State cancels hearing on controversial election flyers — for now By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

COURTESY PHOTO

The Virginia State Board of Elections Monday canceled a hearing on complaints filed against the group that distributed campaign flyers and made robocalls in the days leading up to the May 1 Warrenton election because the town’s population may be too small to fall under the board’s jurisdiction. According to state code, campaign-finance reporting rules apply only in jurisdictions with populations of at least 25,000. Warrenton’s population is about 9,900. A May 21 hearing in Richmond was to have considered claims that Fauquier Voters For Truth was not

registered as a political action committee when it distributed flyers and made calls urging voters to cast their ballots for incumbent Town Councilman Sean Polster and newcomer Renard Carlos, both of whom won. The flyers also urged voters to defeat Vice Mayor Linda “Sunny” Reynolds, at large. Reynolds received 500 votes in the election, losing to Carlos, who received 998 votes, and Polster, who was the top vote-getter with 1,125. Arielle Schneider, a Virginia Department of Elections attorney, said the state board needs more time to examine the law and whether it applies to Warrenton. “Although the complaints are no longer scheduled to be heard at

[Monday’s] board meeting, please be assured that a careful review will ensue, and the hearing rescheduled to one of the upcoming State Board of Elections meetings if appropriate,” Schneider wrote in an email to Tony Tedeschi, a Reynolds supporter who filed one of the complaints. Chris Bonner, who formed Fauquier Voters for Truth, said his group complied with state law and would welcome a hearing on the matter. “Fauquier Voters for Truth LLC PAC will have the opportunity to demonstrate that it did not violate any campaign laws or regulations. Our filings and reports were timely and complete,” Bonner said in a text message.

New tower for cell, broadband moves forward in Goldvein By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A request for a special permit to construct a monopole for cellular and broadband service received the backing of the Fauquier County Planning Commission on Thursday though its height could be shortened from the 195 feet requested. Calvert Crossland and Verizon Wireless want to erect a monopole on a site off Rivenoak Lane in Goldvein that’s a half-mile away from the county’s Monroe Park. Va. 615, or Rock Run Road, is the nearest major thoroughfare. The county requires a special exception permit for towers exceeding 80 feet in height.

A life-long passion for animals Devon Settle grew up in Fauquier County and has devoted her life to caring for animals of any kind since she was 4 years old and discovered her pet cat outside shivering in the snow. She lived just outside Warrenton at Chatterbox Farm, once the home of her grandfather, Wesley Dennis. Although she never knew her grandfather — the artist and illustrator best known for his enchanting images of Misty of Chincoteague and 15 other books by Marguerite Henry — Settle was certainly influenced by his adoration of animals. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Georgia. She then decided to continue her education at Northern Virginia Community College in Sterling and earned an additional two-year degree as a veterinarian technician.

FAUQUIER FOCUS The young animal-lover took her first job at Pender Vet Clinic in Fairfax and next went to work caring for the animals at Sandy Lerner’s Ayrshire Farm in Upperville. Settle eventually returned to the Warrenton area and worked for Dr. Elaine Lutz at Piedmont Pets for 15 years. In May 2016, Settle joined the Fauquier SPCA as deputy director and a year ago was named executive director. She oversees the staff, occasionally assists in surgeries and is always watching over the welfare of

Devon Settle the animals at the facility. “I also attend community events,” she said, “and I really like to go to the schools and talk about what we do at the shelter.” The 11-acre facility, on Rogues

Road near Casanova, has three main sections. “There’s a no-kill shelter and an animal control center for lost or stray animals,” she said. “This once included a stray peacock and a miniature cow. We also have a surgery center and offer low- and no-cost spay and neuter services.” In 2016, the shelter adopted out 423 cats and 330 dogs, meanwhile 21 cats and 264 dogs reunited with their owners. A total of 1,470 cats and dogs were spayed and neutered in 2016. All animals adopted from the shelter are sterilized, vaccinated and micro-chipped. The shelter also offers spay and neuter services to other organizations and the public. “The best part of my day is when everything goes right, and I know I helped or saved an animal,” she said. “I love Fauquier County and all the animals.” — Vicky Moon

Land Trust of Virginia honors Mars, Smith at annual ‘garden party’ By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

The Land Trust of Virginia welcomed more than 350 guests to its 20th annual “Garden Party to Save Virginia’s Countryside” Sunday at Peace and Plenty at Bollingbrook, the spectacular Upperville estate owned by Rose Marie Bogley. Two of Fauquier County’s most conservation-minded landowners, Jacqueline Mars and Mike Smith, were honored at the event. Mars was named “Conservationist of the Year for Leadership and Lifetime Achievement,” and Smith was named “Landowner of the Year.” Catherine Tucker of Hanover County was named “steward of the year.” Last September, Mars, a co-owner of the Mars candy company, put her 200-plus acre Meredyth Farm in The Plains under perpetual protection with the Land Trust of Virginia. Meredyth Farm contains 1,620 feet of frontage along Little River, which is part of the Goose Creek, Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay watersheds. The property is made up of 55 acres of forest and about 155 acres of open fields. It has 86 acres of “prime farmland soils” and 72 acres

of “soils of statewide importance,” as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There also are four historic features listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. These include the remnants of the Kenton House (circa 1775) with a domestic outbuilding, dry stack stone walls and two small grave sites. Smith, president of the Upperville Horse Show who lives off the Atoka Road near Middleburg, last October placed 350 acres of land known as Atoka Farm into conservation easement through the Land Trust of Virginia. The property located between Middleburg and Upperville, once was owned by former Virginia Sen. John Warner, where he married the late actress Elizabeth Taylor in December 1976. A Winchester native and businessman, Smith also owns and now lives with his wife, Wendy, at Poplar Grange, a 103-acre farm just across Atoka Road from Atoka Farm. Poplar Grange has already been placed in conservation easement through the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Smith purchased Atoka Farm in 2016 for $7.17 million. Previously, any owner of Atoka Farm had been

allowed 20 divisions of the property for single-family homes, meaning the possibility of significant development. Under the LTV easement, that number has now been reduced to three possible sites. The LTV Garden Party also included a silent auction and what was called a “wet paint” auction, “Painting for Preservation.” Artists created unique paintings from selected locations in the “Peace and Plenty” gardens. Guests bid on the art during the party to secure their opportunity to take a canvas home. The Garden Party is LTV’s major fundraising event of the year. The nonprofit LTV partners with private landowners who voluntarily protect and preserve properties with significant historic, scenic or ecological value. Peace and Plenty is a quintessential hunt country farm, consisting of an exquisitely renovated 1809 classic Southern plantation manor with rich architectural detail and an even richer history.

Planning commission OKs firearms training site in Goldvein Training facility geared toward law enforcement, first-responders By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A training facility may operate in Goldvein if suppressors are used to muffle the sound of gunfire and the number of firearms training days are limited. Those are a couple conditions suggested by county staff in reviewing the application for two special exceptions sought by NorthPoint Training to hold indoor and outdoor training for law enforcement and first-responders. The county planning commission recommended approval of the special exception following a public hearing on Thursday that drew neighbors complaining about the sound of gunfire already heard on the property. Words of support were also expressed by a neighbor who said she supported the mission of NorthPoint. The board of supervisors will have the final say on the matter following a public hearing of their own, which has yet to be scheduled. “The program is designed for those who are first on the scene, those who administer first aid and save lives,” John Brown, owner of the property at 13001 Sillamon Road in Goldvein, told the plan-

ning commission. “Many are special agents,” Brown said of others who use the facility for firearms training. NorthPoint will provide firearms training to those needing certification prior to deployment. Frangible, non-lead ammunition will be used. Ten to 12 people at a time will receive training. Those receiving medical training will be instructed on saving the lives of those shot or exposed to blasts or other trauma. Brown said he has a background in federal law enforcement and as a deputy with the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office. Brown said he has been running a similar facility in West Virginia. He has owned the property in Goldvein for some time. He said he wants to ramp up its use as a training facility in response to the federal government’s need to provide security for embassies abroad. Brown’s statement of justification notes the proximity of the 163 acres in Goldvein to the D.C. region. Despite complaints and concerns from neighbors about noise and safety, Brown said he’ll run an operation that’s “quiet and non-disturbing to the environment.”

Ken Yeick of Scaring Eagle Road said he works from home and is on the phone with clients day and night because some are abroad. He said he was “not quite convinced” that the limitations on live-fire exercises and noise suppressors will do the job. He was also concerned about the possible impact on the value of his property by having a firearms training facility nearby. He was followed by Phyllis Giroux of Blackwells Mill Road in Goldvein who said during the public hearing that she thought the shooting would not be excessive and that it would take place on land that’s heavily wooded and set back from the road. NorthPoint would be “training [people] in defense of America,” she said. John Meadows, the planning commission’s Lee District representative, said he wanted a ban on automatic weapons added as a condition. Center District Supervisor Ken Alm said, “safety is the paramount thing.” “If they would ask to expand, that’s when it’s looking more like a range and then we’d have to make sure nothing leaves the property,” Alm said. When it comes to keeping NorthPoint in check, Alm told the neighbors assembled for the hearing that “we’re relying on you to

monitor and inform us.” The conditions proposed limit the number of training events to two per month. They are not to be held on weekends or after 5 p.m. weekdays. Large-scale events for a maximum of five people, can be held three times per year. Use of the shooting range is limited to two hours for regular training events and four hours for large scale events. Explosions aren’t permitted. There is 40-by-80-foot metal building on the property. NorthPoint plans to add a 30-by-80-foot expansion. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

State cancels hearing on controversial election flyers — for now FLYERS from page 1 The group was not registered as a PAC when the flyers were distributed but did register as such within 10 days of the activity, as required by state law. In 2014, the Warrenton Town Council agreed candidates for town offices should comply with state election laws in an effort to ensure transparency of campaign donations. Outgoing Mayor Powell Duggan, who publicly objected to the flyers and calls, said the council’s intent was to follow the state’s campaign-finance reporting requirements. “The focus was on requiring our candidates to report contributions made to their campaigns. The goal was to give more information to the public regarding which individuals or groups were supporting a particular candidate financially,” Duggan said in an email. Fauquier County Supervisor Chris Granger, who also filed a complaint and backed Reynolds in the campaign, said state officials informed him they were reviewing the case and will schedule another hearing “if the town’s ordinance is deemed to apply to PAC’s advertising in council elections.” Granger (Center) said he hoped the new town council “will quickly apply any and all [state] open-money rules to future town elections.” Granger said that Bonner, as a

“My objection is with the PAC not following openmoney rules and reporting where their money came from. Mr. Bonner and his supporters essentially brought dark money politics to Warrenton. This is ironic, as transparency was a major theme of this election.”

CHRIS GRANGER Fauquier County Supervisor

member of the Fauquier County Democratic Committee and other groups involved with political campaigns, should be aware of the state’s campaign finance rules. “Mr. Bonner was staffing the FCDC tent, handing out flyers for [congressional candidate] Leslie Cockburn, so his ignorance-of-therules defense is hard to reconcile. It is also interesting to note he has registered his PAC with the [state], but has not reported any money yet,” Granger said. Bonner, however, said Fauquier Voters for Truth reported to the state Department of Elections that it paid $850 to Sage Agents of Winchester and received a total of $900 in donations from National Administrative Services in Warrenton. Warrenton attorney Scott Hook is the registered agent for the entity. Attempts to reach him for comment Tuesday were not successful. Granger accused Bonner of bringing “dark money” into Warrenton elections. “My objection is with the PAC

not following open-money rules and reporting where their money came from,” Granger said in an email. “Mr. Bonner and his supporters essentially brought dark money politics to Warrenton. This is ironic, as transparency was a major theme of this election.” Duggan said he was more concerned about the robocalls than the flyers because the flyers stated who authored the notes. One side of the flyer was a letter from former town council candidate Keith Macdonald to the Fauquier County registrar announcing his withdrawal from the race and urging that Polster and Carlos be elected, and Reynolds defeated. The other side was a letter from former Warrenton Councilman Yakir Lubowsky, urging the same. In the case of the flyer, Duggan said, “The public could judge whether or not to give credence to the opinions based upon who was rendering them.” Duggan said the robocalls were less clear about who was behind them.

IN MEMORY

“My initial concern with the robocalls was as to funding. If a group was trying to help candidates, I felt that the public should know more about the entity trying to give support,” Duggan said in an email. “These calls simply informed the public that the election was the next day, clarified that voters could vote for two candidates and accurately stated that others and I were enthusiastically supporting Mr. Polster and Mr. Carlos. All of these statements were true,” Duggan added. “Nevertheless, I wish the laws had required that the entity paying for these calls identify its members.” Lubowsky was a member of the town council when it voted to follow the state’s election rules and said it was not clear the council would have to take additional action to ensure the rules were enforced. “None of us on council voting adoption of the resolution were aware that this was additionally necessary (certainly I was not),” he said. Duggan suggested that the council should move on now that the election has been decided. “We are bombarded by opinions, some based on facts and some based on falsehoods. Our citizens are smart; they can discern the difference,” Duggan said. “We should move forward knowing that the candidates whom we elected will serve our town well.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Grasping at solutions to school gun violence The nation was left reeling once again this week after another spasm of gun violence left nine students and one substitute teacher dead, and another 10 people wounded, including an armed police officer who walked the halls of Santa Fe High School in Texas. According to news reports, the adults in charge of Santa Fe High thought the school was better prepared than most to deal with the country’s horrific epidemic of gun violence. Like so many public schools, Santa Fe High had an “active shooter” plan. It employed two armed officers to protect its 1,400 students, and school division officials agreed, last fall, to eventually arm willing teachers as “school marshals.” In so doing, the school division became one of more than 170 in Texas to take such a step. Still, it wasn’t enough. The fatal shooting, coming in the final OUR VIEW weeks of the school year, capped what should be considered an utterly unfathomable year of violence in the nation’s schools. News reports used the event to repeat the awful statistics:

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES Photographed in April 1963 at his 400acre Bell Air Farm at Warrenton, World War I veteran John Benner raised Hampshire hogs. These animals were destined for sale at the newly-opened Fauquier Livestock Exchange near Marshall.

• It was the 16th school shooting of the 2017-18 academic year; • 29 people have died in school gun violence since the academic year began, more than the number of U.S. service members killed around the globe; • Since the 1999 Columbine shooting, school gun violence has killed 141 children and educators and left another 284 injured; • Santa Fe High marked the third school shooting to happen just this month; • Since 1999, 214,000 students have experienced gun violence at school. Let us repeat those last two words: At school. Given this reality, we can’t blame our local school boards and boards of supervisors for scrambling to do something to try to prevent or at least mitigate the damage that could occur if one of our own schools fell victim to gun violence. In Fauquier County, the supervisors recently agreed to spend more than $766,000 to add 15 new school security positions, including three sworn sheriff’s department deputies and 12 “school security specialists,” retired or former law-enforcement officers that meet Virginia’s new criteria for armed civilian guards in schools. The plan aims to eventually place an armed guard in each of Fauquier County’s 20 public schools, and, as such, is likely one of the most aggressive efforts in the state. Whether the additional guards will make a difference is not known and might never be known. More armed guards may or may not be the most effective way for our schools to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars. In our haste to do something, there’s been little time to discuss the best ways to make our schools safer. Neighboring Prince William County is hiring five armed security guards while also taking other steps. It agreed last month to spend $1 million on safety improvements for school buildings and will also spend an additional $1.2 million to hire 12 more social workers and three more school psychologists in an effort to help more troubled students. Such investments are laudable. But will they keep our kids safe? We don’t know. One thing we’re lacking regarding the scourge of school gun violence is information. According to the Washington Post, the federal government does not track school shootings. That’s why the newspaper took it upon itself this year to conduct an in-depth analysis of school shootings. Among its findings: More than 85 percent of school shooters used guns obtained from their own homes or those of friends or relatives to shoot their classmates. Perhaps the surest way to prevent gun violence is for gun owners — especially parents—to secure their weapons.

75 Years Ago May 27, 1943 John C. Butler Jr., son of Lt. Col. and Mrs. John C. Butler of Rectortown, received his wings and his commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Saturday at Corpus Christi, Texas. Lt.

Susan Bartenstein, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bartenstein of Warrenton, has been elected business manager of Periscope, the campus newspaper at Coker College, Hartsville, S.C., where she is a rising sophomore. 25 Years Ago May 26, 1993 Fauquier County lost a noted education advocate with the death of C. Hunter Ritchie. Mr. Ritchie, 81, died May 25 at Warrenton Overlook Care Center. He worked diligently as a school board member from 1961 through 1989, spending many of those years as chairman. Help with planning and community services for the Town of Warrenton is on the way, Town Manager John Anzivino announced last week. Raymond Ocel has been hired as director of the Department of Planning and Community Development, filling the spot vacated by Dianne Taylor.

Response to Sunny Reynolds’ letter With the Warrenton elections well behind us — thankfully — and with good results throughout, I hesitate to respond formally to Sunny Reynolds’ letter in last week’s Times. But hers was a cynical attack on the First Amendment right of citizens to criticize elected officials… our core prerogative as Americans; and the community must feel always free to articulate its displeasure with our leaders, and to never be cowed. This right, like all others, should be exercised responsibly. I did, and offer now a few clarifications and closing thoughts: 1. I wrote two letters, a short one that appeared in Fauquier Now was also faithfully reproduced on approximately 1,200 leaflets (distributed lawfully in the spirit of the founding of our Republic); and a longer one which went viral through emails, and appears to have

been read by hundreds more. 2. Both letters only criticize Sunny’s conduct, not her personality, and by points detailed and supported in each case by examples. Readers of both my letter(s) and Sunny’s will notice that hers does not respond meaningfully to any of these censures. 3. Sunny dismisses my criticisms as simple animosity. Yet she points out herself that I worked with her at the town council and voted for her to be vice mayor. (Moreover, as many know, Sunny and I had cordial relations during most of our time as colleagues.) No, my letters are neither angry nor personal, as is evident from even a casual reading. The letters are substantive indictments of Sunny’s injudicious behavior.

her own energetic engagement as “fervent” or “spirited”; while that of others, especially men, as “bullying.” She plays this card whenever useful, for example forcing our colleague Sean Polster into an absurd “mediation” and bringing specious charges against candidate Keith MacDonald in court. The election is over, the voters have spoken (loudly), and we are better for it. If my effort was helpful in this regard, I am proud of it. In any case, I stand by every word I wrote (and signed the letters in my own name). The close of Sunny’s letter is gracious, and wishes our new leaders good fortune in their work. With that sentiment I agree enthusiastically.

Conservation easements, PDR Supervisors’ rehash old ‘myths’ program key to controlling growth about land-conservation tools Fifty years ago, Fauquier County was facing a development of 10,000 houses on the outskirts of Warrenton. One third of the county was set aside in “service districts” to accommodate a population that was expected to increase from 22,000 to 234,000 people by the year 2000. What happened? Today, Fauquier County’s population is 69,000. Fauquier’s farming industry is still intact and ranks about 11 out of 96 Virginia counties. Fauquier ranks No. 1 in the state in farmland permanently protected under conservation easements and farmland saved under the county’s purchase of development rights program. We have, through the efforts of smart, dedicated men and women who have served on our boards and commissions, avoided the fate of our closest neighbors, Prince William and lately Loudoun County. Fauquier recognized, early

on, that the key to protecting our school system and our real estate tax base was in controlling population growth. The snowball effect of a rapidly rising population causing rapidly rising property taxes which overnight could cause farms to turn into subdivisions in a never-ending spiral. That is what happened in Prince William and is happening today in Loudoun. Through conservation easements and the purchase of development rights program, one quarter of Fauquier’s farmland has been preserved forever, assuring that our children will continue to have a school system that is not overrun by growth and that all of us will continue to have a quality of life that makes this county such a special place.

This Marine wants to call attention to the plight of our veterans, and to bring us all to the reality that one vet commits suicide on average, every 65 minutes. Twenty-two perish per day. We need to be aware, and most of all, care. Locally, the Fauquier Court House Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution became aware of this statistic, and of Terry’s goal to make people aware. We have pledged to give him moral support and cheer him on, meeting up with him at the Old Town Warrenton Spring Festival May 19, 2018. We will gather near the steps of the Fauquier Courthouse on Main Street and wish him well on his journey. Terry will speak with anyone who wants to ask ques-

tions or wish him well at that time. He has agreed to make a little deviation of his walking path to touch base with us. We wish to issue an open invitation to all those who want to show support and provide a morale boost to Terry as he completes his sixth walk to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He will be laying a wreath there for Memorial Day. Vickie Burns Warrenton

“Don’t tax you. Don’t tax me. Tax that fella behind the tree.” — Russell B. Long (D-LA), legendary chairman of the U.S. Senate Finance Committee Sen. Long’s classic comment on the similarity of every taxpayer’s plea brings to mind our Fauquier County Board of Supervisors’ never-ending arguments over the details of Fauquier’s real estate tax regime. A May 10 supervisors’ work session on the county’s use-value system for assessing properties with demonstrable agricultural, horticultural, forestal or open space activity featured the all-too-predictable revival of two enduring myths about the fiscal impact of Fauquier’s commitment to tax policy favoring preservation of the county’s rural agricultural character. First, it was suggested that Fauquier’s town dwellers, most of whose properties are too small to qualify for the tax abatement plainly aimed at encouraging the perpetuation of rural uses, effectively subsidize the provision of county services to their agrarian counterparts. This argument might make some sense but for the fact that every one of the legal devices Fauquier provides for rural land protection — use-value assessments; agricultural and forest districts; conservation and non-common, open-space easements; and the Purchase of Development Rights program — specifically requires that the property owner’s house and 1 acre of surrounding land be assessed at “Letter to the Editor” to distinguish them from other messages not meant for publication.

their full and fair market value. In practical terms, given that most town lots are smaller than 1 acre in size, and many rural houses are larger than their more urban brethren, it could be reasonably argued that the obverse of this myth is closer to the truth. Second, it was opined that Fauquier’s aggressive utilization of tax-friendly rural land conservation devices reduces the share of state school funding the county receives pursuant to Virginia’s Local Composite Index formula. Because properties subject to a variety of easements are assessed at their lowered commercial value, while land subject to use-value tax treatment is assessed at fair market value under the LCI formula, the argument went, Fauquier appears to be more capable than it is of funding its public education needs. The problems with this argument are two-fold: First, the LCI formula is the bureaucratic result of a state law enacted by a General Assembly not famed for its solicitude toward local governments. Thus the chances for meaningful LCI change in the underlying statute are less than minimal. Second, real estate valuations are only one factor in an LCI formula that gives greater weight to the personal wealth of each locality’s citizens. Since Fauquier is the nation’s eighth-richest county, it is unlikely that it would receive a sympathetic legislative response to any protestations of fiscal incapacity. Happily, most of our current supervisors are smart enough to recognize the suicidal electoral implications of tinkering with rural land conservation-friendly tax-abatement devices now utilized by the owners of 70 percent of Fauquier’s 660 square miles of land area. Thus, for the foreseeable future, Sen. Long’s “fella behind the tree” is safe if he happens to live in this splendid county. Les Cheek Warrenton

No tickets lately? Old Town parking rules, enforcement in transition By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

If you haven’t gotten any parking tickets in Old Town lately, it could be because the police department’s parking enforcement officer resigned more than two months ago. But not to worry, the department is close to hiring a replacement officer to keep the enforcement — which had been averaging at more than 150 tickets a month — in place, according to Town Manager Brannon Godfrey. Retiring Warrenton Police Chief Lou Battle declined to say why the traffic enforcement officer, or TEO, as the position is called, resigned after about six months on the job. But in response to a reporter’s

query, Battle replied, “Parking is not being enforced to the extent needed.” On the other hand, Battle said parking enforcement “is fairly enforced, and parking spots are available to everyone.” In January the officer issued 197 tickets. The numbers were 187 in February and in 121 in March. Meanwhile, the Warrenton Town Council’s Public Safety Committee agreed last month to ask Godfrey to use his authority to extend parking limits on Main Street from one to two hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., a change Godfrey put in place this month. Part of the change included replacing signs along Main Street that errantly said the parking restrictions included Saturday. Parking limits are only enforced on the weekdays.

In addition to upgrading the Main Street signs, the town has been replacing the entry signs at the municipal parking lots to make them easier to read and understand. The new signs make just a few points, starting with a reminder that the lots are not for commuter parking. “We don’t need commuters taking up our valuable parking spaces all day long,” Ward 4 Councilman Robert Kravitz said at the committee’s meeting. “How we enforce it is another question, but we’ll leave that up to the police department.” Parking on the side streets will remain limited to two hours. Godfrey said hiring a new traffic enforcement officer should be finalized this week.

New tower for cell, broadband moves forward in Goldvein TOWER from page 1 CityScape, the county’s telecommunications consultant, concluded that the need for the tower in Goldvein is evident, but that a 145-foot tower would be tall enough. County staff recommended approval of the special exception but at the lower height. Calvert Crossland subsequently filed additional justification for a 195foot height. CityScape will review it and give an opinion before the supervisors act on the planning commission’s recommendation that the tower

be approved. A reduction from 195 feet to 145 feet would decrease the range from a five-mile radius to a three-mile radius, according to Charles Thomas, vice president of Omnipoint, a broadband provider that would have a presence on the new monopole. “We really need the height when people are more spread out” and to overcome foliage and topography, Thomas said. “When we start bringing it down, we lose houses.” “We want to make sure our coverage objectives are met,” said Barb Piv-

County approves deal to market monopole sites By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County supervisors are partnering with Milestone Development Inc. to market sites where monopoles could be erected to deliver cellular telephone and internet service to where it is needed in the county. Milestone already has an agreement with the Fauquier County school division to locate poles on school property. Water towers under the control of the Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority are another option that could be explored because of their height. The county’s agreement with Milestone approved by the board on May 10 runs for five years and has three, five-year extension options. The county will receive a portion of the revenue from leasing space on transmission facilities located on county property. A public hearing will be held before the county enters into leases. “There’s a lot going on with AT&T. It is looking for public sites. This will put us on the map from a marketing perspective,” said Cedar Run District Supervisor Richard Gerhardt, who has spearheaded the county’s effort to expand broadband. AT&T was selected in March 2017 by the First Responder Network Authority to build and manage the first broadband network dedicated for use by police, firefighter and emergency medical services nationwide. “My understanding is that AT&T will finish the upgrade in mid-summer and then start adding towers,” Gerhardt said. “The assets will be in place to enhance other cellular and data services as well.” Len Forkas, owner-president of Milestone, said his company compiles a list of possible locations for wireless providers. If a provider shows an interest, Milestone will “vet the site and obtain any permits and special exemptions needed,” Forkas said. “We build the tower with our capital. We don’t build on spec. We design it so that it be a co-location for other providers. We’re based in Reston and we have more than 50 municipal partners,” Forkas said. The company has built 100 transmission towers in Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas and Florida. It has 2,300 sites under contract. Government and school entities derive revenue from communication providers using towers located on public property. Fairfax County is drawing $1.5 million per year, and Prince William $500,000, Forkas said. One monopole that Milestone helped “stack” with service providers is near Freedom High School in Woodbridge. “We’re expecting more interest. T-Mobile has the capital to expand in rural areas. They purchased additional spectrum from the federal government. It’s the type of spectrum that can travel long distances,” Forkas said. Though first responders are the prime beneficiaries of the AT&T’s FirstNet contract, the spectrum will be available for use by others when not in use by fire, police and medical emergency responders, Forkas said.

ec, a partner in Calvert Crossland. Verizon says the tower would address an existing coverage gap in the Goldvein area and along Warrenton Road or U.S. 17. Besides Verizon and Omnipoint, there would be space on the pole for three more wireless providers. Tim Ryan, a resident on Rock Run Road near the proposed tower site, said he didn’t see the need for a new tower. “We have excellent cell phone service now,” he said. Others in the neighborhood complained to the planning commission during the May 17 public hearing that they’d see the monopole through their windows. Others expressed concern the transmissions would impact their

health. Matthew Butcher, a registered engineer working on the project, said there would be a “very small” level of exposure to radiofrequency energy. Two residents spoke about the need for better cell and internet service and their struggles with what exists now. The monopole won’t be disguised as a silo. The applicant will comply with fencing and landscaping requirements, but Pivec asked for a waiver from having the antenna painted. The standard colors are white and gray, she said. Pivec said nine different sites were scouted for the monopole before the one near the park was chosen. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Yanny or Laurel? Local audiologists weigh in By James Ivancic

Stay on top of the news at Fauquier.com

Times Staff Writer

Do you hear Yanny or Laurel? A short audio clip posted online has created a divide among listeners as to whether they are hearing the word “Yanny” or “Laurel.” So why can’t people listening to the same thing agree on what they hear? It may come down to whether you are a high-frequency or a low-frequency listener. Someone better at picking up higher registers may hear “Yanny” while someone better at lower frequencies may hear “Laurel.” “I hear Yanny,” said Dr. Catie Chalmers, an audiologist at Fauquier Ear, Nose and Throat in Warrenton. She explained how the auditory pathway carries sound from the ear to the brain. Factors such as tinnitus — a ringing in the ears — and medications can influence what comes down that pike and how the brain interprets the sound. Attentiveness plays a role too, Chalmers said. “I may say something and they hear something else,” Chalmers said of people she interacts with.

Dr. Diane Badua, of the Auditory and Hearing Aid Center in Gainesville, said age influences hearing just as it does many other things. We lose some of our ability to hear higher frequencies as we get older. The quality of the recording makes a difference, too. “I listened to it on different devices. Some of [the difference in interpretation] is just [due to] the quality of the recording. But why would two people sitting in front of the same device hear something different? It’s the frequency resolution and whether someone is better with higher frequencies. Then they’ll hear ‘Yanny,’” Badua said. “But I hear a lot of people say it’s ‘Laurel.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Sick Fauquier horse prompts quarantine By Betsy Burke Parker Contributing Writer

An unidentified horse in Fauquier County has tested positive for the neurological disease equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy, forcing the farm on which the animal was kept to be quarantined under Virginia Department of Agriculture regulations for at least 21 days. As a result of the quarantine, no horses will be allowed to ship out of the farm or relocate to other facilities, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which confirmed the diagnosis May 16. Equine herpesvirus, two common respiratory strains, plus the highly uncommon EHM neurologic mutation, are ubiquitous viruses in horses. It has been estimated that up to 80 percent of horses are latently infected with at least one variant of the virus regardless of their vaccination status. Vaccination does not prevent the neurologic mutation of the common respiratory sickness. According to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the sickness is believed to have only affected one horse at what’s being called “a sport horse farm.” Animal health officials don’t release the name of the affected horse, farm or owners in order to keep

The horse first showed mild neurologic signs a week ago and was admitted directly into isolation at the world-renowned Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg on Wednesday, May 16. The center is not under quarantine and is operating normally, since the

affected horse has been kept according to strict isolation protocol. The farm is under quarantine — no horses in or out, and handlers must disinfect shoes, clothes and equipment when going from horse to horse. All horses on the farm are having temperatures taken twice a day, officials say, checking for fever above 101.5.

A horse’s normal temperature ranges from 100 to 101. The affected horse had not traveled off the farm prior to exhibiting clinical signs of EHM. There is no effective drug to treat any of the three related diseases other than supportive therapy. If the horse has not become affected neurologically, prognosis is fair to good. In many horses, the only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can easily go undetected, particularly in horses on pasture that are not handled multiple times a day. In addition to fever, infection can cause cough, decreased appetite, depression and/or nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation — around eight months. EHV-1 can be transmitted directly, by direct nose-to-nose contact between affected and unaffected horses, and indirectly, by a handler touching a horse with the disease then touching another horse or carrying germ droplets on clothing or shared brushes or buckets. This is why, Virginia state vet Dr. Richard Wilkes explained, disease can easily spread if strict quarantine measures are not followed. Regular updates are online at vdacs.virginia.gov.

BODY AND SOUL The art and science of preserving the bodies of the dead was originally practiced by the ancient Egyptians, who were the first people to believe in the immortality of the soul. They undertook the elaborate process of mummification in the belief that the soul would never foresake the body as long as the body remained intact. Embalming preserved the body so the soul could return to it after the completion of the “circle of necessity,” a 3,000-year journey that the soul was required to make before it could return to the body and live with the gods forever. Modern embalmers continue the important process of body preservation so that the bodies of deceased individuals can be displayed and accorded respect. Embalming is primarily done to disinfect and preserve the remains. Disinfection is important for all who have to handle the remains and for the public safety of our communities. Without embalming, most remains would not be viewable within a short amount of time because there are constant changes going on chemically and physically.

A unique blend aims to ‘uncork the cure’ By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Robert Frost’s “A Road Not Taken” comes to mind as you drive north in Fauquier County. Hume Road, for example, winds its way through the lush rural countryside. You can drive for miles and not encounter another car depending on the hour and day of the week. It was Hume Road that lured Bob Claymier, who grew up on a cattle ranch in the high desert country of Eastern Oregon, to explore that scenic road more than 20 years ago. Retired from the federal government, Bob was looking for a place to raise horses and honor his Oregon roots. He and his wife, Linda, first spotted their current location at 13726 Hume Road in the early ’90s but it would be some two years later, with the property still on the market, that they would be able to call it home. A lifetime of work had them living in desert countries like Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt as well as many other overseas assignments. Deserts have always had a draw for them, that and their memories of Oregon’s desert country, so it was a natural fit to name it Desert Rose Ranch Arabians. “Opening a winery was not in the game plan,” laughs Linda Claymier, who is sitting comfortably in a large open room bedecked with western memorabilia and wine bottles. In addition to Bob’s upbringing on a ranch was his love of grapes and winemaking. Breeding, boarding and training horses turned out to be a successful operation but harvesting grapes was always in the back of Bob’s mind. A small plot for growing and making wine for the family quickly morphed from hobby to household word as, over the years, the ranch part has waned. Desert Rose Ranch and Winery is now best known for its wines… partnered with a western flair.

A warm welcome

Their decision to embark on a wine adventure was enthusiastically supported by fellow winemakers in the Piedmont area like John Delmar at Rappahannock Cellars, which is located very nearby. The Claymiers had been selling some of their grapes to Rappahannock Cellars. Linda recalls John telling them that with the closure of Oasis Winery some years ago, the area was ripe for another vineyard. “We’ve been very pleased,” says Linda, “all of the neighboring wineries have been very friendly and helpful.” Now, you can choose from a Covert Cab or Fiery Run Cab Franc, if you prefer reds, to Hitch Hollow Chardonnay or Ole Moo Moo, for white wine aficionados, to a Sparky Rose.

Linda Claymier discounts. Membership requires the purchase of two bottles a quarter. While sipping you can peruse the foreign currency under the glass from coins to paper. You’ll also find more pinned to a worldwide map detailing the countries the Claymiers have visited and/or worked or lived in. “Now, people bring in their own collections of foreign monies to add to ours,” smiles Linda. “It’s a great conversation starter and fun for the customers.” Linda’s effervescent personality is contagious. She emanates a positive and happy outlook on life and, while not expecting to run a winery in their “retirement,” she and Bob are loving it.

A life-changing event

But life threw them a curve ball in 2015 when on Good Friday of that year their daughter Kim was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. She was in surgery all day that Easter with the cancer spreading into her lungs and reproductive organs. “She’s the best fighter,” said Linda of her daughter, who is well known in Culpeper working as the librarian at Culpeper County High School. Kim Mitchell has been a speaker at the Pamper Me Pink programs and is a good friend of Sharon Clark, owner of Pepperberries, who, for years, helped orchestrate that event.

Western décor like this ornate saddle offer patrons a hint into the Claymiers’ wine odyssey. Cancer-free but continuing on a chemo regimen, Kim, now 50, gladly shares the challenges and emotional roller coaster that life with cancer presents. But Dad had a Christmas gift in 2016 that brought inspiration and good taste. “None of us knew he was doing this,” said Linda, “it was a complete surprise.” As the family gathered on that Christmas morning, Bob’s gift to Kim was unwrapped. At first her reaction was, “Why would you give me a bottle of wine… you own a winery?” Then she looked at the label. Bob had created a unique white blend of wine all for her. The label reads “Uncork the Cure.” Kim was very touched. Linda laughs as she looks to the bottle with an illustration of a corkscrew under the name. Basically, it’s Bob’s way saying, “screw cancer.” Since then, the Claymiers donate a portion of all the sales of “Uncork the Cure” to cancer research or a specific cancer-related event or project. On Sunday, June 3, to commemorate National Cancer Survivors Day, Desert Rose Ranch and Winery will have a special fundraising event

from noon-6 p.m. With their two daughters and grandchildren all in this area, it is doubtful the Claymiers will return to live in Oregon but that’s all right with them. “We’ve found a home here…you never know what life is going to throw at you,” smiles Linda. “We love where we are.” The desert rose plant is native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, haunts of their previous homes. It thrives in well-drained soil as do the grapes at Desert Rose Ranch and Winery. With hints of faraway lands, strong legs and an aroma of Western ambiance and compassion, the Claymiers wines will linger on your palette and call for a return.

Report: Virginia Cooperative Extension gets results

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 23, 2018

The Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station and Virginia Cooperative Extension have far-reaching impacts across the state, according to a report recently released by the Virginia Tech Office of Economic Development. Eleven Agricultural Research and Extension Centers around the state provide research and outreach to propel local and state economies. VCE has 107 offices across the state that provides research-based information to farmers and the public. This includes the Middleburg Agricultural Research and Extension center. “In addition to the numbers and analysis presented, citizens provided concrete examples detailing how their lives and communities wouldn’t be the same without the outreach and research,” noted John Provo, director of the VT Office of Economic Development. The report quotes one farmer with $170 million in annual agricultural exports who, when asked about cooperative extension’s impact, said, “I don’t know if agriculture would exist in the county without Extension. It certainly wouldn’t thrive.” Additional impacts on Virginia agriculture and forest-

Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Farmers seeded 230,000 acres last fall with 175,000 acres to be harvested for grain. Based on crop conditions as of May 1, and assuming a normal growing season, farmers expect a yield of 67 bushels per acre, up one bushel from 2017. Acres for other uses totaled 55,000 acres and will be used as cover crop or cut as silage or hay. State statistician Herman Ellison said, “The Virginia winter wheat crop experienced below normal temperatures and varied precipitation in April. At the end of April, 29 percent of the crop had headed and was mostly rated in good condition.” As of May 1, Virginia on-farm hay stocks totaled 250,000 tons, down 290,000 tons from May 1, 2017, stocks. Farmers have used 77 percent of their hay stocks since Dec. 1, 2017. Because it was a dry fall and the late spring slowed grass growth, farmers had to start feeding hay early. “I’d like to thank all the farmers for taking time out of your busy schedules to respond the Agricultural Yield Survey,” Ellison added. “The more farmers who respond to our surveys, the more accurate data we can provide for the agricultural industry. I wish them a very prosperous and healthy year.”

Liv Heggoy leads LFCC’s fundraising efforts By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer

When it comes to the business side of things, people sometimes have the wrong idea about nonprofits, said Liv Heggoy, Lord Fairfax Community College’s associate vice president for institutional advancement and the executive director of the LFCC Educational Foundation. “I think the term ‘nonprofit’ is kind of misleading because we want to be profitable,” Heggoy said. “We want to be as profitable as possible and use that profit to support our mission.” The LFCC Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) that supports the community college through fundraising efforts that aim “to help the college fulfill its mission to provide accessible, quality academic and workforce training opportunities to all students, regardless of financial need,” according to the foundation’s website. Each year, the foundation raises funds to award scholarships and support other college projects, including the construction of the new Hazel Hall at LFCC’s War-

renton campus. “The more profitable we are, the more good we can do,” Heggoy said. And the more the foundation does, the more it can support the mission of the community college, she said. “The mission of Lord Fairfax Community College is

student success,” Heggoy said. “And the college is so important to Fauquier County.” About half of the county’s high school graduates go on to community college, Heggoy said, “And most of them go here.” “It’s a great thing for Fauquier County to have a com-

munity college here,” she said. The community college also plays an important role in providing job opportunities in Fauquier County and in preparing more people to enter the workforce, she said. “In terms of economic impact, we are one of the top

employers,” Heggoy said. “And they say the measure of a community is its access to education and good health care. So we play an important role in providing that education piece.” Heggoy came to Lord Fairfax Community College in 2010, serving as the college’s assistant director of development before becoming executive director of the LFCC Foundation. Before coming to LFCC, Heggoy was vice president of the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia. She moved to LFCC after getting married and moving to the area, she said. “I was fortunate to find this position that was a good fit,” she said. And, Heggoy said, she is happy to be working at LFCC at an exciting time, as the college continues to expand and grow. LFCC will celebrate its 30th year this year, she said. “We’ve grown so much and continue to expand our programs,” she said. “We’re excited to be the number-one choice for students Fauquier.” Reach Amanda Heincer at aheincer@fauquier.com

NOTICE PUBLIC NOTICETO TOTHE THE PUBLIC OFOF A A FILING BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FILING BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY OF ITS INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN OF ITS INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN CASE NO. PUR-2018-00065 CASE NO. PUR-2018-00065

On May 1, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) the Company’s Integrated Resource Plan (“IRP”) pursuant to § 56-599 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”). An IRP, as defined by § 56-597 of the Code, is “a document developed by an electric utility that provides a forecast of its load obligations and a plan to meet those obligations by supply side and demand side resources over the ensuing 15 years to promote reasonable prices, reliable service, energy independence, and environmental responsibility.” Pursuant to § 56-599 C of the Code, the Commission determines whether an IRP is reasonable and in the public interest. Dominion states that it serves approximately 2.5 million electric customers in Virginia and North Carolina and that the Company’s combined service territory in these two states covers approximately 30,000 square miles. As indicated in its IRP, Dominion is a member of PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”), a regional transmission organization in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company states that the IRP was prepared for its service territories in Virginia and North Carolina, which are both within the PJM region. According to the Company, the IRP encompasses the 15-year planning period from 2019 to 2033 and is based on the Company’s current assumptions regarding load growth, commodity prices, economic conditions, environmental regulations, construction and equipment costs, demand-side management programs, and many other regulatory and market developments that may occur in the future. Dominion states in its filing that the Company’s objective in developing the IRP was to identify the mix of resources necessary to meet future energy and capacity requirements in an efficient and reliable manner at the lowest reasonable cost while considering future uncertainties. Section 56-599 of the Code requires, among other things, that an IRP evaluate: (i) the effect of current and pending environmental regulations upon the continued operation of existing electric generation facilities or options for construction of new electric generation facilities; and (ii) the most cost-effective means of complying with current and pending environmental regulations. With respect to the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions from electric generation by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the IRP recognizes that the EPA published a proposal in October 2017 to repeal the Clean Power Plan (“CPP”) and that in December 2017, the EPA issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit input on whether it should proceed with a replacement rule. The Company asserts that it no longer believes the CPP to be a “current” or “pending” regulation; however, the Company includes a build plan under the CPP and the resulting net present value analysis in the 2018 IRP. The Company states it has also assessed a generic federal carbon program in the 2018 IRP. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this case that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing at 1 p.m. on September 24, 2018, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony of public witnesses. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness should appear at the hearing location fifteen (15) minutes prior to the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff. A public hearing will convene on September 25, 2018, at 9:30 a.m., in the same location, to receive the testimony and evidence offered by the Company, respondents, and the Staff on the Company’s IRP. The public version of the Company’s IRP and the Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing are available for public inspection during regular business hours at each of the Company’s business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Copies also may be obtained by submitting a written request to counsel for the Company, Jennifer D. Valaika, Esquire, McGuireWoods LLP, Gateway Plaza, 800 East Canal Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219. If acceptable to the requesting party, the Company may provide the documents by electronic means. Copies of the public version of the IRP and other documents filed in this case are also available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Interested persons also may download unofficial copies from the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia. gov/case. On or before September 17, 2018, any interested person wishing to comment on the Company’s IRP shall file written comments with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118. Any interested person desiring to file comments electronically may do so on or before September 17, 2018, by following the instructions on the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. Compact disks or any other form of electronic storage medium may not be filed with the comments. All such comments shall refer to Case No. PUR-201800065. On or before July 13, 2018, any person or entity may participate as a respondent in this proceeding by filing a notice of participation. If not filed electronically, an original and fifteen (15) copies of the notice of participation shall be submitted to the Clerk of the Commission at the address above. A copy of the notice of participation as a respondent also must be sent to counsel for the Company at the address set forth above. Pursuant to Rule 5 VAC 5-20-80 B, Participation as a respondent, of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (“Rules of Practice”), any notice of participation shall set forth: (i) a precise statement of the interest of the respondent; (ii) a statement of the specific action sought to the extent then known; and (iii) the factual and legal basis for the action. Any organization, corporation, or government body participating as a respondent must be represented by counsel as required by Rule 5 VAC 5-20-30, Counsel, of the Rules of Practice. All filings shall refer to Case No. PUR-2018-00065. For additional information about participation as a respondent, any person or entity should obtain a copy of the Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing. All documents filed with the Office of the Clerk of the Commission in this docket may use both sides of the paper. In all other respects, all filings shall comply fully with the requirements of 5 VAC 5-20-150, Copies and format, of the Commission’s Rules of Practice. The Commission’s Rules of Practice may be viewed at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

Photographed at an encampment in 1908, the Warrenton Rifles was still a local militia company. Enlistments were for three years.

Border patrol circa 1916:

When the ‘Warrenton Rifles’ served on the Mexican border By John Toler

Associate Editor

A recent presidential order that would allow National Guard units to be mobilized to assist with border security has yet to be felt in Virginia, but if it happens, it won’t be the first time. More than a century ago, the local militia unit based in Warrenton became part of the newly-established Virginia National Guard, and sent to Brownsville, Texas, to support Regular Army units fighting Mexican insurgents that were crossing the border.

The provocation

Francisco “Pancho” Villa (18781923) was the former provisional governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua, and later commander of Mexico’s Division del Norte. Competing with other revolutionaries for control of the country after the ousting of Mexican President Victoriana Huerta, Villa was defeated in November 1915 at the Second Battle of Agua Prieta. Villa’s army collapsed, and while foraging for supplies on March 9, 1916, he initiated a hit-and-run raid on the town of Columbus, Texas, just over the border. Sending spies into the town, he was told – incorrectly – that there were only 30 soldiers there. However, at nearby Camp Furlong, there were more than 350 officers and men of the U.S. 13th Cavalry Regiment, and they were heavily armed. The Villista raid started at 4:15 a.m., and despite the element of surprise, the soldiers and civilians of Columbus, armed with rifles and shotguns, responded quickly. Several buildings were looted and burned as Villa watched from a nearby hilltop. But as the 90-minute battle

Two companies of the 13th Cavalry pursued the retreating raiders 15 miles into Mexico, inflicting casualties on Villa’s rear guard four times. Low on water and ammunition, they returned to Columbus. In the end, eight members of the regiment were killed, as well as 10 civilians; it is estimated that Villa lost at least 70 men killed in the battle. American response to the attack was immediate, with President Woodrow Wilson ordering an expeditionary force under Gen. John Pershing into Mexico, entering the country in force on March 16, 1916. Men of the 7th Cavalry nearly captured Villa and made it as far south as Durango Province – 500 miles south of the border – before being called back to U.S. soil. On May 5, 1916, Villistas returned, and attacked the towns of Glenn Springs and Boquillas, Texas, looting and taking captives. Again, they pursued back into Mexico.

LT. THOMAS E. BARTENSTEIN It was noted that between June 1915 and June 1916, raiders from Mexico attacked people on U.S. soil 38 times. Active military operations continued, and in addition to Regular Army troops, militia units from Texas, Arizona and New Mexico were called to serve.

National Guard created, called to serve

With the enactment of the National Defense Act on June 3, 1916, the United States National Guard was established, and on June 18, 1916, Wilson began mobilization of Guard units from the rest of the states and the District of Columbia. The National Defense Act was designed to address the problems that had limited the effectiveness of local and state militia units for years, including the wide variation in training, leadership proficiency and equipment. Guards companies that were called-up for border duty received intensive training and new equipment, and the units from different states were organized into

provisional divisions. Ultimately, 140,000 Guardsmen would be sent to serve in the Southwest. Their mission was to secure the border, so officially no Guard units were to enter Mexico. However, cavalrymen with the Utah National Guard were involved in three skirmishes with Mexicans south of the Arizona border in July 1916. See RIFLES, Page 16

First organized during the Civil War, the Warrenton Rifles was re-established as a local militia company on March 7, 1907, and following enactment of the National Defense Act, it became Co. C of the 2nd Virginia Regiment. At the time of the border conflict, the company was commanded by Capt. Lew Wood; first lieutenant was Thomas E. Bartenstein; and second lieutenant was William G. Bartenstein. On June 3, 1916, Co. C was combined with Co. D of Front Royal, and designated part of the 116th Infantry, Virginia National Guard. The company received its federal orders to go to the border, and left Warrenton by train on June 27, after a grand sendoff at the Warrenton Depot. They departed Richmond for Brownsville, Texas, on July 7, 1916. The 2nd Virginia Regiment set up camp along the Rio Grande, and was provided with military equipment and weapons. During their mission, the troops interacted with the community, visiting Brownsville and accepting the challenge to play against the Brownsville High School football team. “The Brownsville High School opened their football season with a defeat by the Second Virginia Infantry eleven 6 to 0,” according to the Brownsville newspaper in September 1916.

The 2nd Virginia Infantry was stationed along the U.S.-Mexico border in 1916-17. The Rio Grande can be seen in the background. “Both teams showed a lack of training. The ‘Dough Boys’ made their gains on line plunges and end runs, while the home team depended on the aerial route.” The only touchdown was made by a soldier identified as O’Brian; one of the players identified simply as “Bartenstein” played left end. Sadly, after the death of his father, Reinhardt Bartenstein, in December 1916, Lt. Thomas Bartenstein had to resign his commission and returned home to Warrenton. He was given an honorable discharge and returned to his job as deputy clerk of the circuit court. William and Joseph remained with the company. Company C was mustered out and returned

to Warrenton in February 1917. The rest of the U.S. forces were withdrawn from the border area shortly afterward. Pancho Villa was not captured, but the value of the military transition brought on by the National Defense Act was soon realized. In April 1917, the United States entered World War I, and many National Guard Units, including Warrenton Rifles, were again called into federal service. Made part of the U.S. Army in September 1917, the men of the Warrenton Rifles received additional training and re-supply, and, in June 1918, sailed for France to fight in World War I.

Montpelier’s slavery exhibition wins cultural heritage media awards A permanent slavery exhibition James Madison’s Montpelier, “The Mere Distinction of Colour,” recently won two 2018 MUSE Awards. “Legacies of Slavery,” a provocative 10-minute film analyzing the

story told from the point of view of Ellen Stewart, the daughter of Dolley Madison’s enslaved ladies’ maid, also won a silver MUSE Award in the category of multimedia installations. The awards were presented during a ceremony held on Sunday, May 6, 2018, at the American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. Montpelier’s Vice President of Museum Programs, Elizabeth Chew, was present to accept the awards, the press release said. “We share these awards with the members of our descendant community,” Chew said in the release. “Because of their courage, partnership, and honesty, we were able to create an exhibition that highlights the humanity of the enslaved and breaks new ground by connecting the past to the present and acknowledging the contemporary legacies of slavery.” “The Mere Distinction of Colour”

opened to the public June 4, 2017, and was made possible by generous support from David M. Rubenstein. The exhibition engages the economic, ideological and political factors that cemented slavery in the United States and its Constitution; dispels commonly held myths about enslaved people; illuminates the humanity of those who were enslaved by examining their personal communities and connections; and builds on over two decades of close collaboration with the Montpelier Descendant Community to present an authentic, holistic picture of slavery at Montpelier and nationwide, the press release said. “The Mere Distinction of Colour” is open to the public seven days a week.

Three lacrosse teams lock up state berths Kettle Run boys, girls, FHS boys stay hot in postseason By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Highland’s rousing 5-1 win over Nansemond Suffolk gave the program its fourth girls soccer state title. The Hawks (14-12) beat Covenant 1-0 in the state semifinals and Hampton Roads 2-0 in the quarters.

‘We defied all expectations’ Highland wins VISAA D-II girls soccer crown by blowing out Nansemond Suffolk, 5-1 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

When Jess Cochrane scanned the field prior to the VISAA Division II state final Sunday, she saw a landscape full of displaced teammates. As goalkeeper, she was the only Highland girl still playing the same position as during the Hawks’ 2017 state tournament appearance. That’s because Highland (14-1-2) began this season with six new starters and four returning starters who played different positions. Yet that turned out to be the unlikely recipe for winning a state championship as the top-seeded Hawks dominated No. 2 Nansemond Suffolk, 5-1, during the title game at Ukrop Park in Richmond. “It means a lot,” said coach Reynolds Oare, whose Hawks previously won the D-II title in 2016, 2007 and 2006. “All of them are special, but this one ranks up there because of how we ended our year last year and what [talent] left us. “I’m really, really proud of these girls,” he said. “And I give those [2017] girls credit for leaving these girls in a good place.” Last season, Highland lost during the state semifinals to Hampton Roads, 0-0, in a shootout despite entering as the No. 1 seed with arguably one of the most talented teams in program history. That squad finished 13-3-3. The Hawks then began this spring by winning only three of their first six games after losing five senior starters to 2017 graduation – including all-state players in Annie Pendleton,

Stefanie Hoerner and Ashton Eicher – as well as one starter to transfer. “Losing a lot of starting seniors and coming back and kind of doing what no one thought we could do, definitely feels really good,” junior Caroline Lawson said Sunday. Senior Molly Petronzio had similar thoughts after she scored a goal less than three minutes into the second half to give Highland a 4-0 lead. “I think we defied all expectations coming into this season,” she said. “It really means a lot to be able to get the job done.” Highland excelled despite losing senior starter Buckley Norman to a season-ending injury with another young starter leaving the team due to scheduling conflicts. With so many lost players, Oare had to shuffle his starting lineup. Few changes worked out better than moving Petronzio from center back to forward while switching from a 4-3-3 formation to a 3-5-2 during a spring break tournament in Charleston, South Carolina. “She was dangerous, and I said, ‘Hmm, maybe we found something here.’ She’s been playing up top ever since,” said Oare. With one goal Sunday, Petronzio finished with a team-high 18 goals, giving her 19 in her career. Carolyn Treuting also scored in the state final despite playing in the midfield this season after finishing last spring as one of the Hawks’ leading scorers while playing up top. “I can’t say enough about her,” Oare said. “We asked her to come back in the middle and do some

grunt work this year, and she [had] such an impact for us.” Nansemond Suffolk (15-6-1) hadn’t previously lost to a D-II team this season. “We did not play very well,” Saints coach Mike Dick said. “We had a great warm-up. They were loose and happy, but then the whistle blew.” Eighth grader Alexis Conlin gave Highland a 1-0 lead off a ball centered by Mallory McReynolds less than 13 minutes in. “This is probably her sixth game with us,” Treuting said. “So coming out and scoring the first goal, that’s such a proud moment for her.” About 18 minutes later, Treuting scored the winning goal by striking a ball that skimmed the right post over the head of a few defenders who tried to guard the goal after Saints keeper Mallory Mizelle failed to secure the ball near the top edge of the 18-yard box. “Our goalkeeper made more mistakes today than in the entire season,” Dick said. “We all seemed to be off a little.” Less than two minutes after Treuting’s goal, Lawson scored on a free kick from about 35 yards out. She also scored Highland’s final goal from about 15 yards out with an assist by McReynolds after Petronzio scored with an assist by Treuting. Highland actually only out-shot the Saints 17-15, so Cochrane’s 11 saves played a large role. The Saints ended a streak of seven consecutive shutouts for Highland, but the Hawks still finished the season having allowed only five goals over 17 games. “That is a pretty shocking stat,” Oare said. “We have a tremendous keeper.”

The Kettle Run boys and girls lacrosse teams, along with the Fauquier boys lacrosse team, have secured state quarterfinal berths. They are expected to meet teams from Loudoun County’s Dulles District on June 1. This Thursday, the three local standout squads compete in the Region B championship games at Liberty High. Kettle Run faces Brentsville in the girls title match at 6 p.m. Kettle Run and Fauquier meet for the boys crown at 8. On Monday, the Kettle Run girls rolled into the Region B final by blasting Eastern View 20-4 in a game shortened by the mercy rule. Also Monday, the Cougar boys earned their ticket to the final by escaping Brentsville, 11-9, while Fauquier rolled over Culpeper 20-6. In the other girls semifinal, Fauquier fell to Brentsville, 1813, ending their season at 5-8. The Falcon girls pulled an upset on May 17 in the quarterfinals when they beat James Monroe 11-10 in Fredericksburg. Senior captain goalie A.J. Adan had 23 saves, helping the Falcons recover from a 7-4 halftime deficit. Carleigh Cordova and Sarala Grayson-Funk had hat tricks and Payton O’Hara scored two goals and recorded two assists. Zoe Savage added two goals and one assist, while Yvie Frazier scored one goal and Grayson-Funk had two assists.

Pearson’s thunder shot rocks Millbrook

After drying off field, Fauquier beats Millbrook, 5-3, to win district title By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The weather radar predicted heavy rain May 16 in Warrenton, and history forecast a Fauquier loss to Millbrook’s baseball team. Neither circumstance transpired, though. The rain fell only lightly and the Falcons beat the Pioneers, 5-3, to clinch the Class 4 Northwestern District regular season championship with Lane Pearson playing one of the best games of his career. The junior hit his first home run this season – a three-run shot in the third inning with Fauquier trailing

Lane Pearson was Fauquier’s star of the day in the showdown with Millbrook. His three-run homer gave the Falcons a lead they would not relinquish and he was a workhorse on the mound as the winning pitcher.

2-1 – and he pitched a three-hitter with a season-high 11 strikeouts. So the Falcons won their first district-level championship since claiming the 2015 Conference 22 title with senior Haiden Smith going 3-for-3 to supplement Pearson’s performance. “I’ve worked my [butt] off for the last four years,” Smith said, “and my biggest goal has been to win the district title with these guys.” Fauquier’s lineup includes a bunch of seniors, but only one – shortstop Blaze O’Saben – was a member of that 2015 varsity team. “It’s pretty big to us because just

about everybody … hasn’t been past the districts,” Pearson said. “We’ve been working hard for it these past few years, so I think we deserve it.” By beating Millbrook, the Falcons earned a berth in the Class 4 Region C tournament, a level of the playoffs they haven’t reached since finishing 2015 as the Class 4A West Region region runner-up and advancing to the state semifinals. They’ve won five consecutive since an 11-4 loss to Millbrook on April 25 in Winchester, an outcome that suggested they would struggle in the rematch. The Pioneers took the lead in the district standings that night, but Fauquier’s victory Wednesday gave it a 9-3 final record in the Northwestern (15-5 overall) while dropping Millbrook to second in the standings at 8-4 (12-8). The Pioneers and Falcons were actually scheduled to play May 14, but a violent storm postponed the game until May 16, when the leftover field conditions and the weather forecast again threatened postponement. O’Saben enlisted some parents, other coaches and students from a weight lifting class, among others, to help prepare the field after the heavy rain earlier in the week. They spread about 20 bags of Turface to help with moisture absorption. “We got the field playable,” O’Saben said. “It was a full school effort. … I couldn’t be prouder of the school and the support they’ve given the baseball team. “The championship is for everybody,” he said. “It’s a school championship, not just a baseball championship.” After the Pioneers took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, Pearson stepped to the plate with runners on second and third with Fauquier trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the third inning. He watched a pair of curveballs go by, leaving him with a 1-1 count, before Millbrook pitcher Jalen Tyson threw a fastball. “So I was just thinking to myself, ‘Just see the spin,” Pearson said. “I saw the fastball spin and I just turned on it.” He hit the ball high over the leftfield fence, just inside the foul pole, to score Blaze O’Saben (single) and Carson McCusker (fielder’s choice)

for a 5-2 Fauquier lead. “That’s the best-hit baseball he’s had all season,” Matt O’Saben said. “It’s timely, and we’ve been waiting for that.” The home run came with two outs. “One of their fans said, ‘Don’t throw him anything good,’” Pearson said. “Then he just threw me a fastball a little up. I took advantage of it.” After his home run, Pearson returned to the mound in the top of the fourth inning. Working with an adrenaline surge, he struck out three consecutive Millbrook batters. “He has a little bit of velocity, but it’s his breaking ball” that hurt, Pioneers coach Brian Burke said. “I don’t think we were very disciplined at the plate against the breaking ball.” Pearson mixed change-ups in with his fastballs, but his curve ball was particularly problematic for Millbrook hitters. He threw it for called strikes, threw it out of the zone to make the Pioneers chase it and threw it early in the count to set up his high fastball. “People tell me when I throw my curveball on the mound, it comes out of my hand and looks exactly like a fastball,” said Pearson, who allowed four walks and hit two batters for three earned runs over 6 1/3 innings. Offensively, Blaze O’Saben had an RBI, a run and two stolen base on 2-for-4 hitting, while McCusker scored two runs with a stolen base on 1-for-3 hitting, and James Swart scored one run on 1-for-2 hitting. Pearson finished 2-for-4, while Smith hit a single in each of his three at bats. “I’ve been struggling the last few games,” Smith said, “and I came into this game knowing I wanted to produce for the team because I know it’s the biggest game of the season.”

THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER Highland girls win third straight lacrosse state title By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Highland Hawks entered the state final without being undefeated for the first time since 2015, but they dominated the title game more than ever to win their third consecutive VISAA Division II championship. The Hawks defeated Virginia Episcopal, 17-6, Sunday at Episcopal High in Alexandria after narrowly beating Cape Henry Collegiate in the 2017 state final, 13-11, and topping Foxcroft in the 2016 final, 12-4. So Highland finished 15-1 with a three-game winning streak after their previous 47-game winning streak ended during the Delaney Athletic Conference final in an upset loss to Foxcroft. The Hawks went 18-0 last season and 17-0 in 2016 after finishing as the 2015 state runner-up with an 11-4 record. “Our upperclassmen knew what it takes to win a state championship, especially my senior class that has been to the state finals all four seasons,” Highland coach Kristen Conques said. “We knew we needed

Kayla Soltys led the Hawks’ offense with seven goals, making her

Fauquier boys advance to district semis By Noah Fleischman Special to the Times

When it rains, it pours. As in Fauquier shots on goal. The No. 3-seeded Falcons unleashed 28 shots in a 5-0 boys soccer rout of James Wood in a rain-soaked Class 4 Northwestern District quarterfinal Friday afternoon at Liberty. Frankie Strano scored twice, with Falcons Daniel Duca, David Cruz and Xavier Barreda finding the back of the net as Fauquier advanced to play at No. 2 seed Sherando Tuesday. “We hate playing at this field because it’s the biggest field in the county and we are used to our field because it’s the smallest field in the county,” said Fauquier coach Juan Garcia after the game was moved to Bealeton’s artificial surface due to wet fields. Fauquier beat the Colonels twice in the regular season, and came out with numerous early shots, including one by David Cruz from five yards out that was saved by the Colonels’ goalkeeper. After the early goal scoring chance, both teams traded turnovers and headers for most of the first half. “I think after the first 15 minutes we figured out how we wanted to play, then we were fine. We just tried not to get pulled out of position defensively,” said Garcia. Fauquier struck first with 4:45 left in the first half as Strano converted from 11 yards out into the bottom right corner for a 1-0 lead that Fauquier took into the halftime break. The Falcon shots kept pouring, along with the rain, in the second half.

Early ouster for Kettle Run

For the first time since their first season in 2009, the Kettle Run boys soccer team will not play in regionals. Last Thursday, the defending Class 4A state champions lost to Millbrook 4-2 in the Northwestern District quarterfinals at Liberty, ending their season at 8-5-1. Kettle Run came in as the No. 4 seed, while Millbrook was No. 5. It was the earliest ending for a program that rivals the Fauquier wrestling team as the best in the county. Kettle Run has made regionals in eight of the school’s 10 years, with state titles in 2015 and 2017.

Pole vault points propel Falcon girls to share of district track title, FHS boys drop to 2nd By Josh Dorsey and Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writers

Waiting two days to complete the Class 4 Northwestern District track and field meet cost Fauquier’s boys a championship but helped Fauquier’s girls win a title at James Wood in Winchester. The Falcons finished with 131 points in the girls competition to tie James Wood for the championship because Sarah Saas scored six points by finishing third in the pole vault Monday after all the other 16 events were completed Saturday. Poor weather moved the Saturday meet from Skyline High to James Wood, which doesn’t have a pole vault pit, so Handley hosted that final event Monday. The Falcons entered Monday trailing James Wood in the stand-

ings, 131-125, so Saas needed a strong performance to move Fauquier out of second place. “I didn’t want to say anything to her” about that, Falcons coach Quentin Jones said. “The kids were asking questions, but I said, ‘Just jump.’” Clearing 7 feet, 6 inches “was good for her today,” Jones said. Fauquier’s boys, meanwhile, entered Monday leading Handley, 155150, but the Judges claimed the top two spots in the pole vault to boost them over the Falcons in the standings for a 175-158 victory. Hannah Holland led the Falcons with a hand in three victories, while Dakari Mullins earned five medals for Fauquier’s boys. Holland won the 800 (2 minutes, 20.95 seconds) and 1,600 (5:10.52) while helping Elise Fernandez, Kelsey Gastley and Morgan Pletch win the 1,600 relay (4:14.61).

Strong performances by Camryn Bland and Ryan McDaniel-Neff helped the Falcon girls share the Northwestern District track title. Regionals are scheduled for Wednesday at Handley at 10 a.m. Fernandez also won the 400 run (1:01.62) and 3,200 relay with Annalie Del Gallo, Morgan Strickland and Gastley (10:18.96). “She had a really good day,” Jones said of Holland. “Very strong performance.” Patrick Atwell added victories in the 300 hurdles (40.62) and 1,600 relay with Bruce Boggs, Nick Matthews and Josh Moylan (3:32.62), while Fauquier’s 3,200 boys relay team won in 8:35.21. For Liberty, Ja’Von White won

the 400-meter run in 50.8 seconds and Kristeena Kenny won the 100 in 13.26, while Kettle Run’s Mateo Barreto won the 800 in 2:00.91. The Cougars’ Sofie Haugsdahl (discus), Logan Rapp (boys discus), Adalia Coleman (100) and 400 relay team of Leah Morton, Grace Contreras, Adalia Coleman and Madison Honesty all placed second. Also for Liberty, Sam Rodman finished second in the 1,600 and 3,200 relay with Jessie Smith, Chris King and Matthew Anderson.

Roman’s goal lifts Marshall to middle school boys soccer title Wolves won final four to claim title over second place Cedar Lee By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Marshall Middle School’s route to the Fauquier County boys soccer title took a perfect month of May. After losing their second game of the year to Taylor 1-0 on April 17, then tying Cedar Lee 0-0 in Game Four on April 26, the Wolves needed to run the table. Marshall (6-1-1) didn’t allow a goal the rest of the year, winning its final four games, including a 1-0 victory over Cedar Lee in the season finale on May 15 to claim the title. “If we had lost or tied the game, then we wouldn’t have been champions,” said coach Chase Davenport, whose Wolves nosed out Cedar Lee (5-1-2) for the crown. “We knew Cedar Lee would be a very aggressive, physical and skilled team but the boys kept their heads up and fought through and in the end came out on top,” said Davenport. The goal was scored by seventh grader Nick Roman and assisted by eighth grader Chris Chirasello. “Having missed an earlier chance, I wanted redemption. I wanted to score this for my team. It was all for the team,” said Roman. Team co-captain Conner Mollberg said the title was a significant feat after two subpar seasons of 3-4-1 and 0-8. “I think it feels extra special because of the last two years after having a kinda rough year in sixth

Chirasello said it was Marshall’s first title in seven years. “We’re extremely happy. Each year we got better. I just wish there was a trophy,” he said. The Wolves outscored their final four foes by a combined 10-0.

I give a lot of credit to my teammates, too. I couldn’t be more proud of how they put the bat on the ball and played great defense,” said Shorts. The Cougars scored the winning

Big shout to Kaylee for that homer,” said Danie Cleveland.

I like having them back.” “He floats,” Ginny Perrin said when asked why both she and her husband selected Smitty Best in Show over top bitch Deep Run Rem-

Ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog

Foxhounds bred by, and born to, a particular hunt club carry the club title. The hound’s name typically begins with the first two letters of the dam’s name, or – in the case of a club-bred hound fathered by another hunt’s stud dog – the first letter of that stallion hound’s name. When hounds are drafted – given – to other hunts, if they were “entered” (started hunting with that club), they retain the title of the originating club. When they have puppies, those pups carry the new owner’s title. More than 100 years of bloodlines are recorded in the Masters of Foxhounds studbook.

The hamlet of Delaplane in northern Fauquier County will come alive on Memorial Day weekend – Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27 – for the 25th anniversary of the Delaplane Strawberry Festival at Sky Meadows State Park. Now in its 25th year, the festival is sponsored by Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Delaplane, and all proceeds go to support the ministries of the church outreach programs, including grants to numerous local, national and international nonprofit organizations. To date, they have raised $700,522. The Rev. Amanda Knouse, who became rector in 2012, said she has two favorite parts of the festival. “First, I love witnessing the community at Emmanuel work so tirelessly and gracefully throughout the weekend,” she said. “They’re constantly checking in on each other and the guests, ensuring folks are enjoying themselves. Their work over the weekend is a beautiful testament to what a community that works together can do.” And second, Knouse said she loves to hear the laughter of the guests. “For one day, people aren’t distracted by their phones or work or the million other things that vie for our attention,” she said. “The

Page 37 Strawberries will be the main attraction at the Delaplane Strawberry Festival Delaplane Strawberry Festival invites people to embrace the beauty that surrounds them, to enjoy the company of neighbors and friends and to celebrate the small things in life. It’s an all-around fun weekend.” Three female parishioners organized the first event 25 years ago to offset a slight deficit in the annual budget. They were the late Mary Scott, the late Kitty Lee Pritchett and Betty Ann Trible. Scott’s husband, the jovial former “Today Show” weatherman, even came up with his own strawberry pie recipe in honor of the event. The main attraction will be more than 6,000 pints of luscious strawberries (for sale in flats, pints, and

sundaes). More than 75 flats of this fabulous fruit are just for the sundae station. According to Vern Grubinger, a vegetable and berry expert at the University of Vermont: “Nationally, over half of the nearly 3 billion pounds of berries grown each year comes from specialized farms in California, with Florida a distant second.” A member of the rose family, the wild Virginia strawberry – Fragaria virginiana – is native to North America. Although the plants can last up to six years, most commercial growers dig them up and plant them as an annual. See FESTIVAL, Page 26

The 2018 edition of the Hunt Country Stable Tour set for May 26 and 27 The 2018 Hunt Country Stable Tour will honor the memory of the late Bunny and Paul Mellon. As longtime members of Trinity Episcopal Church, they gave the native Virginia sandstone complex of the church, rectory and parish hall to Meade Parish in 1960. Through their generosity, the Mellons, who lived in Upperville, enhanced this astonishing expanse of the countryside with her deep adoration of gardening and horticulture and his love of horses and commitment to preserving the land. The Mellons’ Oak Spring Foundation will be the highlight of this year’s tour. Mr. Mellon’s hunter and jumper barn and one of his yearling barns will be on view. The stalls will feature information from his notes about each horse stabled here. There will be a 15-minute film about his champion horse, Mill Reef, who was foaled 50 years ago. The film will also will also introduce the foundation, which includes Mrs. Mellon’s nearby horticultural research library that is not part of the tour. The Middleburg Agriculture and Research Center, known as the MARE center, was originally donated by Paul Mellon in 1992. It was designed by Blackburn Architects of Washington, D.C. and features their signature ventilation plans. John Blackburn has done more than 200 horse facilities in 35 states and six countries. He’ll be on hand to discuss his work and sign copies of his

Salamander Equestrian Center set on 340 acres in the heart of Middleburg was originally the Harriman Estate. There is a 22-stall stable, a 120 by 240 foot outdoor area with Thor-Turf footing, miles of trails and nine turnout paddocks.

The center fosters research aimed at improving pasture and animal productivity and is operated by Virginia Tech. Affectionately called “the training track” by locals, the Middleburg Equestrian Center is in the process of a major renovation. Built by Paul Mellon in 1956, and now owned by Charles “Chuck” Kuhn, it’s a Hunt Country Stable Tour tradition to stop early Saturday morning to see thoroughbred horses condition and train on the racetrack. Horses begin their training here as yearlings, before going on to compete in local and national races. Spectacular Bid, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in 1979, trained here.

The return of Mill Reef

New replica statue of Mellon racehorse part of Stable Tour The Oak Spring Garden Foundation has unveiled a bronze replica of the statue of the late Paul Mellon’s most famous racehorse, Mill Reef, in the courtyard of the Oak Spring Broodmare Barn where the original statue once stood in Upperville. Mill Reef, named after the Mill Reef Club in Antigua where Mellon and his wife Bunny owned property, is one of the most famous racehorses of the 20th century. He was born in 1968 at

Rokeby Stables, Mellon’s thoroughbred breeding and training operation in Upperville.

It was decided that Mill Reef’s action better suited him for the turf courses in Europe, rather than the dirt tracks in America. In December 1969, he was sent to England to be trained by Ian Balding at Kingsclere. Mill Reef found stardom in Europe, winning 12 of his 14 races, including the Epsom Derby, the Eclipse Stakes and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Rokeby Stables ceased operations before Paul Mellon’s death in 1999, and the original statue, one of four created from the original molds, was donated to the Royal Veterinary College in the U.K. In 2017, OSGF secured permis-

A berry, berry good time in Delaplane FESTIVAL, from Page 25 “In 2010, strawberries surpassed apples to become third among fruits in their economic contribution to agriculture in the U.S., after grapes and oranges,” Grubinger has written. “And strawberries are the fifth highest-consumed fresh fruit by weight in the U.S. behind bananas, apples, oranges and grapes.” In addition to the berries, there will be more than 2,000 children’s games and prizes; 1,000 water balloons for the water-balloon toss; a “Strong Person Tractor Pull,” park ranger demonstrations, an antique car show and a magic show. The expected 10,000 visitors will also have access to: a 4-H petting farm, hayrides, face-painting and Jerry Brown

and his monkey, Django, who likes to lick the guests. Music of all kinds will float across Sky Meadows: Barbershop Quartet, The Imaginary Blues Band, the City of Winchester Pipes and Drums; musical comedy act the Spoon Man and a powerful and fabulous 17-piece swing band, the Silver Tones. And oh, we almost forgot to mention… new this year is the “Tasting Tent,” which will offer local craft brews for an additional fee of $2 per ticket. “My role is to make sure everything is running smoothly,” Knouse said. “I deal with any issues that may arise, check in on my volunteers, and fill in wherever needed. And I pray a lot.”

Tour will include: the National Sporting Library & Museum with a special exhibition of the Paul Mellon Virginia Equestrian Art Collection on display. Salamander Equestrian Center, set on 340 acres in the heart of Middleburg, was originally the Harriman Estate. At Trappe Hill Farm there will be a demonstration of horses swimming in the pond. Foxview Farm is a serene 30-acre farm with a stable in a renovated Quonset hut with show horses, cattle, chickens and elegant swans on the pond. The 350-acre Hunt Country estate, Atoka, is most famous for being the former home of U.S. Sen. John Warner and his late wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor. Belle Grey Farm embraces fox hunting, side-saddle and carriage driving and show jumping with champion resident trainer Kim Prince. Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center from Aldie will offer demonstrations. Fox Chase Farm is home to many horses and hosts competition events and social, charity and wedding events throughout the year.

sion from the estate of sculptor John R. Skeaping, R.A. to create a duplicate of one of the original statues. None of the original molds for the statue exist, so 3-D laser scanning technology was used to create a detailed computer model of one of the original copies, located at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. From this computer model a new mold was created, and a new sculpture was cast in bronze. The statue sits in the center of the courtyard of Mellon’s Broodmare Barn, which was renovated in 2017 to create accommodation and meeting space

for artists and scholars visiting OSGF. All the rooms in the refurbished Broodmare Barn are decorated with exquisite art reproduced mainly from the Paul Mellon collections now at the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. OSGF is a private operating foundation established by Bunny Mellon in 1993. OSGF in its current form began operations after her death in 2014. The foundation’s mission is to support and inspire fresh thinking and bold action on the history and future of plants, including the art and culture of gardens and landscapes.

COOK-OUT CUISINE What our local chefs tote to their summer gatherings Compiled by Delia Engstrom, Contributing Writer Even professional chefs get invited to summer get-togethers, and when they do, everyone looks forward to what they bring. In the spirit of Memorial Day and the unofficial start of the summer cook-out season, we asked chefs from some of Warrenton and Fauquier County’s most popular restaurants to tell us what they like to bring to summer parties. Their suggestions ranged from a light pasta dish to down-home southern fried chicken. George Jolley, of Sibby’s Restaurant & Lounge, even included a lively (adult) summer lemonade. Thanks to all for sharing their specialties. Enjoy!

Grioli’s Italian Bistro Chef Vince Vitale, owner of Grioli’s Italian Bistro in Bealeton, began cooking at the age of 15. Working summers at his father’s pizza shop in Lynchburg and alongside his mother in the kitchen at home, he quickly became familiar with family recipes from Sicily. A traditional Sicilian dish that was a staple in the Vitale home is pasta aglio e olio. This simple, yet flavorful dish has a short ingredient list but is long on flavor. Take advantage of summertime fragrant basil and vine-fresh tomatoes for this authentic Sicilian meal.

Pappardelle Aglio e Olio (Garlic & Oil) Ingredients: 1 lb. pappardelle (or fettuccine) 1 bulb of garlic 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper 4 oz extra virgin olive oil 2 oz fresh basil 2 oz white dry wine 2 oz of veggie stock 1 Roma tomato Cooking Instructions: Boil pasta until cooked al dente. Peel bulb of garlic and slice each clove into 1/4-inch slices. Take basil leaves and stack and roll then slice into small ribbons. Dice the Roma tomato in to small chunks. Take frying pan and set on stove to medium heat. Once hot, add 1 oz of EVOO and garlic; allow to caramelize but not burn. Once garlic begins to caramelize, add crushed red pepper, tomato, basil and deglaze pan with

white wine. Add pasta to pan, add veggie stock, stir for 1 minute and plate up. Buon appetito! Visit Grioli’s at 11085 Marsh Road, Suite A, Bealeton. Hours are Monday through Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; and Sunday 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m. 540-439-3332. www.griolisbistro.com

Join the Great American Read at your library

In the wake of the first Fauquier Community Read, Fauquier County Public Library knows first-hand the deep connection the community has to reading. “Over 800 people checked out “Thunder Dog” by Michael Hingson during the 2018 Fauquier Community Read and hundreds more attended events that were part of the program. That is a clear testament to the importance and love of reading in our community,” noted Maria Del Rosso.

CONGRATS 2018 GRAD!

PBS recently announced The Great American Read List of America’s 100 Favorite Novels. The Great American Read is part of a new PBS series and multi-platform initiative that celebrates the joy of reading and books we love. The list was chosen through a national survey of 7,200 individuals. The list is the first step in The Great American Read’s quest to choose “America’s Best-Loved Novel” and, according to Paula Kerger, PBS President and CEO, is intended to “inspire a national conversation about beloved books and the power of reading.” The List of America’s 100 Favorite Novels is limited to fiction books from anywhere in the world, as long as it was published in English. It contains books as far back as the 1600s, includes beloved world literature and contemporary best sellers and represents diverse categories from classics to sci-fi/fantasy. Fauquier County Public Library’s collection includes almost every title that appears on the list, in diverse formats

My Precious

Brandon! You stole my heart right from the start. As I watch over you from Heaven, you make me proud every day! Never forget my love for you and never change your sweet ways!

Love you always, Nanny

There are several ways you can join in the Great American Read at your local library: Pick up a copy of America’s 100 Favorite Novels list at your local library or visit https://fauquierlibrary. org/for-readers/ to see the list, sorted by genre, with convenient links directly to the library’s catalog. Browse our Great American Read display. Beginning June 1 a different genre from the list will be on display. Read any book on the America’s 100 Favorite Novels list and use it to cross off a square on your Library Bingo card (part of the adult summer reading program beginning June 1). Visit https://www.facebook.com/ fauquierlibrary/ and post the title of your favorite book from the America’s 100 Favorite Novels list, using #GreatReadFCPL.

Community mourns the loss of Billy Jenkins

ANNE DAVIS

It’s raining ...again. Flood warnings with plenty of this cloudy, humid stuff in the forecast. Some folks have prayed for rain, but this is a little TOO much. The community of Orlean has been saddened this past week with the loss of our friend and neighbor, Billy Jenkins. Who was Billy Jenkins? Husband, father, grandfather, auto mechanic, longest-serving active member of the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, dedicated camper and RV traveler, lover of bluegrass music, bowling, NASCAR fan, skilled bush hog operator and much more.

MARKHAM HUME ORLEAN 540-364-1828 hlfmhouse@aol.com Billy worked hard and played hard. He served the fire department for more than 40 years in different capacities.

working order. During the last several years he served on the new building committee and had hoped to see the new station completed. His loss leaves a huge hole in the life of OVFRD. When Billy retired from the automotive repair business, he helped many in our local community by bush hogging their fields. It’s easy to remember him pulling into the Orlean Market to get fuel and a snack on the way to complete a field job with his buddy, Wade Bragg. Billy, Sharon and their friends enjoyed many camping trips with their RVs. Those trips were special times to enjoy good food and good company. He enjoyed his bowling league and good bluegrass music and an

occasional “adult beverage.” An especially funny joke would make him really laugh. The final tributes were paid to Billy during the services on Wednesday, May 16.
