Twilight Polo at center of sexual harassment case The Great Meadow event renamed as misconduct charges fly By Hunter Savery Staff Writer
Charges of sexual misconduct against a polo icon who worked in Fauquier County have sparked a criminal investigation and forced changes to a popular local polo event. The charges come from a lawsuit filed by a 19-year-old woman who claims champion polo player John Gobin coerced her into sex when she was his 16-year-old employee. Reporting by the Washington Post has since revealed a total of six women who claim Gobin sexually harassed them.

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors won’t be able to tighten restrictions on all new, large-scale data center projects in Vint Hill because some were already in the works before the board moved to change the area’s zoning rules. In March, county supervisors adopted a new set of rules aimed at reining in large new data centers in Vint Hill. The new rules require all new data centers larger than 50,000 square feet to go through a rigorous special permitting process. Two such facilities escaped from the rules, however, and were grandfathered in because their plans were filed before the change was approved.

But Gobin fired back with a lawsuit filed in April in Fauquier County Circuit Court against the 19-yearold woman, claiming the charges in her lawsuit are false and that her intention is to harm his business The lawsuit also names a former business partner, alleging she conspired with the young woman to steal his business. Part of the business dispute involved Great Meadow, the Fauquier County field events center where Gobin once managed Twilight Polo. Great Meadow Foundation, which operates the events center, has rebranded its evening polo as “Sunset Polo.” Gobin’s former business partner, Whitney Ross, is listed as the event’s pointof-contact on its website.
Three data center projects already in the works at Vint Hill will escape new zoning rules aimed at limiting their size. The OVH data center is expanding, and two not-yet-built data centers are planned.
Last Thursday, the supervisors added one more exempt data center project to the list: Vint Hill Corners, which is proposed for 46 acres at the corner of Brookside Parkway and Kennedy Road. The action settled a dispute between the county officials — some of whom were skeptical of the project — and the Vint Hill Corners owners who thought their project should have been exempt from the new rules in the first place. The two data center projects that were initially allowed to escape the special permit restrictions were the Cyrus One project — aN 875,000-square-foot complex comprised of four, 56-foot-tall buildings planned for the corner of Vint Hill Road and Vint Hill Parkway — and an expansion of the OVH Cloud center that sits further south on the parkway. Cyrus One submitted site plans to the county on April 26. See VINT HILL, page 6

Wexton endorses Virginia Sen. Suhas Subramanyam in 10th District congressional race By Cher Muzyk Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton on Monday endorsed Virginia Sen. Suhas Subramanyam to succeed her in Congress, a move that will likely significantly boost Subramanyam’s chances in the crowded Democratic primary for the 10th District congressional race, which will be decided June 18. “I believe Suhas (Subramanyam) is the leader for the future of the 10th District,” Wexton wrote in a statement she issued Monday, May 13. “He is a hardworking, principled and effective legislator who has a long commitment to service, and (he) is rooted right here in the heart of the district.” “From fighting for abortion rights and gun violence prevention to protecting our democracy, he has always taken on the tough battles in Richmond and won,” Wexton added. Subramanyam, 37, of Loudoun County, was the first Hindu and Indian American to be sworn into the Virginia General Assembly. He won his delegate seat in 2019 and his state Senate seat in 2023. Subramanyam has a law degree, worked in the Obama Administration and is a small business owner. Subramanyam is one of 12 Democrats vying for their party’s nomination in June 18 primary to run for the 10th District congressional seat. Early voting is under way across the state. The seat is open due to Wexton’s retirement. Wexton announced in September she would not seek re-election because she is battling Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsy, a severe form of Parkinson’s disease. “Although I was not planning to retire so soon, life had other ideas,” Wexton wrote in her an-

In what is already turning out to be a very
expensive primary race, Subramanyam is the fourth-leading fund-raiser so far, bringing in nearly $680,000, including $400,000 in the first quarter of 2024, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. The 10th District includes all of Fauquier, Loudoun and Rappahannock counties, the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park and parts Fairfax and Prince William counties.

Fauquier County students could prepare for a teaching career while still in high school — for free By Meghan Mangrum Deputy Editor
A new teacher preparation program could soon send Fauquier County students back into the classroom just years after high school graduation, only this time as teachers. The Future Educators Academy is a dual enrollment program that will allow high school juniors and seniors to complete coursework to earn their high school diploma while earning an associate’s degree in education at the same time. If they go straight to a four-year institution and immediately earn a bachelor’s degree, they could be teachers by age 20 or 21. The program, a partnership between Laurel Ridge and Germanna community colleges and James Madison University, aims to shore up the teacher shortage in Virginia while recruiting diverse educators, especially for rural areas like Culpeper, Rappahannock, Shenandoah and even Fauquier County. Graduates will receive guaranteed admission to James Madison upon completion of their associate’s degree, where they can earn a bachelor’s degree in education in as little as two years. In addition to giving students a leg up on eventually earning a four-year degree and their teaching license — it’s also free. Thanks to $7 million in state funding for the first three years of the program, tuition and fees will be covered for the up to 15 Fauquier County students who enroll. Transportation to Laurel Ridge’s Fauquier campus will also be provided, Brenda Byard, a former dean and head of early college and high school partnerships for Laurel Ridge, told the Fauquier County School Board Monday night.

One goal of the Future Educators Academy program is to increase the diversity of Virginia’s teacher workforce. “We want teachers who look like our kids,” said program manager Brenda Byard of Laurel Ridge Community College. The program is launching this fall with its first cohort of high school juniors but is not available to Fauquier students until the fall of 2025. The college will spend several months getting the word out about the opportunity to rising sophomores who will be able to apply when the application period opens this fall. High school seniors who graduate with an associate’s degree could potentially earn a bachelor’s degree in education by age 20 or 21, Byard and several board members noted. “(Age) was a topic of concern when it first came up,” Fauquier County Superintendent Major Warner acknowledged during Monday’s school board meeting. “You are talking about mature kids who feel a calling to be a teacher, who can step into that role.” Board Chair Susan Pauling, who regularly calls upon the division’s director of human resources

to give a report on staff vacancies, said it comes down to whether folks want qualified people in the classroom. “Is the preference having someone coming back in at age 20 who may be a teacher … or a long-term substitute who has no background in teaching?” she said. Graduates of the program would be required to return to the school district they graduated from to teach for at least two years after completing their bachelor’s degree at a four-year university. The program is aimed at students interested in elementary education and/or special education, but even students interested in other areas or grade levels could benefit and build on the experience. The program is in part made possible by Virginia’s college partnership lab school initiative which allocates per-pupil funding to innovative start-ups based out of colleges and universities. Germanna Community College in Stafford County will officially house the lab school and the 2024 cohort of students. The move comes as states across the country work to bolster a struggling teacher workforce and turn away from traditional educator preparation programs at four-year universities to alternative models like “grow your own programs” that train existing school staff to become certified or give current students a leg up on their way to becoming educators.

Forever chemical cleanup could cost Fauquier County $44 million
“Forever chemicals” found in more Fauquier water systems US 17 I 66
More than a third of the county’s drinking water wells will need upgrades under new EPA guidelines By Hunter Savery Staff Writer
Fauquier County now has a price for cleaning up its drinking water. It could cost the county about $44 million to upgrade its drinking water wells to meet new EPA standards, officials say. More than a third of Fauquier County’s drinking water wells would need those upgrades because they tested over the limit for forever chemicals. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to deadly cancers, impacts to the liver and heart and immune and developmental damage to infants and children. Meeting the Environmental Protection Agency’s new drinking water standards is possible, but expensive, Ben Shoemaker, executive director of the county’s Water and Sanitation Authority, told the Board of Supervisors last week. “Based on our affected wells, their size and the national average treatment cost, here’s what it’s going to cost: Right now, it adds up to $44 million,” Shoemaker said. The caveat? This is a “low confidence” estimate, he said, and a
specialized engineering study will be needed to come up with a more accurate cost. Under the EPA’s new drinking water standards, water authorities have until 2029 to remove PFAS from water sources where it has been detected. While the technology to do so already exists, making the necessary upgrades will be expensive, especially in a county where 35% of wells need upgrades. Furthermore, the Fauquier County Water and Sanitation Authority receives no tax funding and generates only about $14 million in annual revenue from water and sewer fees. On May 3, the water authority applied for grant funding to help upgrade the county’s PFAS treatment capacity, but because of its demographics, Fauquier County may not qualify for financial assistance, Shoemaker said. “Essentially, we are not a disadvantaged waterworks, even though we have an enormous problem on our hands,” he said.

UVA Health announced plans to acquire Piedmont Family Practice, a Warrenton-based family medicine clinic serving the area since 1993, on May 7.
UVA Health acquires Warrenton’s Piedmont Family Practice
Staff Report UVA Health will acquire Piedmont Family Practice, a private family medicine clinic in Warrenton, this summer. The two entities recently completed a purchase agreement, UVA Health announced Tuesday, and plan to finalize the sale this summer. Piedmont Family Practice is the largest primary care practice in Warrenton and has served the area since 1993. In addition to general family medicine, it offers women’s health, in-office surgeries and includes Piedmont Urgent Care and the Bariatric & Metabolic Weight Loss Center. It employs about 90 staff members, including seven physicians, 17 nurse practitioners or physician assistants, a certified diabetic educator and a registered dietitian. The acquisition will expand UVA Health’s primary care provider footprint 61% in the area, according to a news release. Dr. K. Craig Kent, CEO of UVA Health and executive vice president for health affairs at the University of Virginia, said the agreement helps fulfill key goals for the health system. “The acquisition of Piedmont Family Practice helps UVA Health address many components of our 10-year strategic plan, including the expansion of our statewide care network and access to primary care, by providing a geographic connection to our primary care network, which will now extend from Culpeper through Warrenton and throughout Northern Virginia,” Kent said in a news release. “Piedmont Family Practice is a group of outstanding physicians and allied health providers, and we are so thrilled they are
joining our UVA Health family.” UVA Health officials say they plan to continue employing all the current Piedmont Family Practice team members and “support the practice’s growth ambitions over time.” The academic health system already boasts a surgical care center, cardiology and obstetrics and gynecology services in Warrenton. The closest UVA Health family medicine or primary care offices are currently in Gainesville and Haymarket. UVA Community Health also offers services in Culpeper. “The Piedmont Family Practice team is a well-known, high-quality group of care providers with a longstanding commitment to serving the community,” Erik Shannon, chief executive officer of UVA Community Health, said in a news release Tuesday. “This partnership provides both Piedmont Family Practice and UVA Health an opportunity to benefit from each organization’s best practices as we strive for excellence in our primary care offering.” Dr. Steven W. von Elten, a founding member and physician partner in Piedmont Family Practice, praised the merger. “Personalized, quality health care is a key shared value of Piedmont Family Practice and UVA Health,” von Elten said in a news release. “Joining forces with UVA Health will enable us to enhance the care we provide by providing a valuable investment in the latest technology as well as making it easier for our patients to access subspecialty care.” Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Fauquier supervisors exempt 3rd data center from new Vint Hill zoning rules VINT HILL, from page 1 The supervisors also decided on Thursday to allow a planned assisted living home at the corner of Aiken and Farm Station roads that has been in the works since at least 2017 to avoid the special permit process. The engineers for the Vint Hill Independent Living Facility have submitted 12 sets of site plans over the years, responding to critiques from county reviewers, the last set being submitted on March 25. “Those site plans were in a long, long time ago. And we should have grandfathered them. It would be wrong to have to put those guys through a (special permit) process when we know what they’re doing,” said Ike Broaddus, whose district includes Vint Hill and who sponsored the legislation in an interview before Thursday’s meeting. Asked why Village Corners had not been grandfathered in from the start, Broaddus said it was not far enough along in the permitting process and that “there are many of us who did not believe that they should have been grandfathered (in) under any circumstances.” At the supervisors’ May 9 meeting, Broaddus made it clear that he remains opposed to the proj-

He said it will be too close to residences and that a “walkable, small-scale” development there would be more appropriate. The developers and the county have been wrestling since at least October over whether
Vint Hill’s zoning allows data center development on the property. County Attorney Tracy Gallehr told the board her office and the developers had worked out a compromise: The project would be grandfathered in, but the two parties would agree on development restrictions. For instance, she said, their agreement stated that the developer could choose between either 45-foot-tall buildings, including rooftop equipment or taller buildings with greater setbacks and smaller footprints. Plans submitted in February depict two, two-story buildings on the site with a total of 720,000 square feet of floor space. Broaddus said he could live with the compromise. “To them, it makes a very big difference whether we let them (be grandfathered) or not. It changes the land’s value dramatically,” Broaddus said. The board approved the agreement in a 4-1 vote with Supervisor Regan Washer voting no. He did not explain his vote. Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com.

Forever chemical cleanup could cost Fauquier County $44 million CHEMICALS, from page 4 Several supervisors expressed concern about the looming financial challenge. “Forty-four million dollars to treat an operation that only has $14 million in revenue over the course of a year? This is going to get political fast,” board chair Rick Gerhardt said. “I think there’s going to be a lot of pressure on doing something here.” That pressure is already mounting. “The (Virginia Department of Health) came out and administered a survey and found PFAS in some of the random water systems. And we said, ‘Wait a minute, we’re not supposed to have this in Fauquier County like this,’” Shoemaker said. Surprised by the state test results, the water authority launched its own testing program, which sampled water from all of the county’s 14 public groundwater systems. The results both confirmed the state test results and revealed an even bigger problem. The county’s test results, released on April 10, found that about 35% of

An investigation is ongoing
Ari Wilkenfield, an attorney representing the 19-year-old woman, told the Fauquier Times her suit should be a wakeup call for the polo world. “We’re hoping that the lawsuit raises awareness of a larger problem in the polo world, and really anywhere that you find a mixture of rich and powerful men and young women and girls who are trying to make their way in the world,” he said. Gobin vigorously denies the allegations of abuse. In his countersuit, Gobin alleges that he is both innocent and the victim of a conspiracy “to ruin Gobin’s good reputation, in order to take his business, and eventually all of his property.”
wells than smaller ones, according to Shoemaker. The size disparity means that about 50% of the county’s drinking water supply would not meet the EPA’s new drinking water standards.
Attorneys representing the young woman have filed a motion to dismiss Gobin’s suit. She told the Washington Post she has no business connection to either Gobin or Ross. A hearing for the motion to dismiss was scheduled for May 10, but was delayed. Another hearing is slated for June 14. The lawsuits reference law enforcement interviews, and the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it was aware of the allegations, and an investigation is ongoing, but no determination has been made as to whether a crime occurred.

In a statement to the Fauquier Times, the Great Meadow Foundation said that the separation between Twilight Polo Club and the foundation was not due to sexual assault allegations or any litigation but was a contractual decision. Great Meadow representatives said the organization is in the midst of the rebranding to Sunset

It’s actually about half of our supply is no longer useful, as is, in 2029, and we’ve got to figure out what to do about that,” Shoemaker told the supervisors. According to the EPA, PFAS are a category of chemicals used since the 1940s to repel oil and water and resist heat, which makes them useful in everyday products such as nonstick cookware, stain-resistant clothing and firefighting foam. And, once PFAS is in the environment, it can spread quickly. The source of the Fauquier County contamination, which can vary significantly even across small distances, remains unclear — but regardless of source, the pollutants will need to be removed within the next five years.

Polo in part because of a trademark dispute with Gobin.

and I called the number,” he said. He’s been a volunteer ever since, and these days you can usually find him working 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the food bank. Now 84, Baccei isn’t as unusual as you might think. Tucked into businesses and nonprofits across Fauquier County are seniors aged 80 and up still working full time hours. What motivates them? While it can be another way to stay sharp and active as they age, generally, it’s their passion for the work that drives them.

“I just want to help people,” Baccei said. “I saw the need for the Food Bank and the help it provides. I like being a part of that.” For the first few years, Baccei only worked a few hours a week, but after his third retirement in 2014, he increased his volunteerism hours. He is proud of the food bank’s growth over the past 14 years. It serves anywhere from 40 to 50 families each day. “At Thanksgiving last year, we served dinner to 780 families,” he said. “We turn every dollar we get into four dollars with careful shopping.” Staying busy, he believes, has helped him live a long and healthy life. “It’s important to stay active,” he said. “Don’t stay home. It’s important to get out of the house, if even for only a few hours a day.” Anne Hall, 88, has been a Realtor ® for 50 years and is still working as an agent with Long and Foster. She said she loves the challenge of her job. “It’s a people business, and I’m a people person,” she said. “I like learning about what people are looking for in a home and helping them find the right one.” She is also an active volunteer who has had a broad impact on the community. Among the many community boards she has served on are the Fauquier Free Clinic, Fauquier Health System, Fauquier Health Foundation, Fauquier Health Senior Living, Virginia Gold Cup Association Committee and Highland School. On May 9, she received an honorary degree from Laurel Ridge Community College. She served on the Laurel Ridge Educational Foundation Board from 2003 to 2009 and rejoined in 2022. The school estimates her fundraising has brought in $3 million in gifts to support scholarships and facilities at the Fauquier Campus. “Many schools and nonprofit organizations in Fauquier County have benefitted from Anne’s passion to help others — perhaps none more than Laurel Ridge Community College and its Educational Foundation,” said Laurel Ridge President Kim Blosser. “Anne has always taken an active
role in the life of her community and encouraged others to do the same. Fortunately for Laurel Ridge, Anne has been a visible and vocal supporter of the community college mission for more than 30 years and is fiercely devoted to the Fauquier Campus.” Besides work, Hall said she believes travel helps keep her energized into her 80s. The World War II buff has enjoyed extensive visits to World War II sites in Europe. With a milestone birthday on the horizon, her children bought her an eight-day trip to Hawaii built around the experiences of life on the USS Missouri, which was the scene of the Japanese surrender, ending the war. Work and travel give her life an ongoing sense of adventure. “I love to travel,” she said. “I recently took a rail trip from Toronto to Vancouver and took a seaplane ride when I arrived there,” she said. At age 93, Jim Rankin of Rankin’s Furniture said he learned a long time ago that he had to work for the things he wanted in life. And he is still coming to the furniture store most days. Rankin was named citizen of the year in Fauquier County’s center district in December and a local author wrote a book about his life. After serving in the Korean War, he returned to his native Fauquier County and spent more than half a century as a business leader and public servant. “You have to love what you do,” he said. “Some days it may make you tired, and other days, it will cheer you up.” For Hazel Edwards, the family business is Chick’s Service. She has worked at the shop for all 56 of its years and at age 84 still enjoys coming to work. She said she enjoys working with her family every day and is grateful she is still on the job. Edwards works alongside her son Dale and said she gets support also from his wife, Wendy, and another daughter-in-law, Debbie Embrey. “We are blessed with good employees and good customers,” she said, “I am lucky that my health still allows me to work.”

Veteran nurse’s volunteer work wins countywide honor Kirkland keeps serving veterans into her 80s Staff Report When Carolyn Kirkland was a Navy nurse on an amputee ward, she often had to lift her patients in and out of bed, arduous work that ultimately led her to need back surgery in her early 30s. But when she remembers that time, she doesn’t remember the hard work or the back pain. She remembers the men she cared for and their needs. “Lifting guys out of bed, we didn’t have the equipment they do now,” she said. “But they had to get out of bed to go to physical therapy and work on their prosthetics.” Earlier this month, Kirkland was named one of “5 over 50” in a five-county region honored for their contributions to the community. Every year in May, Aging Together honors one person aged 50 or older in each of five counties: Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Culpeper and Rappahannock. Aging Together is a coalition of mostly volunteer organizations that aim to serve older residents in the region. Kirkland, 88, of Warrenton, was nominated by Molly Brooks, the founder of Hero’s Bridge. The nonprofit, based in Warrenton, supports elderly veterans. Kirkland is a star volunteer for the organization. After serving 10 years as a Navy nurse, Kirkland left the service to

Carolyn Kirkland (right) with fellow Hero’s Bridge volunteer Alice Cotter at Aging Together’s “5 over 50” celebration event at the PATH Foundation on Wednesday, May 1. support her husband, Bud, who was a U.S. Marine. They immediately began serving as volunteers with veterans’ organizations. “Getting out of the Navy, it wasn’t a big deal for me working with veterans,” she said. “It was something I had to do. My husband did, also. We started at Quantico and worked across the state.” Kirkland had a difficult upbringing, raised for much of her childhood in an Illinois orphanage in Illinois after her father died of a heart attack when she was 9 years old, and her mother suffered from mental illness.
She was inspired to join the military by a series of Cherry Ames mystery novels in which the central character was a military nurse. “She was a nurse and somehow that kind of stoked my interest as a kid in an orphanage,” she said. “So, I went into nursing. Before I knew it, I was raising my hand to join the Navy.” A volunteer since 2018, Kirkland is an ambassador for Hero’s Bridge. She is literally a “poster child” for the organization, with her image serving as one of Hero’s Bridge’s “guardians of freedom” portraits. “Carolyn is an example of a Hero’s
Bridge veteran who does more for the organization than is done for her,” Brooks wrote to nominate Kirkland. “Her strong health, positive attitude and busy schedule put her in the very best position to enjoy a high quality of life in her senior years.” Kirkland works directly with veterans served by the organization, including those suffering with challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Those who return home from combat need support, she said. “They come back trying to find their place in life where they are safe, and other people understand what they’ve been through,” she said. There are many ways to support veterans, Kirkland said. “It can be something so simple,” she said, “like a ramp for someone in a wheelchair or helping them get to a doctor’s appointment or get groceries. Or just being there to listen to them.” Kirkland said she would prefer the attention on her was shifted to the veterans she served. Thinking back on her work with amputees, she said she believes their hard work in recovery deserved all the accolades. It was hard, but those guys were so brave,” she said. “I don’t think people realized how brave those guys were.” Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Indoor pickleball courts headed to Manassas next month Fast-growing sport drives an explosion of courts in Northern Virginia By Isabella Shrek
Contributing Writer
Looking to take your pickleball game indoors this summer? New courts are only a bit of a drive away: They’re coming to the Manassas Mall in June. Dill Dinkers, a facility dedicated solely to the sport, will open its Manassas location on June 8. The 16,000-square-foot facility will have six outdoor-style, fenced courts, event space and a pro shop where patrons can buy equipment and apparel. Leagues, clinics and classes will also be offered. Newcomers can try out the sport during open play periods for free during the opening week of the facility through a mobile app called Court Reserve. You don’t have to be a member to use the courts, but memberships do come with lower fees. Members will pay $7.50 per hour in court fees at the Manassas location, while visitors will pay $15. Similarly, open play costs $7.50 per session for members and $15 for visitors. Gage Tutko is the director of pickleball for the Manassas location. He will be overseeing leagues, clinics, open play and private events and maintaining the facility. Tutko said the sport has been taking off because of how universal it is. “It’s hard not to have fun when you’re playing pickleball,” Tutko said. “Anybody can play. From young to old, anyone who’s never played a sport before in their life can pick up a pickleball paddle and figure it out pretty quickly.” This location will be the first of Dill Dinkers’ facilities to have cushion courts, which lessen the impact on the body compared to harder courts. The ball behaves the same as it would on a typical hard court.
COURTESY DILL DINKERS
Dill Dinkers, an indoor pickleball club, is set to open next month at the Manassas Mall. “We’re putting down a layer of cushioning and then sealing that and painting that, so, it’ll have a little bit more give on the joints and body in general for everyone that wants to play on it,” Tutko said. The Manassas Mall location will be Dill Dinkers’ fifth facility. The chain is quickly growing with 30 locations expected to be opened by the end of the year and around 300 in development, according to Erika Spalding, the chief marketing officer. Of those locations, 15 will be coming to northern Virginia. Vanessa Economos. the regional developer for the area, will be operating some franchise locations herself and lending guidance to other franchisees in the area — specifically in Fairfax, Prince William, Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. “It’s just a lot of fun and a great way to meet
other community members and build friendships,” she said of the sport. Economos said that the opportunity stood out to her because of how quickly pickleball is growing and the need for more indoor courts. Indoor space allows people to enjoy the sport when the weather won’t permit playing outside, she said. “It’s in an industry that’s an emerging market that’s growing,” Economos said. “There’s an opportunity to build indoor courts as most of the current courts are outside. I thought it was a great time to join along with Dill Dinkers.” Want to stay up to date on the best stories about Life in the Piedmont?

Magnolia Vineyards to host 3rd annual RAWL fundraiser this weekend Staff Report This weekend, Magnolia Vineyards & Winery is going to the dogs! Tina and Glenn Marchione might not have planned for their winery to become so furry friend-focused when they started their vineyard in Amissville nearly a decade ago, but it has. This weekend, Magnolia Vineyards, the couple’s semi-retirement venture, is hosting its third annual RAWL Fundraiser in honor of National Rescue Dog Day. The event raises money for the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League, a nonprofit rescue organization where the Marchiones have adopted most of their winery dogs. The dogs are also featured on the winery’s labels, across its social media and prominently in the wine room itself. If you stop in, you’ll likely get a sniff and hello from Maggie, Vinnie and Sangie (short

Other dogs are welcome and likely will enjoy the sprawling patio and yard — complete with a wishing well raising money for the Rappahannock Food Pantry — but dog owners should know the permanent pups wander off-leash and will try to say hello, Tina Marchione said. Fundraiser festivities start Friday, May 17 with “Yappy Hour,” which will feature wine specials, door prizes and doggo-themed trivia. Saturday, May 18 will bring even more fun with live music, food trucks, local vendors, a raffle and other contests. Last year, the winery hosted a lookalike contest for dogs and their owners. Tina Marchione estimates Magnolia Vineyards has donated more than $10,000 to RAWL over the decades, between donations from wine sales and the annual fundraiser. The winery has come a long way since the Marchiones held their first tastings in their basement. The full facility opened just about five years ago, and the winery will celebrate its 10-year anniversary this July. Yappy Hour on Friday is from 4 to 6 p.m. On Saturday, the winery will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit www. magnoliavineyards.com or https:// bit.ly/4bfFLGX.

Falcons’ Lobo is equivalent of must-see TV By Peter Brewington Sports Editor
Sometimes a soccer player catches your eye with an array of moves or key goal that leaves a lasting impression. Erick Lobo was that head-turning Falcon last Tuesday at Kelican Field. Looking like he had jet packs in his cleats, Lobo continually blasted ahead of James Wood players in the midfield, showing an extra gear that allowed him to create mismatches. With under 10 minutes left and Fauquier down 1-0, Lobo struck like a lightning bolt, taking a through ball from Javier Contreras and darting into open space 20 yards in front of the goal as the crowd gasped at the opportunity unfolding. When the James Wood goalie ran forward to cut Lobo’s angles, the 5-foot-8 senior deftly knocked the ball to the right, sped to it and drilled the tying goal into the right side of the net. “He got his goal. We knew he’d get one,” said Fauquier coach Chase Davenport of the prolific senior forward-midfielder who leads the team with 11 goals and 13 assists. Fauquier eventually won 2-1 on Javier Contreras’ goal with five seconds left in the second overtime. Using a deep and talented lineup that includes more than Lobo, Fauquier has won four in row. They’ve beaten Sherando 3-2, Warren County 9-1, James Wood 2-1 (OT) and Meridian 3-2 (OT) to improve to 9-3-2 with two games left before the Class 3 Region B playoffs start May 23. “We’re in a fortunate spot as coaches to have a lot of speed and technical skill. We happen to have a good thing going. We’re definitely scoring more,” Davenport said. Wearing No. 10 and headed to play at Bridgewater College, the explosive Lobo is the equivalent of must-see

TV. “He’s one of our star players. He brings it every game. He sets the tone and the rhythm,” Davenport said. Not only is Lobo scoring, but Javier Contreras (eight goals/seven assists), Josue Garcia (seven goals), Chris Guevara (six goals/eight assists), Adelmo Chavez (five goals), David Calderon (five assists) and Jairo Contreras (four assists) are all highly productive. Fauquier’s 3-2 win over a potent Meridian squad last Friday in Fairfax was also a strong performance. Lobo’s penalty kick gave the Falcons a 1-0 lead, before Meridian shot ahead 2-1. Jairo Contreras — Javier’s brother — tied it in the second half, then scored again in the first minute of the second overtime. After winning the Northwestern District Class 4 regular season title last year, Fauquier will return to regionals as one of the top eight teams in Class 3 Region B. No. 1 Culpeper is slightly ahead of No. 2 Fauquier and William Monroe, followed by No. 4 Manassas Park, No. 5 Meridian, No. 6 Kettle Run, No. 7 Maggie Walker and No. 8 Brentsville. “Each passing game we get a lot more confident. I have nothing but pride for the boys,” said Davenport. On the team’s two year successes, he said, “We don’t take it for granted. We’ve got players on this team that were on that team two years ago that won two games.” The top region finalists make the state tournament, so Fauquier needs two region wins to make states. Fauquier has two regular season games left, both home. On Thursday, Fauquier hosts a tough Manassas Park (5-4-2) squad followed by Liberty (1-10-2) Friday when seniors Lobo, Wyatt Keith, Nic Rhodes, Jason Guevara, Damin Williams and Joshua Martinez Reyes will be honored on Senior Night.
FHS girls soccer becoming ‘a team you don’t want to play’ By Matthew Proctor Sports R eporter
After years of frustration, the Fauquier High girls soccer team has played their way into the promised land, the region playoffs. Playing with gusto lately, Fauquier is 8-4-3 and has soared to third place in Class 3 Region B with one game left Friday at Liberty. It’s the first winning record for FHS girls soccer since 2014, when they finished 10-6. “The team is growing with confidence. In the past, we have created many opportunities, now we are finishing them and giving our team better opportunities to PHOTO BY PATRICK NYE

win games, said second-year coach Bryan Black, whose Falcons have won four of their last five with wins over Manassas Park, Meridian, Sherando, Warren County and a tie against James Wood. After finishing 4-10-1 in Black’s first season, the Falcons have doubled their win total and are sending a message with the regional tournament opening May 23. The Falcons are currently the No. 3 seed behind No. 1 William Monroe (131) and No. 2 Brentsville (11-2-1), the defending Class 3 state champion. Meridian (8-5), Culpeper County (8-5-1) and Kettle Run (7-2-3) are close behind. Fauquier hasn’t played William Monroe or Culpeper but lost to Kettle Run 1-0 on March 16, Brentsville 1-0 on April 12 and Meridian 2-0 on April 19. See SOCCER, page 14

It’s Craig and the youngsters Kettle Run boys tennis features two veterans and four freshmen By Matthew Proctor Sports R eporter
The Kettle Run High boys tennis team will likely be the No. 4 seed in the Class 3 Region B tournament, which starts Thursday. At 8-5, the Cougars are a very young team that features four freshmen in the six-player lineup. “Sometimes it’s a good thing and a bad thing, but they’ve learned a lot, and they’re actually grasping certain things, certain situations where they’re winning matches now that maybe at the beginning of the year they would not have won,” said coach Derek Maloney. Meridian and Maggie Walker are the top two seeds in the region, with Fauquier just ahead of Kettle Run in third. Kettle Run only lost to Meridian and Fauquier (twice) in regional play. Their other losses were to Class 4 Handley and Sherando. “We’d love to win at least one round in regionals. It would be great to be able to win that with such a young team. When it’s regionals, you get nerves going up a little bit more, so we’ll see how they handle that, but I think it’ll be a great experience for them,” said Maloney Senior Jackson Craig is in his fourth season as the Cougars’ No.

With the Cougars likely to host the Tigers in the regional quarterfinals, Craig and Cheney’s history adds another layer of intrigue. The pair will also be the No. 1 and 2 seeds in the regional singles tournament at the end of the month. “(Cheney) is a nice player, he’s got a nice game, but Jackson had him beat in the last match and let him off the hook a little bit. We were on a stretch of four matches in a week, so I think he was getting a little tired, but he got a lead on him and just couldn’t hold it,” Maloney said. Craig, who will play at Loras College – an NCAA Division-III private Catholic college in Dubuque, Iowa – next year, has also become an import-

He comes in, he practices hard. In his match situations, he plays hard. He does everything right. He’s basically like an assistant coach,” Maloney said. Behind Craig, Maloney’s stepson Brayden Frye and son Bryce Maloney are the No. 2 and 3. Junior Charles Schuppin is the No. 4 and freshmen Dean McBride and Jacob Boden are the No. 5 and 6. In doubles, Craig and Maloney are No. 1, Frye and Boden are No. 2 and Schuppin and McBride are No. 3.
Maloney likes to split up the No. 1 and 2 singles players in doubles to make the doubles teams as balanced as they can be. While Maloney would like to send Craig off with a run to the state tournament, which begins May 31, the progress made by the young guys has the Cougars excited for what’s to come. “I look forward to the future with these guys. Hopefully we can grow this team, and I think we’ve got another freshman or two coming in next year, so we’re hoping to just keep building the program for the next couple of years and we’ll see where we end up from there,” said Maloney.

Sophomore Jasmine Twyman and the Falcons end the regular season at Liberty on Friday. Regional play begins May 23.
They also tied the Cougars 0-0 on April 16 and beat the Mustangs 2-1 on May 8. The tight losses to Brentsville and Meridian show how competitive Fauquier has become. “Both of those games were winnable games for us. We will be the team you do not want to play as we enter tournament time,” said Black, whose Falcons proved that by tying James Wood 0-0 on May 7 and beating Meridian 2-1 on May 8. In tying James Wood, goalkeeper Mason Riley and defenders Ella Black, Kate Cornwell, Lily Retana-Rodriguez and Fahren Wilcox combined to become the first group to shut out the undefeated Colonels (11-0-3) this year, while the win over Meridian leaped the Falcons over the Mustangs in the region standings. Against Meridian, Black put Fauquier ahead 1-0 on a penalty kick in the 10th minute, but Meridian scored shortly before the half to make it 1-1. Halfway through the second half, midfielder Kate Coonce scored the game-winner on a line drive rocket that just snuck past the keeper and inside the right post from about 40 yards away. “The James Wood and Meridian results were the result of the team’s rising belief in their ability to not only compete with the best, but to beat the best,” Black said. “We have many players that are in the early stages of discovering their potential. They are growing stronger with ev-
ery game and building chemistry with the surrounding talent. As this team continues to gel, they are becoming very difficult to play against,” the coach added. Following a five-game winless stretch in mid-April where Fauquier scored just three goals, the Falcons broke through in a big way with wins in four of their last five. Fauquier has outscored opponents 18-4 over that stretch. “Our goal scoring distribution is spread over many players on the team, and we have a healthy rotation of production through our defense and back line. We have had some injuries recently and other players on the team have stepped in and we have been able to continue to progress,” said Black. Defensively, the Falcons have been much more consistent throughout the year. In 15 games, Fauquier has shut out seven opponents and allowed multiple goals only three times. “Our success is based on collective effort. Our best defensive efforts have resulted from all 11 on the field creating pressure and limiting the opponent’s chances. Some of the most important defenders in our system are attacking players. The team as a whole has tremendous defensive responsibility, and we are at our best when all players are contributing,” Black said. The Falcons close Friday at Liberty playing their best soccer of the season. “We want to peak during the tournament, and we are currently on track for just that,” Black said.

Page Lee Glascock Upperville, Virginia Page Lee Glascock passed away peacefully at home on Sunday May 5, 2024. Page was born on December 30, 1935, and was the eldest daughter of Edward Barrington and Page Orr Lee of White Post, Virginia. Page attended boarding school at Saint Margaret's School for Girls and Mary Baldwin College. During summer break from college, Page's boarding school roommate, Carol Beard Miller of Warrenton Virginia, hosted a summer weekend house party that would change Page's life path. At the weekend party she met her future husband, Thomas Bedford "Jud" Glascock of Upperville, Virginia.

She served on the Vestry of Trinity Episcopal Church, she was a member of The Fauquier Garden Club, The Fauquier & Loudon Garden Club, The Hill School PTA.

After her children went off to college, Page studied for her real estate license and became a licensed Real Estate Agent for Glascock Real Estate. In later years, Glascock Real Estate merged with Armfield Miller & Ripley and Page continued in the field of real estate until her retirement in 2015. Page's greatest passions were family, her flower garden, cooking and creating amazing food, entertaining their wide circle of friends and her yearly trek to her beloved Captiva Island.

FOUR FEET UNDER There are several theories about where the saying “six feet under” comes from: gravedigging ease and safety, to prevent graverobbing, to stop the spread of diseases like the black plague, and the folklore that a grave should be as deep as a person is long. These days most graves are approximately four feet deep. There aren’t any nationwide regulations, so grave plot specifications are determined by state (or by city or county if a state has no rules). Many states and municipalities have standards for a grave’s width, length, and spacing between them. Sometimes burial in a vault or grave liner means you don’t have to go as deep. Graves may also be dug according to religious customs and specifications. At MOSER FUNERAL HOME, we pride ourselves on providing quality products and dignified service at an affordable cost. We understand that the emotional and financial burdens can be overwhelming, and our goal is to alleviate as much stress as possible during this time. Our spacious facility with ample parking offers two chapels, family rooms, parlors, and an on-site crematory. To learn about our services, please call (540) 347-3431. We are conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
