said Rizk. The Employee Wellness Center can treat children 6 years and older. Rizk and Betheny Schumacher, FNP-BC, are trained in family practice. The staff ordered kid-friendly medications and smaller patient gowns. “We love having them,” he said. Although the two medical professionals see patients with acute illnesses – respiratory infections, seizures, heart-related concerns – Rizk

said they also enjoy the opportunity for one-on-one health coaching. “We like to see ourselves as adjunct to patients’ family physicians. “There’s an art to meeting people where they are,” said Rizk. “We want to be more than clinicians; we want to make a difference in someone’s life. We have the luxury of being able to spend time with patients to talk about their concerns, to tease out what they already know and what they’d like to address, whether it’s weight loss, stress management, or finding the motivation to exercise and eat right.” Dan Phillips is school recruitment

Phillips tried a weight loss challenge the center was running in January and moved on to monthly one-oncoaching sessions with Rizk. After six months, the 47-year-old lost 45 pounds and was able to stop taking blood pressure medicine. “People who don’t see me all the time don’t recognize me. I was able to lose weight before, but I always gained it back.” See HEALTH, page 7

The number of health insurance claims Fauquier County employees have made between April 2018 – when the county’s Employee Wellness Center opened – and August 2019 was $307,000 below projections. For high-cost claims ($50,000 or above), the claims were $1.6 million less than expected. An analysis of the success of the Wellness Center was presented to the Board of Supervisors by Janelle Downes, Fauquier County Human Resources director, Pamela Bautista, Marathon Health senior account manager and Dr. Levi Rizk, physician at the Wellness Center, on Oct. 10. Although the number of visits to the center for labs, tests and ancillary care far exceeds visits for acute illnesses or coaching visits, coaching visits are becoming increasingly popular, according to the data. Coaching visits are highest for high-risk individuals or those who have already been diagnosed with an illness. By percentage, employees with fire and rescue, transportation, the sheriff’s office and social services are the most consistent visitors to the clinic. Out of 12 metrics designed to monitor how successful the clinic has been in improving health outcomes,

seven of the 12 were at or above expectations: • Reducing systolic blood pressure • Reducing diastolic blood pressure • Reducing triglycerides • Reducing body mass index • Having patients quit smoking for at least 90 days • Reducing hemoglobin A1C in diagnosed diabetics to less than 7.5 • Having diagnosed diabetics engage in healthy behaviors to manage their diabetics Results fell below targets in helping patients: • Reduce glucose by 15 percent or below the healthy threshold • Reduce cholesterol by 10 percent or below the healthy threshold • Reduce LDL cholesterol by 10 percent or below healthy threshold • Increase HDL cholesterol by 10 percent or to a healthy threshold • Having diagnosed asthmatics engage in behaviors to manage their asthma

In order to help reach even more ambitious targets next year, according to the presentation the Wellness Center plans to enhance schedules to ensure the highest level of access, offer mass screening events to increase participation in the wellness program and increase awareness of cancer screenings.

Poverty simulation opens window of understanding for teachers By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

C.M. Bradley Elementary School Principal Beth Banks and fellow Fauquier County Public Schools administrators took part in a poverty simulation exercise over the summer. Banksfound it important enough to bring it to her teachers last week. “It was a powerful experience,” she said. “It can be used to grow empathy. I think it’s valuable to place yourself in a position a lot of us have never been in.” Becky Sheffield Gartner, extension agent, family and consumer sciences with the Culpeper office of the Virginia Cooperative Extension, set up the program. She explained, “A poverty simulation is a guided experience that exposes participants to the realities of poverty, including challenges of navigating the complex world of government services and essential service providers. “During the simulation, participants assume the roles of up to 26 different families facing poverty. The task of each family is to provide basic necessities and shelter during four 15-minute ‘weeks,’ while balancing the requirements of various service providers with the realities of daily life. The workshop will allow participants to experience life in the state of poverty.” She added, “Many of our clients and audiences face poverty on a daily basis. The poverty simulation is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month.” Situations were slightly different for each of the 35 teachers taking part in the exercise. Rebecca

Yates, a Bradley third-grade teacher, portrayed the dad of a 15-year-old daughter. His wife was unemployed, and his father was getting by on disability. Fourth-grade teacher Joy Hall played Doris Duntley, a single mom with two kids. The son had a substance abuse problem and a pregnant girlfriend. Arlene Thorpe – who teaches music at Bradley -- played Diana Duntley, the 14-year-old daughter. And so on. Each participant was tasked with solving some problems and coming out of the exercise better than they went in. Recruited volunteers played members of the various agencies that might be able to provide help.

County’s employee health service is now accepting families at Wellness Center HEALTH, from page 6 Phillips can’t say enough about Rizk and the Wellness Center. “Dr. Rizk opened my eyes to a healthy lifestyle… We could easily relate and just talk to each other. He was never judgmental. He’d say, ‘This is my opinion. It’s up to you.’” Phillips said, “This is a phenomenal benefit for employees, and some people don’t know about it. When I’m out recruiting, it’s a great selling point.” Linda Hume, seventh grade English teacher at Warrenton Middle School describes nurse practitioner Betheny Schumacher as a “lifesaver.” Hume, 52, was in a car accident in June of 2017. “I was in a lot of pain and put on a lot of weight.” She went to the Employee Wellness Center for the first time in June of 2018. “Betheny was amazing,” she said. “She would listen to everything I said and would always have something positive for me to take away -- a recipe … or a new stretching exercise.” Hume saw Schumacher weekly for

eight months. She lost 17 pounds – the amount she gained after her accident -- and learned stretching exercises to reduce her pain. But, Hume said, Schumacher taught her more than healthy habits. “She taught me how to take care of myself. She taught me not to be so hard on myself.” Hume said she has referred other teachers to the clinic. “The service is so easy to use.” County employees can make appointments through the center’s website or with a phone call. Hume said that when she learned that families were welcome at the Wellness Center, she made an appointment for her college-bound daughter to get some tips about healthy eating while at school. “Whenever I needed her, Betheny was there. I feel blessed. I needed a Betheny in my life.” She added, “Teaching is hard. Teaching when you are not feeling well is really hard.” Rizk said that the Wellness Center has hired another nurse practitioner, who will begin at the Warrenton clinic on Oct. 21.

Planners reject resort proposal in Delaplane BARREL OAK, from page 3 could call his project a “resort,” though Roeder added to his original proposal a spa, greenhouse, walking trails and other amenities to serve lodge guests. “Putting a different name on it doesn’t change its use,” Konick said. “A hotel or motel isn’t allowed in an agricultural zone.” A memorandum Konick compiled and submitted to the planning commission asserts that Roeder’s estimate of water usage was “lowballed” at 11,000 gallons per day. “It appears to be based on a 60 percent occupancy rate and does not include categories of water use that are reasonably foreseeable such as

animal use and irrigation of the vineyard,” the memorandum states. Konick gave another estimate, claiming it was more plausible; it is based on a study commissioned by Thompson and other neighboring property owners. That estimate predicts the water consumption would range from 21,000 to more than 35,000 gallons per day. Robert Grouge, who said he’s worked at Barrel Oak for three and a half years, said “I work five or six days a week and I’ve yet to see an accident” going to and from work. He said he’s fielded five phone calls from people complaining about noise.

Mike Hammond is running for a seat on the Fauquier County School Board as the representative from Scott District. He will bring management experience desperately needed to help lead it out of a quagmire of malaise and indecision. That includes resolving the Taylor/Warrenton middle school project that the board has been debating since planning began in August 2015! Budgets have been proposed, re-whickered, voted on, rejected, re-visited. They are seemingly in an endless loop of “stuck.” The board decided last year to seek new proposals after months of failing to reach an agreement with the county board of supervisors for funding construction of a new school. We still don’t have a working plan. There are other issues that Mike wants to tackle; chief among them is to promote and resolve a very serious concern about teacher compensation and salary compression that has impacted our county’s teachers for years. We are losing great teachers because of poor pay. Fauquier spends $12,760 per student for education while our neighbors in Prince William spend $11,947 and Culpeper $11,235. Yet these counties are able to provide salaries that are high enough to draw our valued teachers away. He doesn’t advocate raising taxes to meet that challenge. He wants to fix a budget management problem with the resources given the board. Here’s the thing that worries me … some are trying to make this school board election political. Let’s keep politics out of this and vote on candidates who are well suited in our county to resolve our school

issues. Mike happens to lean with Democrats politically, but he votes on issues and polices that are best for our residents. He strongly supported and campaigned for Sheriff Bob Mosier, a Republican. I’m a Republican, but strongly support Mike for school board … he is the best candidate for the job. Let’s keep politics out of this election. Mike has a beautiful family that includes his wife and two schoolaged daughters. He launched his campaign in November of last year and has been outspoken on issues such as the middle school project, the Fauquier High School renovation overruns, and believes that our school board has not been a good steward of the tax money we send them. He’s been on the forefront on the issues and has been addressing his concerns with our local media for months. His campaign has knocked on doors of over 600 county homes (half by Mike himself), telling residents how he will be a force for change. I haven’t heard much from his two opponents, but they sure don’t seem to have the same fire-inthe-belly passion as Mike. He is eminently qualified to be your representative on the board. He is a certified systems engineer and critical thinker with over 20 years as a senior project management professional that includes management experience in banking. He’ll get the job done! Check out his website at: Vote4hammond.com. Please join me in supporting Mike Hammond for school board. Vote in the November election. PHIL KASKY Warrenton

Del. Michael Webert a champion for first responders, law enforcement, families On Sept. 24, 2018, I witnessed a near-tragedy here in the Town of Warrenton. Two vehicles passed a school bus with the red lights flashing and stop arm extended while children were boarding the bus. One driver, talking on her cellphone, didn’t even realize what she did until she had already passed the stopped bus. That morning I called Del. Michael Webert and expressed my frustration with this growing problem, not only here in our community, but also the commonwealth. He immediately began to make phone calls and started working on legislation to ensure harsher penalties on those that place our children in danger. Del. Webert has also been a strong advocate and partner in our

fight against the opioid epidemic in our region. During his time in office, he has championed legislation that will help our first responders and law enforcement officers eliminate barriers to communication, fought for funding for our town so that we can continue to battle this epidemic, and has been a fierce advocate for our firemen by co-sponsoring the cancer presumption legislation this past year. At the local level our residents our don’t care about red or blue, we care about results and representatives that stand up and fight for us! Del.

Proffer legislation leaves local governments holding the bag

Del. Michael Webert has been a strong supporter of public safety efforts

New residential development has a cost in terms of capital improvements (new schools, fire stations, libraries, etc.) and services (teachers, firefighters, software, etc). In much of Virginia, localities have historically offered developers the opportunity to mitigate the capital improvement costs by contributing “proffers” when they are requesting additional residential units beyond what is allowed by-right. Proffers, while not directly negotiated, usually are offered in response to a local government-prepared analysis of impacts, which determine the proportional contribution of funds needed for important capital improvements like schools. However, in 2016 the development industry lobbied the Virginia General Assembly to adopt legislation that hindered the ability of localities to mitigate impacts through proffers. Up until now, we have not seen many applicants attempt to seek approvals under the new legislation but earlier this year another amendment was made that may provide some localities with a false sense of security. The amendment did nothing to mitigate one of the primary concerns though, which is that localities will be left paying for needed capital improvements. The proffer amendments only allow a locality to collect proffers when the projected impact goes beyond the existing capacity of the infrastructure. The county cannot include past approvals that have not been built or the need to replace

From traffic safety, school safety to combating the opioid crisis, Del. Michael Webert has been supportive of law enforcement every step of the way.  In 2017, Delegate Webert worked hard to pass HB 1392. This bill allowed for select former law enforcement officers to carry firearms in our schools, giving them the ability to protect our children by working as armed School Security Officers. In 2019, he co-sponsored HB 2721, which allowed us to expand our recruitment efforts for SSOs to again help with school safety.  When it comes to the opioid crisis, Del. Webert has worked with us regarding requests for funding to ensure we have the resources we need. He's been an advocate for Fauquier County and worked

aging infrastructure when determining this existing capacity. So how could this play out in the real world? First, developers will likely avoid developing in districts that are at or over capacity. In districts with available capacity, numerous development proposals for increased density could be approved, going well beyond the existing capacity of the schools in that area. However, those developers will not contribute any funds to offset their developments. Imagine 20 seats are available at a school and five developers come in at once with separate proposals with 19 students projected to be added with each. None of them would trigger the capacity of the school. In other words, 19+19+19+19+19 = 19 in this world. Once the developments are built and the schools are beyond capacity and/or facing aging infrastructure issues, the county will be under significant public pressure to fix the problem. They will have no choice but to burden all taxpayers to do so. If another school is built and has available capacity, the cycle would start again. Until this problem is resolved, localities should be very careful in accepting any residential rezonings. Developers must be held accountable for providing their fair share of new infrastructure so local governments and taxpayers aren’t left holding the bag.

Del. Webert has problematic stance on ‘school choice’ vouchers for special education Del. (Michael) Webert (R-18th) professes to be a strong supporter of public schools and yet, in 2016, he co-sponsored legislation that provides special education vouchers for a “school choice” option for children with disabilities. There are several concerns with this program for Fauquier County residents. First, the voucher program would result in depleting the already underfunded special education program in our county. Second, federal law requires public schools to provide a broad range of programs and services to children with disabilities. No such mandate exists for private schools. Last but not least, there is no private school

in our area that can provide services and support equivalent to what our public schools offer. With 24 years of experience in Fauquier County Public Schools starting as a special education teacher and, later, as a school principal, I witnessed the challenges facing our students with special needs. I also have a profound personal experience in this area. My son was diagnosed with numerous learning disabilities as well as the need for speech and language services as a young child. Like every parent facing this situation, I was concerned about his future. Our public schools proved critical in helping my son reach his

highest potential. His experience exemplifies that of most special-needs students in our local public schools. Needless to say, I have tremendous respect for our Fauquier County special education professionals. Unlike his opponent, candidate Laura Galante, Mr. Webert has never attended public schools in Virginia. The fact that he would support a voucher system to reduce public school funding for private school enrichment should give voters pause. Does Mr. Webert believe that private schools provide a better education than public schools? If so, can he honestly purport to be a champion of our public schools, particularly in the special education area?

My wife and I are standing strong for our public school special education program and funding. Voters might think carefully about Mr. Webert’s track record on “school choice” vouchers for children with disabilities when casting their vote on Nov. 5. In our view Laura Galante is the better choice.  She was educated in Virginia public schools and ultimately, achieved success as a cybersecurity expert. She appreciates the value of a public school education and pledges to support Fauquier County Public Schools, including special education resources.

Her experience in government, the private sector, community service and rural economics are just the fit for District 18. As a cyber security and technology expert at high levels of government, including the Defense Department, she protected us against cyber-attacks by foreign powers and terrorists, and later established and managed her own security consulting firm. Laura serves on the board of the Virginia and National 4-H Congresses, and she established and leads a 4-H club in her hometown of Marshall. She lives on her own farm, where she, her husband and son raise sheep and poultry. I feel qualified to comment on her qualifications, as a retired U.S. Army colonel who served in combat units, on the staff of the chairman of the

service in the cyber arena taught her to plan and execute complex projects in coordination with other people and agencies. Running her own company, she appreciates the challenges of small business. Her community service and participation in local farming enhance her understanding of and compassion for the needs of a rural community and economy. She not only lives, works and farms in our community but is raising a family here. Laura will champion access to high-speed internet across the rural environment so students can do homework, there can be improvements to patient care, and small businesses can run more efficiently. Richmond has no comprehensive plan to improve rural internet access, not even a mapping of who has or needs what services. Laura will change that. Expanding technology services will help create new jobs, and ex-

ties, stopping our talent drain to the cities. Laura knows that improving education and training also requires better pay for our teachers, and will work for that. As a retiree, I especially appreciate her commitment to require insurance and health companies to be transparent so we can make informed health decisions, and to expand access to affordable, quality health care. She will overcome our divisive political environment to accomplish these goals in a bipartisan manner. Laura Galante has what it takes to achieve positive results for citizens of the 18th. She will tackle the challenges of growing our rural economy without ruining our rural environment and values and deserves the opportunity to show what she can do for us.

Laura Galante has the experience, education to serve in House Puzzling. Did Del. Michael Webert (R, Va.15th) ever serve on the school board or board of supervisors prior to running for delegate? No, said both my memory and subsequent internet search. I could find no trace of service from the time Mr. Webert came to Virginia 20 years ago as a young man. Yet in a letter to the editor (Oct. 16) a supporter of his argued that Laura Galante needed to put in her time in such offices to overcome inexperience. He even helpfully included a website where she

could learn about the legislative process, apparently believing that Ms. Galante (who received her law degree the same year that Mr. Webert received his bachelor’s in communications) would not yet have absorbed information about how laws were made. Now Mr. Webert cannot be held responsible for every act of male condescension of his supporters. He can however be held responsible for answering a question of whether he supported the Equal Rights Amendment by saying he’d have to think

about it. Really?  First, haven’t thought about it? Seems like only an inexperienced person would not have given that issue some thought. Second, does it take a lot of thought to support equal rights for women? I support Laura Galante on many issues from improving broadband access to equal rights for women, but also because she is thoughtful and has educated herself on the issues of concern to our district.

Del. Mike Webert brings Fauquier values to Richmond Del. Mike Webert has served our community well as a champion for Fauquier values in Richmond — where his voice drives legislation that’s important to our community. The political ads hitting our mailboxes unfairly attacking Mike’s character don’t describe the representative we all know. Mike cares deeply about making life better for families in our community. And he’s not afraid of hard work or standing up for what’s right, even when it isn’t easy. Mike and his family have deep roots in this community, so he un-

derstands his constituents and their families, careers and priorities better than anyone else on the ballot. Mike’s family values are second-to-none. If you’ve seen him with his darling sons or supportive wife for even a minute, you understand what I mean. Even when the General Assembly is in session and Mike is fighting for us in Richmond, he returns home in the evenings and leaves again before dawn to be there for his family. Early mornings, long days and compassionate tenacity

To the voting citizens of Fauquier County: I wanted to send this letter to the editor to endorse Angela Smith for commissioner of revenue. Angela served as the general manager of Fauquier Springs Country Club during the last years I served on their board of directors. Although Angela had been a successful business owner for many years, she was new to the country club environment. Part of my job was to work closely with her to see her progress as a GM. I experienced, first-hand, her outstanding business acumen, and the efficient and effective way she managed a staff of more than 80 employees. She was customer-oriented and ran all aspects of the club to best serve its members, while still transforming and expanding the club into a profitable business during her tenure. She displayed a vast understanding of numbers and budgets and provided thorough and comprehensive reports and guidance to the board of directors so that we could make the best decisions for the club. I have no doubt that Angela will run the commissioner of revenue’s office in the same competent and effective manner. She will work to understand and resolve the concerns and problems facing all the taxpayers in Fauquier County. I encourage you to vote for Angela Smith on Tuesday, Nov. 5 for Fauquier County commissioner of revenue.

are natural for a farmer like Mike. Mike’s defense of the Second Amendment and support for law enforcement keeps the citizens of Fauquier safe. He knows Fauquier values quality public education, small businesses’ prosperity and the prudent spending of our tax dollars. He has demonstrated his commitment to those principles during his last eight years representing us. These are just a few reasons why I’m voting for Mike on Nov. 5 and you should too.

Mary Leigh McDaniel has accomplished much in her first term as supervisor I have worked with Mary Leigh McDaniel over the last four years as we addressed school and budget issues that affected our respective boards. She has been a good partner who listens to constituents and is willing to address the needs of our schools while balancing this by respecting the need to keep taxes low. We have developed a strong working relationship over such challenging issues that include, but are not limited to, the renovation of the middle schools, teacher salaries and school safety. Our two boards have come to an agreement on how

to solve the middle school issue by increasing capacity at Cedar Lee (Middle School) and renovating one of the Warrenton schools. Other accomplishments include funding the establishment of a security presence at every county school, raising teacher salaries so they are at 92 percent of market rate and addressing salary compression to help retain our experienced teachers. Mary Leigh has had a successful first term as supervisor, with accomplishments including the new Orlean fire station, the Hume cell tower, passage of the Marshall Code, the new Baker well to

stabilize the Marshall water system, progress on the Marshall Main Street improvements and spearheading a group that raised $1.2 million to underground utilities, and the opening of the first public access to the Rappahannock River at the Riverside Preserve near Orlean. She and the other supervisors have also made progress on access to broadband, encouraging economic development and preserving our rural and agricultural lands. All this has been done as a result of working with constituents, board members and other stakeholders to build consensus.

During her second term, she plans to focus on completing the Marshall Main Street improvement project, working on long-term water solutions for Marshall, increasing broadband coverage and protecting our rural lands. I have a deep respect for all that Mary Leigh has been accomplishing and hope she can continue to build on these successes for the next four years. Please support her with your vote on Nov. 5.

LOVE down on the farm One of Virginia’s latest LOVEworks lives in Markham By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

What’s not to love when it comes to faith, family and farm? Longtime farmer Hank Green thinks that it is perfect to have LOVE added to the landscape at Hank’s Christmas Trees at Hartland Farm. The oversized LOVE artwork was unveiled on Sunday, Oct. 13, before a gathering of family and friends. Created as part of a state and local partnership to promote travel and tourism, the artwork is an extension of the iconic "Virginia is for Lovers" brand, which in 2019 is celebrating 50 years since its inception. The sign in Markham joins the ranks of LOVEwork creations throughout the commonwealth, now numbering more than 180 in towns and cities. "Virginia is for Lovers is about doing the things you love to do on vacation with the people you love most," said Rita McClenny, president and CEO of the Virginia Tourism Corporation. "The new LOVEwork at Hartland Farm and Hartland Orchard captures that idea perfectly

and gives you an authentic sense of place as it showcases the various crops available on the family farm. We are excited that Hartland will help us share the LOVE with travelers, helping them to discover for themselves why Virginia is for Lovers.” Each LOVE installation is a reflection of the community in which it stands, and the Hartland LOVEwork is no exception. “We received a $1,500 grant from Virginia Tourism to design and build the sign,” said Cheryll Green. “The sign is designed to convey to tourists and locals what goes on at Hartland. We have three family members operating different business that include Hartland Orchard, Hartland Farm and Green Truck Farm. Hartland Farm has a seasonal market, pick your own tomatoes, pumpkins, a Fall Festival Fun Field and Corn Maze and Christmas trees. Green Truck Farm grows many varieties of berries and vegetables. Hartland Orchard grows cherries, peaches and apples.” Fauquier County Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDan-

Jennifer Armstrong’s labor of love can be seen at Hartland Farm in Markham. iel visited the farm for the festivities and posted this on Facebook: “It was wonderful to attend the unveiling of the ‘LOVE’ sculpture today at Hartland Orchard and Farm with Henry Green and his family. The sign was designed and built by Jennifer Armstrong … The sculpture represents produce grown on the farm including berries, vegetables, pumpkins, fruit and evergreen trees.” Armstrong, a lifelong resident of Markham and friend of the farm, designed, painted and built the 7-foottall LOVEwork. She has been very involved in activities on the farm and understands their mission to provide an opportunity for people to obtain fresh fruit, vegetables and Christmas trees. This LOVEwork represents the seasons of this Virginia farm and some of its products.

Visitors to the Hartland LOVEwork are encouraged to take pictures with it and share them at www.facebook.com/VirginiaisforLovers and on Instagram and Twitter, using the hashtag #LOVEVA and #hartlandfarmandorchard. Tourism is an instant revenue generator for Virginia. In 2018, tourism generated $26 billion in revenue, supported 234,000 jobs and provided $1.8 billion in state and local taxes for the Commonwealth. A full list of LOVEworks can be found at Virginia.org/LOVE. “Please visit Hartland in Markham and enjoy the apples, baked goods, and the ‘fun field’ that includes many things for kids and families to enjoy,” said McDaniel.

Foothills Housing Network hosts workshop Staff Reports

New facility for Middleburg Humane Foundation opens

Ribbon cutting this Sunday, Oct. 27 Staff Reports The Middleburg Humane Foundation will celebrate the grand opening of its new facility to the public on Sunday, Oct. 27, from noon to 4 p.m. This is a free, family- and pet-friendly event that will include tours of the new facility, a pet costume contest, music, a food truck, face painting, a photo booth, a donation station and a pop-up thrift shop. A ribbon cutting will take place promptly at noon for the official opening which will be hosted by the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. MHF was founded in 1987 and receives no federal, state or county funding, relying entirely on the generosity of private donors and corporate sponsors and proceeds raised through its grooming salon and

resale boutique on Main Street in Marshall. The goal of the MHF is to provide a haven for abused, neglected and “at risk” animals, both large and small. At any given time, a dedicated group of staff and volunteers care for about 60 animals at the facility. In addition to the high number of cats and dogs, MHF provides care for horses and various other livestock. Most of these animals have come from cruel or neglectful situations; therefore, they require intensive daily behavioral and medical care. Visit the facility’s Amazon.com wish list to see items that would make the most of their new home. Contact Director of Development Katelyn Sapp at 540-364-3272 or Katelyn.Sapp@middleburghumane. com.

NAKAMURA KNOCKS OUT FALCONS Freshman’s two shootout goals lead Kettle Run over Fauquier in district field hockey semis By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Depending upon your allegiance, Monday’s game was a heart-stopping win or a heart-breaking defeat. Second-seeded Kettle Run ended No. 3 Fauquier’s field hockey season in a Northwestern District tournament semifinal that lasted more than two hours. The Cougars and Falcons fought through 60 minutes of scoreless regulation and 30 more in a pair of 7-versus-7 15-minute sudden-victory overtime periods. The deadlock sent the teams into two shootout sessions with Kettle Run prevailing 3-1 thanks to the heroics of freshman Kaitlyn Nakamura, who came up big in a pressure-packed situation. The Cougars (9-6) advanced to Thursday’s 6 p.m. championship game at No. 1 Liberty (16-0), which ousted No. 5 Culpeper 4-1 in the other semi. The two squads each scored once in the first shootout session to force a sudden victory shootout. Fauquier’s Lucy Arnold, the third Falcon attacker, made three moves before finding a hot inside the left post for a 1-0 count. Kettle Run countered immediately with a Kaitlyn Nakamura score. Both teams drew blanks on the next two tries. See NAKAMURA, page 20

No. 2 seed Kettle Run (9-6) has played two competitive matches with undefeated No. 1 Liberty (16-0), but lost both. The county rivals meet Thursday at 6 p.m. for the Northwestern District title in Bealeton. Each clinched a region berth with semifinal wins Monday.

Daymude-led Eagles overpower Culpeper 4-1, cruise into district final By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Liberty extended its school-record winning streak to 16 by capturing its field hockey semifinal, 4-1, over Culpeper. The victors took control very early, as Daphne Daymude translated a Gretchen Thomas pass

into the game’s first goal after less than less than three minutes. The Eagles made it 2-0 with 9:38 remaining in the half when the passing duo of Daymude and Thomas set up a Regan Keys score. Daymude struck again with 75 seconds left for a 3-0 advantage. Abby Keller tallied an assisted goal for the fi-

nal Eagle score four minutes into the second half. Culpeper’s lone score came with 16:28 to play courtesy of Sydney Bowyer. “We controlled most of the possession of the game, but they did have a few breaks into the circle,“ Liberty coach Katie Norman said. “We had many shots on goal but hit [them] wide.

Eagles stay hot, take district lead By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

Liberty’s HomeNEXT GAME coming theme was the Friday at Millbrook “Roaring Twenties.” (5-2), 7 p.m. So it was fitting that the Eagles produced vintage performances that would have made football greats Red Grange, Jim Thorpe and Ernie Nevers proud. Quarterback Dylan Bailey completed 17-of-34 passes for 236 yards and four touchdowns and ran for one as the Eagles (7-0) routed James Wood 5021 to remain undefeated and move into sole possession of first place in the Northwestern District. The Eagles built a 24-0 lead over the shellshocked Colonels (5-2) by scoring twice in the opening five minutes. “They gave us a five-man box and they are not a heavy-blitz team, so we just took advantage of it,” said coach Travis Buzzo. “We kept it simple early on.” Handley’s overtime loss to Sherando has the Eagles in control of their own destiny with remaining games against Millbrook, Handley and Fauquier. The Eagles lead the district at 4-0, followed by Handley (3-1), Millbrook (3-1), Fauquier (2-2), Sherando (2-2) and James Wood (2-2). A week after posting a vital road win at Sheran-

do, the Eagles scored three unanswered touchdowns in the opening 15 minutes behind an offensive line that has become more dominant. “We have been wanting to start out fast but haven’t really been able to do so,” Bailey said. “It felt really good. It was our homecoming so we were all hyped up. We just came out and had fun.” Two minutes into the game Bailey hit his favorite target, Tre’Von White, for a 40-yard touchdown to cap off a six-play, 75-yard opening drive. Justin Lawson rushed in for the two-point conversion to give Liberty an 8-0 lead. “I was supposed to just have a short slant, but I saw the pocket collapse so I turned and ran,” White said. “Dylan and I have that connection now where he knows where I’m going.” Moments later, senior running back Markkel Newman added a 5-yard TD run. Early in the second quarter Bailey had a 7-yard TD run and the Eagles added a third straight two-point conversion for a 24-0 bulge. Gay rushed eight times for 112 yards with several big runs called back on penalties. The Liberty defense, meanwhile, did not allow James Wood to convert a first down until only 8:09 remained in the second quarter. “Defensively we have always played really fast and hustled to the ball,” Buzzo said. “That was a strong point last year, too.”

IT’S GO TIME

Fight to the finish expected at district cross country championships By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The cross country postseason is going to be revealing. All three local schools ran in the Third Battle Invitational at the Kernstown Battlefield near Winchester along with more than three dozen others. Now the focus turns to the Oct. 29 Northwestern District championship meet at Central High School in Woodstock. “This is like the old Northwestern District when there were a bunch of good teams,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones, referencing when Fauquier was in Group AAA for a time. “There’s no bones about it. You mess up even little bit, and you’re not going to the regional meet. We could finish top four or as low as sixth,” he said. The top four teams in each division automatically advance to the Region C championship meet, as will the top 15 finishers not on one of the qualifying teams. Millbrook and James Wood appear strong on both sides, with Sherando’s boys also enjoying strong season. The wild card in the boys race might be Handley. “We don’t know very much about them,” Jones admitted, also noting Liberty and Kettle Run boys were close behind the Falcons Saturday. “The main thing is staying healthy. So many people are getting sick,” Jones said. “[On the boys side], we haven’t had one race all season where we all the boys together.” Jones of illness or conflicts. James Wood and Millbrook appear to be the

pre-race favorites on the girls side. The league will conduct separate boys and girls championships for the seven Class 3 members and eight Class 4 schools.

Rodman tops county harriers

In the final major meet before districts, Liberty junior Sam Rodman recorded the top local individual effort the day at Third Battle. He finished 12th out of 266 entries in 16:06.4. Liberty was 31st of 39 scoring teams with 765 points. Connor Rodgers (152nd, 17:44), Owen Rodgers (155th, 17:46), Matthew Anderson (222nd,18:34) ad Micah Carrol (232nd, 18:49) were other Eagle scorers. West Springfield cruised to the easy win at 86 points. Fauquier’s girls had the best team finish at 16th of 34 schools with 438 points. Loudoun Valley cruised to the title with 114 points to 129 for Lake Braddock. Falcon Abby Gray was the top county girl finisher at 28th of 227 runners in 19:31.7. Completing the top five Falcons were Eva Del Gallo (75th, 20:22), Shelby Rosenberger (112nd, 20:55), Annie Del Gallo (113th, 20:56), Lynsey Patterson (125th, 21:03). Fauquier’s boys took 29th of the 39 teams with 720 points. Brian Bolles was 27th of 266 runners in 16:28.6. Other scorers were Kyle St. Clair (122nd, 17:29), Stephen Hines (189th, 18:07), Jonas Reutezel (191st, 18:12) and Peter Paccassi (200th, 18:16). The Kettle Run boys were 34th with 900 points. Parker Seville (133rd, 17:38), Ethan Martin (157th, 17:48), Andrew McGonegal (187th, 1:06),

Culpeper “That’s after a KETTLE RUN 0-7 0-4 win, so the mindset is changing. We’re happy about that," he said. Culpeper noticed it too. "Fauquier, they are tough kids. They are simply tough," said Culpeper acting coach Brandon Utz. "That’s what making Fauquier’s program. They are bought into their culture and their culture is being tough." Helped by Ky’lil Kiawu, who ran 12 times for 69 yards and two touchdowns, and Nick Shadyac, who ran 13 times for 62 yards and a TD, Fauquier won its 13th in a row over Culpeper since 2005 and moved to 4-3 for the first time since 2015, when they finished 5-5. But there was some angst for Falcon players and some postgame self-analysis as their 21-0 halftime lead turned into a fight for survival. “The best thing we got out of it tonight is our kids are mad. They’re generally upset and we won, and that’s a good thing,” Buckwalter said. The Falcons are at a major crossroads. Glory is possible if they can do something improbable and win their last three games against James Wood (5-

Falcons hoping for postseason magic Volleyball season enters final week, district quarters Monday By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

It was Senior Night in Bealeton and the Eagles played well at the outset. But Liberty’s hard-fought effort to get a rare volleyball win over Fauquier failed despite a strong first set as the Falcons prevailed 25-23, 25-18, 25-17. Fauquier (7-13) raised its Northwestern District record to 5-7. Liberty fell to 6-12 and 1-11. The game was a late season tuneup for the district tournament, which opens Monday with four quarterfinal games. The Falcons are defending regular season and tourney champions and made the state tournament last fall. But expectations are different for this postseason. Inconsistency has dropped Fauquier to the middle of the pack. “By this time, you already know what you’re going to be,” Fauquier coach Diana Story said philosophically. “There’s no magic wand you can wave and say, ‘Today we’re going to be this team and tomorrow be that team.’” Liberty’s adrenalin was evident early in the opening set, as the hosts pulled into a 9-6 lead on a threepoint service by Eagle Christina Sloan. Liberty also benefited from a pair of Megan Schram kills and a kill and a block from Tiffany Shull.

Liberty still held a slim 14-13 edge when Fauquier setter Dani Lawhorn went to the service line and used a Laney Weyman block and a hitting error for a 15-15 tie. The set also was deadlocked at 16-16, 17-17, 18-18 and 19-19 when an Eagle hitting error gave Fauquier its first lead since 1-0. Backed by a Skyler Furr solo block, Falcon Emma Carter served the next four points for a 24-20 margin, but Liberty fought back. Shull produced two points, the second courtesy of a combined block from Lenea Crockett and Kendall Paige Turner, forcing Story to call time out. Shull narrowed Liberty’s gap to 24-23, but a net violation gave Fauquier the 25-23 win. Liberty’s earlier energy seemed sapped in the second as the Falcons bolting to a quick 10-4 advantage. Kate Wilvert and Lawhorn both recorded five service points as their team pulled away. Tied at 9-9 in the third set, Fauquier used back-to-back four-point services by Keyaira Jasper and Carter en route to an 18-12 bulge. The Falcons won the freshman and junior varsity matches. The three Fauquier teams conclude the regular season Thursday at Kettle Run.

Warrenton’s one close game was a 6-5 win over Cedar Lee, secured on a game-ending catch by dynamic leadoff hitter Alexah Gordon who led the Warriors with 21 runs scored. “Alexah was one of our leaders. She always got on base and made some amazing catches,” Helkowski said. Other standouts were pitcher Savannah Smith and slugging catcher April Belcher.

“Savannah did a tremendous job, and April hardly let any ball get past her all season. I don’t think any player even tried to steal a base on her. Her arm was by far the best in the county,” Helkowski said. “All 12 of our eighth graders contributed to our success. One player who’s only in sixth grade but is a fantastic player who all the girls love is Lydia ‘Bitty’ Lovell. She played right field making amazing catches,” Helkowski said.

Nakamura’s swings knock out Fauquier NAKAMURA, page 15 In the second shootout, neither team scored on first tries. Nakamura repeated her first-round success to lead off the second pairing for the eventual game-winner. Nakamura, a freshman, began the season as a junior varsity player before being elevated to the varsity. It’s unlikely she’ll ever play a JV game again. “I thought it would be good to get the [early] playing time,” coach Beth Todd said. “She got more confident with the

ball. She’s a wonderful stick handler.” Paige Proctor later scored as the fourth Cougar to raise the advantage to 3-1. When Alyssa Space, a Cougar senior and the first-team all-district goalie, made a save on the next Falcon, the Kettle Run celebration commenced. “She’s unflappable and stays so calm,” Todd said of her veteran goalie. “She’s the first-team all-district goalie. She lived up to that honor.” Afterward, Falcon coach Brooke Settle told her players to ‘Hold your heads up high’ after the draining effort came up short. “This is the best way they could have gone out. They worked hard,” Settle added later. “Unfortunately, we fell short in the one vs. one.” Fauquier ended with a 6-10 record.

Most of the first-half action was played between the two 25-yard lines. Fauquier had a distinct advantage in time of possession, yet Kettle Run had the only two potent scoring threats. The first came 10 minutes in on a Jessica Wood drive from the right side that Falcon goalie Erin Irvin turned away. The second was a penalty corner at the two-minute mark, when a Cougar deflected a pass from the left top of the circle to the front of cage. The redirection went wide right. In the opening minute of the second half, Kettle Run had a shot off a corner. Fauquier then gathered momentum for 0 minutes before the Cougars recorded three corners in the final 12 minutes of regulation.

CROSS COUNTRY, from page 16 Liberty’s youthful girls unit ran in the junior varsity underclass race and placed 15th of 29th scoring teams with 405 points. Loudoun Valley scorched the field with mere 30 points. Maya Turner (21st of 301 runners, 21:31), Kayla Lopez (44th, 22:18), Natalie Taylor (58th, 22:38), Sage Laine (170th, 25:14), Aubrey Schwier(205th, 26:2) were the fastest Eagles. Fauquier’s Mikhaela Ulewicz was 12th of 198 runners in JV upperclass division in 21:25. Morgan Strickland also was in the top 20 (16th, 21:45). In the JV underclass race, Lily Finkbeiner was 15th in 21:18.

Who says cavalry is a lost art? Lances raised at test run for international championships in Front Royal By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

International cavalry competitors around the world are prepping for the International Cavalry and Artillery Championship scheduled next April at the old U.S. Army Remount Depot in Front Royal. This weekend, event hosts were prepping, too. The local Eastern Seaboard Cavalry Association is hosting the April 22-26, 2020 event in conjunction with the International Cavalry Association. Last Sunday, a dozen horses and riders, including local reenactors, a few active military and several area foxhunters, took part in drills with pistols, swords and lances to introduce their horses to sights and sounds that are unusual to modern day, civilian horses. It was a symbiotic exercise, said international liaison officer Maj. Stanley Watts as championship organizers saw how the four-day competition will work, where they can place show arenas and practice areas. Meanwhile, horses and riders became familiar with routines. “We wanted a chance to set up the Skills At Arms course in the actual venue,” explained Watts, president of the International Cavalry Association. Watts was visiting Virginia from his home base in England to organize Sunday’s prep. “There are logistic hurdles to clear, but chief among them was seeing horses and riders at work in the arenas we’ll have available,” he said. This was an open practice day for local horses being considered for the competition, Watts noted. “These aren’t typical questions asked of today’s horses.” International teams coming for the championship will rely on borrowed mounts, so the practice day was critical to identify which skills need to be worked on this winter. Watts said it went well. “Keeping a straight course at the gallop is key,” added Sgt. Paul Kruhlak, who trains the Canadian cavalry. He was here to help with live-fire on pistol targets, teach maneuvers like “cavalry right” and “infantry left” with straight swords, and demonstrate tricky - and dangerous tent-pegging with a sharp lance. Powhatan-based foxhunter Sheila Quinn DeHart enjoyed the training. “I’ve never actually galloped down the arena stabbing at a wooden tent peg with a 10-foot lance. It really never crossed my mind to try that in real life,” she said. “A year ago, I started riding again, on my 60th birthday, after 30plus years out of the tack, and look at me now,” DeHart said. “I went from

You never know how a horse will handle it ‘til you try it.” Active duty in the Marine Corps, Lt. Col. Christopher Bopp agreed. “My horse was great,” he said. “Now we know what to work on this winter.” The championship is a team event. In addition to U.S. competitors, squads are expected from Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Australia, Austria, India, Russia, France, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine.

Cavalry tidbits

The Front Royal Remount Quartermaster Depot is located two miles south of town, next to the U.S. Border Patrol dog training center. The facility is now part of the 4-H Center. The depot was acquired by the government in 1911 for breeding and producing cavalry and artillery horses and mules. Front Royal was part of a nationwide remount system that included Fort Robinson in Nebraska, Fort Keogh in Montana, Fort Sam Houston in Texas, Fort Reno and Fort Sill in Oklahoma, Pomona in California and Camp Plauche in Louisiana. The last horse-mounted cavalry charge by a U.S. Cavalry unit took place on the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines when the 26th Cavalry Regiment attacked Japanese Army

Horse-mounted cavalry disbanded after World War II and was absorbed into the armored branch in 1950, now called Armored Cavalry. Vietnam saw the introduction of helicopters, designated Air Cav. Today, the 1st Cavalry Division is the only active division with a cavalry designation. The division maintains a detachment of horse-mounted cavalry at Fort Hood, Texas for ceremonial purposes. Horses have not fully disappeared from the military. U.S. Army Special Forces used horses in battle during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan. Caisson horses are kept for funerals and parades with the 3rd Infantry Regiment – the Old Guard – at Fort Myer just outside D.C.

Soldiering through: Men on the front lines of caregiving

When my firstborn was barely 2 years old, she and her best friend, a little boy named Willoughby (really), spent the afternoon playing with an assortment of stuffed toys. While Willoughby practiced drop-kicking the animals against the wall, Jessica sat diapering them. When I fed the two children peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, Jessica nibbled hers into a rainbow; Willoughby manufactured his into a gun.  Assertions of my feminist friends notwithstanding, as the mother of girls I firmly believe it is the easy province of a woman to care for the weak, the sick, the young and the aged. And be it nurture or nature, I think these tasks come harder to men. Thus, I have unqualified respect and

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON admiration for what seems to me to be an increasing number of adult sons serving as primary caregivers for aged and infirm parents.  Earlier this week, I spoke with two men, one a prospering real estate broker who on weekends travels 200 miles each way to help with his mother’s care. I then spoke with an aging adult son serving as primary caregiv-

er for his advanced elderly father. Not many days earlier an elder law attorney called me in reference to a client trying valiantly to honor his mother’s wish to age in place, despite her degenerative condition. I took another call. An unspoken universe of sacrifice implicit in the son’s one statement hit home in a way he could scarcely imagine: “My concept of normality has gone to pot,” he said simply.  Nothing more need be said, my friend. Well am I aware of what you have forgone to care for your mother. And well I know how meager is the support for a man serving on the front lines in this role as primary caregiver.  Residential managed care has an indispensable function in today’s

world. Professional in-home caregivers are invaluable, and hospice a godsend. But rarely are any of these the full solution to aging parents’ needs. It is appropriate that family cares for family – and there simply is no substitute for family.  So, men – those of you who diaper and dress and swab and shower an aging parent, who mop and launder and scour and scrub until late into the night, you are an example to all of us privileged to know you.  Laurie MacNaughton [NMLS 506562], President’s Club, is a freelance writer and reverse mortgage consultant with Atlantic Coast Mortgage.

Kaleb, a student at Kettle Run, is currently battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia for the third time. He was originally diagnosed at age 6 and went through two and a half years of treatment. He relapsed at age 9 and went through treatment again. Eleven months after Kaleb finished treatment, his younger brother Noah was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. Several in the community have come forward to help organize various benefits for the Leigh family who need help financing ongoing medical expenses. A fundraiser was held recently at Kettle Run High School coinciding with a varsity football game on Oct. 4. The community was very generous and more than $5,000 was raised. “These brothers are truly amazing,” says Kristy Schneider, who is organizing an all-day event on Nov. 2, again at Kettle Run High School, 7403 Academic Ave., Nokesville. “Our event will have live music, a bounce house room, many vendors for holiday shopping, tons of yummy food, performances from local choirs and a

visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus,” added Schneider, who is optimistic that the community will continue to rally around the Leigh family and their ongoing challenges. This event will be held Saturday, Nov. 2, at Kettle Run High school from noon to 7 p.m. Adults $20 in advance, $30 at the door and $10 for children. Contact Kristy Schneider at 608347-0598.

PHOTO ABOVE BY DOUGLAS LEES: Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic, center above, has made a successful swap to timber, winning the stake at Genesee Valley Oct. 12. RIGHT: Morning-line Gold Cup favorite Andi’amu wears a signature titanium hood designed, trainer Leslie Young says, to keep him focused on winning. It’s working: he’s won five in a row, and hopes to up it to six on Sunday.

Super-six

Elite field entered for Saturday’s $75k feature Can Andi’amu hold onto perfect timber record? The big question at Saturday’s International Gold Cup will be: Can he do it? Ballybristol’s fleet French-bred Andi’amu is looking for a rarity in steeplechasing – six victories in a row. Trainer Leslie Young and owners Tom and Roxanne Collins hope it’ll happen. “He’s a wonderful, talented horse,” said the Pennsylvania-based Young of the bay 9-year-old stable star. “The real deal.” Andi’amu has tallied five, so far, over timber, starting the tear winning the Alfred Hunt cross-country ‘chase last April at Glenwood

Jack Doyle, here celebrating victory at Foxfield, has the call on Gold Cup favorite Andi’amu and Ferguson favorite Zanjabeel.

Park. National Steeplechase Association secretary Peter McGivney explained that cross-country ’chases are counted as “timber” in a horse’s records, so though it included hurdles and a variety of other obstacles, the Hunt counted as Andi’amu’s first timber win. He followed up winning the cross-country Steeplethon last May at Virginia Gold Cup for win no. 2. His April 20, 2019 Middleburg Hunt Cup timber stakes win ran the record to three, and the May 4 romp in the Virginia Gold Cup – four miles over the same Great Meadow timber course as Saturday’s 3 1/2-mile International Gold Cup – moved Andi’amu’s unbeaten streak to four. Andi’amu won his fifth, the National Sporting Library Cup timber stake two weeks ago at Glenwood as his fall opener. The win sets him up, Young said, for a maximum effort at Great Meadow. “He’s the coolest horse,” she said. “Andi deserves this kind of recognition.” Headline feature for the 36th running of the event at Great Meadow, the Gold Cup is carded sixth of seven races. Standing between the morning-line, odds-on favorite and his sixth-straight victory include: • Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic was a grade 2 winner over hurdles at Great Meadow before making a highly successful transition to timber racing. He won the Genesee Valley Hunt Cup on Oct. 12. Schoodic, managed by the owner’s son, and current leading trainer, Jack Fisher, sustained the first defeat of his timber career in Shawan Downs’ Legacy Chase on Sept. 28. Over hurdles, he won the 2017 Semmes handicap on the Virginia Gold Cup card. • Irv Naylor’s Super Saturday was second to Andi’amu at Virginia Fall and third to him in the Virginia Gold Cup. Super Saturday is trained

by another Pennsylvania conditioner, Kathy Neilson. • Racing Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard nominated Hudson River Farms’ Codrington College, who defeated Schoodic by a neck in the Legacy Chase. • International winner in 2016, Armata Stables’ Grand Manan was third behind Schoodic at Genesee. • Rebecca Shepherd’s Curve of Stones was an impressive maiden timber winner at the Virginia Fall meet for Orange County-based trainer David Bourke. In the featured, grade 2, $75,000 Ferguson memorial hurdle handicap, reigning Eclipse Award champ Zanjabeel heads an elite field of eight. Owned by Rosbrian Farm and Meadow Run Farm, Zanjabeel has been on the sidelines since winning Belmont Park’s grade 1 Lonesome Glory last fall. Complete entries are at nationalsteeplechase. com.

Rebecca Shepherd’s Curve of Stones, no. 3, is the only Virginia-based entry in the International headliner.

Not anymore, says TRPB The Thoroughbred Racing Protective Bureau, an investigative agency formed in 1946 by the Thoroughbred Racing Associations of North America to protect the integrity of the sport, announced the introduction of the digital tattoo system, scheduled for full implementation by Jan. 1, 2020. TRPB authenticates the identity of every horse running in every race in North America. The Association of Racing Commissioners International, which oversees racing globally, passed a model rule regarding digital tattoos this summer. “With modern technology, specifically the use of microchips, scanners, wireless technology and tablets, a digital tattoo will clearly provide a superior form of identification,” explained vice-president Curtis Linnell.

The transition to digital tattoos follows the recent requirement by the Jockey Club for horses to be microchipped prior to being registered and, more recently, the availability of a digital certificate of foal registration. Software for the digital tattoo was developed by Jockey Club Technology Services. Horse identifiers will use special scanners to read horses’ microchips; microchip numbers will hyperlink to electronic registration information. After examining markings and foal photos contained in a horse's electronic record, technicians will confirm horse identity. The current practice of branding horses inside the upper lip will be discontinued at the end of 2019. trpb.com

The International Gold Cup was presented in 1972 to winning owner Marion duPont Scott, third from left, for Soothsayer’s victory with all-time leading jockey Joe Aitcheson. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Burrell presented the trophy along with Peggy Arundel, far right.

Rich in prizes, rich in history Trace the Gold Cup’s storied past

The ornate, waist-high International Gold Cup trophy has taken a long and winding route from Europe to its present home in The Plains. The first meet to offer the King of Spain cup was a 1930 race at Grasslands Downs in Brentwood, Tennessee. The chase was run over a 4¼ mile course of natural brush hedges similar to England’s Grand National at Aintree. Spain’s King Alfonso XIII, then one of the world’s most gallant riders and sportmen, placed the spectacularly beautiful pedestal bowl in competition for the 1930 event. After the Tennessee meet folded in 1932, the trophy moved to the Rolling Rock course in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. The 1931 winner of the cup at Grasslands, General Richard King Mellon, had developed the Rolling Rock course, and so he just kept the trophy and designed a championship race for it when he heard of Grasslands’ closure. Mellon was a cousin of the late Upperville

The solid gold King of Spain Cup entered competition in 1930. philanthropist Paul Mellon. The trophy shifted again when Rolling Rock was shuttered in 1983, moving to Great Meadow and anchoring the very first race meet held at the then-new course on Oct. 20, 1984. In keeping with the Great Meadow focus on championship timber racing – the course was built to host the Virginia Gold Cup timber stakes, the International Gold Cup became a timber race.

A return to action at Colonial Downs With a strong assist from a reborn and revitalized Colonial Downs, the National Steeplechase Association wrapped up a successful summer racing season with the New Kent County track’s Rouse memorial hurdle handicap on closing day, Sept. 7. “From two flat races at Parx Racing to Colonial’s races, the summer season has been very gratifying,” said NSA director of racing Bill Gallo. “Monmouth Park rescheduled two maiden races for us, and our Saratoga (New York) program this summer was very strong. “I can’t say enough good about Colonial Downs,” Gallo said. “Virginia is a stronghold of jump racing, and the Colonial races benefited all of our horsemen by offering 10 racing opportunities that we would not have had otherwise. “The atmosphere was terrific, and Colonial’s turf course was a wonderful surface to showcase our sport.” Gallo noted that the Colonial races targeted horses that otherwise would have been idle over the summer. “Maidens cannot race at Saratoga, and Colonial provided five opportunities to create new winners,” he said. “Ratings handicap horses had no opportunities at Saratoga this year, but they had four races at Colonial. “As a result, the Saratoga and Colonial racing programs meshed together well to provide a robust menu of jump racing opportunities for our owners and trainers through the summer.” Riverdee Stable’s Snowie Hill was a two-time winner at Colonial, scoring in an Aug. 17 maiden hurdle and again in the Rouse on Colonial’s closing program. Reopened under new ownership and management after a six-year hiatus, Colonial attracted large crowds and large betting fields to the track located between Richmond and Williamsburg. “We were very pleased with the steeplechase races. They were very successful,” said Jill Byrne, Colonial’s vice president of racing operations. “Given Virginia’s steeplechase heritage, it was a natural to have jump races here. The steeplechase races were well received by the public; people like to watch it. Our flat jockeys would come out to the rail to watch the jump races.” Steeplechase racing also received strong support from the Virginia Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association. “Our board supports steeplechasing,” said VHBPA director Frank Petramalo. “Some of our directors race both flat and steeplechase horses. “Overall, the horsemen were absolutely delighted with the Colonial meet,” said Petramalo, a former NSA director. “We had good support from the steeplechase owners and trainers for the races.” Colonial attracted large fields throughout its meet, and the steeplechase races also filled well. Colonial averaged 8.53 starters per race, and the jump races were close to that average at 8.4 starters in each of the 10 races. Betting on Colonial’s races exceeded $1-million a day, and the track’s purse structure – topping $500,000 a day over the 15 dates – attracted horsemen from all over the country. “Those purse levels were unheard of for Virginia,” Petramalo said. “The new management is very racing savvy and committed to bringing back Virginia racing at a high level.” Byrne said they plan to expand racing next year to 21-30 dates from this year’s 15, and steeplechasing will very likely grow with it. Colonial also is considering a standalone day of steeplechase races in coming years, like the Strawberry Hill Races that shifted to the track when the old Virginia State Fairgrounds refurbished their horse track for car racing. colonialdowns.com

You can bet on it

Champion jockey in 1965, Doug Small jumps at right in the 1970 Virginia Gold Cup. Small died Oct. 11. Details on the hat contest rules are at vagoldcup.com

RIP friends of steeplechasing

The fancy hat contest is another way for spectators to get in on the action. Judging takes place in the winner’s circle at 3:50 p.m. Categories include most outrageous, most glamorous and best racing theme.

Doug Small Jr., champion steeplechase jockey in 1965, suffered an injury while mountain biking with his dog in Fair Hill, Maryland, and died peacefully on Friday, Oct. 11. In addition to lifelong horsemanship, Small was a Master Naturalist, avid fly-fishermen, beekeeper, artist and woodworker. A week before his death, Small had spoken at the memorial service for Paddy Neilson, his close friend and fellow steeplechase jockey. Neilson, winner of 143 races in a 32-year steeplechase career – including the 1975 Virginia Gold Cup on Paul Mellon’s Chapel Street, died Sept. 5 after a short illness at his home in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Neilson was a longCATHERINE FRENCH time whipper-in for the Cheshire Hounds and National Steeplechase Association board member. Steeplechase photographer Catherine French died Sept. 19 after a long battle with cancer. French was based in Camden, South Carolina, but she covered the steeplechase circuit as a photographer for more than 30 seasons. French was best known for her ornate win photos, and as the capable director of the National Steeplechase Museum in Camden.

Jack Russell Terrier races are scheduled in the paddock before the horse races begin Saturday.

Amateur jockey Paddy Neilson, shown winning the Bowman Bowl at Fairfax in 1971, died Sept. 5.

• A statewide referendum in 1988 allowed county-by-county votes for pari-mutuel betting and the eventual 1997 opening of Colonial Downs east of Richmond. • Before that, gambling was limited to informal tailgate party pools at point-to-points, and, before that, to bookies that operated on the margin of county code. • Loudoun County voters initially said “yes” to pari-mutuel wagering in ‘88, but changed it to a “no” in 1993, which enabled the New Kent County track applicant, Colonial Downs, to win the state’s only pari-mutuel license. • Pari-mutuel has never come up for a vote in Fauquier. • Leesburg’s Morven Park had a single-day pari-mutuel steeplechase meet in the early 1990s. • Tellers and portable mutuel machines, along with account wagering, will be available Saturday. Self-serve terminals will be located on North Rail, South Rail and Member’s Hill. Pre-loaded wagering cards can be purchased, with cash, on race day or, with a credit card, ahead of time at Gold Cup offices in Old Town. • Takeout from the handle – nearly $100,000 the past few years – pays into the horsemen’s account which along with takeout from the industry’s OTB network funds purses and breeders’ incentives.

Hats off to the winners

Rare WWII B-17 bomber to take flight in Manassas The freedom of flight is universal. Experience a flight for yourself. PHOTO COURTESY OF EAA

Staff Reports The Experimental Aircraft Association is bringing a rare World War IIera bomber to the Manassas area this week. EAA chapter 186 is hosting the appearance of the B-17 Aluminum Overcast at the Manassas Regional Airport/Harry P. Davis Field from Oct. 23 to 27. On Thursday, Oct. 24, members of the media and five WWII veterans have been invited to fly in the aircraft.

Ground tours and flights will be available to the public from Oct. 25 to 27. Ground tours are $10 per person or $20 for families of two adults and children through age 17 and will be available from 2 to 5 p.m. on Oct. 25 through 27 when the aircraft is not flying. Children under 8 are free with a paying adult and free ground tours are available to veterans and active military members. B-17 flight experiences are $449 in advance or $475 for walk-up flight res-

ervations. EAA’s B-17 was one of more than 12,000 produced during the World War II era and one of only about a dozen that are still flying, the group said in a news release. The aircraft was fully restored during the 1980s and has been making national tours since 1994, according to the news release. The plane is painted in the colors of the 398th Bomb Group of World War II, part of the legendary Eighth Air Force based in England during the

war, according to the news release. EAA Chapter 186 is one of 900 local chapters of the EAA, a recreational flight organization whose mission is “to grow participation in aviation through flying, building, restoring and volunteer outreach, sharing ‘The Spirit of Aviation’ and encouraging all who wish to participate.” Flights can be reserved through EAA’s B17 website at B17.org. Manassas Regional Airport is at 10600 Harry J. Parrish Blvd., Manassas.

Help offered to navigate veterans’ benefits Information session and claims assistance to be held Nov. 1 Staff Reports Veterans and their family members who have questions about veterans’ benefits are encouraged to attend a special briefing in Warrenton on Friday, Nov. 1. Ken Wiseman, an accredited veterans service officer with extensive experience assisting Virginia veterans, will hold an information session at 11 a.m. at the PATH Resource Center, Fauquier conference room, 321 Walker Drive in Warrenton. (Enter building from the rear side and use stairs or elevator to the second floor.) More than 50 attendees attended a similar event held in January which led to numerous claims successfully processed and awarded to local beneficiaries. Wiseman gears his presentation to veterans, spouses, widows and widowers, family members and those in military services or anyone with an interest or need for information and guidance in dealing with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Wiseman will provide up-to-date information, address questions and provide individual assistance about features, eligibility and application processes

for benefits and services. Subjects will include disability compensation, education and training, employment services, health care, home loans, life insurance, memorial benefits, pensions, as well as spouse, dependents and survivor benefits. Wiseman will also explain recent initiatives and pending legislation for assistance programs aimed at helping veterans, their families and survivors. Following the presentation, Wiseman will also offer individual assistance sessions until 6 p.m. in the Rappahannock Room to prepare claims, follow-up on claims processing or submit appeals to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. There is no change to attend; this opportunity is offered free on behalf of local veterans. While reservations are not required, they are helpful for planning purposes, scheduling individual assistance sessions and, if needed, to obtain assistance by volunteer drivers for local transportation to and from the event. Register in advance at www.letsvolunteer.org or email Bruce Campbell at brucea.campbell529@gmail/com.

Saving lives

American Red Cross and National Cartoonists Society partner for event Staff Reports In association with American Red Cross and National Cartoonists Society, Washington, D.C.-area cartoonists have clotted together to help keep the local blood banks wellstocked. The seventh annual “Cartoonists Draw Blood” event will take place in Gainesville on Saturday, Oct. 26. Several leading cartoonists from the D.C. area will be there to draw a complimentary sketch for everyone who gives blood. The event is at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 8213 Linton Hall Road, in Gainesville. Organizer Carolyn Belefski, chair of the Washington, D.C. chapter of the National Cartoonists Society, developed the idea because “it is a great opportunity for cartoonists to use their skills in a positive way and connect with the local community. Additionally, when we did the blood drive last fall, we saved the lives of

up to 90 strangers and the American Red Cross asked us to do another drive!” The day is sponsored by Cartoonists Draw Blood, American Red Cross, National Cartoonists Society’s D.C. chapter, and Holy Trinity Catholic Church; the featured cartoonists scheduled to appear are Al Goodwyn, Carolyn Belefski, Hannah Churn and Matt Rawson. Blood donors can sign up for appointments every 15 minutes between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. To donate blood, please email drive coordinators Belefski and Troy-Jeffrey Allen at cartoonistsdrawblood@ gmail.com with your preferred appointment time. Walk-ins are also welcome on Oct. 26. Halloween costumes are encouraged, but not required. When donating blood, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, include iron-rich foods in your diet, bring a list of medications you are taking, and bring a photo ID.

Want to take a swim with pigs?

Recently, the Bahamas was in the news because of the horrific hurricane damage that occurred. What many people do not realize, however, is that the Bahamas is not one island; it consists of 700 islands. Of that, only four were affected by the last hurricane. That helps to put things in perspective because there is a tendency to only think of Nassau or Atlantis when we hear “Bahamas.” As beautiful as both of those places are, there is so much more to this group of islands in the Caribbean. Are you looking for that unique place where you can really unplug, refresh and unwind? Where there are no fast food places, very few shops and a very slow pace of life? Look no further than Exuma! The Exuma Islands make up 350 of the 700 islands in the Bahamas. From Northern Virginia, you would take flight from Washington Dulles to Miami, then take a direct flight to George Town, Exuma. You’ll land at its tiny airport where the baggage claim is a carport, and they de-

ALESIA HOUSE liver your luggage on a cart. After walking past a gate to the street, you’ll be met by your resort shuttle or a taxi driver. There are four all-inclusive re-

sorts on the island; at each, you’ll discover one of the cleanest, most untouched and beautiful white sand beaches stretching along ocean water so gorgeous that it doesn’t seem real. Exuma is the home of a Greg Norman-designed golf course, where the back nine holes boast views that will have you taking your time between swings just to stop and take it all in. However, if you want to know the real reason people from all over visit Exuma … it’s to swim with the pigs! Yes, people pay money to swim with

pigs. You see, Exuma does not grow anything on the island; everything is imported. Seventeen years ago, a farmer got the idea of putting pigs on an island; when he would go check on them, the pigs heard the boat coming and would swim out in the water to greet him. Now, years later, this is the number one excursion in Exuma! I was able to complete a six-hour tour that included swimming with the pigs, Iguana Island, and a sand bar in the middle of the Caribbean – an amazing experience! Snorkeling and a few other stops made this a wonderful excursion. If you are looking for a unique place to unwind and do something completely out-of-theordinary, Exuma could be just the vacation for you. Alesia House is a local travel concierge who can plan and orchestrate all the details of your vacation. Her goal is to help clients have stress-free vacations that will create lasting memories.

Halloween happenings from haunted to hilarious By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Next Thursday is Halloween. Over the years it seems to have morphed from a day for young children to visit neighbors and get candy and smiles, to elaborate parties, zombie races and a chance for the adults to get in on the action. Safety has entered the scene in a big way and door-to-door in many cases has been replaced with school parties and visiting businesses at a mall or shopping center. Halloween is second, after Christmas, when it comes to decorating. There’s no shortage of orange and black in the retail stores and Spirit Halloween appeared weeks ago near the former Sears building where you’ll find all things Halloween from scary and sweet costumes to party items. Halloween is a major holiday whether you go in for scary stories and spooky tales, hauntings or preparing to have the neighbors in for pumpkin carving. It’s all good. If you are hankering for some Halloween fun and haven’t quite figured out what to put on your Halloween fun calendar, here are a few suggestions in Fauquier and Culpeper to keep you hauntingly happy.

Fall & Early Winter Checklist

Landscape maintenance continues all year long. In fact, fall or early winter is an ideal time to perform several procedures that affect the health, safety and beauty of your trees and shrubs during the spring and summer months. Checklist for healthy trees and shrubs next year: 1. Identify and manage over-wintering pest populations. Begin horticultural oil treatments if necessary for fall feeding pests and next year’s insects and mites. 2. Fertilize plantings to encourage root development. 3. Prune dead, broken and interfering branches. If the canopy is dense, prune (thin) live branches to reduce wind resistance and improve appearance. 4. Check for structural weaknesses in branch junctions – install cabling and/or bracing if necessary. 5. Consider lightning protection for trees at risk or close to structures. 6. Perform cultural practices. Mulch, protect from damage from animals and the drying effects of winter weather. 7. Assess your landscape needs and establish next season’s landscape goals.

Charles Henry Russell Charles Henry Russell “Chuck”, 80 went to be with his Lord & Savior on Tuesday, October 15th surrounded by his loved ones. Chuck was predeceased by his parents Mabel and Michael Russell, brother Mikey, sister Doris and his son, Jerry. Chuck is survived by his wife Sherry, two Sons, Mike (Danita), Jeff (Kathy), one Daughter Carla and three step-children, Carl (Erica), Kimberly and Sharon. Seven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and a whole host of family and friends. Chuck was born on March 9th, 1939 in Farmville, Virginia. His family moved from Farmville to Abingdon and eventually to Fairfax County where Chuck was a 1957 graduate of Fairfax High School. He became a very skilled crane operator and partnered with his best friend to establish Skyline Crane Service, Inc. in 1963 where Chuck became well known and loved for his keen business sense and the way in which he handled the field and the relationships that grew with the men that worked for him. Chuck retired from Skyline in 1981 and pursued his passion of raising and racing thoroughbreds. In 1978 his accomplished thoroughbred “Cortan” held track records and was entered into the “Wall of Fame” in Charlestown, West Virginia along with a banquet room at Penn National in Pennsylvania named “Cortan”. Chuck enjoyed hunting, bowling, golfing, fishing and horseshoes. But his greatest love was his family and his health rapidly declined after the loss of his son Jerry in June. Chuck shared the last 21 years of his life with his wife Sherry who lovingly cared for him. Chuck & Sherry were both saved and baptized together in 2014 and enjoyed traveling, gardening, fishing, knitting and being caregivers. When Chuck’s doctors told him the smoking had to go he decided to pick up knitting to keep his hands and mind busy. And he excelled at knitting just like he did with everything else in his life. Chuck will be forever loved and missed. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Chuck’s memory to the Blue Ridge Hospice. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Valley Baptist Church, 408 Stoney Creek Road, Edinburg, VA 22824 on Saturday, October 26, 2019 at 2pm. Services will be officiated by Pastor James Bailey who had the privilege of leading Chuck and Sherry to the Lord and baptizing them.

Simple and Complex Estates LET’S PLAN TO TALK According to the fifth National Funeral Directors Association’s annual Consumer Awareness and Preferences Study in a row, consumers acknowledge the importance of preplanning their own funeral, but fail to follow up on the notion. While 62.5 percent of consumers felt that it was very important to communicate their funeral plans and wishes to family members, prior to their own death, only 21.4 percent had done so. There were several factors that consumers cited as preventing them from planning, including: preplanning is not a priority; that they have not thought about it; or that prepaying is too costly. In order to overcome these selfimposed obstacles to preplanning and get accurate information, all are encouraged to engage us in a personal conversation. By planning a funeral service in advance you can design and specify the exact type of service you’d like. By letting your family know how you’d like your funeral or memorial service to be, they’ll have fewer decisions to make during a difficult emotional time. Taking the time now to arrange your funeral is one less thing your loved ones will have to worry about once you’ve passed. If you are interested in learning more about the services MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Let no one weep for me, or celebrate my funeral with mourning; for I still live, as I pass to and fro through the mouths of men.”
