Charlottesville-area distillery owner Denver Riggleman became the Republican Party’s nominee in the 5thDistrict congressional race on Saturday, holding off a challenge from Cynthia Dunbar, who just last month failed to win the 6th District GOP nomination. Dunbar was a surprise entry in the field of six candidates whose names were placed in nomination at Nelson County High School in Lovingston, Virginia. The field included 18thDistrict Del. Michael Webert, of Marshall, and farm owner Martha Boneta, of Paris. Both failed to get enough votes to advance beyond the first round of voting.

CJ Franklin lost to cancer not long after Lynette’s death. “To lose my best friend who was also my mentor and the pastor’s wife and then my sister Sandy was devastating,” says CJ. Then, cancer struck again. This time to her husband Darrell of nearly 35 years. A headache that wasn’t going away turned out to be a tumor. “When you hear the diagnosis, the breath is sucked out of you,” CJ recalls. But in the case of her husband, she was a bit more prepared. She knew the support that exists out there. She knew she wouldn’t be alone. “The day you are diagnosed is the day you start fighting for your life.” “He’s my hero, he’s the Ethel to my Lucy,” chuckles CJ of her husband, who, while still struggling, is hanging in there and doing better. This year’s Fauquier County Relay for Life event is Saturday, June 9. Opening ceremonies begin at 5 p.m. at Fauquier County High School. Events continue ending Saturday evening with the Luminaria Ceremony, a touching celebration to honor survivors, loved ones, newly diagnosed — each light is a life.

Vogel supports Medicaid expansion Fauquier state senator breaks party ranks to provide health care to 400,000 low-income Virginians By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Fauquier state Sen. Jill Vogel broke with most members of her party this week by voting for a new state budget that expands Medicaid, allowing an estimated 400,000 Virginians to access federal health-care insurance for the poor. Vogel, R-27th, was among four Republicans who voted with the state Senate’s 19 Democrats to bring an end to nearly five years of GOP intransigence over allowing the Affordable Care Act — also known as “Obamacare” — to be fully realized in the commonSen. Jill Vogel wealth. Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government covers 90 percent of the cost of Medicaid for new enrollees, an amount expected to be about $2 billion a year in Virginia. The state will become the 33rd to expand Medicaid since the Affordable Care Act went into effect in 2014. The program is expected to begin Jan. 1, 2019. In comments before the vote, Vogel, who has been mum on about her position on Medicaid in recent months, said she remains concerned the federal government might renege on that funding — a main point of contention among Republicans — and about the growth of the existing Medicaid program, which has averaged about 8 percent a year. But Vogel also said there’s also much to be “proud of” in the new budget, including a measure requiring private insurance companies that cover state employees to pay for autism-related treatments for dependents through age 18, something Vogel has championed for years. Vogel also pointed to increased funding for agriculture and conservation programs as reasons for voting in favor of the spending plan. “It’s really important to me, if I ask for things and they are included, that I have the integrity to vote for the budget,” Vogel said. Joining Vogel in voting for the budget were Republican Sens. Frank Wagner (7th), Ben Chafin (38th) and Emmett Hanger (24th). The Medicaid expansion measure the General Assembly approved includes the work requirement House Republicans added in their initial bill, which passed with the support of 19 Republican delegates in February. The measure requires able-bodied adults to hold jobs or be in job training to qualify for the program with some exceptions. State Sen. Jeremy McPike, a Democrat from Prince William County, called the vote a “big win for the people of Virginia.”
“This bipartisan compromise fulfills the voter’s wishes to expand access to healthcare for over 300,000 hard-working Virginians while allowing us to invest in other priorities like public education. Passing this budget today was the fiscally and morally responsible thing to do, and I proudly voted in favor of it.” The state’s portion of the cost to expand Medicaid will be paid for by a new “providers’ assessment” — essentially a tax on hospitals — which were generally supported by the state’s hospital executives because Medicaid expansion is expected to result in a net boost to their bottom lines. The budget bill, with its infusion of federal Medicaid dollars, will allow the state to use money it had been spending on indigent care toward priorities such as education, mental health care and Medicaid “waivers” for those who are developmentally disabled. Locally, the budget will direct millions more in state funding to local school divisions. The bill also boosts the Medicaid reimbursement rate to hospitals from 71 percent to 88 percent of health-care costs. The budget also: • Reinvests over $191 million in general fund savings for behavioral health and developmental services;
COURTESY PHOTO The Virginia General Assembly meets in the state Capitol building in Richmond. • Provides $57.8 million for 1,645 new “Medicaid waivers” for citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities; • Fully funds K-12 re-benchmarking, provides a 3-percent pay raise for teachers and increases funding for early childhood education; • Includes a 2-percent across-theboard pay raise and a 2-percent merit-pay increase for state employees; • Raises the minimum salary for sheriff’s deputies, correctional
officers in Department of Corrections & Department of Juvenile Justice to $32,500, and gives targeted pay raises for Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services direct care staff; • Brings the state’s total reserve fund balances to $975 million, or more than 5 percent of general fund revenue, by the end of the biennium, a move that is hoped to maintain Virginia’s AAA bond rating.

A no-vote on Medicaid, Freitas shuns ‘establishment’ label By Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writer
Republican U.S. Senate hopefuls Corey Stewart and Del. Nick Freitas may not agree on much, but they did agree on one thing last week: That Medicaid shouldn’t be expanded in Virginia. The Virginia’s General Assembly took budget votes May 30 to expand Medicaid in the state to cover non-disabled, low-income adults making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or a maximum of $16,643 a year. State lawmakers debated the issue for five years — ever since the Affordable Care Act made such an expansion possible in 2014 — but Republicans resisted the idea, claiming the federal government could not be trusted to pay its promised 90 percent share of the cost. Freitas voted against the move last week, and Stewart, chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, held a press conference to lambaste Republicans who voted with their Democratic colleagues to open the federal health-care program to an estimated 300,000-plus low-income Virginians. “If the goal is to provide quality and affordable health care to all our citizens, government micromanagement is not the answer,” Freitas said in a prepared statement May 30. “We need to focus on policies that allow greater competition and innovation.” A day after the vote, Freitas said he’s concerned expanding Medicaid will cost more than projected, and that lawmakers will either have to raise taxes or cut funding for other spending priorities, such as education, public safety and transportation.
Del. Nick Freitas He also said he’s skeptical the quality of care will be as good as what many are expecting. “So I just don’t think it was a good plan,” he said. For his part, Stewart, R-At Large, deplored Republican lawmakers who voted in favor of expanding Medicaid. Four GOP senators joined 19 Democrats to pass the measure in a 23-to-17 vote in the state Senate. The vote was 67 to 31 in the House of Delegates, with 19 Republicans joining 48 Democrats to vote in favor of a budget that includes expansion. “This is what happens when you elect Republicans who don’t have a backbone, who don’t stand up for anything,” Stewart said. While many attributed the budget vote to the 2017 election, during which 15 Republican delegates lost seats to Democrats who support Medicaid expansion, Stewart said he sees it differently. Republican candidates lost last year’s election, he said, because they didn’t give the “Republican base” a reason to go to the polls.
Instead of expanding Medicaid, Stewart said he would like to see a full repeal of Obamacare and have the federal government send block grants to the states so they can come up with their own health care programs for the poor. Expanding Medicaid in Virginia, however, is expected to bring $2 billion in additional federal money to the state’s coffers annually while providing health insurance to the poor. That includes 3,400 people in Freitas’ 30th House District, which takes in Madison and Orange counties and part of Culpeper County, according to an analysis by the Commonwealth Institute, which scrutinizes public policy.
‘Liberty-minded Republican’
In addition to his strong words at the press conference, Stewart has called Freitas, of Culpeper, the “establishment” candidate in the race that also features E.W. Jackson, the 2013 Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. The trio will compete in a primary
Tuesday, June 12, for the opportunity to square off against U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, in November. But Freitas, a 38-year-old national security consultant who has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., called that characterization “absurd.” “I’m a very liberty-minded Republican,” he said. Having served two combat tours as a Green Beret in the Middle East, Freitas said he believes in strengthening the military but that the U.S. shouldn’t serve as the world’s police force. He also believes in lowering taxes and making the recent Trump administration tax cuts permanent. Freitas, who is in his second term in the Virginia House, is concerned about the federal regulatory environment, as well, saying too many onerous regulations can stifle economic development. And, like Stewart, he backs President Donald Trump, though he said as a senator, his responsibility would be to the Constitution and to his constituents. “I definitely support what the president is doing,” he said. First and foremost, though, Freitas is guided by his Christian faith. “My dedication to the belief that we all have inherent value and are entitled to liberty and equality before the law is rooted in this worldview,” he said on his campaign website. “Individual liberty, personal responsibility, respect for God and limited, constitutional government are not merely convenient political concepts, but essentials which are fundamental to our liberty, prosperity and security.” Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier.com
Republicans pick Denver Riggleman to face Cockburn in 5th District RIGGLEMAN from page 1 The other two other candidates were Michael Del Rosso and former Capitol Hill staffer Joe Whited, both of whom sought the nomination won two years ago by U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett. Garrett announced last Monday he’s not seeking re-election to deal with an addiction to alcohol. The 5th District Republican Committee hurriedly arranged Saturday’s meeting in the wake of Garrett’s video-taped announcement which he released on Memorial Day. That left the Republicans scrambling to name another candidate before a June 12 deadline. Riggleman will face Democrat Leslie Cockburn, a former “60 Minutes” and “Frontline” journalist, in the Nov. 6 general election. Cockburn lives in Rappahannock County. “It is now time to come togeth-
er a party and focus our energy to beat Leslie Cockburn,” Riggleman said in a Facebook post after his selection. “As a political outsider, veteran, and small business owner, I commit to bringing a fresh perspective to DC and focus on bringing jobs back to the Fifth district.” Reacting to the nomination, the Democratic Party of Virginia issued a statement referring to Riggleman as a “House Freedom Caucus hopeful.” “House Freedom Caucus hopeful Denver Riggleman compromised and cut enough deals to win the congressional nomination of a deeply damaged, divided and chaotic Republican Party,” the DPV statement said. “Leslie Cockburn has been traveling the district for almost a year, meeting voters where they are. Leslie’s values are in line with the needs and wants of 5th District voters.” Riggleman emerged as the nomi-
nee about five hours into Saturday’s meeting. He, along with Dunbar, Del Rosso and Whited survived the first round of voting. Whited was cut after the second round, having received the fewest votes among the group. Advancing from the third to the fourth round were Dunbar and Riggleman. The candidates had five minutes each to speak to the gathering. Individuals in support of candidates spoke as well. Choosing a nominee to replace Garrett fell to 37 voting committee members. Dunbar’s entry into the race was strongly supported as shown by the fact that she was one of two candidates left standing in the fourth round of voting. “[Dunbar’s] ability to run has been totally vetted by RPV general counsel,” Greg Schumacher, who was recently elected chairman of
the Fauquier County GOP committee, said in a text from the floor of the proceedings. “This is a special election and special circumstances, so rules for primaries don’t apply.” Buchanan said he favored Dunbar but said he’ll support Riggleman. “I’m looking for somebody to stand up to the leadership on conservative issues and support the issues conservatives have been taking,” Buchanan said. Riggleman owns the Silverback Distillery outside Charlottesville and has promised to bring an outsider’s perspective to Washington. Riggleman also pledged to support President Donald Trump’s agenda. “I think we have a great nominee,” said Schumacher, who declined to say who he voted for among the candidates seeking the nomination.

In final stretch for senate nomination, Stewart sticks to his script STEWART from page 1
Stewart on the trail
Stewart, 49, is the at-large chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors. But since beginning his third term in 2016, Stewart has twice sought higher office. After losing the GOP primary for governor to Ed Gillespie in June 2017, Stewart is back on the ballot this month, seeking his party’s nomination for U.S. Senate. This time, Stewart faces Del. Nick Freitas, of Culpeper, and E.W. Jackson, a pastor and 2013 Republican nominee for lieutenant governor from Virginia Beach, in a June 12 primary to square off against incumbent U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat, in November. On May 26, he brought his message to Sterling and to Bealeton, a message that included talk of illegal immigration, historical monuments and armed security in schools.
• “We have to deport people who are here illegally, especially when they commit crimes.”
‘We’re going to build the wall’
In Sterling, Stewart spoke to a feisty crowd of about 45 people, mostly middle-aged and older, at Joe’s Pizzaria. He told them a recent poll of likely primary voters by Atlantic Research found him ahead of the GOP pack at 32 percent, with Freitas at 9 percent and Jackson at 5 percent, and he discussed what he would do if elected. Illegal immigration is a signature Stewart issue, and it was a big part of his talk. He championed a Prince William County regulation, passed in 2007 and put into practice in 2008, that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone arrested on criminal charges. He said Democrats “glorify illegal aliens,” but said those here illegally are committing crimes and some are in the Latino gang MS-13, which he said is running rampant in Northern Virginia. “We have to deport people who are here illegally, especially when they commit crimes,” he said. As a U.S. senator, Stewart said he would work with President Donald Trump to check the immigration status of those arrested in every locality and remove illegal aliens from the population. “And once we deport them, they’re not coming back because we’re going to build the wall,” Stewart said to rousing applause. In Prince William, 8,121 criminal illegal immigrants have been handed over to federal officials for deportation since 2008, he said after his talk. During last year’s campaign, Stewart also came to be associated with advocating for the preservation of Confederate monuments, and he spoke about that stance in Sterling, as well. “Only tyrants take down monuments,” he said. If elected, Stewart said he would sponsor legislation to amend the Antiquities Act of 1906 to federally protect historical monuments. On school security, Stewart said that shootings are occurring because
• “And once we deport them, they’re not coming back because we’re going to build the wall”. • “Only tyrants take down monuments”. • “We need to put God back into the schools.” • “Don’t you think it’s a little ironic that we protect our money with guns but we protect our kids with signs?” of a breakdown in society that began with taking God out of the schools. “We need to put God back into the schools,” he said. And he said putting up “gun-free zone” signs at schools isn’t an effective way to protect students. “Don’t you think it’s a little ironic that we protect our money with guns but we protect our kids with signs?” he asked. The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun, Stewart said, and he pointed out that Prince William will launch a pilot program July 1 to place five armed civilian security guards in some elementary schools in addition to school-resource officers, sworn police personnel who patrol the schools. The armed security guards will be retired law-enforcement officers. It’s a system that Stewart said should be replicated across the nation. “We have to put armed guards in every one of our schools in the country and stop these school shootings,” he said. Stewart touts himself as a “non-establishment” candidate. Bolstering that claim, he told the crowd in Sterling that, if elected, he would vote against Mitch McConnell as GOP leader in the Senate. And he took time to attack his potential general-election opponent, saying Kaine, who was Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate in 2016, is “getting nothing done” in the Senate. “What has Tim Kaine done? He did do one thing. He ran for vice president. And he did a pretty damn bad job, too, didn’t he? It was a terrible job. Even Hillary thought he did a bad job,” Stewart said. The Kaine campaign, however, wasn’t fazed by Stewart’s words. “While Corey is hurling baseless insults, Senator Kaine is focused on improving the economy, expanding access to health care, and making sure our commonwealth works for all Virginians — because this race should be about the ideas that help Virginians get ahead, not silly attacks,” campaign spokesman Brandon Gassaway said in an email a few days later.
Supporters call Stewart ‘honest, straightforward’
Those in the crowd at Joe’s, though, ate up Stewart’s sentiment as they chomped on pizza.
Without Stewart, people would have been killed by MS-13 and other illegal immigrant gangs, former Loudoun County supervisor Eugene Delgaudio said. “He has saved lives,” Delgaudio said. Stewart’s strong stance on illegal immigration also appeals to Phillip Joy, who lives in the Manassas area. “Corey was way ahead of the curve when it came to dealing with illegal aliens,” he said. Richard Ryan of Ashburn said he would vote for Stewart in the primary, and he said he appreciates that the candidate is a big Trump supporter. “He’s adhering to the things that President Trump talks about,” he said. John Judge of Ashburn said Stewart is honest and straightforward. “He’ll deliver. He doesn’t beat around the bush. We need people
like that. We need honest people in the Senate.” Before coming to Sterling, Stewart shook hands at a Memorial Daythemed event at the Bealeton Village Center shopping area, and he was pleased that a lot of people already knew his name. “I think I’m doing pretty good in this county, eh?” he said to a reporter. “Lot of name-recognition.” Three days later, Stewart announced that he had raised more than $850,000 in his election effort. That’s more than Freitas had raised as of March 31, $343,712, and more than Jackson had raised, $159,200. Still, all three Republicans trail Kaine in the money race by a wide margin. He had more than $10 million on hand as of March 31. Reach Jonathan Hunley at jhunley@fauquier.com

PATH Foundation sells interest in Fauquier Health The PATH Foundation has sold its 20-percent ownership interest in Fauquier Health to Tennessee-based LifePoint Health, a move that infused the nonprofit’s charitable endowment with an additional $47 million. The sale began back in November but was finalized Thursday. The sale amount is $14 million more than the initial $33 million estimate PATH officials reported last year when the nonprofit first announced plans to sell its ownership share in Fauquier Health. The sale brings the PATH Foundation’s total endowment to $240 million, according to a May 31 press release. The hospital and related facilities are now solely owned by LifePoint Health, a for-profit, publicly traded health care company. The end of the PATH Foundation’s ownership in Fauquier Health comes about four and a half years after the Fauquier Health Board of Directors agreed to enter into a joint venture with LifePoint. The deal allowed FHI Services, a corporation of the PATH Foundation, to retain 20-percent ownership while a subsidiary of LifePoint Health acquired 80-percent ownership of the health system, the press release. John McCarthy, chair of the PATH Foundation, said the sale of those assets allows the nonprofit to concentrate on its core mission. “The completion of this agreement will allow us to better serve our communities by focusing solely on the PATH Foundation’s work of strengthening overall health and wellness without the complexities of 20-percent ownership of the health system,” McCarthy said in a statement. Christy Connolly, president and CEO of the PATH Foundation, noted the sale will boost the PATH Foundation’s grant-making capacity. PATH has donated nearly $11 million to local efforts since its inception. The nonprofit serves Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper. “Finalizing the end of the joint venture simply means the PATH Foundation has increased funds that go to our mission of strengthening the health and vitality of our community,” Connolly said in the press release. “This will be reflected in both grants offered to area nonprofits and government entities, as well as in programs initiated by the foundation.” The press release noted that

PATH will still work in with area health systems and nonprofits. “For example, work to develop community health worker programs and mental health services at the Fauquier Free Clinic will continue,” the statement said. “These programs benefit the health of community members, as well as reducing avoidable Emergency Room visits and readmissions to hospitals.” The PATH Foundation’s four main areas of focus, based on a 2017 community health needs assessment, are: access to care, childhood wellness, mental health and senior services. The news comes just as the PATH Foundation prepares to move into its new office space on Walker Drive. The nonprofit purchased two floors of a new office building under construction there for $4 million. One floor will house PATH Foundation staff as well as the Mental Health Association of Fauquier and the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation. The second floor will house the PATH Resource Center — including the volunteer hub and a new “Center for Nonprofit Excellence” — as well as meeting room space available for use by nonprofits and government entities. That space will include a large conference room for up to 80 attendees and a smaller space for 20 attendees, according to Amy Petty, a PATH Foundation spokeswoman.
PATH Foundation announces $746,000 in new grants Staff Reports The PATH Foundation has announced grants to 20 area organizations totaling $746,000 from their most recent round of grant applications, which are focused on projects and planning. The projects selected relate to one or more of the PATH Foundation’s four priority areas: access to care, childhood wellness, mental health and senior services, according to a PATH press release issued Friday, June 1. The selected grantees have one year to use the funding provided to them, the press release said. The grants reflect a $250,000 increase over the previous year’s projects and planning grants, according to Christy Connolly, president and CEO of the PATH Foundation. “Each one of these recipients has demonstrated a solid plan or program that aligns with our mission to strengthen the health and vitality of our community,” Connolly said in the press release. “The board and staff appreciate this opportunity to help with their efforts.” A total of $746,881.07 will be awarded to the following organizations (pending finalization of grant agreements): • Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County: $65,765 to collect and catalog local historical data within the African-American community. • Aging Together: $62,000 to facilitate strategic planning in assessing issues facing seniors and caregivers in our region. • Fauquier CADRE: $20,000 to continue and expand the Lock Your Meds program.

Digital alerts help solve two local cases By Leland Schwartz Time Staff Writer
Two local criminal cases — one a hunt for a felon on the loose, possibly with a gun, outside Marshall, the other a search for the culprit who ripped up part of a WARF field with a Jeep — were solved with the aid of digital tools: one most of us already use, the other something the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office wants all of us to sign up for. Shortly after a Jeep was caught on a WARF security camera, its driver having dug a deep donut in the wet grass on Union Bank field as a high-school graduation prank, Town Councilman Sean Polster posted a few pictures and a call for help on his Facebook page, prompting a flood of tips and, eventually, the suspect’s apprehension. Polster (at large) said his WARF posts were shared more than 1,500 times and reached nearly 200,000 people on Facebook alone, leading the owner of the vehicle to call to say it was their teenage son. Just days earlier, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, two state game wardens and a K-9 team from the Virginia State Police were on the tail of a wanted felon when a message was sent to residents in the area who had signed up to receive emergency alerts from the county’s Everbridge system. The officers were not but a few hundred yards away when a local resident, having received a description of the suspect via Everbridge, spotted him near the local cemetery and called 911, leading officers right to the suspect. The Everbridge system, which has thousands of email addresses and phone numbers from people who have signed up voluntarily, is only used a few times a month for critical messages. “We don’t want to overload people with it and have them become complacent,” said Sara Makely, deputy coordinator of the Fauquier County Department of Fire Rescue & Emergency Management. To catch the suspect outside Marshall, Joell Kight, FCSO communications manager, explained how dispatchers call up a map of Fauqui-

er and draw a polygon around the point of interest, identifying phone numbers and emails of contacts in the area. “We use it for more of the serious alert situations so when you get that message you know that it’s important,” Kight said. Fauquier County Sheriff Deputy 1st Class Aaron Vescovi, the first officer to respond in the Marshall case, said, “We weren’t sure what we had. All we had was a man with a gun 911 call.” Vescovi said the Everbridge system set up an immediate perimeter, particularly important because, as in the Marshall case, the suspect was trying to make phone calls to friends. “And it’s just a matter of time until they would pick them up, and then they would be gone,” Vescovi said. “It happens a lot,” he said. “A number of our searches have ended that way.” Everbridge, the company that supplies Fauquier and many other counties with its alert system, says, “One call reaches all.” But the sheriff’s office says for that to work best, everyone should sign up by searching “Fauquier Everbridge” and following one of the links.

Couple arrested for child endangerment after suspected overdose An 8-year-old boy was found in a 7-Eleven parking lot in Bealeton last week while his parents were in their car nearby, reacting to a suspected opioid overdose, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff’s deputies responded to callers who reported an unconscious woman in a car in front of the 7-Eleven on Marsh Road just before midnight Friday, May 25. Deputies found the woman in the driver’s seat and a male passenger next to her in the front seat. Deputies determined they were the boy’s parents. Deputies observed the woman was not breathing, and both appeared to be reacting to an opioid overdose, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman said in a statement. Hartman said deputies removed the female from the car and “immediately performed life-saving measures to include administering Narcan.” The child was taken into custody and turned over to the state Department of Social Services. The parents were transported to the Fauquier Hospital emergency room for treatment. Both were taken into custody upon release from the hospital. Alicia Rae Gribble, 28, of Amissville, was charged with child endangerment, DUI and driving on a suspended license. Larry Augustus Washington II, 37, of Bealeton, was charged with child endangerment, in connection with the incident. Both are being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center without bond.
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY’S REQUEST TO REVISE ITS FUEL FACTOR CASE NO. PUR-2018-00067 On May 4, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Company” or “Dominion Energy Virginia”) iled with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) its application (“Application”) pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia seeking an increase in its fuel factor from 2.383 cents per kilowatt-hour (“0/kWh”) to 2.7190/kWh, effective for usage on and after July 1, 2018. The Company’s proposed fuel factor, relected in Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of both a current and prior period factor. The Company’s proposed current period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 2.2660/ kWh is designed to recover the Company’s estimated Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of approximately $1.50 billion for the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019. The Company’s proposed prior period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 0.4530/kWh is designed to recover approximately $299 4 million, which represents the net of two projected June 30, 2018 fuel deferral balances. In total, Dominion Energy Virginia’s proposed fuel factor represents a 0.3360/kWh increase from the fuel factor rate presently in effect of 2.3830/kWh, which was approved in Case No. PUR-2017-00058. According to the Company, this proposal would result in an annual fuel revenue increase of approximately $221.8 million between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. The total proposed fuel factor would increase the average weighted monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity by $3.36, or by approximately 2.9%. The Commission entered an Order Establishing 20182019 Fuel Factor Proceeding (“Order”) that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing to be held on July 25, 2018, at 10 a.m. in the Commission’s second loor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness at this hearing should appear 15 minutes before the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff Individuals with disabilities who require an accommodation to participate in the hearing should contact the Commission at least seven (7) days before the scheduled hearing at 1-800-552-7945. In its Order, the Commission also allowed the Company to place its proposed fuel factor of 2.7190/kWh into effect on an interim basis for usage on or after July 1, 2018. Copies of the public version of all documents iled in this case are available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the irst loor 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.

State sets June 19 hearing on controversial election flyers By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
The Virginia State Board of Elections has set a new hearing June 19 to hear complaints filed regarding controversial flyers distributed before the May 1 town elections that encouraged voters to support incumbent Warrenton Town Councilman Sean Polster and candidate Renard Carlos over incumbent Town Councilwoman Linda “Sunny” Reynolds.

At issue is whether Fauquier Voters for Truth followed state election laws when it distributed the flyers in support of Polster and Carlos, both of whom won at-large council seats
in the May 1 contest. The group was not registered with the state as a political action committee when it paid for the flyers as well as robocalls in support of Polster and Carlos. The group did, however, register as a PAC within 10 days of its campaign efforts in order to satisfy state law, according

to Warrenton resident Chris Bonner, a founding member of the group. Bonner said he plans to attend the 11:30 a.m. hearing and anticipates the PAC “will be cleared of the charges.” “We have lawfully disclosed our activities and expect that the State Board of Elections will agree,” Bonner said in a statement. The board was originally set to hear the case on May 21 but removed the group from its agenda, citing the need for more time to review the matter. Tony Tedeschi, who helped run Reynolds’ campaign and was among those made complaints to state officials about the flyers and robocalls, said he believes the effort “conducted on behalf of Sean Polster was in violation of the spirit of the law the town adopted in 2014.” “Using a corporation that was not registered as a PAC, Yak Lubowsky and others distributed flyers to neighborhoods the weekend before the election to create chaos that could not be answered by Ms. Reynolds. They used the LLC to hide where their money was coming from and who was behind it. Town elections like ours should never have dark money,” Tedeschi said in a statement. The flyers contained a letter to the editor written by Lubowsky, a former Warrenton town councilman. Fauquier Voters for Truth listed one campaign contribution on its campaign-finance reporting form: $900 from National Administrative Services. Warrenton attorney Scott Hook is listed as the corporation’s registered agent, according to State Corporation Commission records. The entity lists its address as 67 W. Lee St. in Warrenton. Hook has not responded to requests for comment. Bonner has said he does not know who is behind National Administrative Services. Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Dems make their case for the conservative 1st District By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Edwin Santana, a former U.S. Marine officer from Stafford County, came out on top of a May 29 straw poll after he and his two opponents in the race for their party’s nomination for the 1st District congressional seat held their last debate in Woodbridge before the June 12 primary. It’s the second straw poll Santana, 28, has won in Prince William. Over the weekend, he also picked up the endorsement of Del. Lee Carter from the Manassas-area 50th District. Three days earlier, however, Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, threw his support behind Vangie Williams, the 49-year-old King George County government contractor vying to be the first woman of color to win the seat. Torian called Williams “a champion of the people” Edwin Santana and said her qualifications and experience make her the best candidate. A few days later, a former chairman of the Prince William Democratic Committee, endorsed John Suddarth, 58, a Prince William native Vangie Williams who now lives in Hanover County. Harry Wiggins called Suddarth, a West Point grad, former U.S. Army officer, aerospace engineer and business executive, “exceptionally qualified and well John Suddarth positioned” to beat Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman. If local Democratic voters seem torn about which of the three candidates to support in the primary, it might be because they’re out of practice. The party hasn’t held a primary to pick a candidate in the 1st District since 1976. A Democrat hasn’t won the seat since 1974. Wittman has held the seat since 2006 and has been re-elected every year since with at least 59 percent of the vote. The 1st District, which includes much of Prince William County and four precincts in Fauquier County — Catlett, Lois, Morrisville and Bealeton — leans decidedly more red than the rest of the state. In 2017, 1st District voters picked Republican Ed Gillespie with 54 percent of the vote even though Gillespie went on to lose Virginia to Gov. Ralph Northam (D) statewide by nearly 9 percentage points. David Pala, executive director of the Prince William Democratic Committee, says the primary is unchartered
territory for local Democrats used to having only one candidate compete in the 1st District. Pala said each of the candidates is popular in their respective regions. The district stretches from Prince William County to Hampton Roads. During the May 29 debate, candidates stressed their support for Democratic positions such as single-payer health care and universal background checks for gun purchases, but also underscored their bona fides for appealing to more conservative voters. Santana said he’ll be “a true advocate” for members of the military. Santana’s wife is still active-duty at Quantico, and the couple has two young
children. He said he’s concerned too many young Marine families make so little they qualify for food stamps. “I want to make sure there’s an advocate for the people who wear the uniform, not just for defense contractors who can cash a big check when they [the military] keeps on building,” Santana said. Williams said it’s important to reach out to conservative voters and hear their concerns, something she says she tries to do regularly around her own community. “I know there are people in this room who have family members who they haven’t talked to since Donald Trump was elected,” Williams said at
one point during the debate. “That’s unhealthy!” Suddarth stressed his credentials not only as a former military officer but also as a businessman. Prince William community activist Barbara Larrimore, well known for her efforts to secure more recess time in Virginia schools, said she supports Santana because he understands everyday issues families face, such as the high costs of housing in Northern Virginia. “He struggles with all the same things other middle income people experience,” Larrimore said. “So he understands our problems.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Whatever her reasons, Vogel did the right thing
As one of 21 Republicans in Virginia’s closely-divided state Senate, Fauquier’s Sen. Jill Vogel could have made a big statement last week by stepping out in strong support of Medicaid expansion, a change that will open the federal health-care program for the poor to an estimated 1,600 low-income residents of Fauquier County. Medicaid expansion is a bit complicated, but it’s a big deal. Until now, Virginia has had one of the least-generous Medicaid programs in the country. A family of three could earn no more than $6,900 a year to qualify for Virginia’s Medicaid, which is administered by both the state and the federal governments. Able-bodied, childless adults were not eligible for Medicaid, no matter how little they made. The result was that an estimated 400,000 people — including those who are unemployed because of addiction or mental health issues — had zero options for health insurance in Virginia. Expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act opens Medicaid to those making as much as $16,643 a year or as much as $28,700 for a family of three. And, under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government covers 90 percent of the cost of new enrollees, an estimated $2 OUR VIEW billion in Virginia. The measure held up the state budget until last week because it was unclear whether enough Republicans would support it. For months, Vogel, of Upperville, has refused to say how she’d vote on Medicaid expansion. When the final vote was taken May 30, she surprised some her constituents by voting for the final budget measure. But she was hardly all in. As she explained on Facebook on the night of the vote, she voted against Medicaid expansion before she voted for it. Here’s how she put it: “For people who want to know my votes — I have voted for the Senate’s original budget that did not contain Medicaid expansion. I voted yesterday in Senate Finance Committee to support that budget with no expansion and through the votes on the floor to defend our clean budget. I worked hard on the Senate budget and was proud to defend that budget. However, I intend to vote FOR the final budget bills because I want us to pass a budget today and more importantly, because this budget has critical components that I want to support — including reforms that I have fought for and measures that are incredibly important to me and to my district. Health insurance coverage for autism spectrum disorder that I have fought for year after year and have been crushed when it failed, is in this budget. So is critical money for agriculture and conservation in my district as well as judicial funding, education money and money for sheriffs. Thank you to everyone who has worked closely with me on this process.” Vogel’s decision has met a mixed response on social media. Some, like Nancy Treusch, praised her vote: “Thank you for doing the right thing. Don’t worry about commenters saying you lost their support. You picked up 2 supporters for each you might have lost,” she wrote. Others, like Jay Garver, expressed their disappointment. “There’s not going to be any ‘might’ about it,” he wrote in response to Treusch. “[Vogel] lost her base with this move. You people want ‘free’ stuff. move back up to Maryland.” Although Vogel clearly declined to whole-heartedly support Medicaid expansion, her final vote is telling. Because three of her fellow Republican senators stuck their necks out to insist on affordable health care for their constituents (state Sens. Emmett Hanger, Frank Wagner and Ben Chafin), Vogel’s vote wasn’t needed for final passage. But she voted for it anyway. Vogel said she supported the budget because it includes other things important to her constituents, including more funding for agriculture and conservation programs and a step toward requiring insurance companies to cover autism treatments for children up to 18. The measure affects only employees with the state of Virginia, but it’s a start. All are practical reasons to vote for the new state budget, and we applaud Sen. Jill Vogel for doing so. And whether she admits it or not, we hope Vogel sees Medicaid expansion in the same light: as a practical way to provide health care to some of Virginia’s most vulnerable residents. It’s the right thing to do.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In January 1966, this small house was moved from Fifth Street in Warrenton to New Baltimore, where it was repurposed as a hunting lodge on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Davis. The twohour move was executed by a crew provided by R. L. Rider and Co. Seen on the roof watching for trees and power lines is Edward Grimsley. 75 Years Ago June 10, 1943 Lt. Cdr. Alan R. Montgomery of Warrenton wears the Navy’s Silver Star Award on his breast this week, given for conspicuous gallantry as commander of a torpedo boat squadron which helped whip the Japanese in the Solomons campaign. Their father was a Marine in the Spanish-American War, and four sons of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Fewell of Catlett are serving their country, too. Walter is a first-class shipfitter at Pearl Harbor. Bernard is in the Army medical corps somewhere overseas. Wilbur is in the quartermaster corps at Fort Dix, N.J.; and Cecil is in the air forces in England. Henri de Heller, Warrenton architect, left Thursday with the Disaster Relief Section of the American Red Cross for flood areas in the middle west. Appointed an adviser on rebuilding and rehabilitation, he and 11 other chosen men each will be assigned large areas in which to straighten out the chaos wrought by recent floods. 50 Years Ago June 13, 1968 One of 1,000 winners nationwide in the American Oil Super Pro contest, Frank Ash, of Warrenton, showed off the 1968 Ford Mustang he won to local American Oil agent John Smith and Tom Frost Ford salesman Johnny Crupper, who ordered the candy-apple red Mustang for
him. The Catlett Volunteer Fire Company grossed $11,000, slightly more than last year, at its carnival June 6-8. Ruth Brown was crowned the firemen’s 1968 queen by Dr. Evan Ashby Jr. Melba Heflin was runner-up. John S. Weaver, son of Mr. and Mrs. James O. Weaver Sr. of Remington, has been promoted to captain in the U.S. Air Force. 25 Years Ago June 9, 1993 Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown will speak at the First Baptist Church in Warrenton on June 20, 1993, as part of the church’s Men’s Day program. Brown, a Warrenton resident who was tapped by Pres. Bill Clinton to direct the federal government’s second-largest department, is a combat-disabled Vietnam veteran. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission has scheduled meetings on Capitol Hill next week, and discussion of Vint Hill Farm Station is expected on the agenda, according to Rep. Frank Wolf’s office. After five years as president of the Friends of Warrenton, David Norden has passed on his leadership role. The board has approached one individual about taking over as president and is waiting for an answer. — Compiled by John T. Toler

No excess capacity at the Blackthorne By Kevin Ramundo The Blackthorne stakeholders group hopes the next Easton Porter Group application for the Blackthorne Inn expansion will be responsive to repeatedly expressed community concerns about the excessive overall scale of the developer’s first and second applications to Fauquier COMMENTARY County. We understand that EPG has received specific guidance from Fauquier County staff that the overall scale proposed in its second application needs to be significantly reduced. We completely agree and appreciate the county’s efforts to protect our rural and agricultural lands from commercial development. In 2016, EPG bought what was a quaint restaurant and inn from a local owner and proposed an expansion of the Upperville property that would double to triple the size of the operation the county board of supervisors approved
in 2014. The commercial scale of EPG’s initial proposal in February 2017 and its second proposal in February 2018, are completely inappropriate for a location zoned rural/agricultural. Both proposals would dramatically alter the natural beauty of this scenic location; lead to increased traffic on U.S. 50 and other area roadways; and could pose risks to the water supply upon which homes and farms in the area are dependent. We believe EPG’s next proposal should not only be significantly reduced in its overall scale but that the size of the facilities the developer requests to build should be commensurate with the projected volume of guests upon which EPG is basing its application. The last two applications requested facility capacity over and above the projected guest volumes, and this invites a situation where the actual number of guests at the site could exceed what might be approved. This would create additional environmental risks, since water and wastewater treatment facility needs are based
on the projected guest volumes specified in the application. Simply stated, it is our very strong belief that the size of the facilities requested by EPG in its next application should not exceed the developer’s projected number of guests. This is especially important because neither the county nor the community has the ability to monitor the number of guests. We appreciate that EPG has indicated it will reduce the scale and density of their plans for this historic site in their next application. We would strongly encourage them to follow through on this commitment, and that its proposed facility plans would only accommodate projected guest volumes and no more. Ramundo is a member of the Blackthorne stakeholders group, which consists of neighbors of the Blackthorne and four major conservation/ preservation groups in the region: Citizens for Fauquier County, Goose Creek Association, Piedmont Environmental Council and Mosby Heritage Area Association.
Community journalism: A tale of two newspapers For as long as I can remember, they’ve been telling me newspapers were in trouble. But of my former employers, only the small daily where I started my career in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, no longer exists. The circulation was 6,000. I was the “full-time,” 30-hour-a-week sportswriter. That meant they could work you 38 and not pay benefits. If I didn’t live with my parents, I couldn’t have made a living. When it rained, water came pouring through the ceiling of the “sports annex” into an industrial-sized Rubbermaid next to my desk. I loved it. So much so that I changed my college major from broadcast to print. Why? Because community journalism matters. But this column isn’t about that newspaper. It’s about where I’m at now, almost 30 years later: The Fauquier Times. And it’s about a daily that still holds an important place in my heart: The Mercury, in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The Mercury was facing the same difficulties facing every newspaper faced when I arrived in 1998: shrinking ad revenue, shrinking circulation, what to do with the internet. But good journalism was still happening. And boy, did we have fun. In many ways, I think it was the last of the good old days. Three photographers, a half a dozen reporters, two copy editors, a five-person sports crew. Multiple editors. From 4 in the afternoon until midnight, it’s where the action was. These were people who cared about the community they served. Working all hours. After deadline, going for burgers and beers together. We loved what we did, who we did it with and the community we were doing it for. I look back on those days and curse the foolishness of youth that led me to chase dreams elsewhere.
CHRIS SIX A handful of those good journalists remain, as recent coverage of the YMCA’s attempt to leave Pottstown proves. But as a friend who continues to fight the good fight assured me, I would have been axed years ago. You see, the newspaper’s parent company, Digital First Media, is owned by Alden Global Capital, a hedge fund that has very different goals for its properties. You might have heard of Alden and Digital First. They have been in the news lately: • Niemanlab.org: “Newsonomics: Alden Global Capital is making so much money wrecking local journalism it might not want to stop anytime soon.” • Bloomberg: “Imagine If Gordon Gekko Bought News Empires. The reality is even worse: This raider sinks decimated newsrooms’ revenue into bad investments.” • Philadelphia Inquirer: “Philly’s Digital First papers face harsh cuts, potential ‘lights-out scenario’” • Denver Post editorial: “As vultures circle, The Denver Post must be saved” • MPR News’ NewsCut: “Newspaper employees wonder who will cover their plight” Digital First recently made news by purchasing the Boston Herald. • Boston Business Journal: “Digital First lays off Boston Herald managers, workers”
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Alden has done something besides strike a blow to community journalism: They’ve profited from it. For years, we have heard journalism is not profitable. It seems we have been proven wrong. Quoting the NiemanLab story: “Today we can reveal some key financial numbers from the very private company that shows just how successful Alden and DFM have been at milking profit out of the newspapers it is slashing to the bone. DFM reported a 17-percent operating margin — well above those of its peers — in its 2017 fiscal year, along with profits of almost $160 million. That’s the fruit of the repeated cutbacks that have left its own shrinking newsrooms in a state of rebellion.” News came Friday that The Mercury is being kicked out of its historic home. This isn’t a surprise; the building should probably be condemned. I understand parts of it have been left to rot to a point that it is uninhabitable. Workers have been told they can work remotely or at the centralized plant in Exton. Unfortunately, that’s 30 minutes away, not in Pottstown. The newspaper is being physically removed from its community. Now, good reporters will still be present, but think about it for a minute. Think about access this community enjoys to its local newspaper. Think about stopping by to subscribe, pick up a copy, drop off a letter to the editor, plan an ad or talk to a reporter or editor. Imagine that gone. The Fauquier Times offers something different than disinterested corporate entities or hedge funds: local ownership comprised of investors who want to be proud
of their newspaper. Who thought so much of that cause, they went and bought it. I saw a lot of promise in that. It’s what drew me here from a relatively stable job at Stars and Stripes. I saw possibilities for the future of community newspapers, and a model for how it could work that others could follow. I wanted to be a part of that. It hasn’t been easy. There have been challenges along the way. But exciting things are happening. We’ve redesigned. Added section fronts. Expanded coverage. Branched out into new mediums. We are learning and we are growing. The possibilities are endless. To me, community journalism is a sacred trust. We are uniquely positioned to tell the stories of this community in ways no other organization can. We believe in this community: its people, its businesses, its causes. That means sharing the good things that are happening, as well as serving as the community’s watchdog. I’ve shown you how easily that trust can be betrayed. You and I each have an investment in this cause. By buying a newspaper in print or online, or subscribing, you invest in our future. And through our work and dedication, we invest in our community. It’s a symbiotic relationship. All of us. Together. Chris Six is the Editor-in-Chief of the Times. Email him at csix@ fauquier.com. Follow him on Twitter @christophersix1

Letters to the Editor
Without another day’s delay I want to pen my personal admiration and gratitude for the fine care I received this week at our own local hospital! ‘Twas a three-day stay. After a traumatic accident of a fall at my daughter’s home, I was carefully moved by ambulance workers to the emergency section of our local hospital. From my initial encounter with the 911 responders to the pleasant, over-flowing staff at the ready inside the hospital, excellence prevailed. Good humor was a steady ingredient! Citizens of Fauquier County are fortunate in having an exemplary institution at the ready with kind, welcoming smiles! Elizabeth G. Coffin Warrenton

The solution to tariffs — and Trump — is at the ballot box The May 30 editorial, “Why it’s important to democracy to read this in print,” highlights just one instance of the international pandemonium the Trump administration is slamming on the United States and our secure trade allies. The website suggested in the editorial, www.stopnewsprinttariffs. org, is quite informative and addresses just one industry negatively impacted by Trump’s unilateral, uninformed behavior. I find it frightening that this particular tariff attacks free speech and print
mass media, the very pillars of our democracy that Trump denounces. But the tariff scenario is being repeated throughout other domestic industries, as well. Even locally there is a huge negative impact on farmers and the farming industry. Just ask our soybean farmers. Lost revenue. Lost jobs. Looming bankruptcy. Isolationism and demagogic control of the international markets is hardly what will make America great again. In fact, those policies will destroy us. The United States is experiencing harsh global disrespect
OBITUARIES Vincent Salem Nicolai Vincent Salem Nicolai was called from his earthly home to his heavenly one on May 18, 2018. He was just seven, but had already touched the lives of many and left behind sweet memories that will be forever treasured. His smile was captivating, his laugh infectious, and his wonder and curiosity about the world neverending. Vincent’s sheer abandon for life inspired all who knew him. You could venture all over New York City with Vincent and it wasn’t a rare occasion for people from all walks of life to greet him by name and ask him how he was. Even at his tender age, Vincent was an accomplished artist with painting exhibits shown in multiple galleries. Vincent’s musical talents came naturally; he could play the piano by ear, was learning to play the drums, working on his guitar skills and like his namesake, Grandpa Vince, could already hold his own on the harmonica. Vincent loved everything about trains – riding them, listening to them, watching them, memorizing their schedules, their stops, and their speeds. His attention to detail and memory were extraordinary God-given gifts and he often shared treasures and signs he found in nature with the people he loved – a bald eagle noticed soaring through the sky was always “a visit from Grandpa Vince”. Although his intellectual gifts gave him wisdom and insight beyond his years, he had a childlike joy that shone like a sunbeam through the clouds. For Vincent, every day was “the best day ever.” We could all take a lesson from Vince and strive to treat every day like “the best day ever.” Not all of Vincent’s family members left here on earth, or who have gone before, are known to us and they are recognized and honored. Vincent was dearly loved and will be forever missed by many, including: his father Charles Nicolai; his paternal grandmother Sandra Nystrom; his maternal grandmother Jessie Carter; his aunt Doreen Adams; his aunt Yvette Adams; his uncle Tyrone Adams; his uncle Heath Marsh; his uncle Michael and aunt Cheri (McAtee) Nicolai; his uncle James Nicolai; his aunt Caryn Woodstead; his uncle Thomas and aunt Nyrie (Breidenbach) Nicolai; his uncle Christopher and Laura (Dahlby) Nicolai; his uncle Gabe and aunt Maria (Nicolai) Gietzen; his uncle Steven and aunt Nicole (Nicolai) Scherweit; and a plethora of cousins. Vincent was accompanied in death by his mother, Stephanie Adams Nicolai. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Vincent Nicolai; his maternal grandfather Salem Adams; and his aunt Teresa Nicolai. To honor his son’s life, Vincent’s father, Charles, will be establishing a fund for the purpose of saving lives through awareness, early detection and prevention of mental illness. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Vincent Nicolai Memorial GoFundMe site are welcome. https://www.gofundme.com/vincentnicolai-memorial-fund. On-line condolences may be sent at www.EvansFuneralHomeND.com
from countries once our staunch strategic allies in defense and trade. Our military-industrial complex and intelligence communities continue to voice severe warnings about Trump’s frivolous behavior as U.S. manufacturers don’t and can’t produce materials, parts and high-tech components currently manufactured overseas. We are being seriously compromised. Other countries are now proceeding with their own trade agreements without the United States. There are severe consequences for us down the road. As consumers, we will suffer near-term effects with higher prices, higher unemployment, shortages of ordinary goods and higher interest rates. Long range, we will lose technological and defense advantages, shipping and transportation infrastructure, intellectual property, sales and all interconnecting businesses
and jobs and tax revenue. In addition to the bleak economic picture imposed by indiscriminate tariffs, the current Republican-controlled Congress, in partnership with Trump, increased the national debt over $3 trillion in the latest budget and growing the national deficit as the tax reform bill plays out. Republicans in Congress are abandoning the ruins in record numbers. November 6, 2018, is Election Day. This is every voter’s opportunity to use voting power to stop the lunacy. Make sure you are registered to vote. Get your valid picture ID. Vote early or vote absentee. Just make sure you vote to replace the deserters with Democrats. Trump needs a barrier, now.
I am a local student at Fresta Valley Christian School and a resident of Warrenton. I am sending this letter to you to inform you and explain an issue that, I believe, affects this entire town, and could be effectively publicized by your paper. I am grateful for your time and open ear as I explain to you a problem that must be rectified. It is a busy shopping center. The highway is always moving. The intersection is unpredictable. Upon the connection of Bear Wallow Road and Broadview Ave., an ominous four-way
intersection is left vulnerable to needless and avoidable accidents and traffic issues. When leaving the Warrenton Town Center heading towards U.S. 17 or even down Bear Wallow Road, a driver is exposed to an assortment of dangers as he simply heads from point A to point B. Cars slowly decelerate off the bypass, or accelerate as they head to the highway. Consumers leave the parking lot, and workers head home towards Marshall down Bear Wallow Road. All this is to say, this intersection is a busy hotspot for individuals heading in every direction. However, unfortunately, there is no light or even direction for people to follow as they head across the four lanes of road. Cars turning are trapped in their turn lane, which inevitably traps those wishing to cross the highway on their respective sides of the road. Limited view to the extended road causes a blind spot for those wishing to courageously cross this busy intersection. As a student of Fresta Valley Christian School, who regularly crosses this trap on the way to school, I wish to clearly address this problem and present a solution. I suggest that the Town of Warrenton redeems this hazardous situation and builds a roundabout to extinguish this accident-catalyst. A roundabout will allow traffic to keep moving without a high risk of damage. Cars will be able to yield for one another in an orderly fashion, and head in any direction they choose without fear of collision. This action will create a safer environment for this town, and naturally support the businesses that are affected by this intersection. My own commute to school will be made safer, as well as those who attend Highland School. This is an action that will benefit us all, and help to preserve the innocence and security of this little town we all call home. Thank you for your time, and I pray that you will use this letter wisely and for the benefit of this town. Thank you for all that you do for Warrenton and the county and keep up the essential work. I give this issue to you in hopes that together we can make a difference.

SOLEMN UNDERTAKING In order that the dead reach the land of eternity, the ancient Greeks believed that the deceased must make a journey across the river Styx. A coin was placed in the mouth of the deceased to pay for the passage, and a honey cake was placed next to the body to appease the dog Cerberus, who guarded the entrance to Hades. As for the ancient Romans, they would wash the deceased’s body with hot water and oil daily for seven days. A group of slaves, called pollinctores, performed this function. Funeral processions were held at night to avoid defilement of the living. The procession was managed by a Designator, who functioned in much the same capacity of modern funeral directors. No matter how prepared we are, a loved one’s death often leaves us feeling numb and bewildered. If you’re responsible for making the funeral arrangements or executing the will, shock and grief can be immobilizing. Even simple decisions can be overwhelming. We can help.

McCusker’s pitching, 6-run inning propel Falcons to region title By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier Falcons’ magical postseason run continued Friday. Facing two outs in the top of the seventh inning with a tie score, the resilient Falcons scored six runs to upset Woodgrove, 9-3, and win the Class 4 Region C baseball title in Purcellville. Fauquier (18-6) advanced to host Amherst County in Tuesday’s state quarterfinals. The semifinals are Friday in Salem vs. the Woodgrove-Salem winner. Nate Winebarger and Cole Western began the seventh inning with a pair of walks. Then Winebarger broke the 3-3 tie by scoring on an error on Carson McCusker’s grounder. Lane Pearson added an RBI single before Clay Shafer and Clay Goff produced bases-loaded walks for a 7-3 lead. Winebarger came to the plate for the second time in the inning and finished the scoring with a two-RBI single. He went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two runs out of the No. 9 spot. Shafer added two runs and an

Fauquier took a 3-0 lead in the second before Woodgrove tied the score with one run in the bottom of the third and two in the fifth, setting up an exciting seventh inning.

This season, however, she ran the anchor leg with Gastley beginning the race. “She did a really good job of getting out and getting us in a good position, and setting the tone for everyone,” Holland said of Gastley. “She put us ahead of the only other team we were really worried about (Grafton).”
Falcon girls 3,200 relay strikes gold at states By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The Fauquier Falcons couldn’t outrun the rain this weekend, but their 3,200-meter girls relay team weathered the poor conditions well enough to win a state championship. Kelsey Gastley, Kyra Holland, Elise Fernandez and Hannah Holland combined to win that race in 9 minutes, 39.23 seconds at Harrisonburg High during a Class 4 outdoor track and field state meet that spanned Friday, Saturday and Sunday due to rain postponements and will not finish until Wednesday, when the pole vault event will be held at Lynchburg College. Their 3,200 relay was scheduled for Friday but then postponed until Saturday. So the Falcons returned to Harrisonburg High, but they still could not run due to the weather. After another postponement, they finally ran the 3,200 Sunday around 8:30 a.m.
Fauquier also played in the Group AA state semifinals in 2004. Riverside, which Fauquier also upset in the region semifinals, 8-6, was ranked No. 1 in the NOVA Baseball Magazine poll when last weeks’ games were played, while Woodgrove was No. 9 and Fauquier was No. 14.FHS is up to No. 10.

On a rainy track in Harrisonburg, Kelsey Gastley, Kyra Holland, Elise Fernandez and Hannah Holland were crowned Class 4 champs in the 3,200-meter relay. “The whole meet was a mess,” Hannah Holland said. “Everyone was confused and out of it [mentally]. It was a really rough meet.” With the 10 points scored by Holland’s 3,200 relay team, Fauquier has 35 points and seven medals thus far, putting the Falcons on pace for their fewest points and medals since finishing the 2014 Class 4 state meet with 33 and six. They amassed 11 medals last spring, nine in 2016 and 16 in 2015. So Fauquier stands 12th in the 2018 girls standings with 18 points and 12th in the boys standings with 17, while Kettle Run’s girls stand 19th (12
points) and its boys stand 30th (four points) with Liberty’s boys 25th (six). In the 3,200, Fernandez, Gastley and the Holland sisters beat runner-up Grafton by 2.17 seconds, giving Fauquier its eighth championship during the five-year history of the Class 4/4A outdoor state meet. “Everyone was happy about it,” said Hannah Holland, who also won a 2017 indoor state title in the 3,200 with Kyra Holland, Gastley and Madeleine Hayes. “It wasn’t something we expected, but we definitely knew it was a possibility we could do it” Sunday.

‘A GREAT SEASON FOR THE GIRLS’
Kettle Run girls soccer ousted in region semis, finishes 15-2 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
A frustrated Loudoun County player shouted the obvious when Sarah Mitchell threatened to score again after making two consecutive goals for Kettle Run during a 13-minute span May 29. “It’s going to the same player every time,” she said of Mitchell, who led the Cougars this year with 22 goals. Unfortunately for Kettle Run, Loudoun’s best offensive weapon was more difficult to identity. All three of the Raiders’ starting forwards scored, with assists from five different players, to give Loudoun a convincing 5-2 road victory in the Class 4 Region C girls soccer tournament semifinals. The Cougars finished 15-2, and saw their 13-game winning streak end. The Raiders (16-6-1) later fell to Woodgrove in the region final, but still advanced to meet Jefferson Forest in the Class 4 state quarterfinals. “It’s different playing Loudoun County because we’ve never played any teams this good,” said junior Peyton Fiel, whose Cougars won the Class 4 Northwestern District regular season and tournament titles while the Raiders won the Dulles District tournament championship.

Payton Fiel, Carly Brummett and Gracie Crater enjoyed plenty of highs in 2018. “Their passes [are better], and their defense is a lot sturdier. … They’re just way more aggressive than the other teams we’ve played.” The Raiders, in fact, won the 2016 and 2015 Class 4A state championships with a previous state berth in 2014. Junior Taylor Kibble scored twice against Kettle Run to boost her team-record of single-season goals to 44. With the ball at her feet, Kibble often changed direction like a squirrel to beat Kettle Run defenders. She gave the Raiders a 1-0 lead less than
five minutes into the match, assisted a goal with less than six minutes remaining in the first half and scored again during the final 75 seconds for a 3-0 halftime lead. “It’s frustrating because when we came into this game we were ready
to play,” Fiel said.” Regardless, the Cougars gave Loudoun a scare in the second half with Fiel assisting a Mitchell goal on a through ball less than three minutes after halftime. Mitchell then scored again off a Lyndsey Fisher pass, closing Kettle Run’s deficit to 3-2 with 24 minutes, 43 seconds remaining. “The girls showed lot of pride there and played hard,” Kettle Run Coach Matt Zuras said. As the minutes ticked down, “I think we knew we weren’t getting two more” goals, Fiel said. “So it was a lot harder to fight. … It was definitely heartbreaking.” The Cougars finished with their best winning percentage in program history at 88 percent and earned a region bid for the second consecutive season following a two-year drought. In 2014 Kettle Run finished as Class 3A runner-up when they made their first state appearance. “Outstanding,” Zuras said of 2018. “It’s a great season for the girls. We just came up short tonight.”

Somebody forgot to tell the Fauquier Falcons they were supposed to lose to Riverside, the No. 1 team in NOVA Baseball Magazine rankings. But the visiting Falcons never trailed en route to an 8-6 victory in the Class 4 Region C baseball tournament semifinals in Leesburg, pulling off a May 29 upset that sent them to states for the second time in four years. “There were 20 guys that didn’t think they were the underdog,” Fauquier coach Matt O’Saben said. “And knew they were going to come up here and win. … These guys didn’t think they were underdogs for one second.” The region game against Riverside (19-3) was tied for only one pitch, a strike from Rams ace starter David Setien to Falcon second baseman Cole Western, who hit a solo home run on the second pitch to give Fauquier an enormous spark. “Coach told us we had to get up early and I had to figure out a way to get on base and score a run,” said Western, who finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs. “It was right in my sweet spot.” Troy Smith (1-for-2, two walks) followed with a walk and Blaze O’Saben (3-for-4, two runs) crushed an RBI double to get the Falcons merry-go-round started. Carson McCusker (1-for-4, RBI, run) then drove in Smith on a ground out and Fauquier’s starting pitcher Lane Pearson (2-for-4) drove in
Region C champion Fauquier ended Riverside’s 10-game winning streak and earned a state berth for the first time since 2015. O’Saben with an RBI-single to give the Falcons a 3-0 lead. In the second inning, senior catcher Clay Shafer led off with a single and advanced on a perfect sacrifice bunt from Clay Goff. Nate Winebarger then knocked a single to set the table for more heroics from Western. In a complete 180 from his first atbat, Western showed his short-game aptitude by spinning a perfect RBI bunt down the first base line to score Shafer. “Coach called a steal so I knew the second baseman would be covering second,” Western said. “So I bunted it to try and get the run. Speed is one of my strengths, so I just hauled it down” the base path. O’Saben followed up with an RBI single to plate Western as the Falcons chased Setien in just 1 1/3 innings. Pearson, meanwhile, stifled the Rams’ offense for three innings. Riverside got its explosive offense on track in the fourth with two runs, but Fauquier responded quickly and decisively in the fifth with consecutive RBI singles from Haiden Smith, Shafer and Goff to increase the lead to 8-2.

Cougars’ historic year ended by Dominion, 16-5 By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
The first girls lacrosse team in Kettle Run history to play in a state tournament was still laughing, dancing and working hard to the final whistle in their 16-5 quarterfinal loss to the Dominion Titans on May 29. Kettle Run (10-6) hung tough early, but struggled to contain a Dominion team that moved on to meet Riverside in the Class 4 semifinals. “Our mentality was to go in strong to keep our energy up and to not let down without a fight. It awesome to be a part of this. We are all really close and we all got to celebrate no matter what,” said junior Grace Small. “We made it (to states) this year and it’s been very emotional. These girls have been amazing and I couldn’t ask to do it with a better group,” said Kettle Run coach Joanie DeGoosh. Husband and co-coach Ron DeGoosh called the game a remarkable high water mark for a squad of mostly upperclassman. “This team has held it together so well all season long. We brought them together in the second half and told them
that they weren’t out of it. They were all in on that. They were ready to keep at it,” he said. Small’s two early goals kept Kettle Run close. Small’s first tied it at 1-1 early and was the 100th of Small’s three-year career. “It was exhilarating to score my 100th. The whole team got to come up and congratulate me afterwards,” she said. Small’s second goal cut Dominion’s lead to 3-2 before the loaded Titans scored seven straight to end the half with a 10-2 lead. “We were trying to shut them down on the initial draw from being able to just burst into goal,” Ron DeGoosh said. “If we were able to stop that initial push we knew we could hang with them. We knew from watching film that they were going to try and pull us out. We did a good job to stay in tight for a while but they are a strong team.” Kettle Run settled down and got back-to-back goals by Julia Robertson and Mary O’Toole to open the second half. Robertson struck again to close the gap to 12-5, which was as close as the Cougars could get.
PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER Katie MacMahon and the Cougars saw the best girls lacrosse season in Kettle Run history end in the state quarterfinals. Dominion finished the game with four straight goals to end Kettle Run’s historic run. “We told ourselves com-
ing in that there was no reason why we can’t hang with them,” O’Toole said. “We played teams like them at the beginning of the season.
It was reassuring going into it knowing we are a different team and getting some goals early. I thought it was going to be a close game like that the whole game. Then they got some consecutive goals.” Dominion’s Mya Brock scored six goals and Emily Wesoky helped with four while Kate Petersen recorded seven stops on the Cougars. Nevertheless, Kettle Run was still upbeat and proud. “There are nine seniors and four of them have been with this varsity team since freshman. They are like family. They are my girls,” said an emotional Joanie DeGoosh. “There are no words to explain the feeling,” O’Toole said. “Coming in as a freshman you always think you have that team that can go to states, but actually doing it is different. Doing it with this specific group of girls is beyond words.” “They played together or on this team for probably six or eight years,” said Ron DeGoosh. “The rest of them have been a member of this squad for the last three years. If they ever got down on each other it lasted about 30 seconds and they moved on.”

Dulles District 2, Fauquier teams 0
Cougars, Falcons bounced in boys lacrosse quarters By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Dominion did it again. The Kettle Run Cougars’ boys lacrosse season ended Saturday with a playoff loss to the Titans, dropping their postseason record to 0-3 alltime against Dominion. They lost, 22-8, in the 2018 Class 4 state quarterfinals at home in Nokesville after previously falling to the Titans in the 2016 region quarterfinals, 17-2, and 2012 region quarterfinals, 14-9. So Kettle Run finished this spring with a 13-3 record after making its first state appearance in history. Meanwhile, Fauquier lost to Region C champion Riverside, 14-8, in its state quarter, making county teams 0-2 vs. traditionally tough squads from Loudoun County’s Dulles District. “I didn’t think our guys came ready to play, but I’m not taking any credit away from Dominion,” Cougars coach Blake Smith said. “They played very well. … They put a lot of pressure on us. “They’re used to playing in those big games,” he said of the 2016 Class 4 state champion Titans. “It just seems like we forgot all the principles we talked about during the year.” The game began Friday night, but

After the 9:30 p.m. postponement, the game resumed at 10 a.m., a time that conflicted with an SAT exam session that cost Kettle Run three players. So Dominion outscored the Cougars 13-4 on Saturday. But Kettle Run didn’t fare well Friday either. The Titans took an early 3-0 lead with three consecutive goals by Alex Brendes and built their lead to 6-1 before finishing the first quarter with a 7-3 advantage.

Kettle Run’s Ethan Jakum won 8 of 11 faceoffs in the first period, but Dominion had every other statistical advantage. The Titans outshot Kettle Run 17-12 Friday with 17 groundballs to the Cougars’ six. Kettle Run also had nine early turnovers while Dominion had only six. In fact, the Cougars committed a turnover on each of their first three possessions in the game, resulting in three consecutive goals for the Titans. Regardless, Kettle Run finished the season with its best record since going 16-1 in 2012. The Cougars also won a region championship for the first time in the team’s 10-year history by dominating Fauquier, 179, in the Class 4 Region B final. “That was a big milestone for us,” Smith said. “Looking at the whole picture, I thought we did some things well.” Kettle Run actually earned its first region victory in program history by defeating Liberty in the quarterfinals, 20-1, after entering this season with an 0-5 record in region play. The Cougars will lose six players to graduation, but only a pair of starters in attackman Matt Begley and goalie Nolan Hall. “Ninety percent of our team is coming back, so I’m happy in that respect,” Smith said.

Camryn Dolby can’t doom the Falcons anymore. For the third straight year, the Woodgrove ace ended Fauquier’s season, as Dolby’s two-time defending Class 4 champion Wolverines defeated the Falcons, 9-0, on May 29 in the semifinals of the Class 4 Region C tournament in Purcellville. The Boston College-bound senior struck out 19 while allowing only three hits and one walk over seven innings. The Wolverines (21-3) scored twice in the first, second and fourth innings and advanced to play Blacksburg in the Class 4 quarterfinals. Fauquier finished 15-5-1 and allowed more than five runs in a game for the first time this spring. Producing the Falcons’ only hits were Marissa Croson (1-for-2), Ashley Renzi (1-for-3) and Lauren Davis (1-for-3, one steal). Fauquier pitcher Sarah Lamper took the loss after allowing six earned runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings. Woodgrove is 6-0 against the Falcons in the postseason since 2014, winning two state finals, and ending the Falcons’ year four times. Dolby beat the Falcons in the 2016 state final, firing a no-hitter and hitting a grand slam home run in a 19-0 win. The Falcons also lost the 2014 state final to Woodgrove 24-1, after losing to Woodgrove 7-3 in the region final. Woodgrove beat Fauquier in region play last season, 5-0, and in 2016, 8-0.
The insurance runs proved to be necessary when Riverside rallied in the fifth, chasing Pearson from the game. Enter McCusker. The left-hander came on in the fifth with the bases loaded and no outs and only an 8-5 lead. McCusker’s calculated approach to the Rams’ lineup put a swift end to the Riverside rally. He allowed only one of his inherited runners to cross the plate, leaving the Falcons with an 8-6 lead. “I know I have a great defense behind me,” McCusker said. “I knew I just had to fill it up and throw strikes. They are a really good hitting team. I was in a tough situation, but I just
had to trust my defense.” Clinging to the 8-6 lead, every one of McCusker’s subsequent pitches seemed to be made under peak pressure as the junior navigated his way through the Riverside lineup for three innings, allowing two hits, three walks and striking out four. Riverside coach Sam McCusker “kept us off balance,” Plank said. “He is crafty.” Riverside threatened until the final pitch, loading the bases in the bottom of the seventh before McCusker forced Nike Jones into a game-ending ground out to enact a joyous eruption from the Fauquier dugout.

MOC takes top prize at Virginia Region show jumping rally By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Local teams, and a rider from The Plains, dominated the competition from start to finish to win the top five team awards at the weekend’s Virginia Region Pony Clubs show jumping rally. The two-day competition was held at Frying Pan Park in Herndon. The best-scoring riders advance to the U.S. Pony Club championships later this summer. Madeleine Wallach, 21, a horsemanship-B member of the local Middleburg-Orange County Pony Club, partnered her Belle Grey’s Galliano to an 85 in the judged jumper equitation round. She captained the winning squad, and was joined by teammates Ella Hatcher, Annika Quanbeck, Kylee Keahon and stable manager Yssabelle Marrero.
They finished the four-round competition nearly perfect, with just 3.59 penalty points between them after jumping rounds, horse management and formal inspection scores were tallied. Second, with 11.18 penalties, was the Loudoun Hunt Pony Club team of Jacqueline Bramhall, captain Anna Ferrin, Kathryn Meek and Morgan Krens, with stable manager Ashley Levine. Another LHPC team was third with a score of 11.86. Two Old Dominion Hounds Pony Club teams were fourth and fifth. The top riders qualify for the USPC championships July 25-29 in Tryon, North Carolina. The Virginia Region is expected to field at least two show jumping teams at the national competition.

New exhibit connects kids to nature with Legos By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
A giant corn spider hangs from a sugar maple tree in the lawn. A 7-foot dragonfly hovers in the water garden where golden trout swim in a pond below. Nearby, an oversized monarch butterfly perches amongst pollinator plants near a spring-fed stream. Most depict creatures that inhabit Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. But in this case, they’re not real. They’re Legos. Renowned artist Sean Kenney of Brooklyn, New York, has created an intriguing sculpture exhibition in the 7-acre garden at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester. Kenney has designed and created a contemporary sculpture exhibit called, “Nature Connects: Art with Lego Bricks.” It’s on view until Sept. 3. The images include 13 colorful, larger-than-life displays made out of Lego bricks, including a 6-foot-tall hummingbird, a peacock built with 400,000 pieces and a giant Galapagos tortoise with a finch riding on its back. The largest display is a family of deer, which includes a buck, doe, and fawn. Made with 84,442 pieces, the deer are displayed in the Rose Garden. MSV Director of Exhibitions Cory Garman said the Lego creations, the first the museum has displayed outdoors, has transformed the museum’s formal gardens into a fun, outdoor gallery. The exhibit aims to encourage visitors to explore the landscape as they search for the large Lego brick sculptures, noted Perry Mathewes, director of gardens. Each sculpture display includes an interpretive panel that describes the habitats of the featured plants and animals and connects them to the gardens. For example, a sign accompanying the larger-than-life hummingbird drinking from a trumpet flower

Fauquier County Girl Scouts celebrate accomplishments Despite the weather on Monday, May 14, Fauquier County Girl Scouts gathered to recognize 30 girls for outstanding achievements and 14 adults for supporting Girl Scouts for many years and in many ways. Bronze Award certificates were given to 19 girls from three troops. • Troop 613: Kiersten Clark, Angel Coley, Vittoria Fairley, Lydia Hickerson, Alexis Horton, Kuryn Horton, Marietta Hyson, Abbie Jett and Courtney Quinn. • Troop 726: Addison Laslow, Macy Saunders and Kiley Whitney; • Troop 3743: Aliya Atkins, Savanna Balamuta, Kaithlyn Ferguson, Christina Grzech, Jaiden Pack, Mikayla Pompell and Lauren Thompson. Girls in fourth and fifth grade can earn the Bronze Award, the only award that can only be earned as a group, not individually. It is a seven-step program. They must earn a “Journey,” learn to work as a team, explore their community, choose an age- and ability-appropriate project, plan and implement their project and then advertise it. Silver Award certificates were given to two girls from Troop 613: Sophia Long and Carli Sechrist. Girls in grades six, seven and eight can earn the Silver Award. There are eight steps to qualify for the award: they must earn a “Journey,” select a cause that is important to them, either individually or as a group, explore their community, select and develop a project, plan, implement, reflect and share their project’s success. Gold Award certificates were given to four girls from two troops: • Troop 795: Taylor Elizabeth DeHaven, Madison Rose Filson and Kiki Scott. • Troop 3496: Baille Whittington. Girls in ninth through 12th grades can earn the Gold Award, Girl Scouting’s highest award. The girl must identify an issue, investigate to learn thoroughly the issue chosen, build a team to help her take action, create a plan to attack the issue, have the plan reviewed and evaluated by the Girl Scout Gold Award Panel, who may ask for changes, additions and/or alterations to achieve project approval, and finally implement the project. Rarely are first submissions approved. Being a Gold Award Girl Scout adds creditability to a girl’s character and is a plus for scholarship applications.

They meet countywide, and at a variety of times. There are 422 girls and 119 adults registered for 2017-18.

Hill student shares her sparkle with seniors By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
Patty Arwine, a precocious fifth-grader at Middleburg’s Hill School, was in the car one morning last fall heading toward campus when she turned to her mom and said she’d just come up with a “sparkling” idea. She’d been thinking, as only 11-year-olds can think, about her late grandfather, Joe Arwine, and how she might be able to make a difference in the lives of other senior citizens. Joe had lived in the family’s home until he’d passed away five years earlier when Patty was only 6. He was deaf, but she and Joe had their own way of communicating with each other and had forged a special bond she still vividly recalls. “He was adopted from Alaska and hadn’t seen his own father and mother since he was very young,” Patty said. “We were his only relatives. He had a nice room in our house and a lot of photos all around, but it was still kind of gloomy. It’s something that stayed with me. “So I woke up that morning with this idea. I thought senior citizens could use more conservations with kids, and for us to let them know they’re not forgotten and still are a large part of our community. Maybe find someone who doesn’t have a lot of people around them. My idea was to let younger students have conversations with them through letters and drawings and give them some sparkle.” Patty’s eyes sparkled constantly as she spoke about the implementation of that idea. At Hill, it became a reality with a now schoolwide project called “Letters For Hope.” Students in every class, from junior kindergarten to the eighth grade, have been writing letters and cards or drawing pictures that are then sent to three senior citizens. They include a former longtime Hill teacher, the father of another teacher, and the grandfather of a fifth-grader. The project soon will begin sending similar letters of hope to residents in nearby assisted living facilities, nursing homes and hospitals. There’s a box in the front lobby of Hill’s main building where many of those letters, including some from faculty and staff members, are submitted, then eventually sent to the elderly recipients in a separate decorated box. Some students put pictures of themselves with
Hill School students Lilah Weisberg, Patty Arwine, Ally Blunt, Flora Warr, Ella Johnson, Audrey Quinn, Maya Caballero, Maddie Bryson, Maddie Johns, Hill School Director of Enrollment Kelly Johnson and Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. their letters, others write inspirational messages, and hearts are frequently drawn on the notes or envelopes. Patty gave a rousing speech about her idea before a student assembly a few months ago—and yes, she used the “sparkle” word that day, as well. The project also was mentioned on Hill’s Facebook page, and apparently was noticed by someone on the staff of Northern Virginia Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. Comstock’s office recently sent special certificates of appreciation to Patty and the student members of her committee who meet every week and write five generic letters each to help her implement her idea. And on Tuesday, April 24, those students were scheduled to tour the Capitol Building at Comstock’s invitation. Kelly Johnson, Hill’s director of enrollment, immediately signed on as the group’s faculty advisor after Patty came to her with that initial idea.
“She told me she wanted to bring hope and sparkle to people’s lives,” Johnson recalled. “How do you not love that? I said of course I’d be happy to do it, but she doesn’t really need much help. I told her mom this girl is going to change the world. She inspires people to be better. And at that age, it’s just so remarkable.” Carmen Arwine, Patty’s mother and a former second-grade teacher, said, “It’s been really cool to watch it evolve. That’s what’s so great about Hill. They allowed her to act on her idea. They gave her the freedom to make it happen, and that’s such a gift. It’s something so simple but it can make such a difference. You don’t need money, you don’t need a computer.” Apparently, all you really need is just one little girl’s sparkling idea. “It’s about making other people happy,” Patty said. “And that makes me happy.” Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com.

It’s all about the Belties Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
At first glance; the black-andwhite cows grazing in a Fauquier County pasture look as if they either jumped over the moon and missed or swallowed the moon altogether. These endearing Scottish Belted Galloways live at Cheree Nichole’s Holly Hill Farm. We first visited in the winter, and the “Belties” were very fluffy. They’re known for their double-hair coat, a rich dark brown underneath with a second coat of longer black hair. The first layer repels cold, the longer black hair can grow to five or six inches in the chill. Nichole gets up close and personal when she offers feed to her herd from the back of her pickup truck. She purchased the 50-acre farm near Middleburg in October 2012 because, she said, “I wanted to live in a village where everyone lived and breathed horses.” While driving north from South Carolina to visit Holly Hill, she saw the cows and says she “was hooked.” Horses have always been her life, and she brought with her four imports from four different breeds: an Irish sport horse she hunts and three others she has ridden successfully in dressage competitions: a Swedish warmblood, Dutch warmblood and an Oldenburg from Germany. But, for now, it’s all about cows. “When I first drove into Holly
The Belted Galloways of Holly Hill. Cheree Nichole gives her herd some grain from the back of her truck. Hill, alongside the drive, there was a deep pool of water where the Belted Galloways would stand to keep themselves cool,” she wrote in a recent email. “It was my first exposure to the serenity and restorative quality that is Holly Hill.” “The same two Belted Galloways still live here. They are not really ‘good for anything’ as the world might proclaim. But to me they represent the beauty of the land, the precious responsibility of stewardship that God has given me for this time,” she said. On a recent spring day, a Black Angus called “One Hundred” had gone rogue and jumped out over a 5-foot fence into the next field. Nichole climbed over and high stepped through the tall grass to get him back with the others. When she bought the farm, he was already there, and she kept him. She described her bovine education as a “learning curve.”
“The Belted are sweet and non-jumping,” she said, climbing back into her ATV. “I’ve always loved them. They are super, super sweet. I can literally pet them. My goal is to provide for them an environment that’s true to their nature, to who and how God created them to be.” Since buying the farm, Nichole has made many improvements, including erecting three crosses on a hill out back. She rebuilt a barn, added fences and stone walls and melted it all into contiguous pastures. She moved a stream and added cattle waterers, a well and septic. She credits the Piedmont Environmental Council for its input in refurbishing the grazing, as well as cattleman and Virginia Del. Michael Webert, R-18th, for his expertise on hay and grass. “My cattle roam freely. They’ll never be slaughtered for meat that we, as humans, have no need to con-
sume,” she wrote. “My horses are not penned in 10-by-10 boxes all day for my convenience, at hand for a ride whenever I choose, kept clean and impressive to guests. “My horses are free to move in and out of enclosures as they feel necessary. They get dirty. Their tails are not always coifed. That’s okay. I give them baths, brush out their tails, etc, when needed.” As for her cows: she now has eight with a possible ninth when another baby Beltie arrives. “They grace the back fields of Holly Hill. They lay there under the crosses, often times at sunset, and remind me of what a gift we have in life; what a gift it is to live on this planet and what a responsibility we have to care for our animals, to care for each other, to honor our God.” “Life is a gift,” Cheree Nichole says. To which we add The little dog laughed To see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon. – unknown, 1765
Belties come in many variations of white and black.
Most Belted Galloways are easily identified by the white midriff.

Retiring after 38 years of fun
The Fun Shop says goodbye to Terry Bell, a fixture of the Middleburg department store By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
Not long ago, Terry Bell started compiling a list of employees she had once worked with at The Fun Shop in Middleburg, the town’s popular “department store,” only slightly smaller. The number totaled more than 200, Bell said, including one young woman who started her first day one morning, went out to lunch at noon and never to came back. One night a few years back, while Bell was watching the 6 p.m. local news, she spotted another former colleague. It seemed the woman and her boyfriend had gone to Washington, robbed some people and tied them up. Bell saw them on TV being led off to jail in handcuffs. Needless to say, that former Fun Shop worker never returned to her Middleburg job, either. Not so for Terry Bell. She always came back, working nearly every day she was scheduled since beginning her career at The Fun Shop 38 years ago. On June 14, she will officially retire to pursue a different kind of fun: spending more time with her two grandsons in Haymarket. The store will have an open house that day, with a cake and other re-
freshments, so friends and customers past and present can come by to “thank and reminisce with Terry about all the years she has served you, watched your children grow and become parents themselves,” according to a Fun Shop flyer. Then again, Bell, with a smile, told co-owner Page Allen not to be surprised if, a few months from now, “I don’t come knocking on the door and ask for my job back.” Page Allen said her late mother, Nancy Allen, who founded The Fun Shop in 1958, always used to call the diminutive Bell “my little munchkin” because she’s so tiny. “Terry is just an absolute gem,” Page Allen said. “We’re going to give her a plaque [on June 14], and it will say ‘a ready smile, a happy laugh, a cheerful demeanor and a generous soul.’ That pretty much says it all about Terry.” Nancy Allen first recruited Bell and convinced her to come to work. “My son was just starting kindergarten,” Bell said. “Now he’s 44. And I’ve been here ever since.” In the beginning, she started out working with fabrics and needlepoint items, a role that eventually expand-

She and Mrs. Allen also traveled occasionally to trade shows, usually returning in an old station wagon busting at the seams with new merchandise. Eventually, she specialized in children’s wear and the toy department. The latter is where she’s spent most of her time in recent years. Bell and co-owner Betsy Davis do most of the children’s clothes-buying. Bell handles virtually all the toy-buying herself, and instead of traveling to trade shows, the manufacturer reps come to Middleburg to sell their merchandise.
In recent months, she’s cut back to working two or three days a week. She said she knows she’ll miss The Fun Shop, which happens to be up for sale because Page and Betsy would also like to retire. “I’ve always liked meeting people, and this is also my Fun Shop family,” she said, “Sometimes dealing with the public is not always easy. But I wouldn’t have stayed this long if I didn’t love it. When Mrs. Allen first asked me to come to work here, I said ‘maybe.’ And then it just turned into a real long time.” Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL TO ESTABLISH A VIRGINIA COMMUNITY SOLAR PILOT PROGRAM PURSUANT TO § 56-585.1:3 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2018-00009 On January 19, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to § 56-585.1:3 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and Rule 80 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Commission (“Rules of Practice”) for approval to establish a Virginia Community Solar Pilot Program (“Pilot Program”), including a new voluntary companion tariff, designated Rider VCS – Virginia Community Solar Pilot Program (“Rider VCS”). On May 4, 2018, Dominion filed an amended Application (“Amended Application”) that updated and corrected pricing information submitted in its initial Application. Code § 56-585.1:3 requires each investor-owned utility, including Dominion, to design and conduct a community solar pilot program, and to make subscriptions for participation in its pilot program available to retail customers on a voluntary basis within six months of receiving Commission approval. The Application states that pursuant to such a community solar pilot program, “participating retail customers may voluntarily elect to purchase the ‘net electrical output’ of new solar generating facilities located in communities throughout the Company’s Virginia service territory…under Rider VCS.” Code § 56-585.1:3 provides that the Commission shall approve the recovery of the Pilot Program costs that the Commission deems to be reasonable and prudent. This Code section also requires Commission approval of the Pilot Program design, the voluntary companion rate schedule (i.e., Rider VCS), and the portfolio of participating generating facilities (referred to herein as the “Community Solar Portfolio” or “Portfolio”), pursuant to specific requirements in Code § 56-585.1:3 regarding the Request for Proposal (“RFP”) criteria and selection process, the minimum and maximum generating capacities of the Community Solar Portfolio, and Pilot Program duration. Dominion states in the Application that, using the RFP process prescribed by Code § 56-585.1:3, “the Company solicited power purchase agreements (‘PPAs’) to be executed with eligible solar generating facilities that provide the Company the exclusive right to 100% of the net electrical output that these facilities dedicate to the Pilot Program.” The Company selected five winning proposals and four alternate proposals from facilities that qualify as “eligible generation facilities,” as defined in Code § 56 585.1:3 A, and which total ten megawatts (“MW”) of new solar photovoltaic capacity, consistent with Code § 56-585.1:3. Dominion states that the selected PPA projects, which constitute the Company’s Community Solar Portfolio, are located within the Company’s service territory and will be interconnected to the Company’s distribution system. Dominion further states that it expects to execute final PPAs with these developers in the near future. According to the Company, “the spirit and intent of the community solar legislation” is to include, to the extent possible, small eligible generating facilities with a generating capacity of less than 0.5 MW. The smallest project bidder in response to the Company’s RFP was 625 kilowatts (“kW”). Accordingly, on January 19, 2018, the Company issued a second RFP tailored specifically to seek small projects less than 500 kW in size. The Company states that based on the responses, the Company may select one or more projects that qualify as small eligible generating facilities for inclusion in its Community Solar Portfolio, which the Commission is being asked to approve. According to the Application, the proposed pricing for the three-year subscription-based Pilot Program is designed “to be attractive to qualifying customers looking for voluntary options to promote, support, and purchase community solar.” The Pilot Program is available to all retail customers – those customers taking service on the Company’s Rate Schedules 1, 1P, 1S, 1T, DP-R, 1EV, 5, 5C, 5P, 6, 6TS, 10, 25, 27, 28, 29, GS-1, DP-1, GS-2, GS-2T, DP-2, GS-3, SCR-GS-3, MBR-GS-3, GS-4, SCR-GS-4, and MBR-GS-4, as well as Special Contracts approved by the Commission pursuant to Code § 56-235.2 – in two subscription options. Participants may subscribe by purchasing 100 kilowatt-hours (“kWh”) blocks (each constituting one “VCS Block”) of community solar on a monthly (or billing period) basis, for an annually-updated fixed price. Alternatively, participants, with the exception of “Large Non-residential Customers,” may subscribe by purchasing community solar to match 100% of their monthly (or billing period) usage in kWh for an annually-updated fixed price per kWh. In order to allow for broader community participation in the Pilot Program, the Company proposes the following maximum subscription allotments for eligible customers who subscribe by purchasing VCS blocks: (1) residential customers will be limited to five whole VCS Blocks per billing cycle, and (2) non-residential customers will be limited to ten whole VCS Blocks per billing cycle. If the 100% match option is not selected, participating customers must subscribe to a minimum of one whole VCS Block per billing cycle, and customers may change their subscription level once per year, subject to availability. The Company states that it will make every effort to ensure the subscribed amount of community solar does not exceed the projected output of the Portfolio. If the Portfolio’s net electrical output is not sufficient to meet participating customers’ subscriptions on an annual basis, the Company will supplement the Portfolio with solar Renewable Energy Certificates (“RECs”). There is no application fee to subscribe to Rider VCS. The Company states that because Rider VCS is designed as a voluntary companion tariff to the participating customer’s Principal Tariff (i.e. the rate schedule on which the customer takes service from the Company), the customer’s billing statement will be largely unchanged, with the exception of a new line item – the “VCS Net Rate.” The VCS Net Rate (in cents per kWh) will be calculated based on the participating customer’s actual billed usage during each billing period, capped at the customer’s subscription level. A participating customer’s energy usage that exceeds the amount subscribed for under Rider VCS will be billed under the Principal Tariff for the customer’s account. The VCS Net Rate includes the cost of the Pilot Program (“VCS Charge”) and a proportional credit for the market value of power equal to the net electrical output generated, as well as the capacity provided, by the Community Solar Portfolio (“VCS Adjustment”). The Company states that the proposed VCS Charge includes (i) purchased power costs, which are based on PPA prices for solar energy, capacity, and Environmental Attributes; (ii) RFP costs; (iii) marketing charges; (iv) customer service costs; and (v) a reasonable margin based on purchased power costs. The VCS Adjustment will include a forecasted energy credit and a credit based on the market value of the capacity provided by the Community Solar Portfolio. The Company proposes to reset the VCS Adjustment annually, with 90 days’ advance notice to existing and prospective Pilot Program customers, using forecasting methods for PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (“PJM”) energy and capacity prices consistent with those used in the Company’s annual fuel filing. Accordingly, Rider VCS customers will be able to lock in to the VCS Net Rate annually. Through its Amended Application, the Company now proposes a fixed price of 6.42¢ per kWh for the VCS Charge. The VCS Adjustment may fluctuate annually, but the Amended Application states that based on current energy credit forecasts, the Company believes the VCS Net Rate will be approximately 2.01¢ per kWh in the first year of the Pilot Program, if approved. The Company states that the generating resources in the Portfolio will act as load reducers in PJM and, accordingly, all generation from those resources will lower purchased power costs recovered through the Company’s fuel factor. To ensure that Rider VCS customers receive the benefit and non-participating customers remain neutral to Rider VCS, the Company plans to make a Rider VCS energy adjustment to the Company’s fuel factor. For the same reason, a capacity adjustment will be made in the Company’s future cost-of-service studies because the generation from the Portfolio’s resources will reduce the amount of capacity that the Company must purchase in PJM. As required by Code § 56-585.1:3 B 7, the Company will retire the RECs and other environmental attributes associated with the resources used to serve customers on Rider VCS. The Company will make Rider VCS subscriptions available within six months of Commission approval of the Pilot Program; however, the Company states that participating customer subscriptions will not become effective until one or more Community Solar Portfolio sites begin to generate renewable energy. Subscribing customers will be subject to a minimum one year term. After the initial one-year term, Rider VCS customers may terminate service under Rider VCS with 30 days’ notice to the Company. Dominion asserts that its Community Solar Pilot Program, including Rider VCS, is in the public interest, as the Pilot Program is consistent with the requirements of Code § 56-585.1:3, which states: The participation of retail customers in a [community solar pilot program] administered by a participating utility in the Commonwealth is in the public interest. Voluntary companion rate schedules approved by the Commission pursuant to this section are necessary in order to acquire information which is in the furtherance of the public interest. The Company asserts, among other things, that the Pilot Program is also in the public interest because it will (i) enhance fuel diversification across the Company’s generation portfolio; (ii) provide environmental benefits; (iii) provide economic benefits; (iv) further the General Assembly’s stated goals of promoting solar energy through distributed energy generation; and (v) support the objectives of the Commonwealth Energy Policy set forth at Code §§ 67-101, et seq. The Company further asserts that Rider VCS and its cost recovery method are reasonable and prudent because (i) the Rider VCS Charge will be designed to recover the Company’s expected actual costs to serve each participating customer under the Pilot Program; (ii) the VCS Adjustment will be market-based and reset annually to maintain consistency with then-current market conditions; (iii) non-participating customers will not be required to pay for, or subsidize, the costs to serve participating customers with community solar; and (iv) Rider VCS is voluntary. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application, Amended Application, and supporting documents for further details of the Company’s proposals. The Company’s Amended Application and the Amended Order for Notice and Comment that the Commission entered in this case, are available for public inspection during regular business hours at each of the Company’s business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Fauquier Community Theatre’s ‘Into the Woods, Jr.’ opens June 8 By Danica Low
Contributing Writer
For nearly 40 years, the nonprofit Fauquier Community Theatre has presented stories to delight local audiences on the Vint Hill Theater stage with professional ambition and enthusiastic enjoyment. The group has produced an array of productions, including comedy, history, holiday and the occasional dark-themed tales. This June, in a spirited and daring classic revered for a century, FCT’s youngest actors will present “Into the Woods, Jr.,” in six performances across two summer weekends. Directed by lifelong Fauquier County resident and educator Cathy Davis, and produced by Saralyn Aylor, “Into the Woods, Jr.” exudes humor, inspiration and life lessons. With a cast of 22 young people aged 10 to 18 from Fauquier and surrounding counties, all roles are played by local teens. “The cast has been fantastic,” said Davis. “Some of the veteran actors have truly stepped up to help inspire and guide the students who are newer to theater. The crew and production team consist almost entirely of young adults. My greatest joy has been to bring out the talent of each cast member and help them surpass.”
The baker (James Takacs) and the baker’s wife (Elizabeth Nefferdorf) The twisted comedic fairytale is family-friendly and for all ages. Featuring Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and his beanstalk, the witch, Rapunzel and of course, Wolf, and other memorable characters, “Into the Woods, Jr.” is a shortened version of the Tony-award winning musical. The baker and the baker’s wife will walk audiences through some of the most iconic fairytale stories ever told. There are not starring roles in this production, but rather a real combination of many stories told from the youthful narrator’s perspective. The characters are relatable and comedic. “This is going to be a great show with some fresh faces and new talent. Even audience members who are familiar with ‘Into the Woods’ will be surprised and excited to see our version,” Davis said. “The show
is full of humor. It is very funny.” Alyssa Gilmore plays Cinderella; Diego Quintanar-Pena plays Jack; Hannah Pelletier plays Jack’s mother; James Takacs plays the baker; Elizabeth Nefferdorf plays the baker’s wife; Mary Ellen Underwood plays Little Red Riding Hood; Sierra Aylorplays the witch; Alexa Meriweather plays Cinderella’s mother; Cole Edwards plays the mysterious man; Sydney Ferris plays the narrator; Ava Pastor plays Wolf; Maddie Kuzma plays Granny; Gwenny Verity plays Rapunzel; Sophia Thomson plays the steward; Jessica Singley plays Cinderella’s step-mother; Emily Copeland plays Lucinda; Amanda Crossen plays Florinda; Rutger Scott plays Rapunzel’s prince; and Seamus Koehr plays Cinderella’s prince.

Love at the Hunt Country Stable Tour By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
The 59th annual Hunt Country Stable Tour held May 26-27 raised more than $60,000 for the local and regional outreach funds administered by the Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville. It also produced a totally unexpected love story, so keep reading. With a record advance ticket sale boosted by a significant digital marketing effort, the stable tour attracted hundreds of visitors from all around the beltway and from as far away as Florida, Louisiana, Vermont, Bulgaria and Ukraine. (Hint: the last two countries were involved in the love story.) Patrons were able to visit a dozen different venues in the Middleburg and Upperville areas. They included a number of local farms, the National Sporting Library and Museum and the Middleburg Training Track, where Thoroughbred race horses went through their morning workouts. There also were wide variety of demonstrations at several farms, including basset hounds, show-jumping, carriage-driving and horses exercising by swimming in a farm pond. Several hundred volunteers, most members of the Trinity congregation, were on duty at all the sites over the weekend. The church raised over $13,000 at its thrift shop under the direction of Dr. Cindy Thompson, a Middleburg-based surgeon who also volunteers to run the popular enterprise.
They all gathered back at the church Sunday night for a buffet dinner, where it was announced that Katherine “Kat” Gemmer, who chaired this year’s event, will continue in that role for a third straight year in 2019. “We’re thrilled with the response,” Gemmer said. “To me, it’s not so much about the money, it’s about the people we’re able to touch in our outreach programs. We’re able to make a difference, and that’s what makes this so special.” It also was rather special for a young couple visiting Fox View Farm in Upperville on Sunday afternoon. That’s the love story. Alex Pachedzhiev is a native of Bulgaria. Krissy Modrytska came from Ukraine. They live in Alexandria, where he’s a real estate agent and she works at a Red Door salon. Not far from the Fox View stable and a picturesque pond populated by two white swans, he asked her to marry him. She said yes, an engagement that apparently was a first for the Hunt Country Stable Tour. “She had been on the tour before and told me about how nice it was out there,” Alex said. “So I was looking for the right place to do it. I was thinking about a beautiful farm, maybe with a lake. We came to Fox View and it was just what I was envisioning. A pond, a fountain, swans, flowers on the tables. It was perfect.” Laura Cramer, who owns Fox View with her husband Joe, said the future groom told her they had visited some of the other farms and “he was

It was so sweet. They had their friends with them and they had a picnic and stayed for quite a long time. I’m honored.” Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com.
Piedmont Symphony performs with pianist Carlos Cèsar Rodriguez By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
The Warrenton-based Piedmont Symphony Orchestra closes out its winter/spring sea-son with a program called “The Spice of Life,” featuring renowned pianist Carlos Cèsar Rodriguez, on Sunday, June 10, at the Highland School’s Center for the Arts starting at 3 p.m. Rodríguez is recognized as a virtuoso pianist who not only generates excitement in the His-panic and Spanish repertoire, but also a flair for Mozart, the romantics and avant-garde scores. In a recent concert review, The Washington Post described him as a “piano virtuoso.” “Rodriguez gave a performance
notable for brilliant subtlety, a fine control of keyboard col-oration and overwhelming muscular power,” the Post wrote. The native of Venezuela is also an expert on early instruments. He was chosen by the Smith-sonian to perform during the 300th year Celebration of the Piano. He was also invited to partici-pate in the 150th anniversary celebration of the Smithsonian Institution, according to his pro-fessional biography. Rodríguez won acclaim as music director of Mozart operas and Zarzuelas (Spanish operas), and as a composer, arranger and improviser of ballets, Spanish dance scores and latin-jazz/pop compositions. As a concert pianist, Rodríguez made his recital debut in his native Venezue-
la at age 5 and made his orchestral debut as soloist at age 11. Soon after he arrived in the U.S. to continue his music studies, he was a finalist in the New York Philharmonic Young People’s Competition, his biography said. At age 21, he made his Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall debut. As concert-artist he has toured Europe and performed concerti and solo recitals throughout the Americas. Venues in which Rodríguez has performed include the John F. Kennedy Center, the White House and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C; Merkin Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Americas Society in New York; and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, his biography states. As a chamber music artist, Rodrí-
guez became a regular guest artist with the Garth New-ell Chamber Music Festival. As a collaborative artist, he has worked with Jessye Norman, Denyce Graves and Plácido Domingo. As a conductor, he’s performed throughout the Americas. The Piedmont Symphony, under the direction of renowned conductor Glenn Quader, will have a busy summer, performing twice at the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival in Orkney Springs, Virginia., on Saturday, July 21, and Saturday, July 28, and then offering a free concert in Middleburg at the National Sporting Library and Museum on Friday, Aug. 31. For further information go to www.piedmontsymphony.org.
Hylton offers summertime shows for young audiences As part of its “Summer Performances for Young Audiences,” the Hylton Performing Arts Center is planning a schedule of engaging musicians, actors and well-rounded performers on its Merchant Hall stage.

Students have an opportunity to share their thoughts and ask questions during a post-show discussion with the actors. Single Carrot Theatre’s work grows from the conviction that participatory cultural experiences facilitate learning, and that artistic expression is civic engagement. Tickets: $15 adults/$5 children
Flow Circus: Science of Awesome
Tuesday, July 31 at 11 a.m. The audience will explore the world of science and skill-building toys where things fall, bal-
ance and spin. The audience is left with an urge to pick up and play with the world around them and discover the mysterious forces of the invisible, physical world.

will have a table with baked goods to satisfy your sweet tooth. Our neighbor, Jay Speer, is recuperating at home following heart surgery. All of the good wishes sent his way are greatly appreciated. Hopefully Jay will be out and about very soon. Can’t keep a good man down! Watch for ticks. These nasty, dangerous bugs can cause serious illness. Yesterday we found one crawling around in our right ear. Thankfully, it was not attached and went to a watery grave quickly. Be careful when removing these rascals; do it gently and be sure to get the head. June 17 is Father’s Day. Bring your Dad or some special person to the Orlean Volunteer Fire Department for breakfast from 8-11 a.m. After breakfast wander across the street to the Orlean Market for Cars and Coffee where the guys can show off their classic and restored vehicles. The Orlean Market will have live music and food all day. Enjoy your day in our wonderful village. Thanks to our Fauquier County sheriff’s department officers for quickly arresting the person wanted for theft of a firearm from a home on Conde Road this week. This person was also wanted on several felony warrants. It is very reassuring to have the presence of law enforcement officers on site when needed. Keep the news coming, please. This is your column and we need you.

It’s Bagworm Time
The bagworm, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis, is an unusual and serious defoliating pest of many ornamental trees and shrubs. It receives its name from the bag-like structure constructed from leaf fragments that are bound together with silk produced by the larva, which looks like a small pine cone. Most of the insect’s life is spent within the bag, which serves as a protective structure. Bagworms feed on more than 125 species of trees and conifers.Arborvitae, juniper, cedar, Leyland cypress and white pine are preferred hosts. The presence of the spindle-shaped bag structures is the principal evidence of a bagworm infestation. The bagworm overwinters as yellowish eggs within the bag. Larvae emerge and begin feeding in mid-June and begin constructing new bags. In early July through early August, fully-grown larvae secure their bags to a twig with silk and pupate within the bag. Male moths emerge in about one month and fly to a bag containing a female, and mating occurs. Eggs are deposited within the bag, with one generation occurring each year. Bagworms can cause severe damage and defoliation to many evergreen and deciduous tree species.

W.G. Coleman Elementary School 4th Nine Weeks 2017-2018 ALL A HONOR ROLL
Right at home in Upperville By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
Just west of the Upperville Colt and Horse Show grounds, there is a fully renovated circa-1843 home on the corner of U.S. 50 and Delaplane Grade Road is awaiting a new owner. It has a surprising fully fenced back yard and gorgeous front and back porches and great news …everything has been renovated from the windows to the electric, new boiler, added AC and lots more. It is move-in ready. The fully restored stucco and frame Greek revival home welcomes visitors to the front door up steps onto the full façade double porch. This large porch, along with the back porch, were completely renovated including floors, railings, steps, support structures, and Doric pillars in keeping with the Greek Revival style of the home. Open the antique double front doors into a foyer with gleaming hardwood floors. To the left is the formal living room with a re-lined fireplace with an antique mantel and new granite hearth and surround. To the right is the formal dining room with another fireplace with a field stone hearth, ornate mantel and wood paneling. Both rooms have floor-to-ceiling front windows with installed wood blinds. Walk the front hall back into the light filled mudroom area that features the back door onto the rear porch that leads down to a landscaped terrace area, the gardens, parking area and garage. From the mudroom on the right is the fully renovated kitchen with ceramic tile flooring, custom cabinetry, high-end stainless appliances, a farm sink and granite counter-tops. To the left is the family room with a new bank of windows that overlook the fully landscaped back yard. A full bath completes this level. On the upper level there is a master bedroom suite that includes a sitting room and a large picture window overlooking the gardens below. The master bath, along with all the baths in the house, have been completely renovated with new vanities, flooring, cabinetry and lighting. The two guest bedrooms share a full bath
A bit of Upperville history The village of Upperville was established in 1790 along Pantherskin Creek, and was made up of 50 lots and said to be ‘...a mile long and an inch wide.’ Originally called Carrstown, in honor of its founder Josephus Carr, the village was renamed Upperville in 1818. In 1976, when Upperville was placed in the National Register of Historic Places, over 50 of the 75 buildings that comprised the village were built in the 19th century, and well over half of those date prior to 1860. Laden with Civil War history, Upperville is also steeped with an equine background as well, and is home to the oldest horse show in America, the Upperville Colt & Horse Show, founded in 1853. This year’s show will run from Monday, June 4 to Sunday, June 10, for the $216,000 Upperville Jumper Finals. Surrounding the village are large farms that were all once thoroughbred breeding operations, and many still have horses today.
with access to the second story front porch. The back of the house features an enclosed sunroom over the rear porch that serves as a studio, home office or fourth guest bedroom. The back of the house opens into a fully fenced (dog-friendly) yard that includes a professionally landscaped patio area with walkways, garden beds, plantings and a sprawling back lawn. The parking area leads back to the renovated two-car garage. There is a garden shed, along with another smaller shed for garbage cans and even a back area for composting! There was not a detail spared in upgradeding every aspect of this charming home from the electrical systems, to new windows, installed air conditioning and a water treatment system, repaired the stucco outside and the plaster walls within, replaced the boiler, added a new roof and gutters, and refinished all the floors. Move right in to this gorgeous antique home, offered for $890,000 in the lovely historic village of Upperville. The location is ideally located in Northern Fauquier County, only 45 minutes to Dulles International Airport and a little over one hour to downtown Washington.

Exploring Fauquier’s equestrian history The recent Virginia Gold Cup put us in mind of Fauquier County’s rich equestrian history. Horses show up in numerous histories of Fauquier, but none more so than in the writings of M. Louise Evans. Evans (1887-1966) moved from North Carolina to Warrenton in 1904; by the following year she had secured a job with the Fauquier Democrat (now the Fauquier Times) where she wrote articles of local interest. In 1915, she became the newspaper’s local editor and business manager. She also eventually served as Warrenton’s correspondent to the Associated Press and worked for the Virginia Gold Cup Office. By the 1940s and ’50s, the “Old Timer,” as Evans was then known, often regaled readers with reminiscences of bygone equestrian events and significant milestones, most of which took place in Warrenton. These are just a few anecdotes pulled from her book “An Old Timer in Warrenton and Fauquier County.” In the early 1900s, the opening day of Warrenton’s March Court included a ‘parade of stallions’ along Main Street after which the horses were sold or traded. At the turn of the 20th century, the Warrenton Horse Show drew large crowds who arrived by horse-drawn wagon, cart, and coach. Dances held at the show were the highlight of the summer social calendar. Fauquier’s first steeplechase was organized at the White Sulphur Springs in 1844.
Polo is thought to have first been played in the county in 1895. The Fauquier-Loudoun Polo Club was founded in 1920 and a ladies’ team was organized around 1957. The Warrenton Pony Show, the oldest pony show in America, was established at Neptune Lodge around 1918 by Warrenton children. The Warrenton Hunt, organized in 1887, is one of Virginia’s oldest hunt clubs. A hunt was staged at Warrenton’s Oakwood estate in 1941 for the visiting Duke and Duchess of Windsor (also known as the former King Edward VIII and his wife Wallis Simpson). You can learn more about local horse history in Dewey Decimal sections 798799 of the library’s catalog or stop by the Virginiana Room at the Warrenton central library. Here are a few resources recommended by library staff. • “A Community of the Horse, Partnerships” by Bruce Smart • “Famous Horsewomen of Virginia” by Francis Bush • “The History and Origins of the Virginia Gold Cup” by William Myzk • “Jericho Turnpike: The Storied Route of Foxhunting from New York to Virginia” • “Northern Virginia’s Equestrian Heritage” by Mary L.
