Youth For Tomorrow pledges to reunite kids with families CEO Gary Jones expects most immigrant children at the Bristow facility to be released to relatives within two weeks By Jill Palermo and Jonathan Hunley Times Staff Writers

Youth For Tomorrow’s Chief Executive Officer Gary L. Jones said Monday he expects most of the migrant children recently brought to its Bristow facility after being separated from parents or relatives at the U.S. border will be reunited with their families within two weeks. The nonprofit, launched by former Washington Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs in 1986, is housing 15 immigrant children between the ages of 10 and 17 who were forcibly separated since April from their families at the border

by U.S. government officials as a result of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance policy” for those entering the country at unauthorized crossing points. Youth For Tomorrow has been in contact with 14 of the 15 families involved. Jones said he anticipates all the children will be returned to their families in about two weeks. “We will reunite them with their families,” he said. Most of the adults who traveled to the U.S. with the children have been released from government custody but not deported from the U.S., Jones said.

The Fauquier Times has not been able to independently verify that the reunifications are pending. Located on Linton Hall Road, Youth For Tomorrow has been caring for immigrant teens for six years under a federal contract. But until recently, those were teens who arrived at the border on their own, without a parent or guardian. The organization also works to reunite children in those situations with family members. “That’s what we do here is reunite children with their families,” Jones said.

Historic Waterloo Bridge wins reprieve 1878 bridge to be reopened after $4 million renovation By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The 140-year-old Waterloo Bridge, closed since 2014 for safety reasons, will be rebuilt in a $4 million renovation project that could begin in about a year. That was the big news to emerge from a June 20 meeting of the Virginia Commonwealth Transportation Board, a 17-member group of appointees that oversees how the state spends money on transportation improvements. INSIDE Business.............................................23 Classified............................................50 Communities......................................46 Faith...................................................49

Built in 1878, the light-green wrought-irontruss structure spans the Rappahannock River connecting Va. 613, or Jeffersonton Road, in Fauquier County, to Waterloo and Old Bridge roads in Culpeper County. Commonly known as the Waterloo Bridge, it was the oldest metal truss bridge still in service in Virginia when the Virginia Department of Transportation closed it in January 2014 when traffic flow was 680 vehicles per day.

“Waterloo Bridge is a dramatic transportation feature that often elicits a sense of awe from visitors ... It’s one piece of a greater collection that makes Fauquier County unique and special. I’m so glad that it is on track to be saved for future generations to enjoy.” JULIE BOLTHOUSE Piedmont Environmental Council land-use representative in Fauquier County

Lavender’s blue, dilly, dilly

Edie Williamson and her grandson Joel

Driving into Seven Oaks Lavender Farm in Catlett has that Burl Ives kind of feel — you expect to see him strumming a guitar in the charming, white pavilion set amidst rows of lavender. Without actual music playing, you feel wrapped in soft, rich, reassuring tones — a tranquil rhythm with notes of children laughing, butterfly nets swishing the air and the gentle, nearly imperceptible, sound of scissors snipping lavender stems. Adults may find their way to the acres of lavender bushes before the children as they will be tempted by a playhouse and bunny pen. The playhouse is fully equipped and there is even a porch swing designed for youngsters.

Seven Oaks Lavender Farm 8769 Old Dumfries Road Catlett 540-272-7839 www.sevenoakslavenderfarm.com Bent over one corner of the garden is Edie Williamson and her grandson, Joel. “He’s helping me today,” she says with a loving look to her 15-year-old grandson, a rising sophomore at Kettle Run High School. “He’s a soccer player,” she says proudly. Today, he is pouring out bags of fertilizer on garden beds, smoothing it gently with gloved hands and smiling, clearly happy to be lending a hand. “I’m the farmer,” Edie says, “my daughter, Deb, takes care of the business side.” A large white tent welcomes visitors with tables and chairs if you’d like to sit. Lavender wreaths are being made at one table. At another, a woman weaves strands of ribbon through lavender stems to form a sachet bouquet. A young girl sells freshly baked lemon-lavender cupcakes and packages of lavender infused shortbread cookies. To quench your thirst, try a glass of lavender mint iced tea or lavender lemonade. For Deborah, starting the farm with her mother, Edie, and father, Glenn, was a return to her roots. With a strong legacy of farming and marketing, she made the move from city life in New York back to Virginia open spaces and fertile soil. After doing some research and taking advice from a good friend, she decided that growing lavender would be her dream crop.

For Edie, helping her daughter is a delight as being on a farm is second nature. Working hard and working the land are part of her DNA. “We like it,” Edie smiles as she looks out on the purple shrubs neatly laid out in rows dotted here and there with basket carrying visitors choosing just the right stems, or the small child hoping to catch a butterfly dancing above the plants or the photographer catching the morning light. The fields attract camera carrying visitors to capture their loved ones among the blooms. Peak season at the lavender farm is the end of June going into July. This year you can enjoy two days of peace, love and aromatherapy at this popular farm by attending Summer Bloom Fest 2018 from June 30 - July 1, rain or shine. There are two time slots a day, each providing four hours of lavender fun from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. and again from 2-6 p.m. There will be dedicated field parking spaces and limited tickets available. Tickets are $20 per car, eight lavender lovers per vehicle. In addition to the bunny pen, there will be a goat looking zoo. You can make a wreath or sachet, there will be demonstrations and, of course, opportunities to pick your own lavender or flowers or herbs. Food trucks will be on hand and lavender beer right down the road at Powers Farm Brewery. You can visit them before or after your farm stop. They are offering $1 off their special lavender beer to festival goers. Feel free to bring your own picnic basket and BYOB. See website to purchase tickets.

A FINAL SEND OFF Many people do not envision their funerals as being the somber occasions that most of us have come to expect and accept. Instead, they foresee the rites surrounding their burial or cremation to be more like celebratory events similar to weddings, graduations, or other milestones. The only difference is that the person whose life is being celebrated is present only in spirit. Against this backdrop, friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances gather to eat, drink, dance, and sing in accordance with the deceased’s final wishes. Everyone is invited to share memories about past experiences in a way that elevates the memory of the deceased to heights that might not otherwise have been reached. A funeral is an experience of value and when properly planned can provide lasting satisfaction and comfort to the survivors. Our funeral service family can assist you in planning and coordinating all of the details and will explain all of the available options. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” ~ Mark Twain

Radium shuts down New Baltimore public drinking-water well By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority has shut one of its 12 wells, which is in the New Baltimore area, after high levels of radium showed up in tests over the past year. The WSA said the water from the system is safe for the public to drink, and that the well will be offline until a treatment system is set up over the next three months. Drinking the water with the radium levels found for a year equals the amount of exposure from one chest X-ray, the WSA said in a news release. The water in the well tested outside of federal and state drinking-water standards for radium from the second quarter of 2017 through the first quarter of 2018, the news release said. The authority said in its statement that because groundwater can con-

tinually change, by law, four quarterly samples are required by the Virginia Department of Health before a determination can be made. “When the elevated levels for radium were first discovered, FCWSA began conducting additional tests in cooperation with VDH,” the news release said. The most recent tests, conducted in March 2018, confirmed that water from that single well still contained elevated levels of radium. Radium is a “naturally occurring radioactive metal found in rocks and soil that, through the process of erosion, can make its way into groundwater aquifers like the one serving the affected well,” the WSA press release said. “Since radium is present at relatively low levels in the natural environment, everyone has some level of exposure from it.” Because radium is a known carcinogen, federal and state standards are in place in the form of a Maximum Contaminant Level or MCL.”

An MCL is the maximum concentration of a substance that is allowed in public drinking water systems. The MCL for radium is 5 pCi/l. The well the WSA took offline averaged 6.6 pCi/l for a period of one year. A pCi is a measure of the rate of radioactive decay. One pCi, or picocurie, is one trillionth of a Curie, a larger measure of radioactivity. The water authority’s news release stated it “was always in accordance with state water testing requirements.” Because of the test results, FCWSA received a notice of violation from the Virginia Department of Health. Because of the nature of drinking water violations, FCWSA can only receive such a notice for elevated radium levels after the last round of test results is received, a full year after their initial discovery, the statement said. “It is important to note that receiving a notice of violation does not mean the drinking water was unsafe

to drink at any time. The draft public notice provided by the state says that customers do NOT need to use an alternative water supply,” the authority’s statement said. “The health and safety of our customers is our number one concern, and the rigorous testing system we put in place in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Health discovered the excessive radium levels,” said FCWSA Board Chairman Michael J. Focazio. “Four quarterly samples are required to determine if a well is out of compliance. As soon as the well was determined to be out of compliance, it was shut down.” “We know that some of our customers are concerned about the radium issue and its potential health effects,” continued Focazio. “We share their concerns, which is why FCWSA is committed to permanently addressing the situation for current and future generations of customers.” Reach Leland Schwartz at lschwartz@fauquier.com

Historic Waterloo Bridge to be reopened after $4 million renovation BRIDGE from page 1

Money for Warrenton, U.S. 29

Deterioration had continued despite a 3-ton weight limit. Drivers have been using Va. 211, or Lee Highway, and Va. 688, or Leeds Manor Road, as alternate routes. The bridge got a $1 million boost last November, when Russell Hitt, chairman of Hitt Contracting, donated matching funds that both Fauquier and Culpeper counties declined to provide. Though they supported rehabilitating the bridge, supervisors for both counties declined to allocate funds to do so in the face of other priorities. Hitt, who grew up near the bridge, and said he wanted to save it for his children and grandchildren. “I miss going up and down that bridge and hearing the tires rumble,” Hitt told the Fauquier supervisors last fall. “That’s a great experience.” Restoring the historic bridge and returning it to service was also long championed by the Piedmont Environmental Council. “Waterloo Bridge is a dramatic transportation feature that often elicits a sense of awe from visitors,” said Julie Bolthouse, PEC’s land-use representative in Fauquier County. “For residents, it provides a connection to history and the scenic river below and creates a sense of identity. “It’s one piece of a greater collection that makes Fauquier County unique and special,” she added. “I’m so glad that it is on track to be saved for future generations to enjoy.” Bolthouse noted, however, that restoring the bridge has raised some concerns among its neighbors. Some have spoken against reopening the bridge because of traffic. “There is still a lot of work to be done and we are hoping to work with VDOT to mitigate some of the safety concerns of adjacent neighbors through speed reductions, height restrictions and

She said during a bridge design forum in Warrenton last year that she was not in favor of “spending millions of dollars for a bridge for vehicular traffic.” Tufts said those who want to save it should raise the money rather than rely on taxpayers. The bridge should also be relocated from the floodplain where she said it now sits. As recently as May, Tufts called the project a “boondoggle” at a CTB forum in Culpeper. The CTB approved $3.1 million for the project from state revenue-sharing and transportation-alternative grants. Work could begin a year from now and is expected to take 18 months to complete. VDOT plans to dismantle and remove the bridge truss to repair and then reinstall it. Some of the bridge components will likely have to be replaced with new material that looks like the old. The bridge’s green paint color will be maintained.

During its June 20 meeting, the CTB approved a total of $9.6 million in both state and local funding for road projects in Fauquier County and the Town of Warrenton, according to Will Merritt, communications coordinator for VDOT’s Culpeper District. Most of the projects have multiple funding sources, usually a combination of state and local. The $9.6 million includes funding for the following projects: • $660,000 for the extension of Salem Avenue to the Washburn Place townhomes • $451,409 for the Timber Fence Trail project in Warrenton • $105,060 to synchronize traffic signals on Lee Highway in Warrenton • $68,038 to pave a small section of U.S. 15 Business in Warrenton • $252,126 to pave a section of West Lee Highway in Warrenton The CTB also approved an additional $4.9 million in Highway Safety Improvement Program funds for U.S. 29 corridor improvements. VDOT and Fauquier County will hold a series of meetings with the community to reach agreement on what those improvements should be. The first meeting will be from 1 to 3 p.m. June 28 in the Barn on the Warrenton campus of Lord Fairfax Community College. VDOT representatives will also be available from 5 to 7 p.m. at the same location and date to hear from anyone who can’t attend the afternoon session. The meetings are intended to reach a consensus on strategies for improvements to the corridor. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier. com

Planned addiction recovery facility clears first hurdle By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County’s request that the Town of Warrenton rezone land on Hospital Drive to allow a residential addiction-recovery facility received the swift support of the town’s planning commission last week. No one spoke against the rezoning required to pave the way for such a facility during a June 19 public hearing that lasted about 25 minutes, Fauquier County Supervisor Chris Granger (Center), Warrenton Mayor Powell Duggan, Warrenton Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds (at large) and Deputy Fauquier County Administrator Katie Heritage all spoke in favor of the rezoning. The county and town have been working to fill a gap in services for those dealing with addiction. In January, town council rejected a request from the nonprofit McShin Foundation for a special-use permit to add a residential treatment program in the downtown Warrenton building where it offers peer-to-peer counseling. The building used by McShin on John Marshall Street is within the town’s central business district, which prohibits residences on the first floor of commercial buildings. McShin is ending its involvement in the Warrenton program on July 30, citing financial reasons. Chris Connell, who has managed the Warrenton center, has formed a new nonprofit, Hope Heals, to continue providing the peer-to-peer counseling service currently offered. Under McShin, counselors have been working with inmates with substance-use disorders at the county jail. The county is proposing to use

a 5,300-square-foot medical building on land it owns at 340 Hospital Drive near Fauquier Hospital. It’s currently zoned “residential office.” A rezoning to “public semi-public” is needed. The rezoning would bring the site in line with planned future uses designated in the town’s long-term planning blueprint known as the “comprehensive plan.” Heritage said the building will be used as an outpatient center initially with the potential of adding a residential service later. She said the county has been looking at possible service providers to carry on the counseling work. A town staff analysis found the site has adequate road access for visitors and meets the needed parking requirements. The county will need to submit a site plan. Conditions set by the town include identifying any outdoor programs and activities on the site and a measure requiring any future addiction-recovery facility to be staffed by individuals with the required professional licensing. A plan for shared access and signage were added as new requirements. The town also wants to see a shared-use agreement. The building is occupied by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, which operates a mental health clinic in the two-story building. The rezoning and special-use permit requests are now headed to the town council for action. A public hearing has been scheduled for 7 p.m. July 10 in town council chambers at 18 Court St. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

VDOT to hold meeting Thursday on U.S. 29 improvements By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Virginia Department of Transportation will meet with Fauquier County officials and community representatives June 28 to discuss ways to improve safety and move traffic more efficiently on the U.S. 29 corridor in northern Fauquier County. The meeting will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Barn on Lord Fairfax Community College’s Fauquier campus. VDOT officials will also be available from 5 to 7 p.m. that day to receive comments from those unable to attend the afternoon meeting. VDOT and Fauquier County representatives, along with several community and business representatives, will discuss transportation issues and concerns within the corridor, particularly on the section between Warrenton and Prince William County. VDOT says the June 28 meeting is intended to kick off a collaborative effort between VDOT, Fauquier

County and the community to reach a consensus on strategies for improvements to the corridor and at several intersections where the need for safety and operational improvements have been identified, including Vint Hill Road and Broad Run Church Road. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors had called on VDOT to cease work on plans for several intersections that included a restricted crossing at Vint Hill Road. VDOT’s idea for that intersection — commonly known as a “Michigan left” design — was deemed by many who live and work in the area as bad for business and inconvenient for residents. VDOT held several listening sessions about those plans, most recently one in April hosted by Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st. The supervisors asked VDOT to work with the community on alternatives. The planned meeting on June 28 is the result. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Delayed by rain, mowing underway on area roads By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Now that the rain has mostly stopped coming down in buckets, the Virginia Department of Transportation crews and contract workers are tackling the high grass and weeds that have sprouted along medians and roadsides. VDOT reports that its mowing contractor is working in Fauquier County on the first cycle of mowing, which was delayed by the ongoing rain. Crews first take care of primary routes. As of last Friday, “a good portion of [U.S.] 29 is cut and they have begun mowing on [Va.] 28,” said Lou Hatter, communications manager for VDOT’s Culpeper District. After mowing along those two routes, crews will tackle the north end of U.S. 17. From there they’ll take care of Interstate 66. “Weather permitting, it will take several more weeks of mowing to complete the primary routes and interstate,” Hatter said. VDOT crews do the mowing on the secondary roads. Their work has also been delayed due to weather and emergency response to flooding damage. All area headquarters crews will be targeting secondary mowing this week, and VDOT hopes to make substantial headway in the next few weeks. “The second primary mowing cycle should begin in early-mid August and the third will commence in late September/early October, but this is all dependent on weather and how growing conditions go through the rest of the season,” Hatter said. VDOT’s mowing on secondary routes in most areas will likely consist of two mowing cycles rather than three. The second cycle will likely begin in mid-late August, he added. “We do pay special attention to intersections, crossovers and other places where sight distance is important for safety and keep the grass in those areas cut to a length that does not affect visibility,” Hatter said. “As always we attempt to be responsive to residents’ concerns with sight distance issues at individual locations and will make accommodations to address these concerns as we receive them.” If anyone has a concern with this or any other highway-related condition, they should call VDOT’s Customer Service Center, 800367-7623 (FOR-ROAD). The CSC is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Until Friday it had been unclear if Youth For Tomorrow was housing children separated from their families. A day before, images of the facility were featured on national news outlets such as CNN and MSNBC as a possible shelter for some of the more than 2,000 children who have been separated from their families at the U.S. border since the new policy went into effect.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER W, WARREN COUNTY POWER STATION CASE NO. PUR-2018-00087 •Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion") has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider W. •Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of $107.113 million for its 2019 Rider W. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on November 8, 2018, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission's website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/ case. On June 1, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia ("Dominion" or "Company"), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code of Virginia ("Code"), filed with the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") an annual update of the Company's rate adjustment clause, Rider W ("Application"). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with the Warren County Power Station ("Warren County Project" or "Project"), a 1,342 megawatt nominal natural gasfired combined-cycle electric generating facility and associated transmission interconnection facilities located in Warren County, Virginia. In 2012, the Commission approved Dominion's construction and operation of the Warren County Project and also approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider W, for Dominion to recover costs associated with the Project. The Warren County Project became fully operational in 2014. In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider W for the rate year beginning April 1, 2019, and ending March 31, 2020 ("2019 Rate Year"). The two components of the proposed total revenue requirement for the 2019 Rate Year are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a Projected Cost Recovery Factor revenue requirement of $103,327,000 and an Actual Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $3,786,000. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $107,113,000 for service rendered during the 2019 Rate Year. For purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case, Dominion utilized a rate of return on common equity ("ROE") of 10.2% which comprises a general ROE of 9.2% approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUR2017-00038, plus a 100 basis point enhanced return applicable to a combined-cycle generating station as described in § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code. For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, the Company utilized an ROE of 10.6% for the months of January 2017 through March 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.6% approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUE-2015-00061, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return; an ROE of 10.4% for the period of April 1, 2017, through November 28, 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.4% approved by the Commission in its Order in Case No. PUE-201600063, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return; and an ROE of 10.2% for the period of November 29, 2017, through December 31, 2017, which comprises the general ROE of 9.2% approved by the Commission in its 2017 ROE Order, plus the 100 basis point enhanced return. If the proposed Rider W for the 2019 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer's rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider Won April 1, 2019, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.03. The Company proposes a change in the methodology for the calculation of a certain allocation factor beginning in 2018 to recognize the output of certain non-utility generators to be used to allocate cost responsibility to the Virginia jurisdiction. In addition, with the exception of the removal of certain Federal and retail choice customers from the Virginia jurisdiction, the Company indicates it has calculated the proposed Rider W rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent Rider W proceeding, Case No. PUR-2017-00074. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company's Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on November 8, 2018, at 10 a.m., in the Commission's second floor 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.

PATH announces $44,315 in summer grants for Warrenton groups Staff Reports The PATH Foundation recently awarded three grants aimed at giving kids access to more fresh produce, and better nutrition, while also enriching community engagement with the arts. The PATH Foundation awarded Fauquier FISH a $25,000 grant to implement the Farmers Market Coalition’s Power of Produce program to distribute food vouchers to children for use at the Warrenton Farmers Market and the Archwood Green Barns Farmers Market in The Plains. The POP program, which operates in communities nationwide, is designed to help children to make healthy food choices while reducing food insecurity, according to a PATH Foundation press release. Children are provided “POP Bucks,” which allow children the independence to select their foods of choice while also encouraging healthy diets. POP Bucks will be distributed at various locations in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, including Fauquier FISH, public libraries, Fauquier Community Child Care, Fauquier Senior Center, Fauquier Community Food Bank and Thrift Store, Fauquier Free Clinic, and BOB’s Summer Adventure bus.

Warrenton Farmers Market

The PATH Foundation also awarded the Warrenton Farmers Market a $9,315 grant to support the market’s continued success in providing locally grown, healthy foods for residents, the press release said. Along with an impressive calendar of activities for families, the Warrenton Farmers Market provides fresh, local produce that contributes to the economic vitality of Fauquier County. The market is on the corner of Fifth and Lee streets in Old Town on Saturdays, and in the WARF parking lot on Wednesdays. “Fauquier FISH and the Warrenton Farmers Market will work together to encourage the use of ‘POP Bucks’ and to help combat food insecurity in our community,” the press release said.

Allegro Summer on the Green Concert Series

Finally, the PATH Foundation awarded Allegro Community School of the Arts a $10,000 grant to support its Summer on the Green concert series, the press release said. The goal is to revitalize and support the presence of musical events within the community. Grant funds will help secure equipment to support a variety of musical and theatrical offerings. Seven concerts are scheduled for July and August, with the first on July 7. The Summer on the Green series continues the tradition of the Bluemont Concert Series, which ended after more than 40 years.

In defense of the truth

On the face of it, truth would seem to be undeniable. Facts are facts. True and false. Right and wrong. Real and unreal. And yet, we are living in a time when “truth” can be open to interpretation, when falsehoods are spread by partisan media outlets — and more troubling, our highest elected officials — with relative ease. None of this is new. By nature, the nation is susceptible to lies. The controversial Sedition Act of 1798 criminalized making false statements critical of the federal government. (It expired after the election of Thomas Jefferson). William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer saw the money in sensationalism, providing the “yellow journalism” of the late 1800s that would, among other things, drive us into a war with Spain. The current climate saw its rise in the partisan world of talk radio and television, where bombastic enterOUR VIEW tainers expound on issues of the day and make unchecked proclamations about motives and agendas. The 24-hour news channels helped by creating so many time slots that need filling. Finally, the rise of social media makes it easier than ever to share all those opinions, whether based in truth or not. Things haven’t changed much from Hearst’s time. Telling the audience what it wants to hear is a money-making proposition. And audiences, with today’s options at its disposal, are all too willing to climb into an echo chamber. As the population becomes increasingly dissatisfied with its elected leaders and increasingly subscribes to partisan dogma, individuals have less interaction with other lines of thought and become far less receptive to ideas that challenge their core beliefs. In short, it’s simply easier to believe only that which confirms what we already suspect. Politicians, eager to keep their core supporters and get re-elected, are all too happy to feed on that. Perhaps that’s what motivates our highest elected officials — indeed, our president — to make statements completely at odds with the facts. And if the media calls them on it, to declare the media biased. And if fact-checkers prove certain statements incorrect, to deem the fact-checkers biased. And if science itself doesn’t back up the premise, to question the validity of science. And if the courts rule against it, to blame partisan judges. This is all a very dangerous road. Truth is supposed to be one of the things that makes the U.S. exceptional. When we espouse “truth, justice and the American way,” the world looks to us and to our leaders to be honest and forthright. If the world doesn’t trust us, if what it hear from our leaders, from all of us, are lies, then those promises are meaningless. We become a nation of lies. The truth isn’t easy. It means accepting things we don’t like. It means that when we hear something that seems too good to be true, we need to research and verify it. The truth is work. It takes time and effort. Sometimes, it means admitting we are wrong. But the truth is worth it.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago July 1, 1943 Technical Sergeant Howard W. Payne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Roger H. Payne of Warrenton, has been missing in action since June 13, his parents were notified last Thursday. Sgt. Payne is a B-17 mechanic and gunner and was reported missing on a day when 23 American bombers were lost over Kiel, Germany. J. Edwin Cox, treasurer of Fauquier County, has received his commission as a lieutenant, junior grade, in the U.S. Naval Reserve, and is awaiting orders to report for active service. Pvt. Isham Keith, U.S. Army, died June 26 from injuries received in a highway accident near Camp Livingston, La., where he was stationed. New officers of the Warrenton Rotary Club were installed last Thursday at their meeting held at the Coffee Shoppe. They are Charles O. Pratt, president; R.A. Fifield, vice president; L.L. Hutchison, secretary; W. G. Bartenstein, treasurer; J.O. Hodgkin, sergeant-at-arms; D.P. Wood, song leader; and directors T. D. Jones, George Sloane, Val Stieglitz, R.N. Moffett and W. N. Hodgkin. 50 Years Ago July 4, 1968 The school board Friday acted to abandon its controversial “freedom of choice” pupil assignment plan in the fall of 1969, and to replace it with a geographical assignment plan. Superintendent Ryland Dishner said the intent is to place pupils on the basis of their nearness to schools, “with adjustment for road and transportation problems.” The Fauquier High School newspaper, The Falconer, has won a superior rating, the highest given, from the Virginia High School League. Carolyn Gray and Byrd Eastham are co-editors of The Falconer, and faculty

Lightning killed five valuable horses at the Poplar Springs Farm of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Cutler of Casanova at about 9 p.m. last Wednesday. All had been standing near a tree and were found the next morning. 25 Years Ago June 30, 1993 By unanimous vote, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission voted to sustain the Pentagon’s decision to close Vint Hill Farms Station in eastern Fauquier. The BRAC decision means the loss of the county’s largest employer, a base where 1,867 military and civilian personnel work, and generates some $75 million annually, much of which is spent in Fauquier and Prince William counties.

The Town of Blacksburg: An idea for Fauquier County The Town of Blacksburg recently conducted a public hearing for rezoning to develop the old Blacksburg Middle School property on Main Street in mid-town. One hundred people attended the hearing; it was standing-room only. Developers requested rezoning to allow commercial, residential, and civic uses of the property, including a new library. Mr. Karim Kahn, library director, said a 2016 feasibility study showed the 1995 mechanical systems are at the end of their life and residents recognize a better library would strengthen its role in the community. Apartments, condos, townhouses, and library are included in the development plan which will increase foot traffic and benefit mid-town businesses. Blacksburg

will become a walking town. My understanding is that Fauquier plans to replace at least one or two middle schools in Warrenton. These properties are high-valued real estate. Is it possible that Fauquier could sell one or more properties for suitable development and use the proceeds to build an adequate library? Our current library is antiquated. The current building has inadequate shelf space for library materials. Additionally, more space is required to accommodate special activities such as programs to serve young children. Wouldn’t it be a significant asset for Warrenton to become a walking town and increase revenue for our downtown businesses?

Middleburg Montessori School would like to thank Artists in Middleburg (AiM) and local artist Anthony Barham for bringing art classes to the elementary students of MMS. From January through May, Mr. Barham and AiM have spent a few afternoons a month painting and drawing with MMS elementary students. While Montessori students regularly engage in the arts throughout their school day, this was a special opportunity to learn from a professional artist. Mr. Barham taught the students a range of skills including the value of sketching, planning an artwork, mixing colors, and applying them to the canvas. In support of Art of the Piedmont, a benefit art auction for MMS, Mr. Barham helped students create

special paintings which were sold during the auction. The instruction continued into the spring as the children worked with gouache to create fox paintings for the AiM student show in April that included work from students at Claude Thompson Elementary and Foxcroft School. In May, Anthony and AiM have helped elementary students create the backdrops for their end of year program, a student adaptation of the musical “Annie.” MMS is so thankful to have an organization like AiM, as well as generous and talented local artists, such as Mr. Barham, promoting art education. We look forward to continuing this partnership for years to come.

I read with great interest your recent editorial titled “My name is Virginia, and I have a voter turnout problem.” Our right to choose those who will govern us is a priceless gift. It was bought and paid for by the blood of many brave people. As Mr. Thomas Jefferson reminded us, governments derive their power through the consent of the governed. The consent that Mr. Jefferson refers to is free and open elections.

All of us need to take the time to: 1. Study the issues. 2. Know our candidates and 3. Go to the polls and vote. Doing this is part of being an American citizen. Since I have been eligible to vote, I have only missed one election. As my southern friends would say, “Y’all come on down to the voting booth.”

Robert H. Wright Jr. Warrenton

Executive order is a lie

On June 20, President Trump signed an executive order supposedly halting the separation of immigrant children from their parents. This may seem a victory, but it is a cynical lie. Foremost, this order will not do what Trump claims. The order allows families to stay together, but only within detention facilities. The order does not override a 1993 Supreme Court case that says children can only be detained for 20 days. So many immigrants are being detained and the courts are so overwhelmed it is certain these families will not be processed within 20 days. The children will still be taken from their parents. Second, this administration leans heavily on an avowed belief in the rule of law, yet applies laws haphazardly. It is weaponizing the law to punish only certain offenses while

ignoring other serious violations of the law Illegal border crossings are a misdemeanor for first-time offenders. The punishment is beyond the pale, constituting cruel and unusual punishment, violating the Eighth Amendment. Lying on your SF-86 is a felony, yet Jared Kushner has suffered no legal consequence. Both facts are damning for an administration that claims to be obsessed with the constitution and law and order. The media is having difficulty talking about this. They use soft words like “misleading,” “untrue” or even “false.” These words are not direct enough to capture the deep cynicism at work. They are lies, told by liars.

So, this is where we are. I have always thought of myself as a good patriotic American. I am committed to living under the legal structure of a constitutional republic where every citizen may enjoy the freedom to live their lives as they see fit in accordance with the laws of the land. I go to work, pay my taxes, vote, and endeavor to treat my fellow citizens, even those with whom I disagree, with respect and tolerance. Nothing special, just an everyday citizen. Imagine my surprise when upon opening the Opinion section of the Times I discovered that I’m a Nazi. Yes, one of those evil people who tried to take over the world and kill everyone they didn’t like. This was something of a revelation. I immediately examined my life to find traces of Nazism. Is it my 20

years of active duty in the military? Is it my annoying environmentalism? Is it my respect for law enforcement and our legal system? No, apparently I’m a Nazi for listening to southern rock, and displaying the Confederate battle flag to honor my southern heritage and ancestry. This is the assertion of a letter to the Times. I wonder if the writer actually knows the history of the Nazis, and who they were, or if she just throws insulting names at anyone with whom she disagrees with or opposes politically. We now live in a country where people are embracing intolerance and hate in order to accuse political opponents of intolerance and hate. This is where we are.

As chair of the board for Experience Old Town Warrenton, the safekeepers of Warrenton’s Virginia Main Street accreditation, I thank Town Council for their commitment to our town with their investment in Experience Old Town Warrenton. After the 2016 community forum regarding the future of old town where over 100 concerned residents business owners and other stakeholders packed the parish hall at First Baptist Church on a hot August night, our mayor, council members and town manager made a commitment to the economic vitality of Warrenton and old town by tasking a group of leaders to reboot our Main Street organization. We assembled a group of the most committed and prominent members of our community and business execu-

tives to undertake this effort. At their urging, this group dived in head-first and has already made huge strides in preserving and extending the Main Street brand – and the greater Warrenton brand. From the beautiful flower baskets lining Main Street, 1st Fridays and GumDrop Square and the upcoming First Annual Warrenton Restaurant Week are just a sample of what Experience Old Town Warrenton brings to our town. We are proud to announce four new businesses coming to Old Town with a few more in the works in large part due to the success of our organization. On behalf of our board of directors, property owners, merchants, business leaders, residents, visitors and all of those in the town and county dependent on commerce, thank you, council, for your support. You have our commitment that we will be wise financial stewards of this funding and will demonstrate a strong return on your investment for the betterment of our whole community.

This is where we are

Dr. Sandra (Sandy) Sue Bradley Wilson Dr. Sandra (Sandy) Sue Bradley Wilson passed away June 4, 2018 at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. at the age of 77 from medical complications while being treated for cancer. She attended Texas Women’s University and then graduated from Oklahoma State University as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1964. She was a trailblazer for her time. She was one of three women in her vet class and she was a role model for small business entrepreneurs and working mothers long before that was common. When asked during her vet school interview why they should give her a placement when “she would just quit when she had babies”, she retorted “do you think I would go through all this if I was going to quit?” And she never did. She ran Old Dominion Small Animal Clinic, a solo veterinary practice in Warrenton, Virginia and was a beloved practitioner and member of that community from 1967 until her retirement in 1999. In addition to her career, her passions included gardening, reading, and spending time on her farm with horses. She and her husband bought their first Arabian in 1975 and owned and bred Egyptian Arabians until her death. She was never happier than when working with horses or reading a book about horses. A west Texas native, she lived in Virginia and North Carolina until her death but never forgot her love of Texas sunsets or cowboys. She was fiercely loyal, always questioning, and deeply interested in sharing her views on everything from politics to food. Sandy died like she lived – fighting until the end and always with the last word. She died peacefully with her daughters by her side. She is survived by her brother, Edward R. Bradley of Amarillo, TX, her daughters Sara J Wilson of Bellingham, WA and Kate H Wilson of Bethesda, MD, her son-in-law Andy Carothers and her grandsons Jac and Ewan Carothers. She is predeceased in death by her husband, Jerry A. Wilson. A private graveside service was held in Memphis, TN on June 9, 2018. The family will be holding a celebration of life event on July 15, 2018 from 1:00-4:00 pm at the Airlie Center Smokehouse in Warrenton, VA. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for contributions to one of her desired charities. Contributions may be made payable to OSU Foundation, Class of 1964 Endowed Scholarship #28-96900 and sent directly to OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, Attn: Sharon R. Worrell, 308 McElroy Hall, Stillwater, OK 74078 or to The National Multiple Sclerosis Society.” Arrangements were by Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton.

Beatrice “Bea” Ann Coppage Anderson Beatrice “Bea” Ann Coppage Anderson, age 78 and resident of Culpeper, Virginia passed away on June 19, 2018. Bea grew up on farms around the foothills of her beloved Blue Ridge Mountains. She met and married her husband of over 55 years in Warrenton, Virginia. They were married in the Warrenton Baptist Church, and their two children went on to be married there as well. Later in life she was an active member of 1st Century Baptist Church in Culpeper, VA. She traveled the world including two tours in Germany while her husband was serving in the U.S. Army. Beatrice loved to cook and her carrot cake is legendary among her children and grandchildren to this day. During her travels she enjoyed collecting clocks, teacups, and interesting figurines.

A CASE OF UNDENIABLE TALENT

Star quarterback, wrestler was slam dunk choice as Cougar Athlete of Year By Jeff Malmgren

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

As a leader of Kettle Run’s football team, Casen Chumley tried to provide a stable presence on the field by regulating the volatile emotions of an intense sport. The hallways of his school helped by expelling his anxiety before games. Prior to commanding the Cougars each game, the senior quarterback often spent a few minutes sprinting through the Kettle Run corridors. “After that, my nerves would be out,” he said. The unique routine bred rare results. The strong-armed lefty graduated as the most prolific passer in Kettle Run history by breaking at least five records as a senior while leading the Cougars to a 9-3 record with their first playoff victory since 2013. That, combined with his unparalleled success as a wrestler and his ambition as a baseball player, made Chumley the Fauquier Times 2018 Kettle Run Boys Athlete of the Year. “It was really awesome to watch his hard work pay off,” Cougars football coach Charlie Porterfield said. “I’m lucky I got to watch him succeed.” Chumley graduated as Kettle Run’s career leader with 39 touchdown passes and 4,140 passing yards while setting single-season records by throwing for 2,012 yards and 26 touchdowns in 2017 with a single-game record of five

quarterback. “My biggest goal, I would always tell Coach Porterfield, was just to be remembered,” said Chumley, an 18-year-old Warrenton resident. “So I think setting those records is one of those ways that will do it.” Yet his favorite accomplishment wasn’t the ample touchdown or yard totals. “The best record is just the 9-3; the overall thing for the team,” Chumley said. “It was awesome because we really turned our record around.” The Cougars finished the 2016 and 2015 seasons with 3-7 records, but they tripled their win total in 2017.

Charlie Porterfield has a 3-year-old video on his phone from one of his first days as Kettle Run’s head coach. It shows a sophomore quarterback throwing a football with one arm despite the other arm resting in a sling thanks to a broken collarbone. That was Porterfield’s introduction to Casen Chumley. “But I look at the kid in that video, and see him now. He’s changed leaps and bounds for the better, and he was already a phenomenal kid,” Porterfield said. “To grow and build the confidence he has now … was really phenomenal.” Since their first meeting, Chumley improved his touch on deep throws, increased his velocity on shorter throws, developed a better pocket presence and boosted his running speed. Perhaps more importantly, though, he developed as a leader. “One of the best natural leaders I’ve ever been around,” Porterfield said. “It certainly made my job easier. “Being a quarterback is a special kind of unique position,” Porterfield said. “You have to be humble enough

The Chumley File

Family: Father, Josh, is retired from the Air Force. Mother, Angie, works in day care. Brother Chance, 23, is a 2014 Kettle Run graduate in the Air Force. Brother Gabe, 17, is a Kettle Run rising senior football quarterback and wrestler. Brother Elijah, 15, is a Kettle Run rising junior football quarterback and wrestler. Brother Abram, 13, is an Auburn Middle School athlete. Sister, Gracie, 11, is an Auburn Middle rising sixth grader. Brother Sebastian, 10, is a Greenville Elementary athlete. Brothers’ bond: “Something I loved about this wrestling season was I really became close with my brothers Gabriel and Elijah. … The biggest accomplishment for me was just that bond that I got with Gabe [as a practice room partner], and the same thing with Elijah.” Favorite restaurant: IHOP. “Just because of all the memories I’ve had in it with the family, or after all of our home games we’d go there” as a football team.

to have people follow you, but you’re also kind of running the show.” Chumley had plenty of time to find that balance while playing quarterback since he began the sport as a 7-yearold living in Colorado. The Chumley family later moved to Virginia when his father’s Air Force career required a relocation. Living in a military household helped foster Casen Chumley’s leadership skills and pushed him toward the role of quarterback. His father, Josh, also played that position as a youth. “He’s always taught us to lead from the front and to never be a follower,” Chumley said. My dad’s definitely been a huge part in everything I’ve done.” Chumley made a conscious effort to be more vocal as a senior. See CHUMLEY, Page 16

Joe Harrington, a long-time Division I college basketball coach and former head coach at Wakefield School in The Plains, has formed a new nonprofit sports organization based in Fauquier County called Synergy All Sports (SAS), with a goal of training young athletes in a number of sports. Basketball will be the initial main focus, beginning with a five-day camp for boys and girls at Fauquier High School running July 30 to August 3. A development camp will include rising third to seventh graders, with an elite camp for rising eighth to 12th graders. Harrington, who played college basketball at the University of Maryland in the 1960s, has been a head basketball coach at Hofstra, George Mason, Long Beach State and the University of Colorado. He’s served as an assistant to both Lefty Driesell and Gary Williams (his former Terrapin teammate) at Maryland and has been an assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association. “There’s a need for a quality youth basketball program in Fauquier and surrounding counties,” said Harrington, who now lives near Marshall. “SAS will offer programs for the recreational player to the more serious players that want to make their high [school] teams and go on the play in college. My dream is to have one of players make it to the WNBA or NBA.” Harrington said he’s also planning to eventually offer recreational teams, travel teams, AAU teams, individual and group training, tournaments, fall and spring leagues, summer camps and weekend shooting clinics. He also hopes to add training for boys and girls in volleyball, softball and other sports. “This area has great basketball potential,” he said. “Why should a local kid have to go to Rich-

Special to the Times

Katie MacMahon had a smile that shined bright for Kettle Run’s field hockey and girls lacrosse teams. “On the field you don’t want to get in her way, but at practice and in school she likes to have fun,” said Kettle Run lacrosse coach Joanie DeGoosh. “She works hard and has always worked hard, but she has fun doing it. She is one of the girls I am going to miss having around because she is just fun.” MacMahon’s undeniable zest for life, combined with her uncanny ability to defend in two sports, made her the 2018 Fauquier Times Kettle Run Girls Athlete of the Year. MacMahon was the Region 4B Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Year. The daughter of a coach, she started playing lacrosse at early age, including throwing balls to the dogs. “On my dad’s side of the family everyone played lacrosse, so growing up we always had a stick in our hands,” MacMahon said. “It just became natural to start playing. I played a lot of sports when I was little but stuck with lacrosse. It was more fun.” Her second stick sport came after some parental nudging. “My dad told me I had to do a fall sport so it came down to cross county or field hockey. I didn’t like running without a purpose,” MacMahon said, laughing. “That got me into field hockey.” Although she had offensive skills in lacrosse, MacMahon found a place in both her sports as a defender. “I always thought I was going to play offense, but when high school came around they realized in field hockey that I actually had more of a defensive mindset,” MacMahon said. “When lacrosse came around we needed more defenders and since I had done it in field hockey I figured I would do it again for the team.” “Katie is a very strong defender and can play anywhere,” DeGoosh

ly comedy, MacMahon always took it upon herself to spread laughter. “Katie is really easy going and doesn’t let things get her down,” Todd said. “She is funny and keeps everybody up. When everyone is having a good time everybody wants to be there and Katie makes that happen.”

Katie MacMahon helped Kettle Run win a region title in lacrosse and also flashed leadership and stick skills in field hockey. The 2018 Fauquier Times Kettle Run Girls Athlete of the Year is choosing between attending the Savannah College of Art and Design or Roanoke College. said. “She can get the ball and go from one end of the field to the other. She accepted that role as a leader on defense and the knowledge she has shared with the younger girls has been tremendous. She can relay messages differently from the way myself or other coaches can say it. It helped make everybody stronger.” Because of her advanced skills, MacMahon had permission from both coaches to play freely.

“Katie was our defensive captain,” said field hockey coach Elizabeth Todd. “She is really athletic. She surprises you because she seems very relaxed and calm but then she will sneak in a jab and steal the ball. I can’t teach people to do what she does. I wouldn’t teach my other players to do what she does because they couldn’t.” MacMahon’s leadership also drew praise. A connoisseur of film, particular-

Chumley also flipped foes on the mat CHUMLEY, from Page 14 “Being able to step out and get loud when I needed to, and not worry about what people are thinking about me,” he said. “That’s something I really struggled with in the past.” Chumley had a similar role with Kettle Run’s wrestling team. Head coach Mike Foy looked to him for leadership as the Cougars’ lone senior starter. “He meant the world to the team,” Foy said. “If somebody’s not having the success he had, he’s good about going up to them and keeping them going, and motivating them. “He always had a positive attitude,” the coach said, “which isn’t easy because sometimes wrestling can be miserable.”

Athletic addition

Casen Chumley graduated as a three-sport athlete, but that diversity developed late. He entered Kettle Run as simply a freshman football player before adding wrestling to his schedule as a sophomore and baseball as a senior. Chumley hadn’t played any competitive baseball since his introduction to the sport as an 8-year-old T-ball player. “Wanted to say I gave it a shot,” Chumley said. “I wasn’t the best baseball player, but I enjoyed being with everybody on the team.” He served mostly as a pinch runner after missing the first few weeks of the season with a sprained ankle. “Casen is a great kid, works hard and was just happy to be part of the team,” Cougars coach Ty Thorpe said.

Chumley achieved much more during the winter sports season. He graduated as one of the most decorated wrestlers in Kettle Run history. As a senior, in Class 4, he won a

It wasn’t always easy for MacMahon to keep a smile on her face at Kettle Run. The unexpected and tragic loss of her older brother Jamie, 18, during fall of her junior year in 2016, and her father’s cancer diagnosis during her senior year of lacrosse, brought uncertainty to her athletic career. “He (Jamie) passed away on a Tuesday and I decided to come to our field hockey game on Thursday,” MacMahon said. “I realized if I was sitting home alone I wasn’t accomplishing anything. When I went to the field and got the hugs it felt a lot better. I was questioning if it was going to be my last year of sports. I decided that I deserved to have fun and stuck with it. “It brought a family together.” MacMahon channeled her life experiences in a positive way. “I think I had the ability to lead to start with. But after the tragedy I think it came out more,” MacMahon said. “I really wanted to help people and didn’t want anyone to ever feel alone. I’d make sure to help anyone See MACMAHON, Page 17 Northwestern District championship and a Region C title before finishing as a state runner-up at 182 pounds. “That’s a very rare resume,” Foy said. “That’s very hard to accomplish for kids that have wrestled 10 years.” Chumley graduated with a 96-35 career record after going 35-5 as a senior. “Sometimes wrestling is just about refusing to lose,” Foy said. “Casen was that guy. Sometimes he wasn’t the best wrestler on the mat … but he would just power his way through. Chumley upset top-seeded Franco Camarca of Fauquier during the district title match, 4-2, by rallying from a 2-1 deficit with the winning takedown during the final five seconds of the third period. “He just had a will to win, and that made him unique and special,” Porterfield said Chumley’s tenure as a Kettle Run wrestler and football player. “He always found a way to get it done.”

99 YEARS YOUNG

Venerable Warrenton Pony Show runs all week through Sunday By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

The show may be old enough to qualify for Social Security two times over, but the average age of the organizing committee is barely out of junior high. The only junior-run show in the nation, and also the oldest, the 99th annual Warrenton Pony Show runs this week, June 29-July 3, at the historic Warrenton Horse Show grounds on Shirley Avenue. Classes started Wednesday morning and run all day, every day, through Sunday. Show proceeds benefit the Fauquier SPCA. The junior committee will make a special presentation to the shelter during the show. The junior committee operates under the supervision of a senior board of volunteer directors and of longtime show manager Tommy Lee Jones. The junior committee includes co-presidents Blake Bogin, Hailey Gunnell and Helen Lohr, vice-presidents Jude Schmidt, Katie Solomons and Kayla Wolfe, show secretaries Susannah Gerhardt and Caroline

Lights, camera, Katie MACMAHON, from Page 16 that was having a bad day. We really bonded as a team and I will be friends with these girls for the rest of my life.” MacMahon provided friendship and advice to some freshmen. Haley Van Voorhis later praised MacMahon in a team meeting. “I knew Haley needed help getting out there and communicating,” MacMahon said. “So I reached out to her in the halls and everywhere to say ‘Hi’, to make her have a conversation and help her come out of her shell.” Her father, Steve, is recovering from cancer, which is great news in the MacMahon house, and may allow Katie to attend one of her firstchoice colleges. “I love film. My dad, who has been a great influence in my life did act for a bit. He had some roles in commercials and as an extra in movies. I thought the stories were so cool. I just love watching TV shows that make me laugh. I want to make other people laugh and be happy.” She is considering Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Her father’s illness made her lean towards being closer to home and attending Roanoke College, but dad’s recent recovery brought SCAD back into the mix. She is also interested in playing lacrosse. “Katie can survive anything, and whatever Katie sets her mind to she can accomplish. She is a strong young lady and yet very grounded,” said DeGoosh.

Family fun that doesn’t cost a fortune Staff Reports Parents know summer can be expensive. Summer camps and day camps take a bite out of families’ budgets and are usually scheduled sparingly, leaving lots of empty hours to fill. Fortunately, our community is full of fun things to do for families and kids, many of which are free – or nearly so. To help parents fend off the summer doldrums, we compiled a list of opportunities for family adventures that are both local and low-cost. Have an idea to share that you don’t see listed here? Look for this list on our Fauquier Times Facebook page and add your ideas in the comments.

Cheap thrills… PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

See a movie:

Many local spots offer free outdoor movie screenings in the summer. And while not free, several movie theaters also offer low-cost showings of family-friendly films during the summer months. Here’s our list of where to find movies for free, or almost free, this summer:

Visit www.amctheatres.com/summer-movie-camp for a full schedule and details.

Go outside:

Local parks are great for exploring, hiking, picnicking and even a paddle boating or fishing – all for little to no cost. Some favorites:

C.M. Crockett Park

C.M. Crockett Park, 10066 Rogues Road in Midland, is Fauquier County’s largest lakeside park, offering fishing, boat rentals, concessions, picnic shelters, volleyball, horseshoes, beginner and advanced orienteering courses and a nature trail through 1 mile of woods. Rent a canoe for $6, a paddle boat for $10 and a paddle boat with a canopy for $12. Entrance is free for Fauquier vehicles, $7 for those who live outside the county. Park is open from dawn to dusk.

Sky Meadows State Park

Sky Meadows State Park, 11012 Edmonds Lane in Delaplane, is rich in history and scenic views as well as wild chickens. The park preserves

a historic farm that captures the colonial through post-Civil War life of the Crooked Run Valley. Nature and history programs are offered yearround. The park has 10.5 miles of bridle trails, 22 miles of hiking trails, 9 miles of bike trails and a chance to hike a stretch of the Appalachian Trail. The whole family gets in for $5.

Learn about history:

Yes, Virginia and Washington, D.C., are chock full of museums, historical homes and monuments. But you don’t have to travel too far or pay too much to help kids learn about people who lived a century ago – or more. A few events and places to check out:

The Gold Mining Camp Museum at Monroe Park

Fauquier County’s Monroe Park, 14421 Gold Dust Parkway in Goldvein, is the home of the official gold mining interpretive center for the commonwealth of Virginia, the state’s only museum dedicated to the history of gold and gold mining. The museum is a compound of buildings outfitted to demonstrate how gold miners lived in 1830s and 1840s, when approximately 19 gold mines operated in the Morrisville/Goldvein/Sumerduck area. Free gold panning demonstrations are held Wednesdays through Sundays at 2 p.m. and at 10 a.m. on Saturdays.

ucation. Small community schools, such as Number 18, dotted the state. An open house, June 30 from 1 to 3 p.m., is a chance to take a guided tour and see pictures and artifacts that help tell the story of schooling in Fauquier County from 1887 to 1964. A bonus during summer visits are the beautiful gardens maintained by the Fauquier Master Gardeners.

Take a dip:

Most kids love going to the pool. Fauquier has one outdoor pool open to the public for a daily admission of $5.50 for ages 12 to 59; $4.50 for kids 2 to 11 and free for those over 60 and under 2. See CHEAP THRILLS, Page 21

How stress affects your child and how you can help What if your child’s brain cells were being eaten away? What if you notice that he’s been having trouble learning new things or having difficulty with his memory? Has he started talking excessively? Is he constantly fidgety? Is he complaining of feeling like bugs are crawling all over his skin? Does he have headaches? Is his heart pumping fast? Is he having stomachaches, constipation, diarrhea? All these can be signs of stress toxification. A small amount of adrenaline and cortisol can be beneficial. Cortisol can regulate blood pressure, manage glucose levels and enhance the immune system. Adrenaline, in small, temporary doses, can increase memory and alertness as well as improve brain function. The problem comes when kids are under constant stress, experiencing too many demands and pressures with no safe place to decompress. Chronic stress causes a constant flow of what are supposed to be “health-aiding hormones” to become toxic. Instead of short bursts of energy and improved memory and immune function, they can turn on your child and cause a variety of negative symptoms as mentioned above, leading to serious illness.

What can you do as a parent?

The very first and most important thing a parent can do is to set a healthy example. With all the negativity lately on the news and social media, there is much reactivity and anger being flung about. Your child is

MARIANNE CLYDE watching and absorbing your energy as well as learning how you respond to stress. Kids learn by watching and experiencing. Stress and negative energy are contagious. So the first thing you can do is be aware of your own responses. Remember there are no wrong feelings, but there are plenty of unhealthy behaviors in the expression of those feelings. Be able to admit when you are feeling angry, scared and threatened. Recognize that stress hormones are being released in you and must be released -- not by yelling and cursing and threatening, (because that only multiplies the problem, releasing more stress hormones) but by taking a deep breath, detaching from excess drama and looking for constructive solutions. Physical exercise is also vital for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Learn to take a walk when you are frustrated; go outside; breathe some fresh air. Distract yourself with something fun. Laughter is a great way of releasing stress. Drink plenty of water as it flushes toxins from your body. Main-

tain a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables. Minimize alcohol use. When you are able to maintain your calm, you are in a better position to help your child work through the stress. You will find that it’s easier to meet your child’s anger, hurt, frustration with a calm and loving response when you are calm and relaxed. Help him talk through what is bothering him rather than yelling at him to knock it off. Kids are always communicating, but they don’t have the words to describe complex concepts and confusing emotions. They need you to walk them through it and teach them in a loving way. One of the best predictors of success for children is a healthy fami-

Cruising with children with autism Planning for a vacation can be stressful. Traveling with children with special needs, even more so. What kind of vacation would you take if you knew there were more options available to you? A vacation is meant to be a time of fun, relaxation and memory-making, however the stress of just getting there can make some not even want to travel. So, how do you achieve this vacation, and what are your options? When taking a cruise with children, the No. 1 question is: “What kinds of kids’ programs does the cruise line offer?” People automatically assume only Disney offers top-notch kids’ programs. While it’s true that Disney knows what it’s doing when it comes to kids, they are not the only option. In fact, the top five cruise lines with the best kids’ programs are: Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Princess and Carnival. But if your child has autism or spe-

ALESIA HOUSE cial needs, Royal Caribbean is going to be your “go-to” cruise line. They are the leaders in offering special programs just for you and your family. All staff members of their Adventure Ocean kids program have autism-awareness training that covers topics such as: characteristics of autism and development; disabilities and communication tactics, such as person-first language, terms and skills to initiate a conversation with a parent about his or her child’s needs. Royal Caribbean has made the investment

to ensure families of autistic children have a vacation they can remember. What can Royal Caribbean offer families of autistic children? • Priority check-in, boarding and departure: Anyone familiar with cruising with small children knows the check-in, boarding and departure procedures are stressful times. A child with autism is not going to have the ability to wait in line in a crowded environment. When booking, ask for priority check-in to help things go smoothly. • Special dietary accommodations: This includes gluten-free and dairy-free options. Giving the cruise line advanced notice of your child’s dietary needs can give you peace of mind that your child will have foods that work for them. • Autism-friendly toy-lending: Autism toy-lending is available in their Adventure Ocean Programs

sell freezer beef, so U.S. cattle prices do have a direct impact on us.”

Contributing Writer

Dennis Pearson had just finished yet another long, sweltering summer day cutting hay. “Got to make hay while the sun shines,” Pearson, owner of Soldiers’ Hill Angus Farm in Warrenton, said recently. He’s been in the business of raising Angus for 30 years. It began as a source of extra income while he worked as a contracting officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and, later, taught agriculture at Fauquier High School. “After 35 years of outside employment and all the while building my farm,” he said, “I went into farming full time a year ago.” Pearson, 59, began with basic, affordable equipment, such as small used tractors with 6-foot mowers allowing him to mow about 50 acres in two weeks’ time. “As the cows started making money, I was able to update to more modern equipment,” he said. “I learned of the efficiencies gained from larger equipment. And, if I was going to fight the long days it takes to be successful, I needed to be alert and comfortable.” Pearson now rides in a 2014 John Deere 6125r (125-horse power) complete with cab, AC, radio and Bluetooth. “Now, I can mow 50 acres in a day,” he added.

Weathering the market A lazy summer afternoon for the Angus.

Counting cows

Pearson breeds, raises and sells Angus cattle. He utilizes modern genetics of artificial insemination and embryo-transplant to produce seed stock (breeding cattle) for commercial cattlemen. He has 120 to 130 Angus and raises about 55 calves each year. He sells the bulls for breeding as well as replacement females and an occasional heifer for a youth project. He also sells beef to local customers. Pearson has a soft spot for youth projects because in 1972 he made

his first purchase of a heifer from the well-known Rucker family cattle operation of Hill Crest Farm in Delaplane. He went on to study at Virginia Tech while also helping his father, Harvey Pearson, with a small herd. Harvey Pearson served as Fauquier County Clerk for 40 years. It’s been uphill since then with an occasional slump recently, Pearson said. “When times are good in the cattle market, times are good for us,” he said, referring to the price fluctuations of the past few years. “We also

A “perfect storm” occurred in 2014 as the U.S. inventory of cattle was at an all-time low due to herd liquidation, coupled with several years of drought in major cattle production areas such as Texas and Oklahoma, Pearson said. “This also came at a time when U.S. exports were in a big demand and cattle prices were more than doubled what they are today,” he said.

Making hay and raising cattle ANGUS, from Page 23 Cattlemen were selling their product (feeder cattle, slaughter cattle and cull cows) at prices they had never experienced and had more disposable income. “Facilities were updated,” Pearson said. “New equipment was purchased, and seed stock was also updated. For producers such as ourselves, 2013 to 2015 were very good years.” Since 2015, however, the U.S. herd inventory has increased at the same time as American exports have decreased. Cattle prices have responded accordingly. A 500-pound steer (a weaned calf) in 2014 was bringing $1,300 to $1,500 depending on quality. Today, that same calf will sell for $750 to $800--half of what they brought just a few years earlier. At the same time, the costs of fuel, fertilizer, feed, labor and taxes have increased.

Through it all, Pearson has served on the Virginia Angus Board of Directors and has been a longtime board member and past president of the Northern Virginia Angus Association. He’s on the Virginia Beef Industry Council and is a member of the Virginia Cattlemen’s Association’s Policy Board. He’s also on the board of directors for the Fauquier County Farm Bureau and Fauquier Livestock Exchange.

It’s hay season at Soldiers’ Hill.

At Soldiers’ Hill, Pearson uses a solar-powered pump to fill four troughs. Part of the main farm is on

the banks of Great Run, which flows into the Rappahannock River. “All of it is fenced to keep the cattle out of the water,” he said on a YouTube video he produced. “We’re very concerned about water quality and make sure it’s clean as could be.” Back on the fancy tractor with Bluetooth and AC, approximately 30 percent of Pearson’s income comes

from hay. He farms 120 acres for Orchard grass hay, which is sold mostly for horses in square and round bales. The rest is used for the cattle. All the cattle are fed on grass and hay with only an occasional supplement of feed. Focusing on cattle or hay from sunup to sundown, Pearson said: “We want to sell the most wholesome product.”

After a D.C. career, Meg Mullery finds a new mission in real estate By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Meg Mullery has spent most of her career in Washington D.C., leading a fast-paced life in the swirl of politics, media relations and international trade. “But,” she said, “I was one of those people who always read the real estate section, visited open houses and had some luck buying and selling my own homes in D.C. and Virginia.” Her long-term goal was to get into the real estate profession. She also made that a life-changing priority after the September 2013, shooting incident in Building 197 at the Navy Yard, where she was a worked at the time as a government contractor. “Fortunately I was at an off-site meeting that day,” Mullery recalled. “The building was closed for two years, and my job was abolished. I lost my job, but some co-workers lost their lives. I was lucky.” Mullery found her way to Middleburg, the land of wide-open spaces, horses and opportunities, to find her niche in real estate. She got her license from the commonwealth of Virginia in 2014 and now lives on a small property near the Middleburg Training Track where she has two retired horses. An agent with Washington Fine Properties, Mullery works out of its Marshall and Middleburg offices. She appreciates the branding and agent-centric support with WFP, which covers D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland. Her partner is Anne Michael Greene, an associate broker. When asked about the challenges of her work, Mullery said: “The most difficult part is staying on top of every transaction and ensuring that the buyer or seller is served to the best of my ability and closing is on time and drama-free.”

Meg Mullery of Washington Fine Properties said she “enjoys working with people who are buying or selling horse properties. I have two retired horses at home and appreciate the unique aspects of caring for horses.” She said many real estate transactions are “complex and require a skill set that includes knowledge of real estate law, negotiating skills, marketing and reliable vendors.” Mullery recounted a lighter moment when she recently took prospective buyers into a lovely

SOLD

home she had listed in Marshall. “There was the dearest little bluebird that somehow made it into the house and was in the kitchen,” she said. “I was able to capture the bluebird with my hands and told the buyers that this was an omen. It was the bluebird of happiness and they should make an offer. They didn’t buy the omen story or the house. But a happy ending: The bluebird was released back into the trees, and we did get an offer from other buyers the following weekend.” Mullery has sold properties from $60,000 for several acres of land to $1 million-plus for estate homes. “We’ve seen an uptick in buyers looking for weekend retreats, hobby farms, or even fulltime homes,” she said. Mullery and Greene currently have a 70-acre spread on Enon School Road near Marshall. Listed at $699,000, it includes an 1840s log cabin (that is waiting for updates) on what was once a working family farm and would now be a perfect hunting preserve or a new home site. The original log structure has been preserved with thoughtful additions and renovations. The two-story cabin offers three bedrooms, one bath, a breakfast nook, dining room, library, and bonus rooms. Many of the original interior details have been preserved, including fireplaces. Finally, this interesting tidbit from Mullery: “This property has a storied past. It was once home to the largest liquor still in the county and was used as a weekend poker/hunting/drinking cabin by a group of Warrenton businessmen.”

‘Bringing the world to The Plains,’ say excited Nations Cup organizers

Essentially a horse triathlon, eventing series returns to Fauquier for third time

Canada and Great Britain will field four-rider teams in the FEI eventing Nations Cup, fifth in a series of eight elite events worldwide. Two riders from Australia will ride as individuals.

By Betsy Burke Parker

Admission is free on Friday, July 6. Spectators can watch the first veterinary inspection – called “the jog,” starting at 3 p.m. The Meadow Market Trade Show opens at 4 p.m., and several demonstration dressage tests starting at 4:30 p.m. Competitors will sign autographs and pose for photos at 5:30 p.m, with a special celebrity polo match at 6 p.m. Dressage starts at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning. A fun, new shopping opportunity called the “Drag Break Deals” will begin every time there’s a break in the action while maintenance crews harrow the dressage arena. Meadow Market vendors will announce special, very shortterm deals during drag breaks. Spectators are invited to join Olympic veteran Jim Wofford for a public cross-country course walk at 3 p.m. Saturday, with show jumping to start at 5:10 p.m. The Orange County Hounds open the cross-country course Sunday at 9 a.m., with the first horse out of the start box at 9:30 a.m. Awards are expected at 1:20 p.m. More than 30,000 attended last year’s event, and this year’s gate is expected to increase. Great Meadow regularly manages crowds of

Special to the Times

The stars will be out in The Plains for the $30,000 Brook Ledge Great Meadow International horse trials and World Equestrian prep. Fifty championship-level horse-and-rider pairs are due to compete July 6-8. An advanced-level international horse trials – CIC***, runs concurrently with the Nations Cup team competition – CICO***. In addition to world-class eventing, the Meadow Market vendors’ row this year includes live music concerts, and a wine and beer garden as well as food trucks, other dining options and more than 50 shops. New this year too are mini-lectures and seminars at some of the vendor tents. Olympic veteran, event co-organizer and a resident of The Plains, David O’Connor called the varied offerings “almost like ‘date night.’” “The nice thing about having a place like this is that it created atmosphere,” said O’Connor. “The atmosphere here with the community support. Great Meadow International has become a summer destination on the eventing calendar for competitors, owners and spectators.” Riders had to qualify for entry, and each will compete as an individual. Additionally, the U.S.,

The U.S. team won Nations Cup gold last year, and is favored over the Canadian and British squads competing next week.

Eventing, 101: The short version This equestrian discipline consists of three phases. The first is dressage, an elegant pattern performed on the flat, scored based on required movements. Show jumping, in an arena over light poles, measures agility and accuracy. Points are lost for knocked rails and slow rounds. Cross-country is across open terrain, at the top level several miles over solid obstacles. There may be Supplement to the Fauquier Times, published by Piedmont Media.

water hazards, ditches, banks and combinations, with penalties for refusals and for exceeding the set time. The rider with the lowest penalty score wins. Also known as combined training and horse trials, levels range from introductory – walk-trot dressage test and ground poles as “jumps,” to the three-star and four-star advanced level at Olympic height.

To understand event history, look to the cavalry Scoring has gone through convoluted changes – Wofford By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Two equestrian events – chariot and mounted races – were included in the ancient Olympic Games from 776 B.C.E. to 393 C.E., though it wasn’t until Stockholm 1912, that the pre-cursor to next week’s Great Meadow International – the “military” – was conceived. With roots linked to horse-mounted cavalry, the three-phase event was based on military tradition. Until 1948, only male cavalry members were allowed to compete, and only over the last 30 years have female riders outstripped men in numbers of competitors. The military event, then as now, included three phases. The dressage test is a program ride in an arena simulating the elegance and obedience required from a cavalry horse on the parade and review grounds. It tests intricate control and communication required between rider to horse to perform precision maneuvers in the close quarters of battle. Day two was speed and endurance day, originally five phases, then four. Today it is cross-country jumping, but it has always tested a horse’s bravery, speed and stamina. The test simulates the task of delivering a

Lt. John ‘Gyp’ Wofford was in full military uniform showing Babe Wartham in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. Gyp Wofford founded the U.S. Equestrian Team, and his three sons -- Jeb, Warren and Jim, were also Olympic riders. Upperville resident Jim Wofford says the original eventing format, designed to test the cavalry mount, was a more complete measurement of a horse’s skills. courier message across enemy lines. The final test is show jumping over a course of light rails in an arena. The event verifies a cavalry horse’s correct jumping style measured after the arduous test of endurance the day before. Subjective scores in dressage are converted to penalty marks, which are then added to mistakes and time faults in the jumping phases for an overall score much like that awarded in a human triathlon. Horse-mounted cavalry were used

worldwide through much of World War II. After that, eventing – what the military-styled test came to be called – was opened up to civilians.

Today’s version

The modern event is virtually identical to the original military test. Over the last 20 years, the second day has evolved to become the cross-country jumping phase, since most competition venues don’t have land available for a full speed and endurance test.

The transition inadvertently puffed up the importance of dressage and show jumping, maintains Olympic veteran and coach Jim Wofford. Though the obedience of dressage is key to everything, Wofford says, eventing was designed to be a complete test of an equine athlete, not just a dressage spin-off. The Upperville resident explains that the international equestrian federation – FEI – has toyed with scoring for decades to produce consistent results. “Here’s my Reader’s Digest version” of what happened, Wofford said. “This year, the FEI finally changed the (importance of the) scoring of the dressage phase – your face would drop off if I tried to explain it to you – so the effect is to now, finally, after a lot of to-and-fro, the three phases are basically on a 1:1:1 basis. “The Germans are not too pleased,” Wofford added, given that their European warmbloods and expertise in balance seat riding produces consistently superior dressage scores. But, he maintains, the changes are in keeping with the spirit of the sport. Though it’s only the one phase, the Great Meadow International cross-country is quite the test: 3,800 meters over about 25 jumps set nearly 4 feet high completed at 570 meters per minute. If you want to see how difficult the second day’s jumping test can be, a helmet-cam video of the cross-country phase is posted on the event’s website: greatmeadowinternational.com

Fast facts: Q-and-A on eventing Show jumping is exciting and easy to understand. Rails knocked down add 4 penalties, and time faults can be incurred. Cross-country is probably the most exciting but requires some trekking to get to some of the fences. Refusals cost 20 penalties. A new “knockdown” penalty – 60 – is added if a horse demolishes a jump. Time faults can accrue if you exceed the optimum time.

What breed of horse is an “eventer”?

There is no particular “eventer” breed. The thoroughbred horse used to be the traditional choice of upper-level event riders, but today’s redesigned sport favors the expressive movement of a European warmblood – or a cross, rather than the flat-kneed gaits of the thoroughbred. Shorter cross-country courses mean heavier warmbloods can perform as efficiently as the thoroughbred.

Can I cheer my favorites? What about catcalling like at a baseball game? I like to get into the game!

Do the horses like it?

Eventing is a demanding sport that requires a very special horse. If the horse isn’t willing, there is no way to force it to perform any portion of any of the three phases. Horse and rider teams form true partnerships through thousands of hours – and years – of training. Many event horses compete well into their teens. Eventers are carefully conditioned to perform under the hot and humid conditions they’re likely to find in summer competition, and there will be special cooling fans and cooling stations around the grounds to make sure horses don’t get overheated. Three veterinary inspections guarantee a stressed horse cannot continue the competition. To excel at eventing, a horse must possess a very efficient cardio-vascular system and thorough fitness, nurtured by miles of slow work and a methodical exercise regimen.

What about the riders? Where did they learn to do this?

Many riders came up through the ranks of the U.S. Pony Club or British Pony Club system. Others enter eventing from the foxhunting field, and a few step over from the show ring. An event rider has to nail good scores in three completely different phases. They’re widely considered some of the most versatile equestrian athletes of all disciplines.

You’ll never hear catcalling at a horse competition. Noise can distract a horse and cause an accident. Spectators are church silent during dressage and show jumping until each round is complete. Polite or enthusiastic cheering is encouraged, but only after a horse has left the arena or at least finished the course. On cross-country day, you’ll hear cheering as each horse clears each fence or combination successfully. You can shout and support riders, though please wait until after they complete a jump. PHOTO BY BETSY BURKE PARKER

Thoroughbreds and thoroughbred-crosses still dominate the upper levels of eventing, parlaying bravery on the racetrack for boldness over sometimes tricky cross-country and stadium jumps.

Which phase is “best” to watch?

If a rider looks lost on course, can I tell them where to go?

Outside assistance such as the sidelines coaching so prevalent at horse shows and on soccer fields, is strictly forbidden under penalty of elimination.

Who has the right of way? Me or the horse?

Short answer: It depends. Long answer: Each phase has its own unique challenges. To truly get a feel for the sport, try to watch a bit of each phase between forays to the Meadow Market shopping village. Dressage is a quiet, gracefully athletic dance of horse and rider, and the only phase that is scored subjectively by a panel of judges. “Positive” marks are mathematically converted to penalties.

Horses always have the right of way. Stay alert for directions from mounted stewards and fence judges. Officials have full authority.

Can I ask questions?

Volunteers and officials will be pleased to help you understand what’s going on throughout the weekend. And competitors will be thrilled to talk to you at Friday’s autograph session, or if you catch them at leisure during the weekend.

Going to the show? Dress for the day. What to wear, equestrian version

What to wear, equine version

There aren’t really any “rules” to follow for attire at the Nations Cup. But your results may vary if you’re not prepared for the unique venue. Remember, Great Meadow is essentially a 300-acre grass farm with plenty of lowland left saturated by this season’s rains. There are a few access roads. All are gravel, but otherwise, spectators will hump across hundreds of yards – even miles – of grass to get from parking to seating, and from jump to jump on Sunday’s cross-country. You’ll want sturdy shoes, comfortable for extended walking, and best if waterproof. Hiking sandals or river shoes are great, as are duck boots or water-resistant hiking shoes. Your clothes should reflect good sense as well as fashion sense. For men, khakis, jeans, modest shorts – any of them work – with a button-down or polo shirt. Same for women but add in the fun choice of a comfortable (and cute) sundress. Like polo and point-to-points, a big event like the Nations Cup is an occasion to “dress up” without really going anywhere. It’s fun to wear something sassy as well as cool, and this weekend is a perfect occasion. Don’t forget a hat. You’ll see everything from well-loved ballcaps to flop-

py sunhats to waxed rainhats. There will be fancy as well as sensible hats for sale at the Meadow Market if you want to wait for the weekend. Add the obvious: sunscreen, bug spray, rain poncho, refillable water bottle (on a carabiner if you want to stay hands-free) and a camera. Bring binoculars if you have them. Get a commemorative program for rider autographs at Friday’s meetand-greet event. There will be order sheets printed each day to follow the action.

The three-day event may as well be called the “three-outfit event” since horse and rider do complete wardrobe changes for each phase. Keep your eyes open for nuances from rider to rider, and differences from the four nations represented. Dressage: Most will don full formal attire: dark tails, white breeches and white stock tie. Others will be in black or navy “hunt coat” with buff breeches. Most wear gloves, though some will not. Most will wear spurs, and all wear tall black boots. Most horses will be in snaffles, most with flash noseband or drop noseband, and many will rock a little bling on the browband (studded with brass or faux gemstones). Most will have a square pad under the specialty dressage saddle (long billets, long flap), many emblazoned with breed logos or nation emblems. Stadium jumping: Completely different outfit – and tack – but it’s back to formal Saturday night for show jumping: Hunt coat, white shirt, black boots, buff or white breeches. Riders who have represented the U.S. in international competitions are allowed to wear the red coat of the U.S. Equestrian Team.

Tall, or short, rubber boots might be a smart choice for footwear at the Nations Cup. Spectators will have to walk a long way to get a good close-up view of the jumps on cross-country.

Horses do a wholescale wardrobe change between phases as do their riders. This horse is outfitted with an ear bonnet to keep out bugs, a figure-8 noseband on a plain snaffle bridle, with a Flair strip to aid in efficient breathing and a five-point breastplate to keep the saddle in place. The rider, Buck Davidson, has on the red coat that designates his prior representation of the U.S. in international competition.

What’s with the alphabet soup? An insider’s guide to the letter of the law

Most three-day event riders don’t speak French, but to describe their sport you’ve got to parlez-vous the lyrical Latin-based language, at least a little. Eventing’s controlling body – the Federation Equestre Internationale, or FEI – recognizes the Concours Complet International, CCI, and the Concours International Combiné, CIC, as the top levels. Great Meadow International’s CICO*** is part of that system. The original difference between the two formats was that a CCI had all four speed and endurance phases, while the CIC ran only cross-country. When the new short format abolished phases A, B and C from day two Loans for after the 2004 Olympics, the FEI made CCI courses harder by making them longer, with more jumps, than CICs. A CICO is a CIC “official, an international team competition. The Nations Cup is being held concurrently with the individually-awarded GMI. The stars shown as asterisks after the name designate the level, from FarmCreditofVirginias.com one to the new five-star top rating. All FEI-recognized competitions, regardless of discipline, are rated on a star system.

The highest is 3 feet 11 inches, but slightly less demanding “quesNMLS tions” are asked of horse and rider than #456965 would be at a four-star or five-star event. – By Betsy Burke Parker

more than 60,000 at the Virginia Gold Cup each spring, so don’t worry about whether organizers can handle the numbers. “We’ve proved that we can certainly draw a big crowd, bring the world to The Plains,” said Great Meadow Foundation president Rob Banner. The bigger the crowd the better, added O’Connor. It actually helps to train horses for foreign competition venues, which often attract more, and more boisterous, crowds.

A complete equestrian test, eventing’s three distinct phases measure horse and rider on elegance, bravery and precision as well as speed and endurance. Here, Berryville’s Sharon White jumps through ‘Swan Lake.’

Horses and riders need this kind of pressure-cooker “environment of international-level competition to prepare for the world stage,” O’Connor explained. Previously, most big international events have been in Europe. That meant U.S. riders had to base overseas for months – even years, to prepare for that level of exposure. “This is a game-changer,” Banner said of the international spotlight placed on The Plains. Complete schedule, entry list and ticket information is at greatmeadowinternational.com

Bring your own water and food (no glass containers) or buy food at the event. Charles Owen will have free water bottles in coolers around the grounds to ensure spectators don’t tap out in the expected heat. You can also bring folding chairs or a picnic blanket to sit on, though there will be chairs scattered around viewing areas. • Tip: Use your phone camera to snap a picture of your parking location. Parking is pretty far from competition rings, and a full day of sun-soaked action and a long shuttle ride on each end can befuddle the most experienced event-goer. • Tip: Use a carabiner to latch your car’s door key – only – to a beltloop so you’re not lugging around a full, heavy fob of irreplaceable keys.

Most riders will wear gloves, and nearly all will have spurs and carry a small crop. A helmet is required. Some will wear traditional black velvet hunt cap (with harness), others will wear their cross-country skull cap with a dark helmet cover. Horses wear jumping saddles, some with shaped fleece pads, others with square pads. Cross-country: Sunday morning, riders can let their inner spirits shine. This phase is least formal, and riders rock colorful polo shirts and accoutrements. Riders must wear protective vests and approved helmets. Most match

shirt to helmet cover to vest, often adding a complementary saddle pad. All riders wear a medical armband, marked with medical history and contact information, and a stopwatch. Many jot key split times on their forearms to make sure they stay on time at different points on the course. Horses change clothes again for cross-country. The bridle is different; many use a stronger bit. Some have a running martingale; almost all will have a five-point breastplate. Most wear protective boots on lower legs – front and-or back – and many will be smeared with Crisco grease on the front of the forelegs and stifles (top, front of hind legs) to help them “slide” over the fences if they misjudge the takeoff. – By Betsy Burke Parker

Saving the world’s forests 1 acre at a time Rainforest Trust has global reach

THE FAUQUIER COUNTY LIBRARY PAGE The latest news from and about the Fauquier County public library

Page 44 By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Saving the planet. It’s a big idea, but for most of us, just maintaining and preserving our backyard is challenge enough. We do take special pleasure, however, in the variety of birds, butterflies, plants and animals that frequent the Fauquier County and Virginia environs and would be hard pressed if that diversity were to disappear. Take that local perspective and expand it globally and you have the mission of The Rainforest Trust. Now celebrating a 30-year anniversary, this group of conservationists works passionately to purchase and protect the most threatened and vulnerable tropical forests in the world. By doing this, they aim to ensure the survival of endangered

wildlife. To date, they have saved more than 18 million acres in 45 countries. They have done this by partnering with more than 100 organizations around the world working together to make a difference. While the Rainforest Trust has been in existence since 1988, in 2015, their chief executive officer, Dr. Paul Salaman, moved their headquarters to Fauquier County in a historic manor house now known as the International Conservation House. The move placed Fauquier County on the global map as a hub for worldwide conservation. A wall-sized map greets visitors who enter the building. Dotted with markers, it gives a quick snapshot of the nonprofit’s worldwide reach. For the third year, a partner retreat was held in mid-June. Coming from faraway countries such as Columbia, Uganda, Ghana, Madagascar and the Philippines, representatives from a dozen organizations gathered on the grounds near Airlie. The energy and excitement of

the event was palpable, like an international classroom with c o nve r s a t io n s clicking, ideas flying and con nect ion s being made.

Hummingbirds, turtles, ‘whistling frogs’

A new partner since 2017, Luis Ortegca had traveled from the Serranía del Pinche, a part of the western ranges of the Colombian Andes. “It’s a beautiful bird,” he said, describing eriocnemis isabellae, a hummingbird whose only known habitat is found in these forests. Confirmed as a new species in 2007, it faces the risk of extinction. This small iridescent green bird with brilliant blue feathers and white puffs of plumage on its legs has a champion in Ortegca. Their habitat is threatened by forest-clearing for agriculture. German by birth, Dr. Sabine Schoppe has found her home in the Philippines. At Katala Foundation, she is the director of the Philippine Freshwater Turtle Conservation Program. The Philippine Pond Turtle is a critically endangered species. The dynamics of illegal trade in this species and the continued destruction of lowland forests has this turtle on the brink of being gone. A specialist in her field, Schoppe welcomes the relationship with the Rainforest Trust. They can provide help and guidance in working with local government agencies to combat the challenge. About the threatened turtles, Schoppe notes: “Well, we have more than a handful of them.” With help from the Rainforest Trust, more than 2,000 acres have been designated by the municipal government of Mendoza as a step toward a larger permanent protected home for the Palawan forest turtle. Dr. Caleb Ofori, founder of Herp Conservation Ghana, a registered non-governmental organization. With a broad and optimistic smile, Ofori talked about his small staff and their vision of a society committed to the conservation of amphibians and reptiles. His particular favorite is a species of frog he calls “the whistling frog” because of its unique call. “We thought it was extinct,” said Ofori until he found one. “And the people like to eat them.” “We are a small group but committed,” said Ofori who explained that an integration of evangelism

and conservation has had an impact with the indigenous people in this area of Ghana that borders Togo. “We are finding that they now want to protect this frog.” Herp Conservation Ghana looks to sustainable management and preservation of the dying habitats that these species and others rely on for survival. “This has been an eye opener for me,” said Dr. Winnie Nkalubo from the Fisheries Research Resources Institute in Jinja, Uganda. “Things that we have discussed…I can incorporate into my work…it’s really amazing to meet these people from other organizations…I am grateful to have been invited.” Nkalubo’s research is in the fisheries field. “There are many endangered fish species and other aquatic wildlife… we want to protect them,” she said describing a network of lakes where some of the endangered species are seeking sanctuary in the smaller outlets.

A powerful partnership

The Rainforest Trust recently announced that they are an official partner of the Key Biodiversity Area Partnership, which brings 12 leading nature-conservation organizations under one umbrella. Now unified, the intent is to be more effective in identifying, mapping, monitoring and conserving the most important global sites. “We work with a lot of NGOs,” said Chief Conservation Officer Dr. George Wallace, “We learn from them…we benefit from their knowledge.” Wallace explained that while buying forest acres to put under protection is important, it is key to have the support of local governments and communities in league with those See LOCAL TRUST, Page 40

WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | June 27, 2018

Beach read. The term is a relatively new additional to the American vernacular. It doesn’t, however, mean the same thing to everyone. Some define beach reads by genre – thrillers or romance novels. Others align it with the summer bestseller that everyone is reading. Or books that incorporate a vacation or beach into the plot. And still others lump all mass market paperbacks under the heading. For most, it is a catch all phrase for whatever books you stuff in your suitcase when heading out for vacation – to a sunny beach, mountain cabin or far off island. There is really no right or wrong definition. So go

ahead, pack “War and Peace” and throw in a bestseller or two. Whatever books you choose, enjoy them, and enjoy your vacation. Here are a few of our favorite books to enjoy while soaking up a little summer sun, available at your local Fauquier County Public Library branch: • “Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons” by Lorna Landvik • “The Book of Speculation” by Erika Swyler • “Confessions of a Shopaholic” by Sophie Kinsella • “The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper” by Phaedra Patrick • “Eight Hundred Grapes” by Laura Dave • “The Girl Who Chased the Moon” by Sarah Addison • “The High Season” by Judy Blundell • “The Kiss Quotient” by Helen Hoang • “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” by Jenny Lawson • “The Summer Before the War” by Helen Simonson Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Fauquier County Public Library

Looking for a book that sand and saltwater won’t harm? Try a “Beach Read” combo packs at The Book Cellar. Each pack includes three “beach reads” for $2. The Book Cellar is located at 2 Courthouse

Square, Warrenton and is open Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. All sale proceeds benefit Fauquier County Public Library.

Custom-built stone rambler at the edge of Warrenton Home to the late Walter N. and Arabelle Laws Arrington, this lovely stone rambler, with a slate roof and copper gutters, was constructed in 1968-69 by local master builder, W.J. Hanback. Situated on a wooded knoll with approximately 54 acres, a tenant house and 64-by-30-foot barn, this is the first time since its construction that this home has been offered for sale. During the residency of Mr. and Mrs. Arrington, the home was the scene of many social and political functions. The large living room, accented with a white marble-faced fire-

place and gas logs, flows into a beautiful flagstone floor sunroom, which then exits onto a lovely stone patio surrounded by a stone sitting wall. The dining room is accessed through an arched opening from the living room and a swinging door from the kitchen and overlooks the outside patio. Three grills, fueled by natural gas, are strategically located in the kitchen, on the stone patio and in the wet bar and bear witness to the days of entertaining. Three bedrooms and three full bath rooms are nestled on the private residence end of the home. Hard-

wood floors, crown molding, many windows and walk-in closets complement this section of the home. The master bedroom is also supplemented with a separate dressing/sitting room. The mostly-finished basement has a large game room with an inside and outside entrance and is adjacent to a full bath room. Next is the even larger recreational room complete with a stone-faced, raised stone hearth, wood-burning fireplace and book shelves to one side of the fireplace. A shuffle board court embellishes the floor and an extension

of the room contains a wet bar and space for a separate table. This home is offered for sale through Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., Warrenton.

Be safe as you celebrate the Fourth of July As I pen this today, it is the first day of summer with so many memories of summer fun when we were very young: catching fireflies to enjoy the “lights” (Mother always insisted upon their release before bedtime); daisy and buttercup crowns carefully braided for our little heads; mud pies served on tiny tea sets with real sweet treats provided by our beloved Grandma; homemade ice cream made in a crank freezer plus much more. What memories do you have? The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department was pleased to welcome 125 guests for breakfast on Father’s Day.

personnel, medicine, food, and relief supplies can't reach their intended destinations to help those most in need? What happens when there are no roads to access isolated locations and hardest hit communities? Air Serv International flies to the rescue. Since 1984, Air Serv International has used aircraft to provide transportation for humanitarian organizations operating in regions too difficult or dangerous to reach by land. By flying where no one else will and reaching the most inaccessible places under the most extreme conditions, Air Serv goes the last mile to help those no one else can.
