‘Fight’ at Auburn Middle School prompts juvenile court action against student By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
What school officials claim was a “fight” between two students at Auburn Middle School on Friday, April 29 has led the sheriff’s office to pursue action in juvenile court against one of the students. Tara Helkowski, spokeswoman for Fauquier County Public Schools, said that because of the ongoing investigation and the fact that the students are juveniles, she could
not comment on the victim’s condition, the alleged assailant’s status at the school or whether specific safety procedures were being put in place as a result of the incident. Fauquier County Sheriff Jeremy Falls said that a petition for juvenile intake had been submitted against the alleged assailant. “It means that the accused will be served by juvenile services and a court date will be set,” he said Saturday.

Gertie Edwards, owner of Your Hat Lady, has been bringing fashionable hats to her Fauquier customers since 2009. Edwards was inspired by her mother, Sally Ann Caison, “My mother always made sure to wear a hat that suited her attire.” Her first rented space was with Anne Michelle Greene in Marshall. Today, Edwards and her hats can be found in Old Town Warrenton through June at 81B Main Street. Edwards runs her business wherever she finds space. “I grow where I am planted,” she says of sharing space in other businesses. Early this year when her customers asked her to come back, she began looking again. In March, she leased space from Crown Units, across Main Street from Latitudes. She will be there until mid-June, when she hopes to have found a new space to rent.
After a pared-down event last year, hundreds of Fauquier High School students gathered in the old gymnasium on campus Saturday night for the first full-fledged prom since 2019. After an afternoon filled with all the rituals — struggling with boutonnières, complying with Mom’s request for just one more photo in that rented suit — associated with the coming-of-age event, students let loose on the dance floor in a joyful celebration of youthful exuberance after two years of missed milestones amid the pandemic. A dance circle even formed in front of the DJ as students egged on their friends to show off their moves — and cheered wildly when they did. Other friend groups formed their own dance parties on the edges of the floor. Even a few chaperones couldn’t resist busting a move or two on the sidelines of the dance floor. Fauquier has traditionally held a popular after-prom event each year. This year, the school opted to go with a “senior celebration” at Falcon Field on May 13, complete with all the games, food and prizes typically on offer at after-prom.

Recreation center offers fresh start for recovering addicts By Liam Bowman
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
On a mild morning last month, a half dozen people gathered in a sunlit conference room on the grounds of Verdun Adventure Bound and settled in a circle of foldout chairs. They were a diverse group – some were teenagers, others had young children, one was a veteran. All of them, however, had struggled with substance use and had signed on to an experimental addiction treatment program at the Rixeyville recreation center. Over the previous five weeks, they had been guided through ropes courses, rock climbing, first aid training, counseling and a variety of self-care exercises – all with the idea that promoting healthy habits can help recovering addicts cope with everyday life while remaining sober. “I came here to be more active with people and keep my sobriety going … to build myself up and give myself more character,” said Caitlyn, a redhaired 29-year-old from King George. Seated next to her was Mike, a lanky 19-year-old who said he had been looking for a fresh start and hoped the program would give him “more focus.” (Out of privacy concerns, the Fauquier Times is only identifying participants by their first name.) Known as Project SOAR, the program is designed to help participants stay sober by encouraging physical and mental wellness, mentoring and coping mechanisms. For the newly sober, the first 90 days is a “crisis period,” said Sean McElhinney, Verdun’s executive director and program leader. “You’re navigating relationships, maybe going back to old activities,” and dealing with the stress of everyday life, all of which can drive someone to relapse. But with Project SOAR, McElhinney continued, “we can help them locate [a] hobby, help them create healthy habits and help arm them with the tools to live a healthy, sober life.” The program is free, but applicants are required to commit to the full eight-week course, during which time they must stay sober. For
the first few weeks, participants go through teambuilding exercises on Verdun’s rope courses to “solidify those relationships … and build trust between them so that they can start to really bond and get to know each other,” McElhinney said. Getting the group to bond is crucial, he said, because each individual will have a better chance at sobriety “if they’ve got a support system built around them.” The latter part of the course involves workshops in mental health, nutrition, art therapy, rock climbing and career development, among others. “We start introducing them to all these hobbies, coping mechanisms and strategies to build resilience that they can use in their personal lives,” McElhinney said. For this particular session, they would be spending the day exploring yoga and meditation as part of a “mindfulness workshop.” “Today, we’re just going to chill,” McElhinney announced to the group. As the Project SOAR participants set up a line of black yoga mats on the floor, Trisha Downing, a Culpeper yoga instructor, sat cross-legged at the front of the room. Downing explained that she would be guiding them through a variety of breathing, stretching and meditation techniques used to reduce anxiety. More than just substance use, she acknowledged, the people gathered in front of her had struggled with depression, trauma and social anxiety. But yoga “can help release some of that.” Over the next several hours, the participants were told to regulate their breathing and calm their minds with meditation. It was a novel experience for many of them. “This has probably been the most relaxing day we’ve had here,” said Randilee, who spoke softly through his salt-and-pepper beard. He had struggled with severe anxiety, he told the group, but had never tried yoga before. “I just feel personally not being all tight and tense in your everyday life might help. … I think yoga might help remove some of that stress.” See VERDUN, page 4

Recreation center offers fresh start for recovering addicts VERDUN, from page 3 Glenn Heath, a gray-haired veteran, sat to the side of the room and offered periodic words of encouragement. “It’s a good tool in your toolbox to just slow down and start breathing. … [it] has a way of cleaning the body,” he said. Himself a recovering addict, Heath was attached to Project SOAR as a “peer recovery specialist” through the S.E.E. Recovery Center, a Culpeper-based substance use recovery center that collaborates with Verdun on the program. He described his role within the program as something akin to a mentor, someone who can use their own experience to support another’s recovery from addiction. “We come here [and do] these exercises, and it’s just incredible … the improvement people show in just eight weeks,” said Heath. The key to the program’s success, he suggested, lies in “building a sense of solidarity” between individuals who may have been isolated by their own struggles. “There’s a stigma that once you’ve fallen into these divots in life, you never think you’re going to get out,” he said. But getting sober is far from impossible, he insisted with an almost ever-present grin, when people get the support they need. Throughout the day, several Project SOAR participants told the Fauquier Times that the experience had felt transformative. “At first, there was a lot going through my

head. … I didn’t know if it was for me,” said Cierra, who commutes from Gordonsville twice a week for the program. “I was a really bad alcoholic and got into trouble,” she said, and as part of her bail had to see a counselor with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, who recommended Project SOAR. But much to her surprise, Cierra found herself returning to Verdun week after week. “Every time, it was something different, something interesting,” she said. “I like doing all these challenges” and how they’ve tested her mentally and physically. “It feels good to do it all sober.” Since starting the program, she now meditates and prays to deal with anxiety, she’s done rock climbing for the first time –- something she said she’s always wanted to try –- and started fishing again, which she hadn’t done regularly since childhood. “I see there’s more to life than drinking, and I can do all these things and not have to drink” to enjoy myself, Cierra said. “That feeling of accomplishment when they push themselves seems to really stick,” McElhinney said of the program’s methodology. “We know we’re not going to turn everyone [who]
comes to SOAR into rock climbers, and that’s not our goal.” Rather, the hope is that they find some form of external fulfillment that doesn’t involve drugs or alcohol. The current group, McElhinney observed, “all seem enthusiastic and curious and open. They definitely aren’t hesitant at all, whereas in the beginning, I’d say there was definitely hesitation when we brought out something new.” Verdun has held three Project SOAR “rotations” since 2020, and McElhinney hopes to continue with a fourth this fall. When asked about his inspiration for the program, he recalled attending a conference on the opioid epidemic convened by the Virginia State Police. He was struck by the words of one officer, who admitted, “We can’t arrest our way out of this problem. We’ve tried. It’s not working.” The police “were basically asking: ‘How can the nonprofit world jump in and help fight this problem,’” according to McElhinney, “and that’s where we figured we could fit in.” For Heath, the peer recovery specialist, Verdun’s program offers a template for other treatment programs. The community, as he liked to put it, was “ripe” for the change. “We’ve got a revolving door of people going into the judicial system” due to mental illness and addiction, he said, and “anytime we can divert someone it saves the community a bundle of resources.” Programs like this “stop that before it starts.”
Hats off to Gertie Edwards, following her mother’s lead EDWARDS, from page 1 Your Hat Lady compliments Crown Units nicely. Crown Units provides synthetic and human hair products and carries a full line of wigs, hair extensions, beauty supplies and customized pieces for customers. Large derby-style hats are displayed in the front window along with wigs and other hair pieces. Smaller style hats of rich navy blue, red and black are also available. More hat towers can be found within the store in varying shades and styles. Your Hat Lady also sells fascinators -- light, decorative pieces with feathers, flowers or beads attached to a comb or hair clip. Edwards is an artist, and her medium is hats. She loves period hats like those seen on the series Downton Abbey, the roaring 1920s and even bonnets worn on the 1970s series “Little
House on the Prairie.” She’s made many pillbox hats, like the ones worn by Jacqueline Kennedy, and loves the hat styles of the 1950s and 60s. She follows British fascinator trends for inspiration. Some hats she makes and others she purchases and embellishes. Every hat is an original. For her photo shoot for this article, Edwards made sure that her hat complimented her attire. As it turned out, she was wearing black and white -- her mother’s favorite all-purpose colors. Edwards was one of 11 children; the fifth child and has four sisters and six brothers. “Of five girls, I am the only one who followed in our mother’s footsteps with her affinity for hats,” said Edwards. “My mother’s wardrobe was very important to her. Whether it was church on Sunday or any outing, she wanted us all to look good,” she said. Edwards was raised in nearby
Berryville. Her father worked in construction and her mother, with 11 children to raise, rarely worked outside of the house, but when she did, she did domestic work for other people. Your Hat Lady is a tribute to her mother. “My mother used to say, ‘Don’t wait for the situation to change, be happy with the situation you have.’ This helps me keep going. I adapt to whatever space I am in,” she said. Edwards’ mother not only inspired her love of hat fashion, but she also set an example on how to raise a family. “As a child, people would gather at our house every weekend. We had a yard full of friends and cousins, and my mother would feed them all,” she said. “She encouraged us all to cook and assigned us different nights to take care of dinner. She taught us how to be responsible.” Edwards and her husband, Sam-
uel, have been married for 55 years. They have two children, a son who lives in Florida and a daughter who lives here in Warrenton. The couple has four grandchildren, the eldest, Kechia, lives in Manassas. “Kechia is my right hand. She told me that too many ladies need me when I started looking for space in March.” Sally Ann Caison raised her children to treat people the way you would want to be treated. “If you do that, you won’t be alone or sad,” said Edwards. Edwards takes what her mother told her to heart and remembers it each time she adds feathers, flowers, trim or other embellishments to her customers’ hats. Like her mother’s home, Edwards welcomes people to come and visit with her. “I am here, growing, and I want to give hats to my customers.” Your Hat Lady may be found at 81B Main Street, Warrenton, through June 2022.

Kettle Run High School’s prom was held Saturday as well, at the Inn at Vint Hill. The party tent behind the venue was pretty well packed with dancing students, but a few chose to gather around the cozy fire next to the tent instead. KRHS was the only county high school to host an after-prom this year. In the moments before students began arriving at Kettle Run High School, The Wanted song “I’m glad you came,” came on the loudspeaker, but it was otherwise eerily quiet. The bull-riding machine, the climbing wall and the volunteers who were running them were ready to receive students, donuts and sandwiches were set out, and prizes – to be announced at 3:30 a.m. — were on display. Students began coming through the door at midnight and were welcomed until 1 a.m., when everyone who was coming was inside. The next wave of fun began, fueled by pizza and soda and the Carousel truck out front.

There is enough evidence, she ruled, to certify a felony rape charge against 22-year-old Parker Webb to a grand jury. If the grand jury indicts him on May 23, Webb’s case would then be adjudicated in Fauquier County Circuit Court. Webb has been held in custody since his arrest in January and faces at least 5 years in prison if convicted. Webb is accused of raping an unconscious 20-year-old woman at a house party in March 2021. That woman took the stand in Fauquier County General District Court and endured a vigorous cross-examination from Webb’s defense attorney, who pressed her on everything from what she was wearing at the time of the incident, to how much she ate and drank, to what she weighed. Even the defense attorney, Justin Daniel, agreed that the alleged victim was “very intoxicated” at the time of the incident and that sexual intercourse took place. But he argued that “there is no evidence that
Parker Webb she consented or didn’t consent” to the sexual encounter and that the alleged victim’s spotty memory of the hours leading to the incident meant that prosecutors could not prove that she did not consent to Webb’s actions. “There has to be some evidence that there wasn’t any consent given.” A forensic examination found scratches and vaginal tearing that the victim claimed could only be from what she described as a sexual assault. The alleged victim told police the day after the incident that she had been drinking that night, See GRAND JURY, page 9

Sgt. Aaron Vescovi, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, said that he could not provide detailed information because of privacy concerns. He said, “What I can say is administrative staff at Auburn Middle notified the student resource officer an incident took place between juveniles, which was investigated. Appropriate enforcement action will occur.” Master Deputy Matthew Cackowski is Auburn’s SRO. A video that claims to be of the alleged incident is circulating on social media, but school officials would not confirm that the video depicts the incident at Auburn. In the video, a student’s face is bloodied after being punched repeatedly; he collapses while walking away, just before the video ends. A letter was sent to Auburn parents by school officials on the day of the alleged assault. It said, “This message is being sent out as a result of recent events which have taken place here at Auburn Middle School. Unfortunately, such events have brought into question the safety of our students. School administration wanted to make sure that the greater school community had a better understanding of what safety measures are in place, and what additional measures will be added, to ensure the safety of all students. “In addition to current supervision assignments and coverage in-
volving school administration and staff, we will be adding additional layers to help with supervision and security. These layers are being added in order to increase the presence in the hallways, stairwells, classrooms, and locations before and after school. “The coverage/supervision plan which we currently have in place will be thoroughly reviewed and adjusted to assist with implementation. We will also be increasing staff to include an additional safety officer and administrator to help reinforce our safety and security measures. All changes to our supervision schedule and plan will remain in effect through the end of the school year. “We appreciate your ongoing support and understanding as we put forth these increased efforts to ensure that all students and staff feel safe here at AMS.” After reading the email, at least one parent who called the Fauquier Times thought that it meant that the schools would be adding a new SRO at Auburn, but Falls said that was not the case. “We don’t have an extra SRO to assign to Auburn, but we’ll be looking at what we can do to help,” Falls said. Helkowski clarified that that a new school security officer — employed by the school division, not the sheriff’s office — would be put in place at Auburn. She said that a retired administrator also would be brought in to bolster security.

Jail inmate who attempted suicide April 18 has died A Nokesville man who attempted to kill himself April 18 while in custody at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center died April 26, the sheriff’s office confirmed this morning. The sheriff’s office also announced that Virginia State Police is investigating the incident. Michael Hicks, 44, succumbed to his injuries after receiving hospital treatment for the April 18 suicide attempt. He had been at the jail for roughly 24 hours when he used the cord on a phone that was in his cell to try to hang himself, Lt. Col. Stephen Brubaker said in an email after the incident. Hicks had been arrested Sunday, April 17 on a charge of assault and battery against a family member, a class 1 misdemeanor. A magistrate subsequently ordered Hicks held without bond. The next morning, Hicks appeared for arraignment in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Judge Melissa Cupp held him in contempt for “misbehavior in court” for using foul language and sentenced him to 10 days in jail and a $100 fine for the offense.
At approximately 3 p.m. that afternoon, deputies at the jail found Hicks during a routine check and “immediately began life-saving measures while rescue units responded,” Brubaker said. Jail staff had last conducted a check on the cell approximately nine minutes earlier, he told the Fauquier Times. Deputies at the detention center are required to perform no fewer than four checks an hour on inmates, no more than 15 minutes apart. Fauquier County Sheriff Jeremy Falls said that checks are supposed to be done at irregular intervals so as not to establish predictable patterns. He said that jail staff had followed procedure. “Those checks were carried out as they should have been,” Falls said. “The deputies were on top of it. They took life-saving steps immediately.” Brubaker added, however, that “We are reviewing the incident internally and will make changes if necessary.” A spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office confirmed today that the agency “will be doing an internal review of policies and procedures.”
Accused of rape, 22-year-old will now face a grand jury GRAND JURY, from page 8 fell asleep on a couch on the main story of a New Baltimore residence and woke up to Webb raping her in his bedroom in the basement. She testified in detail to that story on the stand last week, sometimes having to repeat key details under different lines of questioning. She at times had to pause her testimony as she broke down in tears. In her closing argument, the prosecutor shot back at Daniel’s insinuation that there is some question as to whether the alleged victim consented to the encounter, asking rhetorically if all women need to carry around a sign that says that they cannot consent to sex if they are unconscious. “She couldn’t consent because she was unconscious,” said Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Abigail Owens, who is prosecuting the case. “She has no memory because she was asleep.” Daniel’s argument, Owens added, “flies in the face of reason.” The alleged victim acknowledged repeatedly that she did not have a complete memory of the evening of March 12, 2021, and the early hours of March 13. The woman testified that, after going out to dinner, she, Webb and several friends went to Webb’s parents’ residence in New Baltimore for a bonfire. Webb, she said, was a “friend.” Several in the group, including the alleged victim and Webb, drank heavily throughout the evening, she said — she drank to the point where she vomited. Under cross examination, the woman said that Webb did not make any physical advances that evening
outside of the alleged sexual assault — at least that she could remember. She testified, however, that Webb at one point suggested that she sleep in Webb’s bed. “I thought that was weird,” she testified, noting that she had told one of the others in the group about her concerns. Eventually, the woman fell asleep on a couch in the main living room area of the house, she testified. Webb and two others were also on the couch watching a movie. The next thing she remembered, the woman repeatedly testified Wednesday, is waking up in Webb’s bedroom as he was raping her. Webb’s attorney repeatedly focused on the woman’s testimony that said Webb stopped the encounter when she woke up and screamed for another friend who was at the house and then left the room. Daniel suggested that Webb may have thought that the encounter was consensual. “It stops immediately [when she woke up],” Daniel said, arguing that Webb’s actions after the woman became conscious suggest that Webb should not be prosecuted. “He doesn’t threaten her or prevent her from leaving. … He doesn’t do anything except for stepping back and allowing her to leave.” Although Webb has not been charged in any other crimes, prosecutors announced earlier this year that they had identified at least two additional victims whom Webb, a 2018 graduate of Kettle Run High School, allegedly sexually assaulted — one in 2017 and another in 2019.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This remarkable place we call home Before the ink was dry on the Warrenton Comprehensive Plan (Warrenton 2040), the Warrenton Town Council and Warrenton Planning Commission were already approving significant amendments to it. The glorious “New Town Character District” (described as “a highly desirable location for a potential signature office/jobs center … characterized by mixed-use with strong live, work, and play options”) was already reduced by more than a third to make way for an Amazon Web Services data center that, if approved by the town council, would add a few handfuls of jobs and an unquenchable thirst for electricity. (Fauquier Times, September 29, 2021). According to the fiscal impact model that drove Warrenton 2040 Plan, the town would be able to afford its fiscal responsibilities through organic growth. Yet, we know now the town council had already initiated open- and closed-door sessions to discuss potential boundary line adjustments to rustle 2,500 acres of taxable property into the town’s coffers (Fauquier Times, January 12, 2022). The data center and a 60% expansion of Warrenton’s footprint may offer tempting tax income for the town, but why was it not discussed during the comp plan process, and why hasn’t it been discussed with potentially impacted homeowners and businesses? Now the other shoe dropped, as
Dominion Power last month began discussions with the county board of supervisors on how they propose to feed the Amazon data center’s appetite for power (Fauquier Times, April 15, 2022). While Dominion blanketed the area with useless “save the date” postcards and what I believe is disingenuous Blackwell Road Website, they presented the supervisors with alignment “options” that I believe will pit potentially impacted neighborhoods against one another. Still, a Dominion spokesman did make clear the aboveground option encircling Warrenton with typically 110- to 120-foot towers was favored and that more infrastructure could be needed if additional commercial facilities were built. Barely one year into Warrenton 2040, we see what the real “special interests” are. The pro-growth strategy can’t pay for itself. It requires Loudounlike concessions for data centers and Dominion Energy and relies on a massive and opaque boundary line adjustment. Unchecked, I believe this strategy will result in new streets, power lines and parkways slicing through our communities. It will indeed cause continuing surges in taxes for water and sewer upgrades, further losses in affordable housing and fewer of the things we enjoy most about this remarkable place we call home.

Gilmore’s homer, impeccable defense lead Falcons over James Wood 10-0 Now 6-2, Fauquier is tied with Liberty for first place By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
There was a different vibe entering last Thursday’s important Northwestern District softball rematch between James Wood and host Fauquier. Second place would belong to the winner – with the encounter projected to be tight after Fauquier’s earlier nail-biting 11-10 win over the Colonels in Winchester. Despite the standings, the Falcon players were instructed to enjoy themselves, Fauquier coach Erika Lamper said. “There has been a lot happening in the softball community,” said Lamper, alluding to last week’s suicide by James Madison University catcher Lauren Bernett that rocked the national softball scene. “Obviously, it’s a big game,” Lamper agreed, like almost each district contest in a topsy-turvy season. “But, I think our mentally was just to have fun and play the game,” Lamper said. The Falcons came through with a solid effort and dispatched the Colonels, 10-0, in a six-inning mercy rule decision. “I think they were just happy to be able to play the game they love and not place so much pressure on themselves,” said the pleased Lamper, whose girls posted a 22-3 win at Handley on Monday. At 6-2, the Falcons are now tied for first with Liberty (6-2), which absorbed their second league defeat last week, losing to Millbrook 7-4. James Wood sits in third at 5-3. Fauquier scored a run against James Wood in the first when Mikayla Gilmore led off with a bunt single, moving to second on a wild pitch. Payton Swart followed with a single to left field, but
Gilmore was thrown out at the plate attempting to score. LIBERTY 6-2 Swart advanced to FAUQUIER 6-2 second on the throw James Wood 5-3 home. Sherando 4-3 Following an out, Millbrook 5-4 Meredith Wayland KETTLE RUN 3-6 lifted a fly ball into Handley 0-9 right field, causing the fielder to turn and retreat several steps. The ball hit solidly in her glove but dropped to the ground for a twobase error with Swart scoring. Fauquier struck again in the third inning with a spectacular bunt sequence. Swart singled with one out, then stole second base. Katie Harrington laid down a sacrifice bunt, with Swart roaring around third and scoring after the out was made at first to make it 2-0. The lead grew to 6-0 in the fourth. Helena Lovell opened with a single and Skye Corum was safe when a hard hit grounder bounced off the shortstop’s chest for an error. Sofia Mesick entered as the courtesy runner for Corum. Both runners advanced on a passed ball before Emily Pentazer’s sacrifice fly to center plated Lovell. Mesick reached third when the pitcher mishandled the throw to the infield. Izzy Evans walked before Erin Irvin laid down a bunt. Mesick was tagged out in a rundown situation, with Evans reaching third and Irvin second. Evans scored to set the table for Gilmore, who slammed the first pitch over the right field fence for a two-run homer and a 6-0 Falcon advantage. James Wood mounted a fifth-inning threat when the leadoff batter singled ahead of a walk. Following an out, Colonel Isabella McKee lifted a popup into foul territory behind first base. Gilmore sprinted from her second baseman slot to catch the ball at the fence, then wheeled and

Haley Saulsbury and Irvin also scored in the 10-0 final. Lamper also pointed to Corum’s strong effort in the circle as another important factor. “Skye’s pitching was on fire,” the smiling coach said after the senior scattered four hits.

Dual Eclipse Award-winning photographer Douglas Lees says the Great Meadow water splash is the most unique obstacle on the American steeplechase circuit. It’s one of his favorites to shoot, too, but it takes some physical fitness to pull off photographing his three favored fences in the steeplethon cross-country race. “I like to shoot the ditch at the south rail,” jump 5, Lees explains, “then I have to run like hell to get in position at the water splash.” He takes his place among a dozen other professional horse sports photographers at the north end of the specially constructed lake to capture the action as horses splash through. Then, Lees says he takes off again to get to the finish line – he has less than a minute to get there. “I’m 72, you know,” says the Warrenton native. “I don’t move as fast as I used to, but I can get to those three jumps” for a wide perspective of the trademark jumping test.

Tour de course
Steeplethon race is unique part of Gold Cup race day Steeplechasing is all about the horsepower – speed and jumping combining for fast action, start to finish. But some tests ask more than others. Hurdle racing is pure speed. Hurdlers jump little more than an elevated stride, lifting their knees much like a human hurdler to not-quite-clear the brush-topped four-foot simulated hedges – called “national fences” in American steeplechasing. They’re meant to be jumped on the gallop with just a slight balance check, sort of a half-halt on the run, on the approach. Timber racing, on the other hand, demands more of a horse – longer races (three to four miles, compared to two to three for hurdles) call for stamina, and solid jumps require scope and balance. Great Meadow’s unique steeplethon course merges the two, an American original that marries all the elements of ’chasing into one spectacle. Saturday’s three-mile steeplethon, worth $30,000, twists and turns around the expansive Meadow infield and outfield, crossing Gold Cup timber and regulation hurdles as well as unique, custom-designed obstacles that are pure Virginia. From an imposing old-fashioned stone wall built of locally quarried rocks, to the Swan Lake splash – amusement park water flume for the steeplechase set, the specialty division innovates sport. And this year’s steeplethon takes on special meaning: the race is being run in honor of D.M. “Speedy” Smithwick Jr., a lifelong member of the Virginia steeplechase community who died April 23. “The steeplethon race at this year’s Gold Cup will
Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | May 4, 2022
be dedicated to the memory of Speedy Smithwick,” said race co-director and National Steeplechase Association president Al Griffin. “It is only fitting, as Speedy literally ‘did it all’ in his racing career. “He will be so missed by so many people in the racing community.” The then-new steeplethon division was conceived in the early 1990s by Great Meadow creator Nick Arundel. A horsemen’s horseman, Arundel circled the globe – Auteuil in Paris, Cheltenham in the English Midlands, the great Pardubice racecourse in the former Czechoslovakia – gathering ideas for a true test of the jump racing horse from each. “We built every fence out there ourselves,” said course manager Bobby Hilton, who’s run Great Meadow since its conception in 1984. “Totally to spec. Mr. Arundel came at us with stacks of drawings. Every fence was custom-built.” The Alfred Hunt course at Middleburg’s Glenwood Park is similar, with varied fences and a winding course. Though the two courses are slightly different – Glenwood is considered more of a “hurdle horse” course, Great Meadow more “timber,” but often the same horse wins both races, two weeks apart in mid-April and early May. Both course designers were going for the wow moment, Arundel said at the time, creating a unique photo op at almost every fence, at the
same time devising a new division for older, experienced veteran ’chasers. The Great Meadow course turns right and left, twisting around the timber and hurdle courses, adding a longer loop out the south side of the course towards the Fleming Farm eventing facility. Jumps range from a red-painted plank at 1, a coop, an enormous oak log harvested from the property and two brush-and-ditch jumps. There’s a pair of tall privet hedges and a bank – a small rail jump on the “up” and a 3-foot drop on the “down.” The course includes a handful of Gold Cup timber jumps and several national fence hurdles. But the most popular obstacle on the steeplethon course is not a jump at all: the Swan Lake splash is a 100-yard dash through a 2-foot deep pond, with specially designed footing in, through and out so horses don’t flounder. Water goes everywhere, say riders, and the crowd loves it as horses splash through as they cross the infield. “It’s a natural,” Arundel said not long before his death in 2011. “The steeplechase game needs this, something to extend the careers of hurdle and timber horses who’ve ‘lost a step’ and something the crowd loves. “And I know it, the Great Meadow crowd loves it.”
The unique steeplethon race crosses timber, hurdles, living brush, a stone wall, a bank jump - pictured here, and the Swan Lake splash, shown on the cover.

He loves the Great Meadow racecourse, trainer Leslie Young says of French-bred Andi’amu. The white-faced bright bay sparkled over the testing track to win the 2019 Virginia Gold Cup wire-towire, and just missed - second - in the 2019 International Gold Cup (3 ½ miles over the same course.) And, she notes, he was “one mistake away” from a second Virginia cup score when rider Tom Garner was lured off course by another Gold Cup runner in 2020. “He set up perfect for that race,” Young says. “I’m thinking he would have been right there at the finish” but for pilot error. Andi’amu was away from the races nearly 22 months in 2020 and 2021 for a leg injury and COVID, but he came back two weeks ago with a heartening and competitive second in the Middleburg Hunt Cup as a Gold Cup warmup. “I liked what we saw at Glenwood,” Young says, stressing that older horses – Andi’amu is 12 – sometimes don’t come back to form after a layoff, but that she feels confident in how he handled the down time.

Shootist makes his first try over the solid sloped rails at Great Meadow, but trainer Todd McKenna says his “warm-up run” at Grand National on April 23 was a legitimate practice. The dark bay son of Smart Strike wired the field in the 3 ¼ mile allowance at the Butler, Maryland course, a comparable jumping test, says the trainer. Harry Beswick has the ride for McKenna and owner Upland Partners. First Friday carries the hopes of his locally connected team. Trained by Doug Fout of The Plains for the Four Virginia Gents syndicate and ridden by Virginia-based Irish pro Barry Foley, the 8-year-old son of Artie Schiller has never started at Great Meadow but comes at the classic on the upswing. First Friday was third behind Storm Team and Andi’amu in the April 23 Middleburg Hunt Cup and third in a competitive allowance timber at Pennsylvania Hunt Cup in November.

Three up in the 4-mile classic, with two formful es to cheer over the championship course. adding Leipers Fork Steeplechase’s Irish-bred Tomgarrow along with stablemate Andi’amu in the featured Gold Cup. Tomgarrow won the last timber stake run over the Great Meadow timber – the Oct. 23 International Gold Cup, and returns with strong 2022 form, having wired the field in the April 16 My Lady’s Manor timber stake. Tomgarrow relishes the 4 miles, too, Young says, having finished just behind 2021 Virginia cup winner Schoodic with a huge late run. Tom Garner has the ride. Trainer Jack Fisher won’t opine on whether Storm Team would have won the 2020 Virginia Gold Cup or the October, 2021 International Gold Cup if his jockeys hadn’t - impossibly - flubbed the course both times. “Who knows,” is his famously flippant answer when asked about the painful memories. But what Fisher will allow is a small smile about Storm Team’s 2022 form after a facile victory in the April 23 Middleburg Hunt Cup. Never headed, the 8-year-old son of Candy Ride was 9 lengths clear at the wire, and rider Graham Watters calls him “ready

to go” and ready for his return to Great Meadow after the easy effort. Storm Team runs in the red and white silks of Fisher’s wife, Sheila and partner Northwoods Stable. Watters has the mount. To call Dolly Fisher’s Schoodic a course specialist isn’t a stretch – the bay, 12-year-old son of Tiznow keeps getting better and better, according to his Hall of Fame trainer and dozen-time Gold Cup winner (as rider as well as trainer) Jack Fisher. Schoodic ran off with the 2021 Virginia Gold Cup, 5-plus lengths clear of his rivals last May, and he’d previously won the 2019 International Gold Cup over the same course. He finished third, behind Saturday rival Tomgarrow in the April 16 My Lady’s Manor stake, but Fisher figures he’ll improve off that effort, his first out since just beat in the Genesee Valley Hunt Cup last October. Amateur rider Connor Hankin has the mount. Irish-bred Flaming Sword was third in Schoodic’s Virginia Gold Cup last May. He was a well-beaten fifth in the allowance at the April 16 My Lady’s Manor meet. Flaming Sword runs in the pink silks with red hearts of Joy Slater’s Fat Chance Farm.

etting on Saturday’s Gold Cup races turns the spectator into an active participant. By studying the form ahead of time and learning to hone your eye to some hallmark characteristics of a horse that is “ready to win,” you can actually turn a profit on the day. Past performance information on each race entry is included in the program. It’s in tiny type – bring your glasses -- and it initially may look like a foreign language. But once you get the hang of it, it’s actually pretty easy to make out who should win. Your first, and best, tip is the “morning line.” This is the starting place for the horse’s odds, and the morning line is set by a steeplechase industry insider who knows the relative merit of each entry. Another easy way to “compare” horses is to gauge their career earnings relative to one another. Typically, a horse with higher earnings has run more often, with better results. On the other hand, in maiden races, just take a look at the horses in person, either in the saddling enclosure or as they warm up on the way to the starting point. Maiden races are for horses that have never won a race of the type they’re in, so past performance may be spotty.
Types of wagers
You can bet on the Gold Cup races online on an account wagering site, or with a live teller at a kiosk in the spectator areas.
Railside party tents line the North Rail, with a Jumbotron running updated odds and live video of race day.
Types of wagers include: • Win: The most simple, easiest to understand wager, and the odds show you exactly what you’ll get. Your horse finishes in front, you win. (Basically, take the number you see – 2 to 1, for instance, and multiply it by 2, since $2 is the minimum bet you can make.) • Place: If you bet on a horse to “place” – finish second, the wager pays if he finishes second, of course, but it also pays if he finishes first. It pays a bit less than the win, using a complicated mathematic formula. • Show: You bet on the horse to “show” – finish third, but this one pays if the horse finishes first, second or third. A winning show bet pays less than
the odds show, but usually yields a profit on your wager, and, to a certain extent, hedges your bet. Once you’ve mastered the simple win-placeshow wagering, try your hand at so-called exotic wagering. The easiest is the Exacta, in which you select two horses to finish first and second, in that exact order. You can “box” your wager – bet twice, paying if the horses finish one-two or two-one, or you can box a particular choice with several others. Each bet costs $2, but payoffs can be handsome if you have an insider tip or a hunch. The Trifecta is harder – you choose three horses to finish one-two-three. Like the exacta, you can box your wagers, and include several selections within your wager.

Gold rush
The intriguing history of the Gold Cup’s trophies
W
inning Saturday’s Virginia Gold Cup timber classic is worth a hefty cash prize – $60,000 – in the pocket of the victor, but possession of the golden trophy (for a year) is pretty priceless. It used to take just three wins to take permanent ownership of the prize. Today you need five wins to keep the challenge cup. Trace this history of those who’ve retired a cup trophy.
1st
Trophy purchased in 1922 by the race founders for $1,000. Retired by – Katherine Hitt (1922, 1923, 1925) The trophy was given back to the Gold Cup as a perpetual trophy (can never be retired). Trace this history of those who’ve retired a cup trophy.
2nd
Trophy made in England in 1802. Purchased in 1926 by Robert Winmill and donated to the Gold Cup. Retired by – Mary Pingree (1930, 1933, 1934).
3rd
Trophy purchased and donated by Mary Pingree. Retired by – Mrs. Frank Gould (1937, 1938, 1940)
4th
Trophy crafted by a Moscow silversmith in 1795. Retired by – Christopher Greer Jr. (1941, 1946, 1953)
5th
Trophy made of gold nuggets from the 1849 California gold rush. Found in a London pawn shop in the late 1940s, later purchased by the Gold Cup Association. Retired by – Zeke Ferguson (1965, 1966, 1967)
6th
Trophy, gold-plated silver cup made in 1796 England. Retired by – Dr. Joseph Rogers (1972, 1982, 1984)
7th

8th
Trophy was a simple six-sided golden vase. Retired by – Irv Naylor (2002, 2007, 2009, 2016, 2017)
Current challenge trophy
A gold loving cup donated by Warrenton’s Celeste Vella.
Irv Naylor retired the Gold Cup in 2017 With Ebanour’s impressive victory in the 2017 Virginia Gold Cup, owner Irv Naylor enters an exclusive fraternity. Just eight owners have “retired” the Gold Cup since its start in 1922. Five Gold Cups were retired from 1922-1984. Katherine Hitt won three of the first four runnings with three different horses 1922-’25, and Mary Pingree won three years in a row, 1934-’36, with two horses. Mrs. Frank Gould won in ‘37, ‘38 and ‘40, with two horses, and C.M. Greer Jr. spread three wins across two decades – 1941, ‘46 and ‘53, with three horses. Zeke Ferguson’s Virginia-bred Leeds Don was first to win three straight, 1965-’67, and Joe Rogers won with three different horses across two decades in 1972, ‘83 and ‘84, the last time the race was run at Broadview. When the race moved to Great Meadow near The Plains for the 1985 race, organizers upped the ante, requiring an owner to win the race five times to retire the trophy. Ann Stern’s Virginia-bred Saluter did that, and more, winning five in a row, 1994-1998, and adding a sixth in 1999. Naylor put his first claim on the Cup in 2002 when he won with Make Me A Champ. He won in 2007 and ‘09 with Casanova-

Longtime leading owner on the National Steeplechase Association circuit, Irv Naylor is no stranger to retiring trophies: he’s already retired the Maryland Grand National trophy and the Iroquois challenge cup. He has two, of three, legs on the Maryland Hunt Cup. Among this year’s entries, two owners have “one leg” on the current trophy: Tom Collins owns 2019 race winner Andi’amu, and Dolly Fisher owns 2021 winner Schoodic. The two rivals face five challengers Saturday.

Remembering ‘Speedy’ Smithwick Lifelong Virginia horseman Speedy Smithwick died April 23. The steeplethon cross-country ’chase at the Virginia Gold Cup meet is being run in his honor. He was born on October 27, 1959 to two Hall of Fame horse trainers, Dorothy Fred Smithwick and D.M. “Mikey” Smithwick. Smithwick became one of the nation’s top amateur steeplechase jockeys with wins that included the 1984 Virginia Gold Cup, 1985 Pennsylvania Hunt Cup and three runnings of the Iroquois. He married trainer and former steeplechase jockey Eva Dahlgren in 1988, and together they trained horses both from Smithwick’s fami-
ly farm, Sunny Bank in Middleburg, and in Kentucky, California and New York. They moved back to Sunny Bank following the death of Dorothy Smithwick in 2011. Smithwick is survived by his wife, daughters, Kathy Smithwick Swain and Patricia Smithwick, granddaughter, Dorothy Adelaide Swain and brother, Roger Smithwick. A memorial service will be held at Trinity in Upperville on Monday, May 16 at 11 a.m. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation and Backside Learning Center at Churchill Downs.

FAST TIMES AT FALCON FIELD
LHS, KR, FHS athletes excel at Falcon Track Classic By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
County athletes combined to win eight events Friday in the 12th annual Falcon Track Classic. Fauquier notched four gold medals, Liberty three and Kettle Run one. Falcons Katey Bern, Julia Crowther, Abby Gray and Cassidy Scott combined to win the meet-ending 1,600-meter relay in four minutes, 13.66 seconds. Scott also won the 800 meters in 2:13.55. The girls discus title went to Madison Bayliff at 104 feet, four inches, with Stepanie Clark taking the shot put with a throw of 32-7.25. Liberty’s winners included the boys 3,200-meter relay foursome of Aidan Neidich, Peter Rummel, Gabe Sealock and Cole Hoffman in 8:16.01. Eagle Kayla Lopez won the 1,600 meters in 5:42.02, while Isabelle Cavins continued her invitational meet successes with her victory in the 100 (12.66). Colleen Schaner cleared 11-3 for a new meet record in the pole vault to win the event.
Class 5 Stone Bridge claimed the girls championship in the 12-school field with 119 points to 107.5 for the runner-up Fauquier squad. Loudoun Valley (85,5), Dominion (51.5), Rock Ridge (51), Kettle Run (46.5), Warren County (42), Liberty (36.5), Loudoun County (25), Eastern View (20), William Monroe (4.5) followed. Loudoun County was an easy winner of out the 14 boys teams with 146.33 points to 85 for Fork Union and 83 for Fauquier. Other entries were Loudoun Valley (69.5), Dominion (53), Stone Bridge (39.33), Warren County (34.5), Eastern View (335), Rock Ridge (31.5), Osbourn (29), Liberty (21.33), William Monroe (12), Handley (12) and Kettle Run (4). “I thought we did a little bit better than I expected on both sides” said FHS coach and meet director Quentin Jones, who noted some athletes were missing. Fauquier added five silver medals and five bronze to go with seven fourth-place “I was proud of our entire group,” Jones added. Placing second for the Falcon boys
‘SMILES ON THE FACES OF MY GIRLS’ Barkovic’s OT goal gives Fauquier 11-10 girls lacrosse win over Liberty By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Seesaw, yo-yo or roller coaster. Whatever the analogy, Friday’s girls lacrosse meeting between Fauquier and host Liberty was a back-and-forth affair. Both squads entered searching for its first Region B victory of the spring. At times, each appeared poised to win only to see its foe make another run. There were five ties and four lead changes, so overtime seemed fitting. Fauquier sophomore Lana Barkovic scored 36 seconds into sudden-victory overtime to hand the visitors an 11-10 decision. The win raised Fauquier’s league mark to 1-3 overall, while Liberty fell to 0-4. “Watching Lana’s shot go in... was such a relief. I could actually start breathing again,” said Fauquier coach Ken McInnis.” It was wonderful to see the smiles on the faces of my girls.” Barkovic also was key in the Falcons reaching overtime, as she tallied a goal with 32 seconds remaining in regulation time to erase a 10-9 Liberty lead. “The game seemed to be a ‘must win’ for both programs. You could tell all of the girls from both teams

Eva Del Gallo and the Falcons worked hard against Liberty last week. really wanted [a win] and played their hearts out,” said McInnis. For Liberty coach Amy Lacey, “The underlying theme throughout the game was possession. I feel that’s what kept both teams in the game because possession was about 50/50.” Falcon Ryleigh Polster scored twice in the first three minutes before Liberty’s Lauryn Fling and Fauquier’s Eva Del Gallo swapped goals to leave Fauquier with a 3-1 lead after nearly 11 minutes.

OH SO CLOSE
late in the second OT. The goalie made the stop, but the ball caromed free for seconds as the Cougars tried to get a foot on the bouncing sphere. They came up inches shy of making sufficient contact. The Cougars (6-2-2), who tied Handley 2-2 earlier this season, sit in
third place behind James Woos (9-0) and Handley (8-1-1). “We had our chances but did not capitalize on them,” said Kettle Run coach William Brummett. “You’ve just to put it on the frame. That’s something we need to work on.” He then discussed the team’s propensity for slow starts. “We waited too long,” he began. “We need to play with the aggressiveness we had in the second half. We need that from the first whistle, not the second whistle.” he added with a knowing smile. “When we want to show up, we show up. We didn’t show up for the first half. We showed up for the second...need to be there for the whole game. “Still, I’m proud of them. They played hard,” Brummett said. Kettle Run rebounded the next night with a 3-0 home win over Millbrook. Rachel Kersey, Katie Kuzma and Ella Slevin scored off assists by
mark, but Del Gallo countered 42 seconds later to reinstate the threegoal advantage at 8-5. Liberty once again regained its composure and mounted a prolonged four-goal stream to retake the upper hand. Amelia Hutchison and Fling scored to narrow the gap to 8-7. Hutchison then knotted the game at 8-all with 9:36 remaining in regulation. Senior Alex Palizzi then used an unsettled situation to give Liberty its first lead in more than 20 minutes.
“The game got too close for comfort, so we called timeout and put all the starters back in,” McInnis said. “I thought it would give us the best chance for the win, and the girls deserved that opportunity. “Fortunately, it worked and we were able to time it up right before the end of regular time.” Alyssa Bradley tied it at 9-9 at the 4:38 mark, but Fling had her fifth goal of the evening to give the Eagles their final lead at 10-9 before Barkovic scored the tying and winning goals.
Kettle Run girls soccer loses key game to Handley 1-0 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Fauquier Times
Almost everyone has heard the phrase “it’s a game of inches.” The Kettle Run girls soccer team fell to Handley 1-0 in overtime on April 27 in a game that nearly saw the Cougars come agonizingly close to tying it in the final two minutes. The Judges’ game-winner came off a 40-yard free kick in the first five-minute OT that was volleyed in by Julia Nerangis. Lauren Mason delivered a high-arcing pass high over the wall of players to Nerangis, who finished in traffic.. Then, Kettle Run’s bid to tie was foiled as Rachel Kersey unleashed a shot from almost point-blank range LACROSSE, from page 35 Alaina Marek scored once before Fling added a pair of goals to move Liberty into a 4-3 lead with 5:15 remaining in the half. Now, it was Fauquier’s turn to ramp up its attack again. Polster, Barkovic and Toni Renzi registered scores to provide Fauquier with a 6-4 halftime bulge. Polster struck again just 81 seconds into the second half to increase the score to 7-4. Eagle Caroline Lasher interrupted the Falcon surge at the 16:40

Public Notices PUBLIC NOTICE FEMA-4644-DR-VA
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice to the public of its intent to reimburse eligible applicants for eligible costs to repair and/or replace facilities damaged by a severe winter storm (FEMA-4644-DR-VA) occurring from January 2 to January 3, 2022. This notice applies to the Public Assistance (PA) and Hazard Mitigation Grant (HMGP) programs implemented under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121-5206. Under a major disaster declaration (FEMA-4644-DR-VA) signed by the President on March 11, 2022, the following areas of the Commonwealth of Virginia are eligible for PA only: Albemarle, Amelia, Appomattox, Bedford, Buckingham, Caroline, Charlotte, Culpeper, Cumberland, Essex, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Goochland, Greene, Hanover, King George, King William, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Rappahannock, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Westmoreland Counties and the independent City of Fredericksburg. Additional areas may be designated at a later date. All areas in the Commonwealth of Virginia are eligible for HMGP. This public notice concerns activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in or affect wetland areas or the 100-year floodplain, and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain. Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage. Presidential Executive Orders 11988 and 11990 require that all federal actions in or affecting the floodplain or wetlands be reviewed for opportunities to relocate, and evaluated for social, economic, historical, environmental, legal and safety considerations. Where there is no opportunity to relocate, FEMA is required to undertake a detailed review to determine what measures can be taken to minimize future damages. The public is invited to participate in the process of identifying alternatives and analyzing their impacts. FEMA has determined that for certain types of facilities there are normally no alternatives to restoration in the floodplain/wetland. These are facilities that meet all of the following criteria: 1) FEMA’s estimate of the cost of repairs is less than 50% of the cost to replace the entire facility, and is less than $100,000; 2) the facility is not located in a floodway; 3) the facility has not sustained major structural damage in a previous Presidentially declared flooding disaster or emergency; and 4) the facility is not critical (e.g., the facility is not a hospital, generating plant, emergency operations center, or a facility that contains dangerous materials). FEMA intends to provide assistance for the restoration of these facilities to their pre-disaster condition, except that certain measures to mitigate the effects of future flooding or other hazards may be included in the work. For example, a bridge or culvert restoration may include a larger waterway opening to decrease the risk of future washouts. For routine activities, this will be the only public notice provided. Other activities and those involving facilities that do not meet the four criteria are required to undergo more detailed review, including study of alternate locations. Subsequent public notices regarding such projects will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available. In many cases, an applicant may have started facility restoration before federal involvement. Even if the facility must undergo detailed review and analysis of alternate locations, FEMA will fund eligible restoration at the original location if the facility is functionally dependent on its floodplain location (e.g., bridges and flood control facilities), or the project facilitates an open space use, or the facility is an integral part of a larger network that is impractical or uneconomical to relocate, such as a road. In such cases, FEMA must also examine the possible effects of not restoring the facility, minimize floodplain/wetland impacts, and determine both that an overriding public need for the facility clearly outweighs the Executive Order requirements to avoid the floodplain/wetland, and that the site is the only practicable alternative. Commonwealth of Virginia and local officials will confirm to FEMA that proposed actions comply with all applicable State and local floodplain management and wetland protection requirements. Presidential Executive Order 12898, Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, directs each federal agency to avoid disproportionate and high adverse human health or environmental effects to low-income and minority populations. FEMA aims to identify low income and minority communities at the onset of a declared event to gain better understanding of how response and recovery efforts, including mitigation may impact such groups and communities. Additionally, once low income and minority communities have been identified, FEMA aims to minimize any potential adverse impacts to those communities through encouraging alternative selection of response and recovery actions including HMGP projects. FEMA also intends to provide HMGP funding to the Commonwealth of Virginia to mitigate future disaster damages. These projects may include construction of new facilities, modification of existing, undamaged facilities, relocation of facilities out of floodplains, demolition of structures, or other types of projects to mitigate future disaster damages. In the course of developing project proposals, subsequent public notices will be published if necessary, as more specific information becomes available. The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archaeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA’s undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional public notices. For historic properties not adversely affected by FEMA’s undertaking, this will be the only public notice. As noted, this may be the only public notice regarding the above-described actions under the PA and HMGP programs. Interested persons may obtain information about these actions or a specific project by writing to the Federal Emergency Management Agency via email: FEMA-R3-EHP-PublicComment@fema.dhs.gov. Comments should be addressed in writing to Gerard Stolar, Federal Coordinating Officer, at the above email address within 15 days of the date of this notice.
