Fauquier Republicans head to the polls Saturday

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier Republicans will answer their party’s call to come to Fauquier High School on Saturday to elect a new chairman and fill committee spots.

Sometime after 4 p.m. it should be known whether Harry Burroughs or Greg Schumacher will succeed Fauquier County Republican Chairwoman Kay Hayes, who is not seeking another term.

Committee will pick new chair, 94 voting members Hayes has endorsed Burroughs, the current vice chairman for precinct organization.

Both Burroughs and Schumacher say they see a need for greater unity in the party and respect for other points of view.

Burroughs points to his record as a precinct organizer, which involves organizing and staffing community events, staffing the polls on Election Day, designing sample ballots to dis-

tribute on Election Day and procuring campaign yard signs.

Schumacher says little has been done to grow the party. He points to a decline in committee membership, a lack of transparency in decision-making and intolerance for other points of view.

Two years ago, the party narrowly re-elected Hayes as chairman over Peter Popovich.

Factions within the party have

been at odds for several years over the handling of a 2014 election for chairman and more recently over claims that committee leadership has not been following rules and bylaws.

The ongoing and escalating titfor-tat trade dispute between the U.S. and China has left Fauquier farmers and their counterparts elsewhere in the lurch as planting season gets underway.

On April 4, China announced a planned 25-percent increase in the tariff on imported soybeans. Cars and chemicals also were targeted.

This followed the Trump administration’s targeting of Chinese electronics the day before, which came after China proposed increased tariffs on 128 American products, including pork and wine.

Then, President Trump followed up by threatening tariffs on another $100 billion worth of goods from China. A country’s tariffs make imported products costlier for consumers. There’s still an opportunity for both countries to negotiate, but meanwhile, American producers are living with uncertainty.

“Any time you put restrictions on trade, the other party is certain to reciprocate,” said John Scheid, president of the Fauquier Farm Bureau.

“It’s not good. The Republicans used to be for free trade. Any time there are restrictions, you lose.”

From Pre-K to Master’s

personal journey began with a trip to Guatemala in 2009 that she garnered as the result of an educational grant. An artisan herself, Lee loves sewing, weaving, quilting, making baskets and other forms of art. While in Guatemala she took a weaving class taught by a group of Mayan women who had formed their own cooperative.

Lee was impressed and inspired. As she held up the lavender-colored woven scarf that she produced from that class, she got a bit teary as she recalled the moment on the flight back that she knew what she wanted to do with her life. She wanted to market their products. It was the perfect way for her to help them help themselves.

It was a calling of sorts for sure. One that she prayed about and made the decision to pursue. She was already helping a missionary friend of hers sell paper beads made by women in Uganda so might as well add a few more products.

Lee started selling online and doing the craft fair circuit all the while gathering information about fair trade products. She worked for a while at Ten Thousand Villages to learn more about the retail end. One thing was happening for sure. When people saw the products, they loved them and they bought them. Serendipity was a factor as well when a space opened at 104 Main St. in Warrenton in 2010. Lee was already familiar with the crowds that filled the town during the holidays. So, she took a leap of faith and calculated risk to open her first brick-and-mortar store. That Christmas, her store was packed and she sold out of most of her items. Lee was humbled and grateful that the word of her store spread. A

Lee Owsley teacher at the time, Lee made the decision to eventually retire from that and dedicate herself solely to her business venture.

By 2014, her husband Terry took the reins at their second store in Fredericksburg and a third, run by one of her daughters, has opened in Staunton.

Lee’s passion, energy and positive outlook clearly impressed the group of women who marveled at her drive and dedication, discipline and determination to take her vision into reality. Her journey isn’t over as Lee travels regularly to visit artisans around the world connecting small communities with the international fair-trade network.

It’s exciting, it’s challenging but it’s a risk that has yielded tenfold rewards for not only her and her family but everyone who shares her vision.

If you haven’t stepped off Main Street to walk through the doors at Latitudes you’re missing a magical, colorful retail store that is worth the experience. You also have the opportunity to make a difference in the life of somewhere faraway. That’s a special connection.

New law puts focus on suicide prevention efforts

By Scott Malone

Capital News Service

RICHMOND — As suicides have risen in Virginia — including a 29-percent increase among children in 2016 — Gov. Ralph Northam has signed legislation calling on state officials to report how they are addressing the problem.

House Bill 569, introduced by Del. Wendy Gooditis, D-Clarke, requires the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to report annually its progress and activities on suicide prevention. The report will go to the governor and General Assembly.

The bill is of special significance to Gooditis, who was elected in November to represent the 10th House District, which includes parts of Clarke, Frederick and Loudoun counties. During the first two weeks of her candidacy, Gooditis lost her brother to alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder.

“He had a number of suicide attempts. It was part of the reason I was running in the first place. I found him dead two weeks after I announced my candidacy,” Gooditis said. “At that point, I don’t think anyone would’ve penalized me for quitting. But I had met so many who needed help, I couldn’t quit. I had to run and try to get the seat to try to speak for people who need someone to speak for them.”

Northam signed Gooditis’ bill last month — about the time that the state’s Office of the Chief Medical Ex-

aminer released its latest annual report on causes of death in Virginia.

Compiled by Kathrin Hobron, a forensic epidemiologist, the study provides statistical details on deaths that occurred in 2016, including homicides, suicides, accidents and other causes.

The report states that it “reveals several trends of which the citizens and leaders of Virginia should be aware.”

Those trends include a spike in suicide rates for children (defined as 17 and younger) in Virginia. In 2016, the rate was the highest it has been in at least 18 years.

In 1999, the report said, 23 children in Virginia committed suicide — a rate of 1.3 suicides per 100,000 population. In 2015, 35 children committed suicide in the state. In 2016, the number jumped to 45 child suicides — or 2.4 suicides per 100,000 children.

“Child suicides are very similar to adult suicides as they occur more frequently in males (roughly 62 percent) and whites (roughly 78 percent).

White males have the highest rate of child suicide,” the report stated.

Twenty-two — almost half — of the 45 child suicides in Virginia in 2016 involved firearms, usually handguns. That was the most common method of child suicide, followed by asphyxiation.

Under Virginia law, it is a misdemeanor to “recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in such a manner as to endanger the life or limb of any child under the age of fourteen.” Even

so, some children manage to obtain a gun and commit suicide each year.

Gooditis said in an interview that she was familiar with the medical examiner’s report. It further demonstrates that something must be done, she said.

“It’s just horrific. We have to intervene and teach [children] ways of handling their emotions so those emotions don’t take over,” Gooditis said.

The number of suicides of Virginians of all ages also has increased in recent years. In 2016, it reached 1,156 — up from 1,097 the previous year. By comparison, there were 884 suicides statewide in 2006.

In 2017, the General Assembly passed a bill requiring the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to issue a one-time

report about its suicides prevention measures. HB 569 builds on that legislation by having the agency report on its efforts every year.

In its report last year, the department updated the governor and the General Assembly on projects such as the Lock and Talk Virginia Campaign, which aims to reduce suicides by restricting individuals’ access to firearms and poisons when they are in a mental health crisis. The agency also discussed its efforts to educate the public on how to recognize and respond to suicidal warning signs.

Under the bill Northam signed into law March 19, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services must issue such a report by Dec. 1 every year.

Warrenton man arrested after standoff with police

A Warrenton man was arrested Thursday after a brief standoff with police in the Leeds Square neighborhood.

Both Warrenton police and Fauquier County sheriff’s deputies responded at about 7:46 p.m. April 5 to a lower-level unit in the 100 block of Leeds Court West in response to a report of “a man with a gun,” Police Chief Louis Battle said in a press release.

The caller reported that Roxie Edward Clater, 61, of Warrenton, had brandished a loaded firearm, threatened suicide, then fired two rounds . . . inside the residence and refused to come outside, according to a police press release Police set up a perimeter, told other residents to stay inside and established communication with the man.

Clater eventually came outside, was subdued by officers and eventually taken into custody. He was found to be “extremely intoxicated,” police said.

Clater was charged with discharging a firearm in an occupied dwelling, brandishing a firearm and reckless handling of a firearm. Clater was being held without bond, the press release said.

The Wallach Building: consecrated, repurposed… and demolished

By John Toler

Associate Editor

Now long gone, the building that once occupied the northwest corner of the intersection of Lee and Culpeper streets in Warrenton — site of the present-day Fauquier County Circuit Courthouse — had a long, varied history.

Founded in 1818, the Warrenton Methodist Episcopal Church had been meeting in a small-frame structure near the site of present-day Lee and Second streets.

By the 1840s, much of the block facing Culpeper Street from Hotel to Lee streets was owned by Richard M. Smith, a member of the congregation. He had bought the property from the heirs of Thaddeus Norris, and operated the Warren Academy, a classical boys’ school, on the site of the present-day Warren Green Building.

In 1843, Smith donated a lot at the corner of Culpeper and Lee to the trustees of the church, and work started on a new building. Completed in 1847, the three-story brick structure would be witness to much history.

After the Fauquier County Courthouse burned in 1853, Circuit Court met in the basement of the church until the new courthouse was built.

Due to the rising sentiments that led to the Civil War, after the church was finished the congregation split,

Built in 1847, the Warrenton Methodist Episcopal Church, South at the corner of Culpeper and Lee streets served the congregation until 1912. with those members with Northern sympathies leaving to start their own church on Main Street, which was completed in 1854 and known as the Methodist Episcopal Church, North.

Those supporting the Southern cause remained on Culpeper Street at the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

With the outbreak of Civil War in 1861, the Northern church was abandoned. But as was the case with most of the churches in Warrenton, both buildings were used as hospitals and headquarters by the troops occupying the town.

After the war, the Methodist, South congregation resumed regular services in the Culpeper Street

church, and the Northern Methodists returned briefly to Main Street.

However, a deed of trust on the property was closed in 1869, and the building purchased by William H. Gaines, who later sold it to the Town of Warrenton to be used as a municipal building and firehouse.

The Methodist Church, South was spared in the 1909 fire, which raged behind it on Ashby Street. The following year, St. James’ Episcopal Church, just down the street, was virtually destroyed by fire, and the congregation met on the second floor of the Methodist Church until their church could be rebuilt.

The Wallach Apartments

In 1910 work was started on a new Methodist Church on Winchester Street, and in 1919, the old church property was sold to Paul Richards.

He and Mason McCarty operated a garage, an automobile-sales agency and car-rental business in the basement.

According to M. Louise Evans in an article that appeared in the Sept.

22, 1949, edition of The Fauquier Democrat, the Western Union office was on the first floor, and on the second floor were the local Telephone Exchange, and later a Stock Exchange.

Richard Wallach Sr., who lived with his wife Edith at Fenton, near Warrenton, bought the building in 1928. “When the Stock Exchange moved to the California Building,

the second and third floors were made into apartments. The building was then known as the Wallach Apartments,” wrote Evans.

Wallach used mantles, doors, woodwork and other materials from a hotel in Washington, D.C. that the family owned that was being demolished. He created four fine apartments upstairs, with high ceilings, large windows and wood burning fireplaces, according to his niece, Hope Porter.

The apartments were choice rental options, and after Richard Wallach’s death in 1929, his son Richard “Dickie” Wallach (1903-1948) took over the business. Dickie and his mother later lived in one of the apartments.

Mrs. Porter recalls that during World War II, other prominent Fauquier couples rented the apartments during the winter, staying in town to avoid traveling in bad weather and dealing with the gasoline rationing.

“The basement or street level once served as the thrift shop, conducted by Mrs. Isabel Cotton Smith and various volunteers. Mrs. Joseph Tucker, nee Miss Sarah Warren, had ‘At Your Service’ in a little room on the alley side, originally built for the storage of gasoline and oil,” Evans recalled.

It was from this office that Miss Warren compiled mailing lists in connection with the local solicitations for various causes during World War II. “Later Mr. D. L. Kilby had a furniture repair shop there,” she added.

Were there spirits in the old building? In “The Diary of Court House Square” (1996), Lee Moffett recalls one ghostly account: “Amy Brown was one who lived there. She would hear strange noises, which could be the creaking of old boards, but the one noise in particular sounded as though someone was walking down the hallway was real enough — and they stopped at the bathroom door.”

Dickie Wallach died in 1948, and his mother Edith, who had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Gaines Gwathmey on Long Island, New York, died in 1950. At that time, Mrs. Gwathmey inherited the Wallach Building.

In February 1837, a phenomenon now known as Tulip Mania caused a financial crisis in Holland.

Investors speculated in tulip bulbs, which triggered a run on the colorful spring perennial: Tulipa bulbi.

While the bubble eventually burst back then, the fascination with tulips continues. Visitors to the Netherlands can travel to the Tulip Festival, Tulip

FAUQUIER FARMING

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | April 11, 2018

According to Merriam Webster: Word Central: We often think of the tulip as a Dutch flower. The Dutch certainly do grow many tulips, but they first got the plant from Turkey. The Turkish word for the tulip was tülbent, meaning literally “turban.”

Perhaps it was the flower’s shape that reminded the Turks of a turban. Or perhaps it was the bright colors and velvety petals. In any case, scientists picking a universal word for the flower chose the scientific Latin tulipa, taken from the Turkish word.

The word came into English from the scientific Latin and was spelled tulip.

Picking protocol: how to cut tulips

field-grown flower business with 35,000 tulip blubs. In 2012, they panted 100,000 blubs and every year after that, 150,000.

These days, Burnside Farms, now in a new location in Nokesville, has one million bulbs for visitors to “pick your own.”

“There are only six places in the world where you can pick your own,” Leslie Dawley said. “This is unique.”

Dawley is keeping the exact location of her new, 50-acre farm under wraps until its official opening date, which will be announced soon. They have 8 acres planted in tulips, which they are selling for $1 per stem.

Planting and maintaining the tulips is labor-intensive. Michael Dawley spends two months planting them. With those million tulips, they recently invested in a mechanical bulb planter.

“It was a matter of efficiency,” Leslie Dawley said. “We also had to pick up and move all our equipment from our former site to move to this new place. We also had to install deer fence because tulips are deer candy.”

Adding to their sweat equity, the bulbs (which are specially blended in Holland for Burnside) also must be rotated to a new location every four years so nutrients in the soil can be replenished.

“It’s a lot of work,” she said.

• Pick your basket. Burnside Farms provides visitors with picking baskets/buckets to carry your flowers (picking baskets are not for sale).

A few tips, courtesy of Burnside Farms • Bring a bucket with water to keep your flowers hydrated on the ride home. Tulips and daffodils should not be placed in the same vase. The life of your tulips will be greatly reduced if they are put in the same vase together. They can co-mingle after they have been in separate vases for at least 24 hours.

This 1637 image, now in the public domain, is from “Verzameling Van Een Meenigte Tulipaanen” — the 1637 tulip book of P. Cos, the source document for much of what is known about Tulipmania. Left, one might say tulips are all about love.

And well worth it.

The opening to the fields is timed to the tulips’ growing status. The Spring Festival is expected to open in the next new few weeks and will require a ticket for weekend admission. Check burnsidefarms. com or call 703-930-3052 for more information.

Vicky Moon can be contacted at Vickyannmoon@aol.com

• When you find a tulip you want, reach down as close to the soil level as possible, grasp the stem and pull straight up. You might get a flower bulb. Flower bulbs are cut off at the wrapping station. If you wish to keep your flower bulbs you may, there is an additional per-bulb charge. Some varieties have multiple flowers on a single stem, they are still $1 per stem. Pick as many tulips or daffodils as your heart desires but pick what you intend to purchase.

• Trim 1/4 inch off of the ends when you get home and place the flowers in cool water.

No flower preservative is needed for flowers this fresh, just change the water every three days or so and keep the flowers away from direct sunlight and heat. Quick tip: The cooler you keep your flowers, the longer they will last.

• Finally, design your arrangement and enjoy the fresh-cut beauty.

NEWS/FROM PAGE 1

A Q-and-A with the candidates for GOP chairman Q: What’s at stake in the chairmanship election?

Burroughs: There is a tremendous amount at stake. We have been successful in Fauquier recruiting, supporting and electing principled public officials. We understand what voters want, and we have stayed true to our core values of individual freedom, limited government, free enterprise and promoting the American dream. As President Ronald Reagan said, if we agree on most things, we should work together. Our heritage of good government and civic duty can be damaged by mean-spirited politics and it will dampen the enthusiasm to enter into politics. We can’t let this happen. The Democrats are moving farther left, far from the views of the average Fauquier resident. So, we Republicans must stay unified to provide a better alternative to higher taxes and bigger government.

Schumacher: Preserving our Republican majority in Fauquier. Our Committee is astonishingly complacent with our current 60-percent majority. After working to make these biennial Fauquier County Republican Committee elections very divisive referendums about a cause, (keeping Fauquier green and almost a proxy election for the board of supervisors), my opponent’s camp does nothing to grow our party, much less to even promote it.

We have a tent at the fair; a table at First Fridays in Warrenton; let candidates speak during election season; and get people to work the polls on Election Day. All are good, but they have almost zero impact on growing our party. The current FCRC is a group of older white people. Many from the majority label and want to exclude those with perceived different views.

Current leadership is way too comfortable with that.

Their history proves nothing will change without new leadership.

Harry Burroughs

Age: 65 Resides: Warrenton Professional experience: • 38-year career working for Republican members of the House of Representatives, serving as chief of staff on key committees.

• Staff director of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife and Oceans from 1995 to 2015.

• Wrote and published “My Life on Capitol Hill”, “The National Wildlife Refuge System: History, Laws and Abuses of Power,” and “The People’s Sheriff.”

Q: Why do you think you would be a better chairman than your opponent?

Burroughs: It is a matter of experience, leadership and temperament. I have spent my life in politics. I was handing out palm cards for my grandfather when I was 8 years old. I worked [for the] President Ford Committee, Republican National Committee and in the House of Representatives. I have volunteered for federal, state and local elections. I have made thousands of phone calls, visited hundreds of homes, helped raise millions of dollars and served as the volunteer coordinator for the Bob Mosier for Sheriff Campaign. The Fauquier County Republican Committee is a political organization, and I have been in the leadership of the party and involved in campaigns for more than 40 years. I know how to win and having traveled to every corner of our great county, I have listened to what my fellow citizens are saying. I will act on their expectations.

Schumacher: I am a proven, inclusive leader of organizations ranging from four to more than 4,000,

What Can We Build or Remodel for YOU?

treating all people with dignity and respect. I am about mission and purpose to lead us to grow to remain a bulwark against a threatening “blue wave” we see all around us. My opponent touts a record in providing “overwhelming Republican victories.” In our 60-percent majority county, this is a given — for now.

But under his watch, membership dropped from 185 to 107. FCRC procedures were unanimously overruled by the 5th District Committee. It’s an exclusive inner circle focused on power and control. Much has been made about my “associations.” The inner circle that he is either part of or controls him is his.

Q: What will you do to heal divisions within the party?

Burroughs: As chairman, I will lower tensions by respecting every member’s point of view. I will be transparent and inclusive. As precinct chairman, I was able to work effectively with all committee members. I will also encourage members to stop engaging in the politics of personal destruction. I have worked on many campaigns where the rhetoric between Republicans and Democrats was harsh. This is my first campaign where people who call themselves Republicans have attacked other Republicans with such vitriol. This practice of calling fellow Republicans “liars and cowards,” RINOS or not conservatives must end. It is only helping the Democrats and repulsing those who would volunteer to help the FCRC. Schumacher: Division begins in every election cycle by labeling people as folks who want to keep Fauquier Green and those who don’t. I have found no one who wants the latter. It’s a false division. Further, what’s “Republican” about that issue?

The second source of rancor is process and how people are treated at the meetings. I will educate our committee and the public about the false assumptions and linkage to the board of supervisors’ elections associated with this issue. My opposition’s worst fear is that someone like me may get elected and Fauquier will find out the whole issue was a red herring.

Besides Hayes, Burroughs has also been endorsed by Sheriff Bob Mosier, Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo and the Fauquier Taxpayers Association.

Schumacher has been endorsed

by Commonwealth Attorney Jim Fisher; Warrenton attorney Whit Robinson; Dirk Wyckoff, former vice chairman for membership for the Republican committee; defense analyst James Blackwell; and Gen. Martin Dempsey, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Schumacher is a retired Army major general. Burroughs retired after a nearly 40-year career as a staff director for the House of Representatives.

Besides the election of a new chairman, 73 precinct members and 21 at-large members will be elected, according to the official “call” on the Fauquier County Republican Committee’s website.

The voting is organized and sponsored by the county Republican Committee and open only to legal voters who consider themselves

“in accord with the principles of the Republican Party and who express in writing their intent to support all of its nominees for public office in the ensuing [general] election,” the official call states.

If a voter has registered to vote but their name does not yet appear on the local registration books because the books have been closed since their time of registration, they may also vote.

Hayes said the committee runs the canvass election under rules specified by the state party. Those who have voted in Democratic primary elections may be challenged if they show up to vote in the Republican canvass. They may not vote in the canvass unless they are willing to state that the intend to support Republican candidates in the next election.

Those who sign a statement to that effect and then vote in a future Democratic primary are barred from future Republican committee elections, according to party rules.

Voting on Saturday will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m.

The chair sets the tone and the rules for how meetings will be conducted and how people will be treated. I will: treat all people with dignity and respect, not allow labeling within the committee, get our committee working side by side in common purpose — the best remedy for healing and unity.

Q: What will you do to make the committee a better functioning organization to elect Republicans to office?

Burroughs: For the past two years, I have been vice chairman for precincts. What this meant was organizing and staffing community events throughout Fauquier County, appointing a precinct captain for each of the 20 polling stations, designing the sample ballots for each general election, procuring yard signs for each Republican candidate, ensuring each precinct captain had what they needed and visiting each precinct on Election Day. I am proud that during the last two years, we did not lose a single Fauquier County precinct. This just doesn’t just happen but is the result of hard work and commitment, which will be repeated in 2018.

Schumacher: The critical first step is to bring unity and healing. “…a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.” (Mark 3:25, NLT). Given our history, here’s what’s required. I will: operate with full transparency; no decisions made by an inner circle; seek balance from all sides on the executive committee and any sub-committees I might appoint; assign people positions and tasks according to their strengths and passion — not their sides or their views; work for consensus; hold myself and my executive committee accountable, such as asking why we losing members and what are we doing about it?; conduct meetings people will want to attend because all people are treated fairly, ample time for discussion is allowed and they will be interesting.

Schumacher: Both the State Party Plan and FCRC bylaws offer the Committee a choice of methods, implying that both bodies recognize there is not a single method that is best for all situations. Absent voter registration by Party, and absent the will of the RPV to aggressively enforce loyalty statements to exclude Democrats from Republican elections, the best solution is state-run primaries for county offices. Let the candidates make their cases to the people, and let the people decide. In the current context, Democrats have the ability to sway our Republican elections. That’s why it’s critical to grow our Party and get out EVERY Republican vote.

Q: If it were up to you, how would you manage growth in Fauquier?

Q: What nominating method is best to select Republican nominees for elected office: state-run primary, party convention or some alternative, such as a party-run “firehouse primary” and why?

Burroughs: Winston Churchill opined that, “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.”

As someone who spent nearly 38 years working in the People’s House of Representatives, I wholeheartedly agree. Millions of Americans have paid the ultimate price to protect our democracy and our cherished freedoms. The best way to encourage maximum participation is to allow Americans to elect their local, state and federal representatives through the primary system.

The days of backroom, smoked-filled conventions where a handful of powerful people decided who will run for office are gone. Too much has been sacrificed to deny any registered voter the opportunity to choose who will represent them in Fauquier County, Richmond or Washington, D.C. Military personnel and those under the Hatch Act are excluded from conventions, senior citizens, parents with small children and small business owners are often precluded from attending conventions because of time and physical limitations.

Burroughs: Several weeks ago, I was asked to complete a questionnaire for the Fauquier Taxpayers Association. What I told them and reiterate now is that I am not opposed to smart development. I strongly support the new Remington Technology Park, family farms and the growth of small businesses throughout the county. I also support the Purchase of Development Rights Program and the Special Land Use Assessment Program. Based on my responses, the Fauquier Taxpayers Association unanimously endorsed me for chairman. By contrast, my opponent refused to answer the questions and said they were “irrelevant.” Agriculture, tourism and small business success in this county will never be irrelevant to me.

Schumacher: From what I see and from dialog with many, to include three of our five supervisors, I think growth is being managed smartly and well, and according to the will of the people. To stay on the right track, we need more consensus and less division. I want to promote forums for education and civil dialog within the committee and within the community and focus them around citizens’ concerns, not sides. The latter promotes division and power struggles. The former leads to positive solutions, such as the compromises that brought us the Remington data centers.

New homes, B&B permit advance in The Plains

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Plains Planning Commission was satisfied last week with a revised sketch for eight new homes that reduces impact on sloping ground. The commission also supported a special-use permit for a bed and breakfast with up to 12 units to operate at the former Grey Horse Inn. The Plains Town Council will have the final say, but the planning commission voted to approve both initiatives Thursday.

Developer Alan Mendleson wants to build eight homes on Hopewell Road and Mosby Street. After his initial plan to build nine homes met opposition from the town council, Mendleson returned to the planning commission April 5 with a plan that cut one house and repositioned the others outside of an area with 15 percent and greater slopes.

The plan also allows more room to widen Hopewell Road and install curb, gutter and a sidewalk if the Virginia Department of Transportation decides to improve the road.

The new plan also provides for

Applications for preschool and at-risk 4-year-olds available

Applications for a free preschool program for at-risk 4-year-olds who reside in Fauquier County, are available at these locations: all Fauquier County Public Schools elementary schools, Central Complex Building B and Fauquier County Department of Social Services.

Eligibility for the program, which is known as the Virginia Preschool Initiative, is based on family income and child and family risk factors.

Preschool programs are located in five elementary schools within the county. Each preschool classroom will have a certified teacher and a full-time instructional assistant. The preschool will follow the same schedule as the elementary school in which it is located including weather-related closings.

To be eligible for the program, students must be 4 years old on or before Sept. 30, must be toilet-trained and must live in Fauquier County. The family must meet income-eligibility guidelines.

Families of students with a special need or a disability are encouraged to apply.

Completed applications with all supporting documentation may be dropped off at any county elementary school or Central Complex Building B or may be mailed to Special Education Office, 430 East Shirley Ave., Building B, Warrenton, VA 20186. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.

For more information, call 540422-7144 or email kmcauliffe@ fcps1.org. For assistance in a language other than English, call the Welcome Center at 540-422-7118.

additional side-loading garages along Hopewell.

The developer still needs a waiver on the slope issue because of the impact on the terrain from driveway connections.

After a discussion, the planning commission voted 4 to 1 to recommend the waiver with Katherine Gurtler casting the sole opposing vote. The matter returns to town council for action.

The commission also approved a request for a special-use permit to re-establish a bed-and-breakfast business with up to 12 units at 4350 Fauquier Ave., the former location

of the Grey Horse Inn. Heidi Van Voorhis, a member of town council who lives next door to the property, voiced opposition because of traffic concerns if the B&B doubled in size from the previous six-room inn. She said neighbors across the road are also opposed.

A joint public hearing with town council regarding the application was previously held.

The former Grey Horse is owned

by Charles Westbrook, a planning commission member. He answered questions about the application but recused himself from voting.

Westbrook removed an earlier re-

quest for a kitchen expansion, overflow parking and the use of an adjoining property as part of the B&B after the public hearing. Westbrook said he is in the process of trying to sell the property and that the increase to 12 units would make a B&B more financially viable.

The planning commission approved the special-use permit unanimously with the stipulation that it cannot transfer to the new owner of the property. That owner would have to resubmit a request for the permit.

This just in: Former LFCC student thriving in CNN career When he first started working for CNN about 15 years ago, Warren County High School class of 1998 grad Andrew Iden distinctly remembers sitting down with two of his peers at the cable news giant. One had received her master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University, while the other had attained his master’s degree in journalism from the University of Missouri.

Both universities are considered to be in the premier when it comes to journalism, and “all three of us had the exact same job,” Iden remembers.

“It was proof to me that it isn’t always about the most prestigious school,” he adds. “LFCC Andrew Iden was the smartest path for me.”

Rather, success can stem from taking the smartest path for the individual. And for Iden, that was taking dual-enrollment classes while a senior in high school, and spending about two years studying at LFCC before transferring to Shepherd University to attain a bachelor’s degree in mass communications and journalism.

His mother, Beth Iden, was a reporter at the Warren Sentinel in the 1980s.

“She would pick me up from school on the way

to covering a house fire,” Iden recalls.

He, too, would write for the Sentinel when in high school and at LFCC. He covered sports, and did some reporting for The Winchester Star.

“I grew up kind of enamored with the news,” Iden says. “Since I was a little kid, I always watched the news at 5. I always knew what was going on.”

He always thought he would go to work for a Virginia paper, covering sports. After graduating from Shepherd, he applied to newspapers all over the commonwealth without any luck.

“As kind of a Hail Mary, I applied for an entry-level job at CNN,” Iden says.

He was hired as a video journalist, and was responsible for handing news anchors scripts, pointing to cameras and the like.

Iden would go on to spend nine years on Nancy Grace’s show, and currently produces “Crime & Justice with Ashleigh Banfield” on HLN, a part of CNN. It airs from 6-8 p.m. Monday-Thursday.

“We cover crime stories that kind of resonate with people — murder mysteries, big, high-profile trials,” Iden says. “People consume crime and justice news ravenously. I coordinate throughout the day — and throughout the show — video content that we use to illustrate that story.”

He has to be prepared to drop all the work he has been doing when big news breaks, such as the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida on Feb.

14. Iden says the show’s crew had to switch gears an hour-and-a-half before airtime.

“Every day is different,” he says. “My primary job is kind of wrangling that content for the show.”

Iden has also been able to do some newswriting at CNN. When he thinks back to his college days, Iden says he wasn’t ready to go from high school to a four-year university.

“The beauty of LFCC for me was by the time I got to Shepherd, I knew how college worked,” he says. “I think that’s one of the main struggles people have when they go away to school. LFCC helped me to understand the nuts and bolts of how to approach college.

“And, I enjoyed my time there because I got to meet a lot of great people.”

One of Iden’s favorite professors was History Professor Emeritus Joseph Whitehorne.

“He might be one of the smartest professors I ever had,” Iden says. “He had an amazing recall for American history minutiae.”

His brother Win, and sister-in-law, Kristin Iden, also attended LFCC. Kristin Iden works in LFCC’s office of human resource management, and Win is the assistant director of the Northern Virginia 4-H Center in Front Royal.

Wild about animals, Matthew Heinrich works at the National Zoo

Matthew Heinrich has made a splash at LFCC on his path to becoming a marine mammal behaviorist.

After graduating with his associate of science degree in the spring, Heinrich plans to study animal science and cognitive neuroscience at Virginia Tech, and plans to then go on to get a master’s degree. He hopes to become an animal behaviorist for a conservation agency.

Heincrich was recently awarded a $3,500 Mike and Wendy Smith Chancellor’s Award for Leadership in Philanthropy Commonwealth Legacy Scholarship, which has certainly eased any financial burden he had been facing.

A strong proponent of LFCC, he serves as secretary of communications for the Warrenton Campus branch of Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society for two-year colleges, and

as a student ambassador, promoting LFCC to prospective students.

Choosing Lord Fairfax for his first two years of college wasn’t a tough choice for him.

“I had heard lots of good things about LFCC — they make it easy for homeschoolers to enroll, transfer opportunities are great, the academic programs are well-established,” Heinrich says. “I also knew the campus is full of life, so that was another draw for me.”

Heinrich’s favorite professor is Jeremiah Dyke.

“He’s an incredible math professor, and he can make the most terrified of students feel confident with math,” he says.

But, his favorite subject remains biology.

“I’m just obsessed with anything biology-related,” Heinrich says. “It’s kind of a subject that doesn’t feel like work when I’m doing it because it’s just a part of life.”

And, it’s long been a focus in his life. In October, Heinrich started

working at the National Zoo through the Smithsonian’s Citizen Science program as a reptile and amphibian educator and researcher. He also works at an equine facility doing horse husbandry and training. He says he finds horses fascinating.

A boyhood trip to Sea World led to his love of marine mammals, and his extensive experience with 4-H further fostered his fascination and affection for animals. Through the program, he has raised chickens, rabbits, pigs and sheep. Heinrich has also had two internships with zoological facilities.

“Working with marine mammals has been my passion since before I can even remember,” Heinrich says.

“My dream is to work for an aquarium because then I’d have the opportunity to reach out to the public. It’s exciting to know I’ll have the ability to share the knowledge I gain with the public, who will be able to then use that knowledge to help the environment.”

Warrenton Town Council candidates’ forum set for April 18

By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

Candidates running to be Warrenton’s next mayor or serve in atlarge council seats will explain their visions for the future and take questions during a town hall forum set for Wednesday, April 18, at Taylor Middle School.

The forum, scheduled to last about two hours, is being sponsored by the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce, Fauquier Now and the Fauquier Times to give town res- Carter Nevill idents an opportunity to question and learn more about the candidates before the May 1 town elections.

Taylor Middle School is at 350 E. Shirley Ave. in Warrenton.

The event will begin at 6:45 p.m.

Grace Rigby and Carter Nevill will be first to speak and take questions about their candidacies for mayor.

Both hope to replace Mayor Powell Duggan, who is not running again.

At-large Council Members Sean Polster and Sunny Reynolds, who is also vice mayor, and challengers Keith Macdonald and Renard Carlos, will follow with 90-second opening remarks and a question-and-answer period.

The questions will come from representatives of Fauquier Now, the Fauquier Times and from the audience. In the description of the forum sent to the candidates, Fauquier Now Editor Lou Emerson said journalists will welcome suggestions and questions but “will have sole discretion about what gets asked.”

The forum will be moderated by Philip Mulford, a local mediator who has filled that role many times in the past.

Rigby, who has captured attention because of her age,19, said she is “eager for the opportunity to respond to the questions and concerns of our citizens and to share my vision of where I believe Warrenton can go over the next four years.”

Rigby said she’ll prepare for event by “developing [her] platform and invit[ing] people to the debate while I am out walking door to door

for over the next week,” she said. “I will continue to encourage our residents to reach out to me with their concerns and questions, as the most important responsibility of the mayor is to represent the opinions of the people.”

Nevill said he is “absolutely looking forward to the chance” to share his views with the public.

He said it’s “for the benefit of all” to hear every candidate running for office and to compare their views.

Asked what he’s doing to get ready, he said his prepaGrace Rigby ration has been his “last 14 years in business.”

Next week’s forum was arranged after Polster tried to host an earlier event, having not heard of any effort to arrange forum for the atlarge candidates.

Polster canceled the event, which was mean to be for the at-large candidates, after Reynolds declined the invitation and Carlos, a 29-year-old medical device salesman, called Polster’s move “out of the ordinary.”

“Traditionally, a neutral third party organizes a debate among candidates,” Carlos said in an email last week.

One conundrum involving the event is that Macdonald, who is running for one of the two at-large council seats, is under a court order to have no contact with Reynolds, a town council incumbent. Reynolds received a protective order against Macdonald from a Fauquier County Circuit Court judge in March following a February incident at Clare’s at the Depot restaurant during which Reynolds claimed Macdonald’s behavior threatened her safety. Macdonald denies he did anything wrong and has appealed the ruling, saying her move was motivated by his challenge to her in the election.

“She knows I’m coming,” Macdonald said Tuesday. “If she has a problem with that, then I’m sure I’ll hear from her.”

Goodbye to Bluemont, and supporting Allegro’s plan B

The Bluemont Concert Series’ Board of Directors announced this week, that due to financial difficulties, the nonprofit is disbanding. The decision brings to an end Warrenton’s popular summer concert series, as well as other events that have served as a cultural centerpiece for Fauquier County and the wider region for more than 40 years.

The organization was supported by a mix of private donations and government funding. According to Bluemont, reductions in local-government support since the recession had led to downsizing, and ultimately, the nonprofit’s demise. The board has set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to meet $7,500 in remaining obligations.

Bluemont held events not only in Warrenton and Middleburg, but Ashland, Culpeper, Fredericksburg, Leesburg and Winchester, drawing artists from around the region.

According to its website, since 1976, Bluemont has presented more than 9,648 cultural programs at local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors. Bluemont is not exaggerating when it says its affordable events have become part of the fabric of the community.

Culture and the arts drive tourism, support local businesses, inspire pride and bring out the best in a community. The loss of concerts, such as those held in OUR VIEW front of the Warren Green building, are deeply felt by all of us in that community.

This need was also recognized by Allegro Community School for the Arts, which announced it would continue the concert series and First Night for the Town of Warrenton.

The nonprofit school believes taking over the series in Warrenton fits the school’s mission of “bringing the arts to life within the community.” We couldn’t agree more.

Allegro should be commended for stepping in to keep the series alive in Warrenton and for bolstering the cultural fabric of Fauquier community. We can only hope that some similar solutions might be found for the other communities Bluemont served.

It is regrettable that the collective support for Bluemont fell short. It serves as an important reminder that nonprofits devoted to the arts are especially fragile to the whims of both public and private donors.

GOP chairmans’ race: On primaries, we agree

Local Republicans will head to Fauquier High School this Saturday to pick a new chairman and more than 90 voting members of the local Fauquier County Republican Committee. The winners will have a big impact on the future of the local party and, most importantly, the process it chooses to pick future nominees for elected office.

While interviewing the candidates this week, we were glad to hear both Harry Burroughs and Gary Schumacher say they prefer primaries over party meetings or conventions when it comes to picking candidates who will win the committee’s endorsement for important county posts.

This issue — whether nominees should be picked via primary or convention — has become a perennial debate for Republicans on the state and local levels. Primaries sometimes get a bad rap from the Republican faithful out of concern that outsiders will participate in GOP contests and taint the results. The local GOP committee is still dealing with divisions stemming from such complaints (and a subsequent lawsuit) related to a previous committee election.

Still, it’s hard to argue the clear benefits of primaries — either state-run or the kind the GOP will sponsor on Saturday. They allow GOP voters ample time to cast their votes and make their voices heard without having to sacrifice several hours on a weekend morning trapped in a long party meeting.

Party conventions and meetings depress turnout because they are inconvenient. People busy with jobs, young children or other everyday responsibilities often opt out. It’s not good for the party nor democracy in general. For that reason, we hope that whoever wins on Saturday will follow through with what they told us this week: that primaries are the best choice.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago April 15, 1943 Four of the six sons of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Payne of Warrenton are in the army, serving from the Pacific to across the Atlantic. Paul Jr. is a staff sergeant, stationed at Adams Field, Ark.; Thomas a private at Nashville., Tenn.; John a private in California; and Granville a private first class in Africa.

Fauquier’s 1943 infantile paralysis campaign, under Mrs. J. Ray Larcombe, has realized to date $1,079.35, a splendid total when it is considered that none of the entertainments could be given this year because of the transportation situation.

Word has been received that Capt.

John Peyton, U.S. Army, a former teacher at Stuyvesant, has been reported missing in action since Feb. 15. A graduate of the University of Virginia, he joined the army three years ago, and was in a tank company, part of the invasion forces in Africa.

50 Years Ago April 18, 1968 Judge Rayner V. Snead has postponed entering an order appointing a Fauquier County redistricting commission until April 29. The commission is to redraw the county’s five magisterial districts, once the state statute on the power of such commissions is clarified.

Plans for development of 3,061 one-acre lots a North Wales have been shelved, Fauquier County authorities learned last Thursday. Attorneys for Cherokee Village Development and National Land Co. of Arkansas, owners of the 4,200-acre estate, said the owners prefer development of a planned cluster community at North Wales.

Leeds Ruritans proposed to the school board a couple of weeks ago that the Ruritans buy the five-acre Hume School property for $500as a recreation center.

At Warrenton High School’s 1961 Homecoming, Sue Bragg was crowned the queen

by WHS varsity football players Jerry Wilkes (left) and Jeff Clater.

The supervisors made a counter proposal to Norman Coyner, president of the club, that the Ruritans lease the property for $1 a year for 10 years, with an option to renew.

25 Years Ago April 14, 1993 Last week’s hearing on the four-count, multi-million-dollar lawsuit that Citizens for Fauquier County had filed against SPR Corp., principals Stefano Parlagreco and Thomas Greenland and their attorney Daniel O’Connor ended with both sides able to claim some measure of victory.

On April 9, Haiti Street in Warrenton became one-way northbound from Liberty Street to North Street. Haiti remains open in both directions between Liberty and Horner streets.

Jay Johnson of The Plains, a freshman for the James Madison University baseball team, is making plenty of noise with his bat this spring. Starting at designated hitter, Johnson went 3-for-8 with two runs scored and two runs batted last Sunday as the Dukes lost a pair of games against defending Colonial Athletic Association champion George Mason.

Opinion & Commentary YOUR VIEW

Clarifying who can vote in the canvass In response to recent comments that your readers may have received from a letter to the editor from Les Cheek, a member of the Fauquier County Republican Committee, I wish to clarify who can vote in the canvass on April 14.

Les wrote that voters in Virginia do not register by party (true) and that the upcoming April 14 election for a new Republican Committee and new chair is important to Fauquier voters (also true). However, readers may have thought from Les’ letter that even active Democrats may vote in the Fauquier Republican Committee election, and that is not correct.

Our committee runs the canvass election under the rules specified by the Republican Party

of Virginia. For example, those persons who have voted in Democratic primary elections (that participation is a public record) may be challenged if they present themselves to vote in the canvass, and may not vote in the canvass unless they are willing to state that they intend to support Republican candidates in the next election. Those who so state and then vote in a future Democratic primary are barred from Republican committee elections. For a complete understanding of the RPV rules, please go to the RPV website and see Article 1, Section A of the Party Plan: virginia.gop/rpv-state-partyplan.

We do want to “grow the party” and welcome

Take the pledge with me!

We moved to Warrenton in 2004.

We moved again within Warrenton in 2013. There were only a few conditions to this second move. The main one being that we remain in Warrenton. Over the past nearly 14 years, I have learned as much as my available time would permit about this community. I have sat with town and county residents to write articles, sharing the rich experiences that our neighbors possess. I have volunteered my time to help revive programs and create new ones. I shop small. I look local first. And during this time, I have found so much more than convenience. I have discovered treasures. Unique items, quality food, dedicated owners. I have found friends. People who I care about so deeply, it keeps me awake at night wondering how I can help them. Which brings me to this letter. This request to our community to take the pledge. Select 10 local shops and pledge to spend $10 there

in a month. The next month, select 10 new shops. When you spend $100 locally $68 of that remains in the local economy; whereas when you shop from a large, nationally-owned business, only $43 will remain local.

If $10 is too high, pledge what you are comfortable with. Our small business owners are our neighbors.

Their children ride the bus with our children. In many cases, they have abandoned stable, six-figure incomes with benefits and vacation days to follow a dream! Don’t hide behind a smartphone and bemoan the loss of “yet another” business. Eat lunch (and dinner!) in Warrenton! Buy gifts from local businesses in Old Town, on Broadview or one of the charming shops in Marshall. Keep your money local and help keep our storefronts filled. Take the pledge. $10 in 10 local shops every month.

The fifth annual Give Local Piedmont event is quickly upon us!

Kay Hayes Chairman, Fauquier County Republican Committee

Coming down to the wire What’s at stake? In essence, the growth or decline of the Fauquier County Republican Committee, which rests largely in the hands of its leadership.

So, I’ve gone back several weeks in review of the Fauquier Times coverage of this important issue.

Here’s what I’ve concluded: The difference between the Schumacher and the Burroughs vision is one inclusive and one exclusive in that order. For example: General Schumacher: “A unified, diverse, and inclusive committee that values all voices while working together to grow the Republican Party of Fauquier County and to elect principled Republicans at all levels of government.”

Burroughs: “I am running for Chairman of the Fauquier County Republican Committee to help build our committee, continue to grow our party, and ensure the rural culture we all enjoy here in Fauquier is preserved.”

Accordingly, the status quo leadership lacks a passion for growth and has shown itself to be exclusive and only wanting to grow with certain types of Republicans. On the other hand, Gen. Schumacher asks “Where are the young?” “Where are the minorities?” And he goes on to argue that our large Fauquier County Republican majority and victory margins won’t last if we’re complacent and lacking Republicans from all points of view.

Many Fauquier Times letters endorsing Mr. Burroughs as the best choice and characterizing the general as out to destroy the planet and Fauquier County with it, miss the mark.

For example: (Fauquier Times April 4) A vote for Schumacher will lead to the destruction of our county much like the supposed downfall in Loudoun (paraphrased).

In essence, a prediction based on presumption and supported with evidence yet to occur, if ever. Seems

to me a fear-mongering strategy straight from a liberal, left- wing play book.

Gen. Schumacher has gone on record in support of Fauquier County’s Comprehensive Master Plan for smart and slow growth. (Fauquier Now article “Baseless Assertions” in the Campaign for GOP Chair, March 16, 2018—Greg Schumacher.) From what I hear on the street, the general is no bait-and-switch artist.

In conclusion, former Chairman Hayes’ endorsement of Mr. Burroughs cited his leadership as “… vice chairman for precinct organization.” Whereas a report she released (Sept. 12, 2017) during her tenure as chairman of the FCRC showed numerous available and unfilled committee positions in several county precincts—where the total of allowed were 213 and the number filled 111.

Elections are won by votes counted not endorsements. Democrats took Virginia last election by kicking Republican butt at the polls, plain and simple.

I’m thinkin’ it time for some new blood and new leadership in the FCRC come 14 April.

‘We are concerned’

Tough talk on tariffs worries Fauquier farmers

FARMERS from page 1

“Everyone is pretty concerned,” said Dye, who preferred not to discuss his own vote. “It’s definitely got our attention and it seems like it’s all still up in the air. We’ve got corn getting ready to go in the ground [this week]. Soybeans go in about April 16, so everyone is anxious to see what’s going to happen.

“Right now, one hand says one thing, then the other hand says something else. It’s a shame to see how long it’s taken leaders in our industry to negotiate all these agreements — years, decades — and with one bad move, it can all come crashing down.”

Members of the local farm bureau haven’t taken a formal stand on the issue.

“The next time we get together, certainly we’ll talk about it,” Scheid said. That meeting will happen in a couple months. It seems likely the issue will still be alive then.

There is a public comment period on any administration proposal until May 11 followed by a hearing on May 15 in Washington. A 180-day waiting period follows before the U.S. tariffs would go into effect.

U.S.-produced and exported soybeans are a target of the Chinese tar-

iff threats. According to Dye, one of every three rows of soybeans planted in the U.S. goes to China, including much of his own crop.

“We do soybeans here, as do lot of other places. There’s going to be an impact here,” Scheid said. “People who buy them will have to pay more.”

Virginia’s farmers planned to increase acreage devoted to soybeans this year, planting 630,000 acres this year, up 30,000 acres from last year, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Tim Mize, an agent with the Virginia Cooperative Extension in Fauquier, said the county’s farms had 9,659 acres planted with soybeans in 2012, the most recent figures available. Fauquier is the 20th largest producer of the crop in Virginia. Per acre production of soybeans is 45 bushels.

If the tariff dispute isn’t settled, China can get soybeans from other countries.

“Nobody wants to see [China] go to another market,” Mize said.

The Rodgers farming operation in Fauquier County also is heavily into soybeans.

Steve Rodgers said soybeans will

“A lot of things were promised. Now everyone is waiting to see some results. This (tariff) isn’t one of them.”

GLENN DYE Chairman of the Virginia Soybean Association

make up 60 percent of his fields.

He has about 5,000 acres of farmland all over Fauquier County as well as Culpeper and Rappahannock counties. His son, Sid, handles operations.

“We are concerned,” Steve Rodgers said. “We’ve already bought the seed. We’ve fertilized for soybeans and corn. The fertilizing is different for soybeans. We’ll probably stay with our original plan. We’ll start with corn then follow with beans.”

Fauquier County voted overwhelmingly for Trump in the 2016 presidential election. About 60 percent of county’s voters favored Trump compared to Hillary Clinton’s 34 percent. Dye said Trump had heavy support from many of his fellow farmers.

“A lot of things were promised,” he said. “Now everyone is waiting to see some results. This (tariff) isn’t one of them.”

Tony Banks, assistant director of the commodities department for the Virginia Farm Bureau, said the national organization “has come out and said the U.S. and Chinese governments need to stop this, sit down at the negotiating table and work out a settlement that’s mutually beneficial.”

Banks added, “The farm economy is at its worse in 16 years. Our members can’t afford to have these tariffs weighing the market.”

China imports 60 to 65 percent of the world’s production of soybeans, one-third of that coming from the U.S. Brazil supplies half of China’s

soybean imports and stands to gain if the tariff battle isn’t resolved.

“Obviously, the tariff will have an effect on soy prices and will ripple through the world’s soybean prices,” Banks said.

The soybean is a source of vegetable protein. Its oil can be processed into margarine, shortening and vegetarian cheeses. Soybean meal is a high-protein meat substitute in many food products and also used to feed livestock.

Banks said higher Chinese tariffs on U.S. pork could depress prices as American producers try to sell more to consumers at home, which would be good for customers but bad for producers. It could affect sales of beef and poultry if the price of pork makes pork a more attractive option.

Jimmy Messick, whose family owns and operates a dairy farm as well as Messick’s Farm Market in Midland, said soybeans are among their crops. He said he’s trying to stay positive and will take wait-andsee approach.

“As far as prices go, anything will be short-lived,” he said. “Prices are affected when it’s first announced, but things have a way of working itself out and stabilizing after a while….It seems like they’re still talking and negotiating. It hasn’t affected us yet. I don’t know how far it will go. I guess we’ll see.”

Black Bear Mercantile Market in Old Town Warrenton closes

By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer

Black Bear Mercantile Market, one of the newest shops in Old Town, shut down this week because of a lack of business.

Todd Eisenhauer, owner of Black Bear Bistro, opened the mercantile on Culpeper Street last May primarily to be a butcher shop where customers could get fresh cuts of meat as well as sundry items from batteries to Brillo.

Eisenhauer said it was particularly difficult to be located on one of Old Town’s side streets and that he could not be at the market enough

“Being on the side street doesn’t help as much either because you don’t get the walk-in traffic. So being able to draw as much attention down there as possible, I don’t think we were able to accomplish either,” Eisenhauer said.

Tom Wisemiller, Warrenton’s economic development manager, said the store closings are likely the result of “a combination of factors — many of which are not unique to Old Town Warrenton.”

“Nationally, a lot of brick-andmortar retailers are struggling to compete with online sales,” he said.

“So, many shops are experimenting with ways to offer in-store customers experiences that they cannot get online, but it’s an especially disruptive time for retailers.”

“That said, we can do a better job of attracting more customers to Old Town and then delivering on that experience when they get here,” Wisemiller said. “We’re developing strategies to do so.”

Wisemiller this week gave the Warrenton Town Council a draft of his strategic, two-year economic development plan, which contains an array of ideas to energize business in Old Town.

Also, the Experience Old Town Warrenton organization is close to hiring a new director to begin implementing the group’s plans to increase commerce in Old Town.

Warrenton McDonald’s reopens on Broadview Avenue On a good day, about 2,000 customers will come through the new Warrenton McDonald’s, which reopened this week on Broadview Avenue, to get two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun.

What’s new at the at the rebuilt restaurant? Besides that the patties are fresh — not frozen — the restaurant features a two-lane drive-thru with an enlarged parking lot, so cars don’t stack up on Broadview Avenue.

“The flow is a lot better,” says

Denise Gaynor, vice president of operations, who runs the franchise for owner Craig Welburn, a Woodbridge executive who operates McDonald’s restaurants in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. “We’re doing great! We’re excited about being open,” Gaynor said Wednesday, as the new crew hustled to serve the crowd.

That crew will grow to 60 or 70 in number. Employees are paid between $8.50 to $15.00 an hour.

After 42 years, Bluemont lowers the curtain Nonprofit backed Warrenton’s summer concert series, First Night Staff Reports Citing lagging financial support, the 42-year-old Bluemont announced this week it is dissolving as a nonprofit organization and would end its popular cultural programming, including Warrenton’s summer concert series and the First Night celebration, effective June 30.

In a prepared statement, Bluemont Concert Series’ Board of Directors said they were announcing “with a heavy heart” that the nonprofit, as currently organized, “lack[s] the financial footing to continue.”

“Bluemont strived to maintain community programs while offsetting the funding deficit each year by cutting costs and seeking other sources of revenue,” the statement said. “While we continue to believe that music and art are critical to a well-rounded education, and vital to our beloved communities, our programs require resources to operate.”

“Despite a storied, 40-plus year history, and ongoing conscientious budgeting, our resources have been exhausted,” the statement continued.

Since 1976, Bluemont presented more than 9,648 cultural programs in local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors, the statement said.

Bluemont was supported by both local governments and private donor partners, but it faced ongoing reductions in local-government funding, the statement said, dropping from $263,000 in 2008 to $59,434 in 2018.

As a result, the organization had been “actively downsizing” for the past 10 years, the statement said.

In January, the board released its former executive director, Lily Dunning Widman, and her staff.

“The board greatly appreciates Ms. Widman’s outstanding professional service, and we wish her much success in her future endeavors,” the statement said. “She and her staff gave countless hours to make Bluemont truly special and their commitment to excellence is to be commended.”

The board thanked its many volunteers and supporters and said they “will continue to treasure fond memories of families singing, dancing and sharing art in their own communit[ies].”

The statement asked for the public’s continued support to make what they called a “graceful exit” by fulfilling the board’s $7,500 debt to meet the organization’s remaining obligations. The board set up a GoFundMe page to collect donations:

Checks can also be sent to P.O. Box 802, Berryville, VA 22611.

“Every gift counts,” the statement said. “Thank you to all of our participating communities across the state of Virginia.”

A crowd gathered for a Bluemont concert outside the Warren Green Building during the 2014 summer season.

Allegro launches ‘Summer on the Green’ in July

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

A collective community sigh could almost be heard last week in response to news the Bluemont Concert Series would be no more. Inaugurated in 1976, Bluemont reached an audience in the millions over the years with their community concert series and an estimated 9,600 cultural programs held in local schools, nursing homes and special events.

But a bright light shone on the local art scene with the announcement Wednesday that Warrenton’s Allegro Community School for the Arts would continue the popular series as well as First Night for the Town of Warrenton. Located on Main Street, the school is a nonprofit “squarely focused on giving back to our community and bringing the arts to life,” according to its website.

“We were approached by the town about coordinating these events for Warrenton when Bluemont announced the organization’s termination,” said Allegro Executive Director, Sam Yoder.

“The events fit well within the mission of Allegro.

Allegro is pleased to assume responsibility for the concert series and intends to conduct them in a way that honors those who created and sustained Bluemont for 41 years. It is important the concert series continues in the spirit of Bluemont and what they created.”

Allegro will hold their events—dubbed the “Summer on the Green” concert series — on the Warren building lawn, as residents have become accustomed to that location. They hope to bring back favorite bands while also attracting new talent to the stage.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for Allegro to showcase local talent by having students perform during band intermissions,” says Jennifer Puffenbarger, chairman for Allegro Board of Directors.

“We were heartbroken when we got the news,” said Aimee O’Grady, a current board member and commu-

nications officer. “But Sam and Lachelle [Yoder] are ‘yes’ people. Their first response is always ‘yes’ and when [Warrenton Town Manager Brannon Godfrey] approached us about taking it on and continuing to bring arts to the community, it was an immediate ‘yes.’”

“Because of its history of involvement in performing arts and the capacity to pick up the project, I was confident that Allegro could resume the programming with the support of the town and the VCA [Virginia Commission for Arts] grant,” Godfrey said. “The summer concert series is a long-standing cultural event for the town, and I believe this is a good option to preserve it for 2018.”

The $4,500 grant the town received from the VCA is a one-to-one match. This year, the town provided $10,000 to help fund the Bluemont Summer Concert series, which included the grant as well as $5,500 from the town’s general fund, Godfrey said.

Godfrey said the town applied to renew the grant and has dedicated the same amount of funding toward a summer concert series in the new budget the town council is working on for fiscal 2019, which begins July 1.

Fauquier County had also budgeted $10,000 for the Bluemont Concert Series this year, but changed those plans when officials were notified the organization would dissolve June 30, according to Fauquier County Budget Director Erin Kozanecki.

O’Grady said Allegro planned to approach the county for funding for their effort.

O’Grady will serve as the event chair for the Warrenton concert series. She said she’s thrilled to see “kids bouncing around in the streets” when the concerts come to town.

Allegro’s concert series will begin July 7 with Silver Tones and will run every Saturday evening through Aug 18.

All events will take place at Warren Green except the July 14 “Make Music Day,” a celebration of music at Eva Walker Park.

While the Bluemont Concert Series was predominantly musical groups, O’Grady sees opportunities for dancers and live performances during intermissions.

“We would welcome novices to professionals to showcase their talents,” O’Grady said. “This would open the doors to aspiring artists.”

Allegro is having a fundraiser at Barrel Oak Winery on Sunday, April 29, from 5 to 9 p.m. Money raised will go toward Allegro’s scholarship program and the concert series.

O’Grady is hopeful the many who volunteered at the Bluemont concerts over the years will continue their support. “I encourage all to participate,” she said.

“Once we have the concerts underway, we will turn our attention to First Night,” said Lachelle Yoder. “We welcome support from the community in the way of volunteers and sponsors to help run the concerts this summer and First Night in the winter.” Anyone wishing to help support the concert series should contact Lachelle at lachelle@allegrocsa.org or 540-349-5088.

APRIL 2018 SHE MEANS BUSINESS

Maria Loveless blends passion for interior design with love of people

By Amanda Heincer

Times Staff Writer aheincer@fauquier.com

Even before she really knew what it was, Maria Loveless had a knack for interior design.

“I think design, without knowing it, was something I loved from a very young age,” said Loveless.

And, when she got older, Loveless made it her career.

“Growing up and trying to figure out what I wanted to do… I just gravitated towards it,” she said.

Today, Loveless is the owner of The L & L Design Team, a Decorating Den Interiors franchise.

Owning her own business has been a good fit for Loveless, both because it has allowed her to pursue her passion for interior design and to have flexibility in her career, she said.

“I had the freedom to be a mom first,” she said.

Her business is based in Manas-

Maria Loveless sas—in an otherwise non-descript office park, hers is the office with the elegant light fixtures and unique seating, chosen by Loveless, of course—and she serves clients

throughout the area.

Loveless finds most of her clients through referrals and by word-of-mouth, making networking a key part of her business, she said.

“Networking is great,” she said.

“In the last year and a half I have meet some amazing people.”

In fact, Loveless, said, her love of meeting people and working with people has helped her throughout her career.

“I love people, so it’s a great thing that my business gives me the opportunity to be in front of them,” she said.

When a client contacts Loveless, she first does a phone interview to determine the scope of the project and “to see if I can help,” she said.

After that, if the client and Loveless agree to work together on the project, she typically meets them in person and then develops a design concept.

Loveless works with her clients

to develop a budget and recommend products to fit that budget.

Depending on the client’s needs, her team can then work on ordering items, installing them and completing the room.

For Loveless, the best part of the job is the “big reveal” when clients see their completed rooms.

Loveless said her clients’ happiness is often her favorite part.

“When they hug me at the end, that’s the greatest payment,” she said.

Loveless offers some words of encouragement, and a bit of warning, for others considering entrepreneurship.

“It’s very empowering to own your own company, but it’s a lot of hard work,” she said. “It’s a lot of sleepless nights, but it’s so rewarding.”

The world can be your oyster

ness interests in other countries who will invest in American companies as a way to access the vast U.S. market. Agriculture is one of our great export industries, and of course, many of our farms are well aware of international markets.

Miles.Friedman@FauquierCounty.gov

What does this curious title mean?

Well, according to that erudite source, Yahoo, it means, “For you, the world is an oyster, it can contain beautiful pearls.” In this instance, it refers to the myriad business opportunities that lie beyond American borders.

The business of doing business has become an international event, with almost everything we do influenced by and influencing the worldwide economy. Ever since Thomas Friedman (no relation) published “The World is Flat,” it has become increasingly obvious that business development strategies must address opportunities and challenges that come from beyond our own place, region and even country. Friedman’s basic contention, shared by this Friedman, is that international trade has become the norm and that U.S. firms who take advantage of international markets stand to prosper.

This increasingly wide window of opportunity is starting to include businesses of all sizes and shapes, encompassing goods and services.

International sales are no longer the sole province of our largest companies. Medium-sized, smaller, and micro businesses are slowly

Dos and Don’ts

but surely awakening to the lure of global markets, and may be a big reason why, nationally, U.S. exports are now growing faster than our imports. We still had a trade deficit of $566 billion in 2017, but the gap may be narrowing.

What does that mean for Fauquier County?

We are a community of smaller businesses. These are the very businesses that can turn their attention to the attractions of the international marketplace. Help is available from the Virginia Economic Development

Partnership, from the United States Department of Commerce, from the Small Business Development Center at Lord Fairfax (with counselors available at our local Enterprise Centers) and, to a certain extent, from our own Department of Economic Development. There are two-person businesses all over the U.S. that are winning international contracts and selling goods and services in other countries.

Moreover, there are opportunities for businesses to thrive internationally through joint ventures with U.S. partners and/or through partners outside the country, and there are busi-

Do be prepared to conduct market studies and to learn about the culture, language and customs of your target market. This would include not making the mistake of one larger U.S. corporation which marketed a well-known local product as one that would, “Bring your ancestors back from the dead…” when their slogan was translated into the native language. Do explore less familiar markets, but don’t assume that all markets on a given continent or region are the same. Do take advantage of the various free and low cost sources of assistance, but don’t assume that they can make the sale for you.

In short, it IS a big world out there, but it’s getting smaller all the time.

Miles Friedman has been Director of Economic Development for Fauquier County since March 2013 and has focused heavily on supporting our existing business community and entrepreneurs.

God has sent his chariot to take his Virginia boy home

Don Wright, Senior Mr. Don Wright, Senior left us on April 4, 2018, to be with our heavenly Father. Don passed peacefully at 72 years of age in the night with his loving family by his side. Don was born in Hume Virginia on July 22, 1945 in a small brick home. He was a loving and devoted Husband to his wife Margie and a vanguard leader to his children.

Don was an overachiever and believed that hard work never hurt anyone. He believed through effort and commitment anything is possible. He believed that family came first no matter what and that Jesus would guide his path in life. Don was a committed father to his children, Don was a hero and protector to his wife, Don was an advocate to his friends, and Don was a believer in his faith to the end.

Don met his wife (Margie) in Chicago Illinois over 50 years ago in a bar.

Don managed to get himself in a bar fight that night with Margie’s then boyfriend. Margie introduced herself to Don that night by breaking a beer bottle over his head. Since that memorable night Margie and Don have never been apart. Margie stated that “Don was a man among men”.

Cupid had his arrow and Margie had her beer bottle.

Don and Margie lived a true love story. The bible cites Genesis 2:24, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh”. Never were words so true when it came to Don and Margie. Don and Margie’s belief was if a couple truly loves the other, they will give everything they have so willingly to the other and because they love the other so much they will never take selfishly from one another. How breathtaking was the love story of Don and Margie; Don is survived by his amazing dedicated wife Margie and he has left a legacy of love, lessons learned and relentless fortitude to his surviving children, Don B. Wright Jr, Pamela Wright Wilder, Gloria Wright Necessary, Melonie Wright Reid, Dale Wright, Shenandoah Wright, Cathy Dalsky Divich, Brian Ehardt, Robert Ehardt, Pamela Ehardt Scavongelli, George Ehardt, Troy Ehardt and many grandchildren.

Don has meant so much to so many people. Let us not lament the fate of his death, but let us rejoice his ascension to the Lord.

Memorial services will be held at Marshall Virginia Baptist Church on Friday, April 13, 2018, at 1:00 pm. Please join us to remember a special man.

A reception gathering will be held after the service on the property.

Midland United plans Pancake Supper

BEGINNING AND ENDING WITH YOU

While the first chapter in your book of life may have begun with you as a completely innocent participant in your own affairs, the final pages will likely have your fingerprints all over them. With birth comes the inevitability of death. It certainly behooves us all to recognize and respect this fact of life, along with all of the implications it has for those who will survive us. With this in mind, it is better to plot the script for the final chapter than to leave the end for someone else to write.

Funeral prearrangement enables you to choose the specific terms of your funeral and burial or cremation. Because these decisions are deeply personal, only you should make them.

Pre-planning your funeral provides you with time to make end-of-life decision in a calm and rational atmosphere. At the time of an actual funeral, most decisions need to be made within a few hours. But, by preplanning the service options, you can take your time and make the decisions in an unhurried and thoughtful way. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 to schedule a consultation at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility.

Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.

Freshman David Cruz scored the game-winner in Friday’s 3-0 win over Raul Barboza (right) and Liberty. “David has looked dangerous every time we have put him in,” said coach Juan Garcia, whose first-place Falcons hosted Kettle Run on Tuesday.

Cruz, Strano, Gutierrez score in Fauquier’s 3-0 boys soccer win over Liberty

By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

Adolfo Gutierrez turned upfield to celebrate his last-second goal in Fauquier’s 3-0 boys soccer win against rival Liberty. Soon came congratulations as the Falcons rejoiced in a new experience.

At 2-0, Fauquier owns the very early lead in the Northwestern District, ahead of Millbrook (1-0) and defending Class 4A champion Kettle Run (2-1).

Although it may be too soon to celebrate such things, four-year starter Frankie Strano wasn’t holding back. “It means everything to me. I think this is the first year we have really had a strong conference start,” said Strano, whose undefeated Falcons are 3-0-1 overall.

Fauquier’s win was made possible by a strong second half as the Falcons thwarted the plans of first-year coach Dan Hayes’ fast-starting Eagles.

Host Liberty (2-1, 0-1) controlled possession in the first 15 minutes and created the game’s only early opportunities. Eagle Julio Pacheco almost

scored when he split defenders and narrowly missed wide of Tim Anikis’ goal.

With Liberty not connecting on their early advantages, the Falcons grasped theirs. In the 16th minute, Fauquier freshman David Cruz beat his defender to a ball just outside the corner of the box and lifted a beautiful shot across the field into the corner of the net for a 1-0 lead.

“I was looking around to see where the last defender was before I saw the ball go across the field and made my move,” Cruz said. “I saw the opportunity and I shot it.”

As a freshman, Cruz has jumped all over his early opportunities to help the Falcons, especially with Fauquier missing two starters on a school vacation.

“Today was the first time he has

started in that center spot,” said Fauquier coach Juan Garcia. “He has looked dangerous every time we have put him in. Being left-footed definitely helps. He has the speed to really stretch us out.”

Despite Cruz creating several more opportunities, Fauquier led 1-0 at halftime.

Garcia credited some halftime adjustments for putting the Eagles away.

“We saw what they were trying to do to us and counteracted it. We played a little more defense on the wings to narrow it, and for missing two starters who were on a school vacation this week we played really well,” Garcia said.

“They make me look smart, I always like that,” Garcia joked.

Fauquier had a great opportunity to open the second half as Gutierrez barely missed a long shot, but the Falcons scored two minutes later as Strano took an accurate pass, moved in and took advantage from close range to make it a 2-0 game.

“To start off with that goal and give us a little more breathing room helped out a lot,” Garcia said.

Liberty failed to pressure the Fauquier back line for the remainder of the game and in the waning moments Gutierrez broke free up the sidelines and sunk a shot into the upper right corner of the net.

It was the Eagles’ first loss after a 2-0 start. Liberty beat Brentsville, 1-0, and Eastern View, 4-2.

“Overall I thought they played well in creating opportunities,” said Hayes.

But he lamented the non-finishing.

“We just need to score goals,” said Hayes. “If you leave teams in games you suddenly don’t get the result. We are happy with the progress over the past few weeks though.”

Fauquier entered the sixth inning with a 7-3 lead before quickly adding two more runs.

Blaze O’Saben led Fauquier with three hits and three RBIs, while Clay Shafer and James Swart had

Lacey-led Eagle girls dispatch Falcons, 11-7

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The Liberty girls lacrosse team displayed composure in posting an 11-7 win over visiting Fauquier in the opening Class 4 Region B contest for both schools last Thursday.

The match hung in the balance until the closing six minutes, but the Eagles were up to the challenge.

“They are a really good opponent. We came out composed and played as a team,” said Liberty junior Kaila Lacey after scoring a game-high five goals. “I think winning a big game like this gives us a lot of confidence.”

The region’s seven teams play only six regional games, so each outing is key for seeding in the postseason tournament.

Liberty opened up an early 2-1 lead before Fauquier ripped off three straight goals on strikes by Madison Filson, Jamie Renzi and Zoe Savage.

Liberty coach Kat Tines immediately called timeout to steady her charges, and the Eagles responded.

Liberty grabbed momentum during an eight-minute period at the end of the first half and the opening six minutes of the second.

Lacey tallied a quick stick score off a Gretchen Thomas assist to make it 4-3. They repeated their magic moments later when Lacey cut from the left side, converting Thomas’ second assist. That score came with only 3.8 seconds left in the half to tie it at 4-4.

Jada Hord’s three goals helped Liberty defeat rival Fauquier 11-7 in girls lacrosse last week.

Liberty maintained the upper hand to start the second half as Jada Hord, who finished with three goals, notched an unassisted goal. She struck again for a 6-4 lead after Eagle goaltender Sophia Vilaca saved a free position try 16 seconds earlier.

Both Vilaca and Fauquier’s A.J. Adan made difficult stops in the first half, but Vilaca was more effective in the second 25 minutes.

“She had an incredible game because they have some really good shooters. We knew that, and she was prepared for that and played her butt off,” Tines praised.

“She was definitely key to Liberty’s defense. She had a great game and stopped quite a few shots, up in the teens at least,” said Fauquier coach Ken McInnis.

McInnis thought his girls helped Vilaca by often “shooting directly into the goalie’s stick. There must have been 10 or 12 of those shots,” McInnis said.

Fauquier cut the margin to a single goal three times. On each occasion, Liberty’s composure led to retaliation in less than 90 seconds to reestablish breathing room.

After Savage scored an unassisted goal with 5:51 remaining to narrow the gap to 8-7, Liberty tallied the final three goals of the night on strikes from Lacey, Hord and Rachel Brown.

Emma Miller and Thomas had Liberty’s other goals. Savage’s two

scores paced Fauquier, with Cordova, O’Hara, Filson, Renzi and Sarala Grayson-Funk adding one each.

“It was a big win, I wanted to make it count,” Hord said of the rivalry. “I was nervous at first because it was a big game for us. I think after the first half, I was ‘It’s our game now.’”

Fauquier was coming off a 17-2 home pasting of Osbourn Park, while Liberty had an earlier 4-3 overtime win over the Yellow Jackets.

“If anything was learned from this game, you cannot go by what a team did against another opponent,” McInnis said. “I don’t know what got into the girls tonight. They didn’t play like they did last night.”

But McInnis predicts Fauquier will rebound. “We are truly a team and it’s only a matter of time before we start firing on all cylinders,” he concluded.

Tines was impressed with the Eagles’ defensive positioning, movement and communication in thwarting many Fauquier opportunities.

“That’s been a huge focus for us,” Tines said. “We’ve come a long way with that.”

Pick up a racquet and join us Eight newcomers, three veterans comprise Eagles’ new-look girls tennis team

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The search is on for Liberty’s still-emerging girls tennis team.

Coach Joan Sinnott lost three seniors from her 2017 unit, but returns the senior trio of Amy Lee, Bethany Mizelle and Maria Cruz to accompany the eight new players on the 11-girl lineup.

Liberty is not fielding a boys team after only three players came to tryouts.

Sinnott is pleased with the girls’ turnout and notes her new-look team is promising.

“Although the majority of my players are new, there is great potential,” Sinnott said. “All are hard-working, coachable athletes, I am looking forward to watching this team grow.”

The Eagle girls lost to Fauquier 9-0 last Friday in Warrenton to fall to 0-3 and 0-2 in the Northwestern District. The Eagles dropped matches to Brentsville (6-3) and Sherando (9-0) before spring break.

This spring’s nettlesome weather has hampered the search for a permanent lineup. Sinnott said future lineups could change because challenges for positions will continue this week due to the lost practice time.

Assistant coach Gary Colson noted the weather’s effects are more pronounced on squads filled with new-

The fresh faces of Ben Venue

Gaining invaluable experience at ODH point-to-point

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

“You gotta start Racing this week somewhere.”

52nd annual Loudoun That comment by Vir- Hunt Point-to-Point ginia circuit current leading trainer Neil Morris • When: Sunday, could have come from April 15. First post: any of the competitors at 12 p.m.

Saturday’s Old Dominion • Where: Oatlands, Hounds Point-to-Point, just south of which adopted a back-to- Leesburg.

• What: Side-saddle basics format this year.

Facing a limited draw steeplechase, seven on riders due to a point-to- races over hurdles point in Maryland, plus a and timber, and on sanctioned meet in Geor- the turf gia, entries for the ODH • Details: open races at Ben Venue loudounhunt.com Farm figured to be light.

Knowing that, longtime joint-master Gus Forbush helped design a unique race card emphasizing low level, introductory divisions that were a throwback to days when future pros learned the trade in restricted divisions.

“It’s how it used to be,” said Forbush, who retired this season after 20 years leading the Orlean-based club. “When I used to race, it was all amateur (events.) Professionals wouldn’t come to a point-to-point” because nearly every race was limited to owner-riders, or qualified foxhunters with a program filled out by pony and junior races.

Changes in the sport, Forbush said, caused pointto-point sponsors in recent years to tweak conditions to suit professionals as sanctioned circuit tune-ups rather than offer poorly-filled amateur races.

But ODH took point-to-pointing right back to its roots Saturday, carding novice rider, restricted, young adult and ladies races.

The experiment worked, with good entries and professional horsemen pleased at the multiple opportunities afforded for young riders.

Current leading trainer Neil Morris was one who appreciated the chances at ODH, saddling Pathfinder Racing’s Strong to win the novice rider turf, giving the sanctioned horse a pre-season spin and allowing aspiring jockey Emme Fullilov to hone her racing skills.

“We need to put these young riders on more horses,” said Morris, a 14-time Virginia training titlist. “These riders are our future. The pony division feeds the junior restricted races, which feeds the novice rider division. It’s a natural progression. We just need to make sure it happens.”

Pre-race course walks led by a pro were available to tutor competing young riders. At Old Dominion, seven-time Virginia champ Jeff Murphy looked like a mother duck with a dozen ducklings in tow.

Murphy marched around the Ben Venue Farm course with his cadre, newbies hanging on his every word of advice about racing strategy.

“Jeff teaches them not only about race riding but about everything you’ll do on race day,” Morris said.

“From formally greeting your owners in the paddock to discussing the race with the horse’s trainer. From riding the race to weighing in afterwards. Thanking the owners afterwards. All of it counts.”

Murphy has won nearly 200 races from almost 1,400 mounts in 16 seasons, including two open condition races Saturday at Old Dominion, and is a huge proponent of the division system. “I think it’s very important to give young (or) inexperienced riders every chance to build confidence,” Murphy said.

Maryland high school senior Elizabeth Scully won the restricted adult turf race last Saturday at Ben Venue.

Help from race professionals has helped her move from the show ring to the hunt field to pony racing, and now to limited “division” competition in steeplechasing.

Emme Fullilov, in blue and orange stripes, won the novice division.

Murphy noted that in division races rider conditions are limited to keep competition level, but that horse conditions are relaxed, to attract veteran, and safer, runners. “There’s nothing like the real thing. All the work at home can’t compare to racing in real time,” he said.

Novice winner Fullilov started riding at age 11 with her then-neighbor, the late Bay Cockburn, a champion circuit rider and, later, trainer. “The pony and young adult races help with getting you into race day ‘routine’,” she said. “Making sure your silks are clean, making sure your gear is organized.”

Young riders post ODH wins

Amber Hodyka won the ladies’ timber aboard recent timber convert Manacor.

Comanchero for Leslie Young.

She agreed that support from the professional jockey colony is key. “I’ve had so much help from so many jockeys,” she said. “I wasn’t hesitant to ask questions. Being in a pool of younger riders, the pros are happy to pass on tips because eventually we’ll be the future of racing.

“The most valuable advice is ‘to ride as much as you can.’ The other is to surround yourself with good people and soak up everything they say. You have to work up from the bottom, and be keen to learn.”

Scully rides out for trainer Willie Dowling, and works with champion amateur Mark Beecher.

‘The rise ball was getting everyone’

Lamper whiffs 14 Eagles as Fauquier wins 3-2

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

In a duel of expected Northwestern District softball contenders, Fauquier downed Liberty, 3-2, thanks to a lockdown effort from senior pitcher Sarah Lamper, who allowed three hits and struck out 14.

The visiting Falcons withstood a tworun sixth-inning homer by Liberty star Lizzie Waln, but held on in the Northwestern District opener for both schools. Fauquier is 3-1 and 1-0. Liberty is 2-2 and 0-1.

The story of the game was Lamper’s rise ball, and the one to Waln that didn’t rise.

“The batters for Liberty just didn’t seem to be able to see it out of my hand well enough. It was working early, so it got called more than anticipated,” Lamper said.

Ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Waln pulverized a two-run homer over the center field fence to make it 3-2. “It was right down the middle. I knew when it came out of her hand ‘This is my pitch,’” Waln said.

“The one I threw to Lizzie was supposed to be a rise ball. It did not rise at all,” Lamper said laughing. “Props to her for hitting the mistake.”

“Lizzie hit the hell out of that ball. She deserved it,” said FHS coach Mark Ott. Fauquier grabbed a 2-0 first inning lead off Liberty pitcher Hope Mullins.

After Falcon leadoff hitter Calloway Lee reached on an error and Zoe Ott walked, Lamper lined a one-hop double off the right center-field fence for a 1-0 lead.

“Because I was anticipating, I was able to sit back and jump on it,” Lamper said.

Amber Hodyka wins ladies’ timber YOUNG RIDERS, from Page 34 Graduate “A” pony clubber, Amber Hodyka rose through the ranks, Saturday winning the ladies’ timber aboard recent timber convert Manacor. “I think taking your time through the divisions really helps,” she said. “My first year I rode only flat races for my boss Jimmy Day, to learn how to ride a race. As in your position (during a race,) your (relative) speed, and (when and where) to make a move.”

Day, a longtime professional jockey before hanging up his tack and turning to training in 1988, “really understands race riding,” Hodkya said, critical to teaching others. “I went on to riding over hurdles the following year with all that knowledge from a year of flat races.

“It set me up perfectly, and I ended up winning novice (rider) division. I wouldn’t have been able to do this if I didn’t have the miles. Now I’m riding over timber, using all the skills I’ve learned.”

Around the circuit

At Saturday’s Georgia Cup near Atlanta, Peggy Steinman’s Bullet Star (Kieran Norris) captured the $20,000 distaff hurdle for trainer Doug Fout.

The Orange County point-to-point graduate was nearly two lengths best in the competitive race.

into shallow left field that glanced off the shortstop’s outstretched glove for a hit to score Ott for a 2-0 lead.

Fauquier pushed across the eventual winning run off new Liberty pitcher Makaela Kestner in the top of the fourth.

With one out, designated player Meghan Harrington drew a walk with flex player Emma Carter running. An infield error helped Carter reach third base. Right fielder Lauren Davis then laid a safety squeeze bunt down the right side to score Carter, who beat the throw to the plate to make it 3-0.

The Falcons loaded the bases, but Kestner struck out the next Falcon to end the inning.

Liberty had only one hit through five innings, but made their move in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Anna Marie Hockman led off with a rocket single off the third baseman’s glove, with pinch runner Paige Kyle advancing to second on Lamper’s wild pitch.

Kestner bunted toward third as Falcon Presley Harris sprinted and dove for the diving Kyle. The base umpire ruled her safe, but the plate umpire overruled on appeal, calling her out.

That defensive play proved to be critical because Waln, batting next, crushed a two-run homer that easily could have been a three-run blast.

In the bottom of the seventh, Rachel Allen walked with one out, but Lamper responded with two strikeouts to end the game.

MAYBE COLE ANDERSON SHOULD PLAY BASEBALL Falcon goes 17-for-17 on faceoffs in 14-2 boys lacrosse win over Liberty

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Fauquier’s FOGO seemed to have the ball on a yo-yo Thursday.

And that helped the host Falcons dominate Liberty 14-2 in boys lacrosse to keep them undefeated at 3-0.

Cole Anderson, Fauquier’s “Face Off/Get Off” (or FOGO) specialist, won all 17 of his faceoff attempts, and he rarely had to rely on the Falcons’ midfield wings to possess the ball as he often used a pinch-and-pop move to secure the ball himself in one swift motion.

“That was probably my best game” in history, the senior midfielder said. “I was just dialed in from the start. … I just know where to pop it out [so] I’ll have a clear shot to get the groundball.”

Anderson recalled only one other perfect performance in his career and it didn’t match the 17 consecutive faceoff wins he had Thursday.

“Normally you’ll lose some here and there,” Fauquier coach Richard Carpenter said. “One hundred percent? That’s awesome. … He works hard at it.”

As Fauquier’s faceoff specialist, Anderson typically runs off the field immediately after his team gains possession. Then he lines up toward the back of the Falcons’ midfield rotation, so he sometimes spends long stretches on the bench after quickly winning faceoffs.

“I’m only out there for a couple seconds,” he said, “but I feel like it’s the most important couple seconds of the game.”

The Eagles (2-3) claimed their lone faceoff victory after Anderson left the game late in the fourth quarter with Fauquier leading 13-2. Anderson’s dominance, and Liberty’s struggles to clear the ball after making defensive stops, allowed the Falcons to attempt an impressive 49 shots in the game.

“If you’re not shooting a lot, you’re not going to get goals,” Carpenter said.

Unfortunately for the Falcons, they made only 29

Cole Anderson (above) had a perfect day in the faceoff circle as the Falcons downed Liberty 14-2. percent of their shots, in part thanks to Eagles goalie Ryan Lasher. The senior finished with 16 saves.

“Their goalie is amazing,” Anderson said.

“He’s probably the best in the nation. He’s the best goalie I’ve ever gone against. He made some insane saves today.”

Lasher has saved nearly 70 percent of the shots he has faced in his career, Liberty coach Mike Gesiotto said.

“Very quick hands,” Carpenter said. “We definitely had to work the ball past him. You had to take smart shots.”

Jackson Eicher led the Falcons with five goals, while fellow attackman Jack Averna led them in shot attempts and finished with four goals and two assists. Nate Thomason added two goals and two assists, while Liberty’s goals came from Brandon Mullins and Trey Keys.

‘It’s going to make us stronger’

Kettle Run girls lacrosse team undaunted after losses to Loudoun teams

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Too much Loudoun County.

Joanie DeGoosh and her Kettle Run varsity girls lacrosse players will be happy to be done with schools from that jurisdiction, at least until the postseason.

The host Cougars fell to 1-4 Monday night with a 15-8 loss to Woodgrove.

Kettle Run’s tough schedule opens with seven contests against Class 4 and Class 5 teams from the lacrosse-rich northern neighbor.

“The thing with playing the Loudoun schools, it’s tough competition, but they prepare us for tough competition. It’s going to make us stronger,” said coach Joanie DeGoosh.

The Cougar’s Class 4 Region B schedule begins next week after they played the same teams last season in the Evergreen Conference and finished as the champion. There also is a game against a very weak Osbourn team before the regional playoff that will send two schools into the state quarterfinals.

Both senior Mary O’Toole and junior Grace Small believe rewards will come despite the rough start.

“It is frustrating, but it is helping us to grow as a program,” O’Toole said.

“It’s a smaller team this year and a smaller program. We get run into the ground sometimes, but

I’ve seen the progress first hand,” O’Toole said of the roster size caused by injury and illness.

Senior all-district player Maria Sturges (illness) is expected to return next week to DeGoosh’s relief, coinciding with the beginning of the Region B slate. “I’ll just be happy to get Maria back. Next week is a transitional week; one day at a time,” the coach said.

Woodgrove blitzed the home team with six goals in the opening 6 minutes, 39 seconds Monday night, adding a seventh goal eight minutes into the fray before Small got Kettle Run on the board at the 16:23 mark.

“We gave them quite a head start,” Small said, but as the initial sting wore off, Kettle Run began to play on an even keel with Woodgrove. The hosts had some close shots hit the pipes and rebound, so the final count could have been closer.

“Then we started having more fun and started running our style and just relax,” Small said of a mantra the coaches are espousing. “That’s when we started making plays.

When we’re having fun, we’re more team oriented. As a team, you have to keep your head up, stay positive on the field.”

Small led Kettle Run with four goals, O’Toole tallied three and Jillian Bennett scored once.

DeGoosh said the team appears to be on an upswing. “We played Friday night against Freedom, and we lost (11-7) but we played well,” she recalled.

“We lost tonight, but the girls played tough.

“They didn’t give up. They had the fight in them. That’s what matters.”

The Eagles struggled to score because they attempted only nine shots. Their 30 turnovers – compared to Fauquier’s 14 – limited their offensive opportunities as they often failed the clear the ball after Lasher saves or defensive stops.

“Clearing the ball, that’s a perennial issue,” Gesiotto said. “One day we’re clearing like a pro and then the next game not so much.”

The Eagles hung with Fauquier in the first half.

They began the second quarter in a 1-1 tie and trailed only 4-1 entering halftime, which is no small feat for a team that has at least a 21-game losing streak against the Falcons.

“I think we played fine,” Gesiotto said. “Fauquier’s one of the powers of our Evergreen Conference,” he said. “And I was basically playing with 70 percent of my starters.”

At long last, a match In season opener, Fauquier girls tennis blanks Liberty, 9-0

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The calendar said April 6. The Fauquier girls tennis team finally played, beating Liberty, 9-0, last Friday in Warrenton.

“We just wanted to get that first one in and get started; now hope to keep things rolling,” coach Rob Deavers said gratefully.

Fauquier was scheduled to debut March 20, one week later than almost every other team, until weather intervened. The schedule could become crowded as the Falcons will play three matches a week for the remainder of the season, as do most programs. Additional postponements could lead to cancellation of non-district matches.

The Falcons opened without No. 1 singles player Walker Evans due to a field trip, so everyone bumped up one spot.

Jennifer Adgate edged Lee, 9-7, in No. 1 singles. At No. 2, Falcon Kiki Scott won, 8-6, over Mizelle, and teammate Evie Leary downed Cruz by the same score at the third slot.

Fauquier controlled the bottom half of the lineup, losing just three total games. Sophie Bartholomaus took an 8-0 win at No. 4 singles, while Melanie Turner was an 8-3 victor at No. 5. Shelby Nesbit wrapped up the singles sweep with her 8-0 decision at No. 6.

In doubles, the Adgate-Scott pairing was an 8-4 winner versus Lee and Mizelle in the No. 1 spot. Leary and Bartholomaus and Nesbit and Turner also won.

Orlean Fire Department monthly breakfast is Sunday Spring. Maybe? Just sit back, look out of the window and wait for whatever comes. By the time that you read this, the dire predictions for this past weekend will be over and we hope that all will be well.

(Remember that our columns are written one week early.)

We just finished the Fauquier County Library Community Read selection, “Thunder Dog.” If you have not had the opportunity to read this gut-wrenching account of Michael Hingson’s escape from the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, get a copy and prepare yourself for a recap of our country’s worst day ever. This book is especially interesting to your writer since I spent many years working in a residential facility for the deaf and blind. It refreshed my memory about the struggles that these young people faced when they were away from their families and homes for long periods of time and the wrong concepts which they endured from the public about their “handicaps.” Mike and Roselle, his guide dog, are shining examples of “just living,” faith and trust. Get the book.
