VFW Post 9835 looking for a permanent home Warrenton Visitor Center would meet ‘98 percent’ of post’s needs By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC Eric Bradley of Hume, right, stopped by the VFW Post 9835 table outside the Giant grocery store in Warrenton on May 24. Jeff Dombroff, post commander, left, and others from the post were selling poppies for a fundraising drive prior to Memorial Day.

Project asks residents to ‘Listen: The Community Speaks’

Members of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9835 would like a place to call home. Post meetings are currently held in the Warrenton-Fauquier Visitor Center at 33 Calhoun St. in Warrenton. The space provided by the town, which costs the post $35 in monthly rent, is fine, but post members want their own headquarters. “To my knowledge, we’ve never had a permanent home,” said Jeff Dombroff, current post command-

er, who served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam. Having one “would give post members a sense of belonging.” He said they could have meetings and it would be a place for members to socialize at other times, and perhaps provide space to rent out for other functions. Rental money could fund the post’s work in the community and be used to assist veterans. “It would be a home for us to do various things for the community … in our own brick-and-mortar building. Something that could be our own place,” said John Frederick, a Vietnam War veteran from Warrenton and a member of the post. Post 9835 is hoping a building would be donated or sold for a small sum.

“Listen: The Community Speaks,” an oral history project conducted by the Afro-American Historical Association, will wrap up at the end of June. The PATH Foundation awarded a grant in 2018 to the AAHA so it could capture the memories of African-American residents who were raised in Fauquier County’s black neighborhoods 50 or more years ago. It all started with a roundtable discussion in April 2018 at Mount Nebo Baptist Church in Morgantown. Twenty participants with Fauquier County roots gathered to compare notes on their impressions of the Free State area near Marshall when they were growing up. Angela

Democratic candidates campaign before June 11 primaries By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The June 11 primary election will decide which candidates will be on the ballot in the Nov. 5 general election. Voters choosing the Democratic Party ballot can vote for one of two candidates running for the 18th District House of Delegates seat and between two seeking the 88th District House seat. As per Va. Code §24.2-530 all registered voters are allowed to vote in the primary, however, a voter shall only vote for the candidates of one party, not both. There is no Democrat primary in precincts 101 (Kettle Run), 102 (Catlett), 103 (Casanova), 502 (New Baltimore) and 504 (Vint Hill).

18th District

In the 18th District House of Delegates race, Tristan Shields is making a return bid to win the seat now held by Republican Michael Webert. Shields lost to Webert two years ago. The resident of Rixeyville in Culpeper County faces Laura Galante of Marshall. The two are scheduled to debate at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, at the Warrenton Community Center. The 18th District includes parts of Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties and all of Rappahannock County. Shields said he has been listening and talking to voters in the 18th District about the “real problems” facing them. Traffic, education and opioid addiction are the three top concerns, according to the candidate. “If you look at the video of the Route [U.S.] 29 meeting in Remington you see the state kind of abandoned us,” Shields said, referring to an April community meeting during which Virginia Department of Transportation staff explained a plan to redesign the U.S. 29 intersection at Freemans Ford Road. Restricted crossings with U-turn movements would have replaced an existing traffic light. The public turned against the plan once it was recommended for funding, and the county board of supervisors rescinded its request for funding of the R-cut; supervisors are talking with VDOT officials about alterna-

tives. Shields said one option would be an overpass, though at an estimated $30 million, it would be about four times more expensive than the R-cut proposal. Reducing the sheer volume of traffic would help, he said. “We need to get people off the road. We need to seriously consider extending VRE to Haymarket or Bealeton and extend rural broadband so more people can work from TRISTAN home.” SHIELDS Regarding the opioid addiction problem, the district needs more “affordable” recovery centers to help those trying to overcome addiction, Shields said. He said he’d support needle exchange programs in communities where addiction is a particular problem. Shields’ opponent, Laura Galante, is stressing aiding farmers, education in the trades, and broadband infrastructure. “We have top-notch agriculture. I’d like to make sure our farms have the marketing access to get their highest return, so that they can compete at the highest level,” said Galante, whose website and campaign signs carry the message “The Future is Rural.” Coordinated marketing efforts and new supply chain networks can help farmers extend their commercial reach, she said. Galante was active in 4-H as a girl. On the career front, Galante noted, “There are so many jobs that LAURA involve an apprenGALANTE ticeship and a skill needed for success. We have to get people interested in those jobs.” That means exposing students to those type of jobs at an early age — 14 or 15 — rather than just before graduation, she said. It

also involves improving offerings at community colleges and the technical training programs in public schools. To expand broadband access, Galante proposes “getting specific on a goal,” like laying fiber to extend the reach of internet providers. Virginia should also update existing maps showing what areas need service. The existing maps are outdated and based on commercial data for marketing purposes, she said. As a career, she works on cybersecurity issues. She just returned from Ukraine where there was an election recently. She was working on a post-election review to determine whether there had been any tampering.

88th District

In the 88th District, Jessica Foster of Remington is running against Kecia Evans of Stafford County for the Democratic Party nomination. The June 11 winner will face Republican Mark Cole, who doesn’t face a primary challenge. The 88th District includes parts of Fauquier, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties and part of the city of Fredericksburg. Foster is a defense attorney with an office in Manassas. “I’ve been doing a lot of door knocking. That’s how I got the most important feedback,” she said. “Many don’t know who their delegate is, which is unforJESSICA tunate. Some of FOSTER what I do is educating people about what the General Assembly does — that it has two chambers like Congress. “For the most part, people are saying they think health care is too expensive and they feel that education is not a priority. They are also sitting in traffic,” said Foster. Foster backs expansion of health insurance coverage to lower-income Virginians, regulating the prices of life-saving drugs and action by Congress to provide universal health coverage. Foster supports better pay for teachers, job training and apprentice-

ships for students who are not college bound and reducing the cost of college for those who are. Rather than expanding the road system, Foster supports greater investment in public transportation options. Her opponent, Kecia Evans, says education, affordable housing and transportation are the key issues she talks about on the campaign trail. She notes that Stafford County recently gave its teachers and school staff 5 percent pay raises. “We need to make sure they are even across the board” in other counties, she said. Higher pay puts affordable housing within reach. “A f f o r d a b l e housing is not low-income housing. It’s housing that public ser- KECIA EVANS vants like firefighters, police and teachers can purchase,” Evans said. Special education is of importance to her. Evans serves on a special education advisory committee in Stafford. “We talk a lot about class ratios,” she said, referring to the balance of students per teacher and how that can be improved so that teachers can spend more time with individual students. On the economic front, Evans said the minimum wage should be raised from its current $7.25 per hour level to put more money in the pockets of workers. Evans wants to look at ways to provide mass transit options to the 88th District. “If we could bring OmniRide to Aquia that would be great,” she said, referring to the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission. “We’d be getting more cars off the road. If Metro came to Prince William County that would be great.” She pledges to be “fiscally responsible” with taxpayer dollars if elected. “Not raising taxes is my goal,” Evans added.

Fauquier Hospital scores a B on Leapfrog safety measures For the second time in a row, Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton has earned a “B” safety rating from The Leapfrog Group, an organization that assigns safety grades twice a year to hospitals around the country. CEO Chad Melton said that the hospital was “so close” to the “A” label for the spring 2019 release. The hospital’s overall score was 3.1442. In order to earn an “A,” the organization needed to achieve a score of 3.151, said Melton. Inova Health hospitals in Fairfax, Fair Oaks and Loudoun, as well as Novant Health facilities in Haymarket, Culpeper and Prince William all earned As, as did the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. Mary Washington Hospital in Stafford and Winchester Medical Center earned Bs. Melton pointed out in an interview May 20 that the score to aim for changes each year. The score that earns an “A” is based on a percentage of hospitals that are performing at a certain level. And, he says, hospitals everywhere are upping their game. “The bar becomes higher every year.” He added that the requirements Leapfrog uses to judge hospital performance do not remain static. “Every year new requirements are put in place, he said. Leapfrog letter grades take into account objective data relating to

How Leapfrog arrives at safety scores Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades are assigned to more than 2,600 general acute-care hospitals in the U.S. twice a year. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses national performance measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Leapfrog Hospital Survey and other supplemental data sources. Some of the data used to tally a score is from 2018 measures; other data goes as far back as 2015. SOURCE: HOSPITALSAFETYGRADE.ORG

patient outcomes as well as patient surveys, which are more subjective. Letter grades are based on a combination of both types of data. It’s a complicated formula. The University of Virginia, for instance, earned an A overall, but its infection scores were below those of Fauquier Hospital, which scored a B overall. This spring was the first time since the spring of 2016 that UVA scored an A. The hospital earned Bs the previous six cycles. Another “A” hospital with a strong regional reputation, Inova Fairfax earned an A in the fall of 2018 but Bs for the previous five cycles. The Leapfrog website shows that some of

its surgery safety numbers are still below the national average. Fauquier Hospital scored well on infections and safe administration of medication. Several below-average areas fit under the heading of communication — communication with doctors, communication with nurses and responsiveness of hospital staff, for instance. Melton said the hospital is always working on communication. As examples, he cites the consistent use of white boards in patient rooms to share information with patients and families; bedside shift reports (a purposeful transfer of information — with the patient — during nursing shift changes), and leadership

rounding (managers and directors meet with patients to ensure patients are being updated about their care, to answer questions and address any issues). Melton said that Fauquier Hospital has a team in place to address patient care and patient satisfaction, which are tracked in real time. “In late April and May,” he said, scores started to improve. “We are doing a better job of communicating the ‘whys’ to patients and sharing information about follow-up plans.” He added that the hospital is fully staffed with nurses and that its use of agency nurses — nurses who work on a temporary basis and are not on staff — is down from 30 to nine.

Ten alcohol-related arrests over Memorial Day weekend

Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 10 people over the Memorial Day weekend for offenses involving driving while intoxicated or being drunk in public, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the sheriff’s office. Three of the incidents resulted in car crashes. On Friday night, May 24, deputies found two people fighting in a driveway on Kelly Road in Warrenton. Madison Danza, 21, of Arlington, was arrested for being drunk in public, said Hartman. A few hours later, at 12:22 a.m. on Saturday on Alleghany Street in Warrenton, Hartman said, Brady Dixon, 22, of Warrenton was arrested for being drunk in public and felonious assault. Luke Frazier, 25, of Linden, was arrested for being drunk in public. Hartman said that deputies determined Dixon had assaulted Frazier and was also

found to be wanted by Warrenton Police for destruction of property. At 3:12 a.m. on Saturday, a sheriff’s deputy stopped a vehicle on the Eastern Bypass for speeding, said Hartman. Aizar Mendoza Mendoza, 41, of Reva, was arrested for driving under the influence. Marcos Hernandez, 29, of Culpeper, was arrested for being drunk in public, the spokesman said. Richard Schraf, 21, of Gainesville was arrested for being drunk in public just before 1 a.m. on Sunday on Vint Hill Road, Hartman said. On the evening of Sunday, May 26, Hartman said that a single-vehicle crash resulted in Stephen Ulrich, 30, of Manassas being arrested for DUI after he crashed a Jeep into a guard rail on Ashville Road in Delaplane. At about the same time, deputies arrested Jer-

emy Smith, 47, of Albany, New York, for being drunk in public in the area of Vint Hill Parkway and Farm Station Drive, Hartman said. He added that deputies were responding to a report of an individual jumping in front of moving vehicles. Kevin Matheny, 39, of Remington, was charged with DUI and reckless driving after side-swiping two vehicles traveling northbound on Remington Road on Monday night at 5:37 p.m., Hartman said. The three-vehicle crash was near Norfolk Southern Railway tracks and delayed train traffic until the crash was cleared, said Hartman. On Monday, May 27, at midnight, Hartman reported that Victoria Fredericks, 25, of Fairfax was arrested for DUI, refusal, and failure to maintain proper control after swerving to miss a deer and striking a guard rail on Beverley’s Mill Road in Broad Run.

The Plains residents asked to shelter in place Sunday night About 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 26, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office asked those who live on Bunker Hill Road near Featherstone Lane in The Plains to “please stay inside your house and shelter in place until further notice.” The FCSO commu-

nicated to residents through social media, the Everbridge Emergency Alert System and personal visits. Sgt. James Hartman explained that when deputies responded to a call to check on a resident regarding a medical issue, “the individual

was uncooperative and went inside the residence and would not come out. To preserve the safety of those living in the immediate area, deputies secured the area around the residence,” he said. Deputies, assisted by the Virginia

State Police, eventually were able to work with the individual, who was taken to receive medical assistance just after midnight, Hartman said. Residents were notified that the situation was resolved just after midnight. No criminal charges were filed.

Ukranian-born student acclimates to Fauquier High Milana Tarasova says that math comes easy, English is hard By Alisa Booze Troetschel Contributing Writer

Milana Tarasova is a poster child for blooming where you’re planted. The 15-year-old Ukrainian immigrant hits home runs in the academic field of Fauquier High School. She arrived in the U.S. in the early days of 2018 and began school a few weeks later. Despite her most difficult challenge — the English language — Milana has earned a 4.0 GPA every semester. War with Russia broke out 53 miles from the home she shared in Kharkiv, Ukraine, with her mother, Viktoriya Sulimova, and her 4-yearold half-brother, Albert Sulimov. Sulimova feared for her children’s safety. A plan was already in the works to relocate to the U.S. Milana’s stepfather, Oleg Sulimov, had moved to Warrenton four years earlier and established a business, Timekeeper Watch Service.

Looking back

Leaving the home of her childhood was wrenching for Milana. “I cried a lot, especially on the airplane,” Milana said. “ I remember every moment of how I left my grandma and my friends.” Milana misses her bedroom in the eighth-floor apartment that was home in Kharkiv. Photographs of friends and family hung on the walls. A white rug covered the floor. “I felt good in it,” she said. “It was cozy.” The view from her bedroom window connected her with friends and grandparents. She looked out over treetops, the roofs of two apartment buildings and a small park. She could see the windows of her friends’ homes; when she saw them walking, she would run out to meet them. Her grandparents worked in a squatty office building to one side of the clearing. When she visited them, her grandmother might give her a treat. The thought of moving to Warrenton was daunting. What would the new school be like? Would she feel comfortable in her new home? How well could she communicate in English? She was scared. Other than clothes and basic necessities, Milana tucked a chemistry book and a biology book in her luggage. “I thought I might need them,” she said. Milana maintained a demanding discipline of schoolwork in Kharkiv; if she wasn’t sleeping, she was studying. “I didn’t get enough sleep because I had to do my homework,” said Milana. Her mother enrolled her in a school that emphasized learning English. School in the U.S differs from the

MILANA TARASOVA school she knew in Ukraine in two major ways. “It is so easy,” said Milana. “My most difficult problem is with English.” The other change? She went through all her grades and classes in Ukraine with the same students around her. “This is so different,” she said. Fauquier County Public Schools administers the WIDA ACCESS Screener to evaluate immigrant students’ mastery of English. Milana tested on an intermediate level, said Leys Rodriguez, who teaches English as a Second Language at Fauquier High School. Nevertheless, Milana opted to take one ESL class to help her acclimate to the unfamiliar environment. Gratefully, she said that all of her teachers allow her to use her cellphone in class to access Google Translate. “She advocated for herself,” said Stephanie Strong, who taught English to Milana last year. Milana asked if she could read stories and novels in Russian, in which she is fluent, then do the assignments in English. Strong helped her to find Russian translations.

Looking ahead

Eventually, Milana would like to speak English without an accent. “My goal is to know English like you,” she said to this reporter. Milana made friends in her classes, and with whom she shares lunch. Talking with them is comfortable for her. “We talk about common stuff,” said Milana. Sometimes they laugh at her when she makes mistakes in speaking, but “in a good way,” she said. “If I mess up, they tell me how to say. But they don’t make fun of me. They help me learn English.” After school, Milana takes care of her little brother, sometimes cooking him dinner. She likes to bake and decorate cupcakes. Milana works on homework one to two hours every school night. “If something goes wrong with her, she does not give up, and tries again and again to lead her home-

work to an end,” her mother said. Lee Hoover, Milana’s biology teacher, has appreciated having her in his classroom. “She welcomes a challenge,” Hoover said. He learned a few words of Ukrainian, which means a lot to Milana. Milana doesn’t persist with her studies to make good grades. “I didn’t have a goal of making A’s,” Milana said. “I just got them.” What drives her is the overarching desire for a good education, at high school and beyond. While she does not know what subject area she will focus on in college, she is drawn to math. Jennifer Feehan teaches Milana geometry and says she’s usually quick to grasp the concepts. During a recent week’s absence from school, Milana taught herself trigonometry and submitted her assignments on her first day back. Everything was correct. Feehan divides her students into work groups of three. She notices that the two students in her group “lean on Milana.” She’s pretty sure Milana gives them a hand outside of class too. “I try to always be kind,” Milana said. “Her overall demeanor is that she enjoys life,” Hoover said. “She enjoys the adventure of it. ” He is impressed that she has learned this at so young an age. Overall, Milana has made a lasting impact on him.

When immigrant students arrive at Fauquier High School • Students begin at the welcome center at the Fauquier County Public Schools Central Office, directed by Miroslava Rogovich. • The next stop is Fauquier High School, where Leys Rodriguez, who teaches English as a second language, and a guidance counselor meet the student and parents. They take them on a tour of the school, explain the school schedule and acquaint them with the school system. • The principal, Clarence Burton III, usually greets the student and parents. • The student takes the WIDA ACCESS Screener, a state test to reveal the student’s skill with the English language. Depending on results, the student signs up for an ESL class. • The student enters the ageappropriate grade. • Immigrant students receive bilingual and monolingual dictionaries. Teachers allow extra time to complete tests and quizzes. • Rodriquez monitors the student’s progress by regularly touching base with teachers.

“When you retire, there’s a handful of students you always remember,” Hoover said. “Milana is one of those.”

Project asks residents to ‘Listen: The Community Speaks’ LISTEN, from Page 1 Hughes Davidson, community relations coordinator at AAHA and a moderator of the discussion, said it “was unbelievable because it ended up being a therapeutic session. People started talking about things that happened to them as a result of the integration process.” Over the course of a year, 15 interviews have been conducted, some with individuals and some with groups. They were focused on Fauquier County’s black neighborhoods — in Ashville, Crest Hill, Frytown, Haiti, Hurleytown, Morgantown, Oliver City, Orlean, Shipmadilly, Tall Timbers, The Plains and Waterloo. The conversations usually started out with a question about what participants remembered about their childhoods. The memories would start flowing slowly, then the remembrances tumbled over one another, rushing into shared reminiscences and overflowing the boundaries of the project. Some of the memories are joyful, others poignant or scary; there was a lot of shared laughter as the participants discovered common ground and mutual experiences. The Rev. Phillip C. Lewis was asked about the Haiti neighborhood in Warrenton. He said, “There was a connection — I tell folks that if I did something down the road, by the time I got home somebody would have called Mom and Dad and it wouldn’t be no disputing the story.” Churches were at the heart of all the neighborhoods. Lewis said he was baptized “at the little branch that runs down behind Miss Ethel and Mr. Ben King…. They would dam it up and go down in there. Daddy would be the one helping Rev. (Arthur) Stuart. He had his little boots on too and walk into the mud into the branch.” He added about the influence of the church on his boyhood, “We would always be comparing notes.

PATH grant preserves memories

Below left, Alma Johnson listens to the discussion. Below right, Rosetta Taylor D’Antignac remembers growing up in the Haiti neighborhood of Warrenton. You bounce from Ashville to Rectortown and everybody there knew me, knew Daddy, and you’d get a little sermon there and you’d get a little sermon here.” Almost all the participants had memories to share of the “colored” schools they attended, oneroom schoolhouses without indoor plumbing or central heating. Fauquier County had eight Rosenwald schools, named after Sears & Roebuck co-owner Julius Rosenwald, a philanthropist who helped build more than 5,300 schools for black children across the South. They comprised half of the all-black schools in the area during the first half of the 20th century. Several “Listen: The Community Speaks” inter viewees told harrowing stories they had heard from their aunts and uncles or grandparents. One remembered, “My great-grandmothers … both of them had experiences where they were raped by the slave owner. In one instance … he raped her and pushed her down in the cellar and threatened her that if she told his wife then she would be harmed worse … that would have been in Warrenton.” Some talked about barriers to voting, like the poll tax, which they said was 50 cents or $1. During the

The Afro-American Historical Association received a grant from the PATH Foundation for $65,765 to fund a “Perpetual Blackness” podcast as well as the oral history project “Listen the Community Speaks.” About $23,000 was designated for the oral histories. As part of the PATH grant, AAHA was also able to have oral histories from 2001 to 2002 transferred from VHS to digital files, “so they will be available for folks to listen to for years to come,” said AAHA Executive Director Karen White.

Shipmadilly interview, one man said, “My mom didn’t vote; my dad didn’t either. As a matter of fact, in my neighborhood of Shipmadilly I don’t believe any of the families voted back then (in the 1940s).”

Project nearing its close

Video has been captured, memories transcribed. As the “Listen: The Community Speaks” project nears its close, AAHA staff returned to Mount Nebo to reconnect a year later with folks from the Morgantown neighborhood on the outskirts of Marshall. Some participants had been interviewed in 2018; others were sharing for the first time. As the group compared experiences, AAHA executive director Karen White was able to list a dozen or so black families who lived near “Free State” over the years. White seems to know who married who, what their pre-married names were, how many children they had and where they lived, where they went to church and where they were buried. “Census records show how closely related we are,” she said. Davidson focused the group’s attention on the mid-1960s. One gentleman said that as a teenager, he applied to be a waiter at Airlie, but was put to work as a dishwasher. A person who applied after him, he said, who was white, got the job as a waiter. “I kept my mouth shut, so I could keep the job. It was a good place to work and when they had events, I got to be a waiter,” he said. Davidson pointed out that Airlie was one of the first businesses in Fauquier to hire blacks. “Of course, you could always find work in private homes …” The man added when he and his wife wanted to buy a house, they couldn’t get a loan. “She worked at the bank, and they wouldn’t give her a loan,” he said. He said that someone at another bank stood up for him and they got the money they needed to buy their first house. “It took someone to give you a chance.” Davidson asked, “Our first black president was elected in 2008. First thoughts? How did you feel?” The question elicited broad smiles all around. “Yay!” “Happy.” “I was crying, I was so excited.”

Gene Tines, an AAHA volunteer, said that he remembers that Rectortown rented a bus for the 2008 inauguration. Doris Fletcher, who grew up in Ashville, remembered going to both inaugurations. “It was something to see,” she enthused. But several roundtable participants said they were afraid for the Obamas. One remembered, “He reminded me of Martin Luther King Jr., because he spoke about change. But there were threats. I truly hoped that nothing would happen to them.” Davidson and Hughes are grateful to all the people who agreed to share their stories. Davidson said, “This has been fantastic. When I was young, kids couldn’t always stay in the house when adults were talking, but when you were allowed to, it was wonderful.” Participant Rosetta Taylor D’Antignac added, “We used to laugh and talk about how we used to sit there like a fly on the wall; I’d be so quiet and the next thing I know they’d be talking and my mother would look around and tell us to ‘get on out of here, grown people talking’ ... There was so much wisdom in those old people’s stories and tales.” For those Fauquier residents who would like to be a fly on the wall in the county’s traditional black neighborhoods, video and audio files as well as written transcripts of all the conversations may be found at the AAHA headquarters at 4243 Loudoun Ave. in The Plains. The AAHA is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and may be reached at 540-253-7488 or by email at info@aahafauquier.org. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Public hearing on Rogues Road project set for June 4 A public hearing will be held on June 4 on the design for the proposed reconstruction of VA 602 (Rogues Road) in Fauquier County. The Virginia Department of Transportation hearing will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at Kettle Run High School, 7043 Academic Ave., Nokesville. The proposed $5 million project involves reconstructing Route 602 from VA 9956 (Academic Avenue) to 0.36-mile north of Academic Avenue to improve safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. The improvements include adding a northbound left turn lane from Route 602 to Route 652 (Kennedy Road), signal modifications to provide pedestrian crossing at Academic Drive and a 10-foot-wide shared use path from Grapewood Drive to Kennedy Road. VDOT staff will be available to discuss the project and answer questions at the open house-style meeting. Written comments can also be submitted by mail to David Cubbage, Project Manager, 1601 Orange Road, Culpeper, VA 22701 through June 14. Email comments can be sent to David.Cubbage@vdot.virginia.gov. Anyone requiring special assistance to attend and participate in this meeting may contact VDOT at 540829-7500, 800-367-7623 or TTY/ TDD 711.

Police charge Warrenton man with distribution of prescription drugs Police arrested Steven Leon Banks, 55, of Warrenton on Thursday afternoon on drug charges, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. It is alleged that Banks obtained legitimate prescriptions for oxycodone from a doctor, filled those prescriptions and then sold the oxycodone pills on the street, he said. Hartman said that Banks is charged with a felony for distribution of a schedule II controlled substance. Oxycodone is an opioid; it is a powerful painkiller and one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs in the country, said Hartman. Banks was taken into custody at his home and was being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center on a $1,000 secured bond, Hartman said. The investigation that led to the arrest began in March. Detectives uncovered information that Bank was selling prescription pills. Fauquier deputies worked with the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force detectives in the investigation.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY’S REQUEST TO REVISE ITS FUEL FACTOR CASE NO. PUR-2019-00070 On May 7, 2019, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Company” or “Dominion Energy Virginia”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) its application (“Application”) pursuant to § 56-249.6 of the Code of Virginia seeking a decrease in its fuel factor from 2.700 cents per kilowatt hour (“¢/kWh”) to 2.4162¢/kWh, effective for usage on and after July 1, 2019. The Company’s proposed fuel factor, reflected in Fuel Charge Rider A, consists of both a current and prior period factor. The Company’s proposed current period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 2.2337¢/kWh is designed to recover the Company’s estimated Virginia jurisdictional fuel expenses, including purchased power expenses, of approximately $1.514 billion for the period July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2020. The Company’s proposed prior period factor for Fuel Charge Rider A of 0.1825¢/kWh is designed to recover approximately $123.7 million, which represents the sum of two projected June 30, 2019 fuel deferral balances. In total, Dominion Energy Virginia’s proposed fuel factor represents a 0.2838¢/kWh decrease from the fuel factor rate presently in effect of 2.700¢/kWh, which was approved in Case No. PUR-2018-00067. According to the Company, this proposal would result in an annual fuel revenue decrease of approximately $192.3 million between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020. The total proposed fuel factor would decrease the average weighted monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh of electricity by $2.84, or by approximately 2.4%. In its Application, Dominion Virginia Power also proposes a modification to the Commission’s Definitional Framework of Fuel Expenses for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Definitional Framework”). Specifically, the Company states that emissions allowances, including those for current NOx and SO2 regulation, as well as anticipated future CO2 regulation, are variable in nature and factor into the dispatch of the Company’s generation fleet. The Company further states that variable costs have traditionally flowed through the fuel factor, while fixed costs have historically flowed through base rates. The Company proposes to add a new paragraph (d) to the existing Definitional Framework to explicitly authorize the Company to recover emissions allowances through the fuel factor. The Company indicates that it is not expecting to sell any meaningful quantities of NOx and SO2 allowances during the current period. The Commission entered an Order Establishing 2019-2020 Fuel Factor Proceeding (“Order”) that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing to be held on July 30, 2019, at 10 a.m. in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness at this hearing should appear 15 minutes before the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff. Individuals with disabilities who require an accommodation to participate in the hearing should contact the Commission at least seven (7) days before the scheduled hearing at 1-800-552-7945. In its Order, the Commission also allowed the Company to place its proposed fuel factor of 2.4162¢/kWh into effect on an interim basis for usage on or after July 1, 2019. Copies of the public version of all documents filed in this case are available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Interested persons also may download unofficial copies from the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. The public version of the Company’s Application, pre filed testimony, and exhibits are available for public inspection during regular business hours at all of the Company’s business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia. A copy of the public version of the Company’s Application also may be obtained, at no cost, by written request to counsel for Dominion Energy Virginia, Horace P. Payne, Jr., Esquire, Dominion Energy Services, Inc., 120 Tredegar Street, Riverside 2, Richmond, Virginia 23219. If acceptable to the requesting party, the Company may provide the documents by electronic means. On or before July 23, 2019, any interested person wishing to comment on the Company’s Application shall file written comments with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118.

Standing side by side at Warrenton Cemetery during the Memorial Day remembrance are the leaders of the five veterans service organizations in Fauquier County: Jeff Dombroff, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9835; Russell Claar, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7728; Larry Washington, commander of American Legion Post 360; Joanne Smoot, commander of American Legion Post 247, and Claude Davenport, commander of American Legion Post 72. Right, The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office flew the colors at the parade.

Memorial Day in Warrenton Hundreds of residents from Warrenton and beyond cheered, clapped and stomped Monday morning in support of U.S. veterans from the country’s five service branches — the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. A parade started at 10 a.m. on Main Street and featured patriotic music from Fauquier County’s combined high school band, service veterans, members of law enforcement — and of course, red, white and blue unicyclists. The Memorial Day ceremony in the Warrenton Cemetery was scheduled to start at 11 a.m., but Jeff Dombroff, commander of Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 9835, was sympathetic to those standing in the hot

sun, and kicked things off at 10:30. Arden Manson was the keynote speaker. The Wakefield School seventh-grader read her first-in-thestate essay on “Why I Honor the American Flag.” (See the essay, presented as a guest editorial, on page 10.) Memorial Day normally has a somber tone, as participants remember those who sacrificed their lives defending their country. Good cheer prevailed, however, as veterans throughout the morning embraced in camaraderie and their friends and families displayed grateful support for all the men and women in uniform.

Above, Claire Drayton of Centreville shows her true colors. Far left, Fauquier’s three high schools’ combined marching band entertained crowds Monday morning. Left, Laura Baltagi was one of the Warrenton CrossFit athletes who completed the “Murph” workout — a 1-mile run, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats and another mile run. A 20-pound vest is worn for extra difficulty. The workout is one embraced by CrossFit gyms across the country on Memorial Day, in honor of men and women in the armed services. Baltagi was particularly pleased upon finishing the grueling workout because she turned in her best time in the three years she has been competing in the Murph, by four minutes. The 58-year-old Warrenton resident has been doing CrossFit for 5-and-a-half years.

VFW Post 9835 looking for a permanent home VFW, from Page 1 “It’s so expensive to acquire land,” let alone pay for construction, noted Frederick. “The post doesn’t have that kind of money.” Dombroff said other VFW posts have found ways to acquire buildings. A Fredericksburg post received a long-term lease from the city on a large building for a nominal $100 per year, charged to the post. The post pays for utilities and building maintenance. The building returns to the city’s hands if the post were to disband. A VFW post in Morrisville has “a nice little building that apparently was a church,” Dombroff said. “They rent it out for weddings and receptions and hold bingo as a way of earning money.” Dombroff said he’s talked to people in local and

county government and to business people about securing a building. The town of Warrenton has made an offer to purchase the former BB&T bank building on Main Street in Old Town. Acquiring it would answer the problem of limited space in the current town hall at 18 Court St. and consolidate offices spread out in several buildings in town. Some town-owned property, including the visitor center, could be sold as a result. Dombroff would love to make the town’s Visitor Center the VFW post’s permanent home. The visitor center fits the post’s needs “98 percent,” the commander said. “It’s on two levels, but it has an elevator. There’s a meeting room downstairs. There’s more than adequate parking,” said Dombroff.

Sean Polster, Warrenton council member at large, said the town hall’s possible move to Main Street is early in the process. “We’ve talked about disposing of property but nothing specific. Everything is on the table,” Polster said. Polster said public input will be sought before council decides anything about property. Acquiring a permanent home would let Dombroff check off one of three things he set as goals when he became commander. “The first was becoming an All-American Post (an honor for posts that reach certain goals), the second was reaching at least 65 percent life membership (it’s now at 63 percent), and the third was our own post home,” said Dombroff.

June 11 ‘Pardon Our Dust’ forum set for northbound U.S. 29 closure By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A “Pardon Our Dust” open house on Tuesday, June 11, at Battlefield Baptist Church will address questions residents may have about northbound lane closures on U.S. 29 near Vint Hill Road, which will start July 8. Members of the project team will be present to answer questions from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the church, located at 4361 Lee Highway. Even before the three-week closure, some initial site work will begin June 3 that will require nighttime lane closures, officials from the Virginia Department of Transportation reported. Starting on that date, one northbound lane will be closed from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m., Monday through Thursday; from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., Friday into Saturday; from 10 p.m. Saturday to 9 a.m., Sunday; and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday into Monday. One southbound lane will be closed from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., Monday through Thursday; from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., Friday into Saturday morning; from 9 p.m. Saturday to 8 a.m., Sunday; and from 9 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m., Monday. The June 11 forum can’t come soon enough for local residents concerned about how to get around the road work during the closures. The $4.6 million project will regrade northbound U.S. 29 lanes and cut down hills that obscure what’s ahead as drivers approach a traffic signal at Vint Hill Road. “Until people figure out where to go, I see that traffic getting worse for all who aren’t residents of the area,” said Tim Hoffman, president of the Vint Hill Homeowners Association, about the coming northbound shutdown during a meeting Thursday of the U.S. 29 New Baltimore Advisory Panel. The panel was formed to provide input to VDOT about the project. It’s been meeting monthly since June 2018. “I have employees who travel these roads. We’re concerned about this issue. What’s the maintenance of local traffic plan?” asked Bill Downey, of Downey & Scott, a construction management company at Vint Hill. He said he hoped wayfinding and detour signs would be posted.

Mark Nesbit, an engineer with VDOT’s Warrenton office, said the contractor’s maintenance of traffic plan is being reviewed and that final approval by VDOT should come within the next week, in time to share at the June 11 Pardon Our Dust meeting. Off-duty law enforcement officers will provide traffic management help, Nesbit said. VDOT has initiated an information campaign to inform the driving public of the coming northbound closure. The campaign is using news media, social media, display boards at public events as well as contacting local governments, chambers of commerce, travel associations, trucking companies and others. The information has gone out to all counties along U.S. 29, as far south as the North Carolina border and north as well. Illuminated signs have been stationed along roadsides for weeks and the project contractor will be posting additional message boards, said John Lynch, engineer for VDOT’s Culpeper District. But, Lynch said, “the first few days are going to be terrible” until drivers adjust. The closure of the northbound lanes from July 8 to Aug. 2 covers a distance of about 0.9 of a mile, from Riley Road (VA 676) to just south of the U.S. 29 intersection with Vint Hill Road (VA 215). Access to private entrances, including Battlefield Baptist Church, will continue during the closure, according to VDOT. Trucks with more than three axles will be barred from using Blantyre, Old Tavern and Beverleys Mill/Broad Run Church Road. Trucks making deliveries will need to use the posted U.S. 17 north detour to Interstate 66 eastbound and back to U.S. 29 southbound to access local businesses. VDOT has said that local traffic will be able to access all commercial and private entrances south of the project site. The closure won’t affect southbound traffic and drivers will be able to turn onto and from Vint Hill Road during the closure. During the weeks of closure starting July 8, northbound traffic will detour using U.S. 17 north from War-

renton to Interstate 66 at Marshall, then taking I-66 east to Gainesville. The U.S. 29 northbound approach to the Vint Hill Road (VA 215) intersection ranks as the top safety need in VDOT’s nine-county Culpeper District with the highest potential for safety improvement. Between 2013 and 2017, there were 113 crashes on that section of the highway. Accidents have continued despite the installation of rumble strips and a warning light that alerts drivers to a red traffic light ahead. The intersection is just south of the Prince William County line. Chemung Contracting Corp., of Mitchells, Virginia, was awarded the $3,544,568.45 design-build contract by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in April. Volkert Inc., of Mobile, Alabama, is handling the

project’s design. The project in its entirety is scheduled to be completed on Sept. 30. Chemung, Volkert and VDOT will all have representatives at the June 11 Pardon Our Dust forum. Information about the project is available on VDOT’s website on the Route 29 Corridor, Fauquier County page. Documents on the page include previous studies of the corridor as well as agendas and minutes from the Route 29 New Baltimore Advisory Panel meetings. Anyone interested in receiving email notifications and updates about the project can email Lou Hatter, Culpeper District communications manager, at Lou.Hatter@VDOT.Virginia.gov. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com.

Accident at Vint Hill Road closes U.S. 29 north In an example of the safety challenges that exist on U.S. 29 at Vint Hill Road, a four-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road closed the northbound lanes of U.S. 29 for almost an hour on Tuesday morning, May 28. Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office said that the crash took place at 4:21 a.m. He reported that the driver of a Honda Civic going north on U.S. 29 went through a red light at the intersection and struck a Toyota

RAV 4, which was making a left turn from Vint Hill Road onto U.S. 29 southbound. Hartman said that while those vehicles were still in motion, a RAM cargo van travelling northbound slowed to avoid the crash. A Dodge Grand Caravan, also travelling northbound, came over the hill, swerved and struck the cargo van. The driver of the Honda had injuries that required an airlift to a regional trauma center, said Hartman.

Guest editorial: ‘Why I honor the American flag’

Wakefield School student Arden Y. Manson’s essay, reprinted here, was presented at Warrenton’s Memorial Day observance Monday, May 27. The essay was named best in the state for the middle school division of the Patriot’s Pen competition. I honor the American f lag because it helped me find my true potential. You don’t have to be born in the U.S. to love the f lag. You don’t have to look American or have an American background. You have to treat others equally and be treated equally. It matters that you stay truthful to yourself through any battle ARDEN MANSON in your life. At Fort McHenry, the f lag stood through the War of 1812, clinging to the little piece of hope that lingered on through all the bloodshed and tears. I, too, have stood true to myself through conf lict and tears. On Feb. 5, 2008, I was adopted from a country many American soldiers gave their lives to protect. I officially became a U.S. citizen, but I didn’t always feel like one. When I first started school, I felt uncomfortable saying the Pledge of Allegiance, staring up at the f lag, because kids always asked me questions about my parents, my adoption, and where I was from. It was as though they thought I was an alien. As I got older, I started caring less and less about what other kids thought. I kept saying to myself, “Let them look, let them think what they want, but this country is where I know who I am.” After that realization, I carried on through each day no matter what words or questions were thrown at me. The f lag made me feel included, not unworthy. Now, I take pride in my American ancestry. My great-great-great grandfather fought at the Battles of Concord and Bunker Hill. The Stars and Stripes were there with him, the 13 stripes symbolizing the original colonies, including my family’s own ancestral state of Massachusetts. The red on the f lag symbolizes valor, the courage of those who fought there, and my own courage in asserting myself here, too. The white stripes on the f lag symbolize the purity of the motives for which my ancestors fought, and it also symbolizes the original goodness of every American citizen. The blue on the f lag symbolizes the justice of their cause and their perseverance in fighting for it, and it also symbolizes my own perseverance to serve my country in the best possible way I can.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES

In October 1960, Mrs. Mary Golightly (left) and Bonnie N. Williams, representing the Fauquier Business and Professional Women’s Club, presented a birthday cake to Mrs. Ella Pettit, 89, a resident of the District Nursing Home in Warrenton.

75 Years Ago June 1, 1944 Fauquier paused in its daily routine on Tuesday to pay tribute to its soldiers dead of four wars. The simple service began at the Fauquier Theatre, where townspeople, together with the uniformed organizations participating, filled the hall to sing a verse of “America,” led by Rev. Thomas MacLean. Rev. Paul D. Bowden followed, speaking about the meaning of Memorial Day. Marshall Hawkins, photographer for the Democrat and Eastern Breeder until he enlisted in the Sea Bees, has “…traveled a long way since I left Warrenton in November 1942,” according to a letter received from him this week. “We were in the New Hebrides up until March, and then moved right into Tojo’s back yard.” 50 Years Ago May 29, 1969 The county high school seniors, 264 strong, will be graduated Friday night in commencement ceremonies that for one school will be the last. Sixty-one prospective graduates of W. C. Taylor High School will assemble in their auditorium at 8:30 p.m. The school’s 16th graduating class is also its last. Opened in 1954, Taylor High will become a junior high school next September. Warrenton lost Town Manager Edward L. Brower on Friday when it was announced that he had resigned to take a

position at nearby Charted Industries. But by Monday the story had reversed, and Mayor Byrnal M. Haley announced Brower had reconsidered and would remain town executive. Lt. Col. David H. Rumbough of Warrenton, a member of the Defense Atomic Support Agency personnel staff, has won the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with palm for service in South Vietnam. 25 Years Ago June 1, 1994 The discovery of several dozen archeological sites on the site of the proposed Disney’s America theme park has given its foes, including newly formed Protect Historic America, more ammunition for their fight. The group includes David McCullough, writer of the critically acclaimed biography Truman, and Civil War historians Ken Burns and Shelby Foote. The school year may be slowly winding down, but Wakefield School will continue full speed ahead this summer in its efforts toward building a permanent site at Archwood Farm in The Plains. When Wakefield lost its site in Rappahannock County in August 1991, the Board of Supervisors granted a three-year special exception to operate from Marshall Manor until the school was able to move to a permanent facility. — Compiled by John T.

18th District counties need their own veterans’ service offices On Memorial Day, we remember the more than 640,000 men and women who have given their lives serving the United States since the first such commemoration in 1868. As Americans, we’ve always paid our respects to those who have died in defense of our great nation. However, the cost of war isn’t just measured in those we’ve lost. The cost of war is also seen in the aftermath. Our devotion as Americans ought to also be measured by the tangible ways we continue to care for our veterans long after their service. I’ve been meeting with veterans across the 18th House of Delegates district (which includes parts of Fauquier, Warren, Culpeper and ‪Rappahannock‬ counties) and it’s clear that there is a need for a Veterans Service Office (VSO) in each county. Today, our veterans are forced to navigate a complicated

federal and state system for medical claims, too often without the aid of a Veterans’ Service Office. There is no VSO anywhere in the 18th district and that must change. A common refrain I hear from veterans is that they learn more about the benefits they could receive in the waiting room than they do by interacting with the office Richmond has tasked with caring for them. Virginia has a proud history of supporting our veterans. It’s time we bring that support closer to home and ensure our veterans get care and service without undue bureaucratic delay. It’s time the counties of the 18th district had their own dedicated VSOs.

It has been my privilege over the course of a 40-year career to work with many federal, state and local law enforcement officers. Those relationships came about as a result of my serving as a front line federal prosecutor, and as the Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department’s number two official in charge of all its operations, including the FBI, DEA and all federal prosecutors. Finally, I served as Acting Attorney General under the late President George H. W. Bush. Those roles involved extensive one-to-one work with police chiefs, sheriffs, state police officials and other law enforcement leaders all over the country. Based on that experience, I can confidently share with you my view that we are lucky to have a consummate professional like Bob Mosier as sheriff in our county. I am not a retiree from the city, just looking for law and order. I am still working in the legal system and actively farming in the county as well. I know what it means to all of us to have a sheriff that knows how

to run a good department, one with great morale among the men and women who are looking out for our safety every day. Bob is doing that, and more. Our schools, where one of my daughters teaches every day, are safer on account of Bob’s initiative and the good work his people are doing every day to promote school safety. Our towns and rural areas are better off because Bob has tackled the terrible problems of addiction and drug trafficking head on. Driving on our roads is safer because Bob has taken the initiative to undertake sensible traffic enforcement. In short, our Sheriff is making the quality of life in our county better through his leadership and hard work. I am sure we have one of the best there is leading our county law enforcement efforts. I urge you to go out and vote for Bob to show our thanks for the job he is doing and our confidence in him and his great people going forward.

Like Jim Rankin, I have been a county resident for more than 40 years and I have had dealings with the sheriff’s department, for various needs, during these years. It is my personal experience that Sheriff Bob Mosier has been the best sheriff to deal with over these years because I have found that he cares about this county’s residents and all their needs coming under service from the sheriff’s department. Sheriff Mosier often has respond-

ed to me by phone and by handwritten letter with his follow-up, if needed, when I have contacted his department. This is comforting, and person-to-person service which I fully believe will continue. I recommend that we continue a steady leadership of the sheriff’s department by voting for Sheriff Bob Mosier on June 11.

In support of Eric Maybach for commissioner of revenue It is with great confidence and firsthand experience that I write in strong support of my former employee, Eric Maybach, for consideration to be your next commissioner of the revenue. I was honored to have Eric work for me as a regional manager at Gateway One Lending where he achieved national recognition for superior performance and leadership on multiple occasions. Eric managed six teams across five states along the East Coast, overseeing a monthly portfolio of $16.5 million, and $200 million annually. With Eric, success was not only predictable, it was a given. Eric remains one of the most outstanding employees I have ever had the privilege of working with under my direction. Courteous, prompt, approachable, leader — all are de-

scriptions that easily come to mind when speaking of my friend Eric. What truly stands out is my memory of Eric’s unwavering integrity, his enormous work drive and work ethic, unparalleled honesty and his keen ability to lead, listen and create a positive, profitable and sound work environment for his staff and our organization. Eric’s capacity to mentor and motivate others is second only to his passion and loyalty with any endeavor or challenge that comes his way. Without a doubt, the financial sector’s loss with be Fauquier County’s gain if you elect this fine young man and give him the opportunity to serve the county he loves.

Our Fauquier sheriff sets a very high standard for leadership in law enforcement. He has done an extraordinary job in meeting tough challenges with professionalism, compassion and respect for the rights of individual citizens and I urge our community to support him in his re-election June 11. Sheriff Bob Mosier has transformed the office in a time when it is critical to keep pace with the technology, tools and continued education required to do the job. The sheriff’s office is at the front lines of dealing with the opioid and mental health crisis as well as domestic violence and the increased presence of gangs. In each case, no sheriff has been a better legislative partner or been more engaged in the process to support good policies in Richmond. His constituent service has been extraordinary, and he has made his office open and accessible, with a focus on community engagement. I was born and raised in a small town and above all, I value his effort to cultivate a small town feeling of connectedness in the community. There is always pressure to run an office with the impersonal, big-citystyle of the larger population centers around us. Sheriff Mosier has made

it his mission to do otherwise and there is no better story than mine. Two years ago, my 5-year-old was worried about her Christmas list for Santa. We told her she could just write a letter and we would mail it. After she painstakingly completed her final draft, we dropped it at our tiny post office addressed to “Santa” at the “North Pole.” Incredibly, she received a response! It came through Sheriff Mosier who had actually been communicating with Santa at the North Pole about kids in his community. He had checked in with Santa through the local post offices just as a thoughtful gesture for those most excited about the season. Certainly, leading public safety in our county calls for a tough and steady hand. Our sheriff has that. But the extra kindness to communicate with the North Pole or deliver someone safely in a snow storm, as his office has done, are the things that distinguish his service as unique. Please show your appreciation for his special leadership and make it a priority to vote for Sheriff Bob Mosier on June 11.

Home rule should be fully implemented in the state of Virginia. Under home rule, a governing body would have more flexibility over its affairs. However, this flexibility is subject to restrictions imposed by: 1. U.S. Constitution 2. Virginia Constitution 3. Federal law 4. Virginia law How does one get “home rule?” First the state legislative body must pass enabling legislation of the state constitution must be amended to allow for home rule. Second, registered voters much decide if they want to create a home rule study commission. Third, the home rule study commission will make a comprehensive study of the existing government.

After a long study, the home rule study commission will decide whether it wants to: Write a home rule charter, or To keep things as they are. During the home rule writing process, public hearings would be held. At the hearings, citizens and groups would give their input. Fourth, the proposed home rule charter would be submitted to the voters for their yes or no vote. Fifth, if approved, the home rule charter would go into effect. Home rule has many advantages. I believe it is time for home rule in Virginia.

Mighty winds keep chill away from vulnerable grape buds on the vine By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Freezing temperatures can be a real killer when it comes to growing grapes. “I stay up at night when I know we’ll be having a frost event,” said Luke Kilyk, who co-owns Granite Heights Winery in Opal with his wife, Toni. Before the temperature reaches the freezing mark, one of them will be in the fields to start the two wind machines. The blades push warmer air that’s above ground down to the vines to prevent the buds from freezing and stunting growth. The wind machines – don’t call them windmills – aren’t cheap. They cost about $40,000 apiece, but Kilyk says they’re worth it. “I did a fair amount of homework. I stand behind their success. This is my second religion. I have to believe they work,” Kilyk said. There hasn’t been significant frost damage at Granite Heights since the wind machines were installed several years ago. They also dry raindrops off the grapes. A tank for each wind machine holds the propane that powers the 10-cyclinder generator for each machine. Timing is critical when it comes to starting the wind action. Wait until it’s 32 degrees – the level of freezing – to activate the machines and it’s too late to do any good, Kilyk explained. When started at the right time, the machines can maintain a stable temperature at vine level. Damage to the “green tissue” –

the leaves – occurs at 32 degrees Fahrentheit, the point of freezing. Even during minus-7-degree weather -- as happened during this past January -- there’s still a warmer layer of air above ground. The circulating breeze can bring up the temperature on the ground two to three degrees. The wind machines can help, but it’s not a guarantee that there won’t be frost damage. “It’s like wearing a life preserver. It can save you, but if you’re stuck in the ship it’s not going to save your life,” Kilyk said. “We do still have frost damage on occasion even now. It’s difficult to know how much more fruit we would have gotten” without the wind machines. When freezing temperatures are expected, Kilyk goes into the field to the two generators, unlocks them, connects a battery and flips a switch on each. The blades turn at 550 revolutions per minute – a movement that’s faster than the 400 to 500 RPMs of helicopter blades. The machines stand 28 feet high with 9-foot long blades. The warm air circulated will protect vines and grapes within a 5-acre diameter distance. The machines can’t do their job in a high wind and they shouldn’t be turned on during a rain; the droplets can chip the fiberglass blades. The two wind machines used at Granite Heights were made in Washington state. “They were originally developed because of the need for them in orchards,” Luke Kilyk explained. Wind machines are used in other Virginia vineyards as well. “Early

TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/JAMES IVANCIC Two wind machines standing in the vineyard are run when a temperature below freezing is expected. Their blades circulate warmer air above the ground to keep the vines from freezing. Mountain [Vineyard] in Madison has eagerly adopted them. Probably the largest is Barboursville [Vineyards] in Orange County,” Kilyk said.

Granite Heights

The Kilyks started making wine for themselves before expanding their production 10 years ago. The entire Granite Heights farm covers 168 acres -- 13 acres of grape vines, along with forest and hay-producing farmland. The couple lives in a house on the property and another building is used for winemaking. An original 1800s-era home on the property has a tasting room. Wine customers can sit inside or take their wine outside on the porch or lawn in good weather. A double gold award for the Granite Heights 2012 Lomax Reserve – a red wine – was presented by the American Wine Society last November. Granite Heights also won a gold award for its 2015 Cabernet Franc. The Kilyks’ wines have also won numerous gold awards in the Virginia Governor’s Cup wine competition.

The Kilyks have busy lives apart from the winemaking. Luke Kilyk is an intellectual property law attorney and his wife is a physician. Granite Heights Winery is at 8141 Opal Road. It’s open Friday through Sunday. Visit online at gh.wine. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Visitors to Granite Heights Winery in Opal have a view of a pond, the vineyard and one of the wind machines. The blades on wind machines rotate faster than helicopter blades.

Be the Change Foundation encourages women to create their own businesses By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Be the Change Foundation held its spring graduation ceremony Tuesday, May 21, at the PATH Foundation in Warrenton. Attended by family and friends as well as board and advisory council members, seven graduated from the 12-week course for women interested in starting their own businesses and/or building an existing one. “This has been an amazing group of women,” said founder and president of Be the Change, Marianne Clyde, as she welcomed the graduates and guests. The series, taught by local professionals in their respective fields, is focused on empowering, strengthening and inspiring women to seek the path of entrepreneurship. Classes are held at Lord Fairfax Community College; each session starts with a short talk from a local business owner sharing their story. Speakers like Lee Owsley at Latitudes, a fair-trade store on Main Street, Tim Dingus at Drum and Strum, and Michelle DeWitt at the Farm Brewery shared the ups and downs of owning a business, the challenges and the rewards.

Kettle Run boys earn district titles the hard way in soccer, baseball

COURTESY PHOTO After missing regionals last year, the two-time state champion Kettle Run boys soccer team is back in the region playoffs courtesy of a remarkable tourney run.

Schulte sets school goal-scoring mark in 4-2 win By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The Millbrook PA announcer was calling him Sh-Lute. Hearing his name mispronounced after goals isn’t a problem for Kris Schulte. Because he’s a volume scorer, Schulte gives announcers another chance to get it right next time. That was the case on May 23 as Schulte was the engine behind Kettle Run’s underdog run to the Northwestern District boys soccer championship. On a sunny, breezy afternoon in Winchester, the Cougars downed Millbrook 4-2 in the title game to complete one of the rarest of postseason runs, winning the tournament as the No. 5 seed after three amazing road upsets. John Hamilton got Kettle Run on the board in the 19th minute, and then Schulte produced a hat trick as Kettle

Run dominated a Pioneers team that had their number the last three years. After finishing the regular season with a sub-.500 record at 7-8-1, Kettle Run (10-8-1) is back in the region tournament and hosted Loudoun Valley in a Region 4C semifinal May 28 as the district tourney champs. “We had to win every game. We just bonded towards the end of the season,” said Schulte, whose squad downed No. 4 James Wood 1-0, No. 1 Sherando 2-1 (OT) and No. 3 Millbrook for the crown. Coach Phil Roper watched his team put together a complete performance in the biggest game of the year. The Cougars controlled the midfield, finished their chances, and clamped down on dangerous Pioneers Ricardo Palma Flores and Ronald Velasquez. Roper was confident they had it in them, even if regular season results were lackluster.

“Every game we’ve lost this year has been by one goal, except for the Fauquier game they scored with under a minute left to make it 3-1. I’ve been telling them, ‘We’re in every game.’ So we finally said, ‘Alright, what’s the difference?’ Maybe we’re not doing the little things,’ and we started doing the little things,” he said. “At James Wood we get one, we got another one at Sherando. All of a sudden we start to get that little vibe.” Another person who had the vibe was Schulte, who reached 32 goals to set a school single season mark, topping the 30 by Evan Szklennik in 2015. Another standout was Lucas Tabit, who also fueled the Cougars’ offense. “Our playmakers, our impact players made the difference today,” said Roper. In the 19th minute, Schulte helped the Cougars to a 1-0 lead by making a brilliant play along the end line. He held the ball, eluded a defender and

sent a pass across the goal mouth for John Hamilton to blast into an open slot near the far left post. “I think I beat two guys,” said Schulte. “I was waiting for (the defenders) to get off balance and play it across.” Schulte scored his first goal in the 36th minute by racing upfield to chase a deflected ball, then beating oncoming goalie Nate Hershberger and a defender with a timely foot poke to make it 2-0. Schulte made it 3-0 in the 46th minute when he found himself alone ahead of the defense. He held the ball as Hershberger came out, then slid it under him for a seemingly insurmountable lead with almost 35 minutes to go. The Pioneers mounted few threats until the closing moments.

The third-seeded Cougars (14-8) downed the host No. 1 Warriors in Stephens City thanks to Ewald, who struck out six and allowed five hits

and three walks over 5 2/3 innings. Kettle Run has a six-game winning streak after opening 8-8. They hosted Loudoun County Tuesday in the Class 4 Region C semifinals. Dispanet added the save by pitching a perfect 1 1/3 innings with one strikeout, while Joe Vogatsky was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and Ewald was 2-for-3 with a triple. Declan Downey was 1-for-2 with a run and walk.

THAT’S SMITH AS IN MYTH

Superb goalie play helps Kettle Run boys lacrosse win region title By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Cheers and hearty applause showered the field Thursday after the Kettle Run Cougars claimed the Class 4 Region B tournament championship with a convincing 18-6 victory over Fauquier’s boys lacrosse team. But it arguably wasn’t the biggest ovation of the night. Cougars fans lavished that on Peter Smith after his superb sequence late in the third quarter on Liberty High’s neutral field in Bealeton. The junior goalie made a close-quarters save with about 60 seconds remaining, but then he made a rare mistake. Smith tried to make a pass up the middle of the field to perhaps spark a quick transition to offense, but a Fauquier attackman intercepted the ball immediately, leaving Smith to face a one-on-one threat. The Fauquier player deployed a few rapid pump fakes before firing a pointblank shot at the Kettle Run goalie. Yet Smith reacted quickly enough to deflect the ball away. Another Fauquier player retrieved the rebound and flung it back toward the goal, but that shot sailed inches wide and the Cougars regained possession. So Smith escaped, the crowd erupted and the Cougars went on to win their

my Dooly, who led all players with seven goals Thursday. “He’s a monster.” Smith finished with 11 saves. “Most improved player from last year to this year,” Dooly said. “He went into the weight room, put on 50 pounds of muscle.” Opponents have averaged an anemic 3.8 goals per game this season against Smith and defense of the Cougars (142), who host Dominion Friday in the Class 4 state quarterfinals with Fauquier (11-4) pitted against Riverside. “They’re fast, they get to the ball, they stay in [close to offensive] players,” Falcons coach J.B. Tippett said. “They have good stick skills and they are able to just dominate to the ball. Then they can quickly transition out” to offense. Senior Sean Kennedy’s five forced turnovers led that Kettle Run defense alongside Nate Shaffer and Nick Lehman. Long-stick midfielder Connor Gladstone added two forced turnovers with midfielders Ashton Short, Ian Sekelsky and Jack Kroll filling in the defensive holes. “It’s just from playing together for the past three years, on top of middle school and elementary school,” Kennedy said. “It’s all of us just feeding off of each other. That’s really what’s been getting us going.” Against Kettle Run’s pressure, the Falcons committed 25 turnovers, creating an insurmountable 6-0 lead. The Cougars dominated after also beating the Falcons in the 2018 region final, 17-9. “It feels really good,” Dooly said. “All these graduating seniors are like my best friends, so it’s really nice to win it again with them.” The Cougars, who have a 12game winning streak, will lose eight seniors to graduation. “We went out on a bang,” Kennedy said. Those seniors have helped give

Kettle Run a 122-49 record in the program’s 11-year history with seven region berths. In fact, the Cougars entered last season with a 0-5 record in region tournament play, but they now stand at 6-5. During previous seasons, the Cougars earned region appearances by winning a district or conference championship, but the VHSL eliminated that format following the 2017 season, so they did not need to qualify for the 2018 and 2019 region playoffs. Regardless, Kettle Run is enjoying unprecedented region success. “It means a lot man,” Cougars coach Blake Smith said. “At times in the past we’ve had a team where some guys didn’t want to be here. Now guys want to be a part of what we’re trying to do.” So the Cougars have dominated Region 4B teams 177-18 cumulatively with Fauquier’s six goals Thursday as the most any region team has scored against them. Dooly outscored the Falcons himself with seven goals, adding three assists. “He’s just a fantastic player,” Tippett said. “Slippery, fast, moves his feet. He just never stops moving, and when you get that dynamic it just makes it difficult. He’s just a world class athlete.” In only three seasons, Dooly has 187 goals and 98 assists. So he’s approaching the program-record set by Richie Klares, who graduated in 2012 with more than 200 goals. “Normally I don’t really focus on the goal scoring,” Dooly said. “It just comes when you have a team behind you that can get you the ball.” Joey Shull had three assists Thursday with two each from Kroll and Tyler McAnany. Adding two goals each were Ian Sekelsky, Braedan Allen and Kroll, while Ashton Short had one goal and one assist. Ethan Jakum and Nathan Kim combined to win 15 of 27 faceoffs.

SNEAKING UP ON THE FIELD

Falcons boys take second, girls third in region track By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Midway through the second day of the Region 4C track championships, Fauquier track coach Quentin Jones was worried about his boys and girls squads. “I don’t look at all the points throughout the day, but I could hear the names,” Jones said of the awards being presented as each event finished. “I just thought we were getting hammered.” His fears proved to be overstated, however, because the Falcons boys placed second and the girls third in the 14-school field. Next up is the Class 4 state meet at Lynchburg this Friday and Saturday. Fauquier succumbed to Handley’s 64-17 margin in field events, giving the Judges a massive lead after the first day when all those events were held. Host Handley scored heavily across the 17-event boys spectrum to claim its 124-83 win over the Falcons. “There were places where we didn’t score points,” said Jones of field events. “On the boys side, I thought Sherando and James Wood were ahead of us as well.” Yet the Falcons still took second, edging district foes Sherando (80) and James Wood (79).

Fauquier took third with 78.5 points over Woodgrove 76. Sherando (50), James

Wood (41.5), Kettle Run (41), Millbrook (39), Loudoun County Loudoun County (30.5), Riverside (26), Heritage (18), Dominion (13), Liberty (12) and Park View (3) were next. “Those were hard-fought and wellearned places,” Jones said. “It was not an easy meet. I’m proud of the kids because a lot of teams have improved.” Falcon athletes captured seven gold medals, with Kettle Run and Liberty winning one event each. Fauquier’s Patrick Atwell won the 400-meter dash in 49.75 seconds.

He later joined Josh Moylan, Nick Matthews and John Paccassi for the 1,600-meter relay gold in 3:26.48. Atwell also was the long jump runner-up at 21 feet, three inches. Isaiah Brothers took the 300-meter intermediate hurdles in 40.23. Paccassi, Kyle St. Clair, Matthews and Austin Fernandez accounted for the fourth boys gold medal. Liberty sophomore Sam Rodman was the 800 winner in 1:56.68. In the girls division, Falcon Kayla Pavlock won the shot put on her final throw at 39-4. She was the discus silver medalist with a personal best 120-2. Kelsey Gastley won the 800 at 2:21.33. Earlier, she, Shelby Rosenberger, Ryan McDaniel-Neff and Aubrey Fer-andez were the 3,200 relay victors in 9:54.04. Adalia Coleman was Kettle Run’s gold medalist, taking the 200 in 25.83. Fauquier’s other silver medal winners were Moylan (400, 50.32) and the 1,600 relay quartet of Gastley, McDaniel-Neff, Fernandez and Camryn Bland (4:11.89). Liberty’s Kristeena Kenny was second in the 100 in 12.83. The top four individual place winners in each event and top four relay units advanced to the state Class 4 Friday and Saturday at Liberty University in Lynchburg. Atwell (400) and Fauquier’s boys 1,600 relay are the No. 1 seeds in their events. Pavlock is second in the shot and fourth for the discus.

‘ABSOLUTELY AN A-PLUS’

PHOTO BY ROSI GUYTON After upsetting James Wood to win the district tourney title, Fauquier (20-3) hosted Woodgrove Tuesday for a berth in the Class 4 state quarterfinals.

Fauquier softball stomps James Wood 8-0 in district championship By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Led by junior ace Ivy Rosenberry, No. 1 seed James Wood swept the two regular-season softball games against No. 3 Fauquier by limiting the normally potent Falcon offense to three runs combined. Falcon coaches felt many of those outs came from over-swinging against the hard-throwing Virginia Tech recruit. They suggested slower bat speed and better contact for Friday’s Northwestern District championship. It worked as the underdog Falcons established command with a fiverun first inning against Rosenberry.

They scored five times on six hits and won 8-0. “They went in with the mindset that they had to change from the last game…take a different approach,” coach Erika Lamper said, referring to a 4-1 loss in regular-season finale. “Absolutely an A plus,” said the firstyear coach on her team’s response. The championship earned Fauquier (20-3) a Tuesday (May 28) home game in the Region 4C semifinals against familiar foe Woodgrove (18-5), the Dulles District runner-up. “They are in a good mental state. They’re hungry,” coach Lamper said of regional play. Fauquier’s victory snapped an

eight-game win streak for the Colonels, who had pounded the opposition, 70-8, in that span. The winners outhit James Wood 11-2, with Falcon sophomore Meghan Harrington outdueling District Player of the Year Rosenberry. Harrington fanned seven Colonels, while Fauquier hitters struck out six times. Only two of those strikeouts came in the first five innings en route to a 7-0 lead. “Ivy is such a great pitcher, so when you have a team that comes out and just jumps on her. It can throw you off a little bit,” Lamper said. Fauquier’s Meredith Wayland singled to open the game, advancing to second on a ground out. She scored

on Callaway Lee’s single. Singles by Emily Turner and Harrington loaded the bases before Skye Corum’s well-executed bunt single scored Lee. Ashley Renzi walked to send Turner home, and Helena Lovell, running for Harrington, scored on Lauren Davis’ ground out. Payton Swart followed with Fauquier’s sixth single to plate Corum and a 5-0 lead. “Our girls knew what they had to do and got the job done. I’m very proud of them for that,” Lamper said. Harrington did not allow a hit through three innings, but James Wood loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth. See FALCONS, page 19

Maryland female captures Virginia Foxhound Club title

Hollberg wins $5K classic The popular Twilight Jumpers series returned to The Plains Friday night, May 24.

If she suffered stage fright at Sunday’s Virginia Foxhound Club show, Green Spring Valley Saphire kept it under wraps. The Maryland-based Crossbred hound showed with the confidence of a veteran at her first open competition, claiming the overall grand championship at the world’s largest foxhound show. More than 600 hounds from 37 packs competed in five rings at Leesburg’s Morven Park at the 72nd annual VFHC show. Saphire came to the championship from the Crossbred ring, winning the entered bitch class, then the overall Crossbred title before meeting, and beating, winners from the American, English and Penn-Marydel rings. Reserve went to Hillsboro Modest, an entered English bitch. In addition to taking top honors, Saphire won the junior handler class with young Samantha Michel, 7. “Saphire is lovely. You cannot fault her,” said Sheila Jackson Brown, GSV joint-master for 25 years. “Saphire won at our (private, intra-hunt competition), but this was her first open show. “It’s almost like she was born to it. She’s a natural in the ring.” In the Crossbred ring for hunts with more than 35 couple in kennels, Saphire was handled by GSV huntsman Ashley Hubbard, assisted by first-whip Tim Michel. Michel’s help probably kept Saphire on task. Michel was working at Georgia’s Midland Hounds four years ago when Midland Shilo had a litter sired by multiple-champion Midland Crusher. Saphire was the runt, so Michel brought the tiny puppy home for his family to care for until she could rejoin her littermates in kennels. “I can’t even begin to express how excited I am, and proud,” said Michel, giving daughter Samantha

Harrington muscled up to retire Hannah Davis on a called third strike before a ground out ended the inning. “I think our defense has been strong all year,” Lamper said. Fauquier had only one runner in the second through fourth frames. The attack re-energized with two runs after two outs in the top of the fifth. Harrington and Corum registered back-to-back singles. Renzi followed

with a hard, sinking line drive to right. The fielder tried to field it on a short hop, but the ball skipped past her to permit Lovell, running for the pitcher, and Corum to score and make it 7-0. Fauquier took an 8-0 lead in the seventh. Lee led off with a single and later scored on an error. James Wood had a single and a walk in its seventh before second baseman Emma Carter ran down a foul pop fly behind first base to ignite Fauquier’s celebration.

Millbrook then made it very interesting indeed on strikes by Ethan Perloff in 73rd minute and Hansbrough in the 78th to make it 3-2. Cue Schulte, who took a pass off the ensuing kickoff and scored almost instantly on a wicked 25-yard shot. “I was trying to remain a calm on the sideline,” said Roper about the dwindling lead. “If you remain calm, the guys on the field stay calm. It got

sketchy at 3-2 but I figured he had to be blowing the whistle soon. Of course it helps if you got a guy who goes down and scores right off the kickoff.” The result left Millbrook coach Keith Kilmer shaking his heading in admiration. “That’s Roper. That’s why he’s won a state title,” said Kilmer. “It’s an honor to play against them. I think they are the classiest program in this conference. We had won five in a row against them, but they took it to us today.”

Summer production filled with powerful messages Fauquier Community Youth Theatre presents ‘Shrek The Musical’ By Christie Clark

Special to the Fauquier Times

Make room for ogre-sized family fun as “Shrek, the Musical” comes to life for six performances beginning June 7. The show is presented by Fauquier Community Theatre’s Youth Theatre program at Vint Hill. Full of whimsical, fun, colorful and unexpected characters and imbued with a powerful musical score, “Shrek” teaches audiences that we are all different and special – and that we all have worth. This wonderful poignant message is woven throughout the plot and within every character portrayal. The hilarious story is based around a green ogre named Shrek and his sidekick, Donkey, whose swamp has been invaded by fairytale creatures who have been sent by Lord Farquaad, the leader of Duloc. Shrek is sent on a quest by Farquaad to retrieve Princess Fiona, who is trapped in a high tower protected by a fire-breathing dragon. Farquaad wants to marry Fiona so that he can become king. All actors and actresses in this

Jack Zatkowsky needs strong knees for his powerful role as Lord Farquaad. Julia Downes lends her lovely voice to the role of Fiona.

FCT Youth Theatre production are under 18. FCT presents a Youth Theatre production each summer. Shrek, played by Nicholas Villacorte, bursts onto the stage with a song in his heart. His powerful presence and great wit match the character’s size. He sings, moves and acts with heart and soul. Shrek’s sidekick, Donkey, played by Carter Williams, is a bright-eyed, motor-mouthed, sassy animal. Julia Downes gives fiesty Fiona an edge and smashes the role beautifully. She sings so faultlessly that it would be easy to forget she is so young. Watching this delightful character’s story unfold in front of you can’t help but put a smile on your face. Jack Zatkowsky’s knees get quite a workout playing the diminutive

Lord Farquaad. Portraying a pompous, power-hungry little villain, Jack’s Lord Farquaad is side-splittingly funny and he has the vocal chops to be in the spotlight for songs such as “What’s Up Duloc” and “Ballad of Farquaad.” Director Matt Moore and producer Mary Beth Balint have worked tirelessly and have assembled a perfect cast and an amazing production team to bring this story to life. The big ensemble numbers “Story of My Life,” “Freak Flag” and “I’m a Believer” are enhanced by Abby Chaumont’s delightful choreography. Katy Benko-Miner, musical director, brings a wealth of stage experience and musical talent that she shares with the whole cast. In this full-length multifaceted tale, nothing is as it seems.

fense mechanisms are broken down and twisted inside-out till the characters conquer their fears once and for all.

100+ Women Who Care donates to area nonprofits By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

The concept behind 100+ Women Who Care is simple: Assemble a group of women on a regular basis, ask them to come with a checkbook, choose a nonprofit and a donation is made. No administrative fees. No overhead, and the check goes directly to the chosen charity.

On May 9, a small group of women, some with their children, gathered at Denim and Pearls in Warrenton. There was lively and animated conversation as they discussed favorite nonprofits that they would like to nominate to support. Amelia Stansell, a vice president at Atlantic Union Bank, was there representing Just Ask Prevention,

which had been selected to receive that evening’s check for $750. Opening the meeting was Angela Harper, who last August assembled the first local chapter of 100+ Women Who Care, an international movement. The chapter here includes members from Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock. See CARE, page 22

Local women make a difference through community giving hearts and want to help in some way. Even a $25 donation can make a huge impact when it is given in a collective donation,” said Harper, who was happy to present Just Ask Prevention with that evening’s collected funds. “My hope is to grow our little group so that we can continue to make an immediate impact for our nonprofits,” said Harper. Her personal enthusiasm and passion resonates among the members who support the chapter’s mission of supporting local nonprofits through collective giving. TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/ANITA L. SHERMAN

Just Ask Prevention received a donation of $750 at the May meeting of 100+ Women Who Care. Just Ask Prevention, headquartered in Fauquier, is a nonprofit focused on educating and preventing human trafficking. From CARE, page 21 “There are no governing rules or legislature to follow. Each chapter can be run on its own,” said Harper. “There is a 100+ Who Care Alliance that provides ideas and support for leaders to grow their group and share things that have been successful. Our chapter is simply that, a chapter of the movement.” Harper has a background in human services and came across the idea of 100+ Women Who Care while reading the book “A Case for Kindness” by Lisa Barrickman. “I am always in search of ways to give back to our community, especially by spreading kindness. After doing some research, I decided that

our area needed its own chapter. There are chapters just to the north in the Gainesville area, as well as a Northern Virginia chapter. However, we did not have anything that specifically covered our community,” said Harper. The group started with eight members and now has 14 -- and it’s growing. Harper wants to make joining as easy as possible. She noted that while most other chapters have a $100 commitment, the chapter here has a $50 individual commitment/four times a year, or you can join as a team of two, each committing to $25 a meeting. “I want this group to be accessible to all members of our community.

The warrior as artist Photo by Chris McPhee

Jay Glaspy on bass performs with the band Schreiner. They will be part of Local Jam, a fundraiser for the Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance, featuring seven musical groups on June 2 from 1 to 6 p.m.

Gainesville musician forged under fire By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Conjure the traits of the fighting man: confident, strong, aggressive, disciplined, action-oriented and brave. Without these characteristics, a man of arms fails himself and his comrades. But might there also be an artistic side to those drawn to combat? Could it be central to their success as a warrior? Consider Jay Glaspy before drawing any premature conclusions between warfare and art, especially musical art. In his case, the machine gun and the bass guitar may well be linked, sparking success in both endeavors. Glaspy, 41, married with two children, is a five-year resident of Gainesville. “I’ve had an interest in music since I was 9 years old and taking guitar lessons. But I also was drawn to military service,” said the former Special Forces Green Beret. Glaspy’s West Coast youth centered on sports and music, with an emphasis more strongly linked to

athletics. When he graduated from high school, he was a valued member of his school’s football team, playing first team and all-league as a defensive back. He also had an interest in law enforcement and an encounter with a police officer deepened his interest. “He influenced me greatly. He looked out for me and gave me a lot of good advice. He was later killed in a motorcycle accident.” The advice and counseling led to a visit to an U.S. Army recruiting office, where a Green Beret officer spurred his decision to enlist and pursue a Special Forces career. “When I made the rank of E4 I was eligible to apply for the Green Berets. But there were a lot of respected soldiers I was serving with who tried out for it and didn’t make it. They came back limping and physically broken. “I said, ‘I know I can do this’ and in 1998 was selected to serve.” There are multiple disciplines in the Special Forces and Glaspy was trained as a medic, based on his high academic scores. Medics are also fighters in the Special Forces but with a prized combat skill.

Deployment

PHOTOS COURTESY OF JAY GLASPY

Glaspy’s (right) first deployment was to Ghana in the summer of 2001. He served five tours in Afghanistan.

His first deployment was to Ghana in the summer of 2001. Shortly afterward he was positioned to take up arms in Afghanistan after the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. Glaspy ended up serving five tours in Afghanistan seeing combat from his earliest days of deployment and experiencing the loss of more than a dozen of his band of brothers. During his extended tour of duty, he regularly practiced his bass guitar. “Especially in the winter when there wasn’t much fighting going on.” The most intense combat he expe-

rienced occurred in 2013. “I was in an eight-hour firefight with the Taliban. It was a very large force and the enemy had gotten progressively better over the years. “They were more violent and tactically better fighters. I had never seen the enemy fight so hard.” At one point an Afghan soldier was shot in the leg and his fellow Afghan panicked and left his machine gun exposed. “When you’re in battle you must have your most casualty-producing weapon in operation. I ran out and manned the machine gun and started shooting. I thought I was going to die. “I emptied 200 rounds, reloaded and then got behind cover.” It was a bone-chilling experience for which Glaspy was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for bravery. His certificate reads in part, “For exceptionally valorous actions while serving as operations sergeant. Glaspy distinguished himself by repeatedly exposing himself to enemy fire. His calm under fire directly inspired the men to resist persistent enemy contact.”

Glaspy and his family have called Gainesville home for five years. they did. After a couple of years of playing together, we formed the Schreiner band. Attending that church service was probably the most important thing that happened in my life.” Glaspy makes an insightful comparison between a high-caliber musician and a warrior. “Working with an elite musician like John I saw the same traits as being a member of the Special Forces. What makes both successful are a strong work ethic and a relentless pursuit in mastering their craft. “And it never ends. Always seeking to improve and get better is the goal in both disciplines,” he said. “I took those principles and applied them to my music. Like the military, you find a good teacher and put in the hours to become successful.” Today he pursues his musical career in concert with owning and operating Xen Live, an entertainment, production and event planning company. He holds a degree in psychology and is also as an audio engineer providing bands and DJs for a host of special events, especially weddings, through his company services. He is currently enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College See ARTIST, page 26

Next chapter

After achieving the rank of master sergeant and assuming control of his company’s entire training effort, Glaspy made the decision to leave the military. “I was in Seattle and I called my wife and said, ‘I’m done.’” As a civilian, he worked for a cybersecurity firm in Chantilly as project manager for a year. Then he met musician John Schreiner at the New Life Church in Gainesville shortly after moving there in 2014. “My wife and I attended our first service there during the Christmas season to meet people since we were new to the area. John was the worship leader at the time and he played in the church group,” said Glaspy. “After seeing the band play, I wondered if they needed a bass player and

A fanfare farewell Fauquier County Youth Orchestra bids goodbye and says hello

In 2013, a need was identified in Fauquier County for an after-school youth orchestra program. That was when music educator and violinist Diana Traietta founded the Fauquier County Youth Orchestra, which provides quality music education and performing experiences to students in the Fauquier County vicinity. In 2016, the organization received its nonprofit status. Traietta, who holds a bachelor’s degree in music education from Marywood University, created a vigorous orchestra program for approximately 60 students each year at Fauquier County Youth Orchestra. Over the years, Traietta volunteered her time as both executive director and as one of the instructors. The orchestra performs locally and participates in competitions -- including in New York. The program continues to expand. In addition to beginning, intermediate, and advanced orchestra students, there is also a jazz band. Just like in music, tempos change in life and Traietta has accepted a new position as director of sales and marketing at Excelcia Music Publishing in Lakeland, Florida. Her last day

with the orchestra will be Saturday, June 8, when it performs at the Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance, at 92 Main St. in Warrenton. The concert is another example of Traietta’s level of excellence in creating opportunities for the students. Grammy award-winning violinist Mark Wood will be performing, and the orchestra will join in for some of the musical pieces. The concert is from 7 to 9 p.m. and tickets are $10. For more information, contact Traietta at 540-717-9349 or info@ fauquieryouthorchestra.org. This will be the orchestra’s second year of working with Mark Wood. With much excitement, Traietta says, “Come join Mark and the members of the Fauquier County Youth Orchestra and Jazz band for an evening of your favorite classic rock music! The concert will feature Mr. Wood’s original material, as well as his arrangements of music by Led Zeppelin, The Beatles and others.” Tara Planeta has been named the new executive director of the orchestra and began May 1.

ARTIST, from page 23 seeking a degree in music technology and performance. With respect to playing in the Schreiner band, he said, “I am always going to have my own business. I do not want just one line of income. As a businessman, I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket.” And the link between the warrior and the artist is still strong. “To be a good shooter you have to shoot a lot and understand the principles of marksmanship. The same principle applies to music.” Understanding the basics and executing them are critical to both disciplines. “How you handle the bass strings, how you hit the notes, how much pressure is applied to the stings is similar to firing a weapon. “The proper trigger squeeze and proper plucking a bass string brings the best out of both gun and guitar. I approach my instrument the same way I approached learning to shoot. I know how to get the best out of both of them,” he said.

Convergent Data Center proposal goes forward Convergent Technology Park, a second data center for Remington Service District, is closer to approval by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. On May 16, the Fauquier County Planning Commission, by majority vote, recommended that the Convergent Technology Park be rezoned from residential to light industrial. The property land use designation change to a business park would permit the industrial development of a huge and comprehensive data center in the Lee’s Glen area, just outside the Town of Remington, bordered by James Madison Street (Route 1207) and James Madison Highway (Route 15/29) in the Lee District of southern Fauquier County. Concerns by the Town of Remington’s Council, especially Mayor Gerald Billingsley, were quieted by the acceptance of a water-related proffer (promised inducement) agreed to by the Convergent developers, relative to domestic water and fire flow needs, as well as a well site to be located on the property. Convergent agreed that any future water wells constructed on the data center property, would be developed

St. Luke’s holds monthly spaghetti dinner Friday I was remiss to not mention Memorial Day in last week’s column. Although Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, it means so much more to me. It’s the day that we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I am so thankful for their service and the freedom that we enjoy thanks to them. So, I belatedly salute them and appreciate all that they gave. The Bealeton adult writing group will be meeting on Wednesday, May 29, from 3 to 6 p.m. This group is for those who want to improve their writing skills and share

May has flown by, and the sweet flowers of June will be with us shortly. Our “porch garden” looks quite pretty; the hummingbirds are enjoying their goodies each day, especially the red geraniums. The Orlean Community Trail System annual Snipe Hunt and picnic were pleasant events last weekend. Several snipes (artificial, not real) were located on the trail ride and nature walk. What fun! Our thanks to the hosts (Spreiser Sporthorses and Jimmie Hitt) who graciously provided the trail events and picnic venues and to all who made the day special for

We must be really getting old since we remember well when they were born. Birthday wishes to William who got to celebrate with his parents. The Rev. Katherine (Kate) Bryant has accepted a call to serve the Episcopal Church of Leeds Parish beginning with the annual Shrinemont Retreat the weekend of June 8. She will conduct the first services at Leeds on Sunday, June 15. Rev. Kate is a graduate of the Yale School of Divinity and has served at St. James Church, Leesburg. She was ordained to the priesthood in 2006 and brings a wide variety of skills and experience to Leeds Church. We welcome Rev. Kate and her dog, Maggie, to the rectory across the street from the church and to our community. Our home had a lovely visitor, a beautiful German shepherd, Sophie, who has become great friends with our border collie. These two play, take naps together and generally have fun. The only problem is that Sophie is traumatized by Princess Elizabeth, our Siamese cat. During a recent visit, P.E. peeked around the hall door at Sophie and all you-know-what broke loose. The dog ran screaming down the hall, trying to see who or what was after her. Actually, nothing was; the cat was only looking! Needless to say, Sophie made a quick exit outside and then collapsed on the porch, exhausted!

Florence E. Mattingly Florence E. Mattingly, 85, of Warrenton, Virginia died peacefully at her home on May 20, 2019. Also known as Flo or Flossie, she was born to Daniel McKenzie Clifton and Flora Isabelle Clifton in Trenton, Nova Scotia, Canada on February 24, 1934. She arrived in the United States via Niagara Falls, on May 5,1950. She resided in Washington, DC where she graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School and went on to work in the Labour Attache’s office at the British Embassy for nearly five years. She was an avid bowler and described by her co-workers as “a keen dancer, a rock and roll admirer of Elvis Presley, and a devotee of Caribbean Calypso”. She enjoyed travel and while employed by Hertz Rental Car Agency seized opportunities to drive vehicles to and from Florida, she enjoyed these trips with her sisters and close friends, and fancied herself a party girl. She relocated to Los Angeles, CA in 1959 where she married and had two daughters. She was a devoted mother and sole provider following her divorce. She relocated to Virginia in 1969, where she lived with her sister Doreen, and family, in Arlington prior to settling in Annandale. She met the love of her life, William J. “Bill” Mattingly in 1972 at work. Flo moved to Warrenton in 1975 to create a blended family with Bill Mattingly in a home they purchased in Warrenton Lakes, the couple married in October of 1980. They remained together in the same home, where they raised their blended family and ultimately enjoyed retirement and the company of their grandchildren. Shortly before her passing, Flo announced that she was still a party girl and intended to stay that way. She is now with her predeceased family and friends where undoubtedly she is at peace. Flo was preceded in death by her parents and four siblings. She is survived by her husband, William J.

CEMETERY SYMBOLISM A cemetery is somewhat like an art museum in that many of the headstones it contains are artfully presented as pieces of granite sculpture. One of the most interesting elements of headstone design are the meaningful images carved into the stone. Among the most common of these symbols is an angel, which guards the tomb and represents a messenger between man and God. The dove, seen in both Jewish and Christian cemeteries, symbolizes resurrection, innocence, and peace. Its ascension denotes the transport of the departed’s soul to heaven. A dove lying dead symbolizes a life prematurely cut short. If the dove is holding an olive branch, it symbolizes that the soul has reached divine peace in heaven. A traditional funeral service is one of the most time-honored ways to pay tribute to a loved one. For hundreds of years, families have found solace in honoring their loved one’s passing through funeral services. To learn about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “The Dove, on silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.” ~James Montgomery
