Fauquier sheriff faces primary challenge in June By James Ivancic

But first he faces a challenge for the Republican Party nomination from Christopher Cochrane, 52, June 11. Cochrane is the head of security at Highland School. He retired from the Fairfax County Police Department as a lieutenant after a 26-year career. Sheriff Bob Mosier Christopher Cochrane The native of Long Island, New York, is also a U.S. Army veteran.

Despite widespread calls for his resignation just one week ago over a racist picture in his medical school yearbook, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) says he’s determined to stay in office in part to help guide Virginia through a still-undefined process of racial reconciliation. Northam, 59, is still denying he was ever in the photo, which depicts one person in blackface and another in a Ku Klux Klan uniform. See GOVERNOR, Page 5

Hautes Cakes Pastry Shop, Black Bear Bistro and many more had their chocolate concoctions on display. For $10, participants could choose six tasty chocolate treats: from heartshaped chocolate shortbread cookies, tiny chocolate cupcakes, chocolate-pecan cookies and delightfully decorated chocolate strawberries and more. All were beautifully displayed in shades of red and pink and there for the picking. Many sat at tables chatting over cups of coffee with their sweet treats. Others opted to buy and bring home their desserts. Standing behind those trays of chocolate strawberries was Sue Olinger, best known for her pies that she sells at the Warrenton Farmers Market. “I know that most people know me for my pies,” said a smiling Olinger, “but for this occasion I brought out the strawberries. Olinger, a nineyear veteran of this event, is more than happy to help and support. Proceeds from the event go to the American Cancer Society.

Great Meadow Foundation director replaced in surprise election By Leonard Shapiro

John Hochheimer was elected the new board chairman. He lives in Alexandria and has overseen Great Meadow’s rocket science educational program in recent years. He had been serving

Contributing Writer

Nine months after she was elected board chair of the Great Meadow Foundation in The Plains, Cate Magennis Wyatt was removed from that position after a hastily-called election on Jan. 30. She said a vote was not on the agenda for that session. “It was, quite frankly, an ambush,” Wyatt, a business entrepreneur and former Virginia secretary for commerce and trade, said in a recent interview. The move comes in the wake of recent financial uncertainty for the nonprofit Great Meadow. Wyatt took the helm of the board last spring when the event center was considering filing for bankruptcy to deal with both operational losses and debts incurred from an expansion and the construction of its eventing course. The board renegotiated two bank loans totaling $386,000 with their respective lenders and drew up a new business plan to avert future losses. Despite her removal from the board, Wyatt said Great Meadow’s financial picture is now brighter. The board had raised more than $435,000 by last October, mostly from private donations, she said. “The good news is that in the last six months, we turned Great Meadow around,” said Wyatt, who lives in Waterford. “We were on the brink of bankruptcy, and at the end of the year we were $100,000 ahead and moving forward with a number of innovative programs.”

Cate Magennis Wyatt

as board secretary. In a telephone interview, Hochheimer said, “I’m not willing to talk about that,” when asked why Wyatt had been voted out. “The board remains committed to keeping Great Meadow as the leading foundation and destination for things like the Gold Cup and other outdoor events in the county and Northern Virginia,” he said. “We’re doing a lot of things and we’re building on some momentum. There are a lot of good events planned for the year and we’re looking forward to a great year.” A day after the Jan. 30 meeting, Hochheimer wrote an email to Wyatt saying that the board had become “deeply divided in the approach to manage change with the VA [Virginia] Gold Cup Association and with Twilight Polo. This division was leading to, in my opinion, the departure of a number of board members. I was approached by a significant number of board members, who were seeking change in leadership to be the next chair.” Hochheimer also thanked Wy-

att “for all of the passion and life you brought back to Great Meadow. You have been inspirational to many on the board and to the staff with your energy to make Great Meadow a better place.” Wyatt was one of only three women on the 14-person board. Her ouster also resulted in at least one board member, Marshall resident Tom McMillen, resigning in protest. McMillen was a standout college and professional basketball player, a Rhodes Scholar and a former Maryland congressman. Wyatt had recently asked him to join the board, and he said he was attending only his second meeting when the unscheduled election was held. “I’ve been on a lot of boards, and I’ve always thought they were a lot like [sports] teams,” McMillen said. “They’ve got to get along and work together. Directors should not be surprised, and this was a surprise. There should be a process and deliberations. I don’t even know what the issues are. There’s something going on, but this was not something I signed up for. Cate put a lot of time and effort into this. She did great work and didn’t deserve this.” Rob Banner, president of Great Meadow, attended the Jan. 30 meeting but said he was “not at liberty to discuss” the decision to oust Wyatt. “The future of Great Meadow is healthy, and that’s about all I can say,” he said. Great Meadow is a 374-acre equestrian event park founded in 1982 as a nonprofit foundation by the

late Arthur “Nick” Arundel, a former publisher of the Fauquier Times. It’s the permanent home of the Virginia Gold Cup spring and fall steeplechase races, as well as about 40 other events that draw 200,000 through the gates each year for polo, horse shows, model rocketry, cultural fairs, and Independence Day fireworks. None of those events will be affected by the board changes, Banner said. In 2005, Wyatt founded the history and conservation-oriented nonprofit, Journey Through Hallowed Ground. She had been on the Great Meadow board for nine years before she was elected chair last April. Over her tenure, she re-organized the board and formed several standing committees. She launched a “Friends of Great Meadow” campaign both to raise additional funds from donors and to attract new volunteers. And she established a committee for men and women under 40 to get younger blood into the organization. “To me, what’s most important now is that Great Meadow continues to do well,” Wyatt said. “I’m grateful to all the people who supported us over the last six months, both the professional staff and in the community.” Wyatt said she’d been asked to remain on the board as a vice chair but declined. “You go where you’re wanted,” she said.

Fauquier sheriff faces primary challenger in June Prosecutor’s top evaluating candidates and rating them said Mosier. SHERIFF, from Page 1 target: dealers Mosier chairs the Blue Ridge either highly recommended, recomCole, R-88th, Elizabeth Guzman, D-18th, and Mike Webert, R-18th. Some of the incumbents face challengers from the opposing party, but none so far have a primary challenger.

Mosier touts accreditation, raises

Elected for the first time in 2015, Mosier was a deputy sheriff in Fauquier and headed its special operations, patrol division and criminal investigations division. Mosier had a 100-day plan when he took office in January 2016 for goals he wanted to achieve or initiate. They included reorganizing the work of patrol deputies, enhancing public outreach, crisis intervention training for staff, increasing the number of marked vehicles, starting the process of accreditation and building relationships with other law enforcement agencies in the county. Accreditation from the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission was achieved in 2018. The designation means that the Fauquier Sheriff’s Office is following “best practices,” Mosier explained. “Only 25 percent of the law enforcement agencies in Virginia are accredited,” he said. “You want a doctor that is trained and following best practices or send your child to a schoolteacher with proper certification, why should we be any different?” Mosier said he believes in promoting from within if the best candidate for an opening is already within the sheriff’s office. His office works with the county’s human resources office in

mended or not recommended. Mosier heads a 184-member department, which includes 138 sworn deputies, and has a budget of $19.2 million. It was $18.7 million when he took over four years ago. There are currently six unfilled vacancies in the sheriff’s office, according to spokesperson Sgt. James Hartman. Starting pay in the sheriff’s office rose since Mosier took office from $37,584.80 to $41,500 or $43,000 with prior law enforcement experience. Pay adjustments were also made throughout the ranks to make salaries in Fauquier more competitive. Mosier also obtained funds from the board of supervisors to add eight deputies over two years. If re-elected, he wants each of the county’s 20 schools to have a school resource officer to provide security. Currently, the three high schools, the middle schools and two elementary schools have sworn school resource officers. He said he’d also like to continue to develop technology the officers use. The office is using drones to locate suspects on the run and missing people. Through Project Lifesaver, deputies can also locate someone with memory loss, Down’s syndrome or autism who wanders off if they are wearing a small transmitter supplied to them. Community outreach efforts that Mosier initiated include town halls where he hears from the public and shares information. “I think I’ve done 12 a year. I try to do one in each area of the county,”

The task force includes representatives from a six-county area – Fauquier, Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock, plus the towns of Warrenton, Orange and Culpeper. While overdoses in the region the Blue Ridge Task Force covers have declined from 246 overdoses and 42 deaths in 2016 to 165 overdoses and 29 deaths in 2018, Mosier cautions that “some are not reported, or law enforcement is not involved,” so the figures may not be telling the depth of the problem.

Cochrane calls for transparency

Cochrane said participation in regional drug and crime-fighting efforts is fine, but he thinks a more Fauquier-focused approach is needed to increase the number of arrests made. He said he would create a drug-fighting unit in the sheriff’s office and put more officers on routine patrols. That doesn’t mean hiring more people, just reallocating present staff, Cochrane said. “There’s a need for treatment and recovery services but the sheriff’s office needs to play its role,” Cochrane said of the drug-fighting effort. Cochrane said he would bring in a “core” group of management staff, if he’s elected. “I want to change the culture,” Cochrane said. But he said he also wants to encourage deputies to advance in the ranks. “You want to keep your guys here. If they have opportunities to advance or fill critical positions, then they’ll stick around,” Cochrane said. Cochrane also said he would “be out with the guys” on patrol. “I’ll be involved on a daily basis,” he said. Cochrane said he believes there is a need for greater transparency from the top. He said he would create a citizen’s advisory council to provide input on budget, equipment and staffing decisions. “It’s important for the public and employees to have a voice on how the office is run,” Cochrane said. The challenger said he would donate a portion of his salary to create a scholarship fund for young people interested in a career in law enforcement. He also wants to create a fitness facility for sheriff’s office employees to use. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Scott Hook announces bid for commonwealth’s attorney By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

“I want to make Fauquier County the riskiest place for [drug] dealers. When we catch them in Fauquier there’ll be no quarter,” said Scott Hook, an attorney in private practice who is running for Fauquier County commonwealth’s attorney. “I want to ensure a safe environment for my kids. Unfortunately, we have an opioid epidemic [and] there’s a level of crime associated with it,” Hook said. Running for the Republican Party’s nomination in his first bid for elected office, Hook, 42, said he’d like to speed up criminal prosecutions. “It can be a year before a sentencing,” he said. “We need to get them through the legal system as quickly as possible.” In prosecuting drug cases, he said he would work to get the cooperation of users facing criminal charges by offering the possibility of lighter sentences if they help authorities move against dealers. Charles Peters, the chief deputy to Commonwealth’s Attorney James P. Fisher, said Monday that he is “still evaluating” whether to run to replace Fisher, who is becoming a judge on the 20th Circuit Court and leaving the prosecutor’s job open. If Peters or another candidate emerges there will be a primary on June 11. Hook is in the general practice of law except for domestic cases and federal ones. He estimates 40 percent of the cases he takes involve criminal matters. He set up a solo practice in Warrenton in 2017. “I believe I have a level of experience in criminal and civil work. I would bring an understanding of the civil side of things, the so-called white-collar type crimes,” said Hook. Hook grew up in Fauquier County, received an undergraduate degree in geography from Radford University and a law degree from Seton Hall University’s School of Law.

Dems, GOP call on Fairfax to resign after second accuser speaks out By Arianna Coghill Capital News Service

Both Democratic and Republican state lawmakers and other political leaders called on Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax to resign last week after a second woman stepped forward and accused him of sexual assault. Through her attorneys, Meredith Watson issued a news release saying Fairfax (D) raped her when they were both students at Duke University in 2000. “Mr. Fairfax’s attack was premeditated and aggressive,” the release said. Watson’s accusation follows a public statement by Scripps College professor Vanessa Tyson two days earlier, alleging Fairfax assaulted her in 2004.

What should Northam do?

Fairfax has denied both accounts. He called Watson’s accusation “demonstrably false” and said he “never forced himself on anyone ever.” “I demand a full investigation into these unsubstantiated and false allegations. Such an investigation will confirm my account because I am telling the truth. I will clear my good name and I have nothing to hide,” Fairfax said.

Dems, black caucus call on Fairfax to resign

On Friday, Feb. 8, Virginia House and Senate Democrats issued a joint statement saying, “Due to the serious nature of these allegations, we believe Lieutenant Governor Fairfax can no longer fulfill his duties to the commonwealth. He needs to address

What is blackface?

GOVERNOR, from Page 1 But that scandal has since been overshadowed by the more recent one engulfing Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. Fairfax, 39, also faces calls to step down over allegations last week from two women who say he sexually assaulted them in 2000 and 2004. Fairfax (D) has forcefully denied both claims, calling for an investigation. In the meantime, Attorney General Mark Herring (D) acknowledged his own experience with blackface in 1980. Herring said he darkened his face to dress up like a rapper when he was 19-year-old student at the University of Virginia. The head-spinning developments in Richmond have been met with mixed reactions from Virginia residents. According to a recent Washington Post poll, 47 percent say Northam should stay in office, while 47 say he should step down. Black residents were more forgiving of the governor than whites in that poll, saying Northam should stay on by a margin of 58 to 37 percent. Local residents, of both races, are similarly torn, according to a series of recent interviews. Some say Northam should resign, while others say he’s surely not the same person he was 35 years ago. “I’m on the fence about it, because what he did in college is completely inappropriate. Disgusting really. But he is not the same man at 20 as he is at, what is he, 60?” said Ginger Paulson of Hume. “We are all different, hopefully. I don’t feel like he should be judged necessarily for what he

Blackface is a form of theatrical make-up used by non-black performers to represent a caricature of a black person. The practice gained popularity during the 19th century and contributed to the spread of racial stereotypes. By the middle of the 20th century, blackface minstrel shows had become a distinctive American art form that often featured exaggerated and offensive portrayals of black people. In the U.S., blackface is generally considered offensive and disrespectful, though the practice continues in other countries.

did in college.” Here’s a sampling of what others in the community say about Northam: Caroline Walters, of Warrenton: “I think he will resign due to the social pressure. It’s hard because I know, like, me and my friends – we can make stupid decisions and do stupid things at a young age, and then years from now look back and think, ‘That was so dumb; why did I do that?’ ... You also think, ‘I don’t want anything my friends have posted, or I have, to determine my future 40 years from now.’ So, I think about that. If it was a pattern, I would think, okay, yeah, obviously he has to resign. But it has to be looked into more.” Valerie Jackson, of Remington: “I think he should resign because they are now making a mockery of him. It’s causing a black and white thing – issues. We are supposed to be coming together as one. ... I got to weigh this out. You really got to investigate before you say yes or no. Does this old infraction interfere with him being able to make wise decisions now? When we’re in school, we don’t know half the time why we did what we did. It has a lot to do with the click you run

this as a private citizen. The time has come for him to step down.” At the beginning of the week, state leaders took a “wait and see” approach toward Tyson’s allegations against Fairfax. In the wake of a new accusation, state and national leaders issued a avalanche of statements calling for Fairfax to resign — and even threatening impeachment. The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus also called for Fairfax to resign. “We remain steadfast in our conviction that every allegation of sexual assault or misconduct be treated with the utmost seriousness. While we believe that anyone accused of such a grievous and harmful act must receive the due process pre-

scribed by the Constitution, we can’t see it in the best interest of the Commonwealth of Virginia for the Lieutenant Governor to remain in his role,” the group said.

with. ... Thirty years ago, we all made decisions that weren’t wise. A lot of time, we did it because our friends did it. So, I’m undecided. I want to know more. Is this how this man is walking his life? Or just something dumb he did 35 years ago?” Janice Adams, of Warrenton: “Yes, he needs to go. It’s gonna be real hard for him to do his work now.” Donna Benn, of Warrenton: “Resign? Yes, he should. But now you have the sexual assault allegation against Mr. Fairfax, and the attorney general admitting that he put on blackface, too. I am horrified about all of this. Where do we go from here? ... Who is it that we are going to look to fill those slots? And will they find something in their background? ... I am a Christian and I’ve done a lot of things in my life that I’m not proud of. And only Jesus Christ and God can judge. For me to judge someone else ... It might take time, but forgiveness is there for the taking.” Alice and Bill Fleming, of Bristow: Bill: “He should battle it out. He should stay. I just think that when you are in college you do wild and crazy things sometimes. A prank, sort of. I don’t think there’s anything serious about it.” Alice: “They keep holding things against people for what was in the past. I don’t think that’s right. Everybody makes mistakes and I guess he’s corrected his mistakes, so why can’t they let him stay.” Geraldine, of Warrenton: “Thirty years ago, what was relevant was completely different. As far as I’m concerned, if he’s doing a good job and he’s done his job well, then let him stay.” Tim Webber, of West Virginia but works in Orlean: “I’m not a Democrat, but I don’t think what he did was

so wrong. People are getting a little too worked up over all this. It’s something that happened years back and that was not a bad thing back then.” Bill Waller, of Hume: “[Resign?] I don’t think so. I think he is being taken down by the Republicans for his stand on abortions.” Margot Kilby, of Warrenton: “It’s getting to be ludicrous now that everything can come back to haunt you in mid-life. I don’t think there’s a grown man alive who hasn’t done something stupid in their past. It was very common [in Richmond where I was raised] for people to do that. Northam’s probably never been racist a day in his life.” Mickey Burton, of Warrenton: “I think he’s lost the ability to lead, so he will have to resign. But I think he’s probably gotten a raw deal. I’m suspicious of the way the whole thing went down. Something’s rotten in Denmark, was my first thought. And I have a real problem with deconstructionism, which started 30 years ago when people started denigrating Mark Twain for the way he portrayed Tom Sawyer in Huckleberry Finn. Deconstructionism is judging historical events by contemporary mores. Social norms of the time were different. In colleges, deconstructionism was rampant in the 70s and 80s – judging literature by current standards.” Sherry Morison, of Middleburg: “He should resign. It makes me so sad. He’s a good Democrat.” Lindsey Adams, college student, from Marshall: “I do think that he should resign. His behavior as a young adult is something he must take responsibility for because it’s not like he was a child when he did it. He knew better.” Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffrax@fauquier.com

GOP calls for resignation

Republican state lawmakers also called on Fairfax to quit. “For the second time this week, Lieutenant Governor Fairfax has been accused of actions that, if true, constitute major felonies in the commonwealth of Virginia. We are shocked and dismayed by these credible and serious allegations,” said a statement issued by the top GOP leaders in the House and Senate. Times staff members contributed to this story.

Warrenton plane makes emergency landing in Culpeper

A 47-year-old Gainesville flight instructor and her two juvenile passengers escaped injury Sunday when their Cessna airplane suffered engine failure after taking off from Warrenton Airport. The plane made an emergency landing on Va. 3 in Culpeper County. Virginia State Police responded to reports of the plane crash at 4:05 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10. The plane landed on Route 3 at eight-tenths of a mile east of Va. 788 and struck a utility pole, according to the state police. Hyunju V. Ko, 47, of Gainesville, was piloting the plane. The names of two juvenile passengers onboard were not released. No one in the plane or on the ground was injured, police said. The FAA responded to the scene and the crash remains under investigation.

Social media threats between Kettle Run H.S. students investigated

There’s no threat to the school itself, but two Kettle Run High School students were kept from returning to classes this week while officials investigated “threats” exchanged over social media, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. On Saturday, Feb. 9, deputies were made aware of an alleged threat between Kettle Run students communi-

cated through a Snapchat group chat, said Deputy A. T. Vescovi, of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. The sheriff’s office was contacted after screenshots of the threat were circulated and perceived to be a possible threat against the school itself, Vescovi said Sunday in a news release. The students, all juveniles, were identified and interviewed, Vescovi said. An investigation determined the threat was exchanged between only two students and was not directed toward the school itself, Vescovi said. The sheriff’s office is not disclosing the names or ages of the students involved because they are juveniles. Juvenile court “petitions,” which are similar to warrants but served at a juvenile court judge’s discretion, have been requested in connection with the matter, which remains under investigation, Vescovi said.

“When deputies arrived a short time after midnight, the scene was calm and the offending individuals had already left,” Vescovi said Sunday in a news release. “The remaining individuals were interviewed and the surrounding area was searched with no one found to be injured.” The sheriff’s office called surrounding jurisdictions and area hospitals to inquire about for anyone coming in with gunshot wounds and have yet to find any injuries related to the incident, Vescovi said. The sheriff’s office continues to investigate the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call the criminal investigations division at 540-422-8650.

Sheriff: Reports of gunfire during Midland-area party still under investigation

A 26-year-old Haymarket man was arrested in Fauquier County last week after police conducted a “controlled purchase” of heroin outside a retail area in New Baltimore. Fauquier County officials issued a press release about the arrest Friday, Feb. 8, as part of an effort to raise awareness about law-enforcement efforts to thwart illicit drug activity and distribution in Fauquier County, said Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Police made the buy on Thursday, Feb. 7, at about 5 p.m., outside a commercial and retail area off Lee Highway in New Baltimore, Hart-

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is investigating reports of shots fired Saturday night during a large private party on the 10400 block of Shenandoah Path in Midland. Deputies were dispatched Saturday, Feb. 9, to the home after multiple people called 911 to report a fight between a group of young men that culminated in multiple gun shots being fired, according to Deputy A.T. Vescovi of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Haymarket man arrested in Fauquier County heroin bust

man said. Tyler Wayne Key, 26, of Haymarket, is charged with two counts of distribution of heroin, second offense, and the possession of heroin with the intent to distribute in connection with the incident. Key was being held without bond at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center Thursday, the news release said. The arrest was part of ongoing narcotics-distribution investigations conducted by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force into area drug activity, Hartman said. The sheriff’s office is taking steps to publicize such arrests in an effort to raise awareness about the ongoing problem with illegal opioids such as heroin and fentanyl in the county, Hartman said. Overdose deaths in Fauquier County related to opioids rose to 20 in 2018, a spike from the nine reported in 2017. The county had 22 overdose deaths related to opioids in 2016. The rise is believed to be due in part to the presence of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, which is increasingly being mixed in with heroin and other drugs. Fentanyl can be 50 times more potent than heroin. “It’s heroin and fentanyl that are killing people and they’re killing people in Fauquier County,” Hartman said. “We’re going to release more information about such arrests when we can.”

Fauquier revenue commissioner to retire Ross D’Urso won’t seek re-election By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Ross D’Urso won’t seek a seventh term as Fauquier commissioner of the revenue this year. D’Urso, 64, began work in Fauquier as chief deputy to the commissioner in 1990 and was elected commissioner in 1995. The office maintains real estate taxpayer records, including land use and tax relief for the elderly and disabled programs, as well as handling personal property, business taxation and state income taxes. “You reach a point when you believe you’ve done all you can do,” said D’Urso, who is a Republican and announced his decision not to run again at a meeting Tuesday night of the Fauquier County Republican Committee. “It’s been a privilege to serve the citizens of Fauquier County as long as I’ve been able.” D’Urso said that Carl Wiberg, a Fauquier resident who works for the commissioner of revenue office in Loudoun County, is a candidate to succeed him. Wiberg, 56, confirmed he’s a candidate. He lives in the Springs Village community off Opal Road with his family. He said he has worked in real estate valuation for Loudoun

County for five years as a county employee and worked in that field as a private contractor for five years before that. He also has experience as a fee appraiser. Ross D’Urso Wiberg said the chance to work in the county where he lives prompted him to run. He said the Fauquier commissioner of revenue office has a “pretty good reputation” and that he would work to enhance that reputation. D’Urso, a resident of Opal, said he expects to “continue to serve the community in some way.” His hobby is music and he’s a member of the board of directors of the new Gloria Faye Dingus Center for the Arts in Warrenton. He’s also a member of the Rotary. His wife is retired. D’Urso said he’ll be leaving behind a staff of 20 “who are all qualified to do what they do.” The Fauquier GOP committee decided Tuesday to participate in the upcoming state-run primary this year to select a party nominee in contested races. The date of the primary is currently set for June 11. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Where Virginia goes from here

Scandal fully engulfed Virginia’s entire Democratic executive branch this past week, with Gov. Ralph Northam, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and Attorney General Mark Herring either admitting or fending off accusations of wrongdoing. Northam’s medical school yearbook page, with its picture of still-unidentified people photographed in blackface and a Ku Klux Klan hood, remains a cause of concern. Ditto for Herring, who admitted and apologized for dressing up as a rapper in college, complete with blackface makeup. But the allegations against Fairfax are by far the most troubling. Two women have come forward to accuse the former federal prosecutor of aggressive sexual assault in 2000 and 2004. Fairfax forcefully denied those allegations Friday. But he nonetheless faces an avalanche of calls for his resignation and a since-muted call for his impeachment. Opinions among Virginians are mixed as to how to move forward from these events and allegations. Considering the state’s fraught history of racial discrimination and the more recent reckoning about sexual abuse suffered by women in the workplace and other settings – as aired by the “me too” movement – these revelations must be treated seriously. To do otherwise would not only be wrong but would perpetuate decades of injustice. We stand by our belief that Northam’s governorship is severely compromised, and that it is in the best interest of the commonwealth that he resign his position. That said, Northam has made clear he’s not going anywhere. We appreciate that Northam has pledged to devote his time in office working toward racial conciliation and has embarked on an “apology tour.” But we must also note that his comments replacing “slavery” with the phrase “indentured servitude” do little to inspire confidence. While it’s true that some blacks brought to Virginia in the 17th century were referred to as “indentured servants” in some historical accounts, the vast majority did not come voluntarily and were trapped in bondage for life. That’s slavery. For the governor to retain any legitimacy during the rest of his term, he needs to educate himself fully and quickly on such issues and devise meaningful initiatives to address lingering inequality soon. Herring’s transgressions may be considered less troubling than Northam’s, but he, too, should work in good faith to support Northam’s efforts toward moving Virginia toward racial reconciliation. Regarding Fairfax, an investigation, perhaps conducted by the FBI, needs to happen immediately. It is vitally important to our society that we allow the rule of law to prevail. Whether it be Virginia’s current scandals or the Mueller investigation into connections between Russia and President Donald Trump, we cannot try cases in the court of public opinion or adopt a position of “guilty until proven innocent.” At the same time, holding elected office is a privilege and our government officials must be held to the highest standard.

Teacher pay

On Jan. 28, teachers from across Virginia demonstrated for better salaries and adequate funding for public schools. As they rallied on the Capitol steps, Republicans in the House of Delegates announced they, too, would include Northam’s 5-percent raise for teachers in their state budget plan. It’s about time. Few counties in Northern Virginia feel teacher pay inequity as keenly as Fauquier County, where teachers with 10 years’ experience earn about $10,000 less than those with similar experience in Prince William or Loudoun counties. Superintendent David Jeck cites the Great Recession-era decision to abandon the school division’s step pay scale with its automatic salary increases for experience and extra schooling as the primary reason teacher pay badly lags in Fauquier County. Jeck said he will likely address that disparity in his upcoming budget proposal to the county school board. Jeck was scheduled to deliver his spending plan Monday, but inclement weather will push his presentation to Monday, Feb. 18. There is no doubt teachers leave Fauquier County for better-paying opportunities elsewhere. Northam’s proposed 5-percent teacher salary bump is a start. But the fact it will apply across the state won’t help Fauquier County catch up to its neighboring school divisions. While we recognize the burden on counties to fund education, top-notch schools protect property values and draw businesses that boost the local tax base. We urge the county to find the local matching funds to provide teachers the estimated 5-percent raise from the state and to support other efforts to address pay compression within the local teaching ranks.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In early 1961, retired Commander Rutledge B. Barry, USNR, of Midland fashioned a pair of bookends that were accepted by President John F. Kennedy, who used them on his desk at the White House. The bookends are scale models of the 18-pound naval guns used in the 18th century on the USS Constellation and USS Bon Homme Richard.

75 Years Ago Feb. 17, 1944 A photograph of Sgt. Lyman C. “Buck” Hudson with a captured Japanese flame thrower at Munda in the South Pacific ran on the front page of the Democrat. Sgt. Hudson, the brother of Mrs. Frank Crandall of Warrenton, was serving in the Chemical Warfare Service. Upperville High School pupils have sold a total of $14,100 in War Bonds and stamps, Miss Nella B. Shute, principal, reports. Mr. and Mrs. J. North Fletcher have purchased Brookhill Farm, near New Baltimore, from Dr. and Mrs. Aubrey Fischer of Washington, D.C. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher have been occupying the property of John W. Daniel on The Springs road, which was recently sold to Col. Homer B. Petit. 50 Years Ago Feb. 20, 1969 Marshall’s recently organized Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8010 will meet the second Monday of each month in the Marshall bank building. Post 8010 Commander J. A. E. Piette said members recruited before April 25 will be considered charter members. Robert Lunsford says country stores are here to stay, and judging by his credentials, he is an authority on the subject. Mr. Lunsford, who owns the R&M Gro-

cery on Route 17 about three miles north of Warrenton, has been in the country store business for about 23 years. Pfc. Howard L. Marshall, 20, received a severe wound in his right arm in action in Vietnam with the 1st Air Cavalry on Jan. 17. After treatment in hospitals in Saigon and Japan, he was returned to Fort Belvoir. He is now home on leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Marshall Sr. of Warrenton. 25 Years Ago Feb. 16, 1994 Jim Rich of Middleburg has been appointed by Gov. George Allen to fill the unexpired term of Mark Warner, ending June 30, on the Commonwealth Transportation Board. After three years of testing and transition, the Sisters of Notre Dame of Cleveland, owners of Notre Dame Academy in Middleburg, announced Monday that they are discontinuing the operation and financial support of Notre Dame, effective July 1. It will become a private, independent Catholic school this summer. Further, it will become a community school, according to Dr. David Snyder, chairman of the Notre Dame advisory board. For Jerry Carter, activities director at Liberty High School, playing football at Fauquier High School until more bleachers are installed is not an option. “Liberty is our school. We should be able to play football there,” said Carter. –Compiled by John T. Toler

Rush to judgment Like so many, I have struggled with the offensive actions of our Virginia political leaders. I am not writing this to excuse, explain, rationalize or minimize any of the allegations or actions. I am writing to suggest that we take a collective breath and think carefully about our current political climate, and how we, as citizens, handle a crisis of confidence. Politics is a dirty game and has been since the founding of our nation. With the advent of the internet and such easy access to information going back decades, it is now much easier to dig up that dirt. We know that there are operatives on both sides who will do just that. I am highly uncomfortable with our current tendency to rush to judgment. A quote from Matthew (Chapter 7:3) reads, “And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” I’m guessing that some readers will say, yes, we’re not perfect but we’re not in a position of public trust. True enough. We all share something in common though: We are all flawed humans who have made mistakes and hopefully, learned something

as a result. Maybe even something that changed our thinking and the course of our lives for the better. Here is my hope: that we do a better job of looking at the big picture. How egregious is the offense, e.g., is it a hurtful or criminal act? What is the proof of the offense and how was it conveyed to us? What has an individual done in the intervening years? What contributions have they made? Is there any indication that the individual is still committing offensive acts or still displaying poor judgment? Based on the answers to those questions, we as an electorate can decide who stays in office and who must go. It doesn’t matter what political party we refer to. As we have seen, human error exists across the board. It is time to reconsider this “zero tolerance” attitude which in my view is arrogant, unfair and highly destructive. Let us instead inject a measure of reason, intellect and wisdom before jettisoning every political leader who has made a stupid, offensive mistake in their past. If not, who will be left to serve? Kathryn Kadilak The Plains

What has happened to us?

When did we stop listening to common sense and recognizing the decency in each other? And, when did we stop expecting our lawmakers to do the hard work of creating responsible legislation? I trust women. As a mother of three, I know a woman’s love for her child is the most powerful force on this planet. There is not a single woman in my life (and I would challenge you to find one in yours) that would choose to end a pregnancy in its final days unless the alternative meant causing undo suffering to her child, or risk of death to herself. Frankly, I believe the scenario in which a woman chooses to give birth even if her own life is at the risk to be far more likely than one in which she willy-nilly opts to abort her child in the last months of pregnancy simply out of “convenience” or worse ...because she is “pure evil.” A debate on a bill that lessens the stress on a family that faces an impossible choice is not Armageddon, but a people that can no longer see the good in one another, or a democracy that no longer works responsibly …just might be. The reality is… The Richmond Times Dispatch recently reported that the Virginia Department of Health has recorded zero third-term abortions performed in the state of Virginia since 2016, and only two have been reported since 2000. Reality would seem to support that this is not a procedure that women endure often or unless circumstances are dire, and so I ask: Why would a bill suggesting a lessening of restrictions on something

so rare, spark so much anger? And then there’s this… Why on earth when hundreds of our children are dying from gun violence every year, thousands are affected by poverty, drug addiction and underfunded public education, is this “narrowly”-crafted bill on abortion rights in the state of Virginia the one that creates such national outrage? In my humble opinion, the political machine (now amplified by social media) that continues to fuel division and dysfunction with misinformation and half-truths needs to be ignored! Why not use our own minds, our own life experiences, and a close examination of the facts to inform our position on any given issue – rather than memes, videos taken out of context and a partisan spin machine that relies on our outrage for its very survival? Abortion is an emotional issue, and in today’s climate ... so is gun safety, drug addiction and how we educate our children. But, if we continue to let emotion rather than common sense and factual evidence drive the national conversation, than we have only ourselves to blame for a legislative body that is unwilling to have the honest, substantive debate required to pass thoughtful, effective legislation. How about we foster a government that works to make things better for all of us? Richmond and Washington will do better …when we do better. Kim McCusker Warrenton

If you leave this establishment hungry, shame on you. To reinforce the popularity of the restaurant, its classic busiest days are Mother’s and Father’s Day. “We serve a tremendous number of people on those days. Our record is 1,900 people on one Mother’s Day,” said Mark Donovan. The restaurant seats 250 people, including its outside dining area. To ensure prompt service, a staff of about 60 people is employed as needed, including many part-time high-schoolers.

His success at managing the firm is giving his parents more opportunities to take time off from their demanding schedule. “It allows us to do more things on our own. “We have a lot of customers tell us what a great job Kyle is doing,” said Donna Donovan. “I see him taking over more and more of the business. He is very good and he’s taking our social media to another level.” Kyle is featured in a video on the company’s website. One segment of the business getting special attention is catering. Some modest catering occurred in the past, but it will intensify in the future. In addition to two catering trucks, a special trailer is being constructed to further advance this side of the business. Ironically, the trailer concept casts back to the Stringers earliest days bringing the business full circle. Two major catering events oc-

curred at Philip Carter Winery with successful crab and oyster feasts. An increasing number of similar events are planned. As the family takes aim at the restaurant’s 50th anniversary, Donna Donovan underscores their commitment to quality. “We use local crabs as much as we can, and all of our seafood is produced in the U.S. We buy the freshest seafood we can with no chemicals involved in its production. We pride ourselves on high quality. “It’s also gratifying to have longtime customers come back for a meal even if they’ve left the area. You lose a lot of people over the years as they move on. We consider our customers as part of our family and they come back to visit their favorite seafood restaurant.” Blue Ridge Seafood Restaurant is open six days a week and closed Mondays.

THIS YEAR, IT’S FAUQUIER Caitlyn Adair shined at regions.

Fauquier won its eighth region wrestling title in the last ten years last Saturday, a good sign heading into this weekend’s Class 4 state tournament in Fairfax. Liberty and Kettle Run also look strong.

Fisher’s title helps Falcons dethrone Liberty, 179-167 By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Even getting a leg up against Sam Fisher can be a downer. The Fauquier High junior showed in Saturday’s 182-pound final at the Class 4 Region C meet at Heritage High in Leesburg. Liberty’s Royce Hall shot in to grab Fisher’s leg early, but Fisher turned that precarious position into a 5-0 lead. Following Hall’s shot, Fisher quickly worked to his back and turned Hall for a near-fall en route to winning a region championship for the third consecutive season. Despite falling behind the Eagles by 14 points early, the Falcons won the team title 179-167. It was Fauquier’s eighth team title over the past 10 seasons after a rare runner-up finish last winter to the Region 4C champion Eagles. The Falcons’ title was unique from past ones, with Fisher being their only individual champion. “This has probably been my favorite one of all-time,” Falcons coach Doug Fisher said. “We’ve had some really tough teams in the past where we’ve come in and just rolled. But to come out of here with one champ, it tells you it’s a full team effort.” In every season since 2007-08, Fauquier had multiple individual region champions, including a program-record five last winter. On Saturday all 12 FHS wrestlers logged top-five finishes with seven medalists (top-four finishers). “Everyone’s pitching in up and down the lineup,” Sam Fisher said.

“We’ve had some really tough teams in the past where we’ve come in and just rolled. But to come out of here with one champ, it tells you it’s a full team effort.” – FHS COACH DOUG FISHER

“It’s just great to see. Everyone was firing on all cylinders.” Liberty had eight region medalists with champions in Mason Barrett (106 pounds), Justin Cannon (195) and William Phipps (285). Kettle Run added a program-best fourth with 110 points with a program-best three champions in Zane O’Connor (120), Alex Smith (138) and Gabe Chumley (170), as well as three other medalists. Fauquier led in the team standings only 149-148 following the consolation semifinals, but the Falcons went 2-0 in the consolation finals and 5-0 in the fifth place matches, amassing six pins over those seven bouts. “It didn’t mathematically [win the team title], but in reality it sealed the deal,” said Doug Fisher, whose team entered the finals with a 173-154 lead over the Eagles.

Fisher peaking for states

Sam Fisher added another six points for Fauquier by pinning Hall in 2 minutes, 44 seconds during the 182 final. A nationally-ranked wrestler and Virginia Tech recruit, Fisher didn’t panic after losing a leg to Hall early in the first period. “I had some urgency, but sometimes you know that you can score [in that situation] when other times you have to bail,” he said. “That time I was pretty confident I could score.” Fisher previously won a 160 re-

gion title as a freshman and a 170 championship as a sophomore. He also won state titles those seasons. This weekend he will try to become only the second three-time state champion in Fauquier history when the Falcons travel to Riverside on Friday and Robinson on Saturday for the Class 4 meet. “He’s just on a different level,” Doug Fisher said. “He’s ready for college.”

Four Falcons finish second

Elsewhere in the region finals Saturday, Eric DeWald finished as the 145 runner-up with other second-place finishes from Darryl Mayfield at 160, Kevin McEachin at 170 and Ben Bell at 195. “It wasn’t because of a lack of skill,” Doug Fisher said of them losing in the finals. “We have a really tough region and we lost to good kids. Bell, a sophomore who started wrestling as only an eighth grader, lost 4-1 to Liberty’s Cannon in the 195 final. “Went toe-to-toe with that kid,” Fisher said. “Just really, really proud of him.” Also a sophomore, DeWald lost 8-5 in the 145 final to Sherando’s Heath Rudolph after failing to even earn a region berth last season. McEachin, meanwhile, lost 14-6 to Kettle Run’s Chumley in the 170 final, while finishing third were Gino Camarca (132) and Thomas Heisler (285).

Jake Heenan and Caitlyn Adair each won a championship Saturday and combined for four runner-up swims to help Kettle Run’s boys and girls each log a top-four finish at the Class 4 Region C meet at Claude Moore Recreation Center in Sterling. Heenan had a hand in claiming four region medals (top-six individual, top-three relay) to help the Cougars boys place second, giving them a top-six region placement for the eighth consecutive season. They finished behind only Riverside, 432-229, while edging third-place Dominion (226 points) with Fauquier fifth (176) and Liberty 13th (four). Adair added a pair of medals and swam one team-record time to help the Kettle Run girls finish fourth (246) behind champion Riverside (417). Fauquier (23) was 12th and Liberty (15) 13th. That tied for the second-best in history for the Cougars’ girls. The Falcons, led by Jake Goldman, earned three state berths via race placement (top-five individual, topfour relay), while the Cougars amassed 11 state bids via placement with a few other state-qualifying times. Heenan won the 100-yard backstroke in 52.35 and was second in the 200 individual medley in 1:59.27 and had two runner-up relay teams. He joined Nick Maranto, Wiley Saville and Nathan Kim in the 200 medley relay in 1:46.66 and helped Kim, Lukas Baines and Maranto swim the 400 free in 3:21.58. Adair, meanwhile, won the 50 free by breaking her own team-record in 24.62, and she finished as the 100 back runner-up in 59.93 while swimming with a pair of fourth-place relay teams.

Liberty shines

In the 106 final, Liberty sophomore Mason Barrett earned his 100th win, beating Heritage’s Zachary Maisus 10-2. “I want him to get a pin all the time, but Mason’s a good kid. He’s very, very confident,” Eagles coach Wes Hawkins said. “Hopefully he’ll knock the 200-win mark off as a senior. See WRESTLE, Page 17

County hoops squads face do-or-die games Kettle Run boys look like best shot for region berth By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

A long week for the Kettle Run boys basketball team got longer on Friday when Liberty sophomore Russell Morton hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to send the rivalry into overtime. Fortunately, Cougar senior guards Ben Heflin and Caden DeCroo were prepared. Both knocked down several big shots as the Cougars ended a three-game losing streak with a 60-54 victory over the unlucky Eagles. Their reward was another head-to-head high stakes game in the Northwestern District quarterfinals Tuesday with No. 3 Kettle Run hosting No. 6 Liberty. “We hope we can keep the momentum going,” said Washington, whose guys lost three in a row to Fauquier, Sherando and Handley last week but still finished 8-4 in conference.

Liberty closed out the girls basketball regular season with a 35-24 win over visiting Kettle Run. The win raised Liberty to 5-7 in the final Northwestern District standings and 5-17 overall. Kettle Run, which dropped to 0-12 and 3-19, had another rough third quarter. “It’s the infamous third quarter. We’d been doing pretty good lately, but this whole week we had a rough third quarter,” said Kettle Run coach Ellen Allen, whose Cougars did not score in the period versus Fauquier Feb. 4 and had only one point the next day at Sherando. Liberty was coming off its best game of the season, a Senior Night 49-42 upset of Handley on Feb. 5. The Judges entered the game tied for second in the district standings. “It seems everybody decided to do their jobs on the same night.

Falcons sail into states on high note By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Substantial quality and depth are necessary to contend for team titles in regional track meets. Fauquier had both Friday in the 12-school Region 4C indoor championships event at Hagerstown (Md.) Community College, leading to a second-place effort by the Falcon girls and third place showing by the Falcon boys. The Class 4 meet is Feb. 22-23 at Roanoke College. The top three individual winners, top three relays and any previous qualifiers advanced. “I am very excited with where we ended up, especially the girls finishing second,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones. The FHS girls finished behind powerful Loudoun Valley, 118-70, while the Falcon boys posted 73 to finish behind Handley (90) and Loudoun Valley (89). After spanking the Handley boys by 30 points at the Northwestern District meet, the dynamics changed at regions with the Dulles District added. “Not everything went our way, but I was very, very happy with the day,” Jones said. “There were a lot of firsts. Handley was impressive to win it.” Nevertheless, Fauquier advances to states in strong position with six relay teams. “That’s a first in my 20 years,” Jones said proudly of the state berths for the boys and girls 800, 1,600 and 3,200-meter relay squads. Another breakthrough saw the Falcons win the boys and girls 55 hurdles, another first in Jones’ era. Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run athletes combined to earn seven gold, nine silver and nine bronze medals.

Falcons start strong

Fauquier’s confidence level rose noticeably with

the first running event as Eva Del Gallo, Annie Del Gallo, Kelsey Gastley and Madeleine Hayes combined for silver in the 3,200 relay in 10:14.97. Fauquier’s boys next went head-to-head with the Loudoun Valley juggernaut. The quartet of Patrick Atwell, Austin Fernandez, Nick Matthews and Josh Moylan registered a season-best 8:16.91, earning the region championship by .32 of a second. “I think we needed that race. With the weather we hadn’t had a lot of good races,” Jones said. “That really helped the kids moving on to states.” Kayla Pavlock took the girls shot put at 37-5, with Cammi Winston winning the 55 hurdles in 9.44. Isaiah Brothers won the boys 55 hurdles in 8.33 and later combined with Atwell, Matthews and Moylan to win their meet-ending 1,600 relay in 3:33.92. Falcon silver medalists included Matthews in the 1,000 (2:36.88), Hayes in the 500 (1:24,96) and Sydney Trussell in the 300 (44.07). The girls 800 relay (Trussell, Camryn Bland, Winston and Katey Bern) was second, as was the 1600 relay (Bern, Bland, Gastley, Hayes). Ryan McDaniel-Neff was third in the girls 300 in 45.77 while Brothers (high jump, 5-4) and Moylan (500, 1:09.39) earned bronze medals, as did the foursome of Brothers, Donte Grant, Miller and Darrien Mascall in the boys 4x200 (1:38.98).

Liberty’s Rodman wins 1,000

Liberty sophomore Sam Rodman was the lone county non-Falcon athlete to win. Using a strong final lap sprint, he captured gold in the 1,000 in 2:36.33. Liberty’s Darrion Allen was second in the 55 in 6.9. Kristeena Kenny added a third in the girls 55 at 7.76. Zachary Wilkins cleared 11-6 to place third in the pole vault. Kettle Run had three second place finishes, in-

Kettle Run’s remaining two runners-up included Hannah Unger, who cleared a season-best 4-10 in the high jump and Ryan Schaefer in the 300 in 38.44. Cougars winning bronze were Gavin Burnett (300, 38.85) and Brooke Arthur (pole vault, 7-6). The Cougars also won two bronze medals In fourth place were Logan Rapp (shot put, 447.25) and Adalia Coleman (55 dash, 7.81). Coleman, Honesty Taylor, Hayley Sandler and Emma Smith ran to fifth in the 800 relay in 1:57.91, while Mary Kate Behan (shot put, 32-4) was sixth.

Heflin, DeCroo help Cougars survive Eagles HOOPS, from Page 14

“We definitely clinched a No. 3 spot tonight. We would just like to keep going. This game helps.” Washington’s squad played four games in five days last week, but should be better rested for their third game with Liberty. “It’s been really tough. We had some breakdowns throughout the week defensively but tonight I thought we did a great job,” said Washington. For Kettle Run, watching Liberty nail a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to head into overtime could have led to a fourth straight loss, but the Cougars saw it as an opportunity. Heflin sunk a spectacular spinning shot in the lane and drilled two clutch free throws while also finding DeCroo for a huge 3-pointer to get the Cougars started on a 7-0 run in overtime. “Ben drove and he made a great pass,” DeCroo said of his clutch 3-pointer. “I trusted myself and I took it. I felt like it was going in.” The long-range-bucket was DeCroo’s fourth 3-pointer of the game to give him 12 points on the night, none bigger than the overtime basket. Heflin scored 20 points and was unstoppable at times driving in the lane and creating his own shot. “I was really proud of both Caden [DeCroo] and Ben [Heflin],” Washington said. “It has been a re-

ally tough week with all the losses for Ben since he is a captain and a leader. For Caden to have that breakout tonight was really good to see. With him it is about confidence and he found that confidence.” Kettle Run went into the fourth quarter clinging to a one-point lead and went on an 8-0 run by shutting out Liberty over the first four minutes. Eagle Tre’Von White (6 points) nearly sparked another Eagles comeback in overtime with a massive dunk followed by a steal and a layup, but Kettle Run was able to secure the game from the free-throw line.

Hawks’ boys dominating DAC

The Highland School boys basketball team improved to 10-0 in the Delaney Athletic Conference with a 73-56 victory over Seton last Thursday. The Hawks (19-5) steadily asserted control, leading 21-12 after the first quarter, 39-22 at halftime and 58-39 lead entering the fourth. Cam Timmons scored 16 points, Darret Justice 13, Angelo Brizzi 12 and James Jasper 10. Highland was coming off a 76-65 loss to Miller, the No. 2 team in the latest VISAA Division II state poll and the defending state champion. The No. 6 Hawks trailed 15-14 after the first quarter and 31-29 at halftime, but the Mavericks entered the fourth quarter with a 53-46 advantage.

LFCC Training Students to Meet Growing Demand For Skilled Trades By SALLY VOTH Lord Fairfax Community College

WARRENTON, VA – The region is flush with job openings for plumbers and other skilled trades. And, LFCC Workforce Solutions is working hard to help employers fill those positions. A good way to attain a well-paying job in the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, heavy-equipment operator and other trades is through workforce training programs offered by LFCC Workforce Solutions in Fauquier County. “There’s a huge need for these trades folks in the commercial, residential and industrial sectors,” Carlene Hurdle, the Fauquier Campus’s workforce director, says. “Almost every day, people come in to our office wanting to talk to our students about their job openings.” “One of the greatest things about these workforce programs is our students graduate with little to no debt. And, it’s the fastest way out of poverty. Salaries are becoming so competitive as companies

There may also be financial aid available for those who qualify. The trades programs for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and HEO are hybrids, meaning they meet for one night a week, completing their homework online. Workforce Solutions has started engaging with area high schools when it comes to developing a National Center for Construction Education

and Research (NCCER) curriculum. “We use a national curriculum by industry for industry to teach these classes,” Hurdle explains. That way, students can take what they’ve learned so far with them anywhere. “High school students can begin taking these classes during the last six months of their senior year,” Hurdle says. “It’s convenient for them because the classes meet just one night a week. They can graduate and be ready to get started with an employer while continuing to progress in the classes.” The electrical and HVAC classes meet at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Fauquier, the plumbing classes at the Fauquier Campus, and the HEO ones at the LFCC Vint Hill site. Those students who are working for companies that are in the Virginia Registered Apprenticeship Program through the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry can complete an apprenticeship. LFCC Workforce Solutions offers coursework for apprenticeships in a variety of trades, including plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Those courses are divided into four sections, with students able to complete two sections a year, according to Hurdle, and at the end of all four, they sit for a journeyman’s exam. “When an individual

completes a registered apprenticeship, they get a credential that is recognized nationwide,” says Scott Carlson, who works with Workforce Solutions as the apprenticeship grant coordinator with the Shenandoah Valley Workforce Development Board. In addition to their classroom work, apprentices receive one-on-one mentorship under a journeyman or master craftsman, he says. Currently, there are more than 30 apprentices taking their classwork at LFCC Workforce Solutions. Many of them work for employers who participate in the Valley to Virginia Registered Apprenticeship Grant program through the workforce development board. Justin Goldsborough, of Front Royal, is one of those apprentices. He is currently in the Level-4 electrical class. He will complete his course in mid-February. Prior to becoming an electrician, Goldsborough worked in the healthcare field. “Electrical work was something that I had an interest in, but didn’t know a whole lot about, so I decided to enroll in the Workforce classes,” he says. “I knew it could come

with a good salary, and was a good trade, something I could be proud of.” Goldsborough has been happy with his courses at LFCC. “I feel like the teachers are really knowledgeable and experienced,” he says. “The location is convenient – I don’t have to go to Northern Virginia.” Employers who are registered apprenticeship sites often pay for the workforce courses. Grants and financial aid are also available to qualified students. For more information, visit LFCCWorkforce.com/Trades, or call 540-868-7021.

The trail will pick up at the end of the existing White’s Mill trail.

The Woods of Warrenton will add to county trail network Staff Reports A collaborative effort will soon add another opportunity for citizens to enjoy the outdoors. It was announced Friday, Feb. 8, that The PATH Foundation is partnering with the Virginia Department of Transportation and Fauquier County to fund the construction of a 1.3-mile, offroad pedestrian and bicycle trail connecting three subdivisions in Fauquier County. The PATH Foundation will contribute $528,332 towards the completion of the trail. The Virginia Department of Transportation has awarded $520,030 for the project, and Fauquier County and other local partners have contributed the final $130,863 required for the construction. “We are excited by the prospect of the new Woods at Warrenton trail,” said PATH Foundation program officer Andy Johnston. “It will be a great way to encourage outdoor recreation and healthy habits. We’re really looking forward to seeing how extending the greenways throughout Fauquier County will make our community brighter.” “The Woods of Warrenton trail will be an exciting addition to the county trail network, providing a scenic route through a protected wetland

area that produces a number of unique native plant species and is home to various wildlife,” said assistant director of parks and recreation Gary Rzepecki. “This grant funding provided by the PATH Foundation will greatly benefit the continued promotion of healthy living for every Fauquier County citizen.” In addition to connecting the White’s Mill, Warrenton Chase and Woods at Warrenton subdivisions, the trail will stretch for five uninterrupted miles, further contributing to the county’s longterm goal of constructing a series of trails surrounding Warrenton. “This significant contribution by the PATH Foundation to the Woods at Warrenton trail project serves as another example of its commitment to the health and well-being of Fauquier County citizens,” said Don Johnson, chairman of the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation board. “The important link between the White’s Mill trail and Warrenton Chase trail will offer county citizens a longer trail for improved physical fitness, experiencing the wetland habitat along Cedar Run and install a vital link in the overall trail proposed to loop around Warrenton,” Johnson added. “The

The new trail will allow visitors to experience protected wetland areas, including this creek near the middle of the trail. Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Board is extremely grateful for all that PATH does to enhance the lives of county citizens and has special esteem for this partnership.” The first access point for the Woods at Warrenton trail will be at the end of Academy Hill Drive, and from there, the trail is expected to wind through 58 acres of county-owned land. The trail will also incorporate existing environmental features and provide passive recreation opportunities, such as nature observation or bird watching. A county-wide needs assessment conducted by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation department found that greenway trails for walking, biking and hiking are the top recreational investment priority for county residents.

Podcasts tackle teenage angst and social media Former Obama White House Advisor Marc Groman and leading adolescent medicine specialist Dr. David Reitman recently launched a new podcast, “Their Own Devices.” This weekly podcast is to help parents raise responsible digital citizens who engage with technology in a safe, fun, healthy and productive manner. Smartphones and other connected devices give kids unprecedented educational, creative and social value. But they also can trigger issues faster than we can combat them: anxiety, depression, fear of missing out, sleep deprivation, privacy invasion, oversharing

and other questionable behavior. The rapid pace of technological change can be overwhelming for even the most engaged parents. On top of that, some tech companies and application developers are happy to exploit our kids’ natural weaknesses, according to a news release. The podcast’s aim is to connect with parents, providing helpful, practical, and straightforward information that families can discuss together as they seek to develop a beneficial, healthy and productive relationship with technology and digital media. Specifically, parents can expect: • Candid discussions about the digital

Founder of White Grass Ski Touring Center widely known and beloved By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Wild, wonderful West Virginia? True enough. But the state’s slogan might also fittingly apply to Chip Chase. Chase is the whirling dervish owner of White Grass and is everywhere present at one of the most popular cross-country skiing centers in the nation. Nearly 25 years ago the Washington Post named it one of the best 10 Nordic ski areas in the country. Chase hasn’t taken his foot off his snowy gas pedals since. If you are looking for the perfect definition of authenticity, then a trip to White Grass is de rigueur. Nestled on the northern slope of Cabin Mountain in Davis, West Virginia, the resort is one of the oldest “free-heeling” ski venues in the country opening in 1979. More impressively, its current lodge dates to 1959 when it served as an early downhill ski resort. The magic starts when you step into the lodge and simultaneously back in time. All in one footfall. Chances are good Chase will be there to greet you. “Hey, good to see you.” Typically followed by a wave, handshake or hug. His voice is so distinct you can hear it above the raucous din of a packed lodge when you think they can’t possibly get another skier inside the small building. His banter bounces around the room like a laser light show: “You do the same!” “Want a sip of shine?” (seriously) “Go pick out a pair of boots, we’ll make a deal.” “Conditions are ideal. Get out there and ski!” And on and on. The man was vaccinated with a phonograph needle as evidenced by his nonstop chatter. But what you are really hearing is the sound of love coming from him and ricocheting back from his legion of fans. “I just love people. People turn me on. They just get me excited. If I see somebody I know, I get a rush in my body. I just want to hug them. “I learned that from my mom, Janie, who was super-friendly. She taught me everything I know about loving people. I just happen to be in the kind of business where that works,” said Chase. To reinforce his mother’s influence, a 1948 photo of her holding a set of ski poles is prominently displayed in the lodge. A beautiful woman with Chase’s knowing smile.

In the beginning

So how did a self-described “Air Force brat” grow up to become the owner of a legendary ski resort? First, with Chase, “grow up” is loosely defined both emotionally and

White Grass caters to skiing enthusiasts whenever there’s enough snow on the ground to head out. physically. The “Chipper,” 65, is a slim, athletic man who has never won a tallest-man-in-theroom contest. And secondly, if someone told Chase he Chip Chase had to grow up when he was young, it’s likely he would have suggested where they could stick the idea. Yes, he’s successful. Yes, he’s a savvy businessman. And yes, he’s a loving husband and father of a daughter and three sons. But he would emphatically refuse to wear a “grown-up” label that might be taken as the aura of conventionality. His badge of honor is childlike exuberance. And it’s contagious. As a young lad, he traveled the world as the son of an Air Force father who was a downhill skier and sportsman. Chase first learned to ski in Alaska and Colorado while the family lived there but later gave the sport up. “Then one winter I went up to New England to visit my sister and I got turned on to cross- country skiing. I was 19. My whole family were downhill skiers. There weren’t many cross-country skiers back then,” said Chase. “It was like people felt sorry for you if you cross-country skied.” Back home in Virginia, he met his second wife. “Laurie and I had three boys together and have been married almost 40 years. I had a previous marriage and it was awesome and I have a wonderful daughter from that marriage.” Chase lived in Northern Virginia while his father worked at the Pentagon and Laurie originally hailed

from Strasburg. But the young suburban couple loved country living and moved to the Shenandoah Valley, got married and set up “sorta a homesteading life together.” “We were into a kind of subsistence living. I was a back-to-thelander and worked all kinds of jobs; carpentry, apple picking, chimney sweep. I did a little bit of everything to make ends meet.” From the suburbs to living in the mountains is where the White Grass journey began. Chase’s emerging love of cross-country triggered an idea to start a ski place around Harrisonburg, Virginia. Unfortunately, nature did not cooperate with sufficient natural snow. Hearing that Canaan Valley, West Virginia, had reliable snowfalls, he discovered an old downhill ski resort south of Davis that had success written all over its weathered facade. Nearly four decades later, the genius of not tearing down that original building and turning it into a homey, retro cross-country venue is evident to thousands of his loyal skiers. As the ski operation took off, a café was opened to feed the growing kick and glide crowd. Its food reputation is equal to that of the skiing, resulting in popular cookbooks written by his wife Laurie, who heads up the kitchen. Chase says, “The café is great. We serve international cuisine focused on healthy foods. Its operation is subsidized by ski revenues. We never tell the kitchen there are too many expensive ingredients. We just tell them one thing: Cook! And to never hurry up. “The café is a no-brainer. Skiers come in here so hungry after skiing they’re chewing their arm off,” said Chase. As White Grass sets its sights on

the future Chase says, “I feel pretty healthy. I eat well. I sleep well, and I don’t have many physical ailments. The farmer that I rent this land from is 97 years old and going strong; 65 is today’s 45. “We started with a simple goal and if you take baby steps toward reaching such a goal, it makes it even better when you achieve it. It’s so much fun,” said a grinning Chase. White Grass ski resort is open whenever the snow flies or lays packed on its trails. If you don’t cross-country ski, consider renting top-quality equipment and taking a lesson. Or rent or bring your snowshoes and explore the 18 miles of mountain and pasture trails. Oh, and bring your appetite. For the complete White Grass story, including trail conditions and webcam photos, visit www.whitegrass.com. For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

Didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas?

In order to help ensure that they will be remembered in the way they want, some individuals take on the task of writing their own obituaries. This written notice of a person’s death may be brief or long, depending on where it appears and how comprehensive it is meant to be. Aside from including the date of death and the time and place of the funeral or memorial service, the obituary may also make specific mention about wishes for where donations may be made in the deceased’s name. An obituary also includes biographical information such as details about family, education, employment and military service, awards and achievements, primary interests, and a photograph (if desired). Writing your own obituary can be part of your life and end-of-life planning. Death is unavoidable and thus something we should prepare for. Although you might not want to think about preplanning your funeral, it’s something that everyone should at least give some thought to. If not for your own peace-of-mind, then for the well-being of those you leave behind. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 3473431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton. “Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.” – Michael Landon

Fauquier Times | February 13, 2019

15 favorite movies for date night Valentine’s Day – marked by flowers and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate – is celebrated in the U.S. and other countries around the world. The holiday isn’t solely for couples; school children often exchange cards or candy hearts. All those candy hearts and boxes of chocolate add up to big business. American’s are expected to spend about $1.8 billion on sweets for the holiday, topping the sale of jewelry and other popular traditional purchases, according to the American Retail Federation. But where did Valentine’s Day begin? Its roots go back to both Christian and ancient Roman traditions. The ancient Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia from Feb. 13 to 15. In the fifth century, Pope Gelasius eliminated the pagan celebration of Lupercalia and declared Feb. 14 St. Valentine’s Day to celebrate the martyrdom of Saint Valentine. Valentine’s Day became romanticized through the works of Chaucer and Shakespeare. Written valentine greetings began to appear in the 1400s and the first mass-produced valentines in America were sold in the 1840s. Today, an estimated 145 million

Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, second only to the number of cards sent at Christmas. While many consider Valentine’s Day the perfect time to explore a new restaurant and plan a night on the town, others prefer a low key Valentine’s Day at home. If you fall into the latter category, consider curling up with the one you love and a good movie. The library’s collection contains almost 5,000 DVDs, including popular romantic comedies. With so many options to choose from, consider these staff favorites – all available at your local Fauquier County Public Library.

• “The Big Sick” • “Big Stone Gap” • “Brooklyn” • “Casablanca” • “Pillow Talk” • “The Princess Bride” • “Sabrina” (1954 ) • “Sabrina” (2001) • “Say Anything” • “Sleepless in Seattle” • “Something’s Got to Give” • “Ten Things I Hate About You” • “The Way We Were” • “The Umbrellas of Cherbourg” • “When Harry Met Sally” – Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Fauquier County Public Library

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 5:307:30 p.m. on Friday nights in its fellowship hall, 6903 Blantyre Road in Warrenton.

Shakespeare in The Plains “Romeo and Juliet” plays through Feb. 17 By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The staging of “Romeo and Juliet” cries out for a balcony so the hall at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains fills the bill nicely. The second-floor balcony overlooks the church hall. Audience seating on the floor is close enough to the actors that those in the front row may feel part of it. The Shakespeare Opera Theatre has made Grace Episcopal, at 6507 Main St., its performance home. The professional acting company previously performed at the Hylton Center in Manassas and spent 2017 at various locations in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties. This is the company’s second year at Grace. Maggie Ramsey, a mezzo soprano singer and production assistant with the company, noted before a recent dress rehearsal that theaters are expensive to rent so being able to use space in a church hall is a welcome alternative. For the church, the arrangement brings entertainment that its congregation and the broader public can enjoy. Grace Episcopal is already heav-

ily involved in the arts in other ways through its annual Piedmont Regional Art Show and a concert series. Dark Horse Theatre recently concluded a run of the stage play “Craving for Travel.” The Shakespeare Opera Theatre opened the current season with “Amahl and the Night Visitors,” a one-act opera that tells the story of the three kings on their way to Bethlehem. The run of “Romeo and Juliet” with music by Berlioz opened Feb. 8 and concludes this week with performances at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 14, 15, and 16 and 5 p.m. on Feb. 17. Adult tickets are $55 apiece. Youth tickets are priced at $45 for those 18 to 25 years old. Children under 18 are admitted for $35. There are group (for 15 or more) and season subscription discounts. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at shakespeareoperatheatre.com. Shakespeare Opera Theatre will perform “Elizabethan Entertainments” in May and “Vive La France” in July. More information about the theater company can be found at shakespeareoperatheatre.com. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Historic home available in Remington Established in the mid-1800s, Remington was the site of the First and Second Battle of Rappahannock Station during the Civil War. The town was infamously raided multiple times by the legendary Col. John S. Mosby. Representing a piece of Virginia’s history, this quaint town stands just outside of Warrenton and its homes and shops still exhibit original historic features and downtown charm.  Built in 1900, 206 North Church St. represents a prime example of the town’s history. It is a beautifully preserved colonial home in the heart of downtown Remington. The traditional front porch, stone and brick foundation and well-preserved exterior features create an impressive first

impression complemented by the home’s original carriage house situated on a generously sized lot.  Once you enter the front door, it is obvious that the original character and design elements are also carried throughout the home’s interior spaces. This charming example of period architecture and construction include the original moldings, 9-foot tall ceilings, beautifully crafted pristine wood floors, large modern windows fitted within the original casings, the hand-crafted staircase, classic colonial front porch and flagstone patio around the back of the home that borders a spacious deck.  While well-preserved, the home’s recent improvements carefully integrate essential modern

amenities including windows, HVAC, plumbing, insulation, paint inside and out, a spacious deck, modern kitchen, granite counters, stainless appliances and updated bathrooms.  While still presenting its original exterior shell, the outbuilding that seems to have once been used for horses can now host a workshop or garage and provides electricity.  This lovely home offers a ton of character and is move-in ready.

right at the intersection from downtown Remington and make a U-turn or roundabout with restricted crossing (R-cut) conversion to restrict the current intersection turn. This imposition would be blocked by a concrete island where none exists currently. Three additional pavement turn lanes would be constructed within the current adjoining right-of-way. According to VDOT, the proposed R-cut conversion could reduce auto crashes at the intersection. In May 2018, the Remington Town Council approved the “full

R-cut concept” presented by VDOT. However last week, the Remington Town Council withdrew its support and endorsement of the full R-cut concept for the intersection of U.S. 29 and Freemans Ford Road. While the council supports and endorses improving the safety of the subject intersection, it now requests that a another option be developed, that does not involve the many VDOT-proposed turning constraints on U.S. 29. The next Remington Town Council meeting will be on March 11.

Salt Injury on Ornamentals

Salt (sodium chloride) applied as a deicing agent on streets and sidewalks can cause severe damage to many species of roadside and lawn ornamentals. Damage results when the salt, dissolved in runoff water, is leached into the root zone or when it comes in contact with foliage and branches in the form of spray created by passing vehicular traffic. Plant sensitivity to salt varies greatly among species and among individuals of the same species. Many ornamentals exhibit a very high degree of tolerance while others, particularly shallow-rooted species and evergreens, are readily injured. Symptoms of salt injury may not always be well-defined and often resemble those caused by other adverse environmental factors, particularly drought or air pollution. Affected plants commonly exhibit some or all of the following symptoms: Delay in leaf bud break and flowering, stunted foliage and buds, reduced shoot growth, tip or marginal foliage browning, crown thinning and tufting of foliage at branch tips, premature fall coloration and defoliation, and twig mortality. Crown dieback, invasion by insect borers and weakly pathogenic fungi, and eventually total plant mortality occur in severe instances.

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | February 13, 2019

OBITUARIES Frances “Fran” Minnich Frances “Fran” Minnich, 83, died Feb. 8 at Rockingham Memorial Hospital in Harrisonburg, VA. She passed away in the company of family.
