Fauquier overdose deaths drop to 13 in 2017 Opioids still ‘driving force’ behind drug fatalities in Virginia
By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer
Fatal drug overdoses remain the leading cause of unnatural death in Virginia and claimed at least 13 lives in Fauquier County in 2017, according a Virginia Department of Health report released this week. Though 2017 numbers are not yet final, a state health department report released April 20 shows that 1,534 Virginians died of drug overdoses in
2017, up from 1,428 people in 2016. At the time of the report, about 40 cases from 2017 remained open, awaiting additional reports to determine cause and manner of death. According to the preliminary numbers, Fauquier County had 13 overdose deaths in 2017, down from 25 in 2016. Prince William County had 59 overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 58 in 2016. Manassas had 14 overdose deaths in 2017, up from seven in 2016; while Manassas Park had four

overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016. The Virginia Department of Health reports that fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2015 and the leading method of accidental death since 2014. Opioids continued to represent the largest percentage of fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017. Opioids accounted for 1,227 fatal overdoses in Virginia in 2017, up from 1,138 deaths in 2016.
Parking, revitalizing Old Town, the need for safety improvements on Broadview Avenue and the Walker Drive development were among the hot-button issues Warrenton Town Council candidates discussed April 18 during a two-hour forum at Taylor Middle School. Candidates for mayor Macdonald claims he is and two at-large coundropping out of Warrenton cil seats are on the ballot Town Council race. Page 4 May 1. In the Warrenton mayoral race, voters must decide between Grace Rigby, 19, and Carter Nevill, 47, both of whom are vying to succeed Mayor Powell Duggan, who isn’t running for re-election. Four candidates were initially vying for two at-large council seats, including incumbent Town Council members Sean Polster, 47, Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds, 74, and challengers Renard Carlos, 29, and Keith Macdonald, 56. Macdonald has since claimed he is dropping out of the race.

WARF employee charged with embezzlement
A part-time Warrenton Aquatics Recreation Facility employee was charged with embezzlement Monday for allegedly stealing about $200 from the front desk of the recreation facility. The amount involved, according to Town Manager Brannon Godfrey, was just over $200, the threshold for a felony. Michael Bruck was charged with one count of embezzlement by the Warrenton Police Department and released on his own recognizance. Bruck had worked at the WARF since it opened but is no longer an employee, Godfrey said. Godfrey said the alleged theft was caught on videotape. WARF customers are allowed to pay for day passes and other fees in cash. “With a recent upgrade to our video-recording system, we were able to review and verify that this activity occurred over a period of time,” Godfrey said. “Accounting controls have been in place at the WARF since the facility opened, and the facility has been part of the town’s annual audit since 2007,” Godfrey said. “As a result of this incident, we are putting additional cash-control measures at the front desk to prevent a recurrence,” he said. “These involve receipt-control measures as well as direct observation measures. Our goal is to prevent any recurrence and to safeguard town assets.”

School PTO president charged with embezzlement, forging
Grace Miller Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Organization president was arrested last week and charged with embezzlement and forgery in connection with transfers made between her personal bank account and that of the organization. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint in early April regarding suspicious activity involving the bank account belonging to the Grace Miller Elementary School PTO. The complaint, received from another PTO officer, alleged the PTO president had forged checks and made transfers involving the PTO account, according to a press release issued by the sheriff’s office Friday. The investigation determined the forgery and uttering and embezzlement occurred between October 2017 and April 2018. On April 16, Detective Candyce Shaw obtained warrants charging Kiley Morgan Gonzalez, 29, of Bealeton, with embezzlement, forgery and uttering, the press release said. Gonzalez turned herself in on April 17. Gonzalez was taken before a magistrate and released on her own recognizance. Gonzalez is charged with five counts of forgery and uttering and 10 counts of embezzlement, the press release said.

Fire destroys home on Cedar Run Drive
Two adults and their dog were displaced last week when fire destroyed a home on Cedar Run Drive in Warrenton, according to the Warrenton Fire and Rescue Department. Firefighters received the call for help about 6:51 p.m. on Friday, April 20. Units from Warrenton, New Baltimore, Catlett and Prince William County arrived to find the two-story, wood-frame home with fire showing from rear deck, backside and roof of the structure, Warrenton Fire Chief Jason T. Golden said in a press release. All occupants were immediately located outside the home and had suffered no injuries. The victims were not identified. “Crews worked quickly to knock the bulk of the fire down within 15 to 20 minutes,” Golden said. The fire was contained to the outside of the rear and the roof/attic space, but water damage was evident throughout the home. The structure is no longer inhabitable, the press release said. Firefighters were on scene for about three hours and 35 minutes to completely put down the fire and complete the salvage and overhaul, Golden said. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Firefighters found nothing suspicious while they were on the scene, Golden said.

James Hartman, the sheriff’s office spokesman, said the sign was damaged in a one-car crash involving a 16-year-old boy driving a Dodge Challenger. The teen was attempting to make a left turn onto Eddington Drive from
Rogues Road when he lost control of his vehicle and struck the brick sign, Hartman said. The crash occurred at 10:21 a.m. on April 17, Hartman said. The teen, whose name was not released because he is a minor, was charged with reckless driving, Hartman said. There was no information available on the cost of the damage to the sign.

Macdonald claims he is withdrawing from race to block Reynolds By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
In a surprise move this week, Keith Macdonald says he is dropping out of the Warrenton Town Council race to endorse incumbent Councilman Sean Polster and challenger Renard Carlos in what Macdonald said is an attempt to block incumbent Councilmember Sunny Reynolds from being re-elected. By dropping out one week before the May 1 elec- Keith Macdonald tion, Macdonald said he hopes to reduce vote-splitting that might help Reynolds win one of the two at-large seats at stake. “I am today announcing my withdrawal from the race for Warrenton Town Council at large seat,” Macdonald said in a statement Sunday. “After careful review of the race dynamics, I feel that it would best serve the community’s interests to urge every one of my supporters to vote for Sean Polster and Renard Carlos
to elect honest, earnest, young candidates eager to serve the community, and not themselves or cronies.” Reynolds declined to comment Monday on Macdonald’s accusations or his decision to withdraw from the race. Macdonald’s name, however, will still appear on the ballot when voters go to the polls. Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables said signs would be posted to alert voters of a candidate’s decision to withdraw from the contest if the office of elections receives such notification in writing. As of Tuesday, no such notification had been received, Ables said. In a statement, Macdonald criticized Reynold’s role in council votes that led to Cube Smart, the Walker Drive rezoning and the American Legion assisted living facility. He also said developers had too much sway over the council. A real estate developer, Macdonald said he entered the race “to effect beneficial and fundamental change to the central business district [by] transforming our land-use practices to … allow and encourage appropriate growth within our historic district.”

During the campaign, Macdonald stressed the need to repurpose parking lots to revitalize the downtown commercial district. Both Carlos and Polster said they knew Sunday of Macdonald’s plans to withdraw from the race. Polster said he appreciates Macdonald’s endorsement. Macdonald, Polster said, “used his candidacy to promote big ideas, some of which I also advocate. As a stakeholder, I hope he continues to bring ideas forward to the council. I respect his reasons for withdrawal and very much appreciate his endorsement of my re-election campaign.” Carlos said he is “grateful for Mr. Macdonald’s belief that after listening to my concepts for the town, he feels I am well suited for the job.” Carlos said he “listened carefully” to Macdonald at the candidate’s forum and “appreciated how much he’s thought about what we need to revive Old Town which is struggling, in addition to the need for improved strategic planning for Warrenton.” Carlos said he welcomes Macdonald’s supporters and “will do my best to earn their vote by working hard alongside all devoted to developing a solid plan to revitalize Old Town.” Both Polster and Carlos declined to comment on Macdonald’s accusations regarding Reynolds. The enmity between Macdonald and Reynolds has been brewing for

some time. Most recently, during the debate at Taylor Middle School on April 18, Macdonald criticized Reynolds for not responding to his calls about his plan to build a new library on his property on Winchester Street. Reynolds, who is also vice mayor, petitioned for and received a protective order against Macdonald stemming from a February incident at Claire’s restaurant. Reynolds said Macdonald behaved in a threatening manner toward her during the encounter. Macdonald has appealed the ruling and has denied doing anything improper. That appeal will be heard in June. In the May 1 election, the two candidates with the most votes will win four-year terms starting July 1. In 2014, when Polster and Reynolds won their seats, Reynolds was the top vote-getter with 571 of the 1,096 votes cast, about 28.8 percent, while Polster won 559 votes, or 28.1 percent. Architect David Norden received 438 votes, or 28.1 percent, while environmental attorney Roger Martella garnered 438 votes or 20.7 percent. Seven votes were cast for others. As of last week, there were 6,757 Warrenton residents registered to vote, 163 more than in the 2014 election. Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Macdonald and Reynolds sat at opposite ends of a long table as they answered questions Wednesday. Reynolds received a restraining order against Macdonald in March after telling a Fauquier General District Court judge she felt threatened when Macdonald approached her at an Old Town restaurant in February.
Nevill, Rigby vie for mayor
The candidates for both offices fielded questions from Fauquier Now Editor Lou Emerson and Fauquier Times staff writer Leland Schwartz at after making opening statements. Rigby, a legal assistant, said the town’s ”charm and beauty” should be protected. As mayor, she said she would present the views of citizens to council. Nevill is co-owner of a jewelry and gift shop on Main Street. He chaired the Partnership for Warrenton and helped establish its successor, Experience Old Town Warrenton. As a member of the architectural review board, he said he had a hand in streamlining the application processes without compromising its mission of protecting the town’s historic district. Nevill said streamlining also needs to come to the process of obtaining building and other permits. Nevill said the mayor, who isn’t a voting member of council except in case of a tie, “needs to be a visionary, to chart the course. This town has potential. It has possibilities. That’s why I’m running for mayor,” he said. Asked about the merits of annexing the “panhandle area,” a stretch of U.S. 15/29 just outside town limits populated by car dealerships and restaurants, Rigby said public forums should be held on the issue. Nevill said annexation is worth considering, though there would be costs to the town in doing so. He suggested exploring a revenue-sharing agreement with the county. Nevill said the planning process to make traf-
fic-flow improvements on Broadview Avenue has been “improperly handled” because “plans were changed without input from the business community.” Rigby noted the Broadview design calling for restricted crossings and medians hasn’t been completed. “I don’t think anybody would question there is more danger traveling Broadview,” she said.
Council candidates discuss parking, development
Polster said he will recommend the council ask the Virginia Department of Transportation to put the project on hold until there is more public comment. Reynolds noted there have been four focus group meetings on the Broadview Avenue project involving businesses along the road. She said there is a $9 million state grant at stake and noted: “if we don’t use it, we lose it.” She said the town has put in about $1 million toward the project. Rigby said she didn’t see the need for “infill” retail development in Old Town at a time when there are vacancies in existing commercial buildings on Main Street. Nevill said he thought a combination of in-fill development with a parking garage could be worth considering. The theme of parking and retail development continued when the at-large council candidates came to the speakers’ table. Macdonald said there is an overabundance of parking in the central business district of Old Town. “We built out when we should have built up and built in,” Macdonald said. He said Old Town has 6 acres of parking lots covering real estate that could be better used. He said the town should be actively recruiting entrepreneurs to set up shop in Warrenton. Macdonald slammed the Walker Drive mixed-use project as “sprawl” that received the backing of coun-

cil after it was offered “trinkets,” including a possible bowling alley and movie theater as part of the development. Reynolds said one of the things she hears constantly from people is the need for more entertainment options. She said the Walker Drive developers also proffered a children’s splash pad. Polster suggested putting a splash pad at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreational Facility. “The citizens of the town shouldn’t pay for one,” Reynolds said. Reynolds said she supports the town doing business with local banks or suppliers — within reason. She cited the case of a bid from a local bank to provide financing to the town at a rate that was just .25 percent higher than a quote from a bank outside the area. “I believe we should have gone with the local bank and I supported that,” she said. That wouldn’t be the case if the quote was 2 or 3 percent higher, she added. Carlos urged caution. “We’ve got to be careful. We have to run the town like a business,” he said. Carlos also said he believes the town can adopt policies “to make the town more business friendly.” Carlos said communication is the key. “It starts with communication, it starts with listening,” he said. Polster said he voted against raising taxes and that last year he proposed a reduction in the Business, Professional and Occupational Licensing taxes. Polster talked about new ideas and projects he spearheaded, including starting the annual Warrenton Town Limits festival at the WARF and the installation of new wayfinding signs. Some ideas he championed didn’t come to pass, such as a mini-golf course and archery at the WARF. Polster said he faced a “this is the way we’ve always done it” mentality when he joined council four years ago. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Fauquier overdose deaths drop to 13 in 2017 OVERDOSE from page 1 In Fauquier County, there were 11 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2017, compared to 23 in 2016. In Prince William County, 49 overdose deaths were attributed to opioids in 2017, the same number reported in 2016. In Manassas, 12 overdose deaths were due to opioids in 2017, up from seven in 2016. In Manassas Park there were four opioid overdose deaths in 2017, up from one in 2016. Statewide, opioids “have been the driving force behind the large increases in fatal overdoses since 2013,” the state health department report says.
The state report also notes that fentanyl caused or contributed to 770 deaths in Virginia in 2017, representing more than 50 percent of all fatal overdoses in the state. In 2016, fentanyl caused or contributed to 624 deaths. In Prince William County, fentanyl caused or contributed to 25 deaths in 2017 and 33 deaths in 2016, according to the report. Manassas had 10 fentanyl-related deaths in 2017, up from four in 2016, while Manassas Park had one fentanyl-related death in both 2017 and 2016. Fauquier County had eight fentanyl-related
deaths in 2017, down from 14 in 2016. “Rural areas in Virginia have the highest mortality rates due to prescription opioids, while urban areas have the highest mortality rates due to illicit opioids,” the report said. Between 2015 and 2016, Virginia saw its largest increase in the number of fatal overdoses on record, at 38.9 percent, according to state records. “Although 2017 numbers surpassed those of 2016, the rate of change (7.5 percent increase) was not as significant as that seen in 2016 compared to 2015,” the report states.

Dems make their (unofficial) pick to challenge Garrett By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Democrats in the 5th Congressional District appear to have chosen Leslie Cockburn, a former journalist and Rappahannock County resident, to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett in the November general election. The nomination won’t be official until party delegates take a final vote in their May 5 convention in Farmville. But after a two-week-long series of 23 county-level caucuses, Cockburn has been declared the unofficial winner, according to the Associated Press. She beat out Roger Dean Huff-
stetler, a former Marine, and Andrew Sneathern, a former prosecutor. Cockburn previously worked for 60 Minutes and Vanity Fair. A fourth candidate, Ben Cullop, dropped out of the race on April 17. Cockburn thanked her supporters on her Facebook page over the weekend. “I can’t thank ALL of you enough for coming out to vote at all 23 caucuses. This week, a total of 140 of our delegates were elected to go to the convention in Farmville on May 5th, allowing us to win the nomination on first ballot,” she wrote. “Thank you, #VA05!” Cockburn’s win in the Fauquier County caucus, held Saturday,
April 21, helped her secure the unofficial nomination. Cockburn received 12 delegates and four alternates. Huffstetler received five delegates and one alternate. A total of 371 registered voters participated in the caucus, according to a Facebook post on the Fauquier County Democratic Committee’s page. Cockburn has said her opposition to President Donald Trump helped inspire her to run for office. Trump won Virginia’s 5th Congressional District in the 2016 election. Garrett, a former state senator, is seeking a second term in Congress. Reach James Ivancic at JIvancic@fauquier.com

Towns only work when their residents vote Have you taken Rover to Warrenton’s new dog park or the kids to play at Eva Walker Park? If you live in Remington, have you visited the classic car show or used the conveniently-located “pet-waste stations”? While driving through The Plains, have you wondered whether the streetlights are energy-efficient or sufficiently “dark-sky friendly” for area wildlife? (Answer: They are.) Given the energy daily life requires, most people likely don’t think about the work that goes into such amenities, but we nonetheless appreciate that someone else is taking time to make life more pleasant for those who live in Fauquier County’s three towns: The Plains, Remington and Warrenton. Some of those people — the doers behind the streetlights, the new dog park and a myriad other things — are on the ballot May 1 alongside newcomers who want to try their hands at improving quality of life for their neighbors. The job isn’t just about the extras. Town mayors and councilmembers worry most about their fellow residents’ safety. That OUR VIEW means overseeing crucial public services, including adequate police departments and, in some cases, fire-and-rescue services. It’s also not easy. Town council members spend loads of time attending public meetings and work sessions, answering constituents’ emails and studying up on possible solutions to the challenges their towns face. In most cases, they do this work for a relative pittance. Most towns pay their mayors and councilmembers small salaries, but it’s usually only a few thousand dollars, if that. On top of all that, town council members must run for re-election every two or four years, depending on their town’s charters. Since towns councils comprise perhaps the most accessible level of government to their small constituencies, it shouldn’t be hard for voters to pay attention. Is the garbage picked up as expected? Are the sidewalks in good shape? Are the parking rules working for residents and business owners? All are the purview of town governments, meaning they have a regular impact on residents’ daily lives. Of Fauquier County’s 69,000 residents, fewer than 11,000 live in towns. Towns exist simply because Virginia offers communities the opportunity to create a level of government more closely focused on residents’ particular needs. For that reason, living in a town can be considered a privilege. Town residents pay a bit more taxes, but the impact of those dollars is likely felt more acutely than the money residents send to the federal, state or maybe even the county government (although counties also deliver services close to home, even to town residents). The arrangement, however, only works when town residents care enough to vote. On that score, Fauquier County — indeed all of Virginia — doesn’t have the best track record. Statewide, the average turnout in May town elections is 10 percent. In the 2016 May elections, turnout in The Plains hit 18.6 percent, but just 9.8 percent of voters turned out in the Town of Warrenton. Given all town leaders do (or don’t do) to impact residents’ daily routines, shouldn’t more town residents take the time to vote? A reminder for those who live in Fauquier County’s towns: Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 1. Please vote.

Opinion & Commentary YOUR VIEW
A rebuttal to an April 18 letter
Not satisfied with Reynolds
Mr. John Sherman points out in his first two paragraphs [of his April 18 letter] that the candidates for the 5th District Congressional District made their pitches to Fauquier Democrats for the April 21 caucus. He conveys the message that it’s the same old tired speeches on various subjects that he has heard before and the repetition has dulled the impact. I would probably agree with him for the most part. Mr. Sherman wants to stop Republicans at the voting booth. His first two paragraphs reminded me of some of the reasons I voted for President Trump. Certainly, he is an unorthodox president, but his policies appear to be working for the American people. [Trump] doesn’t bow or apologize for America, and when he draws a line in the sand and tells another country not to cross it, he means it. If nuclear weapons are eliminated in North Korea, this administration has done the American people a great justice. Unemployment and taxes are down, and our military has been strengthened. If this is what Mr. Sherman describes as a reckless administration, I’ll
take it. If this is the definition of “fundamentally changing the United States,” then I’m all for it. Mr. Sherman writes of President Trump spiking our justice system with ultra-conservative judges. Again, I will agree with him if he agrees that President Obama spiked the justice system with ultra-liberal judges. As for tightening access to the ballot box, I have never had any problems voting. I have to be on a voter registration list and show a voter ID, and if I am unable to travel to a voting center, I can mail in my vote. I can only vote once in an election. I will also add that being an American citizen also gives me lawful access to the ballot box. In his last paragraph, Mr. Sherman advocates voting out Republicans and especially very extreme Republicans. Is he okay with Bernie Sanders being on the Democratic ballot …? Or is it just “Republicans and extreme Republicans” that need to be voted out of office?
In the last city council election, I ignored friends’ advice and not only voted for Sunny Reynolds, but also allowed her to be the only candidate ever to place a campaign poster in my yard. Since the election I have had three occasions to contact Reynolds. On the first two incidents she did not call or respond in any way.
With a town election about a week away and the rhetoric with themes of “New Faces. New Voices,” and “New Voices. New Ideas. New Possibilities,” surfacing on a yard sign near you, I argue that now, more than ever, we need experienced and tested leaders. It makes the most sense to re-elect both Mr. Polster and Ms. Reynolds because we arguably have the best functioning Town Council I have seen in years. A council who truly listens, debates, collaborates and votes based on what they believe is best for our collective future. If you attend council meetings as often as I have over the past several years, you would see firsthand how much this council truly cares about the future of our town. Now more than ever, we need more than New Faces, New Ideas or New Possibilities, or more
rhetoric; as voters, we need vetted ideas and tested voices who know how to work together to meet the needs of their residents and businesses Re-electing both Mr. Polster and Ms. Reynolds on May 1 to keep the same overall council for another two years until the ward seats are up for election, coupled with electing a mayor with true leadership and civic engagement experience such as Mr. Nevill, is the best way forward for our town as we face the challenges we currently face — and then ones we can foresee. The new faces can perhaps serve on a town committee to gain the necessary experience and then run for their ward seat in two years once we have time to test their engagement and continued enthusiasm.

On a third issue I wish she had, yet again, ignored me. She responded to by call with the vilest truculence and hostility. To say she was less than helpful would be a grave understatement. Robert Bowman Warrenton
In support of Sunny Reynolds Dear Neighbors: Most of us have a common foundation: We love where we live, enjoy raising our families here, do our best to keep our neighborhoods safe and sound and will always lend a helping hand. We want to be able to afford to remain here, too. Back in 2005, my wife and I created the Warrenton Lifestyle magazine to celebrate all the good things that this town offers. Although we sold the magazine almost two years ago, my passion for Warrenton has not faded. The upcoming Town Council election on May 1 is one of the important times that we get to set the direction for our community. Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds and I have a long friendship, sustained for almost 30 years. We have worked together with dozens of local nonprofit organizations, done business together, shared friendships and traveled with her travel company. Sunny has always been the volunteer you could count on to roll up her sleeves to make a community event happen. She has served us well both independently and on Town Council with a very careful eye on government spending. Longtime Warrenton public servants are endorsing her because of her ability to be bold and fair knowing she works unselfishly and tirelessly for the citizens of Warrenton. Yes, she’s outspoken. Sunny doesn’t hide, is always willing to listen and makes tough decisions. She’s the real deal. Sunny has served us with hard work, money and dedication to our community. She is never afraid of a challenge. Compare her commu-
nity service to those she is running against. There is no other council candidate with close to her experience and passion to do the job well. When elected four years ago, Sunny faced the challenge of what was being neglected in Warrenton. Frankly, our water and sewer systems were near failing (as stated by the consultants that reviewed them), support for our police and for the fire departments was not where it should have been, and the town was stuck with some financial albatrosses. In four years, Ms. Reynolds made sure that our infrastructure was addressed with major projects underway to shore up our systems for the next 25 years. Our police department is fully staffed, and our fire department received more appropriate funding. Soon, a failed investment will be sold/ returned to the private sector where it belongs—off the books of our tax-funded government and back on the tax rolls. Sunny also led the way to help local citizens establish the Walker Drive project, which aims to bring a much-desired entertainment complex to Warrenton with a movie theater or modern bowling alley—a project only one councilman voted against. Soon, we will have more options for date night in Warrenton! Sunny is leading the way to work with Fauquier County to fight the opioid crisis, create an arts district downtown and to ensure that small businesses have a welcome home here. Please vote May 1st. Sincerely, Tony Tedeschi Warrenton

Warrenton Sears begins closing sale this week By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
Warrenton’s Sears store will launch a liquidation sale Friday ahead of the store’s closing, which is expected in July. The store, in the Warrenton Village Shopping Center, is slated to close by the end of July as part of a corporate downsizing, according to company spokesman Howard Riefs. Sears has been open for two decades at 141 W. Lee Highway and employs about 20 people. Given the size of the store — 115,000 square feet — it is likely the space will need to be cut up for multiple new tenants, as replacing it with another big-box store would be a challenge, according to Town of Warrenton officials. News of the store’s closing did not come
as a surprise, said Tom Wisemiller, the town’s economic development manager. “The town has been preparing for this contingency by working with the property ownership/development group as well as property-management group to discuss options for reus[ing] the retail building and/or site and to attract new potential businesses to the Sears retail center,” Wisemiller said. “We are making the difficult but necessary decision to close the Sears store in Warrenton,” Riefs said. “We have been strategically and aggressively evaluating our store space and productivity and have accelerated the closing of unprofitable stores as previously announced,” Riefs said. “This is not an effort solely aimed at cost savings but is part of a strategy we have been executing as many of our larger stores are too
big for our needs.” “Having fewer stores — and the right format — will help us bring Sears Holdings to a size and place to meet the realities of the changing retail world,” Riefs added. The store’s associates who are eligible will receive severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores, he said. The Warrenton store was not on the list of more than 100 Sears and Kmart stores targeted for closure this year. KLNB, the company that leases the properties in the Warrenton Village Center, says on its website there are about 25,000 people within 5 miles of the site with an average household income of $120,000.

Planning commission approves permit to allow Mosby House to revert to private residence By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
The transition of historic Brentmoor, also known as the Mosby House, from a public museum to a private residence advanced last week when the Warrenton Planning Commission approved a special permit for that purpose. The house, at the eastern end of Main Street, is zoned “public/ semi-public” and is part of what the Town of Warrenton’s comprehensive plan designates as a “live-work neighborhood.” In a vote April 17, the planning commission approved
a permit that would allow the house to be used as residential dwelling. If the Warrenton Town Council concurs, the switch would pave the way for the council to sell the home. The next step will be a public hearing on the potential sale of the Mosby House to Kirk and Robin Goolsby. The hearing is expected to be part of the town council’s regular meeting May 8. The two-story, Italianate home was built in 1859 and was briefly owned by Confederate Col. John Singleton Mosby, famously known by his nickname “Grey Ghost.” Mosby fought alongside J.E.B. Stu-
art and led a cavalry battalion from 1863 to 1865. Mosby owned the home from 1875 to 1877. The house was purchased by the Town of Warrenton in 1999 for $460,000. It was turned into a museum in 2013. The museum struggled financially and closed about year later, when its funding ran out. Over the past few years, museum advocates tried to persuade the council to let them reopen the building as a museum and cultural center, arguing that strategy would best support the town’s economic development and historic preservation goals.
But councilmembers, tired of spending an estimated $6,000 to $8,000 a year on the home’s upkeep, voted in August to put it up for sale for $595,00. The home lacks an indoor kitchen and bathrooms and is being sold “as is.” About a month after the home was put on the market, the Goolsbys, who attended the planning commission meeting April 17, sent the town a letter of intent to purchase the house for the asking price. Negotiations have since been kept confidential by town officials. Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Candidates seek new businesses, activities in Remington By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Seven candidates are running for six seats on the Remington Town Council. Mayor Gerald Billingsley is unopposed in his bid to continue in the job. On the council, two of the five incumbents are not seeking re-election. They are Patrick Nelson and Gabrielle Grumbacher, who recently resigned because she moved out of Remington. Three newcomers will appear on the May 1 ballot. They are Marcus Bones, Pamela Cook and Susan Tiffany. Seeking re-election are Evan Hamilton Ashby III, Devada Allison, Stan Heaney and Van Loving. Voters will cast ballots at the new town hall, 105 E. Main St. Remington had 348 registered voters as of April 19, according to the Fauquier County Office of the Registrar.
Allison seeks third term
Allison, 41, has served two terms on town council. He previously served on the town’s board of zoning appeals. He works an outside-plant construction inspector for Express Technology. Allison started the town’s outdoor movie series in partnership with Remington United Methodist Church. A different movie is shown on the third Saturday of the month from May through September. Allison also helps with the annual fall festival and National Night Out. He was also involved with staging the first Remington Car Show, held April 21. “I was able to get the town petwaste stations in strategic spots around town to help with pet waste,” Allison said. “I followed up on a campaign promise during my first term and got multiple street lights installed around town.” Allison said the town should continue to seek grants and work with the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors to pay for more family-oriented events and activities. Allison sees Remington capitalizing on a “down home Main Street America” feel to draw families and travelers to town.
Ashby seeks a fourth term
Ashby, 63, was appointed to fill an unexpired term in 2011 and subsequently won elections in 2012, 2014 and 2016. “During my time on council I have been interviewed and recommended five or more persons for part-time positions with the town as head of police/personnel committee,” he said. “As a member of the finance committee, I have helped to monitor spending and created budgets that set our goals and expectations for the next year.” Ashby called the completion of the new town hall the “single most rewarding project” he’s been involved
Small towns, small turnout
Turnout is expected to be light in the May 1 town elections. Here’s the number of registered voters in each of Fauquier County’s three towns and the turnout in the last town election in 2016. Registered 2016 turnout voters The Plains 210 18.66 percent Remington 348 7.60 percent Warrenton 6,757 9.80 percent
with as a member of town council. The new town offices opened in December. Ashby, retired from the Air Force, said he expects Remington will grow and wants to see “well-planned expansion, not just … how many people we can shoehorn into the current space.”
Bones serves on planning commission
Bones, 65, moved to Remington with his wife nine years ago. She’s a retired teacher. He’s a retired appraiser. “I’ve really fallen in love with this town,” Bones said. He became a member of the town planning commission a couple years ago and said he’s become more familiar with town government as a result. “The town is growing. Ryan Homes is building homes, businesses are coming in, older homes are being renovated, we have a community garden. This is an exciting time,” he said. Bones has hopes the town will get a boat landing at the Rappahannock Station Battlefield Park, which is under development. Bones says he is “pro-growth when it comes to certain types. I would like to preserve the old parts of town.”
Cook eyes walking, biking paths
Cook, 45, is a human resource specialist who has lived in Remington for 13 years. She is married and the mother of three children. She has a master’s degree in management. Cook said she’d like to “help make decisions that will benefit the residents who live in town.” She wants to help create strategic and long-term goals to improve the appearance of the town. Cook said she’d particularly like to see more walking and bicycling paths throughout Remington.
Deli owner Heaney emphasizes progress
Heaney seeks another term on council. He’s served since 2006. He’s been a member of council’s water and finance committees, which has been “challenging at times. “Some people like to spend a lot of money. I try to steer them away. I try to spend money more wisely,” he said. Heaney, who owns the Corner Deli in Remington, sees positive things happening in town. Older homes are being fixed up by their owners or torn down. The former Culpeper Farmers’ Co-Op building is starting to fill up with tenants.

Loving back on the ballot
Loving, 58, has served on council a total of 26 years, with a couple breaks in between, since 1987. He grew up in the town. Loving said he’d like to see Remington keep its small-town feel. Events like the car show this past Saturday are “good for the town,” he said. He expects the data centers planned
for just outside of town will bring about change but added: “I think that will be good for the town.” Loving said he’d like to see more small businesses, including restaurants, established.
Tiffany looks to attract businesses

Three incumbents, one challenger vie for three seats in The Plains By James Ivancic
Sisson: ‘Neighbors helping neighbors’
Times Staff Writer
Four candidates are vying for three seats on The Plains Town Council in the upcoming May 1 election. Heidi Van Voorhis, Lori Sisson and Joyce Heflin are seeking re-election. Kevin Henry is the lone challenger in the race.
Van Voorhis back on the ballot
Van Voorhis, 51, has served on council for 12 years. She works as a marketing consultant and served on a special-education advisory committee for Fauquier County Public Schools and as a member of the Fauquier School Support Council. Van Voorhis said she’s worked on traffic-calming measures aimed at enhancing the safety of pedestrians, children and pets. There is now a line item in the budget to pay for traffic calming. “After obtaining outside funding, I led the effort to switch our town street lighting to more energy-efficient and dark-sky friendly design to replace outdated mercury vapor lamps,” she added. As for the future, she said, “My approach is careful consideration for all decisions under the scope of how it fits with The Plains’ vision, The Plains’ Comprehensive Plan and The Plains’ ordinances in order to first benefit those who chose to live in the town.”
Sisson, 51, has served on town council for 20 years. She’s vice president of The Plains Community League and a member of a Fauquier women’s group and the Fauquier Faith Coalition. She works as a probation and parole officer for the commonwealth. Sisson said town leaders have tried to bring about growth that is “in the manner of our smalltown feel,” naming the Windy Hill affordable housing projects as an example. “I don’t want us to turn into Middleburg. There’s nothing wrong with Middleburg, but it’s a different style. The Plains has always been about neighbors helping neighbors,” Sisson said. She said she’d like to see something worked out with Alan Mendleson, a developer who wants to build eight houses off Hopewell Road and Mosby Street. He’s been working with the town’s planning commission on the configuration of the homes, driveways and impact on sloping ground.
Heflin: ‘a community everyone loves’
Heflin, 55, has served on council for 16 years. “I’m a native of The Plains. I feel I represent the older residents. I’ve lived here my whole life and have no plans to move,” she said. “I don’t have any agenda. I want the community to remain a community that everyone loves.”
Heflin said she wishes more people would get involved in the community whether it be through the community league, a church or the fire-andrescue service. The town has become more of a bedroom community in which people don’t know each other well, she said. Heflin said she’d like to see new housing priced at a level more people could afford.
Henry: ‘Getting engaged’
Henry, 52, moved to The Plains with his wife from Haymarket in 2014. They have two daughters in college. He’s a former Navy aviator who now flies commercial planes for Southwest Airlines. “I really love the community. I really wanted to get engaged in local politics and this seems an interesting way to do it,” Henry said. He’s been involved with government affairs through his airline union. He said he lives next door to Mayor Blakeney Gallaher and that council member Chris Malone suggested that he run in the election. “I love the feel of The Plains. I wouldn’t want it to go the way of Haymarket or Gainesville,” Henry said. While he said he wouldn’t act to hinder improvements, he said he likes the quality of life he’s found there.

FAUQUIER FARMING
The forest and the trees By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
Camellia Blackwell-Taffel, owner of the 73-acre Camp Camellia Tree Farm in Goldvein, has been named the Virginia 2018 Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year by Virginia Tree Farm Foundation. She’ll receive the award on May 3 at the 2018 Virginia Forestry Summit at the Omni Hotel in Richmond. The farm has been in the Blackwell family since 1895. It was one of 26 tree farms recognized in late 2016 as a Virginia Century Forest, honoring families who have owned working forest lands for more than 100 years. In 2017, Blackwell-Taffel received a grant from Dominion Energy to install a footbridge over the ephemeral stream that runs through the property. This was done to improve access and to protect water quality. In addition, she regularly conducts outreach and education programs for both adults and youth, including the Virginia Tree Farm Foundation and local tree farmers. Blackwell-Taffel did not grow up with rural forestry, but she regularly visited her grandparents’ property in Fauquier County, and always loved the freedom and peace she found there. “Many times, during my youth I heard stories about a farm in the family where my great-grandfather and grandfather would go to hunt game,” she said. “But I only visited as a young adult, when I was 25. I found a lot of trees and evidence of wildlife all around. The birds were singing and there were tall trees blowing in the wind that looked beautiful to me.” The land was purchased by Blackwell-Taffel’s great-aunt Emma Carter, great-uncle Robert A. Blackwell, and cousin Moses Burton in 1895. She is now the fifth-generation African-American to own it. A deed dated 1901 references the 1895 purchase. In

CAMP CAMELLIA TREE FARM
Art, Nature, Wildlife & Technology Center 13766 Sillamon Road, Goldvein 410-302-5926 www.icadev.org cab@icadev.org 1926, her great aunt, Emma Carter, deeded the farm to her great grandfather, David I. Blackwell. In that very same year, he left it to his son, Reginald Blackwell. Then, Blackwell-Taffel purchased an interest in the farm in 1976 and began managing it with her father, Clarence David Blackwell, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Forestry in its Reforestation Program. The first forestry plan, of what would become three consecutive Forest Stewardship Management plans over the course of 36 years, was developed prescribing a clear cut and reforestation (replanting) with Loblolly Pine seedlings between 1980 and 1984. Over the course of her tenure, Blackwell-Taffel has consolidated several separately-owned parcels, had numerous management plans written and had a timber sale. Blackwell-Taffel has incorporated her career in art education in visits and workshops for children and summer camp programs. She also hosts tours for disabled veterans and created a scenic and accessible Veterans Trail at the farm. Representatives from the Virginia Department of Forestry, Virginia Extension Tech Horticulture Program and the Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA Medical Center in Washington have visited for tours, forestry workshops, technical training along with an organic peach tree planting demonstration “We spent the day working with Camellia, promoting tree farming and gardening, to veterans of all abilities through hands-on experience and education,” Juanita Ann Bailey, founding member of All Veterans
Camellia Blackwell-Taffel Garden noted. “All the veterans left with smiles on their faces.” “She’s the most enthusiastic and the most consistently active landowner I’ve had the pleasure of working with,” said Joe Rossetti, a senior area forester in Northern Virginia work area of the Virginia Department of Forestry. Susan Hillary, agriculture and natural resources teacher at Fauquier High School, has visited with her students for field trips in order for them to earn credit for the Future Farmers of America Club. Hillary said it was a “realistic experience for the students to see the management decisions and benefits of a forest management plan.” So, what’s next for this highly motivated woman who knows her way around the trees and through the forest? Well, this Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year will soon be nominated for American Tree Farm System regional and national OTFY awards. Stay tuned.

Iris Ann Nimmo
17
When attempting to gauge a very young child’s response to the death of a close family member, it is important to know that children between the ages of 3 and 5 years have little understanding of the irreversibility of death. Even when very young children are told about impending death ahead of time, they are still likely to ask when the deceased will return, weeks or months later. Once young children receive a concrete explanation of death, they are likely to display signs of grieving. Young children are also easily overwhelmed by the intense emotional reactions of those around them. With this in mind, we should remain very attentive to the emotional needs of very young children who are grieving. Children’s grief can manifest in many ways depending on their age, developmental stage and life experiences. Children often do a good job at grieving intensely for a time and then taking a break. Adults often mistake a child’s play as a sign that the child isn’t grieving, which is just not true.

Gravel grinding offers cyclists fitness and fun By Brian Larson
geometry and the tendency for the tires to be inflated to lower pressures. They can be a good all-purpose bicycle as useable for gravel grinding as for commuting; you can even ride some less challenging single-track mountain-bike trails. Features and capabilities are important considerations, as is price. The good news is that these bikes are affordable. A good entry-level gravel grinder will set you back less than $1,000. If you’ve shopped around for good quality bikes recently, this figure shouldn’t surprise you.
Bike Stop, Warrenton
In the cycling world, gravel grinding is the term cyclists’ use for putting bigger tires on bikes. Why put bigger tires on a bike? To make it more fun to ride on unpaved surfaces, of course! Road cyclists grind gravel in the winter months to keep up with their training demands. Others prefer gravel grinding over pavement at any time of the year because of the scenery and shady routes and because there’s less traffic.
How do I ride a gravel grinder?
There will be a learning curve but it’s not difficult. The way the bike handles on dirt and gravel is different from predictable paved surfaces. You just need to remember to not make sudden adjustments. Most gravel-grinding cyclists also tend to spin their pedals faster when they’re on gravel — the higher cadence improves traction and definitely helps on climbs.
What is a gravel grinder bike?
Combine a sturdy road frame with fatter tires or tires purpose-made for “off-road” travel and you’ve got a gravel grinder. Bicycle manufacturers have caught on to the trend and now offer specific models geared toward gravel grinding with frames, tires, and drivetrains all aimed at making these rides fun and adventurous. In some cases, manufacturers are making bikes that can do both road riding and gravel grinding, with a simple change of wheels to enable the cyclist to switch back and forth between the two. The frames of these bikes are built to withstand abuse, gearing is provided to make it less difficult to climb hills or ride across open fields, and tires are wider (or fatter) to keep the bike and its rider from sinking into soft surfaces. Disc brakes are pretty much standard due to their better stopping power in dirty and wet conditions. All this while still being reasonably fast and efficient and fun.
Where do I go around here to grind gravel?
Closer in to Warrenton, you’ll need to ride on paved surfaces to get to the good gravel roads. Pick the right ones and you can get several uninterrupted miles of gravel before you hit pavement again. In northern Fauquier, gravel roads are abundant. Some cyclists report riding almost all day on nothing but gravel.

Is a gravel grinder right for you?
Even if you’re a diehard road cyclist, a gravel grinder might make sense. You’ll be in a posture similar to road riding but in a somewhat more upright position. The bikes tend to be more comfortable due to their more relaxed

Winning with Grace and a Cross
Kettle Run’s Small scores 7 goals, Dani adds 11 saves vs. Brentsville By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Kettle Run’s best half this girls lacrosse season came at an opportune time. The Cougars scored 12 goals before halftime Thursday en route to a 16-8 win over Brentsville during Kettle Run’s first Class 4 Region B game. “When you’ve got that kind of energy, you need to roll with it,” said Kettle Run coach Joanie DeGoosh, whose team led at halftime, 12-2. So the Cougars (3-5) broke a fivegame winning streak for Brentsville (6-3). “We kept our intensity and did not let it get into our heads too much,” Kettle Run senior Maria Sturges said of overcoming the Tigers’ recent success. “We kept a clean mind. … We came in strong as we always try to do.” The Cougars required only 11 seconds to score their first goal. Mary O’Toole won the opening draw, ran down the middle of the field and beat the Tigers’ goalie. Sturges then converted a Grace Small pass exactly three minutes later. Following Brentsville’s first goal,

Small scored four consecutive goals with one assists from Sturges for a 6-1 lead. Small scored two more goals before halftime with one each from Sturges, O’Toole and Julia Robertson. Then Small began the second half with another goal to give her a gamehigh seven, but Brentsville mounted consistent pressure for the first time to cut its deficit to 13-6 with 13 minutes, 45 seconds remaining. So DeGoosh called a timeout. “When halftime came, it’s a break in momentum,” she said. “We plateaued out. … But when we needed to get the job done, we got the job
done.” O’Toole broke Kettle Run’s scoreless drought of 12:17 with a goal assisted by Sturges. So O’Toole finished with four goals, while Sturges and Jillian Bennett had two each. Sturges played her first full game after missing nearly three weeks due to illness. Her scoring, passing and midfield play strengthened the team, DeGoosh said. “I feel great,” Sturges said. “This is the first game there was no rust.” DeGoosh agreed. She “makes things happen,” the coach said. “It’s like chess, she’s a few moves ahead of our opponent.
“Not going to be worried for the rest of the season. If we play like this, we can take anybody.” -KETTLE RUN GOALIE DANI CROSS
“It’s hard to put into words,” DeGoosh said. “I’m just happy she’s feeling better.” Kettle Run also played well defensively after Brentsville dominated Culpeper, 25-15, April 19. The Tigers averaged 18.8 goals per game during their five-game winning streak, but they had not faced Cougars goalie Danielle Cross. “Dani had some awesome saves tonight,” DeGoosh said. “She has risen to the occasion and keeps getting stronger and stronger.” Cross finished with 11 saves, many coming from close range. “I was a little concerned, but I know we have a really tough team and work well together,” Cross said. “I’m really not going to be worried for the rest of the season. “If we play like this, we can take anybody,” she said.

Liberty’s Kestner tops Kettle Run’s Shorts in pitching duel By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Close games continue to be the norm for intra-county softball games in 2018. Liberty rallied to beat Kettle Run, 3-1, Wednesday in Nokesville after going scoreless for five innings. That followed an Eagles loss to Fauquier, 3-2, earlier this season with the Falcons also previously defeating the Cougars, 1-0. On Wednesday, Liberty and Kettle Run combined for only six hits, as Cougars pitcher Jordanna Shorts and Eagles pitcher Makaela Kestner stymied the opposing batters. Shorts recorded a career-high 16 strikeouts, allowing four hits, while Kestner fanned nine in a two-hit outing. FILE PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD “It’s a competitive district with good pitching,” Tori Hill, Kettle Pitcher Makaela Kestner struck out Run’s head coach, said. “As hitters, nine Thursday to help Liberty beat you try to be consistent through the Kettle Run, 3-1. lineup by constantly making adjustments against pitchers that good.” with six consecutive victories and a The Eagles later beat Millbrook, 3-2 mark in the Class 4 Northwestern 7-0, Thursday and Eastern View, 3-1, District before a 3-0 loss to Fauquier Friday. So they had an 8-2 record on Monday dropped those records,
while Kettle Run fell to 3-4 and 3-3. Liberty’s win over the Cougars helped kept it within striking distance of district leading James Wood. “I think we knew coming in it was an important game,” Anna Marie Hockman said. Washington, however, disagreed. “Just another game,” she said. “Our two [district] losses came off of spring break. The girls will bounce back from that.” On Wednesday, Liberty trailed entering the top of the sixth inning, 1-0, but then Hockman came to the plate having accounted for the Eagles’ only hit with a first-inning single. In her sixth-inning at bat, she slammed a 3-1 pitch to the right-center field fence for a triple. “It helps the first time through to get our timing down,” Hockman said of facing Shorts in three at bats. “Just wait on it and drive it somewhere; make contact.” Kestner was the next hitter. She struck out in her first plate appearances. “I was being selective, but I was thinking about it a little too much,”
Kestner said of those at bats. In her third at bat, she delivered a long opposite-field fly ball down the right-field line that hit just shy of the 225-foot sign. “She’s a good pitcher,” Kestner said of Shorts, “and I was trying to wait on whatever she was going to throw.” Hockman scored easily to tie the score, 1-1. The speedy Kestner rounded second and coach Ryan Washington signaled her home. She crossed the plate just as a throw entered the infield. Kettle Run then went three up, three down in its sixth inning and Liberty added a run in the seventh on an error after Amy Sheenhan walked, Kaci Henrick singed and Morgan Hatcher walked. The Cougars scored their lone run in the bottom of the fifth inning when Jeanelle Johnson beat out a slow roller to the hole at shortstop, advanced on a Shorts sacrifice bunt and crossed the plate on a throwing error. “It all comes down to making the adjustments, and the timing of those adjustments,” Hill said of scoring only one run. “It’s hard.”

runs April 17 for their first setback in Class 4 Northwestern District play. “It was huge to get that win, especially playing away,” Fauquier coach Marl Ott said. “We needed to get some confidence because we knew Sherando had beaten James Wood and we knew Kettle Run had beaten Sherando. “We really didn’t know what to expect,” he said. Sherando “had 25 hits against Skyline, who we know has a decent pitcher.” Fauquier also beat Liberty, 3-0, on Monday to give it a 7-3 record. James Wood leads the district at 6-1, followed by Fauquier (4-1), Liberty (3-3), Sherando (3-2) and Kettle Run (3-3). Against the Warriors, Fauquier took control early. Zoe Ott led off the second inning with a slap single, using a Megan Harrington sacrifice bunt and a wild pitch to advance to third. She then scored on a Callaway Lee infield single. In the third inning, catcher Emily Turner hit a two-run home run that scored Lamper and raised the score to 3-0. Sherando responded with a tworun fourth, as two errors opened the door, but Fauquier regained a 5-2 lead with a two-run fifth. Megan Harrington’s RBI hit to right field scored Lamper before Presley Harris hit a sacrifice fly.

The Warriors scored twice in the bottom of the sixth only to fall short in the comeback bid. They finished with seven hits, drew three walks and had a hit batsman, but could not generate consistent pressure because Lamper struck out 15 hitters. “We shut down their big guns,” Ott said. The Warriors’ No. 2-5 batters combined for only two hits with eight strikeouts. For Fauquier, Ashley Renzi and Lee had two hits each. The Falcons also scored first against James Wood with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Turner produced an opposite-field single to right to drive in Renzi (walked), and Turner scored on a Harrington sacrifice fly. James Wood scored four unearned runs in the fifth inning to erase the Falcons’ lead after the Colonels stranded five runners over the previous four innings. Rebecca Boone hit a sacrifice fly before pitcher Lani Spielman hit a three-run home run to center field for the lead. Fauquier appeared ready to retaliate in its half of the inning, loading the bases with no outs. But James Wood brought in its infield and ended the threat with two strikeouts. The Falcons finished the game with 11 strikeouts.

Heenan makes splash with 3 RBIs in Kettle Run win
After recent junior varsity call-up, Jake helps beat Liberty baseball, 10-4 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
portunity to take the lead after they used a hit-by-pitch, an error and a base-on-balls to load the bases with no outs. Then Rubio hit a deep fly ball to the left-center field gap. But a potential three-run double turned into a simple sacrifice fly and Kettle Run starting pitcher Joe Vogatsky later finished the inning with two consecutive strikeouts to maintain the Cougars’ lead at 6-4. “I’ve been in a lot of situations like that,” Vogatsky said. “Just don’t over-think; don’t try to throw too hard. Just hit your spots and you’ll be fine.” Yet Rubio’s swing did worry Vogatsky. “I was thinking to myself, ‘Please catch it. Please catch it,’” Vogatsky said of the ball eventually secured by Brooks, Kettle Run’s center fielder. “He made the catch and … after that, smooth sailing.” Vogatsky finished with seven strikeouts while allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and one walk over seven innings. Liberty’s Drew Leach accounted for three of those hits. A senior right fielder hitting third in the Eagles’ batting order, Leach went 3-for-3 with two runs and two doubles, while catcher Logan Rodney went 1-for-4 with two runs.
Jake Heenan’s fourth game as Kettle Run’s starting catcher went swimmingly. He led the Cougars with three RBIs during a 10-4 victory Wednesday over the Liberty Eagles only three weeks after being called up from Kettle Run’s junior varsity baseball team. That promotion happened after a shoulder injury suffered by Jacob Gladstone, the Cougars’ typical varsity catcher who head coach Ty Thorpe expects to soon returning to Kettle Run’s lineup.

Depth leads Fauquier’s boys to another track title By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Two weeks equaled two titles for Fauquier’s boys track team. The Class 4 Falcons narrowly beat Class 5 John Champe, 79.5-78, Friday to win the Wolverine Classic Track Invitational after also winning the Handley Invitational on April 14. Depth once again helped Fauquier against the 22-school field Friday in Purcellville. The Falcons scored in 15 events to compensate for only one gold medal, two silver and three bronze. A crucial 35.5 points came from athletes who placed fourth-eighth. Kettle Run finished 10th in the boys standings with 28 points on two wins and one second thanks to two athletes. Fauquier’s girls placed fourth out of 21 teams with 58 points. They won three events and took third in two others, while Loudoun County and Woodgrove tied for the title at 75 points. Multiple Fauquier athletes competed in events considered unusual for them.

Kettle Run’s Mateo Barreto (1) and Fauquier’s Nick Mathews (2) battle during the 1,600-meter run Friday at the Wolverine Classic in Purcellville. “They still came through with points,” Falcons coach Quentin Jones said. “We didn’t score as many points in some events as we expected, but others stepped up to compen-
sate. “It was a solid day for us,” he said. Cougars sophomore Mateo Barreto was the county’s most successful performer. He won the 1,600-me-
ter run in 4:27.38 and won the 800 in 2:01.1 with teammate Max McManus placing second in 2:03.12. Patrick Atwell won Fauquier’s lone boys championship, running the 400 in 50.08 seconds. He also placed third in the triple jump at 41 feet, 9.25 inches and took sixth in the long jump (19-1). Nick Matthews finished second in the 1,600 (4:28.35) and 3,200 (9:53.57), while Dakari Mullins took third in the 200 (23.27), and the 400 relay team took third (45.11) For the Fauquier girls, Kayla Pavlock won the shot put in 35-6 and placed fourth in the discus at 10110. Hannah Holland won the 800 at 2:21.3 and joined Meredyth Rankin, Kelsey Gastley and Elise Fernandez to win the 1,600 in 4:14.53. Gastley also ran to third in the 400 (1:01.97) and in the 3,200 relay with Annie DelGallo, Katelynn Argo and Bianca Cabral (10:27.47). Shelby Rosenberger placed fourth in the 1,600 (5:36.9). Also placing fourth for the boys were the 1,600 relay (3:39.67) and 3,200 relay (8:9.81).
Surprise illness takes out legs of Falcons’ ladder in girls tennis By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The tennis ladder is a delicate ingredient in a high school team’s success. Missing just one person can dam-
age a squad’s fortune, as the Fauquier girls discovered last week. The Falcons battled Sherando twice in a three-day span and lost, 5-4 on the road in Winchester on April 18 and
8-1 at home on Friday, which may have determined the No. 2 and 3 seeds for the Class 4 Northwestern District postseason tournament. Handley is considered the prohibitive favorite to win the regular-season crown with the Falcons and Warriors on the next tier. Sherando took control of the coveted second slot by sweeping Fauquier. Falcons coach Rob Deavers had a positive outlook when they journeyed to Sherando, and the early singles results supported his optimism, but now Fauquier has only a 5-2 record with consecutive losses. An unusual circumstance shifted the flow mid-match. Kiki Scott, playing third in the lineup, led her match, 6-4, when she became ill. She continued to play but fell, 9-8 (9-7), in a tiebreaker to Madilyn Woolever despite showing grit, and she sat out doubles play. Each county school has a seven-passenger van used for transportation to away matches. A coach and six players are the only team members who can travel, so the illness forced Fauquier to forfeit the No. 1 doubles matches with only five available players. “Instead of being up 4-2 after
singles and needing just one point, it was 3-3,” Deavers said. “You lose one that’s normally in the lineup, it can break it up very quickly.” No. 4 Evie Leary downed Kaitlyn Duncan, 8-2, while No. 5 Sophie Bartholomaus beat Emily Loy, 9-7, and No. 6 Mel Turner beat Adelaide Gannon, 8-4. Sherando’s Kathryn Robertson won the top singles match, 8-0, from Walker Evans, and Warriors No. 2 Alexa Venaturato won, 8-1, over Jennifer Adgate. Evans and Leary won the No. 2 doubles match, 8-6, while Turner and Sophie Bartholomaus lost the No. 3 match, 8-2. Scott still was not available Friday for the rematch in Warrenton, and Sherando took advantage again. Fauquier’s lone point came from Leary, an 8-3 winner. “It’s always a nuisance when anyone is not healthy,” Deavers said. “It’s just the element of surprise and how you adapt.” Yet he hopes to surprise the Warriors if they meet again in the district tournament after several of his players showed improvement Friday despite the score. “They haven’t seen us at full strength,” he said. Evie Leary had a hand in three of Fauquier’s five victories during a pair of matches against Sherando last week. FILE PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

Doyle keys late triple with Gwathmey stunner Saturday’s ‘Super’ for timber winner at 98th Middleburg meet By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
For a guy who nearly had a horse sit on him Saturday afternoon, Jack Doyle was pretty cheerful recapping his banner day at the Middleburg Spring Races. “Not a bad one, was it?” was the rhetorical question from the current leading jockey. “Yeah, the one slipup, but the rest of it was spot-on.” Doyle, 28, booted home Bob Kinsley’s Lyonell to stun in the headliner, the $75,000 grade 2 Temple Gwathmey hurdle stake. The German-bred Lyonell was dismissed by the handicapper at 140 – 18 pounds less than last year’s leading earner, and 2015 Gwathmey winner, Mr. Hot Stuff, at highweight; and 16 less than Eclipse runner-up All The Way Jose. But, as winning trainer Elizabeth Voss put it, “that’s why we have handicaps.” Off smartly from the flag, Doyle settled Lyonell off the early pace of All the Way Jose. Lyonell picked off rivals along the Glenwood Park backstretch last time around, looming outside late leader Mercoeur (Shane Crimin) at the last. Lyonell took off long and landed running, Doyle said, holding off a stout challenge from Zanjabeel (Ross Geraghty) in deep stretch.

Lyonell ran the Temple Gwathmey’s 2 1/2 miles in 5:34.40. Atop the leaderboard with seven wins five weeks into the season, Tipperary native Doyle also connected a race later with the Jonathan Sheppard-trained Really Ready in the maiden. But Doyle said the card closer will stand out as the meet highlight. He partnered Andi’amu for owners Tom and Roxanne Collins and trainer Leslie Young. The Frenchbred was making his first cross-country steeplechase start after a winning career over hurdles, lining up in the 2 5/8-mile Alfred Hunt to face an elite group of veterans, including two previous race winners. “He was brilliant over the timber fences,” Doyle said. “And bold to the [big, natural] hedges. I let him have a look; he was jumping well.” The smallest obstacle on the course – a 2-foot high board fence fronting a shallow water jump – nearly proved Andi’amu’s undoing. “He bunny-hopped it,” Doyle explained, saying his horse studied the downhill approach as the field neared race midpoint. “I think he saw the water, and saw the downhill landing, and just lifted everything.” Andi’amu landed hind feet first, cavalry horses. The talk begins at 5 p.m. Purchased in 1911, the remount was a staging station for the Army’s war horse and war dog training and breeding program until 1948. When the horse-mounted cavalry disbanded after World War II, the center was repurposed as a breeding center for the Smithsonian Zoo.

leaping up into a near-rear to re-balance. In the middle of a pack of racing horses, it was horrifying to watch, though Doyle said it looked worse than it felt. “Glad I had hold of the [breastplate’s] neckstrap,” Doyle said with a laugh. “I didn’t realize how bad it was ’til I saw the photo.” The pair threaded through the field over the next mile, moving to lead inside at the sharp bend into deep stretch. Cognashene loomed outside at the wire, but Andi’amu held tough. “I’m giving him a week at the horse spa. He earned it, and he might need it, after that kind of athletic performance,” said trainer Young, who dropped Andi’amu off at Bruce Jackson’s equine therapy center at Fair Hill, Maryland, on her way home to Pennsylvania. “He’ll get Magnawave massage, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, time on the vibrating floor.

O’Saben reaches 100-hit milestone By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Fauquier’s Blaze O’Saben reached the 100-hit milestone Monday with three hits that helped the Falcons rally and beat Liberty, 4-3, at home in Warrenton. The senior, a University of Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC) recruit, also likely solidified his status as one of Fauquier’s career hit leaders, if not No. 1 all-time. The Falcons trailed after four innings, 3-2, but O’Saben helped them finish strong with runs in the fifth and sixth innings. So Fauquier improved its record to 10-4 overall and 5-2 in the Class 4 Northwestern District, while the Eagles fell to 4-7 and 2-3. Troy Smith’s two RBIs helped the Falcons take the lead Monday, while Dennis Minter gave the Falcons a solid 5 1/3 innings on the mound. He struck out six while Liberty’s Logan Rodney struck out five over five innings in the nearly-even pitching duel. Minter allowed only four hits and zero walks to earn the edge. Carson McCusker pitched 1 2/3 innings without allowing a hit or walk while striking out one. He also had one RBI offensively. The Falcons’ win sealed a regular season sweep over the rival Eagles after also defeating Liberty, 9-4, on April 6.

Fauquier goalie A.J. Adan had 27 saves Monday during a 16-11 victory over Brentsville despite not playing the final six minutes.
Adan switches to autosave mode for Fauquier win over Brentsville Goalie makes 27 stops in Falcons’ 16-11 victory By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Goal scorers often grab the attention, but teams always welcome a hot goalkeeper. So although eight Fauquier Falcons scored Monday, A.J. Adan found the limelight instead with 27 saves as their goalie during a 16-11 victory over Brentsville’s girls lacrosse team at home in Warrenton. The Tigers, trailing 6-2, mounted a lengthy assault with attackers driving toward Fauquier’s goal and drawing fouls. The officials often awarded free-position shots to Brentsville, frequently leaving Adan in one-on-one situations. But she came up with six stops against those shots. “I knew I had to make some big saves,” said Adan, a senior committed to Virginia Wesleyan University. “No one expects you to stop” free-position shots. But “I look at the way their body is angled,” she said. “I look at their eyes. That’s usually a big thing. … That can tell you where they are going to shoot.” Brentsville narrowed its deficit to 7-5 by halftime, but the Tigers easily could have taken the lead without Adan’s prowess on those penalty shots. So Fauquier elevated its Class 4 Region B record to 2-1 with a 4-4 mark overall, while the Tigers fell to 1-2 and 6-4. “This was a very big win for us,” Falcons coach Ken McInnis said. “It’s two in a row.” Brentsville did threaten that achievement in the second half, though. Fauquier built a 14-8 lead, but an odd circumstance re-inflated the Tigers’ sails. Officials gave Adan her second yellow card of the night with 6 minutes, 4 second remaining, making her ineligible for the reminder of the game. Fauquier does not have a backup goalie, so defensive wing Abbi Findley hastily suited up and went into the crease. Plus, Fauquier was a player short for the duration of the two-minute penalty. Sarala Grayson-Funk alleviated some of the team’s angst by sprinting down the right hash mark past two de-

fenders before unleashing a shot into the upper-right corner of the net. The short-handed score widened Fauquier’s lead to 15-8 with 5:06 remaining. “I wanted to get that score. I was just determined to win,” said Grayson-Funk, a sophomore who finished with four goals. “Just being in a tough situation and being able to step up” felt good. Early in the first half, the Falcons took a 3-0 lead with a goal by Grayson-Funk and two by Carleigh Cordova. Payton O’Hara then scored twice and Grayson-Funk added one to give the Falcons a 6-2 lead with nine minutes remaining in the first half. “It was a good solid start,” McInnis said. “We were passing the ball around.” Fauquier scored four consecutive goals to start the second half with O’Hara striking only 45 seconds in. Grayson-Funk then assisted Yvie Frazier for back-to back scores and a 10-5 advantage. Grayson-Funk then notched her third assist with a rocket pass across the crease to a wide open Zoe Savage with 14:02 left in the game. Brentsville finally broke Fauquier’s scoring streak, but the Falcons’ Ella Irvin and Lakyn Harlow responded with scores to elevate the margin to 13-6. “What I like is we don’t have a designated shooter. Any of those girls can shoot,” McInnis said. “That opens up the game more, and that bodes well for a good team.” Previously, on Thursday, Fauquier defeated Culpeper, 12-5, with eight girls scoring. O’Hara and Cordova recorded hat tricks, while Anna Petty, Savage, Madison Filson, Grayson-Funk, Irvin and Harlow each had goal one. Cordova, Grayson-Funk and Jamie Renzi added two assists apiece, while O’Hara and Savage each had one. “Love that eight of the goals were off of assists,” McInnis said. Adan collected 13 saves.

ALICE FELTS WARRENTON 540-349-0037 Warrenton.news@gmail.com Those in attendance at First Friday can also view the installation of the Fauquier Yarn Bombing on Main Street Warrenton. Yarn bombing is a street art in which residents donate their colorful creations of 10-inch by 10-inch squares, made of knitted, crocheted or woven material, to be placed on trees and inanimate objects. For those interested in this unique way to decorate the environment, you may drop off your completed squares with either downtown merchants Sandra Packwood at Dejavu or Kelly Ann Richardson at Kelly Ann’s Quilting. For more information and a look at photos demonstrating various trimmings, search for “Yarn bombing” in Facebook groups. May 5 is also a busy day for those interested in attending the Virginia Gold Cup.

Birthday wishes to some special folks this week: Doug Johnson (the official OVFRD person who accepts your money with a smile at fire company events), Donn Smith,
Sandy Herndon Minor, Cayden King (granddaughter of Alice and Herman King), Nicole Hutt, Marietta Hyson, Kenton Kerns, Omarion Brandt-Pinner, Georgiana Moore, Ian Loch and Susan Douglass. We hope that each one has or had a wonderful day with family and friends. We note, with sadness, the passing of Virginia Copeland, our fellow columnist at the Fauquier Times. Virginia was loved and respected by her family, friends, neighbors and especially by the members of the Catlett Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department where she was a lifetime member and chaplain. She took on the job of “keeping Catlett up with the news” after the death of longtime writer, Jill Orndorff. She attended many meetings, helped with many area events, cared for her husband during his final illness and contributed to all in so many ways. Bless you, sweet lady, we will miss you!
