Fauquier’s first hemp farm will harvest this fall By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Travis Lane sees growing hemp as his future, so he spends a lot of time tending the sea of green plants outside his home in Marshall and working on his business plan. He’s got an acre of hemp growing this year for his first crop and plans to expand next year to put 5 acres in production. Cameras are trained on the field to prevent theft or other mischief; Crest Hill Road borders his field and home off Walsingham Lane. Growing industrial hemp is newly legal in Virginia. The federal farm bill in 2018 opened the door by removing hemp from the definition of marijuana on the controlled substance list. States individually regulate the growers, processors and dealers. Growers pay a $50 fee to register with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Applicants state where and how much land they plan to cultivate and then report how much they’ve planted. Growers must destroy any product that has more than 3% of THC – the
chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects. Hemp processors and dealers must reapply every year to stay in business. Lane believes he’s the first to legally have a hemp farm underway in Fauquier. The state’s agriculture website lists Happy Family Ranch Inc. in Midland as a hemp processor and Northern Neck Hemp Company as a processor in Warrenton. Northern Neck Hemp is also listed as a dealer. SB Holding Inc is a registered hemp processor in Manassas. They and Lane allowed the state to post their names on the state website. They weren’t required to do so. Lane set up Northern Virginia Hemp and Agriculture with four partners. He spent “life savings and cash flow” to bankroll the business, but he didn’t want to say for the record how much he’s put into it. The partners have a website – northernvirginiahemp.com – that talks about the purported benefits of hemp for pain management and relieving See HEMP, page 4

Barracks at Vint Hill have been standing vacant for more than 20 years.
Proposal would create apartments By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A proposal from a company experienced in rehabilitating old buildings and putting them to new uses wants to give two old barracks at the former Vint Hill Farm Station a facelift. Echelon Resources Inc., a Virginia-based historic property redevelopment firm, needs a zoning text amendment from the county to redevelop the buildings for rental and for-sale condominiums. The property is in a planned commercial industrial district. The two buildings Echelon proposes to rehabilitate served as men’s and women’s barracks. The county has submitted information to the See BARRACKS, page 13

Street music comes to Warrenton Aug. 24 Charity Furness, director of Experience Old Town Warrenton has announced a new reason to visit Main Street – live music. She explained that from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 24, local musicians are invited to play acoustic (non-amplified) music along Main Street during Warrenton’s first foray into street busking. The local musicians who perform as Breckley and Shepherd will stage a reunion that day on Main Street, nine years after issuing their CD, “Still Not Over You.” Students and instructors from local music schools, such as Drum n Strum and Allegro Community School of the Arts have been invited
to perform as well. Anyone interested in playing in town on Aug. 24 is welcome, said Furness. She added, “We are encouraging local artists to check in with Chuck Shepherd at Drum & Strum for info on the new entertainment plan and for assistance with logistics. We do ask that you talk to any business where you plan to play to ensure that you are not blocking their access to the street or access to the store for prospective customers.” Those interested may contact Chuck Shepherd at chuck@drumnstrum.com for more information. Furness said she is hopeful that busking will become an ongoing tradition for Warrenton.

For Gerhardt, the quest for broadband is personal By Christopher Connell
Piedmont Journalism Foundation
Before Rick Gerhardt donned the leadership mantle in Fauquier County’s pursuit of broadband for all, the Cedar Run supervisor experienced firsthand the frustrations of trying to get a reliable internet connection at home on the family farm outside Catlett. “I’ve had everything from Verizon wireless, which mounted a small antenna outside the house, to Hughes and Exede (satellite services), to Blaze Broadband,” he recalled in an interview at the Board of Supervisors office in Warrenton. He’s getting faster broadband now from a new tower in Casanova, from which Data Stream Mobile Services (formerly Omnipoint) transmits a compressed broadband signal over a radio frequency that can reach homes even without line of sight to the tower. His 30-megabit downloads and 5-megabit uploads are faster than the Federal Communications Commission’s benchmark. In his first run for office in 2015, Gerhardt made universal broadband his signature issue. He has led the county’s initiative every step of the way, from
Comcast declines to partner on broadband grant Comcast will not partner with Fauquier County after all, to apply for a Virginia Telecommunication Initiative grant to bring broadband to Orlean. “Comcast has decided that it is not a ‘viable business plan’ to partner with Fauquier County on Orlean, as there are not enough homes/subscribers to be lucrative,” Katie Heritage, the county’s deputy administrator, said. The county received word of the decision on Aug. 15. “Needless to say, this is a big disappointment – especially since VATI required that we post notice on our intent to apply for the grant by Aug. 6,” Heritage said. “Obviously, a lot of folks from Orlean commented encouraging the application and will doubtlessly be disappointed.” The county hoped to get $3 million through VATI, which has $19 million to subsidize construction costs and provide last-mile service to unserved areas. The county would have contributed $500,000 and Comcast would have put in another $500,000. Supervisor Rick Gerhardt expressed disappointment and said this same scenario with Comcast had happened once before when the county asked it to partner on a state broadband grant application for Marshall.
earmarking $20 million in capital improvement funds for broadband, to personally looking for companies capable of doing the job, to the board’s unanimous Aug. 8 decision to seek a comprehensive agreement with Data Stream, a Florida firm experienced in doing tower work for major carriers. At the same time, the board gave Gerhardt a green light to pursue his blueprint for providing $2.6 million in new incentives to entice broadband providers to put new equipment on existing towers to serve hundreds more customers by the end of this year. But the broadband initiative has not always gone according to plan. Freedom Telecom Services, which the board selected in September 2017 to design and construct a fiber optic network, collapsed a few months later with no work done. The county solicited new proposals and last January narrowed its choices for detailed designs to Omnipoint and Tenebris Fiber, a reincarnation of Freedom Telecom. The back and forth between county IT and procurement staff and the companies took longer than expected. After weighing the bidders’ financial strengths, the board reject-
ed Tenebris and agreed to move forward with Data Stream. Under the legal requirements for public-private partnerships like this one, the supervisors must make the full proposal for any comprehensive agreement available for public review 10 days before a public hearing, and the board cannot vote on a contract until 30 days after that public hearing. Omnipoint and Tenebris, in their original designs, laid out plans for 130 miles of new fiber in the county. Will that be in the comprehensive agreement? “Whether it’s 130 miles, 160 miles or 10 miles, that remains to be seen,” said Gerhardt, an entrepreneur who built and sold his own successful international mail and package delivery business before entering public life. “I never had any desire to run for office,” said Gerhardt. Already active in civic affairs, Gerhardt was persuaded by friends and his son to run against an incumbent in 2015. “I thought it was a good opportunity. There’s always something going on in the county that (ticks) you off and you think you can do it differently,” he said. Gerhardt is unopposed for re-election on this year’s ballot but said that

Planners tour proposed resort location Lodge at Barrel Oak public hearing in October By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A public hearing in front of the Fauquier County Planning Commission is planned in October for a proposal to create The Lodge at Barrel Oak – an expansion of an existing
8,300 square foot house to a 32,000 square foot building for overnight lodging, with a restaurant for guests plus space on the grounds for events such as wedding receptions. The site in Delaplane is adjacent to Barrel Oak Winery and Taproom,

co-owned by Brian Roeder who filed the application to build the lodge. He needs special exceptions to expand the home, hold up to 78 events a year, install a fire suppression system fed by above-ground tanks and install a sewage system. Planning commission members visited the site on Aug. 14 where Roeder escorted them around the property, pointing out areas where the home would be expanded, where events would take place and where parking would be. Commission members then heard a description of the proposal by county staff during a work session on Aug. 15. Roeder said that he will be submitting revisions to his plan, including provisions for a swimming pool, tennis court, garden and greenhouse – amenities that would make it a resort. Roeder said the resort would operate year-round but the peak period would be mid-April to mid-October. He said the amplified music outdoors for events would be within a courtyard bordered on three sides. The proposed expansion sits in the center of the 170 acres he owns. “I want to make this a beautiful lodge and provide a unique experience,” Roeder told the commission members during the site tour.
“I know the scale is important,” said commission member Bob Lee of the Marshall District during the Aug. 15 discussion. He suggested the county staff look at the recent changes in the rural lands chapter of the comprehensive plan as it reviews the application. Commission member John Meadows, Lee District, asked that traffic count figures for Grove Lane, the road that runs past the site, be provided. Commission member Diane Roteman, Center District, said that when vendors, wedding photographers, DJs and others are factored in, it will increase the number attending each event. Plus, the adjacent winery will be open. The planning commission will receive an update on the application at its September meeting. If the planning commission makes a recommendation following a public hearing in October, the matter will then go to the county board of supervisors. The application has sparked reactions both in favor and against. Supporters see it as a plus, providing needed lodging and generating tax revenue for the county. Detractors are concerned about noise, traffic and commercialization of a rural area. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
Fauquier’s first hemp farm will harvest this fall HEMP, from page 1 anxiety and depression. They plan to market and sell hemp products that can be smoked, applied as a lotion, or taken orally in oil form. The flower that grows on the hemp plant provides the effect when it is consumed. Product from a premium flower could go for $15 per gram or $40 for 3.5 grams. A tincture – the liquid form – could range from $50 to $130, Lane said. “Hopefully, we’ll be able to get the prices down,” he said. “I use a lot of the smokable products. And the lotion is great for my sore body,” Lane said. “We’re trying to see what the best products will be,” Lane said. The partners are considering a tea version. A dog treat is planned too. Customers will be able to purchase from the Northern Virginia Hemp website, though the “shop” section on the site is empty now. Lane said his products will be sold at the Orlean Market and he’s going to approach Red Truck Bakery and Cobble Mountain Cider in Delaplane about carrying his products. “I also have a couple interests in D.C.” lined up to carry them. He said he’d like to open a hemp product shop in Marshall. Lane and his partners also plan to sell their products at the Fall Jubilee in Manassas this October.
Growing hemp
Lane has 1,500 hemp plants on his 1 acre. He got started with clones from a supplier in southern Virginia that obtained them from various parts of the country. He tried seeds from a supplier in Colorado, but the plants didn’t do well. “They didn’t like Virginia’s weather,” Lane said. He’s also importing seeds from a supplier in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Currently, he has five different varieties of
hemp plants. The one that grows tallest is “T Rex.” T Rex “has a citrus smell; then there’s Otto that smells like sugar and produces a sleepy effect. Other varieties are Wife, The Nova and Mango,” he said. The Nova is a name he gave to that variety, since it didn’t have a name. “Plants going into flower start to show buds. This is like a science project right now. Which will be harvested first?” he said. Lane wants to boost his production next year. “By this time next year, the plants will be up to Crest Hill Road and there will be 8,000 plants on the property,” he said. Insects are a problem for Lane, as they are for other farmers. Mites are a particular bother, he said. But he doesn’t use chemicals to be rid of them. “We’ve got mites to take care of mites. Our goal is to be a certified organic farm,” Lane said. Recent high winds caused some of the plants to lean, but he expects them to straighten again in time. The plants in his field currently range from 3 to 10 feet in height. The hemp plants are also susceptible to root rot. The plants haven’t grown as tall in an area in the center of his field where water collects. He figures he’s lost 50 to 75 plants so far. He’s been working closely with the local cooperative extension office and as a result “we’ve become very good friends. This has definitely been a learning experience.” Lane uses an organic fertilizer. A drip line under plastic channels between the rows keeps the plants watered. A neighbor, Chris Cloud, supports Lane’s turn to hemp farming and thinks it’s a “unique” addition to Fauquier agriculture. “This helps us diversify and keep us agricultural. It’s cutting edge,” said Cloud. He said it represents a return to an earlier time in the country

The company installed tennis courts when his grandfather founded it, then moved into trucking and topsoil hauling. Now it’s heavily into installing pools, patios, porches and decks.

Town Council rejects Alexandria Knolls subdivision waivers Council agrees to apply for VDOT grants By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
It was an agreeable evening. The Warrenton Town Council’s meeting Aug. 13 ended with several decisions in the books and all of the votes were unanimous. Mayor Carter Nevill and councilmen Sean Polster (at large), Jerry Wood (Ward 1), Brett Hamby (Ward 3) and Robert Kravetz (Ward 4) were present; councilmen Renard Carlos (at large) and Alec Burnett (Ward 2) called into the meeting and Councilman Kevin Carter (Ward 5) was absent.
Alexandria Knolls
Town Council members voted to deny three separate waiver requests from the developers of Alexandria Knolls. The waivers would have allowed ASM Properties, LLC to subdivide a parcel of land at 320 Alexandria Pike and build eight homes. ASM Properties is owned by Roger Martella, former Town Council member. He is represented by Powell Duggan, former mayor of Warrenton. The waivers would have allowed ASM to avoid putting sidewalks on both sides of the street; to shorten the right of way for the width of the proposed street (Winterset Lane) from 50 feet to 40 feet; and to build the subdivision with a cul-de-sac design. Town staff has been working with the developers to try to come up with solutions that would meet town ordinances and allow the subdivision to move forward, but a report from the Department of Community Development dated July 31 recommended that the request be denied. At Tuesday’s meeting, about 15 neighbors attended; three neighbors and one neighbor’s representative spoke against the waivers during citizen’s time. Melissa Wiedenfeld said that she and her neighbors objected to the additional traffic and noise that the development would bring to “what was a nice, quiet neighborhood.” She said that approving the waivers would result in higher density, which she and her neighbors don’t support. “What is the point of regulations if you don’t stick to them?” she asked. The final speaker, Bronwyn White, has lived in her Alexandria Pike home for 46 years. She presented a petition with 19 signatures. Thirteen of those who signed represented 10 addresses on Alexandria Pike. Another five live elsewhere in Warrenton; the last signature was from an Orlean resident. During discussion on the three waivers, council members could not find any compelling reasons to support the waivers and so voted unanimously to reject the waivers. Wiedenfeld said she was relieved with the town council’s decision. “I’m very glad they are going to go
back to the drawing board.” Some of the houses in her neighborhood are well over a century old, she said, with beautiful old trees. She said the area has been developing very slowly. Wiedenfeld said she only heard about the proposal a couple of weeks before the meeting. Neighbors heard about the project through word of mouth and mobilized the opposition, she said. “I’m sure this won’t be the last we hear of this.”
Virginia Department of Transportation grant resolutions
The town council voted to approve resolutions to submit applications to the Virginia Department of Transportation for grant money to complete three separate construction projects. A Main Street project would aim to improve walkability and highlight Warrenton’s historic assets. It is a longstanding idea that was recently updated in a draft plan by Bohler Engineering. The draft plan for Main Street includes raised crosswalks to slow down traffic, bump outs (like the ones installed near Fifth Street last fall) and space for sidewalk dining. It also maps out an additional crosswalk near First Street. A possible directional star design embedded in the road at Courthouse Square would provide visual interest. The plan includes several features that would highlight Warrenton’s historical significance. Main Street between Second Street and Third Street would be repaved with brick, to mark the historic crossroads of the town. The two gateways to Old Town -- the intersection of Alexandria Pike and Main Street and the intersection of Calhoun and Main streets – would feature midstreet signs to welcome visitors to Old Town. The permanent markers would also serve as traffic-calming features. The resolution to apply for VDOT funding for Main Street improvements would be for funds of up to $1.4 million through the VDOT FY2021-2022 Transportation Alternatives Program. The VDOT grant would require matching funds from the town, in an 80/20 split. VDOT’s portion would be 80 percent, the town’s, 20 percent. The town council also approved a resolution to apply for the same amount through a 50/50 Revenue Sharing Program grant for the Main Street project, in case the more competitive Transportation Alternatives Program grant is not approved. Another resolution was approved to request funds from VDOT’s Revenue Sharing Program for a full-size roundabout at the intersection of Lee Street, Walker Drive and Oliver City Drive would be for $1,400,000. This would require a 50/50 split, with the town providing $700,000.
COURTESY IMAGE
The Alexandria Knolls subdivision would have been located off Alexandria Pike in Warrenton; the approximate location is marked in yellow. The Town Council voted against allowing three waivers that would have allowed the project to move forward. For the third project, several options are being explored to improve car and pedestrian safety at Waterloo and Chestnut streets – from adding sidewalks and crosswalks to changing the layout of Waterloo street and adding a median. The resolution the Town Council approved would allow an application to VDOT’s Revenue Sharing Program for a $100,000 grant. This grant would require a 50/50 split, which translates to a $50,000 contribution from the town of Warrenton. The money would cover the costs of any one of the three options for Waterloo and Chestnut street improvements.
Classification and compensation study
Town Council members also unanimously approved a motion to commission a study to examine the compensation of the town’s 56 fulltime and numerous part-time employees. Stephanie Miller, director of Finance and Human Resources, explained that these kinds of studies are usually done every five years or so and the town is coming up to that time frame. The cost of the study is estimated to be about $40,000. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

As it approached 9 p.m. on Saturday, the 100 or so people gathered at Courthouse Square in Warrenton to remember Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Master Deputy Sid Bolden had completed their vigil. The candles they held were still glowing, though considerably shorter than when they were lit. But the crowd seemed reluctant to

disperse. They still had stories to share about “Uncle Sid.” Sid Bolden took his own life Aug. 5. The vigil, organized by Kayla Sloan, owner of Bail Bonds Unlimited, was held to honor him and raise awareness about suicide. Sloan had known Bolden for 14 years. Pastor George Smallwood of New Hope Trinity Bible Church in Manassas spoke to the crowd. “Suicide is real, but nobody wants to talk about it. Firefighters, law enforcement, the military, we have lost too many to suicide. We can’t afford to lose any more.” Smallwood knew Bolden when he was starting on his path to deputy at age 17, as a sheriff’s office explorer. “Sid will be missed by all. He had a light about him. His personality was infectious and once you met him, you had to know him,” Smallwood said. Bolden started his career in the county’s communications unit. At the time of his death – after 26 years with the sheriff’s office, he was a master deputy working in the Adult Detention Center. He was also a lifetime member of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company. Many of those who attended Saturday night were firefighters, health care workers or law enforcement colleagues. Smallwood’s wife Karen is an emergency communications specialist supervisor at Fauquier’s 911 Emergency Communications Center and had known Bolden for years. “The only time Sid wasn’t smiling was in his police picture,” she remembered. Rick Webster, firefighter and EMT with New Baltimore Volunteer Fire Department and Todd Rosamund, former chief at New Baltimore, talked fondly of Bolden. They remembered his ever-present smile, his love of photography and bluegrass

New parking enforcement officer patrolling in Warrenton By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
Drivers in the town of Warrenton have been having a bit of a free ride for months because the town has not had a parking enforcement officer. Not anymore. Lea Pagliuca started work the last week in July and after a couple of weeks in training, she’s fully up to speed. She said right now she is mostly giving out warnings for a first parking offense; the second time a car is found overstaying its welcome in a town parking spot, the owner will be charged $10. Costs keep going up for future offenses. Residents can pay tickets online or at Town Hall. Pagliuca said she’ll also issue citations for expired registrations or inspections or for parking in front of a hydrant or too far from the curb. Warrenton Interim Police Chief Tim Carter said that Pagliuca is a parttime town employee, but her hours will not be the same every week. She may be seen out at any time of day or any day of the week, but she won’t be chalking tires. Carter said that she is using technology – like a very large cellphone – to keep track of which cars are where and for how long.

Lea Pagliuca is keeping Warrenton drivers honest. Pagliuca, 46, lives in Gainesville with her two dogs. She said she loves her new job. Being outside, she said is a plus, and the position suits her. “I’m a follow-the-rules kind of person.”

Stories from the road
Wines has handled a lot of calls in his 45 years, but a few stand out. “We had a call for a violent domestic down between Midland and Bealeton. It was at a farm. I don’t know how she crawled out of the house, she had been beaten so badly. He hit her with a baseball bat.” Wines and another deputy went to try to get the man out of the house, but he had a rifle. “He started shooting. We tried to talk him out of the house. Finally, one of us went in through the window and snuck up on him. We didn’t have a swat team back then.” The veteran officer said that being in law enforcement comes with genuine risks. “I think we all feel it. You never know what to expect. Sometimes you can talk your way out of a

situation, sometimes you have to use other methods. But you can’t let it bother you. You have to do what you have to do. I’ve gotten bruised, been in a few fights, but I’ve been lucky.” Another of Wines’ more memorable rescue efforts took place on U.S. 17, on the side of the road near Marsh Run Trailer Park in Bealeton. “There were two women in the car. The one in the back seat was having a baby. I called the rescue squad, but in those days, they were all volunteer so they took longer to get there. The baby didn’t wait. “I didn’t know what I was doing,” he said. “I helped deliver the baby,” but he admitted, “the woman did most of the work. The woman who was giving birth was screaming in pain and the other woman was just screaming. I told her to breathe and to push. When he was born, I laid that baby on her chest.” Even after a couple of decades, Wines still seems a little shaken by that particular ordeal.
Honoring 45 years of service
Wines spent Thursday, Aug. 15 -his last day -- in his patrol car. He said, “I mostly rode around. I drove up to Marshall to say goodbye to some people, down to Remington. I drove up to Paris Mountain and sat and thought for a while. It wasn’t exciting.” When he got back to the sheriff’s office, his final sign off was broadcast over the airwaves. It was an emotional moment, for the colleagues and well-wishers who gathered to applaud his years of service, and for the man of stone. He admits he teared up. What would he say to any new recruits? “Slow down and pay attention. Wear your badge with pride and honor. That’s what I’ve done for 45 years. I want you all to do the job the best that you can, and then go home safe at night. That would make me happy if they could do that.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

An 80-year-old man was injured in an apparently deliberate self-inflicted shooting in front of the JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts store in Warrenton Saturday, Aug. 17, according to Warrenton police. Officers responded to the store, located in the Warrenton Village Center, about 8:01 p.m. and found the wounded man sitting on a bench outside the store, according to a Warrenton Police Department Facebook post. The victim, who has not been identified, was flown by helicopter to a trauma center, according to Warrenton Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer. Warrenton Interim Police Chief Tim Carter said the gentleman is stable and is expected to make a full recovery. The Warrenton Village Center is at the corner of West Lee Street and Broadview Avenue in Warrenton.

nearly three-quarters of a mile stretch of Broadview – from the intersection at Va. 211 to just south of U.S. 17 (James Madison Highway). VDOT has been working on the project design with the town of Warrenton, residents and businesses to achieve the goal of safety while also maintaining access to businesses lining the corridor and residences on side streets. The project carries an estimated cost of $8 million. The state awarded $5.4 million through the Smart Scale transportation program, the town is contributing $1 million and there is $1.6 million remaining from a previous allocation. Construction is expected to begin in 2022.
12:40 p.m. Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Brent Coffey said that a 2012 Mazda 3 that was traveling west on Va. 245 drove through a stop sign and collided with a northbound 2019 Subaru Outback.

PATH Foundation General Operations grant cycle opens Sept. 3 The PATH Foundation is announcing the opening of its General Operations grants for qualifying nonprofits in Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper counties. These funds will offer funding for nonprofits to use toward general expenses such as rent, utilities and equipment, with a maximum award amount of $100,000, according to a PATH Foundation news release. Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO, said general operations funds help keep nonprofits running smoothly. “For most nonprofits, funding of day-to-day operations is necessary in order to maintain effective programs,” Connolly said in the news release. “Many nonprofits operate with a small staff with multiple responsibilities. These gener-
al operations grants are designed to ease the burden of funding these regular expenses, allowing the nonprofits to do what they do best – help our community.” General Operations grants are the PATH Foundation’s most competitive awards, according to the
PATH Foundations. “Areas that will be evaluated include governance, finance, programs and public disclosure,” the news release said. “Organizations that currently meet or are working toward a majority of the best practices outlined in the grant guidelines are encouraged to apply for funds.” “Our purpose for offering these grants is twofold – we want to empower exceptional nonprofits to continue their important work, and establish a shared standard of best practices no matter their size or scope,” Connolly said. Applications for the General Operations grants will open on Tuesday, Sept. 3, and the deadline for applying is Friday, Oct. 4.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE APPLICATION OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR REVISION OF RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE CASE NO. PUR-2019-00104 •Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) has applied for approval to revise its rate adjustment clause, Rider US-3. •Dominion requests a total revenue requirement of approximately $31.1 million for its 2020 Rider US-3. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on January 14, 2020, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website. On July 1, 2019, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company”), pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 of the Code of Virginia, filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an annual update of the Company’s rate adjustment clause, Rider US-3 (“Application”). Through its Application, the Company seeks to recover costs associated with two utility scale solar photovoltaic generating facilities: (i) the Colonial Trail West Solar Facility, an approximately 142 megawatt (“MW”) (nominal alternating current (“AC”)) facility located in Surry County; and (ii) the Spring Grove 1 Solar Facility (“SG1 Solar”), an approximately 98 MW AC facility located in Surry County (collectively, “US-3 Solar Projects” or “Projects”). Dominion filed a Motion for Entry of a Protective Order and Additional Protective Treatment, as well as a proposed Protective Order with its Application. On January 24, 2019, and April 15, 2019, respectively, the Commission approved Dominion’s construction and operation of the US-3 Projects and also approved a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider US-3, for the Company to recover costs associated with the construction of the Projects. In this proceeding, Dominion has asked the Commission to approve Rider US-3 for the rate year beginning June 1, 2020, and ending May 31, 2021 (“2020 Rate Year”). The three components of the proposed total revenue requirement for Rider US-3 will be the Projected Cost Recovery Factor, the Allowance for Funds Used During Construction Cost Recovery Factor and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. However, the Company’s proposed revenue requirement for the 2020 Rate Year does not contain an Actual Cost True-Up Factor. The Company is requesting a total revenue requirement of $31,078,000. The Company proposed to use a rate of return on common equity in this proceeding of 10.75%, consistent with the direct testimony of Robert B. Hevert in Case No. PUR-201900050 currently pending before the Commission. If the proposed Rider US-3 for the 2020 Rate Year is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. According to Dominion, implementation of its proposed Rider US-3 on June 1, 2020, would increase the bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.41. Consistent with the Commission’s directive, the Company included with its Application a cost allocation study for intermittent facilities, including a report prepared by the Brattle Group. The Company indicates that it based the projected rates in this case on its previously-approved Factor 1 methodology. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on January 14, 2020, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.

PATH Foundation provides $1.2 million to create food hub Vint Hill facility will connect farmers with new markets The PATH Foundation has announced a $1.2 million grant to 4P Foods to fund the construction of a food hub at Vint Hill in New Baltimore. According to the USDA, a food hub is a facility that manages the “aggregation, storage, processing, distribution and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products.” Food hubs work with small farmers and producers to help connect them to markets. The role of food hubs is different region to region, but largely they exist to serve buyers – from households to schools to restaurants – who want local food,

The 4P Foods food hub would give local farmers new markets for their produce.
but don’t always have the time or access to procure it. As 4P Foods founder and CEO Tom McDougall describes it, food hubs are “benevolent middlemen/ middlewomen,” working to build more transparent and direct connections from farm to fork. Funding from the PATH Foundation will cover equipment, engineering and architecture plans, as well as some staffing for the new facility. Construction and renovation of the new food hub facility is expected to be complete in early 2020. In the meantime, 4P Foods is already running operations out of Vint Hill, allowing individual consumers and institutional buyers to purchase local food through its website. Families, for instance, can sign up at 4PFoods. com for a share to be delivered to their home, workplace or business. 4P Foods currently shares a wall with Old Bust Head Brewery. The company will continue there until the new space in Vint Hill is completed. Once construction is finished, the food hub will be in the old BRAG building, directly behind the brewery on Farm Station Road. McDougall believes that farmers deserve access to buyers that want the fresh food they produce, while consumers deserve equitable access to getting that food on their plates.
“Our farmers and our partners all share in the same belief that good, local food should be a right, not a privilege,” said McDougall. “This support from the PATH Foundation will allow us to open our next chapter here at 4P and grow upon the work we’ve been doing for the past five years. Together with our partners, we will be working hard to make sure healthy, local sustainable food can become the norm, not the exception.”
Benefits to the community
The 4P food hub will be the only one of its kind in Fauquier County, and will serve all of the PATH Foundation’s footprint -- Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper counties. Its construction will address issues with current food distribution infrastructure and will benefit several existing nonprofit programs that focus on food and food insecurity. The relationship that 4P has with its farmers and producers is unique to each seller. Some farms, such as Whiffletree in Warrenton, sell produce to 4P Foods every week. Other producers will find 4P to be a good fit just a few times a year. McDougall said, “What’s important and unique about 4P (and most food hubs) is that it is a very real and direct human relationship between 4P and the grower – a relationship that is ultimately shared with the consumer through newsletters, producer profiles and more.” “Our community is heavily rooted in agriculture, but many of its residents lack access to fresh food,” said Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO. “Food impacts all four of the PATH Foundation’s health priorities and plays an important role in overall community health. By improving access to healthy food, the food hub will play a key role in accomplishing our mission: to strengthen the health and vitality of our community.” Kirsten Dueck, senior program officer at the PATH Foundation, worked closely on the development of the grant and was impressed with

Each of these grants covers programs that fall into one or more of the PATH Foundation’s four health priorities, based on a community health needs assessment: mental health, senior services, access to health and childhood wellness, according to a PATH Foundation news release. “Youth for Tomorrow, Aging Together and Cornerstone Baptist each have programming that lines up closely with our mission to strengthen the health and vitality of our community,” Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO said in the news release.

The 4P food hub is a game changer. We are excited about this collaboration with Tom and the great team at 4P Foods, and we look forward to the impact that it will have on our community.” “The food hub will be a great resource for our farmers,” said Miles Friedman, director of economic development for Fauquier County. “Agriculture is a key component of the Fauquier County economy and the food hub concept addresses several needs that can be constraints to the success of farmers in the region.” Other community stakeholders also expressed support for the project. “This is the best partner and the best concept we’ve seen for opening up markets for local products. It’s going to be huge for future generations,” said Chris Butler, chairman of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. More information about 4P Foods, may be found at www.4PFoods.com.

They will also provide compassionate, licensed, and evidence-based substance abuse treatment to adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age. Cornerstone Baptist: Cornerstone Baptist Church received $54,383 for a new caregiver ministry, which offers support to those caring for older adults, persons with disabilities and children in the foster care system by mobilizing volunteers and faithbased organizations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What’s my brush with gun violence?
Photographed in April before the opening of the 1961 swimming season, the Fauquier Swim Club off present-day Comfort Inn Drive north of Warrenton was much smaller than the swimming/recreation complex it became in later years. 75 Years Ago August 24, 1944 1st Lt. William B. Pierce, of Ravenswood, Warrenton, co-pilot of a B-17 Flying Fortress, has been awarded the Purple Heart “for a wound received in action on a bombardment mission in the European area, 9 May 1944.” He is the son of Col. and Mrs. Albert E. Pierce. Congressman H. W. Smith, unopposed within the Democratic party, will have three candidates running against him in the November general election. They are Elizabeth Chilton Murray, of Fairfax, an independent Democrat; Lawrence Michael, Arlington, an independent Republican; and Clark T. Robb, Herndon, a Socialist. O. Turner Grimsley, Warrenton town officer for the past year, has been appointed deputy sheriff and Fauquier County jailer, to take office Sept. 1, according to Sheriff W. S. Woolf. He will succeed J. W. Shirley, the jailor for more than 30 years, who is retiring. 50 Years Ago August 21, 1969 Hubert Beaumont Phipps, 63, editor and publisher of The Fauquier Democrat since 1936, died August 15 at his home, Rockburn, near Marshall. He was also the publisher of the Livestock Breeder Journal, and the former publisher and editor of the Loudoun Times-Mirror. Last Thursday morning, a skunk sprayed the area on the corner of
Culpeper and Hotel streets in Warrenton. The “friendly troops” at D. H. Lees and Co. real estate caught the main barrage. The law firm of Martin and Alexander, and the California Building, with Abbott, Proctor and Payne, stock brokers, were not liberated from the unfriendly fire. Charlottesville attorney William Battle, with the backing of Democratic conservatives and moderates, was declared winner on Tuesday in a tough run-off fight for nomination for governor, defeating Henry E. Howell. 25 Years Ago August 24, 1994 Rep. Frank Wolf thinks it’s time for Congress to go home. The 10th District Republican says the roundthe-clock work on the crime bill has exhausted the House of Representatives, and the Senate’s debates on health care have similarly taxed its members. The eighth annual Great Fauquier County Business Raft Race, cancelled due to bad weather, has been rescheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28, at Crockett Park. The Wherehouse Youth Center of Warrenton, sponsored by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department, will open the new school year with expanded hours, Monday to Friday from 2:30 to 6 p.m. for grades 4 to 8. The center will also host two Saturday events each month for students in grades 9 to 12. – Compiled by John T. Toler

This letter was submitted in response to last week’s editorial, asking readers to submit stories of gun violence that have touched their lives. I would ask that we tread lightly while trying to find answers and don’t confuse the value of someone’s memory with the possibility for policy change. My brother died of suicide when I was 9. It rocked my family and challenged my development as a young man immensely. My mentor, idol and best friend was taken away from me. Or so it seemed. He used a hunting rifle. I still own hunting rifles; I still use hunting rifles every year to procure meat for my family. I grew up hunting and fishing with my brother and there is no time that I feel closer to him now than when I am hunting, holding a hunting rifle. I fully support sensible gun laws and in my humble opinion AK-47s and high-capacity magazines are certainly not sensible. That being said, weaponizing people’s tragedies for the sake of policy change is irresponsible, selfish and damages the legacy of those no longer here. I don’t want to remember my brother for his use of a weapon being part of ban-
ning future use of weapons in a violent capacity. I want to remember my brother for who he was, what he taught me before and after his death, the positive way he impacted others around him, and perhaps most of all, the way he embraced me when I killed my first deer. He was an avid sportsmen and adored all things wild. A more ethical hunter I have yet to meet and I strive to carry his influence every time I go outside. That rifle was not the problem. The problem was the disease in his brain and the lack of medical understanding about it, the lack of support networks and the stigma surrounding depression. It is an admitted gray area, considering the way things went and his love for hunting. A red flag law that took away his rifle would have deprived him of something he loved, making his time here on earth even more tortured than it already was. I don’t have an answer to the great many questions daunting society but I can say one thing for sure; my brothers story matters a great deal, whether gun laws change or not. No “maybe” about it. – Name withheld at the request of the writer
Proposed resort in Delaplane at odds with county’s comprehensive plan Question: How do you get around a Fauquier land use rule that flatly prohibits hotels and restaurants in the 80 percent of the county zoned for rural agricultural and conservation uses? Answer: Throw in a swimming pool, a tennis court and a spa and call them all a “resort” styled as a “lodge,” uses permitted under the same ordinance and so vaguely defined as to make a mockery of the ban on rural hotels and restaurants. That’s where we are with Barrel Oak Winery’s applications for “special exceptions” to construct a 42-room luxury hotel and a 50-seat restaurant on 50 acres of open countryside adjacent to the winery. In this post-truth age, with “alternative facts” an acceptable currency, Brian Roeder’s cynical manipulation of a loosely written ordinance is understandable. But it is incomprehensible that the county is seriously entertaining a project so blatantly at odds with
both the spirit and the letter of the comprehensive plan as to compel a wholesale rewriting of rural zoning rules vague enough to allow Barrel Oak to host dozens of noisy, openair, late-night events unimaginable on any Fauquier farm. It is a safe bet that the authors of Fauquier’s now obsolete rural zoning rules did not contemplate that rustic “lodges” to accommodate seasonal “travelers” would be construed to include a high-end hotel and a restaurant catering to 160 guests at each of 57 weddings and other events every year. Barrel Oak’s egregious applications are the proverbial canary in the coal mine — an unmistakable signal that the county needs to overhaul its skeletal and hopelessly inadequate rules for transient overnight housing in Fauquier’s vast rural landscape, before it is too late to prevent its Loudounization.

Retired teachers Exploring the psychology of the ‘alpha’ work together to human is always the alpha, but any I enjoyed Don Bachmann's letter who does not strive to have ("Lessons that often must be resupport community learned") in the Aug. 7 edition of the human his/her dog to be right there with My name is Ben McCartney. I was a classroom teacher for 35 years in Fauquier County Public Schools. I am the outgoing president of the Fauquier Retired Teachers Association and the current president of the Virginia Retired Teachers Association. Our state organization has about 5,700 members and our local unit in Fauquier has 107 members. I would like to give your readers some background on the Virginia Retired Teachers Association. We are affiliated with the National Retired Teachers Association, which was founded by Dr. Ethyl Percy Andrus, the first female high school principal in Los Angeles County, in 1947. As a retiree herself, she went looking for a retired Spanish teacher and found her living in a chicken coop on a $40 monthly pension. Dr. Andrus vowed that no retired educator should have to live like that ever again. She was the founder of the NRTA. Years later, she felt that all retirees, regardless of their employment, should be secure in their retirement. She felt that if enough retirees banded together, their purchasing power would improve. In 1958 she founded the organization that many people recognize today: AARP. Our Mission Statement at the Virginia Retired Teachers Association is “to be the voice, resource and connection for all retired school personnel.” On the local level, the Fauquier Retired Teachers Association meet four times a year at Bethel United Methodist Church for our business luncheon meetings. We strive to give back to the community through works of community service, food drives, three high school scholarships annually and three grants to current FCPS employees on an annual basis. We continue to help the citizenry of Fauquier County and we continue to network with fellow school retirees. Our membership is open to all retired school personnel, both professional and classified positions. The Virginia Retired Teachers Association works to stay connected with the members of the Virginia General Assembly throughout the year and to actively stay in touch with the Virginia Retirement System, to safeguard our pension plans. As we start the new school year, I encourage FCPS retirees who would be interested in joining the Fauquier Retired Teachers Association to contact me at bhmccart@gmail.com I will try and answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding retirement issues. BEN MCCARTNEY President, Virginia Retired Teachers Association
Fauquier Times. His example was a very plain one from his youth when his father overpaid for an item at an auction orchestrated by someone who knew how to manipulate human psychology to get folks to overpay for undervalued items. The auctioneer clearly knew about human psychology. About the items sold, perhaps not so much. The message was, to me, quite clear: We learn things in our youth that will frequently either be forgotten or which will be deliberately ignored when pride does not allow us to see, and admit to, a mistake or a poor choice. Like Mr. Bachmann, I have learned a few things over the years that it behooves me to be cognizant of from time to time. Obviously, some do not come to mind as readily as might always be desirable, but if I keep trying to remember them, then I find I am not as easily lead astray. We train competitive border collies at my house. Rather a lot of fun to work with these very bright dogs and we have met with some moderate success on the trail field. Between the dog and the human, the
them as a team will not, in the long run, be successful. It is a difficult balancing act at times. Within the canine world, the hierarchy is slightly more clearly defined. There is one "alpha" dog. It is in front and all others follow. Generally, it is the physically largest male, but not always. As I watch the "pack" at my house, when things are going well, one thing is obvious: the little dogs watch the big dog, looking for opportunities to advance within the pack, but the big dog pays hardly any attention to the social position of one of the little dogs. As soon as I see one of my dogs start to pay undue amounts of attention to one of the "underlings," that is a clear sign to me that there will soon be a change in pack order. This is not to say that one of the dogs cannot rise to the top just on the basis of physical ability. It happens frequently enough, but in my experience, that dog spends more time than it should looking over its shoulder at the rest of the pack and is frequently "dethroned" by a coalition that will get behind one of the contenders.
Barracks may get a second life BARRACKS, from page 1 Virginia Department of Historic Resources to register the historic portion of the Vint Hill area, which includes the barracks. “Based on the initial review of the PIF (preliminary information filing) and recent approval by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources staff, Echelon believes the Vint Hill barracks buildings will be eligible for the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit programs,” Echelon’s application to the county states. Echelon would leverage the tax credit to convert the former barracks to market-rate residential use. Among its other projects is the conversion of the former Culpeper Power and Water Works buildings on Spring Street in Culpeper into 22 studio and one-bedroom apartments spread among two buildings, now called Culpeper Lofts. The refurbished barracks converted to apartments will be called Vint Hill Lofts. The land the men’s barracks sits on is owned by Parkside Village LLC. The women’s barracks is owned by Vint Hill Village LLC. Parcels for each of the buildings have to be created and the assets sold or contributed to Echelon Resources, according to a statement from Erin Meadows of Parkside Village LLC. Vint Hill Farms Station was a U.S. Army post that gathered intelligence during World War II and researched and developed intelligence equipment during the Cold War. The post was closed in 1997. The county designated the post an economic development area. Parcels were sold. New construction
and some demolition occurred. “It has been 22 years since the military’s Vint Hill Farms Listening Post #1 closed and these abandoned buildings are a blight to the area and have attracted vandals. With the rehabilitation and reuse, the old barracks will offer working professionals an upscale market rate housing opportunity and the old barracks buildings will be an asset to the neighborhood,” said Edwin Gaskin, owner of Echelon Resources. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources and the U.S. National Park Service will review and approve the redesign of the buildings. The market rate units will be rented for at least five years and then can be converted to condos, according to Meadows. “The real value is the location of the women’s barracks and the men’s barracks and the ability to honor these buildings and deliver a premium project at attainable market rates. We plan to survey Fauquier’s employers and the local workforce market and create a list of interested potential residents,” Gaskin said. “There are no other existing multi-family units in the New Baltimore Service District and there are no other planned or similarly zoned parcels,” the application from Echelon Resources states. There is space for 200 new housing units. The majority would be one-bedroom units with some studio and two-bedroom units. Rents will be in the $1,000 to $1,500 per month range. There will also be a fitness center, club room and on-site storage area as part of the new development. The rehabilitation will include environmental assessment and hazard mitigation, Energy Star appli-

Those dogs who stay in the alpha position longest tend to be concerned with the welfare of the entire pack, not just with their own welfare. I suspect many of your readers may indeed have seen something similar in their individual life situations. Many of us have worked for folks who needed to constantly show us they were in charge. Alternately, you might have worked for someone who was in charge. If we use the terminology from Frans de Waal in his book "Chimpanzee Politics," the boss who has a constant need to show they are in charge is simply a bully. The boss who actually is in charge and looks out for the welfare of the larger group is a leader (or the alpha). The majority of those who rise to the top and stay there are also generous and kind to others because they know respect will help them maintain their position at the top. It is not enjoyable to work for a bully. It is enjoyable to work for, and with, a leader. The same thing happens in the dog world. I just have to pay attention and I can see it happen in more or less real time. If we are to quote from a Yogi-ism, "You can observe a lot by just watching." DON DESROSIERS Falls Church and Marshall
ances, high-efficiency heating, ventilation and air conditioning, new plumbing fixtures, upgraded electrical and new walls, ceilings, flooring and doors when rehabilitation of what exists isn’t possible. Echelon held four community outreach meetings between May and July of this year to explain the proposal and hear what residents and business owners had to say. Tim Hoffman, president of the Vint Hill Homeowners Association, said that he personally supports the proposal but others in the association do not, citing concerns about traffic, demand on services and the possible effect on property owners. The association hasn’t taken a position on the project as a group. “I have to look at those blighted buildings every day” and the proposal would be an improvement, Hoffman said. The project “would restore buildings that have been empty at least 23 years. No other organization has shown an interest in taking them on. This is a chance to turn something blighted into something aesthetic.” Hoffman continued, “They would be largely for single people and maybe some couples who are comparatively younger and would pose no burden on the schools and would likely not burden the fire and emergency services. I don’t think we’re looking at a significant increase in traffic.” Hoffman said he’s seen the Culpeper Lofts project. “The apartments are nice,” he said. “They are reasonably priced and are not low-income housing.” Echelon’s request for a text amendment will first be considered by the county planning commission, which will hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the county supervisors.

How’s the housing market in Fauquier? Great Piedmont Realtors reports on second-quarter analysis Staff Reports After a relatively flat start to the year, the housing market in the Greater Piedmont Realtors area is picking up pace in the second quarter. There were more sales in the region overall than a year ago, which represents the first sales growth since the fall of 2017. Price levels in the market continue to climb in most local markets, which has been a consistent theme for several years. The inventory of active listings has been expanding over the past three quarters, and during this same time period the average days on market has been trending up. The direction of these two metrics could indicate softening demand in some local markets, as homes are staying on the market longer and the inventory level is building. According to GPR report, the region’s econ-
omy is strong and provides a solid foundation for the housing market overall. The job base continues to expand, and unemployment remains below the state and national levels. These trends keep buyers confident and can lead to increased housing demand over time. In addition, the Federal Reserve announced that it will be lowering interest rates this summer, which will keep interest rates at historically low levels for the coming months. Key highlights from housing and economic data include: • The Greater Piedmont region has been experiencing broad-based economic growth in recent months. Very low unemployment suggests potential constraints on businesses looking to hire. • Interest rates are even lower now than they were at the beginning of the year, and there is no indication of significant increases in the months to come as the rates will be lowered again this summer by the Federal Reserve. • Sales activity in Fauquier County continues to expand this year after declining most of last year. • The median sales price in Fauquier County continues to climb and is now at its highest level in more than four years.
Fauquier County Snapshot Sales: Market activity continues to be stronger in 2019 than 2018 in the Fauquier housing market. There were 380 sales in the County during the second quarter, which is a 9% increase from a year ago, or 30 additional sales. This is the second consecutive quarter of sales growth for the county after declining most of last year. Home prices: Sales prices continue to climb in the county, a trend that has been consistent now for more than four years. At $404,500, the median sales price is up more than $15,000 from last year, a 4 % gain. The median sales price in Fauquier County is now at its highest level of any quarter in the past four years. Active listings: There were 473 active listings on the market at the end of the second quarter in Fauquier County, which is 71 more listings than this time last year, an 18 percent increase. The inventory of listings has been expanding in the county since the fall of last year after shrinking for nearly three years. Days on market: It’s taking longer to sell homes in Fauquier County on average, a trend that began to emerge in the summer of last year. At 57 days, the average days on market during the second quarter was

nearly a month higher (+25 days) than a year ago. Economic overview for the region Job growth in the Greater Piedmont region (defined as Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Rappahannock counties) accelerated at the end of 2018. Between December 2017 and December 2018 (the latest data available), the region added 611 new jobs. By comparison, the region had been only adding about 100 jobs in the first half of 2018. The region has been experiencing broad-based economic growth, with job gains across most sectors of the economy. The one exception was the retail trade sector, where there was a loss of 167 jobs between December 2017 and December 2018. However, there were gains in the health care (+111 jobs), education (+78 jobs) and professional and technical services (+164 jobs) sectors, which are all key sectors in the Greater Piedmont economy. The administration and building services sector also posted strong gains in December (+298 jobs).

BRIZZI’S BUCKETS LIST KEEPS GROWING Highland’s star hoopster is a hot D-I commodity By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Angelo Brizzi is drawing increased notice on the college basketball recruiting trail. The rising Highland School junior recently completed his second summer on the travel circuit as a member of the Baltimore Basketball Club’s 16-and-under squad. Brizzi has added six Division I scholarships offers since mid-May to bring his total to seven. Summer visits included trips to Howard, Yale, Penn, West Virginia and Kentucky. His first offer came from the Columbia University of the Ivy League at the first of the year. LaSalle University of the Atlantic 10 Conference extended the most recent overture. Brizzi also has had conversations with national champion Virginia, North Carolina, N.C. State and Virginia Tech of the Atlantic Coast Conference and Iowa, Northwestern and Maryland from the Big 10. Marquette, Fairfield, Stony Brook, George Washington and Princeton also have reached out. “It’s just a great opportunity regardless of the school. Whenever a coach calls, I’m thankful for the opportunity,” said Brizzi. Brizzi’s BBC unit’s national ranking was as high as third in the summer before late-season losses dropped them to 12th. Brizzi credits the intense summer schedule for expanding his skill set. “I’m playing with better players… against better competition,” he said. “You’ve always got to be ready to go out there and play hard because you always have a target on your back. If you slack for a game, you are going to get killed. No days off.” Brizzi says colleges are talking
Angelo, we want you
The following Division I men’s basketball programs that have made offers to Highland School guard Angelo Brizzi: COLUMBIA (Ivy League) HOWARD (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) PEPPERDINE (West Coast Conference) NAVAL ACADEMY (Patriot League) BROWN (Ivy League) LOYOLA (Maryland) (Patriot League) LaSALLE (Atlantic 10) about him playing point guard. “I’m 6-foot-3 so I’m not necessarily a recruit for an off guard spot. I’m not big enough to play there [on a full-time basis],” Brizzi said. “It’s allowed me to develop my ball handling skills by cutting down on turnovers and becoming a better passer,” he continued. “I’ve always been known as a good shooter, but it has helped the other aspects of my game.” Despite his proficiency, Brizzi still wants to improve his shooting. Increased athleticism also will be an emphasis, he said, as the college game increasingly relies on physical prowess. He plans to visit LaSalle and Drexel this fall, and North Carolina has invited him to come to Chapel Hill. Last winter he accepted invitations to see Louisville play at Virginia, and Northwestern at Maryland. Virginia was slated to come to Warrenton this spring to watch a workout before a last-minute cancellation. “I was bummed but I understand they may have other priorities,” Brizzi said. “Hopefully, they can come up another time.” Brizzi also was invited to participate in the East Region of the NCAA College Basketball Academy at the University of Connecticut this summer against many other college prospects. One report stated a Virginia assistant coach watched him during the event. Brizzi said he will not rush a de-

Trevor Yergey named Kettle Run’s new starting QB By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Fourth-year Kettle Run football coach Charlie Porterfield has declared senior Trevor Yergey as the Cougars’ new quarterback. After the season, Yergey asked for an opportunity to take over the starting role occupied by Gabe Chumley, who set multiple records in the Cougars’ 10-2 season in 2018. “And he worked all offseason to get the job,” Porterfield said. “We’ve been really pleased how quickly he’s grasped everything.” Kettle Run won’t debut until Sept. 6 thanks to a first week bye.

“Not having to think about a firstweek opponent, it’s been nice with so many new faces,” said Porterfield, who has 88 players in the program with 48 on the varsity roster. That varsity lineup includes three seniors on the offensive line who have starting experience. “They’re super talented up front and communicate well,” Porterfield said. “It’s a pretty special bunch.” The Cougars’ receiving corps has also shown potential. That unit includes a pair of first-year receivers in sophomore Jordan Robinson and senior Alex Smith. “We’ve been really impressed,” Porterfield said.

By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Fauquier’s volleyball landscape is radically different, but the results could be wonderful. Coach Diana Story watched seven seniors, including her entire starting star-studded lineup, graduate last May. That team went 20-6 and made the Class 4 state tournament. Three Class 4 all-state players were in that group, as was a fourth all-Region 4C choice. Rachel Crowe, Kiki Scott and Megan Constantino were four-year starters, and two others were three-year lettermen. “It’s a lot different,” Story said as work continued for next Tuesday’s first match at Loudoun Valley. Last year’s vast talent and experience culminated in the 2018 Northwestern District championship over Millbrook, second place in the Region 4C playoffs behind eventual state champion Loudoun County and the program’s first state berth since 2003.

Story understands there will be a strong tendency to undervalue Fauquier this fall, and she believes those thoughts will work to the Falcons’ advantage. “People are going to expect me to walk in the door and not have a whole
lot,” she predicted. “And I hope they do because this team is going to surprise some people. That’s going to be the fun part.” The long-time coach admits she was not always so upbeat about the approaching season. Story entered the summer knowing there was copious work ahead. Then came the annual July camp sojourn to Liberty University, and the Falcons’ performance immedi-
ately began to assuage any misgivings. “I went to camp not expecting whole lot,” she said of tempered prospects. “But I left camp with high expectations. I’m now very excited about this season.” The upbeat feelings began the very first night, with play on a higher plane than she anticipated. The coach watched as team bonding and the level of play continued to rise during the stay. The week underscored Story’s contention the talent cupboard is not bare. She has a foundation of five varsity returnees in lone senior Olivia Eisele, juniors Daniella Lawhorn, Kate Wilvert and Emma Carter and sophomore Meredith Scott. “They have come to the forefront.

LIBERTY VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW
Versatile Eagles expect a spike in the win column By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
When third-year Liberty volleyball coach Carrie Marek took over the Eagle program in the fall of 2017, she projected a five-year timetable for the program to reach consistent stability. The team showed signs of responding that fall, but the 2018 campaign was a different story. Her plans were derailed due to a season-long slew of injuries and medical issues, spoiling all attempts to muster continuity and team bonding. “I think I ran the same lineup twice the entire season,” Marek said of the frustrating 1-18 final record. Lineups changed constantly, as one player would return only to see one or two teammates replace them on the injury list. “I hope we will find that to be different this year. We have a different chemistry with this team,’” Marek said, underlining her true desire is to put a consistent group on the floor nightly to build momentum. “But we haven’t had a lot of practices yet, so I haven’t seen the true potential of what they can do.” Marek believes her building plan is back on track for year three based on early observations.

The effort is present, but a greater focal point will be nurturing an increase in the confidence level. Marek recalled several instances last fall when the Eagles were within reach of victory only to suffer mental lapses that foiled the moment. “That’s what we need to see,” the coach stressed. “Some of the mindset has been ‘Well, we’re Liberty. We haven’t won, so it doesn’t matter.’ “I want the pride to be back at Liberty. For a long time, the record has not reflected the true heart of the team.” Last year’s injury surge has provided one major positive element.

KETTLE RUN VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW
Under new management, Cougars look fit and focused By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The 2019 Kettle Run volleyball program has adopted a mantra of “Why not us?” New coach Mike Howard wants his charges to strengthen beliefs in their own abilities rather than merely admiring a foe’s capabilities. “Why can’t we do that,” Howard asks of his players. A second key question is: “What did they do to get there?” That query focuses on the hard work needed to be successful. This is Howard’s third year in the Cougar program. He was the freshman coach for 2017 and the junior varsity coach last fall, so he knows the returning talent. When he took control in April, one of his priorities was to get his team to handle difficult spans in matches. Several potential victories were lost last fall when the Cougars couldn’t stave off rival runs. They finished 9-10. “When I first got here, I saw the Kettle Run girls had talent,” Howard said, but he noted their inability at times to take a hit and recover.

FAST FACTS Coach: Mike Howard 2017 record: 9-10 Varsity returnees: Olivia Conte, Sr.; Jordan Dixon, Sr.; Lily McIntyre, Sr.; Erin Salzman, Sr.; Rachael Schwind, Sr.; Mae Sutliff, Jr.; Kate Pohlmann, Jr. First game: Aug. 26 at Woodgrove “If somebody came in and punched them in the mouth, they powered down,” he continued. “They had a hard time getting back up. We’re not going to be that team [this year].” A challenging summer conditioning program saw the Cougars spend ample time on the school’s track. More important to Howard, who replaced Janelle Sutliff, was the need to meet the inevitable psychological trials. The girls nicknamed the stadium steps “The Summit” during multiple trips to the top of the bleachers. Sprints, middle distance runs and agilities also were part of the workouts. “The reason was to get them mentally tough,” said Howard, who says he’s seeing an uptick in the focus. Howard will rely on seven varsity returnees in Olivia Conte, Jordan Dixon, Lily McIntyre, Kate Pohlmann, Erin Salzman, Rachel Schwind and Mae Sutliff. Faith Schaefer, Nia Rogers, Taylor Reinaldo, Zoe Lily and Kayla Gilliam complete the squad. “Right now, the team we have, they are clicking,” he praised as preparation continued for next Mon-

He also cited the positive bonding and communication. He expects to use a 6-2 alignment. Work will continue toward adding more diversity to the attack through the addition of set plays.

Kettle Run wins Fauquier Cup golf title By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Despite playing without their No. 1 golfer, the Kettle Run Cougars won the 2019 Fauquier Cup championship and emerged as the most successful team in the event’s 22-year history. Kettle Run has won eight titles in the 10 years since the school opened, topping the seven championships won by Fauquier since the event’s inception in 1998. Liberty follows with six titles in the Fauquier Cup – formerly the Combs Cup – while Highland has one in the unique event that features four styles of play, often pairing two golfers as teammates, over two days. This year it featured nine-hole rounds of scramble, best ball, Texas scramble and singles. The Cougars won the 2019 championship Aug. 12-13 at Fauquier Springs Country Club by beating the runner-up Falcons 390-403 with the Eagles third at 452. Kettle Run No. 1 Reece Massei sat out due to illness, so Trevor Berg and Colin Doyle combined to play as the Cougars’ top team. They shot a 31 in the scramble, 42 in the best ball and 34 in the Texas scramble. “When they handled their business really well, that gave us that little sense that ‘OK, we’re good. We’re a team. We’re not one person,” Kettle Run coach Dale Edwards said. “That was huge. That’s our depth.” Berg also shot a 45 in singles play, but Doyle’s round (49) did not count toward Kettle Run’s team score because three other teammates hit under 48. Gabby Finan, who missed part of the Fauquier Cup due to school testing, shot 43 in singles with Joey Shull at 41 and Ben Gray at 47. Finan and Gray shot 33 in the scramble and 41 in the best ball, while Gray and Shull rounded out Kettle Run’s overall team score by shooting 33 in the Texas scramble. Fauquier’s Bryce Leazer led all golfers in singles play by shooting a 39 with teammate Nate Winebarger shooting 42, Drew Howser shooting 44 and Cory Burke shooting 51. In scramble play, Howser and Winebarger shot 35 with Leazer and Burke shooting 36.

This year’s event was the third since switching names from the Combs Cup to the Fauquier Cup after original organizer Doug Combs moved out of Fauquier County. After 2016, Edwards and Falcons coach Bob Martin took over the event’s organization. “It’s important for county golf to keep it going,” Edwards said. “The kids really enjoy having a partner” and a different format.

Buckwalter elated with huge Falcon football turnout By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Fauquier had only two senior starters in 2018, which led to an 0-10 mark and arguably the worst football season in FHS history. But those struggles with an inexperienced team have now given the 2019 Falcons the deepest program in the county. New coach Karl Buckwalter has 98 kids overall with 45-50 likely to dress for varsity games. “A phenomenal turnout,” said Buckwalter, who replaced four-year coach Joe Prince. “The majority of the squad returned, and then some. We got some guys out of the hallways. “So we have an opportunity to not have a bunch of kids go both ways” on offense and defense, he said. “They’re hungry. They’re eager. I think they’re just champing at the bit.” Juniors J.T. Diehl and Evan Jackson locked in a competition for starting quarterback after Diehl started at last fall.
Falcons expect to maintain success FALCONS, from page 18 Now, it’s their turn,” the coach envisaged. Fauquier also benefits from a trio of incoming transfers in Stephanie Robson and Alyssa Robson from Culpeper and Gia DiFlippo from Warren County. Plus, Skyler Furr, Laney Weyman, Keyaria Jasper, Lindsey Gorsira and Adelina Blas are five improved players from the 2018 junior varsity level.

Fauquier began this preseason last Friday with a promising scrimmage against Skyline. The Falcons outscored the Hawks by two touchdowns, 3-1.
Liberty update
First-year Liberty football coach Travis Buzzo has juniors Sammy Marouse and Dylan Bailey battling to be the starting quarterback after they shared time in that role on junior varsity last season. Marouse is recovering from a knee injury and won’t be cleared [to play] for a couple more weeks, which could favor Bailey. Poor weather cut short Liberty’s first preseason scrimmage Aug. 15 against Eastern View. Next up Friday is a benefit scrimmage at Brooke Point. “We’ve had our ups and downs right now like any team,” Buzzo said. “Once we have consistently good practices I think we’ll have a chance to be pretty” solid. The Eagles’ varsity unit now has around 15 kids who returned after gaining significant experience in 2018. ing practices will reflect that need. Success will not be an instantaneous process, Story predicts, citing the always challenging schedule. “We have work to do. Am I going to get frustrated? Of course,” Story began. “We may take a couple of hits, but I think as the season goes along, you are to continue to see them grow as a team and as individuals. That’s all I can ask.” This fall’s Falcon junior varsity team includes Emma Round, Lana Roda, Haley Saulsbury, Carly McMurphy, Mikayla Gilmore, Alyson Hardy, Abbie Mils, Jenna Minter, Samantha McIntosh, Catherine Smith, Therese Heisler, Olivia Jackson and Vania Rosales.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN In Memoriam offers equine and pet cremation, memorial services By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
To lose a beloved animal is often an emotionally devastating experience. But to lose one as big as a horse adds logistics to the grief. Dealing with 1,000 pounds of dead animal can be tricky and traumatic. Some landowners are lucky enough to be able to bury their horses on their own property, and some boarded horses can be buried at the farm where they live, if acceptable to the stable owners. But if you’re not a landowner, choices narrow. Valley Protein, a regional rendering operator, used to pick up dead horses – along with cattle and other livestock, but recent regulations mean this is no longer an option. Composting is possible, but this is a scientific process not as simplistic as throwing a dead animal into a muck heap. A few local foxhunt clubs still accept horses, but they cannot have any drugs in their system – especially not euthanasia drugs, and most only take horses that live within their hunt territory. It’s not a pleasant thought, but it’s a subject horse owners should address before it becomes an emergency, say experts. A new area business is offering a worry-free choice – cremation. “It’s not something people knew was even an option, given the size of the animal,” says Larry Brissing, whose In Memoriam, based in Chantilly, offers a full-service experience of comfort and end-of-life care for what Brissing calls “all creatures great and small. We know about cremation for people, and it has been a way to take care of – and memorialize – our small companion animals for a long time. “But horses? People may not know about that.” “There’s less disposal on property now than there was years ago,” says Marshall veterinarian Dr. Tim Casey. “It is a good idea to have a plan in place for your horses.” “Disposal of our equine friends has become somewhat of a problem since rendering companies such as Valley Protein will no longer pick these animals up,” adds Rose Hill Vet veterinarian and lifelong horsewoman Dr. Kim Cole. “Burial costs $400-$500. It’s never an easy choice to make.” Burial – if it’s even possible on your site, can be tricky. “With euthanasia fluid in the body, scavenger animals can get sick, or even die, if they eat the dead horse,” Brissing says. “I know of a farm that buried a horse (that had been put to sleep with euthanasia fluid) too shallow. Bald eagles got into it, and some of them died. It’s serious business. “Cremation is probably the most eco-friendly way to deal with the remains of our pets,” Brissing says. “It’s a hard conversation to have, even with yourself.

Memorializing a favorite horse, or any pet, is handled by a new, regional equine and pet crematorium, In Memoriam, located in Chantilly. Visit impetservices.com. But you’ve got to know what you’re going to do.”
Meet Larry Brissing
Brissing, 38, grew up near West Point, New York. His father owned an excavation company, and Brissing grew up “doing a lot of shoveling, and running heavy equipment.” His mom, a teachers’ assistant, was always bringing home orphaned baby squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, even a snake once. He studied wildlife management at SUNY, and did his first work-study program in northern Virginia, planting trees for a wetlands studies company. He moved to Virginia permanently in 2003, getting valuable experience in “another emotionally charged industry” – insurance restoration, putting homes back together after a fire or a flood. “People are, of course, extremely vested,” he says. “I’d help through that situation and say ‘it’s OK. We’re going to rebuild your house.’ Take it and turn it around. Pet cremation is just the same.” Almost as often as he’s called to pick up a deceased animal, Brissing says he works as an ad hoc counselor. “I had a woman call me just today,” he says. “She had to put her cat down yesterday, but she couldn’t call me ‘til today because the literally couldn’t even talk.” Emotional distress isn’t limited to dogs and cats: “I know the same way I feel about my dog, some people feel the same about their hamster.”

Care isn’t cheap
Cremation for a large animal ranges from $500 to $3,000. “The level of service dictates the price,” Brissing says. A smaller animal – a dog, for instance, is $100-$200. In Memoriam offers on-farm pickup, although you can drop off, too. After cremating, remains are placed in vessels ranging from a cardboard box to a custom-crafted ceramic statue. They sell memorial bricks that owners can take along with them, or bricks can be placed in a decorative garden outside In Memoriam’s offices. Hair can be used to create custom jewelry or fired in a special ceramic process. Pick-up, often within an hour, can be coordinated with the veterinarian, but “if something happens at night, or on a holiday, we can be there, too,” Brissing says. “We want to give you peace of mind.” In Memoriam can pick up pets from the Warrenton Animal Health Lab following necropsy, too. Their enclosed box truck is fitted with a winch and a strap-on equine rescue slide like used by technical animal rescue units. Handlers can manage tricky extractions, including when a horse dies inside a standard 12 by 12 feet box stall with a 4-foot doorway. The building comprises 3,000 square feet, reception area up front, receiving dock discretely out back. The crematorium itself is a steel-cased chamber, heated to 2,000 degrees by natural gas. Smoke is recycled and re-incinerated, zero emissions and no visible smoke or smell. You can see a heat plume, a column of air that seems to shimmer, rising from the building, but nothing else. Cremating a horse takes about three hours. All that’s left after the process, Brissing notes, is powdered bone: everything else disappears with the smoke. For an average-sized horse, there are about 50 pounds of “ashes.” A popular choice for remains these days, Brissing says, is an innovative, related business called Let Your Love Grow. Remains are placed in a compostable planting box topped with seeds or a seedling such as a tree or bush. An owner can then plant the memorial tree at home; the cardboard box will rot away and lighten the soil as the tree grows. Other owners prefer remains in an old-fashioned urn. “That’s another reason people don’t always want to bury a horse or a pet,” he maintains. “People hate the thought of ‘leaving their pet behind’ if they move. With an urn, you can take it with you. “The Bible says that God will give you everything you need when you go to heaven,” Brissing surmises when asked if there are pets in the afterlife. “If what you need is a pet, I bet that God will provide that for you.”

Local teen continues her reign Miss Teen Fauquier County Fair raises awareness for pediatric cancer By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
Fifteen-year-old Ashley Hume spent Friday, Aug. 16, in South Carolina. She was there to say goodbye to her sister Sara who is an entering freshman at The Citadel. “I’m really excited for her,” said Hume, “she did ROTC in high school and was awarded a four-year Army scholarship.” Hume also has an older brother who is a junior at George Mason University. A sophomore at Kettle Run High School, Hume admittedly is going to miss her sister, but she has plenty to keep her busy. “I play varsity basketball and softball,” said Hume who also plays on a travel softball team. In addition to her schoolwork and sports, she is also the reigning Teen Miss Fauquier County Fair. Crowned in 2018 and with no fair held in 2019, Hume continues to hold the title. “I’ll hold my title until a new one is crowned in 2020,” said Hume. The same goes for Miss Fauquier County

Fair, Alexis Tafrawe. Hume’s platform is pediatric cancer awareness. According to the American Cancer Society, childhood cancers make up less than 1 percent of all cancers diagnosed each year. About 11,060 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2019. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades. The good news is that because of major treatment advances in recent decades, more than 80 percent of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. During her reign, she cut her hair and donated to Locks of Love, participated in the Ronald McDonald Red Shoe 5K, and created 50 toiletry care bags for residents at Ronald McDonald House in Falls Church. After spending many months gathering donations, she purchased the remaining items herself. On Aug. 15, the bags were delivered to the Ronald McDonald House in Falls Church. “This past year I’ve been helping people in the community…I want to focus on promoting my platform,” said Hume who may consider entering more pageants in the future. “I definitely plan to compete for Miss Fauquier and I’m considering other county fair pageants.” Some counties, like Warren, don’t require that
you live in the county. “It’s been very rewarding watching these girls promote their platforms and giving back to our community this past year,” added Ashley’s mother, Linda Hume. Hume has found that competing and winning these local pageants is rewarding.
“What’s really cool about pageants is that it is more and more not just about being a pretty face but being able to promote other work,” said Hume who looks forward to the 2020 Fauquier County Fair and passing her crown to another while perhaps seeking a new crown for herself.

A warrior wordsmith tells tales of Vietnam By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
At age 83, Bob Touhey has no plans to slow down. He’s recently published a book on his exploits as a Navy captain serving in Vietnam in the late ’60s. He’s got another book coming out this fall which takes a different look at his life – one that involves his love of family and animals. Talking about his life and passions recently outside Deja Brew in Warrenton, Touhey, known by close friends and family as Captain Bob, has a long list of stories that he wants to share that span decades. A native of New York, Touhey has called Virginia home for many seasons. “I don’t ride anymore,” said Touhey of his years astride horses frequenting shows and the fox hunt scene. Touhey laughs reminiscing about one event where he was headed toward one jump and the horse decided to take another. “He left me behind,” said Touhey whose arm was stepped on by another horse before he could get up. “Nothing broken,” he added. A motorcycle roared by on Main Street, engine rumbling. Touhey smiled. “I love motorcycles but my wife won’t let me ride them.”
FAUQUIER FOCUS “Seawolf, Where You From? A Warrior’s Tales,” is Touhey’s account of how he got to Vietnam and what he did there. He writes of the officers that he served with and the men of Helicopter Attack Squadron Three (HA[L]-3), a combat unit that he was attached to from December 1968 to December 1969. Touhey pays tribute to many of his fellow servicemen as they protected Navy SEALs, Mobile Strike Forces (Green Beret B-Teams), US Navy PBRs (Patrol Boat River), the Chinese Nung airboat pilots and other allies. Each chapter in his book gives the reader not only insight into Touhey’s emotions during that conflict but a historical look back to a time of turmoil and triumph for the United States of America. Touhey lost friends. He and others suffered consequences from the use of Agent Orange, a powerful herbicide that

Captain Bob Touhey the United States used to destroy crops and foliage, hiding places for the enemy. “I don’t think the military knew at that time how dangerous Agent Orange was to people’s health … we weren’t trying to purposely destroy a country; we just wanted to win a war,” wrote Touhey in one of his chapters. Touhey’s military service includes more than 550 combat missions in Vietnam, flying both helicopter and fixed wing. “It helps to be nuts,” laughed Touhey when detailing many of the near-death misses that he and others encountered during that time. “HA[L]-3 was one of the most decorated Navy Squadrons in the Vietnam War. I was – and am to this day – proud to claim membership among them,” wrote Touhey in the foreword of his book. A lover of poetry, particularly Walt Whitman, Touhey says that his second book of free verse poetry might be even closer to his heart than his memories of wartime. “A warrior who has taken life in the pursuit of an honorable goal often develops an acute appreciation for life in even the smallest creation. A military leader who has experienced the destruction and devastation that war leaves behind often comes to recognize beauty in ways and often places that others do not notice,” writes Touhey’s friend Steve “Doc” Troxel as an introduction to “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling.” Touhey’s love of the land, nature and the creatures that live there are
expressed soulfully in this collection, in addition to beloved pets that no longer grace his home near Bald Mountain. After 15 years, the Touhey’s lost Jakie, a Shih Tzu, in May of this year. Lily of the Valley, another Shih Tzu, has now joined their household in addition to a German shepherd, a yellow lab and a Jack Russell. Not to mention their miniature horse, Newt Gingrich. “I’m still in the fight,” said Touhey who is managing partner of Virginia Strategic Security Group. As such, he remains involved with counter terrorism training and education. “I’ll be good, and you be good,” chuckled Touhey recounting his one-on-one encounter and conversation with a large black bear on a summer’s eve many years ago. The two met on a path, both standing erect and both walked away peaceably. Touhey mused about the layers of memories that he carries, from his time at the Naval Academy, to taking jumps over high fences and inevitably back to his writing. “I’m a storyteller,” said Touhey, “I have many stories to share.” Touhey plans to donate a portion of his book sales to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and Shriners Hospital. “Seawolf, Where You From?” by Bob Touhey is available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon. His second book is planned to publish this fall. Reach Bob Touhey at 703-338-5991. Reach Anita Sherman at asherman@fauquier.com

Warrenton Chorale members have shared their voices for nearly 60 years at two annual concerts, held in the spring and during the Christmas season. Chorale rehearsals begin on Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Heritage Presbyterian Church, 7850 Millfield Drive, Warrenton. The Warrenton Chorale will be led by recently appointed Artistic Director Mary DeMarco Roland, a choral music teacher and conductor with more than 30 years’ experience. Roland first led the Chorale during its
successful spring 2019 concert “Of Thee We Sing” at The Barn at Lord Fairfax Community College. She has chosen a fresh selection of a dozen pieces of music for the holiday season, including arrangements of well-known Christmas hymns and favorite secular tunes. BRAVA’s conductor Bob Schoenike is in his 17th year with the group,
which will perform three numbers as part of the holiday program. The Warrenton Chorale is a community, nonprofit organization established in 1953. The Chorale was first started by local choir members from area churches and has grown to more than 75 members. For more information, visit the Chorale website or email info@warrentonchorale.org.

Aging with ease and grace
Learn this baby boomer’s secret By Monica Fernandi
If I had to guess, you chose to read this article because you were born somewhere between 1946 and 1964? Or perhaps your parents were born then, and you wish to deem some sage advice for them? Personally, I put myself in the “Last of the Baby Boomers” category, being born in 1964. Either way there are 75 million boomers right now-adults between the ages of 54 and 72. On the flip side of the spectrum, Millennials and Generation Y folks will soon be passing us by as far as numbers go. However, our life expectancy has gone up to well into our 80s and therefore living with ease and grace is essential to keep us moving. Functional aging is a hot topic and a huge market right now. We have places to go and people to visit. We have activities to cross off our bucket list and events we wish to be a part of while we still can. Whether you plan to climb Mount Everest Base Camp with me this fall or want to travel to the Galapagos Island with your grandson while being able to keep up, your mobility and strength are important to sustain an active lifestyle.
GROW STRENGTH GROW WITHIN STRONG MONICA FERNANDI Truthful tidbit: I did not do my first headstand or pull-up until I turned 50. Call me a late bloomer but timing is an individual thing and my courage to even attempt these activities developed over the years. Sometimes it truly is our fear that holds us back from growing stronger or trying something new. Perhaps an event happened in our life that left an unpleasant feeling and we don’t wish to re-visit that feeling again. A past fall, for example, can change your outlook on trying something new. We’ve all had a fall at some point, but as our body ages, the postfall repercussions can stack up. As a professionally trained dancer in my 20s, I was able to increase speed and power while keeping tempo with tap, jazz and ballet, and even if I got caught up in my own two feet, I bounced right back up again. As a first degree black belt in the art of taekwondo, I was taught how to fall as our drills over and over included big mats to cushion our bones and muscles along the way. Quick reflex
muscles are strengthened along with breathing exercises to assist the fear that can come over you while sparing another student or performing beautifully flowing forms. I began that training in my 30s after having all three of my children, so they trained with me a bit. Upon my 40th birthday I did what other “mid-life” people do: jump out of an airplane, with a parachute and of course an instructor. I loved that so much I wanted to do it annually! Now in my 50s what was left? Oh right, headstands and pull-ups. Falling has happened while learning these practices as well as during some yoga poses. After all, practice is how we learn and falling down is how we get stronger. Bounce back up and find some forgiveness for yourself, and grace. Along the way we want to continue doing what we love to do, right? Playing golf, tennis, hiking, biking, dancing, going on adventurous vacations, gardening and forever fluffing up the nest are all ways we connect, maintain vitality and continue to enjoy our lives. Feeling good is important and so is honoring your beautiful body. Remember to drink enough water, get
plenty of sleep and eat as organically as possible. These are all necessary ingredients to sustain your amazing machine. It is never too late, by the way, to learn how to implement these important steps. One step at a time we get to the top of a mountain, learn a new dance for our child’s wedding or build up to strength training and balance improvement. So, to wrap up Monica’s Secret to aging with ease and grace: once again, it’s as easy as A, B, C: • Choose an attitude of gratitude; fall down and be grateful to get back up. • Breathe deeply, it will calm your thoughts and help let go of judging yourself. • Have courage to take up something new or call me today and I will help to make life grander than ever! We are, after all, the boomers. So, let’s B-O-O-M! Monica Fernandi is a yoga/fitness instructor and personal trainer.

REAL ESTATE WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
At home in a Cape Cod Nothing says “home sweet home” quite like a Cape Cod! With loads of curb appeal, this Southern Living-style Cape Cod is classic and pretty, offering so much charm and character! Custom-built in 2007, this home is open and sunny, and packs a lot of living on the main level. Designed for a modern country lifestyle, the great room is certainly the epicenter of family activity. Open to the kitchen and the dining room, and even the sundeck, the floor plan keeps the whole family connected to each other. Meal preparation is efficient and easy in this well-appointed kitchen with quality stainless appliances, an abundance of custom birch cabinetry and attractive “Verde Peacock” granite counters. The breakfast nook is a great place to grab a quick bite before starting the day. Located on the main level, the owner’s suite opens to the back deck and has a sunny bay window, to allow in plenty of sunshine and fresh air. Two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with privacy room are elements of thoughtful design. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath are also on the main level. An organized mudroom is a practical, “must-have” feature in any country home. Here, lots of cabinets and counter space for folding laundry, plus a half bath make this a great place to kick off your shoes when coming in from the garage. Upstairs, the theatre room offers a wonderful away space to watch a favorite movie, and a private office
nook to work from home. This space has, on occasion, doubled nicely as an “in-law” suite with a third full bathroom and “kitchenette.” Dormers add architectural appeal both inside and out. Outside they are sweet and charming. Inside they are intriguing little nooks that provide added floor space and bring in lots of sunlight. With approximately 3,092 square feet of finished living space on two levels, there’s plenty of room to expand in the unfinished walk-out basement. Greet the day with morning coffee and cool breezes on the covered front porch. Porches are a great way to help a house live larger, by extending the living space outdoors. A spacious sundeck in the back offers a comfortable place for cookouts and entertaining. With 7.7 acres of privacy, there is plenty of room to dig into the soil and plant your garden for fresh veggies to put on the grill. The automated sprinkler system is a gardener’s dream. Parking is no problem. With a two-car side-load garage, huge paved parking area, and circular driveway, there is plenty of room for vehicles … including an RV. An ideal location for an outdoor enthusiast, it’s easy to explore attractions, like the Rappahannock River and C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area: more than 4,300 acres that is popular for hiking, fishing and hunting. Though private and surrounded by nature, the home is convenient to the commuting routes to Northern Virginia, as well as an amazing selection
of shops, restaurants and services in the historic towns of Warrenton, Fredericksburg and Manassas. 2578 Dream Catcher Lane in Goldvein is selling for $509,000.

Ask the Arborist James Woods
I.S.A. Certified Arborist Caring for the soil in the fall yields results in the spring Fall is a season when soil moisture and temperature is perfect for root growth. Root systems store reserves of starch that will become active energy in the spring when new growth occurs. In landscapes soil nutrients are constantly being depleted by trees, grasses and shrubs as well as by leaching or run off. A critical key to maintaining strong, healthy plants is ensuring necessary nutrients are in place and are available for the plants to use for photosynthesis and growth. Depending on soil type and location the soil nutrient compositions can vary quite a bit. The first step in determining the soil care needs of your plants should be a thorough inspection of the site and soil sampling as needed. Based on the inspection and soil analysis a custom soil care program can then be developed for your plants specifically. In some situations where tree roots are either not healthy enough or are simply not present fertilization may not be the answer. No amount of fertilizer will help a tree if the roots are simply not there. In these cases, the root growth zone should be improved to encourage more root growth. Winter months can be hard on plants. They sustain storm damage, freezing and thawing temperatures, animal browsing and may have overwintering pests and diseases that will appear in the spring. Having a professional who is trained in horticulture and arboriculture assess the condition of your landscape and take steps to protect your plantings for the winter months is a proactive approach to the health care of your plants. Arboriculture is a rapidly growing industry with a wide range of employment types. We have career opportunities available for those interested in caring for trees and shrubs. Please visit our website for details on different types of opportunities and benefits. For more information call us at (540) 3642401 or 1-877-Bartlett.

HOME BURIAL Robert Frost’s poem “Home Burial” depicts a husband who is talking to his wife as she sits and seems to gaze through a window at her child’s grave in the family graveyard. If you have ever seen graves within the confines of a family’s estate, you might have asked yourself whether this centuries-old tradition persists. The answer is that there are no laws against home burials in every state except California, Indiana, Washington, and the District of Columbia. Some states require the services of a Funeral Director be utilized, and it is important to check local zoning laws before burying on private land or in a home cemetery. Additional restrictions may also apply with respect to embalming, caskets, and other factors. During our lives we plan for education, having a family, vacations, weddings and retirement. We purchase insurance to help us in situations that may happen, such as accidents, earthquakes, fire, floods and theft. We should also consider the pre-planning of our funeral service as it not only lets our survivors know what our wishes are, but it can also avoid financial hardship. To learn about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “My own funeral, I’d like to be laid out in a coffin in my own house. I would like my coffin to be put in the double parlor, and I would like all the flowers to be white.” Anne Rice
