Scandals rock Richmond

Governor, Lt. Governor navigate controversies By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Despite calls for his resignation from elected officials of both parties from across the commonwealth, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam stubbornly clung to power this week, refusing

to resign over a racist photograph that appeared in his 1984 medical school yearbook and vowing instead to lead an effort toward racial reconciliation. “I cannot in good conscious choose the path that would be easier for me in an effort to duck my responsibility to reconcile,” Northam (D) said in a 40-minute news conference from the governor’s mansion Saturday. “I believe this moment can be the first small step to open a discussion

about these difficult issues and how they contribute to the greater racism and discrimination that defines so much of our history.” Northam sought to explain to the nation Feb. 2 why he first apologized Friday for appearing in the offensive picture in his Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook, which depicted one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan hood, and then said he wasn’t in the picture after all.

Rosenwald students remember Fauquier’s all-black schools By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

There was no central heating in Fauquier County’s all-black schools. Most were one-room schoolhouses without indoor plumbing. On Saturday, Linda Reed Jolley, of Crest Hill, shared these and other early childhood memories at a screening of the film “Rosenwald” at the Afro-American Historical Association in The Plains. The movie tells the story of Sears & Roebuck co-owner Julius Rosenwald, a philanthropist who helped build more than 5,300 schools for black children across the South. Fauquier County had eight Rosenwald schools. They comprised half of the allblack schools in the area during the first half of the 20th century. Jolley started off as a first grader at the Orlean School in 1959 and stayed until 1961. “Orlean was a one-room schoolhouse See ROSENWALD, Page 5

St. James’ School celebrates expansion By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

It’s been seven years in the making, but 2019 marks the beginning of a new journey for the students, staff, administrators, board members and the community at St. James Episcopal School. On Sunday, Jan. 27, the ribbon was officially cut as a large crowd waited to tour the new education wing, which completed a renovation project started in 2012 with an anonymous gift to secure an architect. The years following brought in a new rector in 2013, the Right Rev. Ben Maas, and the formation of a master planning process. In the fall of 2017, the official groundbreaking ceremony was held. Construction continued through 2018, culminating in a huge Christmas gift as the

work completed in December. The new 5,000-square-foot expansion adds five new classrooms serving students in grades one through five. Two preschool classrooms were upgraded to include bathrooms and sinks. Second-floor renovations include expanded access and lighting to ramps and hallways, a permanent home for the hand-bell practice room and a new choir/music room. The air was cold with a chilly wind blowing that Sunday, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of those attending. Ben Maas and Head of School Stacey Irvin thanked all who were responsible for making the expansion happen from campaign committee members to donors to local businesses and consultants who provided in kind support.

A special shout-out was extended to Tom Moore, a member of the congregation from 1969 until his death in 2014. Moore, who is remembered for his generous and humble ministries, remembered Saint James’ in his estate plans. His bequest to Saint James’ provided the first contribution to the Connected Capital Campaign. The Right Rev. Edwin F. Gulick Jr. offered the blessing. Gulick is a retired assistant bishop of Virginia. He and his wife Barbara are members at St. James. “Bless every child that enters into this new space,” said a smiling Gulick as the ribbon was cut and the tour of the new space began. Saint James’ Episcopal School serves preschool through grade 5. Applications for the 2019-2020 school year are now being accepted.

Two charged in grandparent fraud case, thanks to Delaplane woman Two New York men are facing charges in connection with the all-too-familiar grandparent fraud scheme, which a Delaplane woman recently reported to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies took a report of “a scam in progress” on Thursday, Jan. 21, Sgt. James Hartman, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said in a news release.

The Delaplane resident reported that she received a phone call from someone claiming to be her grandson, who said “he had been in a car crash and needed money” and was now in jail in Atlanta, Georgia, Hartman said. “The caller stated he suffered a broken nose and that is why his voice sounded different when questioned by the victim,” Hartman said in the

news release. The woman then received another phone call from someone who claimed to be from “the local public defender’s office and a ‘good faith deposit’ of $7,500.00 was arranged to help the grandson,” Hartman said in the news release. The victim agreed to an arrangement that involved an overnight delivery by UPS of cash to an address in Brooklyn, but then “received several more phone calls attempting to extort $15,000.00 more in cash,” Hartman said in the news release. The woman told deputies she believed at that point it might be a scam and called her grandson. She found out he was home, not in Georgia, had not been in a car crash and was fine, Hartman said. The victim then sent an email to Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier asking for help, the news release said. Detective Strick Payne worked with the police in Stamford, Connecticut, to organize the delivery of a package to the address the woman was given, Hartman said in the news release. On Saturday, Stamford police reported to the Fauquier County Sher-

Stamford police attempted to stop the men and a pursuit ensued before the men were eventually taken into custody, Hartman said. The two men, identified by Stamford police as Hector Rivera, 25, and Eduardo Santos-Cruz, 26, were arrested. Rivera was charged with conspiracy to commit larceny, attempted larceny, forgery, engaging in a police pursuit, reckless operation and interfering with police, according to Stamford police. Santos-Cruz was charged with conspiracy to commit larceny and attempted larceny. The investigation in Fauquier County continues, Hartman said.

Jeck to ask for $8 million to fix teacher salary scale By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Fauquier teachers are underpaid compared to surrounding counties, a problem Superintendent David Jeck attributes to the decade-old decision to abandon the “step” pay scale for teachers. That move, initially made to help Fauquier County weather the Great Recession, has resulted in pay “compression” within the teaching ranks, meaning that salaries have essentially stalled for mid-career teachers. To address the problem, Jeck said he’ll likely include an extra $8 million toward teacher salaries in the budget he presents to the school board Feb. 11. “What people can expect from me is a very aggressive approach to dealing with the compression issue and being creative and pulling all the levers we can in order to address this problem,” Jeck said. “Our estimate to fix the compression problem, which means to be on par with teacher salaries in the region, is about $8 million.” Fauquier is losing teachers “to Loudoun, Prince William, Arlington, Fairfax…to counties 20 and 30 minutes away that can pay $10,000 more than we can,” Jeck added. The step teacher salary scale, similar to that used by the federal government, lists salary levels based on education and experience levels and offers automatic salary increas-

es as teachers add years of experience or additional schooling. Jeck said the school division’s salaries are low compared to the David Jeck county’s relative wealth, according to a study by the Virginia General Assembly’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission. The study ranked Fauquier County’s teacher salaries at 127 out of 132 school divisions in the state on that measure, Jeck said. “[We scored so low] not necessarily because salaries are terrible but because compared to the counties we are losing our teachers to, our salaries are poor,” Jeck said.

Teacher turnover

Fauquier schools began with 12 fewer teachers than slots this year, far short of the 127 Prince William experienced. But it is large number for a 20-school division, Jeck said. “A handful” of those positions remain unfilled. But even more concerning was last year’s teacher-turnover rate. While a 7- or 8-percent teacher turnover rate is normal, last year the number hit 12 percent, “which is scary,” Jeck said. About 2 percent of the teachers were lost to retirement, 9.9-percent left for better salaries elsewhere, Jeck said. The school division’s com-

pressed salaries contribute to the problem, Jeck said. “When you are losing people at the top of the pay scale who are retiring, and Fauquier County has a high percentage of experienced teachers nearing retirement age, you are replacing them with people at the bottom of the scale. And when you are not giving consistent raises [across the board], then all of a sudden you are compressed,” Jeck said. “We have to fix the problem with our pay scale, and we have to reimplement the step system, or we will be back here in 10 years talking about compression again.” The school board paid the Virginia Association of School Superintendents $18,000 to mine the numbers and make recommendations, which were included in a Jan. 18 report. The next lowest offer for such a study was $60,000. Gov. Ralph Northam’s proposed state budget, which offers a 5-percent teacher salary bump, would help Fauquier County fill its salary gap, but the money would only go so far. For one thing, the increase would apply only to the number of teachers the state deems necessary according to its “standards of quality.” Most school divisions, including Fauquier County, exceed the state’s minimum requirements for teachers. “This is what is frustrating about Virginia politics,” Jeck said. “When you get a figure from the state, you

have to peel the layers of the onion. First of all, the 5-percent raise is over two years. We just gave our teachers a 3-percent raise. So, for us to get any of that money [from the state] we need to give teachers at least a 2-percent raise next year,” Jeck said. Ultimately, the amount the state sends the school division is tied to the county’s “composite index,” a measure of the locality’s ability to pay. Fauquier County’s composite index is .61 of 100. The higher the index, the more money the locality must contribute, Jeck said. Jeck noted that “87 to 88 percent” of the school division budget goes to people in the way of salary and benefits. The rest, about 12 to 13 percent, pays for everything else: transportation, food service, infrastructure and maintenance, books, technology. “My budget this year is most definitely going to show that we love our people, Jeck said. “I think you are going to see many different levers pulled in order to address this compression issue, not all of them having to do with money. We’ve got to do more to attract and retain quality instructional staff. We can’t afford to lose any more good teachers.” Jeck will present his budget to the Fauquier County School Board on Monday, Feb. 11. The board will meet at 7 p.m. in the Falcon Room at Fauquier High School. Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

Scandals rock Richmond: Governor, Lt. Governor navigate controversies NORTHAM, from Page 1 Northam said he is now “convinced” he isn’t in the picture and has vowed to try to prove it by investigating the matter with the help of former classmates. During the press conference, Northam also revealed that he darkened his face “with just a little bit of shoe polish” to dress up as Michael Jackson for a dance contest in Texas. That incident occurred later in 1984, the same year Northam graduated from medical school. Northam said he now understands that such actions are offensive and that coloring his face was a mistake. By the time Northam reached the podium about 2:30 p.m., calls for his resignation had been issued by nearly every member of the state General Assembly, as communicated through their parties’ House and Senate caucuses. Also calling for Northam to step down were several Democratic candidates for president as well as former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, for whom Northam served as lieutenant governor from 2014 to 2017, before Northam won his own campaign for the state’s highest office with 54 percent of the vote. After the press conference, Virginia’s U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine also called on Northam to resign while Virginia’s congressional members reiterated their earlier stances.

Fairfax scandal erupts

Then, after a one-day lull on Super Bowl Sunday, the second scandal hit early Monday, Feb. 4. At 3 a.m., Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax issued a statement denying what he called “a false and unsubstantiated allegation” aired on Big League Politics, the same conservative online news outlet that broke the story Friday about the photo on Northam’s yearbook page. The story was based on a vague social media post in which a woman suggested she was sexually assaulted by a person who won statewide office in 2017 and is about to get “a

Fairfax’s statement said the Washington Post had “investigated the claim for several months” around the time of Fairfax’s inauguration but declined to publish anything about it because of an inability to corroborate it. Fairfax “categorically den[ies]” any part of the allegation, Lauren Burke, his press secretary, said Monday morning. “They met briefly,” Burke added of Fairfax and the woman who made the post. An attempt to reach the woman who made the social media post was not immediately successful Monday. Fairfax later told reporters in Richmond the encounter occurred at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, when Fairfax was single, and was “100-percent consensual.” The Washington Post detailed the woman’s story Monday, saying she told them Fairfax forced her to perform a sex act. But the paper’s account said reporters were unable to corroborate either the woman’s story or Fairfax’s version of the event and could neither find evidence of any similar allegations against the lieutenant governor. The paper disputed Fairfax’s statement, however, on one point, saying reporters had not found “in-

consistencies” or “red flags” in the woman’s allegation, only that they could not independently confirm either account. Fairfax called the allegation a smear and hinted it might be the work of those who don’t want him to replace Northam. “Does anybody think it’s any coincidence that on the eve of potentially my being elevated, that that’s when this uncorroborated smear comes out?” Fairfax said during a press gaggle at the state Capitol Monday afternoon that was videotaped by reporters. Fairfax reportedly later said he had “no indication” the allegation was pushed by the governor or his office. Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, said a televised interview Monday night that Northam is believed to be taking his time to resign. “Virtually everyone except the governor has accepted that he will resign. The debate now, at least for people outside the governor, is when he should do it,” Sabato said. “They’re talking about giving him some space and some time to adjust. … We’re not talking about months. We’re talking about a short period of time.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Who is Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax? By Owen FitzGerald Capital News Service

Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, a private attorney and former federal prosecutor, is poised to become the 74th governor of Virginia if Gov. Ralph Northam resigns amid the storm of controversy that enveloped Richmond this week. That would make Fairfax, 39, the second African-American governor in Virginia’s history and just the fourth to hold the office nationwide in recent years. In 1990, L. Douglas Wilder became the first elected African-American governor in the United States. Like Northam, Fairfax is a Democrat. He ran for lieutenant governor in 2017, defeating the Republican nominee, state Sen. Jill Vogel of Fauquier County. This is Fairfax’s first term in elected office. Fairfax, who was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a descendent of Virginia slaves. When he

PUBLIC SAFETY

was sworn into office, Fairfax was carrying in his breast pocket the manumission papers that freed his great-great-great-grandfather. He is a graduate of Duke University and Columbia Law School and in 2013 won the National Bar Association’s “Nation’s Best Advocates Award,” which recognizes 40 top attorneys nationwide under the age of 40. He and his wife Cerina Fairfax, a dentist, live in Annandale with their two young children. In a statement following the Northam’s Saturday press conference, Fairfax did not join other Democrats calling for the governor’s resignation. Fairfax said of Northam: “While his career has been marked by service to children, soldiers and constituents, I cannot condone the actions from his past that, at the very least, suggest a comfort with Virginia’s darker history of white supremacy, racial stereotyping and intimidation.” As lieutenant governor, Fairfax is

the presiding officer in the Virginia Senate. Republicans have a 21-19 advantage over Democrats in the Senate. The lieutenant governor votes only in the case of a tie. Under the Virginia Constitution, if Fairfax succeeds Northam, the Senate’s president pro tempore would serve as the Senate’s presiding officer. That position is currently held by Republican Sen. Stephen Newman of Bedford. Newman issued a statement Saturday saying that “my wife and I have asked God to give our Governor wisdom in the coming hours, and for the health, clarity and resolve to do the right thing for the people of Virginia.”

Two Warrenton men were arrested and charged with distributing cocaine and a woman was arrested during a traffic stop and faces drug charges as a result, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office reported. Ronald Eugene Kidwell, 55, and Michael Minor, 31, were both charged with distribution of cocaine and conspiracy to commit a felony on Saturday, Jan. 26. Kidwell was additionally charged with possession of cocaine, the sheriff’s office reported. Michael Minor, 31, of Warrenton, was charged with distribution of cocaine and conspiracy to commit a felony. Both men were held without bond at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center following their arrests. The arrests of Kidwell and Minor came after an investigation of distribution of narcotics in the New Baltimore area by Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office detectives and the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force, the sheriff’s office reported. On Monday, Jan. 28, about 7:30 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office stopped a speeding red four-door Chevrolet in the 5900 block of Blantyre Road in the Warrenton area. Marijuana and crack cocaine were found during the stop. Darian Michelle Royal, 25, of Broad Run, was taken into custody. Royal was charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine and defective equipment. Royal was held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center with no bond.

Chimney fire displaces two Catlett residents A chimney fire that spread to the attic of a Catlett home displaced two adult residents early Thursday afternoon, according to Fauquier County fire officials. The fire was reported at 12:27 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, at a single-story home in the 4500 block of Catlett Road. The firefighters arrived to find fire on the exterior of the home as well as in the attic, causing “moderate” damage, Fauquier County Fire and Rescue Acting Battalion Chief Fred McEvilly said. The Fauquier County Fire and Rescue units were assisted by firefighters from the Catlett, Lois, Warrenton, North Baltimore and Remington fire stations, McEvilly said. Firefighters made quick work of the blaze, extinguishing it in about 15 minutes, McEvilly said.

Judge Jeffery Parker to retire this fall By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Tackling some home-upkeep chores, maybe a little sailing, working on his 1940 Cadillac LaSalle, golfing. Jeffrey Parker could do any or all of those once he steps down from his job as judge of the 20th Circuit Court. Parker is based in Warrenton and hears cases filed in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. He will have served more than 18 years when he retires on Oct. 31. Judges serve eight-year terms and Parker is leaving before his current term is up. He turns 67 in March. The Virginia General Assembly makes judicial appointments and will choose Parker’s successor. “I announced it now so that the General Assembly has time to appoint a replacement. I hope when I walk out that a successor will step in. I think

you need the stability of a full-time resident judge,” Parker said during an interview in his office Friday, Feb. 1. The Virginia state legislature’s Joint Courts of Justice Committee will interview applicants for the position and recommend a replacement. Parker informed state Sen. Mark Obenshain, R-26th, who heads the committee, and local state legislators by letter about his retirement decision last week. The circuit court is the highest trial court in the Virginia court system, Parker explained. “It’s the court of record. It handles jury trials, felonies, divorces,” he said. It also hears board of zoning appeals cases, civil cases involving claims seeking damages and appeals from general district court. Because of its population size, Loudoun County has three – and soon to be four – circuit court judges. Fauquier Commonwealth’s Attorney James

Rosenwald schools in Fauquier County

ROSENWALD, from Page 1 with 24 to 34 students and one teacher. I didn’t know it was a Rosenwald school. I just knew it as the colored school… It was pretty chilly in the winter,” Jolley said. “…I was almost 7 when I started school. Up until then I always went barefoot. I got my first pair of shoes when I started school.”

Who was J.R. Rosenwald?

The son of Jewish immigrants, Julius Rosenwald was struck by the problems facing black Americans. In the film, his descendants explain that Americans looked down on the Russians for what they did to Jewish communities, but the same was happening to African Americans after the Civil War. Rosenwald was quoted saying, “As a member of a despised minority, I understand the black experience.” The film is full of stories about the influence of “J.R.” on black communities, artists and entertainers. The Rosenwald Fund helped support writers Ralph Ellison, Langston Hughes and W.E.B. Du Bois; contralto Marian Anderson; and photographer Gordon Parks, among many others. First lady Eleanor Roosevelt was at one time on the Rosenwald Foundation Board of Directors. Inspired by Booker T. Washington and others, Rosenwald was dedicated to ensuring black Americans had access to a good education.

Fauquier’s Rosenwald schools

After the Feb. 2 screening, Jolley spoke to about 40 audience members about her experience as a student at a Rosenwald school in Orlean. Jol-

Fisher recently was appointed as the fourth circuit court judge for Loudoun. Parker thinks judges in Virginia “breathe a collective sigh of relief they don’t have to go through what others have to go through to get elected” – raising money to finance a campaign. “I think that’s one of the reasons why there is no, or little judicial corruption” in Virginia, he said. Parker was an attorney in private practice before he sought appointment to the bench. He was born in Boise, Idaho (“I left after six months and haven’t been back,” he says), received an undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan and a law degree from Washington and Lee University. Parker said he didn’t enter college with the goal of being a lawyer. If there hadn’t been a recession, “it looked like I was on the fast track for a management position with Michigan Bell Telephone,” he said. The more he

ley also attended Hume Elementary, which was an all-black school but not a Rosenwald School. When the Hume school closed, she moved to Northwestern, which is now known as Claude Thompson Elementary. Jolley recalled, “I remember when Fauquier High School was integrated. I was getting ready for the eighth or the ninth grade and I had never been to a white school before. I had put down that I wanted to go to Taylor [High School]. “On the first day of school I got on the bus, and they took us to Taylor. When we got there, they said, ‘wait, you should be at Fauquier High,’” she recalled. “I think they thought we were white. My cousins and I, and our friends, are light-skinned. So they kept us in the library all day, trying to figure out what to do with us. Eventually, they took us to Fauquier.” Jolley said she spent 27 years in the U.S. Army. “My first seven years were as a Women’s Army Corps enlisted person before I got out to attend nursing school under the G.I. Bill in 1981,” she said. Jolley earned a bachelor’s degree in nursing and her master’s at the University of Virginia. She became a nurse practitioner for the U.S. Army and retired as a lieutenant colonel. She went on to teach nurses at Lord Fairfax Community College in

Routts Hill School

Ellsworth Weaver, a student at Rosenwald schools from 1946 to 1952, also attended the Feb. 2 screening. Weaver started at Routts Hill in Bealeton when he was 5 or 6 years old. He attended Rosenwald School in Warrenton and graduated in 1956 from Taylor High School when he was 16. At that time, Taylor was still an all-black school. Weaver, a Remington native, is currently a workforce adjunct professor at Reynolds Community in Richmond.

thought about it, the more he thought the law was the career path for him. “I try to make the best decision I can, and I look forward,” not back, he said when asked if there were things he wished he would have done differently. “I’ve been lucky in some respects and unlucky in others.” He and his wife, Lawrie, live in southern Fauquier County and have a son and two grandchildren living in Warrenton. “I could be happy anywhere doing anything,” Parker said, “[but] I have no desire to leave.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com He has served as an adjunct professor at NOVA Community College, Lord Fairfax Community College and Germanna Community College. Weaver’s career included time spent in Saudi Arabia and in Banjul, Gambia. He was also a technology instructor at Liberty and Fauquier high schools. Weaver recently spoke on “The Slave Dwelling Project” at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day remembrance at AAHA. “My mother, Mrs. Hazel F. Weaver, was my teacher when I attended Routts Hill School in the Foxville community of Bealeton,” he recalled. “She later became a first and seventh grade teacher at the Rosenwald School in Warrenton and was the first principal of Central Elementary in Warrenton.” Weaver said he remembers that Routts Hill had no indoor plumbing. At Rosenwald School in Warrenton, there was only one toilet for everyone, in the basement of one of the complex’s buildings, “for students, teachers, janitors, everyone,” he said. “The floor was always wet because of leaking pipes and would freeze in the winter.” There was no central heat or air conditioning. “I remember one night we had to stay overnight at Routts Hill because there was a snowstorm. There was just one potbelly stove,” he said. Still, Weaver said he has some fond memories of his time in Rosenwald schools. “We had a real feeling of unity about our schools, a tremendous respect,” he said. “It may not have been a fabulous structure, but if the building was cold, we made it warm.” Reach Robin Earl at Rearl@fauquier.com

County mulls new floor for Vint Hill gym

Concrete concerns

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Pickleball players complain of dead spots in the plastic tile floor of the Vint Hill gymnasium, while unicyclists, basketball players and volleyball players say the floor is fine and see no reason to change it. Caught in the middle is the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department, which operates the Vint Hill Village Green Community Center where the gym is located. The department recently delayed a plan to pull up the tiles and are now conducting a study to help them decide what to do next. Larry Miller, director of the parks and recreation department, said “numerous communications of concern” were expressed about the planned temporary removal of the floor, a snap-together material that Miller said is easy to remove and re-install. While the floor’s removal has been put on hold for now, it will be necessary to pull up the floor for up to a week, at least twice during the next six to nine months. “The study is intended to investigate options that will hopefully address the needs of all users of the center and will include efforts to make the tile floor function bet-

In an effort to keep all parties informed, more information about the study and its progress will be posted on the department’s website starting in this month, Miller said. The results of the study will go to the parks and recreation board sometime this fall.

Pickleball players see problems

Pickleball combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. It can be played indoors and outside on a court with a net between players playing singles or doubles. They use paddles to strike a ball that resembles a wiffle ball. “These tiles were not manufac-

tured to satisfy multiple sports,” said Bob Najjar, president of the Fauquier County Pickleball Association. “There are dead spots. The ball hits the floor and doesn’t come up. The reason is, the floor is not level.” Beneath the interlocking plastic tiles, a rubber overlay sits on the original concrete floor. Had the floor been leveled before it was covered, there wouldn’t be a problem, Najjar said. “One option is to just level the [concrete] floor,” said Najjar, who has been agitating for a remedy for more than three years. Basketball and volleyball players use a larger ball and aren’t complaining about dead spots and don’t want to see their access to the gym disrupted by an attempt to improve a floor that suits them fine.

“Absolutely there can be a win-win” that satisfies everyone, said Linda McLaughlin, who teaches a unicycle class in the Vint Hill gym. Her group doesn’t have a problem with the plastic tile surface. A solution shouldn’t disrupt use of the gym, however, she said. She’s concerned tiles could be damaged during the process of pulling it up. She and others also don’t want to go back to using a concrete floor, which they say is hard on knees and legs. “This is not healthy for kids to be bouncing up and down on,” she said of the concrete floor. Najjar said 14 to 20 people show up to play pickleball at the Vint Hill Village Green Community Center. Nets are set up to create three pickleball courts. Najjar said the game appeals to older players, especially those who spent years playing more physically taxing sports like tennis. They play to win but “we keep it at a social level so that when they go home, they’re still talking to each other,” Najjar said. The pickleballers have reserved space on the gym floor from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Wednesday and Friday. There are other times reserved for open gym, youth open gym and open activities. McLaughlin notes the relatively small number of people who play pickleball compared to more than 100 who use the gym floor for other activities and aren’t bothered by dead spots. Miller said “every effort will be made to allow use while the study is underway.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Lawmakers, victims press for stronger distracted driving law

Advocates for HB 1811 gathered to promote the passing of the bill to put greater restrictions on using handheld devices while driving in Virginia.

RICHMOND – Teary-eyed parents and supporters of legislation to curb distracted driving filled a small room at the Capitol, some wearing neon yellow traffic vests in solidarity as they offered emotional testimony. Others held framed pictures of loved ones who died in distracted driving crashes. The press conference was to advocate for HB 1811, introduced by Del. Christopher Collins, R-29th, of Frederick. Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th, of Westmoreland, is sponsoring a companion bill, SB 1341, in the Senate. On Jan. 30, the Senate Courts of Justice Committee approved Stuart’s bill on a 13-2 vote with bipartisan support. A co-sponsor of that measure, Sen. Scott Surovell, D-Fairfax, also attended the Jan. 31 press conference. Jennifer Smith, whose mother died in a traffic accident caused by a distracted driver, was among

A subcommittee of the House Courts of Justice Committee last week recommended approval of Collins’ bill. The full committee approved the measure Friday, advancing it to the House floor. Stuart’s bill was also advancing toward the Senate floor earlier this week.

It bears repeating: Northam must resign

Since news broke Friday afternoon on Big League Politics alleging Gov. Ralph Northam appeared in a racist photo on his medical school yearbook page, he has faced increasing pressure to resign. While Northam (D) issued an apology for the 35-year-old photo Friday night, he changed course on Saturday, saying he was not in the photo in question. Later, he admitted to darkening his face to imitate Michael Jackson for a 1984 dance contest but said he would not resign and vowed instead to work toward rebuilding trust with the people of Virginia. As of Monday afternoon, Northam apparently remains steadfast in his refusal to step down. With a heavy heart, we disagree with that decision and urge him to resign. Northam has had a highly successful first year in office. Medicaid expansion, which he personally led, is now providing health care to more than 200,000 additional low-income Virginians. Virginia has maintained its historically low unemployment numbers during his term, and Amazon selected Northern Virginia for one of its new headquarters, a deal expected to bring an estimated 25,000 high-paying jobs to the region over the next decade. Well-liked in both parties, Northam has struck deals across the aisle on several key issues, most recently a pledge from Dominion to recycle or safely bury Virginia’s 27 million cubic yards of toxic coal ash, some of which is sitting on the banks of the Potomac River in Prince William County. Northam also announced last week a deal with Transurban to extend toll lanes to Fredericksburg while addressing a major bottleneck on Interstate 95 near the Occoquan bridge. Northam has spoken out forcefully against white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville and in favor of letting localities make decisions about their Confederate monuments. He threw himself fully into the mid-term elections. In short, he’s been an exemplary governor. We must tread carefully when considering political death penalties for behavior 30 years in the past because we all deserve forgiveness for mistakes when it is sought. We all have past indiscretions. From them, we change, learn and grow. The Fauquier Times’ own offices were used by George Wallace as his Virginia campaign headquarters in 1968, which is certainly not consistent with where this newspaper or community stand today. But while we believe Northam is an honorable man who has done good things for Virginia – and not the man he was in 1984 – this is about the future. Would Amazon have chosen Virginia if it knew these pictures were on the governor’s yearbook page? Would black voters – a key constituency to Northam’s win – vote for him again knowing what they know now? Whether he appeared in the photo in question or not, his clear need to issue an apology, and his subsequent handling of that apology, have left many who considered him an ally to feel betrayed. Those pictures are impossible to “unsee” or forget. They represent a time when white institutions at all levels of society kept black people outside the structures of power, in part by caricaturing them with blackface. In his apology, Northam spoke of rebuilding trust. While we obviously encourage that in his personal journey, the place to do it is not in the commonwealth’s highest office. He faces and almost universal calls to resign. His governorship is compromised. Ralph Northam has done much for Virginia, and now he must again. For the good of the commonwealth, he must step down. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax is a capable man to repair those rifts and help the state move forward.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 50 Years Ago Feb. 13, 1969

Recognized as the top FBLA students enrolled at the Fauquier Technical Center in November 1978 were Tina Gibbons, Kim Engle, Julie Early, Grady Cornett, Raejean Keyser, Mary V. Greyer and Susan Wines. 75 Years Ago Feb. 10, 1944 2nd Lt. Harold McKnight Leazer of Remington has been picked by Army Air Forces experts as having the qualities needed to become commander of four-engine battle craft. He recently completed the pilot transition course on B-24 Liberator bombers at Maxwell Field, Ala. W. H. Armstrong, for the past two years assistant county agent for Fauquier, has resigned to accept an appointment as assistant extension dairyman at V.P. I., Blacksburg. One of Fauquier’s oldest houses was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon when the home of Miss Chloe Cary, located about two miles from Delaplane, caught fire from a defective flue and burned to the ground. The house was built about 150 years ago by James Blackmore, who was granted the acreage by Lord Francis Fauquier. Mrs. J. R. Coppage of Calverton has just received a medal of honor for having served the greatest number of hours as an observation post spotter in the county.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Powell Button of Culpeper announce the engagement of their daughter Emily Warren to William Fitzhugh Brittle Jr., son of William Fitzhugh Brittle of Warrenton and the late Mrs. Marcella Brown Brittle. A summer wedding is planned. Celebrating the 59th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America, members of Troop 161 camped out in front of the clerk’s office on Main St., Warrenton. They stayed Friday night and left Saturday, just in time to escape the snowstorm. Katherine C. Ott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Ott of Bealeton, was selected the Virginia Holstein Girl of the Year for 1968 at the Virginia Holstein annual meeting held Jan. 29 in Roanoke. 25 Years Ago Feb. 9, 1994 According to Fauquier County records, actor Robert Duvall, of “Tender Mercies” and “Lonesome Dove” fame, purchased historic 361-acre Byrnley Farm on Route 626 outside The Plains for $3,650,000 on Jan. 26. No stranger to the Loudoun-Fauquier area, Duvall has lived in the region for some time now. Flanked by Secret Service men and escorted by sculptor Frederick Hart, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter visited Hart’s studio last Thursday afternoon. She had come from Plains, Ga. to see Hart’s sculpture of her husband for the first time. Hart recently completed the statue, which will be dedicated in June and placed in a garden on the State Capitol grounds in Atlanta. –Compiled by John T. Toler

On teacher pay, Fauquier near bottom in Va. Study ranks county 127th of 132 school divisions statewide

By Suzann Sloan and David Jeck We read an editorial recently offering the position that Fauquier County Public School teachers are appropriately compensated as a result of salary increases and bonuses in 15 of the past 18 years. Although the vast majority of the information presented in the editorial is accurate, it is incomplete. The problem is that when you exclude important pieces of information, readers are left with half the story. Thus, we feel compelled to respond on behalf of the Fauquier County schools community. Fauquier County schools stopped providing automatic step increases more than 10 years ago. As a result,

the teacher salary scale is severely compressed, and school divisions to our north and east have flown past us in terms of equitable compensation. In fact, when adjusted for ability to pay, and considering the economic conditions within regions, Fauquier County ranks 127 of 132 school divisions in Virginia, according to a 2015 analysis of salary and teacher license data from the Virginia Department of Education. A teacher with 10 years of experience in Prince William County, one of our biggest and most well-funded competitors, makes $60,327. That same teacher with 10 years of experience in Fauquier County would make $49,555. For FCPS to get within 90 percent of Prince William’s average teacher salary, it would cost approximately $17 million. Virginia currently ranks 34th nationally in terms of teacher sala-

ries. That is roughly an $8,600 salary discrepancy in average teacher pay in Virginia versus the rest of the country. If Northern Virginia were a separate state, the rest of Virginia would rank in the bottom five nationally in teacher compensation. Fauquier County, like most counties and cities in the state, began the year with teacher vacancies. In fact, we still have vacancies because there is a teacher shortage. Fewer and fewer undergraduates are choosing education as a profession while, at the same time, more and more teachers are retiring, and school populations continue to grow. Sorry, but money talks, particularly in this part of the state. Since 2008-09, basic aid, as part of the state budget, increased by 53 percent. However, at the same time, basic aid for K-12 education in Virginia decreased by 3 percent.

We agree entirely that the burden placed on local communities has been too great in providing for school budgets. We feel that the good folks in Richmond understand our problem and are willing to help. Fauquier County has fallen behind others not because the county has been unable or unwilling to help, but because the state has not fulfilled its obligation to appropriately fund public education. We are still below fiscal 2009 state funding levels. Can any other state agency or organization say the same? If you truly believe that teachers are valuable members of our community, then please support Governor Northam’s amendments to Virginia’s budget. Sloan is the president of the Fauquier County School Boars and Jeck is the superintendent of Fauquier County schools.

Let Northam resign when President Trump does An easy way to change presidential elections Gov. Ralph Northam might weather the storm. He’s a progressive governor— opened the door to Medicaid, a longtime proponent of preschool education and other initiatives aimed at helping minorities. He welcomed Amazon to Crystal City and has championed innovative answers to traffic on high-volume interstates 66 and 95. The governor has been to tiny

Fauquier County numerous times. My sense is that he truly cares about the citizens of the commonwealth. Dems and pundits rushing to judgment are conspicuously opportunistic. Who hasn’t done something stupid? Ralph should offer to resign just as soon as President Trump does. Christopher Bonner Warrenton

In thanks for acts of kindness from strangers amid the snowstorm Driving home Wednesday afternoon in the middle of the snow storm, Crest Hill Road, just west of Marshall, was a mess. Several cars slid off the road, making parts of the road effectively one lane. A deputy was there but no one really knew what was going on. Traffic kept stopping. A van and I ended up having to stop while going up a hill. The van started sliding backward in the snow, almost hitting one of the cars that was stuck partially off the road. Things were getting pretty dicey. Three men got out of their cars,

got behind the van and pushed the van up the hill. I didn’t get to thank them, I was busy just trying not to cause an accident myself. I’d like to thank those three men for helping to get several of us home safely and for keeping Crest Hill Road open. There were probably many incidents of kindness out on the roads this afternoon. It’s one of the things that makes Fauquier County a nice place to live. Sarah Atkins Hume

ERA has potential legal problem Recently in newspapers, it was announced that the Virginia General Assembly may be considering ratifying the proposed Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It is important that everyone be given equal protection under the law. However, the current version of the ERA has a potential legal problem. The current version of this amendment has a ratification time limit which has long since expired. One way to get around this problem is to pass a new version of this amendment with no time limit indicated. Because the 27th Amendment to the Constitution had no ratification time limit, it was able to be ratified 203 years after the date when it was first proposed.

Constitutional amendments can be proposed and ratified in the following manner: They must be proposed by a 2/3 vote in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate; or 2/3 of the 50 state legislatures can petition Congress to call a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments to the Constitution. All proposed amendments to the United States Constitution must be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures or by 3/4 of conventions held in the 50 states. Amending the U.S. Constitution is not an easy process. Robert H. Wright Jr. Warrenton

There is an easy way to elect the president by popular vote without amending the U.S. Constitution. Why is it important to change our 18th-century way that we elect our president? We need to change this outdated system because the Electoral College favors small states. When a Virginian casts a presidential ballot, a voter in Vermont or Wyoming gets to cast the equivalent of three ballots. This is not in line with the principle: one person one vote. The electoral college encourages presidential campaigns to focus on a few battleground states and ignores the rest of the country’s voters. There is a way to change this without a long amendment process. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their respective electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes is elected president,

and it will come into effect only when it will guarantee that outcome. As of May 2018, it has been adopted by 11 states and the District of Columbia. Together, they have 172 electoral votes, which is 32 percent of the total Electoral College and 63.7 percent of the electoral votes needed to give the compact legal force. The NPVIC will make every vote equal and make every vote count. This option will come before the Virginia General Assembly as HB 2422. Write to Del. Mark Cole, who is chairman of the Privileges and Elections Committee where this bill is assigned or Del. Elizabeth Guzman, who serves on that committee. Sen. Jill Vogel is the chair of the Privileges and Elections Committee in the Senate, so please write to her as well. Action is needed before Feb. 5. Urge them to let this bill on the NPVIC go forward.

Independent commission should redraw district maps As required by Article One Section Two Subsection Three of the United States Constitution, a comprehensive census of the United States shall be done every 10 years. There are many reasons for this census. One of these reasons is the determination of various legislative districts. Currently in Virginia, this is the responsibility of the General Assembly. I believe that this function could be done better through the establishment of a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission. Using raw U.S. census data and modern-day computer statistical methods, the redistricting commission would draw district maps that meet the following criteria as defined by Article Two, Section Six of the Virginia State Constitution: “Every electoral district

shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory and shall be so constituted as to give, as nearly as practicable, representation in proportion to territory and shall be so constituted as to give, as nearly as practicable, representation in proportion to the population of the district.” I believe that this is a much better way of redrawing our district maps. To do this, we would have to amend the Virginia Constitution. A ballot question to do this would have to be placed on the Nov. 5 election ballot. The ballot question would have to be approved by a majority of Virginia voters who voted in the Nov. 5 general election. Robert H. Wright Jr. Warrenton

Culpeper shop caters to coffee and cycling connoisseurs By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Let’s pretend you’re an entrepreneur looking to start a small business with lots of potential. What might you consider? Gift shop? Restaurant? Pet grooming? Microbrewery? Self-storage? All good choices. But what if you had the opportunity and experience to open two linked businesses with a potential customer base of 250 million Americans? Your business plan would brighten considerably. Such a shop is thriving in Culpeper centered on two staples: coffee and bicycles. And both items are focused on audiences with upscale tastes. Or more accurately, folks who may not know they have high-end tastes until they experience the products for sale. Welcome to 18 Grams Coffee Labs and VeloConcepts. It’s a twofer business. Open one door and walk into two shops: artisanal coffee on one side and high-performance bikes on the other. The eclectic business model is the brainchild of Joe Coppola, a high-energy guy with an idea never far from his active imagination. Linking coffee and bikes evolved as he sought to build and expand his business. There are 150 million coffee lovers in the United States and 100 million bike riders, so the potential is obvious. Today, Piedmont residents can score an exceptional cup of java and a pedal machine of the highest caliber under the same roof at 201 Waters Place #110 in Culpeper. Coppola, 46, labors as an IT professional during the day while overseeing his two passions. “About four years ago I started a bike shop called VeloConcepts. I carry high-end boutique bikes. I don’t cater to kids and lower-cost bikes,” said Coppola. The reason is, he grew up racing both road and mountain bikes beginning in his college days and realized there is a market for riders with similar interests. “It was my way to give back to the cycling community. Over the years I had gained weight and gotten out of shape,” he said. “I got reinvigorated getting back into cycling.” He always had coffee available for visiting customers. “I thought it was better to offer them a cup of coffee or espresso as opposed to saying, ‘What do you want to buy from me?’” he explained. “I was into quality coffee and thought it was just

VeloConcepts sports highperformance cycles. a small thing to provide as part of my customer service.” The bike shop opened in 2014, but a year and a half later he learned he was going to lose his lease. He began a hunt for another shop and located an old apple warehouse that needed considerable work to suit his needs. It also expanded his retail space from the original 700 square feet to 2,500 square feet. “It was going to be tough to support such a large space just selling bikes. There’s a big-time tie-in between cycling and coffee and I said, ‘Let’s open a café as part of the bike shop.’ I also didn’t want to be on Main Street because the expectation is you’d be able to find lower-priced bikes there and I don’t deal in that kind of product,” he said. What do high-performance cycles cost? Be prepared to pay anywhere from $1,500 for an entry-level machine up to $11,000. If it helps, think Tour de France. The bike shop also sports $50,000 in equipment to enable bikes to be custom-fitted to each rider. In addition to recreational riders, professional racing cyclists from throughout the mid-Atlantic region call VeloConcepts home. The Waters Place location also enabled Coppola to safely launch

Coffee is coffee, right? Not so fast. If you told Coppola that, he’d leap off his bike to share the fuller story with you. “We serve third-wave coffee and espresso and get our product from a roaster company in North Carolina called Counter Culture Coffee,” he said. Third-wave coffee is a movement to produce high-quality coffee as an artisanal foodstuff, much like wine and craft beer. It involves improvements at all stages of production, from coffee plant-growing, harvesting and processing, to stronger relationships between coffee growers, traders, and roasters. The coffee side of the business is called 18 Grams Coffee Lab because of the technique used to brew the cuppa. “It takes 18 grams in a filter basket to produce espresso and coffee. It’s a scientific method to ensure the perfect cup each and every time,” he said. “We are very tempermental and weigh and measure everything that goes into our recipes. We actually go down to the hundredth gram to make a perfect blend or 18.4 grams per cup,” he added. “We also feature a wide range of seasonal epicurean toasts, healthy starts and house-made sandwiches, pastries and sweets. We often get comments such as, ‘This is the best cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted.’” Never willing to rest on his coffee beans, the café recently launched a series of flavored brews produced to replicate a craft cocktail bar. One new offering is the campfire s’mores latte. It consists of graham-cracker-infused milk with

homemade chocolate and marshmallow. The drink is then placed in a smoke-infuser box to produce a smoked hickory flavored drink replicating a campfire s’more snuggled in a 12-ounce cup. It’s served with a signature food item. Coffee hounds should not expect to drop by and just grab a cup and run. These handcrafted drinks may take up to 10 minutes to produce, providing time to gaze at the sleek racing bikes on the other side of the shop. In summing up his passion for life and business, Coppola said, “Anything I can sink my teeth into and gain more knowledge of while educating my customers is what I’m all about.” What his customers are all about are enjoying the fruits of his labors.

Triple whammy: the gender wealth gap in retirement Here’s what I’m not going to address, except in passing: the wage gap between the sexes. Why? It’s not because I doubt its existence. Rather, it’s because for most retirees the peak earning years are past, and they are now drawing down savings and investments. What I am going to address, however, is the wealth gap between men and women during the retirement years. Meet Rosemary, a woman who has spent her entire adult life caring for loved ones – first her profoundly handicapped brother, and then her Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother. When her mother died last year, Rosemary started looking for a job. At age 66. With no official work history. We’ll come back to Rosemary in a minute. Retirement income typically consists of investments, savings, and, for most Americans, Social Security. In fact, information published by the Social Security Administration states half of retirees rely upon Social Security for 50 percent of their income; one in five relies upon Social Security for 90 percent of his or her income. But here’s the catch: didn’t work 35 years? You’re not getting maximum benefits no matter how much you earned during the working years, unless you qualify for a spouse’s, or former spouse’s, benefits. And if you never worked, as in Rosemary’s case – or if you worked fewer than 10 years – you may fall into a group called “never beneficia-

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON ries.” People in this category may qualify for no benefits at all, unless they can claim benefits through a spouse or former spouse. To reiterate, there are two important numbers to understand: first, you have to work at least 10 years to qualify for Social Security benefits. Second, your monthly Social Security payment will be based upon your 35 highest-income years. Women disproportionately represent never-beneficiaries because they step out of the workforce far more frequently than do men in order to care for children or elderly relatives, and no amount of curing the wage gap during the working years is going to fully close the wealth gap during the retirement years for these women. For some women it’s a triple whammy: fewer years worked, lower wages paid during those working years. Add to this the fact women, on average, live longer, and you start to see the magnitude of the problem. So, what are some cures for women already of retirement age? That can be a tricky one, as working is simply not possible for some older citizens.

However, for those who can work, even a small income can make a big difference. Also, I am a huge believer in the role faith-based organizations play in a community, as well as the effectiveness of service organizations and other nonprofits. Some groups will assist with smaller home repairs, and many offer other forms of assistance. Many of our local jurisdictions have shuttle services for those needing transportation. And what about prevention? There are many, many things we could do better, but following is some very low-hanging fruit. First, we must offer financial education early enough in life for it to have a meaningful impact. It does no good to start talking to people about retirement finances when they’re so close to retirement age they have no hope of working a minimum of 10 years. Second, we need to re-examine the wage gap and the many, complex reasons it still exists. And we need to take a very close look at things that are working, such as recent legislation passed in Ore-

gon, whereby employees are automatically enrolled in Roth IRAs. As for Rosemary, she is doing well. She had the great blessing of inheriting her mother’s home and was able to do a reverse mortgage to help with her finances. She works as a cashier at a local grocery store and has qualified for basic health care coverage through her employer. Many of us, at one time or another, have turned to family for child care or for elder care. Twice I myself served as the primary caregiver for aging or ailing family members and feel blessed to have had that privilege. However, circumstances were such that I had the opportunity to step back into the workforce. Not everyone is that fortunate. But I believe we, as a nation, ought to insist upon having this complex discussion.

‘A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL GAME’ Fauquier boys edge Kettle Run, 57-55, in OT By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

It seemed far-fetched to think the Fauquier Falcons would take down Kettle Run on Monday after they lost to the Cougars by 15 points earlier this season. But with the help of a raucous crowd at home in Warrenton, a miracle foul and a spectacular overtime performance from its only senior, Robert Brooks, Fauquier earned a 57-55 upset victory against Kettle Run, which entered the night with more than twice the wins as the Falcons. “It was a great high school game,” Fauquier coach Wayne Brizzi said. “We are very fortunate to end up on the winning side. “It could have gone either way,” he said. “We have lost a lot of close

There’s a lot of scrambling going on as the final week of the regular season concludes this week. Kettle Run sits in third place entering the week, but faces three road games at Sherando Tuesday, Handley Thursday and Liberty Friday. Liberty also plays three times, with games at Handley Tuesday, James Wood on Wednesday at home and a home game with Kettle Run Friday. The district tournament begins Tuesday, Feb. 12 with the No. 1 seed Handley earning a bye. The No. 2 seed hosts No. 7, No. 3 hosts No. 6 and No. 4 hosts No. 5. The semifinals are Thursday, Feb. 14 and final Feb. 15.

games and it is nice to win a couple.” Brooks scored eight points in overtime to clinch the Falcons’ victory after he also tied the game 4747 with less than a second remaining in the fourth quarter. With eight seconds left, Ben Heflin made a pair of free throws to give Kettle Run a one-point lead, but Brooks got the ball on Fauquier’s ensuing possession and shot a 3-pointer amid a swam of defenders. The ball landed nowhere close to the rim, but Brooks drew a foul while double-clutching the shot. “I thought we had it,” Cougars coach Troy Washington said. “But then the whistle blew.” Needing to hit two of three free

throws to win the game, Brooks made only the second of his attempts to force overtime. “I should have made more than the one free throw,” Brooks said. “In overtime my teammates kept telling me to keep my head up and that it was my game. “We never doubt ourselves,” he said. “We are always behind each other.”

So the Falcons avenged a previous 61-46 loss to Kettle Run on Jan. 8 in Nokesville. “It’s always good to beat a rival, and that made it a little extra for the kids,” Brizzi said of the rematch. See FALCONS, Page 18

Their performances in that penultimate girls event gave Kettle Run a 328-300 victory over runner-up Sherando. The Cougars also beat runner-up Fauquier 308-239 for the boys championship, giving Kettle Run’s girls and boys simultaneous team titles for the second consecutive season. Fauquier’s girls (83 points) finished sixth and Liberty (68) seventh, while Liberty’s boys took seventh. Fauquier’s boys advanced to the Class 4 Region C meet in 16 events by placing among the top-eight in individual events and top-four in relays Saturday in addition to the region-qualifying times they earned during regular season meets.

Falcons sweep to Northwestern District indoor track titles By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Fauquier flexed its collective muscles Monday at James Wood to win both the boys and girls Northwestern District indoor track titles. The Falcon boys tromped runner-up Handley, 128-98, by winning seven of the 14 events and placing second in three others. Sherando was distant third with 65 points with Millbrook (59), James Wood (43), Kettle Run (30) and Liberty (25) completing the lineup. The meet, rescheduled from Saturday due to weather, saw the champion FHS girls hold off Millbrook, which was breathing down their necks the entire meet. FHS won 131-120, with Handley (60) far back in third, then Sherando (49), James Wood (35), Kettle Run (26) and Liberty (seven). The top six place winner in individual events and the top three relay teams advanced to this week’s Region 4C meet at Hagerstown Junior College. Depth was a key factor for both Falcon squads, Fauquier coach Quentin Jones said, providing strong scoring in several events and important flexibility on the entry sheet. “I was pleasantly surprised with what we did with that [advantage],” said Jones. Fauquier’s boys benefited from a triad of double gold medalists in Isaiah Brothers, Nick Matthews and Patrick Atwell.

Fauquier’s 1,600 relay of Atwell, Brothers, Matthews and Jacob Miller accounted for the seventh victory at 3:34.64. Atwell claimed the 300 in 36.86 and 500 in 1:05.92.

McDaniel-Neff won the 300 in 44.58 with teammate Sydney Trussell a close second at 44.79. Senior Kayla Pavlock added more than eight inches to her previous best throw to win the shot put at 39-2, nearly five feet better than Kettle Run’s Mary Kate Behan (34-5.5), who made her best throw by almost two feet. Falcons Morgan Strickland, McDaniel-Neff, Hayes and Kelsey Gastley formed the No. 1 1,600 relay that won in 4:22.7. Gastley was a two-time individual silver medalist, scoring in the 1,000 (3:17.59) and 1,600 (5:35.01). Cammi Winston and Morgan Pletch placed second and third, respectively, in the 55 hurdles. Winston also leaped 31-1 for third in the triple jump, while Shelby Rosenberger was third in the 1,000 at 3:19.2. The Falcons added two relay silvers, as Trussell, Camryn Bland, Winston and Katey Bern composed the 800. Eva Del Gallo, Strickland, Hayes and Mikhaela Ulewicz ran the 3,200 relay. Kettle Run and Liberty didn’t win an event, but had top performances. Sophomore Sam Rodman recorded Liberty’s top running effort with his 1,600 silver in 4:31.75. Darrion Allen was third in the boys 55 (6.87). Kristeena Kenny was third in the girls 55 (7.75). In addition to Behan, Kettle Run registered two other silver performances from Adalia Coleman in the 55 and Ryan Schaefer in the 3,000, with Gavin Burnett third. Another bronze medalist was Evan Torpy, who cleared 11-0 in the pole vault.

DOWN TO THE LAST MATCH AGAIN! Fauquier edges Liberty 201-198 to defend district wrestling title By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Former New York Yankee great Yogi Berra was well known for his malapropisms, including his classic line, “It ain’t over ʼtil it’s over.” That line was an apt description of the conclusion of Saturday’s Class 4 Northwestern District tournament at Millbrook, which saw Liberty and Fauquier duel to the final seconds in Winchester. With three weight classes remaining, Fauquier led Liberty 197-186, but the Eagles closed to 197-192 when Eagle Justin Cannon successfully defended his 195-pound title by pinning Ben Bell of Fauquier in 1:33. Fauquier had an opportunity to take an insurmountable lead, but Falcon 220-pounder Casey Burr lost via a 10-3 decision to Sherando’s Caleb McLee. The focus now shifted Liberty 285-pounder Willie Phipps, who squared off versus DeShawn Lee of Sherando for gold. Phipps came through big-time, earning maximum points by pinning Lee in 1:56 to earn two bonus points to boost his Eagles into the lead at 198-197. But the tournament had one more match on a neighboring mat, with Fal-

When he sees an opportunity, he capitalizes when that arises.” James Wood placed third with 157.5 points, and Kettle Run took fourth at 143.5. Sherando (133), Millbrook (130) and Handley (104.5) rounded out the field. The 2018 tournament title also came done to the final weight class, with Fauquier edging Liberty. The Eagles gained revenge the next week by taking the Region 4C crown. This weekend the action moves to regionals at Heritage High in Leesburg.

WHO LED THE DOGS OUT?

HORSE BRIEFS

Deep Run Hunt, Casanova Hunt enjoy spotlight at Richmond legislative session By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

A mixed pack of dog hunters joined forces at a Friday rally in Richmond for a show of force to the in-session state legislature. Fauquier delegates Elizabeth Guzman (D-31) and Michael Webert (R-18) sponsored the assembly held at the historic bell tower at the capitol complex near downtown Feb. 1. The Virginia Hunting Dog Alliance (VHDA) and industry lobbyist Mike Pearson of Hume helped organize the event recognizing two of Virginia’s oldest foxhunting clubs and their support of conservation legislation affecting hunting dog owners of all kinds. Deep Run Hunt huntsman John Harrison attended in formal livery. His ensemble included velvet hard hat, pink frock coat, brown-topped boots, plus four couple of tri-colored Crossbred hounds from the pack long kenneled a few miles west of downtown. Longtime Casanova huntsman Tommy Lee Jones was also central to the morning’s activities. He accepted a legislative resolution recognizing Casanova Hunt’s 110th anniversary year and also received commendation for 50 years of hunt service. Earlier this year, Jones and wife Diane were honored as Citizens of the Year for Fauquier’s Cedar Run district for conservation and openspace efforts and their tireless work for the horse industry. “It was a pretty impressive group gathered down there,” Jones said,

Deep Run huntsman John Harrison brought four couple of the Richmond area pack’s Crossbred hounds to the state capitol Friday to meet with legislators at an event sponsored by Fauquier delegates Elizabeth Guzman and Michael Webert. noting that in addition to foxhunters from Casanova, Deep Run and Piedmont Foxhounds, VAHDA members represented rabbit hunters, coon hunters, deer hunters, bear hunters, turkey hunters and more. “I mean, the American Foxhound is the Virginia state dog, and there are thousands of people in Virginia that have hunting dogs. Foxhunting is just part of it. We stand together with the other dog hunting groups. We have to.” Virginia Hunting Dog Alliance data tracks some 307,000 licensed hunters in Virginia today; nearly 65 percent hunt with dogs. Del. Webert said he’s proud to represent numerous hunt territories. “Outdoorsmen share a love of and the need for conservation,” Webert said. “It is a way of life (and) worthy of our protection. For many in the general assembly, hunting is a foreign affair. By banding togeth-

er we can educate (about) the great outdoors.”

An honor for Jones

Jones and a few others were invited inside the capitol building for the legislative session. “I hadn’t been in there since a (freshman class) field trip back in high school,” Jones said. “Delegate Guzman has been great. She didn’t even know foxhunting was still a ‘thing.’ But she came to our opening meet (in November on the Casanova village green), and she’s supporting us gung ho. She’s wonderful.” Deep Run won the prestigious Hunting Habitat Conservation award from the Master of Foxhounds Association Conservation Award. Other Virginia hunts previously honored include the Middleburg Hunt, Blue Ridge Hunt, Farmington Hunt, Piedmont and Orange County Hounds. More information on foxhunting is available at mfha.org and vahda.org.

Poised Brooks, loud crowd propel Falcons to big win FALCONS, from Page 13 “They love playing in these games.” So Fauquier boosted its record to 6-12 overall and 3-7 in the Class 4 Northwestern District while the Cougars fell to 12-7 and 6-3. “We were hungry,” Fauquier junior Devin Lewis said. “We just fight. “This was one of the biggest games,” he said. “There were a lot of people out here.” The crowd, boisterous on both sides of the gym, created a great atmosphere from even before the opening tip. When a recording of the national anthem failed to play pregame, the fans took over and sung the Star Spangled Banner themselves. Yet both teams staggered out of the gate and left Fauquier with an

8-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. Then Kettle Run’s Braedan Allen scored seven of his team-high 13 points in the second quarter. He began by coming off the bench for a tough rebound and three-point play to tie the score 11-11. Similarly, Fauquier junior forward Kyle Dargis scored seven of his nine points in the second quarter with a big 3-pointer that gave the Falcons a 25-24 halftime lead. “I thought they executed well,” Washington said. “They hurt us with the backdoor cuts. “They dictated to us how they wanted to play,” he said. “It caught up to us. We didn’t make some of the bang-bang plays.” Brooks scored only two points in the first half, but he still finished

with a game-high 19. He started heating up in the third quarter with four points, so Fauquier entered the fourth with a 35-34 lead. “Robert has a lot of poise being a senior,” Brizzi said. “He leads us. It is nice to see him do that for us. He has done that all year when he gets on a roll.” Brooks helped Fauquier win despite a 7-0 run by the Cougars early in the fourth period, giving them a 43-37 lead. Lewis (11 points) kept the Falcons within striking distance by pulling up to hit a huge 3-pointer. Then sophomore Thurman Smith made two free throws in the final minute. For Kettle Run, Drew Tapscott finished with 13 points and Heflin had 11.

This 34-year-old quarter horse shows how careful consideration for a senior horse cab produce a long, healthy life. Anything over 20 is considered ‘old’ for a horse, with anything more than 25 considered ‘very old.’

Taking care of their teeth Your pet’s oral health is important By Caroline Fout

Special to the Fauquier Times

Can brushing your dog or cat’s teeth have a serious effect on their dental and overall health? Dr. Renée Nolan of The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine near The Plains says, “Absolutely.” “You may be more interested in brushing your 3-year-old’s teeth than your dog’s teeth,” Nolan said. But both dogs and cats build up plaque and tartar, just as we do, and require daily cleaning. Periodontal disease is the most common that dogs and cats suffer from and includes an inflammatory response within their gums as well

as the bone support (also known as periodontal tissue) surrounding their teeth. Thinking about taking up brushing your dog or cat’s teeth every day? That’s certainly one method, but for those who do not wish to stick their hand inside Fido’s mouth daily, here are some other preventative measures to keep up with your dog or cat’s dental health. To begin with, start checkups at the vet early, when your pup or kitten is less than a year old, and then again once they’ve reached a year. Yearly checkups are recommended, but much of the prevention comes from what dog and cat owners can do at home for their pet. “Honestly, dry food or wet food, it doesn’t matter. Neither of those have shown to have a negative impact on a dog or cat’s oral health,” Nolan

said. However, there are treats and foods that have been approved by the Veterinary Oral Health Council, including Greenies (for dogs and cats), Purina Dental Chewz, Tartar Shield Soft Rawhide Chews, and Milkbone Brushing Chews, to name a few. “Give them something they can sink their teeth into, so the treat actually has a squeegee effect on their teeth,” Nolan said. Look for the “VOHC Accepted” seal when shopping for your next bag of treats. The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine also carries many of these certified dental chews and treats. There are also water-additives, “If your pet is a somewhat dainty drinker and doesn’t splash all of their water out of the pan, these can be very useful,” Nolan said. There are even VOHC-approved dog and cat toothpastes. At-home prevention is essential, but more thorough and advanced teeth-cleaning may require a trip to the vet. Nolan, and others at The Small Animal Clinic at Piedmont Equine on Zulla Road, take care to

make sure teeth cleaning is a calm and safe experience for your pet. “Anesthesia is necessary for the procedure, and the amount given is tailored to the individual,” Nolan noted. Pre-operation antibiotics are administered, to avoid any risk of infection, and a warming blanket is placed over the patient. There are also heart and pulse monitors, as well as a team of three people ensuring the patient goes through the procedure seamlessly. “They have many, many more teeth than we do, so diseases can be so much more advanced if we don’t keep track of them,” Nolan added. “Keeping your pet somewhat lean and their teeth clean has a huge impact on their longevity, it really does.” Caroline Fout is an associate with The Glover Park Group and a freelance writer with Country Spirit.

The arts expand in the

heART

of Warrenton Allegro and Gloria’s host open houses By Debra Smyers

Contributing Writer

Two arts organizations on Main Street in Warrenton have expanded to include locations in town to gain additional performing arts space. Several hundred people enjoyed the celebrations on Feb. 2 at the Allegro Community School of the Arts open house and the Gloria Faye Dingus Center for the Arts grand opening. Both popular nonprofits are known locally as simply Allegro and Gloria’s in friendly Old Town Warrenton.

Gloria’s brings quality music to town

The Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance began as a tribute to the mother of founder Tim Dingus. The new location at 92 Main St. will serve the community as an entertainment center, art gallery, educational facility, events venue and community gathering place. Drum & Strum Music Center, the longtime music business that began in 1990, will remain at 102 Main St. The 4,680 square foot new venue for Gloria’s is divided in three areas. The main room contains the stage and is in the middle of two side rooms where food and beverages were enjoyed alongside great community conversations at the grand opening celebration. One side room is a gallery with local art adorning the walls. Local attorney and Gloria’s board member Bert van Gils said that he negotiated the lease in August. A few renovations were made including adding a door to separate the area, building the stage, and purchasing professional quality sound and lighting. The venue is also available to rent. “A lot of nonprofits don’t have a place of their own and are looking to rent space,” he said. Longtime community builder and artist Sunny Reynolds led the fundraising. “Without the sponsors and contributions, we could not have completed the revitalization of the space and purchased the much-needed professional sound and lighting. This is such a great venue. It’s like a mini Birchmere. Warrenton can be known/famous for music,” said Reynolds. Students from Drum & Strum’s Fauquier County Youth Orchestra opened the evening’s events with “The Star-Spangled Banner,”

Local business owner Pablo Teodoro of Great Harvest Bread Company added, “I’d like to be here almost every weekend, clubbing it right here in old town.” Center District Supervisor Chris Granger remarked that Gloria’s is a, “fantastic addition to Warrenton and what it will bring to Main Street. This is a great night for our community.” Granger had also attended Allegro’s open house, remarking, “The expansion makes for additional space and advantages for youth. It’s great that growth for both organizations is happening at the same time and serving different needs. Here at Gloria’s touring music will finally have a place.” “We are overwhelmed with the See MUSIC, Page 22

Near the end of the night, audience member and renowned drummer Menzie

Pittman was invited up on stage for the last go ’round of jazz numbers. Avid community supporter and chair of Experience Old Town Warrenton Amelia Stansell and her husband Troy enjoyed the night at Gloria’s. “I am excited to have somewhere to go in town that’s not a typical bar atmosphere. The venue is right here in our own town and we don’t have to drive to Fairfax or D.C. for quality music.”

Come experience the power of the arts from sculpting, and painting, to music and the performing arts. We look forward to bringing an eclectic mix of world class music featuring local, regional, national and international talent to Warrenton for all to enjoy,” said a smiling Tim Dingus. Most of all, every day Dingus is reminded of the words of his caring mother, Gloria: “There should be no barrier between anyone and the arts.” For more information and a full schedule of upcoming events, visit www.centerofwarrenton.org.

All arts at Allegro

“All Arts at Allegro” seemed to be the theme of the open house at Allegro and could be its new tagline as Allegro expands its opportunities in music, dance, theater, and literary arts. Allegro’s vision is to create a place where the arts are a cornerstone of the community as well as every individual lifestyle. Allegro will keep its 20 Main St. location as it expands the arts at 39 Culpeper St. The 7,000 square feet of additional space seems infinite in the large space previously occupied by the Fauquier Times offices, which had been vacant for almost a year after the newspaper moved next door. Allegro held two open houses on Feb. 1 and 2. Local town Councilman Renard Carlos attended the open house on Friday and to everyone’s delight, played the piano. At the open house on Saturday, town Councilman Sean Polster mentioned that his daughter takes piano lessons at Allegro. “It’s great anytime you can introduce children to the arts, and this is an amazing opportunity for our community,” said Polster. While Allegro will be expanding existing pro-

There will be classes for adults in dance and opportunities to be part of a choir. Lachelle Yoder explained, “the new expansion will finally allow us to create the Allegro that we wanted to create for all ages in Warrenton when we first came here in 2013.” Allegro board member Aimee O’Grady spoke passionately of the new literary arts opportunities that the new space will accommodate. The newly named “Warrenton Inklings Society” will have a place for writers to create almost every day of the week, collaborative sessions, and speakers. “Co-founders Sam and Lachelle Yoder are great at creating spaces that are conducive to creativity. The arts come into your heart, your home and your community. For a longtime townie like me, this is a beautiful recreation of this space,” said local coach,

speaker and author Diane Haworth. The new location has many rooms. The dance room will be used to rehearse choreography for musicals. Weekly and drop-in dance classes for all ages will also be taught there by Cecelia Dohm. Instructors will have a day care room for their children. Yet another room is a piano studio where Bob Swift will teach voice, piano and harpsichord lessons. He will also offer pipe organ lessons at another location. “No prior experience is needed or the ability to read music first, he said. Noticeably, the acoustics are already adequate in the building. Allegro’s Youth Orchestra music performed by middle- and high-schoolers resonated beautifully throughout the new space. Afterwards, rehearsals were underway including Music Director Scott Tester playing the piano and instructing Victoria Manahan on advanced level music for the violin. Tester has more than 40 years of experience teaching music. “To round out the orchestra more, Allegro is seeking students interested in playing percussion, French horn, trumpet, oboe, and bass clarinet,” he said. At the end of the open house people were already planning to register their children for music lessons, sign up for a summer camp, and even finish writing that novel that had been collecting dust on their bookshelves at home. The doors at Allegro are open for the community to embrace the opportunity to create, learn and inspire others through the arts. Allegro will be performing at a brisk tempo for many years to come.

FILING THE DEATH CERTIFICATE A death certificate, which is a document that declares the deceased’s name, address, date, location, and cause of death, as well as other important information, must be signed by a medical practitioner within a prescribed period of time. While processing this document is routine in a hospital, deaths that occur at home may require calls to the deceased’s personal physician or, if necessary, the county medical examiner or coroner. In the days immediately following death, the funeral director prepares the death certificate, which is filed with the county. The funeral home usually files the certificate, certified copies of which will be needed later for insurance, probate, and other purposes. The easiest way to get certified copies of a death certificate is to order them through the funeral home or mortuary at the time of the death. If you are in charge of winding up the deceased person’s affairs, you should ask for at least 10 copies. To learn about our funeral services, 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. “For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.” – William Penn

Ongoing… Fauquier Community Meals: The partial federal government shut down for over a month has put financial and emotional stress on many families in our community in addition to the stress that was already here long before the shutdown began, and will continue long after. Local churches have joined together to plan community meals throughout the month of February with hopes to continue them beyond. Rikki Brown, a member at Bethel United Methodist Church brought the idea to her congregation and to the attention of her friend, Rev. Terri Church, pastor at Our Saviour Lutheran Church. They quickly worked together to rally their congregations and get the word out to other churches to participate in providing affordable community meals so individuals and families who are seeking conversation and some entertainment can gather over a hot meal throughout the month of February. Bethel UMC will host dinners starting at 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Friday nights in its fellowship hall, 6903 Blantyre Road in Warrenton. Our Saviour Lutheran Church will serve dinners from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Saturday nights at 6194 Dumfries Road, Warrenton. More organizations and churches are invited to participate. For more information, visit Fauquier Community Meals on Facebook.

Fauquier Family Shelter needs donations I hope everyone is keeping warm in these cold temperatures we have been experiencing lately. Thank you to the members of the Catlett Volunteer Fire and Rescue for responding to the automobile accidents and other emergencies during this cold weather. I recently read an article where someone asked a fireman, “What do you make?” The response gave me chills and is something all of us should be thankful for. The fireman responded, “I can get out of bed at 3 a.m. to risk my life to save people I have never met, I can make the annoying sounds of siren seem like angels singing, I can make five minutes seem like a lifetime when I am going into a burning house or rescuing you from a vehicle. I make the ultimate sacrifice every day to save a life. I make a difference.” Make an effort to thank first-responders when you see them out in the community. A thank you and handshake will mean the world to them. They give of themselves every day to help you and me safe.

library in 2017 created Sensory Story Time for children. The special story time is quieter than regular story programs and has a greater focus on interaction and participation. Time is also reserved immediately following the story time for children to stay and play and for families to socialize. Designed for children ages 2-6 by Library Assistant Ellen Richmond-Hearty, a retired special education teacher, the monthly program features books, songs, flannel boards and finger plays. The smaller group size means Richmond-Hearty can give the children an opportunity to interact with the story. “They can practice their animal sounds, while reading ‘The Seals on the Bus,’ or imitating the movement of construction vehicles while reading ‘Tip Tip Dig Dig,’ says Richmond-Hearty. Parents of older special needs children asked the library to add a similar program for their families. In response, a monthly School-Age Sensory Fun program for children ages 7-10 will begin in February. Sensory Story Time is held monthly at the Warrenton central library monthly on the third Saturday. Children must be accompanied by a caregiver, and siblings are welcome.

The next session will be held Saturday, Feb. 16.

Armand James Mayzel Armand James Mayzel, 80, of Woodbridge VA entered into eternal rest surrounded by his loving children and grandson, Aaron, on January 31st, 2019 at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center. Armand was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Mayzel and Anna (Dora) Mayzel, his beloved wife of 51 years, Constance (Manfre) Mayzel, his first-born son, Joseph Mayzel, a daughter-in-law, Cindy Mayzel, and a step-grandson, Jake Lewis, all from Woodbridge. Brothers, Frank Mayzel and Joseph Mayzel, both of Clairton, PA, also precede Armand in death. Born at home in Clairton, PA on November 18, 1938, Armand spent his early years as part of a Slovakian community on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA. He loved sharing stories of his adventures growing up, including jumping between the Union Railroad Company train cars, swimming in the Monogahela River, attempting to outsmart the nuns at Catholic school, and various, other adventures he shared with his six brothers and sisters. He loved sports, namely baseball and football, and was a linebacker for the Clairton Bears, helping take their team to the state football championships in 1954. Armand went on to play football for the Oregon Tech Owls after earning a football scholarship at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, where he completed a degree in Engineering Inspection in 1958. After a knee injury ended his football career, Armand spent most weekends watching football on TV, rooting for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins. His exuberant passion for football may help explain why none of his four children developed any enthusiasm for professional sports. Armand spent three years serving in the U.S. Army, which took him to countries like Libya and Italy, before leaving the military in 1961 to pursue a career as an engineering inspector in Washington DC. He met his wife Connie in 1964, the year they married, and raised his family in Alexandria VA, and later, Woodbridge. Armand was employed by a number of engineering and construction firms in the DC-area throughout his long, 45-year career. He was most recently employed by MacTec (previously Law Engineering), and retired in 2008 after 27 years with the company. Armand is survived by his twin sons, Armand (d. Cindy) Mayzel Jr. of Woodbridge (grandchildren, Christopher Mayzel, Emily (Chris) Busse, step-grandson Eric Lewis and step great grandson, Stokley Lewis) and James Mayzel of Woodbridge (wife, Susan, and grandson, Nicholas); a daughter, Maria Mayzel of Baltimore, MD (husband, Oswaldo Acosta and twins, Lucas Acosta and Olivia Acosta); a grandson, Aaron Mayzel of Fairless Hills, PA; four sisters, Audrey (d. Michael) Mihalko, of Clairton, PA, Elsie (Nazareth) Rondinelli, of San Marcos, CA, Evelyn (Anthony) Frattaroli, of Murrysville, PA and Anna Marie (Terry) Cvetan, of Belle Vernon, PA, along with numerous nieces and nephews and his beloved cat, Lilly. Armand was a longstanding member of the Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church. He and his wife, Connie, volunteered with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and walked in honor of their son, Joseph, in the MS Walk for a number of years. After his retirement, Armand became an avid woodworker, making furniture for family and friends. After losing Connie in 2016, Armand bravely fought lung cancer, which resulted in a number of chronic health conditions, all of which he managed in stride. It is uncertain if one of his many chronic health conditions ultimately led to his death – or if the prospect of the New England Patriots playing in yet another Super Bowl was the real culprit? One thing is certain – we all know the Redskins never had a shot of making it to the Super Bowl this season. Family and friends will be received at Mountcastle Turch Funeral Home, 13318 Occoquan Road, Woodbridge, VA 22191 on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. A Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church, 13752 Mary’s Way, Woodbridge, VA 22191 on February 7th 2019, at 11:00 am, with a celebration of Armand’s life to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Healing Hearts Respite Foundation P.O. Box 168 Haymarket, VA 20168.
