More than 1,600 are eligible for Medicaid expansion
Fauquier scientist aims to reimagine the National Air and Space Museum By Leland Schwartz Times Staff Writer
Pieces of history are missing from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, and Ellen Stofan has to figure out how to raise $250 million to put them on exhibit and tell their stories. At the same time, Stofan, a resident of The Plains and the museum’s new director, is overseeing a drive to reimagine the nation’s most popular museum. She wants girls to know they are badly needed in the sciences and that exciting and challenging futures await them there. It was no accident Stofan, NASA’s former chief scientist and the first woman to run Air and Space, became a planetary geologist. Her mother was an elementary school science teacher and her father, a NASA scientist. But most girls, Stofan says, are not attracted to the STEM fields. “I think the message kids lose is that science, technology, engineering and math are fun and a way to solve big challenges that the world has,” she said. As the commercialization of space and fields like artificial intelligence and robotics explode, it’s critical they attract a diverse workforce, Stofan said. Otherwise, girls will “lose out economically,” and the sciences will “lose out talent-wise, idea-wise and creativity-wise.” While Stofan, 57, thinks things have improved over the years, diversity in the sciences remains a real problem.

Fauquier County officials are expecting a 2-percent bump in the number of residents eligible for Medicaid when Virginia expands the health insurance program for the poor Jan. 1. Currently, 6,252 Fauquier County residents receive Medicaid benefits. That number is projected to increase to about 7,852 in 2019, according to Jack Ledden, director of social services for Fauquier County. Ledden briefed the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on the impact of state’s planned Medicaid expansion during a work session Thursday, Aug. 9. The Virginia General Assembly approved expanding the program earlier this year to those making up to $16,754 a year, or about 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Virginia’s current Medicaid program is among the leanest in the nation, serving people who make only up to $9,700 a year. Even disabled people were ineligible if they surpassed that income threshold. Also, no able-bodied, childless adults qualified for benefits, no matter how little they made.

More than 1,600 are eligible for Medicaid expansion MEDICAID from page 1
State lawmakers debated expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income Virginians for five years and finally voted to approve the expanded program — made possible under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare — after sweeping Democratic victories in the November 2017. Several Republican lawmakers voted with Democrats to expand Medicaid in the new state budget, which began July 1. Medicaid is a funded and administered by both the federal and state governments. Although Fauquier County doesn’t pay for Medicaid benefits, it does pay a share of per-
sonnel and operating costs. Fauquier will receive $122,557 in additional funding from the state to offset costs associated with the expected caseload increase. There isn’t a local match required in the current fiscal year, but a 15.5 percent local match of about $110,000 will be needed in the next fiscal year, Ledden said. Costs to implement the program in the midst of the current fiscal year exceeds the state’s allocation, so the county will be providing $87,101. Applications from new enrollees will be accepted starting Nov. 1. To handle the expected increase in applications for benefits, three additional full-time benefit specialists and one additional administrative
staff person will be needed, Ledden said. They will join a staff that currently numbers 19 and includes a program manager, 14 benefits specialists, two case managers and two associates and assistants. Erin Kozanecki, the county’s director of management and budget, said the state is looking to help localities recruit new staff. “Human resources is making its best effort. We’ll recruit as quickly as possible,” Kozanecki said. Ledden said there are 119 localities in Virginia in competition to hire more staff. Time is short. New staffers are expected to be hired in September and undergo training in October. Three existing social services
staff members were in Richmond last week to be brought up to speed on the expansion of the Medicaid program, Ledden said. Medicaid benefits can be used to pay doctors, hospitals, emergency care, prescription drugs, laboratory tests and X-rays, maternity and newborn care, home health care, medical equipment and supplies, rehabilitative care, mental health and addiction/recovery care, wellness exams, nutritional advice and immunizations. U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents are eligible for Medicaid as are low-income adults and children in low-income households and people with certain disabilities.

Fauquier scientist aims to reimagine the National Air and Space Museum SCIENTIST from page 1 “I can’t tell you how many times I still hear stories from people of color who are made to feel unwelcome” at universities and laboratories, she said. “I think we’re still not there in treating each other as talented individuals.” Too often, she adds, “We still say, ‘Are you a person of color? Are you a woman? So do you belong here?’” The minute others question whether certain people belong in the sciences,
Stofan says, “They start questioning themselves and say, ‘Well, maybe I don’t belong here.’” What’s missing from the museum, which opened 41 years ago, are the stories going on right now in low Earth orbit, led by private companies, some with a vision of space tourism. Also under development is NASA’s new supersonic passenger jet. As part of a seven-year, $1 billion renovation, three-quarters of which will be funded by Congress, the museum wants to redesign its galleries

and refresh the stories it has always told about the development of flight and, as Stofan puts it, “the struggle of humans against gravity.” The stories need to be modernized, she says, because 21st century audiences are more digital, read less text, and are more inclined towards interactivity. Also, the museum is filled with things Stofan says are “further and further removed” from the visitors’ lives. When it first opened, she points out, most of the population had just lived through the Apollo program, which put the first men on the moon. “That was tangible, and the shuttle had yet to fly.” But with more than 8 million annual visitors split between the museum’s Independence Avenue building in Washington and the newer Udvar-Hazy complex next to Dulles Airport, where the Space Shuttle Enterprise is on display, Stofan said she is confident the museum will raise the funding it will not get from the government. “With that kind of audience, you get to inspire that next generation of explorers, innovators and inventors,” she said. “And when we talk to donors, they get excited because they know we have a reach like no other museum.” Stofan, who has championed NA-
SA’s quest to get to Mars, said scientists are not hoping to go there so we can have another place to live in case something happens to Earth. “Definitely not,” she says. ”I think most people in the scientific community get very stressed about the idea that Mars is some kind of backup colony or backup place for humans to live. In terms of it being Planet B, it just doesn’t cut it,” Stofan said. Mars, she says, is extremely harsh environment where the radiation would probably force people to live underground. Therefore, she says we need to think of Mars like a scientific outpost “more like Antarctica than like Cleveland.” But we need to go there, Stofan says, because scientists believe it is “likely” life should have evolved on Mars and either went extinct or retreated underground. To find out for sure Stofan says we “need a scientific base, you need people, you need lots of rocks.” Earth “is the planet we can live on,” Stofan says. “Don’t take your eye off the fact that this is the planet that supports humanity.” Carl Sagan, she says, “has lovely words on the subject” and Stofan quotes him as saying, “This is where we make our stand.” Leland Schwartz can be reached at lschwartz@fauquier.com

New Poplar Springs owners aim to focus on events By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Poplar Springs Manor, formerly Poplar Springs Inn & Spa, will follow a course emphasizing event-hosting, according to the Casanova venue’s new owners. The days of “two people being served by a 15-person staff are over,” said Antonio Cecchi, a partner in the venture along with Amara Camara and Sammy Hatami. Poplar Springs will still have a spa. Diners will be served at catered affairs. The menu will offer “a lot more selections,” Cecchi said. Cecchi spoke of the changes to come during an Aug. 7 open house at Foxchase Manor in Manassas, one of the other venues operated by Gala Cuisine. The company also owns and operates Raspberry Plain Manor and Rose Hill Manor in Leesburg. Foxchase has two buildings referred to as North and South. Gala Cuisine bought the 170-acre Poplar Springs for about $4 million in July. Sandy Spring Bank financed the purchase. Cecchi said there will be an official unveiling of the new Poplar Springs Manor on Nov. 4, at which time the public and vendors can check it out.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC Antonio Cecchi, center, is shown with business partners Amara Camara, left, and Sammy Hatami. “We wanted to get past the busy season,” Cecchi explained. In the meantime, the property at 5025 Casanova Road is being spruced up. Poplar Springs Manor is getting a “facelift to give it the TLC (tender loving care) it needs and open up the possibilities it always had,” said Cecchi. The new owner, though, said he found the Poplar
Springs complex generally is in “great shape.” “It’s rare that we find everything in place. We don’t have to do any heavy-lifting,” Cecchi said. Poplar Springs Manor will continue to offer overnight accommodations in its 21-room inn, but guests attending events will have priority on the dates of those events. An online booking service accessed through a new website — poplarspringsinn.com — will show open dates. A group booking of 20 suites will carry a price of $4,000, or $200 per room, which is “kind of a different [pricing] model,” Cecchi said. Event packages include a full-service “silver” category that ranges from $110 per person for a buffet or $130 per person for a plated dinner for 50 guests, dropping in per-plate price for 100 and 150 guests. Full-service “gold” prices range from $150 per plate for a buffet and $170 per guest for a plated dinner for 50 guests, dropping in price for 100 and 150 guests. Event packages cover nine hours of service: five hours for the event itself and two hours each for set up and break down. Poplar Springs Manor can be reached at 703-3693638.

The Plains weighs rules for short-term rental properties By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Plains may join other Northern Virginia communities by regulating short-term rental properties through websites such as Airbnb. Town council will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m. Aug. 20 on an amendment to the town code to require owners earning income from “short-term or transient lodging” to register their properties with the town and pay a $20 fee. The proposal includes a $500 penalty for anyone who does not comply. It’s thought there are “just a handful” of such properties within The Plains at this time, according to Steve Gyurisin, the town’s zoning and subdivision administrator. Others advertised as being in The Plains may not really be in The Plains at all.
“There are listings online with a mailing address of The Plains extending way out into the county,” Gyurisin said. Requiring registration would “let everyone know which rooms and buildings are being used. It would help on the public-safety side” to have that information, he said. Anyone offering such lodging would also need a special-use permit, which carries with it certain compliance standards. The town has been considering this action for a while. “The planning commission has been discussing short-term lodgings for quite some time — since last year. But it was decided to wait for the state to come up with rules and regulations. We didn’t want to pass something and then find out it wouldn’t meet state code,” Gyurisin said.
The Virginia General Assembly last year approved a bill enabling local governments to adopt ordinances requiring people to register if they want to offer their property for shortterm rental. In The Plains, lodging property owners are subject to the 2-percent meals and lodging tax approved by town council last year. Fauquier County has had a 2-percent tax on transient lodgings of all types since 2005, according to Ross D’Urso, the county’s commissioner of revenue. There is no fee to register such properties. The tax applies to areas outside town limits. Fauquier has three towns — Warrenton, Remington and The Plains. Warrenton doesn’t have a shortterm rental ordinance or registry, according to Town Manager Brannon Godfrey.
A response from a Remington official wasn’t received by press time. Other jurisdictions are also regulating the short-term rental market. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors on July 31 approved a zoning ordinance change that allows county residents to rent their homes for up to 60 days a year. The number of occupants is limited to six, and there must be adequate parking. Fairfax County will issue a permit good for two years at a cost of $200. A tax equal to 6 percent per contract also applies. The Aug. 20 public hearing and town council meeting in The Plains to consider the ordinance amendment will be held in the second-floor meeting room of The Plains Fire Department, 4260 Loudoun Ave. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com
‘It’ll fly again’ County auctions two abandoned airplanes By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
They came to Warrenton-Fauquier County Airport in Midland on Friday to check out two planes for sale at auction because the owners hadn’t kept up their tie-down payments. Before the 11 a.m. start of the auction they walked around the two planes, looked at the engines and inside the cockpits. Kicking the tires was pointless since they were flat. The auction drew a crowd of 30 lookers, but a smaller number of bidders, when auctioneer Jackie Sellers, yes Sellers, started the bidding. It was over by 11:20 a.m. Peter Stephany, who has an aircraft-maintenance business in Florida, bought the 1946 ER Coupe for $2,750. The county’s auction notice listed an appraised value of $1,950. Sellers started the bidding at $200. It escalated until Stephany came away the winner. “I’m going to take it apart and bring it back to Florida. I’m doing maintenance on a plane now in a hangar,” Stephany said. He doesn’t intend to strip the Coupe for parts, though. “It’ll fly again,” he said with certainty.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC Two men who attended the auction of two planes at Warrenton-Fauquier Airport take closer looks at the Air Coupe before bidding begins. Stephany formerly lived in Fairfax County. He said his daughter is a dispatcher at the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. Chris Schuldt of Fredericksburg looked over the Air Coupe before the auction. He said he owns one. He figured it would cost $20,000 to $25,000 to get the one for sale ready to fly again, assuming
there isn’t anything wrong with the main spar. The second plane for sale, a Cessna Skyhawk 172, drew a winning bid of $4,000 from Eric Parris of Warrenton. He said he’s hoping to get a cable TV station to broadcast a reality show following his effort to make the plane airworthy again. “It’ll be a pilot [show] about a pilot,” he quipped. Parris said he’ll either move the plane to a hangar at the airport or take the wings off and move it off-site to a garage. “The engine turns over and the avionics and frame look good. It needs a fresh coat of paint,” Parris said. He has taken ground training but isn’t a licensed pilot. The Skyhawk had an appraised value of $3,600. After the auction concluded, the new owners went inside the airport office building to settle up. These were cash transactions with the full purchase price required immediately. The planes were sold as-is and without a warranty. The new owners have two weeks to move the planes off the property or sign a lease to keep them at the airport beyond that time limit.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Tariff relief step in right direction The Trump administration cut the steep 32-percent tariff it imposed on the newsprint industry earlier this year. The tariffs were levied following a complaint from a Washington-based paper mill about Canadian mills receiving unfair subsidies and dumping product on the market. Canada is the biggest producer of newsprint. Printers, publishers, paper suppliers and distributors employ more than 600,000 workers in the United States, according to Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers. The tariff hits commercial printing, book publishing, paper manufacturers, ink suppliers, fuel producers and equipment manufacturers. In particular, the tariff has forced substantially higher costs on a beleaguered newspaper industry, forcing news organizations to raise prices and cut staff and content. It particularly threatens smaller community newspapers unable to absorb the cost increases. This newspaper, among others in the industry, has taken an active role in asking Congress to curb the tariff. Even the American Forest and Paper Association has come out against the levy, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have begun working together to help. Now, the Commerce Department has lowered those duties to just more than 20 percent for one large Canadian producer, just under 10 percent for two other large producers, and as little as around 1 percent for others. Reducing the tariffs is a step in the right direction, albeit a temporary one. The U.S. International Trade Commission is scheduled to vote to set the final duties at the end of August and a ruling will come out Sept. 17. We urge them to drop the tariffs altogether.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES torpedoed and sunk in the Pacific last May. 50 Years Ago Aug. 22, 1968
Remembering Charlottesville
This weekend marked the one-year anniversary of the tragic events in Charlottesville that claimed the lives of Heather Heyer, Virginia State Police Lt. Jay Cullen, and Virginia State Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, a native of Nokesville. The event was marked around the country. OUR VIEW Locally, more than 60 people turned out for the Community Unity Against Hate rally at Conway Robinson State Forest in Gainesville Saturday. Jason Kessler, one of the organizers of last year’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, took his demonstration to Lafayette Square, across from the White House in Washington, Sunday. He asked for 400 supporters. In the end, fewer than 40 showed up, and that number was dwarfed by the police presence and thousands of counterprotesters. A massive police presence followed the group from the Vienna Metro station into the city, keeping the two sides separated. The muchfeared showdown between the white supremacists and counterprotesters did not happen. Some black-clad demonstrators lit smoke bombs and firecrackers and threw eggs in the direction of police, but for the most part, the event came off without violence. “While we are opposed adamantly to what we are going to hear, we know what our responsibility is: to protect First Amendment events, to protect Washingtonians and to protect our city,” D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser said last week. Bowser is correct on both counts. The right to free speech must always be preserved, and with it the right to be shouted down in the public square. Free speech that turns to violence and threatens the community as a whole, however, cannot be tolerated. The president tweeted: “I condemn all types of racism and acts of violence.” We couldn’t agree more. But all of us need to live by that creed every day. Actions, not just words. We owe that to Heather Heyer, Jay Cullen and Berke Bates.
‘We are not the enemy of the people’ The Boston Globe has reached out to editorial boards nationwide to write and publish editorials on Aug. 16 denouncing what the newspaper called a “dirty war against the free press.” More than 100 news outlets have signed on for the effort, from large dailies to small weeklies. This page has addressed the editorial board’s thoughts on that subject in recent weeks (“#notfakenews” — Aug. 1; “In defense of the truth” — June 27). We stand in solidarity with our colleagues across the country when we say, in the words of Marjorie Pritchard, deputy managing editor for the editorial page of The Boston Globe, “We are not the enemy of the people.”

It’s time for a change in the 1st Congressional District I can’t remember ever having a competitive congressional race in southern Fauquier (1st District) before, but this year we have a really great Democratic candidate in Vangie Williams. She was at the Bealeton El Agave meeting folks this weekend and I enjoyed talking with her. Vangie has never run for office before. She raised all six of her kids here and has worked for the federal government for 30 years in budgets/acquisitions and policy. Somewhere along the line she earned her MBA. Her husband is a small business owner and volunteer firefighter. I’m really excited about voting for a smart, policy-minded, middle-class woman fighting for
universal access to health care, reasonable gun law reforms and a huge federal tax break for teachers, cops, firefighters, EMTs and active duty military personnel. In this era of white power rallies and deep racial division, it will be wonderful to vote in the very first African-American woman to represent Virginia in Congress in our 229year history. Rep. Rob Wittman has been in office a long time. He’s a really nice guy. But for me, it’s time for a change. We need to get back to helping working families. Vangie Williams definitely has my vote.
Now that we have, through your paper, identified and voted for all the best businesses in Warrenton, I would like to nominate the one-mile stretch of the Blackwell Road from its intersection with Route 605 to Giant, as the filthiest road in Fauquier County. Today, as 16 large bags of cans
and bottles thrown from automobiles by thoughtless people are waiting to be picked up by the highway department, more refuse is already accumulating.

DEATH NOTICES AND OBITUARIES Both death notices and obituaries are ways to announce the death of an individual. A death notice, which appears in a newspaper, is paid for by the family of the deceased and contains whatever words and material that the family deems appropriate, as long as they abide by the rules of length and taste. Obituaries, on the other hand, are news stories over which the family has little control. It is usually up to the newspaper as to whether or not it will carry an obituary, and the family may not limit details about cause of death or circumstances. Many newspapers only take information about death notices and obituaries from funeral directors to guard against false announcements. Traditionally, death notices are printed in local newspapers, national newspapers, and various other publications, such as local religious or volunteer organization newsletters. Newspapers will usually charge a fee for publishing a death notice. The cost will depend on the on the newspaper and its pricing policies. To learn more about our funeral and memorial services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “The dead don’t die. They look on and help.” – D.H. Lawrence

AWS1 Jonathan R. Clement
June 10, 1987 - July 31, 2018 With his family by his side, Jonathan (Jon) Richard Clement was called home to his heavenly father on the afternoon of July 31st, 2018 in San Diego, California. Jon, a U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Aircrewman/Rescue Swimmer, suffered severe head injuries as a result of a fatal mishap while preforming a quick-turn post flight inspection of a U.S. Navy HH-60H Sea Hawk helicopter during training at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, CA. Jon is survived by his parents, Chris and Laura Clement of Vero Beach FL, his brother Christopher & wife Stephanie Clement, his niece Caroline Clement - all of Vero Beach FL, his brother Matthew Clement and niece Milania Clement of Clarkesville TN, his sister Rebecca Clement of Imperial Beach CA, grandparents Al and Jeanne Elias of Vero Beach FL, grandmother Joan Goddard of Manassas Park VA, nine (9) Aunts, ten (10) Uncles, forty four (44) first cousins and numerous 2nd cousins. Born at Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, Va. June 10, 1987 to Chris & Laura Clement, Jon, the second oldest of four children, spent the first 7 wonderful years of his life living in Herndon, VA. With both sides of his parents immediate families living in the Northern VA area at the time, family gatherings were always special to him as he had a plethora of older cousins (mostly boys) to “hang” and rough-house with. Jon spent many weekends with his parents, siblings, grandparent’s and numerous cousins, aunts and uncles at his grandparent’s lake house at Lake Anna learning to swim, fish, canoe, waterski, play cards and do pretty much all the things adventurous young boys do. In the summer of 1993, the family moved to Boca Raton, FL where Jon’s continued development into the man he eventually became really began to take hold. Jon played baseball, soccer and ice hockey in the local youth programs while attending St. Paul’s Lutheran Church School through the 6th Grade. Jon’s love for sports was nurtured by the countless professional football, baseball and hockey games that his grandparents took him and his brother Chris to. Despite moving to South Florida however, Jon’s passion and love for the Washington Redskins never faded. In 2000, Jon’s family moved to Vero Beach FL where Jon attended Gifford Middle School and later Vero Beach High School. While at Gifford M.S. Jon played soccer, ran AAU track and played youth baseball. At Vero Beach H.S., Jon played baseball his freshman and sophomore years and football his freshman, sophomore and junior years. Jon graduated from Vero Beach High School in 2006. Although Jon was a very good student, he never intended or expressed a desire to go to college, but that he would rather go to work and get his “life” started as he put it. After working construction for The Hill Group the summer after graduation, Jon was hired by Piper Aircraft Co. and worked as an apprentice in their sheet metal shop. Jon’s supervisors at Piper did not know it at the time, but Jon had already laid out a road map that would have him leaving Piper to start his Navy career the following summer. Jon enlisted in the Navy in June of 2007 and began his career with basic training at Naval Station Great Lakes, IL. Following basic training he arrived in San Diego to begin the journey that led him to requesting aircrew training in Pensacola, FL. He excelled in the program as an Aviation Rescue Swimmer and Aircrewman. Following the training in Pensacola, Jon he was transferred to HELSEACOMBATRON THREE (HSC-3) in San Diego, CA where he completed Fleet transition training in 2009 and was officially designated a deployable Naval Aircrewman/Rescue Swimmer. Jon was then assigned to the HSC-12 “Golden Falcons” crewing the MH-60S Seahawk helicopter from 2009-2014. During that time frame, Jon went on two 9-month deployments aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On the second deployment in 2012, just by sheer coincidence, Jon found himself serving with his younger brother Matthew whose squadron, the “Vigilantes” of VFA-151 was also assigned to the Lincoln. Jon’s third deployment was aboard the U.S.S Washington (CVN-73) crewing the MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter where his squadron, HSC-12, was highly instrumental in supporting humanitarian relief operations in the Philippine Islands, rescuing survivors, delivering food, water and materials following the devastating Typhoon Haiyan. Following Jon’s three WESTPAC deployments, he was assigned to shore duty at HSCWEPCOLPAC (HSC Weapons School) at NAS North Island, San Diego, CA where he served as a Seahawk Weapons and Tactics Instructor (SWTI) from 2014 to 2017. After completion of this shore duty in June of 2017, Jon was assigned to the elite “Fire Hawks” of HSC-85 where he continued to serve providing fleet honed training and leadership to his aircrew shipmates in addition to himself serving as an HH60-H Sea Hawk Door Gunner and NATOPS Leading Petty Officer providing dedicated rotary wing support to U.S. Special Operations Command. Jon’s personal Awards and commendations include five (5) Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, three (3) Good Conduct Medals and a Flag Letter of Commendation. Additionally, he received various unit awards to include a Meritorious Unit Citation and the Humanitarian Service Medal.

KETTLE RUN FOOTBALL PREVIEW
ANOTHER CHUMLEY IN CHARGE
PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD
2017 was a banner year for Kettle Run, which went 9-3, beat Liberty for the first time since 2011 and won a playoff game for the first time since 2013. Eleven starters return for third-year coach Charlie Porterfield. “I think we have the pieces,” says Porterfield, whose Cougars open at Manassas Park on Aug. 24.
With Gabe as QB, Cougars’ offense should remain potent By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
As Kettle Run’s new starting quarterback, Gabe Chumley may have to deal with a “Casen of mistaken identity.” In the pocket this summer, he has sometimes looked like his older brother, Casen Chumley, who graduated this past spring as the most prolific passer in Kettle Run history. Gabe Chumley has many of the same qualities that his brother showed last football season en route the Cougars’ first playoff appearance since 2014 and their best record since 2011. During that 2017 season, the younger Chumley boy served as the Kettle Run’s backup quarterback while starting defensively as a safety or linebacker. He has since given up his defensive duties to focus on leading the Cougars’ offense as a senior quarterback. “He’s been really impressive” taking over as the No. 1 quarterback, Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said, “which is no easy task to ask of a kid. “He’s so talented a kid on defense that we almost didn’t want to lose him” on that side of the ball, Por-
“It’s easier to find another safety than a high school quarterback.” – COACH CHARLIE PORTERFIELD
terfield said, “but it’s easier to find another safety than a high school quarterback.” Porterfield also hopes an experienced offensive line will help facilitate Chumley’s transition to starting quarterback. That unit up front has three returning starters in all-district junior left guard Logan Rapp, third-year starting senior center Daniel Baier and right guard Owen Whisenant. “That’s always a key to any successful program, having a good offensive line,” Porterfield said. “I think that really helps a team, kind of like the foundation of a house.” Junior right guard Zack Bayliff and senior left guard Ryan Twomey round out Kettle Run’s offensive line. “They’ve gotten to the point now that they’re really comfortable with one another,” Porterfield said of that entire unit. “I’m doing less instructing at this point. So we’re able to do a little bit more intricate things.” Rapp, Whisenant and Baier are

The Cougars also have six returning starters on defense, so they appear to have potential for another strong season despite losing all three of their 2017 all-region players to graduation in Andrew Pickett, Jarrett Little and Max Delsignore. Kettle Run entered that 2017 season with consecutive 3-7 records in 2015 and 2016 after an impressive 37-14 run over four seasons that included a pair state semifinal appearances. The Cougars fell only two wins short of again qualifying for state in 2017, losing to Liberty in the semifinals of the Class 4 Region C tournament after beating the Eagles
during the regular season to win the “Fauquier County championship” en route to a 9-3 final record. “I’ve found that to be the challenge – coming off the nine-win season – how to keep that going,” Porterfield said. “That’s what we’re striving for. “I think we have the pieces,” he said. “I’m optimistic about the season.” See COUGARS, Page 13

FAUQUIER FIELD HOCKEY PREVIEW
Reloaded Falcons look strong across the field By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
As usual, expectations are strong in Warrenton as Fauquier returns 10 players from a 13-4 squad. Several girls are moving to new slots as coach Brooke Settle tweaks an experienced Falcon squad capable of making another deep run in postseason play. “It’s going to take one or two games for us to figure it out. We may make some changes in the lineup and positions,” said Settle, whose squad opens Aug. 23 at Patriot. The Falcons must replace graduated leading scorer Jo Quinn St. Ledger (13 goals), third-leading scorer Caroline Diehl, defender Madelyn Granger and two other seniors. “Every year you always lose some key positions,” Settle said. “But if you have a good program and have a good feeder program, you always find the next person to step into those shoes. I never feel I am devastated by a senior class loss.” Senior co-captain Meredyth Rankin said to expect a little early season rust. “I feel once we start playing games and come together we will be strong,” said Rankin. “There is a lot of potential. We just need to start playing again and get back into the swing of things.” The Falcons have experience and talent throughout the lineup. Senior co-captain Madison Filson was a first-team all-region and sec-

Rankin is the key center midfielder between Fallon Goemmer and Ella Irvin, while Lucy Arnold, Jamie Renzi, Lindsey Finks and Ruby Wrigley are the starting forwards. Abby McCusker, Zoe Savage, Morgan Gatti, Caroline Austin and Ashley McGregor provide quality depth, Settle said. “I’ve got a starting group that is serious and dedicated about hockey,” Settle said, pointing to summer activities and play with travel teams. “To have a full starting lineup to do that is impressive.” Settle emphasized many of her charges have the ability to play multiple positions, providing the flexibil-

That is what is going to help us,” she said. ity to make mid-game adjustments. The Falcons advanced to the state semifinals two years ago, then fell short last fall despite being the No. 2 seed for the regional tournament. It goes without saying this strong unit wants to get back to states. “As they say, you practice like you play. I think if we can achieve that, our season will be successful,” said Filson. “I think we have a lot of heart.” New this year is the debut of a Northwestern District tournament involving FHS, Liberty, Kettle Run and Culpeper. “I think it’s a big deal. That’s one more goal to reach for,” Settle said. “One more little carrot to provide additional focus.”
Settle underscored a need to avoid complacency. Every regular-season game counts toward regional seeding, she noted, so each game will be analyzed to continue advancement. “Just can’t look at it as a win and walk away from it. We will need to get better every time we play,” she said.

Special to the Times
With the Aug. 20 season-opening contest approaching rapidly, Kettle Run field hockey coach Beth Todd sees three primary areas where substantial improvement is needed over last fall’s 6-12 squad.

Anna Lee powers the Kettle Run field hockey team.
The first is on offense as the Cougars suffered shutouts in 11 of their 12 losses. Most of the experienced attackers graduated with the exception of current senior Anna Lee. Todd sees more goals coming this year. “We started half way through last season putting a huge emphasis on scoring. This year we’re starting early,” said Todd. “We also have a few players who are eager to get on the scoreboard and the extra practice should help them on their way.” Todd says the coaching staff is working at “finding the right places for each player, which will just take a bit of time.” Lee, the leading returning scorer, foresees help after witnessing the effort during the offseason. “There was [an] amazing turnout during our summer open fields, where everyone has been working hard for the upcoming season,” Lee said. Todd has nine returnees, but many were new last year and did not log much varsity time. Now they’re better after joining travel teams. “Many of the players who have made the jump to varsity this season
played with the Blue Ridge Titans last spring and that experience brought their skills up substantially,” Todd said. “Happily, many of them now have experience playing against college-bound hockey players, so I’m confident they will handle the transition well.” The coach also praised Lee and fellow seniors Samantha Muma, Ffiona Coulson and Jillian Bennett for expediting the team’s growth. “The seniors have been great role models to the younger players,” Todd said. “As well as developing their voices on the field.” The Cougars also must find another goalkeeper after Sarina Harlow graduated, and Todd speaks confidently about Caitlyn Hewitt and Allyssa Space. Hewitt missed the season due to an injury, but she recovered to play in the offseason. Todd also expects Space to continue her improvement after moving up from the junior varsity level. Coulson, Muma, Amanda Deliee and Meagan Maloney should form a solid defense in front of the goal. The third concern is developing the ability to maintain focus for an entire contest.

First game: Aug. 20 at Forest Park “My goal for this season is to finish the whole game strong. We gave up too many games last season in the last five minutes or less,” Todd lamented. “We can’t let that happen this season.” Cara Preston and Paige Proctor are other veterans, with Jessica Wood, Maddie White, Annabelle Shefer, Marley Rowell, Maddy Powers, Aubrey Kearns and Katelyn Grundy being the newcomers.

Meetze Horse Park gears up for area riders By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
With more horses than public school kids in Fauquier County, it’s long been a mystery why there’s no public riding facility. More than a decade ago, the Fauquier Equestrian Forum – now called RideFauquier – began work to develop Meetze Station Horse Park on 200 acres of county land east of Warrenton by the Fauquier Education Farm. Through donations, the non-profit group has constructed a trail head, a temporary parking lot and four miles of riding trails. The group hosts fundraising trail rides and other events every year to pay for the ongoing project. But there’s tons left to do, says RideFauquier officer Jinx Fox. “We opened public trails to riders last fall,” Fox said. “Now [we’re

An Aug. 25 RideFauquier benefit is being held at the Black Horse Inn, Fox said. There will be dinner, drinks, a live raffle, and dancing to Peter Pavone, who provides tribute to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Jack Benny and more. Tickets can be purchased at ridefauquier.com, or find flyers at the Black Horse Inn or at Horse Country Saddlery in Warrenton.

The Virginia Department of Agriculture confirmed this year’s first in-state case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) this week in a Quarter Horse mare from Suffolk. The mare was transported to the North Carolina State Veterinary school hospital in late July, but supportive therapy wasn’t enough to save her, and she subsequently died. The horse was reported to have been vaccinated incompletely. The EEE vaccine is one of six recommended annual inoculations in Virginia. The mosquito-borne disease has an 80 to 90 percent mortality rate. Sometimes called sleeping sickness, EEE is a transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito. The illness causes inflammation or swelling of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include impaired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, irregular staggering gait, paralysis, convulsions and death. Once a horse has been bitten by an infected mosquito, it may take three to 10 days for signs of the disease to appear. Humans can also get EEE, and because of the high death rate among those infected, it’s regarded as one

The season’s first confirmation of the mosquito-borne Eastern Equine Encephalitis was made by the state vet lab last week. of the more serious mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S. Like horses, human symptoms include mild flu-like response. Thirty-five percent of people who develop the disease die, and 35 percent of those who survive EEE have mild to severe neurologic aftereffects from the disease. Fortunately, though, human cases of EEE are rare, and it is certain that horses cannot transmit the viral disease, to each other or to humans.

FAUQUIER VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW
SLAM, BAM. FALCONS LOOK LOADED AGAIN By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Fauquier’s volleyball team won 22 matches last fall to tie the 2016 squad for most wins in a season. Could that mark be in jeopardy? Coach Diana Story returns three first-team all-Northwestern District performers and one second-team performer. Three other varsity veterans and a senior transfer are on board to give the Falcons the look of a Northwestern District juggernaut. Experience will be a key strength, Story said of the seniors’ leadership. However, after last week’s two scrimmages, she strongly cautions this group cannot afford to become overconfident, pointing to some early concerns about effort and intensity. “You can’t just rely on your laurels and think people are going to hand [success] to you,” she stressed. “There have been flashes of things that have worked very well, but we get to a place where they stand on defense. We can’t do that. That’s something we really need to hone in on.” Story said digging balls and crisp passing will make the team better since they have “a plethora of hitters.” Some concerns should be alleviated once the curtain lifts on the season. “A lot of that come from being comfortable on the court and talking.

Rachel Crowe and the Falcons went 22-9 last year. More greatness is expected when the season starts next Tuesday. That’s what we lack right now. Once we get comfortable with each other, we will get better,” she said.
“We boost each other’s confidence. If someone makes a mistake, we’ll go up to them and say ‘That’s okay. You’ll get the next one.’”

The team captains expect another good season, all hoping to advance to the state tournament. “We don’t want to get cocky and not try hard enough,” said Rachel Crowe. “We need to push every single day in the gym to make the team and yourself better.” The Falcons have four captains, with seniors Crowe and Megan Constantino returning in that role. Classmates Kiki Scott and Jules Oravec join the quartet. Oravec, Scott and Crowe were first-team all-Northwestern District selections last season, with Constantino adding a second-team nod. “We just need to play more together, find each other’s weaknesses and how we can build off that,” Scott said. Oravec said the long relationship between the seniors could make this a special year. “I know we can make it to states because we’ve been playing together since we were eight years old,” she said. “I expect them to be leaders on the court and off the court to show the younger girls what we do as a team and what we do as a program,” Story said, also including seniors Kayla Pavlock, Jennifer Adgate and Molly Ayers, a transfer from Highland. Sophomore Kate Wilvert is the seventh varsity returnee. Newcomers include juniors Olivia Eisele and Morgan Thomas, sophomores

Cougars planning another playoff run COUGARS, from Page 9
Defense
Kettle Run lost many of its defensive stalwarts to graduation following last season. So the Cougars may need to rely on their offense even more this season after scoring 371 points last fall – their third-highest total in program history. “I feel pretty good about where we’re at,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said. “We have some questions we have to answer, but we’ve had a good [preseason training] camp so far.” Those questions include how the Cougars will replace defensive lineman Jarrett Little and linebacker Andrew Pickett. Little led Kettle Run last season with 11 sacks and 15 tackles-for-loss, while Pickett led the team with 123 tackles and five forced fumbles. Pickett and quarterback Casen Chumley were two of the six Cougars who graduated this past June as Class 4 Northwestern all-district players. “Replacing Pickett is in the same vein of replacing Casen,” Porterfield said. “Three-year starters and leaders on both sides of the ball.” But Porterfield trusts senior linebackers Walt Thompson (returning starter) and Mark Suthard. “Mark is very much the same kind of kid as Walt is,” Porterfield said. “Works hard; going to be in the right spot; not afraid of contact.” In the secondary, Kettle Run lost one of its interception leaders to graduation as cornerback Chance Morrison left with three in 2017, but safety Jack Kroll returned this season as third-year starter after also claiming three interceptions last fall as a junior. “Tremendous football player,” Porterfield said. “He’s surprised me daily … with a plays he makes. “That kid really understands what’s going on,” the coach said. “He’s never frazzled. … He’s always in the right spot and he gets everyone lined up. It’s really fun to watch him.” Kettle Run also has a pair of thirdyear defensive starters in senior ends Logan Morris and Chris Kallighan.
Offense
As Kettle Run’s all-time leading passer, Casen Chumley made wide recover David Haiss his favorite target during the 2017 season. So Haiss graduated ranked second on the Cougars’ all-time list for single-season receiving yards with an 820-yard performance. His eight touchdowns as a senior also tied for the second-highest total in program history, matching tight end Max Delsignore, who also graduated this past spring. Junior Levi Carver, meanwhile, is a returning starter for Kettle Run’s receiver crops, which includes senior Shannon Ferguson. “I feel pretty good about that crew,” Kettle Run coach Charlie

Kettle Run is counting on returnees like Ben Heflin (above) and key new starters to replicate last year’s glory. Playmakers Ridge Scott, Cade Campbell and Levi Carver should fuel the offense, while the defense must replace several star tacklers.

They understand it’s a competition [for playing time], but that they’re also on the same team.” Similarly, seniors Ridge Scott and Cade Campbell will likely share time as running backs after they both finished last season with at least 700 yards each. “That’s one of the positions I feel pretty lucky about,” Porterfield said. “We were able to kind of play the hot hand, which was really beneficial for us, especially having a fresh back in the fourth quarter.”

Brewing up a storm at Old Bust Head
Vint Hill barley-and-hop factory centered on tap handles and community By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Surfing on an ocean of beer might be an apt description for Old Bust Head Brewing Company. Since opening on Aug. 11, 2014, the popular brewery has produced 20,000 barrels of beer. That’s five million pints; a bit more than the proverbial 99 bottles of beer on the wall. About 12 percent of that production is brewed for other breweries who lack capacity or for retail accounts that desire an “in-house” brand. Some 25 percent flows out of its taproom kegs with the remaining being distributed to restaurants and grocery stores throughout Virginia and D.C. The three founders and managing partners, Ike and Julie Broaddus and Charles Kling, view their performance to date as an opening act. The firm will celebrate their fourth anniversary with plans to continue building their juggernaut while deepening ties with Fauquier County. “We’re grateful for our loyal customers and have confidence that if we keep making great beer and providing a fun, family-oriented environment, we’ll be around for decades to come,” said Ike Broaddus. Averaging 1,500 guests a week in its taproom, some 300,000 people have enjoyed the company’s flavorful beers since opening day. Equally important, a vibrant business community has sprung up around the establishment with no signs of abating. “Since the brewery opened its doors, more than 20 businesses have moved into one of the renovated buildings surrounding Old Bust Head,” said Ike Broaddus. “We didn’t expect that, but we’re thrilled to be part of it.” Being part of it is an understate-

Baby goats were a hit at Old Bust Head’s farm anniversary celebration on Aug. 11. ment. The brewery itself ignited the entrepreneurial spirit that flourishes on the former army base. When the building that houses the brewery was purchased it included 10 acres of other buildings in the immediate area. A combination of increased traffic flow and savvy marketing saw those acres bloom with a variety of businesses that grew in tandem with Old Bust Head. “Once the brewery came a lot of people were coming to Vint Hill,” said Julie Broaddus. “The parking lot was full every weekend.” Customers realized other businesses were nearby and they began patronizing them. “We were the catalyst for their growth.” Recognizing the potential, the Broadduses purchased an additional 10 acres of buildings in Vint Hill less than two years ago – including some historic barns that date to the original
cattle farm. They continue to find viable businesses to lease them. Working with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the Broadduses will have plaques installed on the barns in September acknowledging their historical importance. “Ike has expanded his love of Vint Hill and has been renovating and leasing space for even more businesses to come in. We do not flip the buildings. We were worried about what a developer might do to those buildings that would impact the feel of the community,” said Julie Broaddus. Today, there is a fermented tea shop, a café, a coffee shop, a gymnastics studio, dance studio, catering company, wine distributor, graphic design studio, hair salon, the previously established Cold War Museum and more. The Broadduses renovated space for most of them and leased
it to the divergent group to create a thriving business environment. “One of Ike’s talents is helping people start and build a successful business. He enables people to come and make a success of their business. That’s mostly what he is doing now,” said Julie Broaddus, who spends her time running the brewery. All of this activity was unfolding as the craft beer industry was beginning to cool off after years of torrid growth. There are more than 6,000 craft breweries in the U.S. today and some 250 in Virginia. “We were the 40th brewery in Virginia four years ago. We have to keep inventing new recipes and exploring new styles,” said Ike Broaddus. Be assured OBH will be working hard to maintain market share. The owners have the smarts and work ethic to stay relevant during any shakeout. See OBH, Page 16

With Ike Broaddus focused on the Vint Hill business community at large, Julie manages the day-today brewery operation. The production team is headed by Kling, their award-winning master brewer, and head brewer Thorne Watkins. A special Belgian Quad was released during their fourth anniversary celebration held Aug. 11. It’s a high gravity beer – weighing in at 11 percent alcohol – that exhibits a “bold, dark and rich malty” flavor. “Everyone here is really excited about it. It carried a special anniversary wax seal. We’ll have it on tap and in 500 milliliter bottles,” said Julie Broaddus. Their ever-popular Octoberfest was released the same day. But an anniversary can only be special in certain ways since every week sees a swirl of events unfold in the taproom.

one of the biggest challenges facing a thirsty beer hound is what beer to choose. OBH doesn’t make it easy. There are 18 to 20 beers on tap at any given time. Decision making has never been more fun. The brewery has felt the impact of growing competition since opening. “We definitely noticed other beer options out there. But we’ve always been about Fauquier County. It’s been about our community, the environment and the beer. Every day, I get at
least one Google five-star review in my mailbox,” said Julie Broaddus. She believes other breweries can’t compete with the quality of their beer and the attention they dedicate to the local community. “You can’t pretend to be genuine if you are not. We work hard to create a place that makes our guests comfortable. Fauquier has a unique sense of place that we respect,” said Julie Broaddus. It also helps that the beer taps are constantly rotating with new brews. One of the most popular is their Irish Style Red Ale and has been served since day one. In addition to the taproom, there is a beer garden out front and seating out back. Food is available from food trucks Thursday through Sunday. On Wednesdays, the Covert Cafe delivers anything on its menu directly to guests’ tables. “We have Moo Thru ice cream and Monkey Popcorn every day and customers are always welcome to bring their own picnic,” said Julie Broaddus. On busy days the entire brewery can seat up to 600 people. In reflecting on the exciting past four years, Julie Broaddus said, “It was a big decision to open the brewery. For me it was like having a baby. If you do it, you have to be committed. I knew the brewery would be like that to me. And it’s become completely true. “If you put your heart into it, it gives you great returns. It becomes ingrained in who you are.” For more information on Old Bust Head Brewing Company’s hours, events, beers and more drop by www.oldbusthead.com For wine takes and more, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

Fauquier Chamber of Commerce reaches for brass ring Goal: Vibrant growth without sprawl and crawl By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
The year was 1599 when the curtain lifted on the first performance of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” at London’s Globe Theatre. It was also the year the first chamber of commerce was created in Marseille, France. The chamber had a tough act to follow. But, in the ensuing centuries, the organization has done quite nicely, thank you. Today, there are more than 13,000 chambers in the World Chamber Registry and some 4,000 in the U.S. headed by at least one full-time staff person; thousands more are operating stateside as volunteer-led organizations. All of them represent some 3 million businesses nationwide. When the Bard of Avon penned his play’s famous lines, “Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your ears,” the chamber was listening. Here in Fauquier County we have the modern equivalent of the first chamber president embodied in Joe Martin. Martin, 60, exemplifies a 21st century executive with his tall, fit and amicable style. His qualifications reflect “to the manor born” but with the accent on downhome. He is clearly a mirror of the community he serves. Born and raised in Manassas, Martin has chamber business in his DNA. His father, grandfather and he were all former chairmen of the Prince William Chamber of Commerce where his family operated Dudley Martin Chevrolet for more than 60 years. To this day, they are still the only three-generation chairmen of the Prince William Chamber. “I was exposed to it very early. I’ve got community involvement in my soul,” said Martin. In addition to working for the family business for 14 years, he also logged time running an audio marketing firm. “Throughout my different careers I got involved in quite a few different organizations including serving on the boards of the Manassas School Education Foundation, the American Small Business Coalition and the International On Hold Messaging Association. Of course, those were all volunteer positions,” he said. Over time it occurred to Martin that his volunteer work had provided him a wealth of experience and seeking a career in chamber work made sense. “I started soul searching. I’d had had all these volunteer leadership positions and thought, ‘Why not work at an association or chamber and actually get paid for it?’” His timing was perfect since the Fauquier Chamber was looking for a new president. “Five people called me and said, ‘Joe, you’ve got to apply for that position.’” About 44 other people had thrown their hat in the ring, so the job was not a lock. “They brought it down to four finalists and in late winter of 2010 they hired me.”
The challenge
Early on, Martin encountered a singular issue of importance. Fauquier

Joe Martin is president of the Fauquier Chamber. County had two active chambers in a geographical area more suited to one. As he prepared to take charge in January 2011, a question was frequently posed to him: Are you going out there to mend fences? “I told them, no. I was going out to build bridges.” It was serendipitous that the new president had been successful in merging two Prince William chambers so he was up to the challenge. But it was not his immediate goal. Even though he lived just one county over he was surprised how separate the two counties were. “My initial goal was to get to know the community and get to know the leaders within the community and both chambers. I wanted to find out where our synergies were and where we could partner together and find out what strategic partnerships were best for the entire business community,” Martin said. In short, he proceeded slow and thoughtfully. “There were a lot of bridges to build and nothing happens fast in Fauquier.” For more than five years incremental progress was made on knitting the two chambers relationships. What emerged was a “Unity Plan” that avoided the expense and difficulties of a formal merger since many members of the Greater Warrenton Chamber of Commerce were also members of the Fauquier Chamber. In the end, the unity of the two chambers accomplished important goals, among them the pragmatic advantage of members not having to pay two dues and attend separate events. “However, we never changed our mutual focus or goals,” Martin said. When the Unity Plan finally came to fruition, people told him they were pleased with what he had accomplished. “No, no, no. It wasn’t about me. It was about we,” said Martin. “I’m hired to run the day-to-day operation but it’s really up to our board and our leadership to establish the governance of where we want to go. I’m an integral part of that. But without strong leadership in both chambers the Unity Plan would have never come together,” said Martin.
Goals
Today, Martin wants the Fauquier Chamber to be a strong and a leading voice on economic development within the community. The organization seeks to be a “connector,” bringing all member businesses in contact with one another so the best services can be brought to bear on building a vibrant business environment. “We also want to be an advocate at the state level and, if needed, at the federal level for our businesses,” Martin said. The organization has about 500 members and sees the opportunity to
grow to between 600 and 700. The annual dues range in cost from $160 to $250 based on the size of the company. To accomplish its expansion and business goals, the chamber board consists of 20 members with an executive committee of eight members. The chair of the board is Margie Markham with Summit Community Bank. “It became apparent to me after becoming board chair my role would be to move the chamber forward,” said Markham. “There have been a lot changes over the last few years and my vision is to create an organization that’s looking toward the future. “Joe has been a real asset during this period and a good spokesperson. His contribution has been so important.” To underscore Markham’s goals, Martin, a member of the board of the Virginia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives, recently attended its annual conference in Harrisonburg. “Margie had me to go down there and just think out of the box,” said Martin. Markham wanted to know how the chamber could best help the business community and the community at-large.” What dictated new strategies? “Communications for one. We have a very vibrant young professional council. The way the millennials communicate with each other can be very different in how the rest of us communicate,” said Martin. “So many people today are conducting business online. We have to be focused on how we can best facilitate and assist with that approach to business.
It’s really what the chamber is all about. We are here to assist. We are here to advocate. Whether it’s a legal issue, a connector issue or networking issue, we have to be the purveyor of the best form of communication possible.” Beyond serving as a catalyst for the business community, Martin believes there is also a community-wide service obligation. As an example, seven years ago he was surprised to learn there was no event to honor county public safety professionals who had gone above and beyond the call of duty. In 2012, the chamber established its annual “Valor Awards” program. In April of this year, 55 individuals were recognized for their exceptional work. “We felt that even if it didn’t necessarily fit the chamber’s mission and vision, the awards did fill a community need.” With his experience at the helm of the Fauquier Chamber, what are Martin’s thoughts on his job today? “A few months into taking this job I fell in love with Fauquier County,” said Martin. “I fell in love with the business community. I’ve seen the changes that have happened over the last seven years and the wonderful places we can go and the heights we can achieve. “There are a lot of unique things this business community can achieve without sprawl and crawl. And it excites me every day to drive into the chamber office and know all that is ahead of us.” For wine takes and more, visit hagarty-on-wine.com

FHS class to celebrate its golden anniversary By John T. Toler Associate Editor (FHS Class of ’65)
Since it opened in the fall of 1963, Fauquier High School – which consolidated Warrenton, Marshall and Cedar-Lee High School in Bealeton – has graduated 54 senior classes. Of course, the Class of 1964 is special, since it was the first, but the Class of 1968, which will be holding its 50th Year Reunion on the weekend of Sept. 14-16, is also special, since it was the first class to graduate that started at FHS as eighth graders in ‘63 and spent their entire high school careers there. The Class of ’68 held its first reunion in 1978. A committee was formed to mark the 10-year anniversary, and the first reunion was held that year at the old Fauquier Springs Country Club. Since then they have held reunions every five years, building up to the big one this year. One of the major players in setting up the reunions and keeping the traditions is Connie Moffett Daniels, who lives in Harrisonburg. Different people have worked on the committee over the years; for the 50th, members include Bette Jane Rigg Crane, Jo Glaettli Brent, Kenny and Linda Eddins Kipps, Ray Baker and Karen Neudling Corl. As each five-year anniversary approaches, Connie and members of the committee start making plans, selecting venues for meals and events, and advising out-of-town guests about overnight accommodations.
Senior Squad members of the varsity football team were (from left) Clarence Gill, Sam Cook, Frank Banks, Danny Fishback, John Hughes, Larry Harless, John Leazer, Steve Moffett, Skip Schwab and Almon Baxter. The 1968 varsity cheerleading squad included (front row, from left) Yvette Holmes, Diane Cassell and Melanie Jones, (middle) Linda Robinson and Elizabeth Allen, and rear: Pann Ross, Linda Griffith and Libus Kehoe.
Seen enjoying the 45th class reunion (2013) were Connie Moffett Daniels, Jo Gleattli Brent and Jim Embrey.
Special bonds
Clearly, holding these reunions has been very important to members of the Class of ’68, perhaps because of the challenges they faced coming in as eighth graders. “The students were brought in from the three existing county high schools, where we were strong sports rivals, and most of us didn’t know each other,” recalled Connie Daniels. In addition, FHS was integrated that year, and there were concerns that black and white students wouldn’t get along. “There were a few incidents, but for the most part, we blended well,” said Daniels. “We became great friends, and after graduation, most of us stayed in touch.” In addition to the reunions every five years, the committee has maintained a class database by contacting the graduates or their families to get their addresses. About 80 percent of the 277 in the ’68 graduating class have been located. “Currently, we are still trying to find 47 of our classmates,” said Daniels. “Coincidentally, there are 47 de-

Not many classes rally in large numbers when one of its members is in crisis, or when there is a death. This one does,” Daniels added. “With the introduction of the internet, class members have been able to renew old friendships and keep in closer contact. “Whenever something happens of note, we post it on our Facebook page and send a mass email to the class.”
Marking the 50th
This year, 50th anniversary reunion activities start on Friday night, Sept. 14, with dinner and drinks at McMahon’s Irish Pub and Restaurant in Warrenton. Saturday at 1
p.m., there will be a tour of Fauquier High School, which has certainly changed a lot since ’68. The “Main Event” will be Saturday night, with dinner at Stoneridge Event Center north of Warrenton. There will be a cash bar from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m. A photographer will be on hand to take a group picture. The weekend will conclude with a 10 a.m. brunch at Northside 29 Restaurant in New Baltimore. Invitations with details and reservation forms were sent out in June to the 183 class members currently in the database.

Slave Dwelling Project remembers Fauquier’s past By John Toler
Associate Editor
COURTESY OF THE SLAVE DWELLING PROJECT
The Slave Dwelling Project founder Joseph McGill.
Book Talk: ‘Last Lynching in Northern Virginia’ Thursday, Aug. 23 6:30-8 p.m. The Fauquier Historical Society, 10 Ashby St., Warrenton, will present a book talk in the courtyard. Jim Hall, a resident of Fredericksburg, is the author of “The Last Lynching in Northern Virginia,” a nonfiction account of the death of Shedrick Thompson in northern Fauquier County in 1932. He has traveled throughout central Virginia talking to more than 25 civic groups
about lynching in Virginia. His discussion will focus on the two known lynchings in Fauquier County and on the inclusion of them in the new National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama. Purchase a book in the gift shop, or bring your copy from home for a book signing following the talk. Tickets can be purchased at the door or through eventbrite.com $5 per person | FHS Members Free.

Those interested in Fauquier County history will have a unique opportunity to learn about one of the lesser-known aspects of our past on Aug. 25-26 by participating in The Slave Dwelling Project, “…a nationally renowned nonprofit working to preserve and interpret the buildings that once housed enslaved people.” It was founded by Joseph McGill, a program officer with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Over the years, McGill has studied slave cabins at more than 90 historical sites in 18 states, giving lectures, conducting programs and sleeping in the dwellings. “Now that I have the attention of the public by sleeping in extant slave dwellings, it is time to wake up and deliver the message that the people who lived in these structures were not a footnote in American history,” notes McGill. Locally, the project event has been organized by the Afro-American Historical Society, the Warrenton Antiquarian Society, the Clifton Institute, Virginia State Parks and the Piedmont Environmental Council. It is noteworthy that according to the 1860 census, there were 1,185 slaveholders in Fauquier County, and that 10,455 enslaved people were housed in 2,146 slave dwellings scattered throughout the county. Very few survive today, and the
focus of The Slave Dwelling Project here is on three restored properties: the slave dwellings of Mount Bleak at Sky Meadows State Park near Delaplane; at Clifton, 6712 Blantyre Road, north of Warrenton; and the Warrenton Antiquarian Society’s Weston Farmstead, at 4476 Weston Road, Casanova.
A powerful experience
The continuous, 24-hour hands-on program begins at 10 a.m. on Aug. 25 with a kick-off lecture by project founder McGill, presented at the Afro-American Historical Society, at 4243 Loudoun Ave. in The Plains. He will be introduced by Kelley Deetz, director of programming, education and visitor engagement at Stratford Hall. The lecture will focus on the plight of enslaved and free African Americans. Doors open at 9 a.m. Tours and demonstrations will be conducted at the three slave dwelling sites on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., where visitors will be able to meet and converse with re-enactors in the roles of enslaved people. At Sky Meadows, interpreters will explain kitchen-quarters and laundry; at Clifton, hearth and outdoor cooking will be demonstrated by Dontavius Williams, along with hands-on archaeology conducted by Kelley Deetz. At Weston, demonstrations will include a working blacksmith shop and farm animals, as well as butter-making. Traditional children’s

At Bull Run library: Learn about Dumfries’ history Aug. 21 Did you know that Dumfries was the site of official importance during colonial Prince William County? During that time, the town was a bustling port and the location of the county seat. “It’s where the courthouse was, so all of the activities in Prince William County leading up to the beginning of the Revolutionary War happened in Dumfries,” said historian Jim Bish, a long-time social studies teacher who retired from Woodbridge High School. Bish will discuss the county’s involvement in the Revolutionary War during his talk “Revolutionary Prince William County, 1765 to 1781” at the Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center for Genealogy and Local History, or RELIC, at the Bull Run Regional Library at 7 p.m., Aug. 21. A document called “The Prince William Resolves” protests the closing of Boston Harbor after the Boston Tea party. That document was signed in Dumfries. “It was also in Dumfries where they began to form the first Prince William
County independent cadet company, which was the independent company that preceded the official Virginia regiments,” Bish said. “George Washington was the head of Prince William County’s independent company in 1774 up through the time he became continental commander in 1775.” Also happening this month, Don Wilson of RELIC, will discuss “Genealogy 201: Beyond the Basics” at 11 a.m. Aug. 16. The class delves into the intricacies of advanced genealogy research, which can be a tricky business. Old Census records, for instance, can be confusing, Wilson said. “When you’re using Census records, it’s not just a matter of plugging in a name and getting the answer,” Wilson said. “Many times, you plug in the name you want, and you don’t get any results because many of the old clerks didn’t ask you how you spelled your name; they spelled it phonetically. Then when the indexers got hold of the list, they misread the names. It could have ended being almost anything.”

Wilson said people who attend the class will also learn how to use newspapers, passenger lists, maps, books, military records and manuscripts for research and to add detail to family history. “It’s the kind of research you would be doing to write a biographical article about anyone whether you are trying to find someone in the 20th century or someone in the 17th century,” he said. Wilson said people find RELIC useful for the amount of documenta-
tion at the library. “We have access to a wide variety of research materials and have trained staff who can show people how to use those sources to find the answers they are looking for,” he said. While it’s not necessary, Wilson suggests that people attend “Genealogy 101: Getting Started” before attending the 201 class. RELIC tries to run both events about once a quarter.

Fit for a king: Warrenton’s crown jewel is a treasure for all The Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility’s gift of wellness By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
For visitors and new residents to Warrenton, the first impression of the building might be, “wow.” Sited on a landscaped and verdant property just outside the town, it could easily be mistaken for the headquarters of a high-flying tech company. Instead, it belongs to all the residents of Fauquier County and beyond and has become beloved by those whose quality of life is enhanced by its existence. Welcome to the $23 million WARF. Please dock your body and step inside the world of wellness. Opened in September 2007, the 59,738 square foot facility features an 11 lane, 25-yard-by-25-meter, 364,000-gallon indoor competition pool; a 3,600-gallon therapeutic spa and a 68,000-gallon leisure pool with a water slide, lazy river with a zero-depth entry for easy access by youngsters and seniors. Oh, then there’s the 3,200 square foot fitness room equipped with cycles, treadmills, elliptical trainers, circuit training gear and free weights. The only thing missing is the discipline to take advantage of this workout wonderland; members and guests provide that. As it completes its first decade of existence, the WARF is poised to become even more integral to Fauquier County’s healthy lifestyle. All of this fun is orchestrated by Margaret Rice and her team. Rice, director of Warrenton’s Department of Parks and Recreation, has been with WARF almost from its beginning nearly 11 years ago. With a Bachelor of Science degree in music management, Rice worked for the Fairfax Symphony before earning an MBA with a concentration in finance. Not satisfied to rest on her sheepskins, she rounded out her educational resume by scoring a law degree. During a portion of her career she took time off to raise three daughters, reinforcing the old adage, “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.” If the WARF is run like a Swiss watch, it’s because its gifted administrator is winding the stem. “It’s a strange combination of degrees but weirdly all of them have applicability to what I do now. The law degree is especially handy in dealing with the many contracts here at WARF,” said Rice. And what does she do? She has re-

Fees and programs
The fee structure for the facility is based on where one lives and if you elect to become a member or an occasional walk-in. The membership rates are based on residency location: in town, in Fauquier County or non-resident and range from $365 up to $575 annually. One-day pass fees are based on residency and age and are priced from $4.50 to $8.50. Currently there are 1,700 members who are joined by many daily walk-ins. Regardless of how one gains admission to the facility, once inside the fun begins…seven days a week.
“We have a lot going on, from preswim classes, fitness classes, yoga – both water and land – spin classes, Zumba and even something called ‘Pound’ that uses drums. That’s really a workout and you don’t even notice it because you’re having so much fun. “Hopefully, everyone finds something that works for them,” said Rice. In fact, everything fitness is available for anyone seeking a better self; even the wee ones get in the act with more than 2,000 children a year learning to swim and having fun on the water slide in the leisure pool. But not all the joy is within the facility’s walls. A popular asset for both kids and parents is the sponge playground located on the right side of the building.

But the fun jewel was not inexpensive with the playground’s invoice coming to $250,000; worth every penny, if parents get a vote. Another youth initiative was started this summer with the planting of a garden near the building.

She also sends instructors into the town parks for free outdoor fitness classes for folks who are unable to travel to the facility. “We are trying to reach out into the community and reach people who may not be able to come into the building but could benefit from having information on a healthy lifestyle and fitness, even showing the chair bound they can do exercise with their arms.”
WE’VE MOVED TO BETTER SERVE YOU!
Linda Wright, a resident of Warrenton, is not a weekly visitor to the WARF but enjoys it when she goes. “I love that it’s a clean facility. I love the lazy river, it’s so unique. To have that in Warrenton is fun. “It’s a friendly atmosphere. I like it when kids are around; the mix of age groups is great,” said Wright. For Rice, her job as director has been a joy. “It’s been a wonderful journey over the years finding our place in the community. It’s so much fun. “I think our staff are the luckiest people in Warrenton. We get to see everybody in the community and they’re all happy when they arrive here. I feel lucky every day when I come to work,” she said. The WARF is at 800 Waterloo Road in Warrenton. Reach them by email at warf@warrentonva.gov or by phone at 540-349-2520.

When the multi-million-dollar facility was built is was financed in part by bonds; that debt is being paid off over time. However, operating expenses are in line with income making the fitness center a self-paying operation. Last year, it produced an income of $1.356 million with expenses totaling $1.346 million. “Weirdly, our revenue is divided into thirds; memberships, day passes and program fees,” said Rice. Not one to rest on past successes, Rice sees opportunities for expansion of the WARF’s community involvement. “We are looking at some interesting ideas but not quite ready to share yet. We’d like to get into partnerships and like to do something with employee fitness and wellness. We’re kicking around some ideas like that. “We do have WARF on Wheels where we send our instructors to nursing homes, schools and the community of disabled people and talk to them about fitness and do something with them, depending on the ability of the population we are

A member of the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club, Nancy Lagasse sat smiling, happy and enthusiastic at a recent Saturday morning meeting at The Bistro at Fauquier Health. Restricted to the use of a wheelchair, she is ever-reaching in her community service activities. At her side, and always drawing attention, is Writer, her service dog. Lagasse recently celebrated a birthday. Her Facebook request wish was for contributions to Canine Companions for Independence. They hold a special place in her heart. Lagasse’s life took a turn in 2000 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Her life as a wife, homemaker, worker, horseback-riding enthusiast and more ended. “My marriage dissolved. I could no longer work in the medical field, which I loved; I lost my home, and depression set in,” says Lagasse, noting that as mobility diminished her depression increased. As challenges mounted, a friend suggested that a service dog might be the answer. This idea took Nancy on another journey of research, investigation and ultimately to the door of Canine Companions for Independence. She applied, was accepted and then took her place on a waiting list. Highly trained and graduating
FAUQUIER FOCUS knowing some 50 commands, dogs, like Writer, are given 100 percent free of charge Ten years ago, in 2008, Lagasse received her first dog and a new outlook on life. She realized that she was able to take control once again and she began redefining herself. “I began volunteering at Fauquier Hospital in the infusion center, I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, joined the Warrenton Sunrise Lions Club, ran a multiple sclerosis support group in two counties and began to give back to Canine Companions for Independence in the only way I knew how,” says Lagasse who started, and continues to do, fundraisers throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. “I’m no public speaker but stand me in front of a crowd, ask me to speak about this organization and it just seems to flow,” says Lagasse, who also volunteers for SAFE, Neighborhood Watch, and currently serves as the District 24 trustee for the Lions project for Canine Com-

Revisiting her medical background, she is now certified in mental health first aid working with the newly diagnosed and chronically ill. She serves on the area’s disability board as well. She’s back in the saddle taking therapeutic horseback riding and has added adaptive yoga as well. When her service dog retired, she applied for a successor dog and three years ago received Writer. “She’s so committed,” said Warrenton Lions Club President Erl Poulin. “She’s a great asset to the Club. And Lagasse has no complaints. “Through the Lions Club I am able to reach out in areas that I could not have done without the support of my

Writer agrees as he climbs into her lap. To learn more about dogs like Writer and Canine Companions for Independence, visit www.cci.org.

Not one more victim One student went to her school counselor 22 times complaining that she was being sold for sex. Twenty-two times the counselor essentially said, “I don’t believe you.” John F. Clark, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, says, “The only way to not find this problem in any city is simply not to look for it.”
Trafficking is happening in your backyard
Human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise in the world, and the Department of Justice estimates that it could overtake the drug trade in the next couple of years. It’s not just something that happens in Cambodia or Sierra Leone or some other far away third world country. It happens here. Today. In your community. Even in your homes. Victims come from all races, ethnicities, genders, socio-economic classes, and levels of academic achievement. Based on interviews of traffickers, they prefer to target teenagers from middle-class homes in more suburban/rural areas because they are more naïve (less educated and aware of the issue.) Bill Woolf, executive director of Just Ask Prevention Project, claims that the biggest hurdle in changing things is the “lack of awareness of our kids about what they are getting into and who to turn to for help.”
MARIANNE CLYDE Amelia Stansell, vice president and commercial relationship manager at Middleburg Bank appeals to parents by saying, “As parents, we need to understand what we are not picking up on.” Yes, of course, she is concerned about her own children, but she also says, “We need to be concerned about all the kids in our lives: our babysitters, our youth groups, the kids on the sports teams, any kid that crosses our path. It’s our job, as a community, to safeguard them.”
What is human trafficking?
So how do we do that? First, we must understand what trafficking is. Woolf explains it like this: “Human trafficking is the act of compelling a person to engage in sexual acts or forced labor. The trafficker profits from this exploitation while continuing to manipulate the victims.” Northern Virginia has become a hub of this kind of activity. With less than 1 percent of victims being rescued, it has become the second-fastest-growing crime sector in the United States, according to the FBI.
Stansell recently spoke to the Warrenton Rotary Club. She clarified expectations. “Human trafficking does not happen the way the movies usually depict it; physical force and abductions are rarely used by traffickers to enslave people. Traffickers generally prefer to use mental manipulation and coercion to gradually entrap their victims. It is more time consuming, but it is both much less risky and ultimately more effective – a kidnapped victim might attempt to flee at the first opportunity; yet one who has been psychologically ‘broken’ is much less likely to run.”
What can be done?
“The stories are heart-breaking,” adds Woolf, “The mental, psychological, and physical effects of trafficking are inhumane and life-altering, and in some cases life-ending.” While treating victims is a priority, the most important thing that Just Ask Prevention Project does is just that: prevention. We must, as a community become familiar with the threat, the warning signs and the symptoms and educate our parents and our students. The Center for Missing and Exploited Children has already developed a framework. We just need to implement it in our community at the grassroots level says Stansell. A common misconception is that youth who are involved in after school programs and athletics are less likely to be tricked by the traffickers. However, a recent study from the Florida Department of
Family Services revealed that more than 80 percent of trafficked youth are “community kids,” a term they use to describe those that are attending school, involved in extracurricular activities, and living at home. Woolf emphasizes how grateful his organization and others are to the Rotary Club of Warrenton for their support and partnership. They are being very instrumental in getting this information out to the community.
Get informed and involved
Because of support like this, they are able to bring this to the attention through a series of town hall meetings, the first of which will be held at Taylor Middle School in Warrenton on Wednesday, Sept. 5, at 6:30 pm. This event is open to the public with speakers from the FBI, Sheriff Bob Mosier’s office, the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force and a mom of a trafficked child. They will outline their plan to bring awareness to our kids and families through a comprehensive plan of prevention including: • An “in-school” curriculum for sixth- through 12th-graders to be included in the current family life curriculum. • Coming soon: a curriculum for elementary-school students • Creating “safe zones” for kids with trusted adults to talk to • Training community leaders about what to look for and how to handle it See CLYDE, Page 27

Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue breakfast set for Sunday

Hot! Hot! And still heating! It is summer time and at least we are spared the dreadful wildfires they are having in the western states. Oops, we goofed. The Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue monthly breakfast will be held on Sunday, Aug. 19, from 8-11 a.m. Sorry, we got distracted and put the wrong date. This breakfast is always on the third Sunday of the month. Come out to support your local volunteers with a full breakfast and Goodies-To-Go. We are planning some special goodies to satisfy your sweet tooth and
MARKHAM HUME ORLEAN 540-364-1828 hlfmhouse@aol.com also some sugar-free items will be added this time. It is grass mowing time for all of us and we notice that many folks are sending grass clippings out into the streets and roads. Grass clippings on the road can provide a very slick
surface which can be deadly to motorcyclists, bicyclists or possibly pedestrians. The Code of Virginia (18.2.324) states that “No one may throw or deposit any substances into a road that creates a hazard to the traveling public”. This is a Class 1 misdemeanor. Please be careful where those grass clippings fly. We note the passing of Barbara Rodriguez-Ellis, longtime resident of the Orlean area. This talented lady was one of the first four female firefighters at the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department. She was “tiny but fierce” and known for the fact that her fire gear was often the smallest on the rack and that her boots could fly off when the truck rounded a corner. This lady was in-

Analysis of the Fauquier County housing market 2018 Second Quarter Report: Active listings historically low As the spring market concludes in the Greater Piedmont Region, home prices remain on an upward trend despite a slowdown in sales relative to last year. The median sales price has been consistently rising now for more than six years, evidence of a tight supply of active listings, and continued strong buyer demand in the market. Summary highlights from the market data this quarter include: • Sold dollar volume declined by 3.7 percent from a year ago, the first drop since the end of 2016. While prices continue to rise, the drop in dollar volume was driven largely by a slowdown in sales. • Both the average and median sales prices in the region continue to rise relative to last year, increasing 1.6 percent and 4.9 percent respectively. • There were 45 fewer sales in the region compared to the 2nd quarter of last year, a 5.2 percent reduction, and the first decline in more than three years. • Madison County was the only jurisdiction in the region to have sales growth in the second quarter, all other counties had
fewer sales than a year ago, the sharpest decline occurred in Orange County. • Homes continue to sell faster in the region, evidence of strong demand and a low inventory of listings. The average days on market fell to 63 days, 20 days faster than a year ago.
Key Market Indicators: 2nd Quarter 2018, Fauquier County • Units Sold: 352 • Average Sales Price: $434,133 • Median Sales Price: $394,450 • days Average Days on Market: 43 • Average Sales Price to Original List Price Ratio: 96.5% • Active Listings: 409 Sales: After more than three years of consistent quarter-over-quarter growth at the region level, sales declined in the Greater Piedmont Region relative to this time last year. There were 813 sales in the second
quarter of 2018 region-wide, down 5.2 percent from the second quarter of 2017, a drop of 45 sales. Similar trends occurred at the county-level: Fauquier County: There were 352 sales in Fauquier County in the 2nd quarter, a 4.6 percent decline from this time last year, a drop of 17 sales. Home Prices: While the number of home sales declined slightly this quarter, sales prices continue to rise across most of the Greater Piedmont Region, a reflection of upward pressure caused by the historically low inventory of active listings. The average sales price in the region in the 2nd quarter was $366,829 up 1.6 percent from this time last year, a gain of nearly $6,000. At $320,000 the median sales price in the region also rose, climbing 4.9 percent from the 2nd quarter of 2017, a gain of $15,000. Fauquier County: At $394,450 the median sales price in Fauquier County declined in the 2nd quarter compared to last year, falling 1.4 percent or approximately $5,550. This is the first median price decline in the county since the 1st quarter of 2017. Active Listings: The inventory of homes for sale in the Greater Piedmont Region continues to decline and remains historically low. There were 1,094 active listings at the end of the second quarter throughout the region, down 6.3 percent from this
time last year, a drop of 73 listings. The number of active listings is now at its lowest level for a spring market since the peak of the pre-recession housing boom in 2005. Similar inventory trends are occurring throughout the country, and can be seen locally at the jurisdiction level: Fauquier County: There were 409 active listings in Fauquier County at the end of the second quarter, down 10.3% from the same quarter last year, a drop of 47 listings. Days on Market: Homes continue to sell faster in most of the Greater Piedmont Region which is reflective of the historically low inventory of active listings and strong demand in the market. On average, homes sold 20 days faster in the second quarter compared to the same time last year. Notably, more than half of the homes sold in the second quarter region-wide were on the market for less than a month.
