Tiny homes in Fauquier? It’s a little complicated

By Karen Chaffraix Contributing Writer

Whether it’s covered wagon trains, tents or tiny houses — micro-living is making a comeback around the country.

That trend was evident locally last month, when the Prince William County Fairgrounds teemed with folks interested in miniature abodes, despite the 100-degree bake.

“Oh, I’m just curious,” said Shirley Stewart, 79, from under a big hat. She drove up with a friend from Fredericksburg. “I would definitely need a bedroom on the first floor.”

This was not your hippy-dippy crowd.

“I’ll tell you why so many people are interested in tiny houses,” said John Kernohan, the Georgia man behind the Tiny House Festival. “After 2008, peoples’

minds are still spinning. You’ve got three generations living in one home nowadays.”

Kernohan and his wife have been arranging tiny house shows along the East Coast for two years now. “Sixty-thousand people attended our 2016 Florida show.”

“Most of my clients are between 40 and 50 years old,” said Mike Bedsole, standing under his living-room-sized awning. Bedsole owns Tiny House Chattanooga, which specializes in steel-structured tiny houses. He built the YouTube-famous Bryce Langston’s 16-foot tiny home.

“Lending is our biggest problem,” Bedsole said.

A proposal to create a Michigan left-styled intersection at U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road that would eliminate traffic lights and require U-turns of vehicles turning left was blasted in recent months by business people and residents, alike.

Now, state transportation officials are re-engaging the community to find another answer.

A working group of 10 to 12 people will meet with the Virginia Department of Transportation to come up with solutions the community can live with to improve traffic flow and access on U.S. 29 from Warrenton to Gainesville.

Soggy summer weather a challenge for area vineyards

By John Hagarty

equipment rarely seen on the East Coast. “It’s called an Agrotherm, and while it’s not necessarily designed for incessant rain it does help.

“The machine is essentially a giant, super blow-dryer. It helps dry the vineyard out and is also useful in a non-wet environment to boost the quality and quantity of the yield,” Roeder said. “It was a big investment for us with a price tag of $52,000.”

If the 2018 vintage were to fail to any large degree, wineries would be forced to purchase out-of-state fruit from California, Washington or Oregon. Winery owners don’t want to go that route but if the viability of their businesses is at stake they’d be compelled to do so.

“If we had to go with that option, it would essentially be a doubling my vineyard costs,” said Roeder.

Contributing Writer

Most of us are getting a little weary of our monsoon-like spring and early summer. But be thankful you’re not trying to grow grapes. It’s not bronze tans that local and statewide vineyard managers are sporting this season. That’s rust.

May was our sixth wettest and third hottest on record. Dulles International Airport recorded 8.9 inches of rain in May, and June is on pace to meet or exceed that number. That’s more than double the normal precipitation.

For homeowners, the struggle is centered on tending lawns and gardens. Waiting for a yard to dry out before cutting is a balance between mowing and haying. And nurturing vegetable gardens is a soggy and muddy endeavor.

Consider managing acres of delicate grape vines. Winery owners are a driven lot with a passion for producing quality wines. But fine wine only comes from fine grapes. With more than 26 wineries in Fauquier County, a nervous group of local vintners constantly scans the skies for dark clouds.

“We’re seeing a lot of disease setting in, and it’s taking a significant amount of work to manage the problem,” said Tom Kelly, a past president of the Virginia Vineyards Association, an independent consultant and director of operations for the Brown Bear Vineyards in Woodstock.

“There were a lot of problems during fruit set,” said Kelly. That’s tech talk for the self-pollinating process that ultimately creates precious clusters of plumb grapes. Normally that’s a good thing because vine pollination is not dependent on bees and other insect life. But heavy rains in the middle of fruit set interfered with the natural process and in some cases stopped it dead in its tracks.

Two of the keys to Virginia’s successful wine ascendency are canopy management and spraying protocols.

Rain dictates that costly sprays must be repeatedly applied to the vines when rains wash them away a mere day or two after application.

Moreover, heat and rain produce explosive growth of canopy and keeps vineyard workers pruning without end to let light and air circulate around the fruit for healthy growth. Left untended, a vine will direct much of its energy into leaf production, essentially smothering the berries.

If the current weather trend continues, an already existing statewide grape shortage will be exacerbated. The situation is not dire at this point, but drier weather must prevail to reach a successful harvest, Kelly said.

Fauquier County

Closer to home, Brian Roeder, owner of Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane, echoes Kelly’s concerns.

Roeder tends 30 acres of vines, one

PHOTOS BY JOHN HAGARTY Dark grey rain clouds gather over the Gray Ghost Vineyards in Amissville. Below, wet grape leaves.

Extra pruning, giant blow-dryer helps growers cope with the rain of the largest vineyards in the county.

“It’s not clear what the weather impact will be, but there will be some. Due to a fungus this spring that we had never seen before, we lost our crop of Norton,” Roeder said. “We expected to harvest 10 tons of the fruit but will pull less than a ton.”

Still, Roeder notes it could have been worse. “Over in the Shenandoah Valley at Indian Springs Vineyard, they’ve had crop losses of 20 to 40 percent due to problems during bloom,” he said. “We were lucky that only our Norton was affected.”

The rest of his vineyard is surviving but is demanding almost nonstop canopy management.

“It’s like painting the Golden Gate Bridge. As soon as the crew is done they have to start over again,” he said. “They work very, very hard trying to keep vigor under control and they’re doing a good job.”

The extra work drives up labor costs and Roeder said there’s little that can be done to prevent it.

“You don’t have a choice to scrimp in the vineyard. If you do, you’ll end up with diminished returns because quality goes down,” he said.

Roeder also highlights another issue affecting the industry: a pending shortage of qualified labor. Tending vines requires experienced workers and he thinks a smaller workforce will accelerate the current problems.

He believes the government’s efforts to deter workers can lead to serious shortages for both the state’s wine industry and agriculture in general.

“We have enough help at Barrel Oak but I’m hearing out there that this is an impactful issue for wineries. It’s simply becoming harder and harder to find qualified people to work in the vineyards,” said Roeder.

Adding to his costs, Roeder recently purchased a new piece of

Another large grape-growing region in the state is the Charlottesville area. Stephen Barnard is vineyard manager and winemaker at Keswick Vineyards located in Keswick.

“It’s been tough here. The rains can have a detrimental effect on pollination and fruit set. We must be particular about getting out in the vineyard and spraying and opening up the canopy with pruning,” Barnard said.

Barnard goes on to opine if it’s going to rain he’d rather have it now than during harvest. A rain-soaked harvest can dramatically reduce fruit quality as the berries become swollen with water. The ensuing loss of flavor and color reduces the ability to produce high-quality wine.

“For those who are on top of their game and know how to manage the problems with preventive measures they should be okay,” said Barnard.

“I think we can ride this one out. It could be an incredible harvest depending on what happens over the next three months.”

Andy Reagan, winemaker at the 68-acre Horton Vineyards located in Gordonsville, reinforces Barnard’s assessment. “Not too many of our varieties have been hit. Our Touriga and Albariino are down. However, Silver Creek Vineyards in Nelson County have been hit hard but overall it’s not a terrible issue for us at this point.”

The inability to plant new vines because of wet soils is a key problem. But Reagan takes a philosophical view: “This is Virginia,” he said.

“You can’t get riled up but must simply adapt to the weather.”

Reagan does agree with Roeder about labor shortages stating, “A growing lack of labor is more of a concern for me than weather.”

As one steps back and views the tribulations of being a wine grower in Virginia, the observation of American humorist Will Rogers comes to mind: “The farmer has to be an optimist, or he wouldn’t be a farmer.”

Indeed.

Tiny homes in Fauquier? It’s a little complicated

TINY HOME from page 1

“But that’s about to change,” he added. “There’s a new mortgage option, 10 to 20 years. I’ll be unveiling it on July 1.”

Well, that sounds promising. But let’s say you’ve picked the tiny home model you want, have the money in hand and live in Fauquier or Prince William counties. Are you in for an uphill battle to reside, legally, in your tiny house?

Fauquier ready for tiny homes

At his office in Warrenton, Building Official Jeff Morrow has written a special pamphlet just for those interested in tiny homes titled, “Building codes affecting the permitting of TINY HOUSES.” Among other things, it instructs that tiny homes of just 88 square feet are legal according to the 2015 International Residential Code. That would include a living area/kitchen of at least 70 square feet and a bathroom of 18 square feet.

The rest of the document lists nine standards the build must meet.

Minimum ceiling height, for example, must be 7 feet. And as long as there is 7 feet of standing room under a loft, one can sleep in the loft, although it must “comply with minimum opening dimensions” for emergency escape and rescue.

“We have always been of the

Walton, chief of the county’s zoning and development services, spelled out a few things when asked about living in say, a yurt, or a reconfigured school bus.

“Zoning doesn’t allow living in RVs or buses, or anything with [license] tags,” although if the RV is connected to water and sewer, and tied down, or on a permanent foundation, it can be lived in.”

Missile Propulsion has Landed in Warrenton

Electricity is optional, he said, but you do need a water source and a graywater disposal system. Tents over 900 feet require permits. And under 900? “You can’t live in them.”

Questions about composing toilets and recycling human manure (for the homesteaders) had to go to Environmental Health Manager Whitney Wright.

He further illuminated Fauquier County’s mindset about permitting waste systems. “Professional engineers, by code, are allowed to design systems that are outside of the box.

We are happy to review them. “With unconventional proposals,” he added, “basically everything comes down to the building official’s decision.”

In Prince William, no special rules for tiny homes

In Prince William County, there are no special rules for tiny homes. They must comply with the rules for every other kind of single-family home.

“The current view in Prince William County is that we don’t distinguish ‘tiny houses’ from other houses. Our focus is on single-family homes,” said Prince William building official Eric Mays. “The structure either meets the statewide building code, or it doesn’t.”

So, how small can a home be and still fall into legal single-family dwelling status?

“I don’t know,” he replied. “That would be in one of these books.”

Two massive paperbacks lie on the table, each one 3 inches thick.

Can we look it up?

“Uh, it’s not that easy. I’ve never gotten that question,” Mays said.

County Zoning Administrator Lisa Fink-Butler filled in the blanks by phone.

Currently, the Prince William

County zoning ordinance allows tiny homes to be built only on lots zoned “non-conforming agricultural.” Those are lots that were zoned agricultural before the county ordinances limited building on such lots to one home per 10 acres, Fink-Butler said in an email.

The county has no requirement dictating that tiny homes should be a certain size, however.

“The minimum used to be 700 square feet, but that was changed,” Fink-Butler said. “There is no minimum now. It’s all a matter of how your structure is categorized.”

Dwellings fall into one of four code-specific categories: Stick-built is your conventional house, of any size, built on a foundation. County approval of construction, placement, sewage system, utilities and water connections are all required.

Industrial (factory-built and delivered) require state approval as well as county approval for sewer and water connections.

RVs and drivable campers are approved by Housing and Urban Development. They may be lived in at a campsite only, for no longer than 30 days, or parked in — but not lived in — a driveway. A manufactured mobile home/trailer can become a permanent dwelling if tied down in an approved area.

‘Something had to give’

Jill Kanto was at the tiny house festival. This single mother of three and website designer built her own tiny house in Maryland because “something had to give.”

She couldn’t find any kind of compilation of legal tiny house sites on the internet, so she built her own at www.searchtinyhousevillages.com.

There are 80 listed so far and 300 more await upload.

“Zoning is specific to the state and the county and even the township,” she said. “The mid-Atlantic area, in my experience, is the most difficult for living legally. Although, a new tiny house community just opened up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,” she added. “And Asheville, North Carolina, is a mecca for tiny house villages.”

Felice Cohen was also at the tiny house show. She wrote a book about living in a 90-foot apartment in Manhattan, and of course, she’s on YouTube.

How can that even be legal, she was asked via email.

She wrote back, “It’s not!”

It’s back to the drawing board on U.S. 29

U.S. 29 from page 1 “This first meeting is to listen,” said VDOT Chief Engineer Garrett W. Moore, who moderated a June 28 forum in The Barn at Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton.

“We heard that we weren’t listening.”

“We’re not pushing the Michigan left” solution, he said, adding that VDOT wants to hear other ideas from the community.

About 40 people, many of whom turned out to previous forums held to discuss the long-standing traffic problem, attended the afternoon session.

Who will serve on the working group remains to be determined, though members representing businesses along U.S. 29, Vint Hill businesses and residential communities were suggested as possible members.

The frequency of meetings and where they will be held are matters still to be worked out as well. VDOT is expected to announce next steps.

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution earlier this year that called on VDOT to cease moving ahead with plans for the Vint Hill Road intersection and three others along U.S. 29.

“I’m hoping it works out. I’ve heard it all before,” said Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo, who attended the June 29 forum as did Center District Supervisor Chris Granger.

Trumbo said he is “skeptical.”

“I’m going to be working to keep them honest,” Trumbo said of VDOT. “If there is foot-dragging, I’m going to be shouting.”

Moore, who lives outside Warrenton, said the next meeting could come in a month, and that there could be four or five such meetings.

Other alternatives will be considered, though as Moore cautioned the group, financial constraints could put some out of reach unless funding is found.

The state applied for $4 million in federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funding for the Vint Hill Road project. That project, along with a $2.5 million restricted crossing proposed at the Broad Run Church Road intersection also funded through HSIP, are on hold.

A solution to the problem along U.S. 29 — which sees traffic stacked up at times even on weekends, as Granger noted — involves balancing access and safety, Moore said.

U.S. 29 is “a corridor of statewide significance,” Moore noted.

Deputy Secretary of Transportation Quintin Elliott said “workable solutions” are needed.

“We also want to make sure the board of supervisors are on board,” Elliott added. “We don’t want to move forward without appropriate buy-in.”

Fauquier Times | July 4, 2018

Some very raw thoughts on the Capital Gazette This was written​in the hours immediately following the horrific events in Annapolis.

I didn’t personally know anyone at the Capital Gazette. In a way, that was a surprise. We are a tight business, and we move around quite a bit. Thus, it wasn’t surprising to find out this evening through social media that there were only a couple degrees of separation.

But I knew every one of those people. I’ve worked with them for 25 years. We’ve shared highs and lows.

Drinks and burgers. Marriages. Watched their children grow from newborns to adults. Divorces. Celebrated awards. Moved from apartments to houses. First jobs to retirement. Layoffs. Promotions. New opportunities.

Some loved each other. Some hated each other. I know them. All across the world.

Sound familiar?

It sure did to EDITORme. I didn’t think IN-CHIEF about anything like this when CHRIS I took my trash SIX to the dump this morning. Or when I walked into the office today at 11:30, just in time to make a lunch meeting. But I did think about how easily this could have been any newspaper I have ever worked at. Where the community can feel free to walk in the front door and complain about a story. Or provide a tip. Or buy a single copy.

Or threaten us if we didn’t remove a story from our website.

Rob Hiaasen Gerald Fischman John McNamara Rebecca Smith Wendi Winters I can’t say much more about them. I didn’t have the honor. I’ll let someone who knew them do so: “There are no 40 hour weeks, no big paydays — just a passion for telling stories from our community.

We keep doing more with less. We find ways to cover high school sports, breaking news, tax hikes, school budgets & local entertainment. We are there in times of tragedy. We do our best to share the stories of people, those who make our community better. Please understand, we do all this to serve our community.”

— Jimmy DeButts an editor at the Capital Gazette Most people don’t get that. A surprising number to me, actually. I guess I’m odd, but there is nothing I prefer to do. In fact, everything else makes me miserable. There are times I want to look at everyone, take my toys and go home. But I can’t, because this is who I am. It’s difficult when the people I care about don’t get that, but so be it.

Which may be why I get so much joy out of this tweet: ‘We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow’: Capital Gazette journalists report on shooting in their own newsroom You’re damn right. That is the greatest tribute you can pay to these people. Because that is what we do.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago July 8, 1943 Technical Sgt. Howard W. Payne, a civilian pilot trained at Zeiger Field south of Warrenton, was inducted into the Army here Jan. 6, 1942. A mechanic and gunner, he was a crew member of a B-17 Flying Fortress operating from England. Last week he was reported missing in action, according to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roger H. Payne of Warrenton.

Fauquier County’s branch of the Red Cross Camp and Hospital Council Service is getting underway with plans for the furnishing and decoration of the three porches at the Signal Corps Station hospital, Mrs. W. H. Emory, chairman, said this week.

Derwent Carrico, son of Mr. and Mrs. S.C. Carrico of Nokesville, is a naval welder who recently underwent basic training at Chicago.

50 Years Ago July 11, 1968 It was a quick, quiet and unanimous vote last Tuesday as the Town of Warrenton matched Fauquier County and the Town of The Plains to permit Sunday sale of beer and wine. Only Remington continues to prohibit Sunday sales of beer and wine, but town officials say the ordinance has no effect at present, as no retail licensees are currently open for business on Sunday in Remington.

Fauquier’s delegation to the State 4-H Club Congress at VPI this summer included Katherine C. Ott, Kay Allison, Annette Markland, Dale Glascock, Lynne Walker, Richard Burton Jr., Olive Chapman, Penny Rucker, Claude Chapman and Brian Hickerson. Penny Rucker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rucker of Delaplane, was tapped for the 4-H All Stars.

Exotic Longhorned tick found in Virginia

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

The National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, confirmed the finding of a Longhorned tick, also referred to as an East Asian tick, in Virginia. The tick appeared on an orphaned calf on a beef farm in Albemarle County in mid-May. Since then, it has also appeared in Warren County on some horses. The owners declined to speak about it.

“None have been found yet in Fauquier County,” Tim Mize, Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension agent in Warrenton, said of the tick that can cause disease in animals and humans. “They may be more widespread than we know.”

In late 2017, the tick, formally known as Hae-

maphysalis longicornis, was found initially in New Jersey. No known direct link exists from the Virginia farm to the area in New Jersey where the first ticks appeared on a sheep farm.

“We don’t know about the path the ticks took,” said Elaine Lidholm, of the Virginia Department of Agriculture. “From New Jersey, they jumped to Albemarle County and then to Warren County and are now in West Virginia and Arkansas.”

Teams of researchers have not determined the path of any link from farm to farm or state to state.

“People may have seen it and didn’t realize they should report it,” Lindholm added. “If anyone sees a tick they have never seen before, please take it to your local extension office.”

Virginia state veterinary officials will continue to work with the U.S. Department of Agri-

Longhorned tick culture and other federal and industry partners to determine the extent and significance of this finding.

Ticks are seen in the greatest numbers in spring and fall, but can persist through all four seasons, especially in warmer weather. Livestock producers should work with their herd veterinarians to develop a tick prevention and control program.

Yes, giant hogweed is in Fauquier, but experts say don’t fret Staff Reports Giant hogweed has been confirmed in multiple Virginia locations, including Fauquier County.

But experts at Virginia Tech and Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said this week there is no evidence the dangerous weed with toxic sap is spreading widely.

Virginia Tech plant experts, working with VDACS officials and the Virginia Cooperative Extension, have confirmed the plant growing in Clarke County, Rockingham County and Fauquier County based on submitted plant specimens.

Virginia Tech experts have confirmed an additional site in Alexandria based on photographs, according to a press release.

“There’s not cause for widespread worry. It’s growing where it’s been planted from what we’ve seen. We see little evidence of it widely spreading,” said Virginia Tech’s Michael Flessner, an assistant professor and extension weed science specialist who has worked closely with Jordan Metzgar, curator of the Massey Herbarium at Virginia Tech, to identify that the plants are indeed giant hogweed.

Initial management measures have been taken at all four sites, and VDACS will be following up with subsequent site visits, the press release said.

Giant hogweed is a Tier 1 noxious weed on VDACS’ Noxious Weed List. The classification means the weed was previously unknown in the Commonwealth.

The Department of Conservation and Recreation lists giant hogweed as an early detection invasive plant, which means it is not established in Virginia and if found, the goal is to eradicate it before it becomes established.

When exposed to skin, the sap from a giant hogweed plant can cause severe skin and eye irritation, painful blistering and potentially permanent scarring.

The plant is easily confused with other look alike plants such as cow parsnip, elderberry and

Giant hogweed others.

People who think they have found giant hogweed should take a digital photo of the leaf, stem

and flower, being careful to avoid skin contact with the plant. They can report it to the local office of Virginia Cooperative Extension or file an online report.

Giant hogweed is a very distinct plant when set against Virginia landscapes and although it has some similar characteristics as cow parsnip, angelica and Queen Anne’s lace, its size sets it apart.

It can grow up to 15 feet tall with leaves as large as 5 feet across.

Most plants identified in Virginia have been 5 to 10 feet tall, with largest leaves approximately 2 feet across. The white flower clus-

ter contains 50 — 150 flower rays spreading up to two feet across.

Giant hogweed also has purple splotches and coarse, sparse white hairs on the stem. The leaf is more incised and angular than cow parsnip, which giant hogweed’s closest look alike.

Anyone who suspects they have found giant hogweed should take photos, check online to compare the plant to photos and then contact a Virginia Cooperative Extension agent or file an online report.

People also may contact the VDACS Office of Plant Industry Services at 804-786-3515.

CAN WE CHOOSE A TIME TO DIE? Many wonder whether a person could either consciously or subconsciously choose a particular time to die. According to anecdotal reports, some individuals have declared they only intended to live long enough to be alive for a certain event (such as the marriage of a child) before dying, and they did just that. One documented case in a respected medical journal told of a 40-year-old woman with chest pains, who told her nurses and clergyman that she intended to die exactly one week later, on the second anniversary of her mother’s death. She did. And one study showed that elderly ChineseAmerican women postpone death until after the Harvest Moon Festival. Perhaps we have more control over our deaths than we might think.

Honoring the life of your loved one means you value the relationship you shared. We look forward to helping you decide how to celebrate that bond, and honor the unique person you’ve lost.

Warrenton’s Tschetter to tee it up at U.S. Women’s Senior Open

By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

They’re playing the first U.S. Women’s Senior Open at the venerable Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois, from July 12-15. There are 16 former U.S. Women’s Open champions and six Open runners-up in the elite field of the best 50-and-older female golfers in the world.

And one of them has been happily residing in Warrenton since 2008.

That would be vivacious Fauquier County resident Kris Tschetter, who finished second to Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam in the 1996 Women’s Open in Southern Pines, N.C. and has been playing at the game’s highest levels since she was a teenager in South Dakota.

Now 53 and the mother of two teenagers, she’s a 24-year veteran of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA), with about $3 million in career earnings.

Her last full LPGA season was 2011, and she’s been playing on the women’s “Legends Tour” ever since.

Unlike the PGA Tour’s Champions circuit for men 50 and over, with 24 events and $56 million in purses, the Legends has only seven events this year and $3 million total in prize money, including $1 million up for grabs at the inaugural Women’s Senior Open.

For Tschetter, it’s always been about much more than a dash for cash.

“I still love to compete,” Tschetter said in a recent interview. “And I think we’re all really thankful for the Legends Tour. It’s still fun and something I always look forward to. The Senior Open should be fantastic.”

Tschetter joined the LPGA in 1988, won two events over the years

Former LPGA tour pro Kris Tschetter of Warrenton will compete in the first U.S. Women’s Senior Open starting July 12 in Wheaton, Illinois. “I definitely think I’ll be ready,” she said.

The Tschetter File

Age: 53.

College: Attended Texas Christian University.

Career highlights: Won LPGA Northgate Computer Classic in 1992. Twice finished second in major championships: the 1996 U.S. Women’s Open and 1997 Nabisco Dinah Shore.

Author: Wrote book “Mr. Hogan, The Man I Knew” about golf legend Ben Hogan, who befriended her and gave her tips. with numerous top ten’s and also was runner-up in the Kraft Nabisco in Palm Springs, another LPGA major, in 1997. Her nine-hole score of 29 at the 2005 British Women’s Open at Royal Birkdale remains a tournament record and is tied for the lowest nine in LPGA history.

Her career toward the end was hampered by several debilitating injuries, in-cluding both hips being replaced, and back issues. These days, she’s relatively healthy, save for inflammatory arthritis in both hands, and said she’s rounding in-to decent playing shape for the Senior Open, a four-day, 72-hole test over a difficult 6,000-yard course.

Tschetter recently launched her own company, Kris Tschetter Golf, to conduct corporate outings with an educational and team-building component. Last month, she held a highly-successful trial run at Creighton Farms in Aldie, where she’s also the honorary playing professional. She also is director of community relations for a California high-tech golf company called 18Birdies.

She’s always been one of the game’s most stylish and approach-

able players. One of her LPGA sponsors was iconic fashion designer Liz Claiborne, and she’s a published author with a delightful book, “Mr. Hogan, The Man I Knew,” about her friendship with the great Ben Hogan.

Tschetter met him when she was playing for Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas, and her college team had privileges at Hogan’s home course, Shady Oaks.

They practiced and played occasionally, and her book recounts many of her favorite moments with Hogan, and the life and golf lessons she learned.

In recent weeks, Tschetter has been preparing for the Women’s Senior Open, spending hours on the range and playing at two local courses, Stonewall in Gainesville and Creighton Farms in Aldie.

“My two daughters are doing a lot of swimming at the Creighton Farms pool,” Tschetter said of Lainey, 15, a rising sophomore at Fauquier High School, and Kyra, 13, an eighth grader at Warrenton Middle School.

“My guess is that people are really trying hard to get prepared for this tournament. I know I am. I definitely think I’ll be ready.”

She had better be. The 120-player field includes some of the grandest names in women’s golf, including Julie Inkster, Laura Davies, Patty Sheehan, Meg Mallon and Rosie Jones, among many others. The Chicago Golf Club was founded in 1894 and has hosted a variety of top events, including multiple men’s U.S. Opens and Walker Cups.

Because there are so few Legends tournaments, it’s difficult for many players to get into a compet-

itive groove as they once did on the LPGA. In Legends events, players also are permitted to ride golf carts.

In the Senior Open, they’ll all be walking.

“It can be a little frustrating not playing every week,” Tschetter said.

“When the bell goes off, you’re trying to get in that competitive mode, but you haven’t played so much as you used to . You fight and you play hard, but you’re a little rusty. I also knew when I retired from the LPGA, I’d never be in the kind of shape I was back then.

“I used to laugh at people who walked for exercise, and now I’m one of them. I never realized what great shape I was in when I walked 18 holes every day. I can tell you this getting older is definitely not for the faint of heart.”

99TH WARRENTON PONY SHOW

Heat doesn’t prove to be a show stopper

HORSE BRIEFS

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

One of the oldest horse competitions in the nation, and the only one run entirely by a junior committee, the Warrenton Pony Show just concluded its 99th year, and it is full steam ahead, say organizers, for next year’s century celebration.

Junior vice-president Katie Solomons says youth organizers have eyes on the 2019 show. “It’ll be our 100th anniversary,” she said. “We’re getting ready already. It’ll be huge.”

Still, the 42-member junior committee stayed laser-focused on the success of this year’s show, held June 27-July 1 at the historic Warrenton Horse Show grounds.

They manned the ringside secretary’s stand, handed out ribbons and organized an active silent auction.

“We’re trying to raise as much money as we can. This year’s charity is Fauquier SPCA,” explained junior show secretary Maddison Allen. The show has given more than $50,000 to the local shelter.

The SPCA tent proved a popular recent addition. “They bring cats and dogs,” she said. “And every year, I know they adopt out a lot of pets.

It’s great.”

The five-day show is “A” rated by the U.S. Equestrian Federation, and the Virginia and Maryland Horse Shows Associations.

Junior committee members work year-round to orchestrate the huge onering show, said longtime professional show manager Tommy Lee Jones.

There are planning sessions, jump painting parties, showgrounds cleanup events and regular check-ins by junior co-presidents Blake Bogin, Hayley Gunnell and Helen Lohr, along with a senior steering committee.

“But most of all, it’s fun,” said junior secretary Maddison Allen.

“I think this year’s show is one of the biggest we’ve had. The perfect weather helped. Yeah, it’s hot, but at least it wasn’t raining.”

Addy Wingate and her Woodlands Strike A Pose took top honors in the headline $2,500 Country Chevrolet pony classic Saturday night. Mary-

Middleburg’s Lindsay Kelley is one of several locally-based upper level riders competing in this weekend’s Great Meadow International.

NATIONS CUP Event runs July 6-8

The July 6-8 Nations Cup and Great Meadow International CIC*** come to The Plains this week.

In addition to the team competition and individual three-star, riders aimed at the World Equestrian Games this September will take part in a practice combined test, doing the FEI**** dressage at 4:30 p.m. Friday, and doing a show jumping course Saturday evening.

The U.S. team includes Buck Davidson, Phillip Dutton, Sydney Conley and Caroline Martin.

Other featured riders are Lauren Kieffer, Boyd Martin, Lynn Symansky and Sharon White.

GMI dressage is Saturday morning starting at 7:10 a.m., with show jumping that afternoon at 5 p.m. Cross-country is Sunday, starting at 9 a.m. Complete entries and a schedule are at greatmeadowinternatonal.com.

hunter Millet won the new $1,500 Pony Show classic Thursday night with her Just For Me. Warrenton-based trainer Jonelle Mullen donated lapel boutonnieres for classic competitors. “These are very special classes,” she said. “The riders should feel special about being part of it.”

Emma Smith, who trains with Mullen, earned Best Child Rider on a pony prize with Jessica Rockwell’s Otteridge Dress Blues. Smith won the

Marshall and Sterling pony equitation medal class on the large pony hunter.

Best Child Rider on a horse was hunter seat medal winner Emma Pell, who trains with Denice DeRisio Perry in Middleburg.

Warrenton’s own Riley Hogan won the VHSA children’s medal on her Master of Markets. Maryhunter Millet won the VHSA pony medal on her Rollingwoods All In All. In the pony hunter breeding division, Stewart Kohler’s 3-year-old Elfin won Best Young Pony, with Barbara Chappell’s Secret Escort reserve.

COLONIAL DOWNS TO OPEN Northam signs gambling bill

Governor Ralph Northam signed a bill to allow historical horse racing machines in Virginia, a move that enabled sale of Colonial Downs to a new owner.

The New Kent County track, which opened in 1997 but dark since the 2013 season, is set to re-open next summer.

Speakers at the event held at the central Virginia track included Fauquier native and bill sponsor, Del. Michael Webert.

TRAIL RIDES Casanova Hunt plans series

When the presidents came to town

By John Toler

Associate Editor

For many years, Virginia was known as the “Mother of presidents,” due to the number of Virginians who were elected to that post during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. And in many cases, many presidents, both from Virginia and not, have visited or at least passed through Fauquier County.

In addition to presidents, other historic figures have spent time here.

The first president would be George Washington (1732-1799), who as a young man surveyed property in colonial northern Fauquier.

He was also a property owner. According to a deed in the Fauquier County Clerk’s Office dated March 15, 1774, Washington owned orchards and a farm near Paris, Virginia. In his later years, he spent time in Fauquier and passed through on his way to Mount Vernon.

Similarly, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) usually came up the Seminole Trail (today’s U.S. 29-15) on his way from Monticello, outside of Charlottesville, to Washington D.C. Likewise, James Monroe (17581831) frequently passed through Fauquier, as he had a home at Ash Lawn, near Monticello, as well as his Oak Hill estate in Loudoun County.

James Madison (1751-1836), who lived at Montpelier near Orange, would also have crossed Fauquier on his way north.

It is written that Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), en route to Washington from The Hermitage, his home near Nashville, stopped in Warrenton and New Baltimore. It is also likely that Zachary Taylor (1784-1850), who was born at Montebello in Orange

County, passed this way.

On Jan. 13, 1909, President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) and his party arrived in Warrenton on horseback on the first leg of their historic ride from the White House to Warrenton and back, all in one day. Actually, 16 hours and 10 minutes.

But why did Roosevelt choose Warrenton as the destination?

Being the right distance from Washington for the test was only part of the reason; Roosevelt had been here many times, often visiting his friends, retired Commodore and Mrs. J. C. Wise, USN (ret.), who lived on Culpeper Street. It is known that his son, Theodore Jr. (18871944), often attended St. James’ Episcopal Church with Commodore and Mrs. Wise.

It should be remembered that years later, Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr., then in his late 50s, led his men into battle at Utah Beach during D-Day. He survived the brutal invasion, only to die from a heart attack five weeks later. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

1993: The last presidential visit

Other presidential family members also visited Fauquier. During the presidency of William Howard Taft (1857-1930), his daughter, Helen Herron Taft (1891-1987), often came to Warrenton to participate in, or just to observe, the sport of foxhunting.

She usually stayed at the home of Mrs. May Hill, on Lees Ridge Road.

President Herbert Hoover (18741964) and his wife regularly drove through Warrenton on holidays, en route to his fishing camp on the Rapidan River in the mountains near Madison. Hoover is said to have remarked that his presence in Warren-

ton, albeit brief, never caused a stir – something he appreciated.

It is not known if President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), our last Virginia-born president, spent any time in Fauquier. But his second wife, Edith Bolling Galt Wilson (1872-1961), and her brother, John Randolph Bolling, were frequent visitors to Warrenton.

When the part of Skyline Drive at Big Meadow was dedicated on July 4, 1936, Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) and his entourage passed through Warrenton, where he was greeted by about 1,000 residents, but did not stop.

It is also remembered that on one Saturday in May in the 1930s, his son Franklin Jr. was photographed by a leading magazine while enjoying the Virginia Gold Cup races.

During the 1950s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower spent several weekends at Fairfield Ranch, near Hume.

In the early 1960s, President John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) and his family briefly lived at Glen Ora, their country home near Middleburg, and attended Mass at St. Stephen the Martyr Catholic Church.

Fauquier County residents who were here in 1993 will remember the last visit by a U.S. president. Then president-elect, William Jefferson Clinton (b. 1946) made an official stop in Warrenton on his way up the “Monticello Trail” from Charlottesville to Washington D.C., just before his inauguration.

The visit was highly anticipated, and much work was done by the town in preparation. The streets were spotless and decorated, the reviewing stand and bleachers for the press erected, and security, includ-

ing armed officers on nearby rooftops was ready.

Standing by to provide the music was the Fauquier High School and St. John’s School bands and the choir of the First Baptist Church.

There were concerns that the stop in Warrenton might be canceled if Clinton’s “buscapade” was behind schedule for the inaugural festivities in Washington D.C., but when they pulled into town, they were met by more than 7,000 people crowded onto Courthouse Square.

After a short introduction by Vice President-elect Al Gore, Clinton spoke for about three minutes before wading into the front rows behind the rope barrier to shake the hands of many of his admirers. The official visit lasted 33 minutes, but the spectators – some of whom who had waited for hours – remained on Courthouse Square, enjoying the midafternoon sun.

Other memorable visitors

Revolutionary War hero the Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) stopped in Warrenton, New Baltimore and Buckland when he returned to the United States for the last time in 1825.

He was accompanied by former President James Monroe, his son George Washington Lafayette, Col. Robert Randolph, Thomas T. Fauntleroy and Charles Fenton Mercer.

Reaching the courthouse in Warrenton, Lafayette was met by a crowd of nearly 6,000, and was welcomed by Thomas Moore, who gave the welcoming address on the lawn of the Norris Tavern. The celebration lasted until 10 p.m. The next morning, Lafayette headed up

Mosby Heritage Area Association breaks programming record Staff Reports The Mosby Heritage Area Association announced a second-consecutive record year of school programming.

the Old Carolina Road on his way to Oak Hill, President James Monroe’s home in Loudoun County.

On Sept. 15-17, 2000, the memorable “Salute to Lafayette,” marking the 175th anniversary of Lafayette’s historic visit, was held in Warrenton.

The event was organized by the Fauquier Historical Society and led by the late Maxwell Harway and society president Richard Gookin. Activities included a parade, exhibits, a costume ball and ongoing educational projects.

William Jennings Bryan (18601925) was a famous orator and unsuccessful three-time presidential candidate (he lost to Taft in 1908). In the early 1900s, Bryan came to Warrenton and held one of his popular Chautauqua gatherings in a tent pitched near the Warrenton Grade School.

Historian M. Louise Evans recalls that the Chautaquas usually lasted two or three days, and featured lectures, speeches and discussions.

There was also music provided by different groups – including yodelers – and art displays.

“Locally, the people looked forward to the Chautaquas, and it is to be regretted that they too passed from Warrenton, though for what reason I do not know,” recalled Evans.

Union soldiers’ remains unearthed in firstof-its-kind discovery at Manassas Battlefield In August 1862, two Union soldiers were gravely wounded at the Second Battle of Manassas. They were brought to a field hospital, but both died as a result of their injuries.

Their bodies were laid to rest in a shallow burial pit, intermixed with amputated limbs from other soldiers wounded in the battle.

Then they were lost to history – until now.

The National Park Service first encountered their remains during a utility project in 2014. With help from the Smithsonian Institution, the NPS was able to identify the remains as Union soldiers and worked with the Army to give the soldiers an honorable final resting place.

Although previous archeological testing of the area did not identify any significant finds, the recent installation of new utility lines unearthed several small fragments of bone that were collected by the archeologist assigned to monitor the work.

The dig

At first, no one knew exactly what the bone fragments were or their origin. To find out, the NPS sent the fragments to the forensic anthropology lab at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History.

Researchers there determined the fragments were human, and that they dated to the Civil War. What’s more, a piece of femur bone they were able to piece together revealed the limb had been sawed off, consistent with an amputation.

That information determined that further excavation was needed. It was possible something incredibly rare was on the site, and this was an invaluable opportunity to study and preserve the findings.

In 2015, archeologists from the NPS and the Smithsonian Institution removed the earth in a grid pattern, inch by inch, layer by layer. Using scientific techniques and measurements from a variety of tools, they carefully recorded the objects they found and their precise positions.

Determining the exact positions of bones in the ground helps scientists understand how the remains were placed and whether damage to bones happened before or after the person died.

Beneath the surface, they found two nearly-complete human skeletons and several artifacts, including buttons from a Union sack coat, a .577 Enfield bullet, three pieces of .31 caliber lead buckshot, and an assemblage of 11 arms and legs.

The discovery indeed proved to be something incredibly rare: a battlefield surgeon’s burial pit. In fact, this was the first time such a burial pit had ever been excavated and studied at a Civil War battlefield.

To learn more about who these bones belonged to, the NPS again turned to the lab at the Smithsonian to investigate.

A .577 Enfield bullet lodged in a portion of femur bone.

PHOTOS COURTESY NATIONAL PARK SERVICE

Archeologists inspect the dig site in 2015.

The lab

Forensic anthropologists from the Smithsonian helped the NPS remove the bones from the site and moved them to a laboratory at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History for further study.

By analyzing the chemistry of the bones, researchers determined where the soldiers were from. Carbon isotopes and oxygen isotopes indicated the soldiers ate food and drank water from northern latitudes. Combined with the artifacts including sack coat buttons found with them, they were identified as Union soldiers.

By analyzing the teeth, joints and bone structure of the two skeletons, scientists determined the first was a man in his late 20s who died as a result of injuries from an Enfield bullet striking his upper leg. Surprisingly, the bullet was still lodged in the femur bone, likely because it slowed as it passed through the man’s cartridge box.

The second skeleton, estimated to be a man 30-34 years old, died as a result of a buck and ball shot to the upper arm, pelvis and leg.

Both men were taken to the field hospital but appear to have died without being operated on. Their injuries were too severe.

Research on the 11 limbs recovered from the surgeon’s burial pit continues. By examining the cuts, it is possible to determine the skill of the surgeon and even his physical position relative to the patient. With help from historical records, researchers believe it may be possible to match the bones with a specific surgeon and maybe even the soldier they belonged to, which would be a truly unique discovery.

A place of honor

After the remains were identified as soldiers, the Army expressed interest in giving the men a permanent resting place at Arlington National Cemetery.

On June 19, the NPS transferred the remains of the two soldiers to the Army. The Army will inter the remains at Arlington National Cemetery in two caskets made by park rangers from a fallen tree on the battlefield.

On Aug. 30, 1862, the day these soldiers were likely wounded, federal troops were ordered to cross an

open field, assailed by crushing artillery fire and withering infantry fire from an elevated, entrenched Confederate position. Like many others that day, these soldiers gave the last full measure doing their duty.

Being laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery will honor their memory and the sacrifice of so many service members throughout our nation’s history.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE: RIDER B, BIOMASS CONVERSIONS OF THE ALTAVISTA, HOPEWELL, AND SOUTHAMPTON POWER STATIONS CASE NO. PUR-2018-00083 •Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider B. •Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of $54.189 million for its 2019 Rider B. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on November 28, 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, filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an annual update of the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider B (“Application”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with the Altavista, Hopewell, and Southampton Power Stations from coal-burning generation facilities to renewable biomass generation facilities (collectively, the “Biomass Conversion Projects” or “Conversions”).

In 2012, the Commission approved Dominion’s proposed Conversions as major unit modifications, reissued amended certificates of public convenience and necessity, and approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider B, for Dominion to recover costs associated with the Conversions. The Biomass Conversion Projects became operational as biomass fueled units as scheduled during 2013.

In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider B 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 $29,080,000 and an Actual Cost True-Up Factor revenue requirement of $25,109,000. Thus, the Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $54,189,000 for service rendered during the 2019 Rate Year.

In addition, in response to the Commission Staff’s (“Staff”) concerns in Case No. PUR-2017-00070 (“2017 Annual Update”), Dominion introduces an adjustment to the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, referred to as the Interim True-Up Factor, related to renewable energy certificates (“RECs”) and production tax credits (“PTCs”), which will credit to, or recover from, customers any over/under collection of actual projected RECs and PTCs from January 2018 through March 2019. Dominion further represents that the Company’s revenue requirement in this case complies with the 2017 Annual Update directive to address the capital balance discrepancy identified by Staff.

For purposes of calculating the Projected Cost Recovery Factor in this case, Dominion used a rate of return on common equity (“ROE”) of 9.2%, which comprises the general ROE approved by the Commission in its Final Order in Case No. PUR-2017-00038. For purposes of calculating the Actual Cost True-Up Factor, the Company used an ROE of 11.6% 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-2015-00058, plus the 200 basis point enhanced return; an ROE of 11.4% 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-2016-00059, plus the 200 basis point enhanced return; and an ROE of 11.2% 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 200 basis point enhanced return.

If the proposed Rider B 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 B on April 1, 2019, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.26.

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 B rates in accordance with the same methodology as used for rates approved by the Commission in the most recent 2017 Annual Update.

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 28, 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 Staff.

Aged to perfection The Grapevine celebrates 5th anniversary

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

On July 1, 2013, Dan and Mary Kutruff pulled the cork on a dream and opened their own wine shop.

Their figurative wine glasses have been swirling ever since.

It’s no slight achievement for a small business to light five candles in honor of steady growth. A full 50 percent shutter their doors by the fifth year.

In preparation for going for the gold, Dan Kutruff spent 20 years in the airline industry and then paved the way to wine proprietorship by pouring wines for a distributor and subsequently recommending and selling wines at Wegmans in Gainesville.

While it was fun and educational working for a major grocery chain, Kutruff realized he not only wanted to describe wines to prospective buyers but actually select them.

“It was not as rewarding as I thought it would be,” said Kutruff.

If that sounds like an entrepreneur speaking, you’ll understand his obvious next move was to own his own wine world. “This is what I was meant to do.”

By the time the opportunity arose to buy the turnkey shop in Warrenton, his bona fides had been well-established. It made his foray into the industry easier by purchasing an existing business rather than starting from scratch.

Once he opened, he immediately began reshaping the shop to his own vision. He installed a new floor, repainted and rearranged retail space allowing for more product display. With 1,000 square feet of space to work with, it was critical for profitability to maximize the presentation area.

The shop layout, “has to not only be designed right it must be ergonomically correct when selling and pouring in an area where every square foot of space is retail gold,” said Kutruff.

So, does Fauquier County have a defined wine profile? Not at all said Kutruff, “Diversity is how I would describe our customers’ wine preferences. That’s what makes my job so much fun. I have a penchant for trying to cater to different palates.

We don’t sell things just because. We want to make our customers happy.”

Fiscal success

From the start, the Kutruffs divided responsibilities based on skillsets.

Mary works in the finance industry but became the de facto CFO. “She is an invaluable asset. She handles all of the shops finances in-

Sometimes she fills in at the cash register in a pinch,” Dan Kutruff said.

As CEO, Dan makes all the daily executive decisions on product line selections, purchases and display setups and is the face of The Grapevine.

One investment that paid handsome dividends is a software program called LiquorPOS installed over a year ago. It was created for the beverage industry and is supported by his credit card platform company.

Prior to its installation, sales were tracked by cash register.

“It was very frustrating. We had some clerical errors in sales transactions and monthly and quarterly re-

Now with the press of a button all the required daily, monthly and quarterly reports are produced automatically.”

It’s also enabled the Kutruffs to get a grip on their tax burdens and plan accordingly. Timely payment of taxes is critical. The first year they operated at a loss, but the second year saw “outstanding, stellar” revenue growth.

“Then it came time to pay the taxes and our reaction was ‘we owe what?’ said Kutruff. “It was a big sticker shock as to how much taxes we actually had to pay. As a small business you must See GRAPEVINE, Page 22

definitely get a grip on your taxes.”

“But we are now fully in the 21st century with our POS system. All the wine, beer, cigars and other products are barcoded and sales, inventory, profit margins and tax reports are readily available. We are happy with it.”

A unique aspect of the liquor business is the cash-on-delivery system.

For example, when a vendor delivers two cases of wine or beer, Kutruff must write a check on the spot. And if the product doesn’t move, there’s no returning it.

The model forces him to closely monitor what sells and what doesn’t and to keep inventories in balance with cash outlays.

“A big part of the learning process is managing your cash flow,” Kutruff said.

Did all the infrastructure and financial changes and real-time experience make a difference?

“For me, an important part of our success is that not one dollar from our personal finances went into the shop. And we’ve been profitable the last four years. That’s key to the startup of a successful company.”

Marketing

In explaining how he attracts new customers Kutruff said, “The biggest thing is word of mouth.” When he left

Wegmans, word spread that he had opened the shop in Warrenton. Many of those customers lived in town and let friends know his expertise was now just minutes away. This loyal base and new adherents drove sales up.

He acknowledges, however, the need to tap into a new demographic.

Currently his base is typically 40 years old and up. He’s investigating expanding his social media presence beyond Facebook. Twitter, Snapchat and other younger-oriented media venues have the potential to further grow business.

Online presence is now the tsunami of retailing. Failure to actively engage it would be irresponsible and costly.

Interestingly, his 100-square-foot, walk-in humidor does not generate a significant volume of collateral wine and beer sales. His cigar demographics are scatted across a wide age group and acts as an adjunct to sales on slow days.

“Monday and Tuesdays are generally slow, but we have a lot of cigar smoking golfers helping supplement shop revenue on those days,” Kutruff said. “That humidor is gold.”

Future

The entrepreneur currently has no plans to open a second location. The shopping center where he’s located is on the market and he will wait and see how, or if, any possible changes shake out.

He underscores the obvious secret of running a small business is hard work.

“As the face of the business, I need to be here. A lot of customers get upset when I’m not. My employees are great, but people come to see me and get my recommendations.

That’s not to toot my own horn. But if I wasn’t here, this place wouldn’t work as well,” Kutruff said.

Let’s do the numbers:

• 600 wines ranging from $7.99 to $110 • Emphasis on quality bottlings in the $10 to $15 range • 140 cigar selections from the world’s top producers • 90 different craft beers, ciders and meads

Hours:

Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Friday-Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m.

Closed Sundays Free wine tastings on Saturdays But rest easy Warrenton, Dan and Mary’s Kutruff’s abiding goal is to create an everyday wine shop where social libation fans can stop by for a companion to their evening meal or weekend party.

Latest news of this season’s true taste of summer... corn

By Vicky Moon

Yankey Farms

Contributing Writer

The latest reports on this season’s sweet corn crop are mixed. Grown throughout the state, sweet and white corn are especially popular.

Both are typically available between mid-June and mid-October.

At Yankey Farm’s Glenkirk Stand in Nokesville, they sell “tender sweet corn” for $6 per dozen. The best corn will be available mid-July. Although they are not strictly an organic farm, they do use organic fertilizer sources such as manure, compost and cover crops to provide their crops with nutrients. They also use some commercial fertilizer.

In Fauquier, Jimmy Messick of Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton, expects his sweet corn to be ready in about two weeks.

“It’s just starting to silk,” he said.

When ready, it will sell for $5-6 for one dozen ears.

Cows-n-Corn in Midland has scheduled a late summer Sweet Corn Festival on Aug. 18. And in the fall, they will have a corn maze.

Mike Cullipher and his father, Louis, grow six different sweet corn varieties on Cullipher Farms in Virginia Beach. He said they planted the corn a little later this year because of cold weather, but the crop is growing quickly. He anticipates picking the first ears this weekend.

“We have been fortunate to have

just the right amount of rain for the last six weeks,” Cullipher noted. His family sells the corn at their on-farm market, two farmers markets and through a CSA program.

Botetourt County farmer Michael Beahm said cold weather followed by excessive rain made it difficult to plant his 2 acres of sweet corn this season.

“I just finished my second planting Saturday,” Beahm said. “The first planting is as poor-looking as any corn I’ve raised.”

Despite that, he anticipates the first crop of white sweet corn to be ready for picking in about three weeks.

Bob French, part-owner of his family’s Sunny Side Farms in Cumberland County, said the weather hasn’t hindered his crop this year, and he anticipates his sweet corn will be ready to pick this weekend as well.

French’s family has been growing about 10 acres of sweet corn for the past 30 years. They currently plant the most up-to-date variety of white

sweet corn and sell it at their farm and at markets in Dillwyn and Powhatan.

“Our customers have been asking for three weeks when the corn will be ready,” French remarked.

He went on to explain that other crops associated with summer – like tomatoes – have a longer season because of greenhouse and high-tunnel production. “Sweet corn is really difficult to grow outside the warm summer months” so it’s only available primarily during the summer months.

French added that customers buying local sweet corn know that it’s fresh. “We pick before dawn and when our customers buy our corn, it’s just a few hours after we’ve picked it.”

Fauquier County Fair a labor of love for the community It’s all about family, friends and fun

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Once again, the Fauquier County Fair will hold its annual get together showcasing all things agricultural and much more. Spread over four days -- July 11-14-- there will be more than 100 events packed into one of the most successful county fairs in Virginia.

The schedule features an array of activities including: poultry shows, bike rodeos, pedal tractor pulls, cattle shows, extreme illusions and escape demonstrations, comedy shows, rodeos, ATV rodeos, hot dog and pizza eating contests to mention a mere handful.

The history of county fairs dates to the early 1800s when rural folk gathered together for community cohesion and to show off their hardearned crafts, produce and livestock.

Today, there are some 3,200 fairs nationwide generating 3 million attendees. Given that America’s agrarian past has largely faded from the scene, it’s remarkable the concept that celebrations of all things farmlike endure and thrive.

Much of that success can be traced to the passion of fair organizers and volunteers who intuitively know the value of young people being involved in something bigger

than themselves.

Smiling youngsters adjusting displays, grooming livestock or displaying craft projects are a refreshing counter to the ubiquitous mobile devices locked in the hands of many of today’s youth.

“I think the only reason we do it is for the kids,” said Brenda Rich, president of the Fauquier Fair. She’s held the position for 20 years. “It takes a lot of work, but it makes the kids so happy.

People call us in January to find out the dates for the next fair so there’s no conflict in their planning vacations.”

Rich also says the makeup of the board of directors is important. For a while it consisted of older, experienced hands, but the organization has worked hard to get a younger cohort to join.

“We’ve been fortunate to incorporate a bunch of young blood onto the board. That’s really good.”

So how much work is involved for these dedicated board members?

“We start planning for next year’s fair on the last day of the current one.

Both board members and volunteers contribute thousands of hours of work each year,” Rich said. With 30 members of the board of directors and more than 100 volunteers on-site at each fair, the work gets done in a spirit of cooperative joy.

“All of us are out to entertain the public and promote agriculture,” said Rich.

The association helps achieve those goals.

As backdrop to the exhibits and demonstrations there are 13 food vendors and 60 craft vendors creating a carnival-like atmosphere.

Burgers, fries, fried chicken, pizza, brats and specialty dishes nourish the crowd as they shop at craft tents and visit agricultural and livestock displays.

As expected, weather plays a role, too. Attendance over the four days is anticipated to be around 12,000.

However, rain or heat can affect those numbers. “Heat is worse than rain,” said Rich adding, “if you have a heat index over 100 degrees there will be less of a crowd.” The index is a combination of heat and humidity.

In a nod to modernity, youth who display small animals or craft projects do not have to reside on a farm.

“You don’t need to live on a farm to appreciate agriculture,” Rich said.

Youth who live in subdivisions can easily raise rabbits or other small animals, create art, photography, garden crops, flowers and more.

The 45 to 50 judges who award ribbons are also volunteers. “Once in a while a professional judge is paid to judge an animal show,” said Rich.

Such a person would be the only financially compensated individual over the entire four days.

In reflecting on what the fair contributes to Fauquier County, Rich said, “Seeing these kids walking around with big smiles on their faces and carrying rabbits and chickens in their arms, marching in the chicken parade, competing in the zucchini car race, or washing and grooming their cows and calves is so exciting.”

She believes the youthful energy is given back to the county in the form of future productive adults.

The Fauquier Country Fair will be held on its 10-acre fair grounds at 6209 Old Auburn Road. Fair hours are: • Wednesday, July 11, 2 to 11 p.m.

• Thursday, July 12, 2 to 11 p.m.

• Friday, July 13, 2 to 11 p.m.

• Saturday, July 14, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Adult admission is $10; children and seniors $5. Babes in arms are free.

Ask the Arborist

Jamie Wood Greg Bradshaw Shane Wagoner

I.S.A. Certified Arborists FIREBLIGHT Fireblight is a very destructive disease on many species in the rose family, including pear, crabapple, cotoneaster, mountain ash, hawthorn, pyrancantha, spirea and rose. Depending on the plant, cultural practices performed, and spring weather conditions, damage can range from death of one or more branch terminals to severe branch mortality and complete death of the plant.

The most characteristic and easily observed symptoms are wilting and blackening or browning of the blossoms and leaves on the terminal shoots. The affected plant parts remain attached to the terminal and appear as though scorched by fire. A brown ooze develops at the site of these cankers during moist, warm weather.

The disease is caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora. The organism overwinters in branch cankers at the margins of living and dead tissue. Wind, rain-splash and insects are responsible for the initial transport of the bacteria from cankers to open blossoms, the primary infection site.

Control of fireblight is difficult and requires a comprehensive program of sanitation, proper cultural practices, and spray applications in order that satisfactory result are attained. If you have any questions or comments, or any other questions concerning plant healthcare, please call us at (540) 364-2401 or 1-(877)-Bartlett.

Fauquier Times | July 4, 2018

Join us for Family Day at the Bealeton Library Enjoy an afternoon with family, friends and neighbors at the second annual Family Day at the Library, Sunday, July 8 from 1 - 3 p.m. at the Bealeton branch library. The afternoon will include all the hallmarks of summer - barbecue, music, lawn games - even a sidewalk book sale.

The entire community is invited.

Barbecue lunches will be sold by the Bealeton-Remington Ruritan Club; lunch reservations are encouraged but not required. Call 540-4228500 ext., 3 to reserve yours. Each lunch includes pulled pork with a roll, baked beans, cole slaw and chips for $10 (sale proceeds benefit Bealeton-Remington Ruritan Club). Bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit back to enjoy the sounds of local country/ folk trio, The Virginia Bluebelles, as they perform traditional and familiar tunes. Stroll around the library grounds, try your hand at a few lawn games and stop by the sidewalk book sale to take home a few reasonably-priced reading treasures.

Family Day at the Library is part of the Sunday with the Library series - monthly programs for adults and families sponsored by Fauquier County Public Library and Friends of the Fauquier Library. Mark your calendar for our August program – Tin Pan Alley Cats, a Vintage Con-

cert, Sunday, Aug.12 at the John Barton Payne Building, 2 Courthouse Square, Warrenton. Visit fauquierlibrary.org for a full list of Sunday with the Library programs.

Here are a few resources to help throw your own backyard bash from lawn games to barbecue – compiled by Bealeton library staff. For other suggestions, stop by the reference desk at your local library.
