‘This has touched almost everyone’ How the opioid crisis impacts families, public services across the region By Randy Rieland

It’s the only Part 1 of a 4 way to save part series them, they tell on the opioid him, because epidemic and in jail, their its impacts on sons or daughthe community ters can get the treatment they need. But, as Jenkins points out, the notion that inmates have access to life-changing drug rehab programs is “nowhere near the truth.” At Fauquier Hospital, doctors and nurses have become painfully familiar with the challenges of caring for addicted mothers and their babies. In 2015, in fact, the rate of infants who went through drug withdrawal in Fauquier County was four times the state’s rate. “We’ve had as many as five addicted babies in here at one time,” said Jeremy Challiet, a pediatrician at Fauquier Hospital. “The nurses need a break when that’s all they’re dealing with, day in, day out.

It certainly increased stress.” About 91 percent of the people at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center are either in jail on a drug charge or have admitted to having a substance abuse problem, according to Maj. Amanda Lambert, director of support services. “We’re seeing more first-time offenders than ever before.” Earlier this year, officials in Rappahannock County scrambled to

launch a recruitment campaign for foster families because only one was available in the entire county. As a result, children needing foster care were being sent out of the county to more urban areas as far away as Richmond and Roanoke. Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Melissa Cupp said about half of Rappahannock’s foster placements See OPIOID, page 4

10 Ripple Effects The impact of the opioid epidemic goes far beyond overdose deaths. Here are just some of the ways it has affected communities.

Rising HIV and hepatitis rates

Elevated levels of neonatal abstinence syndrome — babies go through withdrawal

More employee absenteeism and lower productivity

Additional stress and costs on child protective services and foster care systems

Crowded jails and more strain on criminal justice system

Shattered families and children growing up in stressful, unstable environments

Increased demands on first responders, law enforcement officers and hospital staffs, and rising emergency and healthcare costs

Rotarians harvest watermelons to feed the hungry For the past several years, the Warrenton Rotary Club has participated in local food drives by planting a variety of vegetables at the Fauquier Community Farm off Meetze Road in the spring, and then returning in the late summer for the harvest. The project is managed by the farm’s executive director, Jim Hankins. Last year, the crop was peppers of all sorts; this year’s harvest was much larger – watermelons, both seedless and with seeds. Planted within black plastic,

the seedings grew, with vines and fruit soon covering the ground. As Hankins noted, “If the watermelon has a yellow spot on the bottom, it’s ready to go.” On Aug. 21, a crew of Rotarians helped by family members braved the hot sun to harvest approximately 2,000 pounds of watermelons, which were loaded on Hankins’ truck and taken to a storage building on the farm. From there, the watermelons will be distributed to food banks in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties.

Leckner Ford in Marshall remains open with reduced staff By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

As of Tuesday, Aug. 27, Leckner Ford in Marshall remains open, though with a reduced staff and operating hours, as Carl Leckner tries to keep the dealership he’s owned for three years going. Ford Credit reduced his credit lines last year and has refused to reopen them, Leckner said in a letter he sent to the Fauquier Times last week after two employees told the Times the dealership would be closing last Friday. Leckner said on Monday that the dealership remains open; just two people are handling sales and the service department is closed. The dealership is reportedly open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday with no weekend hours. “Currently we’re just open with limited staff. If I’m able to get [the dealership] back up fully I’ll bring back staff laid off,” said Leckner. “My goal is to get it fully continuing as a Ford store.” The Times sought comment from Ford Motor Company’s corporate headquarters about the situation with Leckner but didn’t receive an immediate reply. The Northern Virginia Daily reported that Leckner’s Chevrolet dealership in Woodstock closed its doors this past weekend and the vehicle inventory was moved off the lot.

Leckner sent a letter to the Times on Thursday that’s reprinted in full below: Dear Residents and surrounding businesses of Marshall Virginia. Leckner Ford of Marshall has been one of my greatest joys owning. I have been so proud of the employees and it saddens me to consider closing.  Due to Ford Credit reducing my credit lines over the last year I am unable to continue operations.  Speaking for myself and all the employees of our dealership we are so sad to see one of the oldest Ford Dealerships in the country possibly close. We have been working with Ford Credit to try and resolve the matter. Unfortunately, they have refused to reopen our financing. Employees of Ford Motor Company have been working with me and I believe they don’t want to see their financing arm put me out of business.  I know Ford Motor Company is proud of the job we have done. I can only pray someone at Ford Motor Company and or Ford Credit helps us solve the issues. I will keep you updated.  Thank you for the love you gave our dealership over the years. We are fighting hard to keep it in business.  We appreciate the residence and businesses of Marshall, Virginia for your support. We love you.  Thank you, Carl Leckner

Workshop set on Warrenton comp plan The Town of Warrenton has a vision and wants the public’s help in determining how to get there. A community workshop on the Town of Warrenton’s Comprehensive Plan Update will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the PATH Foundation, 321 Walker Drive, Suite 201, Warrenton. “Community members want more vitality and local amenities while also maintaining our small-town character.

Now how do we get there?” town officials said in announcing the meeting. “We have decisions to make and we need to hear from you.” For more information, contact the Community Development Department at planning@warrenton.gov or 540-347-2405.

Leckner bought what was formerly Marshall Ford in 2016 and renamed it Leckner Ford. Marshall Ford marked its 100th anniversary in continuous operation as a Ford dealership in 2015. The dealership is in a historic building on the corner of Main Street and Winchester Road. In 2017, Leckner withdrew an application for a special permit to build a Ford and Nissan dealership on undeveloped land at Main Street and Old Stockyard in Marshall after encountering opposition about the size of the building, lighting and concerns that it wasn’t in keeping with the character of Marshall. “Our goal was to be a good neighbor. We never thought we’d build something they didn’t want,” Leckner said at the time the application

was withdrawn. He ended up not buying the property and it remains undeveloped. According to Automotive News, Leckner sold two Nissan dealerships in Virginia this spring to Patrick Dibre and PSD Automotive Group of Bridgewater, New Jersey. The sale of a Leckner Nissan dealership in Ellicott City, Maryland, was about to close. The Leckner website lists five dealerships in operation – the Ford dealership In Marshall, a Ford dealership and a Chevrolet dealership in Woodstock, Virginia, a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership and a Ford dealership in King George, Virginia.

Corrections

In last week’s story about a vigil to remember Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sid Bolden, Todd Rosamond, former president of the New Baltimore Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company, was mentioned. His name and title were incorrectly stated. In the August 21 edition, in an article titled, “Comcast declines to partner on broadband grant,” Fauquier County Supervisor Rick Gerhardt was quoted inaccurately. The story should have read, “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 Morrisville.”

How the opioid crisis impacts families,

Opioids and babies Since 2000, the rate of babies who go through drug withdrawal after birth—a condition known as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS)—has skyrocketed by more than 400 percent in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At the turn of this century, only about one out of every 1,000 infants was born with NAS; now, in communities particularly hard hit by the opioid epidemic, it’s typically seven or more babies per thousand hospital births.

were recorded at close to 25 NAS babies per 1,000 newborns. The number has dropped since then, but in 2017, it was still twice as high as the state’s. In Culpeper County, NAS births occurred at triple the state’s rate in 2016, although they did decrease slightly last year. While the NAS rate in Prince William County has stayed below the state’s, it was still three times higher in 2016 than it had been five years earlier.

public services across the region There’s the risk that they’re returning to a stressful environment, a situation that can quickly spin the mother back into the cycle of drug use. That could lead to the child being neglected or even abused. Hospital staffs now try to better prepare the women for what can be a daunting transition to motherhood, often one with financial and emotional struggles. They’re working more closely with child protective services to ensure that the mothers are able to take on both their own recoveries and their babies’ care. Social service agencies do more of the follow-up work of ensuring that other family members are doing their part to keep the home safe and stable. “If it’s a case where the mother is barely hanging on in the methadone clinic and the dad is still using drugs, or the mother is a single parent, you’re going to keep those babies longer until you’re really sure that everything that needs to be done for the baby can be done,” said Werner. “This population in general can be a trying one to deal with,” said Cheryl Poelma, director of women’s health services at Fauquier Hospital. “But some families are really in a good place. They’re getting help, they’re in programs, and we’re confident that by the time the baby goes home that there’s a good plan in effect. “Another positive we’re seeing is moms being more honest with us from the beginning,” she added. “We need them to tell us what’s really happening with them. What are they using? What’s their pattern? When they’re forthright, we can get help quicker and more lasting results. And, as health professionals, I also think we’ve really grown in terms of not being judgmental.”

tion, or because they’re trying to get sober, and when they’re in treatment, at least at the beginning, they may not be able to work. We’ve also had cases where the person responsible for child support died.” Then there are the destructive ripples it can stir up in families. “One thing that’s really challenging is how deep this goes in affecting families— grandparents, other children, aunts and uncles. It’s a far-reaching thing that’s not easily solved,” said Poelma. She explained, “It’s not like we can say, ‘Take this medication and you’ll be fine.’ It’s something they’ll be dealing with the rest of their lives. You have little babies who start their lives in withdrawal, and then they’re going to grow up in a family that needs help. The hard part is seeing the devastation it brings to families, and knowing how hard it is for someone to pull themselves out of it.” Sometimes they don’t. It’s not unusual for the parents, overwhelmed by their new responsibilities, to backslide into their old habits as users. Ultimately, a parent may realize he or she needs more intensive treatment in a residential facility. Either way, someone else ends up caring for the baby. More often than not, it’s family members. Often, the grandparents or an aunt and uncle rush in to take on the child-rearing. Other times, child protection services reach out to relatives, in line with the priority of keeping families together.

A deadly decade From 2008 through the end of last year, 859 people in Virginia’s Piedmont region, including Prince William County, died from drug overdoses. In 4 out of 5 of those deaths, opiates were responsible

110

83% 100

Beginning in 2016, the number of opioid deaths jumped dramatically—more than 40 percent. A big factor, according to law enforcement officials, is the spreading use of drugs laced with fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic that’s 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine. From 2016 through 2018, almost 78 percent of the opioid deaths in Fauquier County involved fentanyl. The rate of deaths was only slightly lower in Culpeper and Prince William counties—about 67 percent.

OPIOID, from page 5

Culpeper Chief of Police Chris Jenkins believes that the opioid crisis, in one way or another, touches almost everyone.

Finding foster care

When keeping a child within a family isn’t an option — such as when the home situation isn’t considered safe — social services turn to foster care. Ideally, they can place kids with a foster family that’s been vetted and has received training and a home study. But maintaining an ample roster of foster families has been difficult, and they’ve had to instead send children to group homes, often far from their own homes. That’s particularly true in places like Rappahannock County, where the combination of aging demographics and the long work commutes of younger residents has kept the number of willing foster families in very short supply. In fact, by last fall, only four of the 23 children in foster care were actually living in Rappahannock. Others had to be ors.

so that I’d be a better role model for my granddaughter.” Her daughter and granddaughter have no contact, she said. “Our granddaughter hasn’t asked a lot of questions. We tell her she’s a gift from God and she seems content with that right now,” she said. “We’re in counseling for how we

deal with telling her about her mother. Because I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of questions.” But Connell is certain about one thing.

women using drugs while they’re pregnant. “I’ll think, ‘How can they be so selfish?’” she said. “I have to remind myself that I was that person. “It’s not like you’re not thinking of your child,” she added. “You’re just too far into addiction that you’re not really aware of anything else. My baby wasn’t my priority. I just didn’t want to be sick.” Amanda, now 32, has been on a methadone regimen for two years, with the dosage steadily reduced. She says she is committed to staying away from drugs and rebuilding a life with her 2-year-old. “I’m a single mom. I’m an addict. I’m a felon,” she said. “It’s hard … it’s hard.” Recently, it got harder. A judge awarded temporary custody of her young daughter to the girl’s paternal grandmother. According to Amanda, he felt she needed more therapy to help her cope with the stress in her life. “He wants to make sure that mentally I’m more stable,” she said. “Having to deal with this right now is extremely hard,” Amanda said. “Addicts don’t really cope with things well. We numb our feelings to escape reality. But it’s temporary. They say everything happens for a reason. I do believe it will be okay in the end.” Amanda doesn’t try to pretend that her path forward won’t test her. She knows her addiction has followed her, along with the nine felonies that came with it. She has been to several job interviews, but hasn’t been called back. She doesn’t have a car. For now, she’s living with her boyfriend, who is supporting her during her therapy. Her daughter steels her resolve. “Every day I need to do whatever I have to do for her,” she said. “I’m not where I want to be, but I’m better than where I was. “I lost a lot from being an addict. I lost one kid. I lost myself.”

Local mom struggles with life after addiction From the moment she was born, Amanda was caught in the terrible swirl of addiction. She went through withdrawal as a baby. Both her mother and father were drug addicts, she said. Her father died of cancer, but, she said, her mother “is still in active addiction.” Amanda said she was born addicted to crack cocaine. She was raised by her grandparents near Manassas Park. At 19, Amanda restarted the cycle with recreational use of painkillers. She got pregnant, but kept using pills, including Dilaudid. “I wasn’t really educated about those drugs,” said Amanda, who spoke on condition her full name not be published. Luckily, her baby daughter didn’t have to be treated for addiction. But Amanda’s drug use worsened and she turned to crime to support her habit. Bad checks, credit card fraud, probation violations. She spent a total of almost six years in prison, and in the process lost custody of her daughter, who now lives with the father’s aunt and uncle. At their request, Amanda has had no contact with her daughter for eight years. Not long after she got out of the Prince William Adult Detention Center in 2016, Amanda became pregnant again. She had gotten clean in prison, but relapsed into using cocaine early in her pregnancy. Through a recovery program, she was able to start medication-assisted treatment, first by taking Subutex, then methadone. Her baby, another daughter, needed to be medicated after her birth, and stayed in the hospital for almost a month. She admits that she sometimes catches herself judging other young

ABOUT THIS SERIES: RIPPLE EFFECTS The project

Opioid Ripples is an ongoing series produced jointly by four organizations: two independent, nonprofit civic news organizations, Piedmont Journalism Foundation and Foothills Forum; and two media companies, Piedmont Media and Rappahannock Media. The nonprofits provide the research and reporting; the media companies decide when and what to publish in their newspapers and on their websites. Piedmont Journalism Foundation focuses on Fauquier and surrounding counties. For more information, see piedmontjournalism.org.

Foothills Forum, founded in 2014, and Piedmont Journalism Foundation, founded in 2018, were created to increase in-depth news coverage and public discussion of issues in their communities. Foothills Forum focuses on Rappahannock County. For more information, see www.foothills-forum.org. Community support of the nonprofits makes this and other projects possible. Funding for this series comes in part from the PATH Foundation, which provides grants to improve health and vitality in Fauquier, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties.

Coming soon:

• The harsh reality is that most addicts relapse. Multiple times. We’ll look at why recovery is so hard and how local communities are struggling to meet diverse treatment needs. • How the role of police in dealing with the opioid epidemic is shifting from making arrests to educating the public. • For all the raised awareness about opioid addiction, its stigma persists and plays out in many ways. Also, how are other communities dealing with the challenges of the opioid crisis?

Retail ABC shop is securing a lease to open on Main Street By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority is in the process of negotiating a lease to open a retail ABC shop at 45 Main St. in Old Town Warrenton. The store would occupy the ground floor currently housing Carson Land Consultants. Carson would move upstairs, the town’s architectural review board was told Thursday. The two-story brick building at 45 Main St. was built in 1926 and was formerly occupied by a clothing store and a furniture store. Though the ABC doesn’t yet have a lease, “we are moving forward on all aspects simultaneously to make the process as efficient and expeditious as possible,” explained Valerie Hubbard, senior public relations specialist with the ABC. The ABC is seeking a certificate of appropriateness to mount a display sign on the outside of 45 Main St. The ARB reviews proposed changes within the town’s historic district. The ABC sign would measure about 1 ½ by 4 feet and use an existing bracket on the building to hold it. ARB member Carole Hertz said

A new ABC store on Main Street in Warrenton would occupy the ground floor currently occupied by Carson Land Consultants. she thought the red and blue ABC logo looked “very bold.” William Henley, the ABC’s facility design and permit coordinator, responded that the ABC is flexible when it comes to the design and color of its signa. “We’re willing to change it to make it look good,” Henley said. Board member Laura Bartee suggested, “maybe you can find something more subtle.” Board member Kevin Roop said he’d like to see three or four sign alternatives. Henley will be returning in September with options the ARB can view at the next meeting. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Supervisors deny application for dog training facility By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Residents opposed to having a dog training facility in their rural area won out when the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 on Aug. 8 to deny a special exception. Ahmad and Gretchen Pirasteh wanted to operate what the county defines as a “minor kennel” within the Springs Valley Agricultural and Forestal District at Natania Farm, on 124 acres of land at 8270 March Wales Road in Warrenton. Maintenance of the private road, safety and the change in character of the area were issues raised by residents during a community meeting at the property the applicants held to explain the proposal. They were raised again during the public hearing that preceded the supervisors’ vote. Seventeen people spoke on the issue, from both sides. The applicants dropped the breeding and boarding of dogs from the revised application, but left dog training in. The planning commission recommended approval of the special exception on a 3-2 vote with the conditions that training occur only in an existing secured indoor riding arena and that dogs be kept in crates when not in training. Ahmad Pirasteh, who spoke during the hearing, said 20 dogs would be the maximum on the property during training, in addition to the six dogs he owns. He said the nearest neighboring house to the planned training activity is 1,000 feet away. He said he had agreed to fence in the area where the dogs would train. Allowing a commercial dog training operation on the land though “does make a change to the neighborhood in a significant way,” said

Dennis Pearson, an adjoining property owner opposed to the granting of a special exception. “It’s in an agricultural and forestal district. The intent is not to have commercial business.” “The board would be foolhardy to think things can’t go wrong,” said Peter Petronzio, who said he lives near the property. Others spoke in favor of the application and the quality of training that said would be provided. “Nino is a world class dog trainer. We are privileged to have him,” Daniel Heller said of Nino Firdous, who trained dogs as a member of the police department in Antwerp, Belgium. Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, Marshall District, said “trying to find the right balance is almost impossible” when weighing the concerns of neighbors and what people want to do with their property. She was swayed by the concerns of neighbors, as was Supervisor Rick Gerhardt, Cedar Run District, who said opponents presented “reasonable reasons” for opposing the application. Holder Trumbo, Scott District, said he had no doubt the applicants were “good people” but that a land use decision was at issue. What an applicant proposes “has to be a good fit, no matter who’s involved.” In casting the sole vote opposing denial, Supervisor Chris Granger, Center District, said that “this board has approved larger operations on smaller lots” than was the case with Natania. “Had the applicant wanted to put a hunt kennel here it would have been by right, or train polo ponies. Both create a higher level of intensity” than what the applicant proposed, Granger said. Reach James Ivancic at jivanci@ fauquier.com

Catlett man charged with abduction and assault and battery A Catlett man was arrested Saturday after police said he threatened a woman and used his vehicle to block her car as she was traveling to a magistrate’s office to obtain a protective order against him. The woman was enroute to Warrenton from Prince William County on Friday, Aug. 23, when the man followed her and pulled around her vehicle, forcing her to stop on Dumfries Road at about 7 p.m., according to Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. The woman told police the man exited his vehicle, approached her and began yelling and hitting the car window. The man then moved his vehicle, and the woman drove off, Hartman said. The woman reported that the man proceeded to follow her and again blocked her way. He approached her vehicle with a wedge from a vehicle lock-out kit and attempted to pry open her car door, Hartman said.  The victim drove off, and the man followed her again, blocking her vehicle a third time, Hartman said. The woman did a U-turn to get away and was able to call 911. She met a sheriff’s deputy in the Southern States parking lot on Catlett Road and followed the deputy to the magistrate’s office in Warrenton, where she obtained a warrant charging domestic assault; a protective order was also issued. The warrant was from an earlier incident, Hartman said.

3 democrats vie to challenge Rep. Denver Riggleman in 5th District By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The general election for the 5th District seat in Congress is more than a year away, but three Democratic candidates are already running for their party’s nomination to try to unseat Republican Denver Riggleman, who won a first term by beating Leslie Cockburn of Rappahannock County by about 7 percent last November. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this month added the 5th to its “target” list of seats it hopes to pick up in 2020. The Democrats won 40 seats in the House of Representatives last year and hold 235 seats, while Republicans occupy 197 seats. There is one Independent serving in the House and two seats are vacant. Riggleman, a distiller from Nelson County, was traveling in the district when reached by phone on Aug. 21. He was blasé about Democrats linking him to President Donald Trump. “My last opponent yelled about President Trump,” Riggleman said of Cockburn. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. The Democrat candidates feel they have to do that to make a splash.” He said that given that he’s a Republican, it’s not surprising that his votes are in step with the majority of Republicans. “I did vote ‘no’ on the last budget deal,” he said of an instance when he took a different stance.

Democratic candidate Kim Daugherty

Trump-era politics is what motivated Kim Daugherty to enter the race for the Democratic nomination for the 5th District seat. Daugherty, 32, lives in the Brookside community KIM DAUGHERTY in eastern Fauquier County with her husband and three young children. She and her husband are both attorneys at the Daugherty Law Firm in Manassas. Daugherty has lived in the 5th District since 2004, except for two years when she was attending law school. She grew up in Stafford County. “I decided to run because I’m really disheartened with how Washington is currently being run. There’s a failure to give working families their fair share. Washington is looking out for the monied interests and corporations,” said Daugherty. “I’m really distressed at how partisan things are in Washington. There is a lack of representation of working families. There are a lot of elite politicians.” The candidate says there’s a need for more women -- and moms -- in politics. “There really is a deficit of women with young children,” Daugherty said. “I take my children and then I’m out the door. For the past eight years I’ve been an advocate for families, helping them with health care, child care and educational opportunities,” said Daugherty. “I’m really working with clients on everything they need.” Her clients are dealing with issues like divorce, custody, visitation and financial support. As such, Daugherty said she is immersed in “all aspects of their personal lives. I help clients start rebuilding a different life for themselves.” She would bring that perspective to Congress to deal with issues such as health care and education. She’s making her first bid for elective office. “I think I have a really, really good chance of winning the primary. The 5th is a working-class district that’s looking for a congressional candidate to identify with,” Daugherty said. “I think based on my work with the community, people can feel comfortable that I will be their advo-

cate. In a campaign against Denver we’ll have to work hard. Mr. Riggleman presented himself as a moderate during the campaign [in 2018] but 92 or 94 percent of the time he’s voting with Trump,” Daugherty asserted. “He’s not held a town hall since he’s been in office. He’s attended fundraising events but has had no meaningful interaction with people in the district.” In response, Riggleman said he’s held one telephone town hall. His office on Friday announced a face-to-face town hall would be held in Danville on Aug. 28, the first of what his staff said would be a series of town halls in the district. Riggleman said he also travels throughout the district and meets with constituents. He hosted a roundtable discussion on Aug. 26 in Charlottesville with the 5th District agriculture advisory committee to discuss issues facing farmers, growers and producers. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue attended. Later that same day Riggleman held a broadband forum in Mecklenburg County.

Democratic candidate Cameron Webb

Cameron Webb is a physician and teaches at the University of Virginia medical school. Like Daugherty, the interactions with people he’s had on the job and what he’s learned about their struggles motivated him to seek office. DR. CAMERON WEBB “Being a doctor caused me to run for office. As a physician I’ve see patients with huge out-of-pocket expenses and too few have access” because of lack of insurance. “Even when they do have access, the cost of premiums, prescriptions and cost of hospitalization [the system] is not serving folks well. I think health costs are absurd.” He said the public option – a government-run health program like Medicare – could be a way “to get prices down to the point that consumers can afford. A public option would be a reliable option for primary care.” Webb said loopholes are allowing pharmaceutical companies to keep drug prices high. “Part of the approach to reducing the cost of prescription drugs is eliminating some of the loopholes that drug or pharmaceutical companies use to maximize their profits,” he said. “For example, pay-for-delay settlements and efforts to block requests for samples which both limit access to generic drugs, or even the maneuvering of pharmaceutical companies to extend their patent or market exclusivity. Games like these are why we need to remove special interests in politics so we can act on these low-hanging fruit opportunities to help reduce drug costs and bring relief to the American people.” On other issues, Webb said, “we need to think about the jobs of the future” and to make sure schools are preparing students for those jobs. He also called for stepping up efforts to reduce

the emissions that contribute to global warming. Webb described himself as a problem-solver and seeker of consensus. “I’m a doctor. I ask where does it hurt? I listen to the problem and find solutions to those problems,” Webb said. “So much of what we discuss amounts to essential fairness. I was the third of six kids. I was all about building consensus.”

Democratic candidate Roger Dean Huffstetler

Making another push to win the Democratic nomination for the 5th District seat is Roger Dean Huffstetler. He withdrew from the 2018 race and threw his support to Cockburn, who won the nomination at a party nomiROGER DEAN HUFFSTETLER nating convention. “One of the great parts of the job is that you learn a lot,” Huffstetler said while campaigning. “I’ve gotten donations from all 23 cities and counties in the district and the 50 states. We’re building a grassroots organization. I’m hearing compelling stories about health care and jobs. I’m getting a lot of feedback. Our job is to be a voice for them.” Huffstetler announced his candidacy in April and was the first Democratic candidate to do so. Healthcare, education and infrastructure are the issues he said he hears the most about and what he is focusing on. Huffstetler said he supports the Medicare X proposal advocated by Sen. Tim Kaine. Medicare-X initially would be available on the individual exchange in areas where there is a shortage of insurers or there are higher health care costs because of less competition, as is the case in more rural areas. By 2024, Medicare X would expand to every ZIP code in the country. By 2025, the public plan would be added as another option on the Small Business Health Options Program Marketplace. He supports partnerships between community colleges and businesses to offer degree programs like winemaking and trade skills. He said he would work on extension of broadband service, which he says 90 percent of the residents of Buckingham County don’t have. The lack of broadband access across the district is onethird, about 33 percent of the population, he said. Huffstetler said he supports Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s approach to encourage public-private partnerships to expand broadband. The 2020 primary election for state races is June 9. The general election is Nov. 3. The 5th District covers all or part of 21 counties plus the cites of Charlottesville and Danville. Areas of Fauquier County not in the 5th District are Midland, Goldvein and Bealeton. Those areas are in the 1st District, currently represented by Rob Wittman, Republican. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier. com

5th District Rep. Denver Riggleman will hold mobile office hours from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 3 in the firstfloor meeting room of the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The congressman’s staff will be available to answer questions about Medicare, veterans’ and Social Security benefits, immigration and other matters.

Longtime eventing volunteer dies Staff Reports

The United States Eventing Association announced that Ann Rickard Haller died Sunday, Aug. 25, from “complications related to an ongoing medical condition.” Haller was working as the press officer and cross-country controller at Great Meadow International this weekend and passed away at a local hospital, according to the USEA. The USEA website memorialized Haller this way: “Ann was involved in so many aspects of eventing and was truly at the heart of the sport. She embodied the real spirit of an eventer with a ‘get it done’ attitude pitching in to make sure whatever needed to get done was done. “Ann worked in the press office at many events around the country including the Land Rover

Kentucky Three-Day Event, Fair Hill International, Rebecca Farm, NAYC [North American Youth Championships], World Equestrian Games, and the USEA American Eventing Championships, just to name a few. She often multitasked as the cross-country controller or took on other roles as needed.” Rob Banner, former president of the Great Meadow foundation, said, “Ann and Roger Haller were eventing organizing pros that worked their lives long in USPC [United States Pony Clubs] up through USEA working for KY3D [Kentucky Derby Three-Day] and Fair Hill. Ann has a permanent job at Fair Hill. She was the Press Secretary for GMI. “Roger died unexpectedly three or four years ago … They were both loved by all and had

At a March 5 event similar to the one scheduled for tonight, town planners asked for input about how residents would like to see Warrenton develop over the next 20 years. The 50 residents in attendance marked their preferences by voting on what aspects of Warrenton are most important and what they’d like to see in their town in the future. Attendees were asked for input in three areas: community character, community health and economic and fiscal health. Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer explained that tonight’s meeting will build upon the last public workshop and the work of the steering committee by asking the community how they would best like to work toward the vision through three potential scenarios. Similar to last time, she said, there will be a presentation and live voting on the concepts. The preferred choice, or a combination of the options, will then inform the steering committee in developing specific implementation strategies for where the town should focus its resources in the future.

The ultimate vision, preferred land-use scenarios and implementation strategies will be packaged in the final draft comprehensive plan for a public hearing before the planning commission and town council in the next few months. Schaeffer said, “Planning for the town’s future is a similar thought process to planning your next road trip. What is your destination? What route do you want to take to get there? Is everyone accommodated for in the vehicle? Where and how you prepare for the trip, as well as the steps you take along the way, will determine if it is a success! Wednesday’s meeting will help us in formulating the next stage of the Town’s future.”  Warrenton Town officials rolled out a new website, www. warrentonplan.com, earlier this year where folks can check on the progress of the information gathering and analysis. Included at the site is information compiled by the steering committee – details on demographics, economics, the local real estate market, water and sewer infrastructure, transportation and fiscal sustainability. Those interested in attending the meeting might want to peruse the updates first, so they can be up to date on what’s happened in the process so far. Residents and business owners are being given a valuable opportunity to help shape the future of Warrenton. Those who are developing a vision for the town’s future are listening.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago August 31, 1944 Additional post-D-Day casualties among Fauquier County men in France are Pvt. Abram D. May, Bealeton; Pfc. Marvin M. Creel, The Plains; Pvt. Edward W. Glascock, Marshall; Pfc. Basil W. Edwards, Casanova; Sgt. John Richard Gordon, Markham; and Pfc. William M. Thompson, Paris. Approximately 300 men from five companies of the State Guard assembled at the Warrenton Rifles’ outdoor range on John Benner’s farm Saturday afternoon for the weekend encampment of the 111th Battalion, under the command of Maj. John C. Butler. Resuming its independent status after a year’s lapse, the Warrenton Pony Show has drawn 264 top-quality entries for its 23 hack, hunter and jumping classes, which will get underway at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, Sept. 2. 50 Years Ago August 28, 1969 For the second year, Ginger Grohs of Midland emerged as top exhibitor at the Fauquier Junior Fair last week. The 18-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Grohs, Ginger accumulated 222 points in six divisions. Marijuana, some of it nearly 10 feet high, was pulled up on a farm near Buckland last week by Deputy Sheriff Albert Jeffries and Chief Deputy Luther Cox.

Word was received on Aug. 19 that 1st Lt. Richard S. Wallace, with a tank platoon of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, was injured in Cambodia. Wounded by a bullet to his right lung, he talked on the telephone to Mrs. Robert Wallach of Warrenton, a relative, saying he was being sent from Saigon to Japan, and from there to Walter Reed Hospital, Washington. 25 Years Ago August 31, 1994 When rumors started flying about discount giant Wal-Mart possibly locating in Warrenton, Town Manager John Anzivino wanted to sort out the facts. The result was a 22-page report on the impact Wal-Mart has had on surrounding communities compiled by community development assistant Patricia J. Knox. “What we have here is an analysis which neither negatively nor positively portrays Wal-Mart,” Anzivino said. Senior quarterbacks Jason Harich of Liberty and Bryan Johnson of Fauquier will lead their respective teams into action Friday night. The Eagles play their first game over at Falcon Field in a 7:30 contest against Loudoun Valley, while the Falcons travel to Manassas to take on Osbourn at 7:30. The Piedmont Valley Ruritan Club held its 17th annual horse show over the weekend under the oaks at the Upperville show grounds, with close to 200 entries. – Compiled by John T. Toler

OPINION

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | August 28, 2019

Epstein is gone; it’s time America showed up against human trafficking The attention on Jeffrey Epstein ought to help further the cause against human trafficking. It has not. The media spotlight on him, now as bright as a second sun in our social hemisphere, ought to cast away the shadows used by human traffickers to find, entrap, and ultimately destroy the lives of children all over the world.  It has not. Our world should be safer now because Epstein is gone. It isn't. Instead, what we have seen at The Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation is a response by many which show shock and disgust, but ultimately nothing more than social rubbernecking to the sensationalism of Epstein's story. Meanwhile, Epstein and his convoy of convicted and alleged crimes, alleged high-profile friends, and almost untouchable status leave a trail of sex trafficking victims across the United States. It has been said that human trafficking was just the tip of the iceberg regarding the horror of Epstein's crimes. Let me correct you. Human trafficking is the iceberg, and Epstein was the tip.  Did you know once a person enters into life as a victim of human trafficking their life expectancy plummets to just seven years? It's

true. Children are dying now. Children are being raped, drugged, beaten, sold, and ripped from their families all across America in our cities, our towns, our rural areas, and our neighborhoods now. We hear you say Jeffrey Epstein is an abomination. We listen to you proclaim this can't happen again. That what Epstein and his friends did was the most inhuman and disgusting thing humans could ever do to one and other. We see you write the same, and more, on social media channels, in news articles, blog posts and emails. Your rants inspired us. We thought your outrage to Epstein's level of debauchery was finally enough to turn thoughts and prayers into direct and sustained action.  It didn't. Why? Frankly, we think it's because most of America’s bark is worse than its bite. America, we see you walk right up to the edge of giving a damn about the eradication of human trafficking. Then we see you stop dead in your tracks when you realize your next step means you have to get involved. That you're going to have to give either your time, share your resources, or donate your money to empower real change. Then, we watch time and time again as your fierceness fades. Your calls for action become whispers, then ultimately silence. Then

Story on reading program misses the point Nothing is more disturbing, distressing and disconcerting than to peruse your Fauquier Times article (“Using every trick in the book,” August 7) regarding the ridiculously extravagant amount of money ($51,000) being spent educating teachers to incorporate the “Orton-Gillingham Approach to Reading, Spelling, Penmanship Program” that has been in existence for 84 years since 1935. Another excellent reading program Virginia Public Schools discard every time a new hair-brained reading method, usually introduced by the Curry School of Education at UVA (Ph.D.s that are not in the classroom every day) only to find the “new, improved, up-to-date method” does not work, leaving everyone to wring their hands wondering “Why Can’t Dick and Jane Read?’...or spell…or legibly print or write in cursive handwriting (worse yet, cannot even read cursive handwriting)!” My experience as an educator bestows the inalienable right to be vastly knowledgeable and intellectually opinionated regarding reading programs and one cannot complain without offering a solution.

The quintessence

Virginia Public Schools cannot address the reading needs of all students.

Dilemma 1. The problem lies forthwith with the Virginia Department of Education. In their haste for high SOL scores, they fail to endorse reading programs that work for all levels of students in every county of Virginia.

The VDOE does state what you have to teach, not how to get there. 2. The School of Education in Virginia colleges basically teach reading philosophy which is abstract and general; very little is spent with pedagogics. 3. The individual county public school systems in Virginia are allowed to choose methods, thus not having a unified program throughout the state; therefore, inequitable reading programs. 4. Teaching reading is easy; educators just do not know how to employ their powers in every subject and do not share the same methodology throughout the school day/year.

Solutions 1. VDOE, schools of education in Virginia, county public school systems, and teachers need to settle upon no more than two reading, spelling, writing programs that have been proven to work. Orton-Gillingham is a program that works for all children. 2. All educators need to be trained how to teach reading well and closely in the same manner in every subject throughout the day! Some of the best incidental reading lessons come from word problems in math and the most remote written statements on the white board. 3. Go back to what works! Stop throwing “The Baby with the Bath Water.” There is nothing wrong with whole class lessons, basal readers and text books if used properly. 4. Teachers need the time to share, share, share their ideas and methods for every part of reading instruction.

once scattered predators reemerge out from the shadows, recruit a few more children, and then continue their cycle of abuse because your willingness to care ends with empathy and not action.  Human trafficking victims don't care about our politics, our wealth, our education, our race, creed, color, or sexual orientation. They care if we fight back. So, I'm calling you out, America. Put down your keyboard, hug your child and act! We will help you! What can you do? Some ideas are to call your local government officials to demand human trafficking education and awareness be taught in your schools, your towns, your police forces, and your local businesses. You can insist your local media cover this happening everywhere crime, and last but not least, you can serve as a role model by living a life noble enough to drive out any demand for human trafficking in your neighborhoods. Your country needs you. Will you fight back?  JAY PINSKY Director of communications for the Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation, www.justaskprevention.org. jpinsky@justaskprevention.org.

While I applaud Ms. Nutt for reintroducing Orton-Gillingham to Fauquier County Public Schools, she is not alone nor the first one to do so. I was teaching the same program at Taylor Middle School in 1985. My sister, a reading specialist in Fauquier County since 1972 also used the program. Ms. Nutt should not receive credit for a reading program Master Teachers have been using for years nor have to reinstate what already worked since the conception of the Orton-Gillingham Reading Program in 1935. This should have been the focus of your article -- the unreasonable amounts of money Virginia is willing to waste adopting useless educational programs only to find what really worked was already in use almost a century ago. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) states: “Learning Disorder has been changed to Specific Learning Disorder and the previous types of Learning Disorder (Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Disorder of Written Expression) are no longer being recommended. The type of Learning Disorder will now instead be specified as noted in the diagnosis.” Ms. Nutt’s job position is a misnomer. When did “Lead Dyslexia Advisor” supersede elementary or secondary reading coordinator (the position I held)? As a mother of a child with reading disorders, I would not appreciate meeting with an educator with a title so narrowed, as dyslexia has so many forms. LYNN MARIE HILLEARY, MAED Roseland, Virginia

Thank you to good Samaritans I would like to take this opportunity to thank two people who helped me on Aug. 12 when I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Winchester Street and had a bad fall. I am on blood thinners and was bleeding badly. A lady walking her baby stopped to help and gave me diapers to wrap the wounds, and a resident of Winchester Street walking downtown went back to his home and got a car to take me home. I would like to thank the two caring individuals and once again say that Warrenton residents are the most wonderful, caring people!  THE REV. RONALD STEPHENS Warrenton

Powers Farm & Brewery growing organically Midland operation is a satisfying hard day’s work By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

For those of us who have been around the sun a few times, Frank Sinatra’s 1953 hit lyrics, “Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, if you’re young at heart” is pitch-perfect. But when it comes to realizing your dreams, it helps to be smart and have a strong work ethic in your hip pocket. Fortunately for folks living in Fauquier County, Kevin and Melody Powers embody the spirit of the song even though both are only in their mid-30s. “Our farm and brewery are high labor-intensive. But we didn’t anticipate how satisfying and fun it would be,” said Kevin Powers, co-owner of both businesses along with his wife, Melody, or “Mel,” as she’s known down on the farm. Many of their customers also run small businesses, he added. “That was unexpected, and it’s been energizing for us both.” Indeed, friends, customers and business associates are collateral benefits of the couple’s success. “We were totally blind to that part of the business,” he explained.

Backstory

So how did the fun and success coalesce? Kevin Powers grew up in Ohio, and Mel was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. After love struck and rings were exchanged, the couple settled in D.C., where they raised vegetables at a nearby community garden while homebrewing in their small apartment. “We found we really enjoyed the agricultural part and the brewing part. I worked as an accountant and Mel was getting her master’s degree in psychology while working at American University,” Kevin Powers said. It sounds like two professional careers headed for a routine life in the job harness. But the pull of farming and brewing was too strong. After a few years, they purchased a 10-acre site in New Baltimore and began raising 1,000 hop bines, vegetables and fruits on two acres. (Grapes are grown on vines, hops on bines). Originally, they began selling produce at the Manassas Farmers Market, but Mel Powers soon began building a community-supported agriculture program. CSAs are systems through which shareholders support a community farm operation by sharing both the benefits and risks of food production. It dawned on the twosome that a full-time living could be made by

Melody and Kevin Powers are the powerhouse couple behind Powers Farm and Brewery located in Midland. both farming and brewing. Then the real work began.

Veggies and more

In 2012, the tightly focused couple purchased a 21-acre farm in Midland; nine acres were clear, and the remainder wooded. Since there was no home on the property, the Powers elected to rent a place in Casanova about a half of mile from the farm. Tough commute. A blank slate of rich farmland now awaited the two “farm artists,” and cleaning dirt from their fingernails became a daily habit. “We are now growing a little bit of everything. There are about 40 products that are included in our CSA program,” Kevin Powers explained. The CSA member agreement lists the following items and showcases the level of work required to successfully till the land: kale, lettuce, mustard greens, garlic scallions, carrots, scallions, beets, cilantro,

pea shoots, dill, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, summer squash, onions, beans, peppers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, garlic, ground cherries, tomatillos, new potatoes, watermelons, melons, cucumbers, basil, sweet peppers, beans, potatoes, eggplant, okra, hot peppers, summer squash, pie pumpkins, winter squash, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, parsley, peppers, sunflower shoots and radishes. Whew. The produce is available by month running for 15 weeks from June through mid-September. Costs range widely depending on the type and share purchased. For example, a vegetable half share costs $224; $450 for a full share. Check out all the options here: http:// powersfarmbrewery.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Powers-FarmCSA-order-form-2019.pdf As described in the CSA agreement, the produce is grown without the use of conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, bioengineering

Kevin Powers likes to infuse beers with farm produce flavors like strawberries and pumpkin. Look for new recipes often.

With their diverse planting, Powers Farm and Brewery is able to offer freshly picked, seasonal bouquets alongside their produce CSA as a popular add-on. The flowers are grown to the same standards as their produce — without chemical sprays or fertilizers — and serve to help attract beneficial insects. The flower share runs for 15 weeks starting in June, available for pickup at the farm. or ionizing radiation. Because of the small size of the farm, they’ve elected not to become certified organic. But the Powers do hold themselves to organic practices and keep soil health, environment and nutrient quality in the forefront of their farming practices.

Brewery

In 2017, the brewery was opened on the farm. “We had planned from the beginning to create a brewery, but it took more time to get it going given the work required on the farm,” Kevin Powers said. “We make a new recipe almost every week.” Powers tries to integrate farm produce into brewery products whenever possible. Guests may encounter a lemongrass pilsner, a strawberry-infused beer, pumpkin and squash ales in the fall and more. Farm-grown hops obviously find their way into the suds. The taproom is open Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 8 p.m., Saturday, from noon to 8 p.m., and Sunday, from noon to 7 p.m. Typically nine brews are available. On Saturday, Oct. 19, the third annual Powersfest will be held at the farm. Live music, vendors, food trucks and a special Octoberfest brew will make for a fun day; even the family pooch is invited. In summing up the life this power couple have created, Kevin Powers says, “It’s nice when people come in and appreciate our work because we really appreciate their support.” For the full bountiful story on Powers Farm & Brewery open their digital garden gate at powersfarmbrewery.com.

Preparing for college costs? Chart Where does the money to payTitle for college come from?

Be alert to opportunities now Now that summer is winding down, back-to-school time is upon us. When children are young, your logistics for the new academic year may involve little more than a trip to buy school supplies. But if you’d like to send your kids (or grandkids) to college someday, you need to plan far ahead to meet the financial demands. As part of your planning, you need to be on the lookout for all opportunities to help pay those sizable college bills. Specifically, you’ll need to be ready to take action in these areas: Financial aid – You should start thinking about financial aid at least a year before your child heads off to college. For example, you can begin submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on Oct. 1 for the 2020-21 academic year. And if the past is any guide, you’ll always need to remember that Oct. 1 date for the next school year. The FAFSA helps colleges and the U.S. Department of Education evaluate your financial need and determine how much financial support your child requires. And since a lot of financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-

served basis, it’s a good idea to submit your forms as soon as possible once the application period opens. Scholarships – Colleges and universities offer their own scholarships, but you’re not limited to them. In fact, you might be surprised at the number and variety of college scholarships available to your child or grandchild – but to find them, you may need to do some digging. Find out what’s offered from foundations, religious, ethnic or community organizations, local businesses and civic groups. Also, ask the high school guidance office for information. Your own employer might even offer small scholarships. You can find more information on scholarships on the U.S. Department of Education’s website.

lege. You have several options available, each with different contribution limits, rules and tax treatments, so you’ll want to consult with a financial professional to choose an investment that’s appropriate for your situation. Community colleges – Not every bachelor’s degree needs to begin and end at an expensive fouryear college or university. Many students now fulfill some of their “general” education requirements at affordable community colleges before transferring to a four-year school – often saving tens of thousands of dollars in the process. Paying for college is challenging. After all, for the 2018-19 academic

year, the average annual cost (tuition, fees and room and board) was $21,370 for in-state students at public four-year colleges or universities; for four-year private schools, the corresponding expense was $48,510, according to the College Board. College costs will likely continue to rise over the next several years. But, as we’ve seen, being proactive and having a plan in place can go a long way toward coping with these expenses and helping your loved ones enjoy the benefits of higher education.

Liberty went 5-5 last year and missed the playoffs. Led by Jordan Woodson (above), the Eagles look primed to return to their past glory. The Eagles have had just one losing season in the last 19 years and made the playoffs 13 times. Liberty has won 16 straight Bird Bowls over Fauquier. They play November 8 at FHS.

LIBERTY FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Young coach, veteran unit could spell playoffs for Liberty By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Liberty Eagles won’t have their traditional four team captains this football season. With a returning starter at 13 of 22 positions, first-year head coach Travis Buzzo had too many seasoned players from which to choose. “So much experience that I don’t think it’s fair to say, ‘Just these four are captains,’” Buzzo said. He instead chose 10 players to compose a leadership committee, and a rotation of them will serve as the four captains each game. That’s one of the few changes in Liberty’s program since seven-year head coach Sean Finnerty left the team Dec. 13 to take the same position at nearby Patriot High. Buzzo took over Jan. 9 following three seasons as an Eagles assistant coach and four as a Liberty player after growing up on the sidelines during the 10 seasons his father, Tommy, spent as the Eagles’ head coach. “It’s been a good transition,” Travis Buzzo said. “I’ve been in the program since ’96. It’s not like I’m

Former Eagle star Travis Buzzo makes his varsity coaching debut Friday at home against Brentsville at 7 p.m. making drastic changes, but it takes a minute or two for the kids to realize, ‘I’ve got to do it different to get to where we want to be.’” They certainly want to be in the playoffs after missing the region cut in 2018 with a 5-5 record. Over the previous 10 seasons, the Eagles

earned nine region berths. “Our special teams needs work,” Buzzo said. “If we improve that, than we can truly do something this year. “I think the sky’s the limit,” he said. “If our group can focus and do it the Liberty way, we can be very special. If we get distracted … it won’t be as successful as it should be.” Liberty’s defensive secondary could lead the Eagles’ charge toward the Class 4 Region C playoffs thanks to four returning starters in Tre’Von White, Keegan Shipe, Justin Lawson and A.J. Johnson. Bryan Barnes joined that starting unit as one of eight defensive backs who have varsity playing time. “The amount of experience on the back end of our D – with our DBs and linebackers – that’s really helping with the youth of our D-line,” said Buzzo, who uses a 3-3-5 base defense. “I think that’s why we’re developing as quick as we are.” Liberty’s other defensive returning starters are nose guard Jordan Woodson and linebacker Fred Harris. Buzzo expects five other linebackers to rotate in and out of each game.

“In my four years, this is the best linebacker corps we’ve have,” he said. White and Lawson also help compose an experienced offensive unit for Liberty as returning starters at wide receiver along with Wyatt Hicks. They are catching passes this seaSee EAGLES, page 23

FAUQUIER FOOTBALL PREVIEW

BENEFIT OF THE DROUGHT

PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

Fauquier has not had a winning football season since their 7-4 mark in 2012, but new coach Karl Buckwalter is encouraged by a strong returning cast that includes junior quarterback J.T. Diehl, above, whose brothers Garrett and Colin were former Falcon stars. Fauquier has its entire offensive line back and 17 starters overall.

Fauquier has 17 returning starters from 0-10 team By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

In 1981, the Fauquier Falcons finished with a 2-8 record to marginally rebound from a rare 0-10 football season in 1980. Karl Buckwalter hopes the 2019 Falcons can recover even more robustly during his first season as head coach after they went 0-10 last fall and finished without a win for only the third time in history. “Our goal has always been to get to Game 11” and compete in the playoffs, Buckwalter said of the four teams he has coached over 32 years. “People think you’re nuts when we say that coming off 0-10, but I’m not going to lower our standards.” Fauquier has eight playoff berths over the past 20 years with a record under .500 in only five of those seasons. The winless 2018 season gave Fauquier a 12-game losing streak and certainly didn’t boost morale, but Buckwalter seems plenty optimistic. “We’re really excited; very positive,” he said. “There is the stigma [from 0-10]. They haven’t tasted a ‘W,’ but you’ve got to get over that hurdle.” He hopes the Falcons can create

Fauquier has returning starters at 17 of 22 positions with very few players starting on both sides of the ball, which justifiably gives Buckwalter confidence. “We should have fresh legs,” he said. “The kids get rest and it gives them more energy; more stamina.” Senior Bobby Slater is one of the Falcons’ few two-way starters, playing defensive end and tight end.

Kettle Run field hockey coach Beth Todd wants one thing from her team this fall, and she only needs one word to describe it. Score. “You are not going to win if you do not score, so let’s put the focus on where it needs to be—putting the ball into the goal,” she said. This could be a breakout year for the Cougars, who were 5-10 last year. Kettle Run had a small senior class of four in 2018, so Todd is in the enviable spot of having most of her positions filled with experience. “I have a lot of power up front,” Todd said last week as preparations continued for Tuesday’s opening contest against nearby Class 6 Patriot. “The girls that came out all have experience from last year,” Todd said. “And they easily are going to step into those roles.” Aubrey Kearns, Maddie Powers and Paige Proctor are the leaders

Coach: Brooke Settle 2018 record: 10-6 Northwestern District champion Varsity returnees: Lucy Arnold, Sr.; Ella Irvin, Sr.; Ashley Maldonado, Sr.; Jamie Renzi, Sr.; Zoe Savage, Sr.; Ruby Wrigley, Sr.; Paige Keith, Jr.; Abby McCusker Jr. First game: Aug. 26 at Woodgrove

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Assembling the jigsaw puzzle will be a bit more complicated this fall. The Fauquier field hockey squad lost eight seniors from its 2018 Northwestern District championship team. The group, which included second-team Class 4 all-state choice Madison Filson, departed with more than 20 seasons of varsity experience. Coach Brooke Settle understands the inevitable cycles a program goes through and doesn’t sound worried. She has eight varsity returnees as the chief building blocks. “We lost some incredible players, but it’s not like we had a large rebuilding [project],” Settle says of the reorganization. She says the effort is going smoothly thanks to the returning seniors and juniors. “It’s not their first rodeo. Now they finally have their time to shine,” Settle said. Fauquier returns many of its top scorers from last fall, led by seniors Ruby Wrigley and Lucy Arnold, who both were second-team all-Region 4D performers in 2018.

PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

High-scoring Ruby Wrigley was a second team all-Region D player in 2018 as Fauquier won the Northwestern District title. Liberty, Kettle Run and others are out to de-throne the Falcons in 2019. Seniors Jamie Renzi, Ella Irvin and junior Abby McCusker also have demonstrated scoring prowess. Several varsity newcomers have shown potential as well, Settle said, resulting in a shift in thinking. “We’ve put them into a more offensive-minded lineup then we have had in the past,” Settle stated, also stressing the solid level of the stick skills. The defense requires more retooling, as senior Ashley Maldonado is the lone starting returnee. Senior Zoe

Savage moved into goal to replace Taylor DeHaven, who recorded 19 shutouts in two seasons as a starter. Lauren Davis, Paige Keith, Quinn Holden, Stefanie Fisher, Jessica Summers and Jackie Timberlake round out the squad. The coaching staff opted to go with a small nucleus of 14 varsity players and assigned the remaining 20 Falcons to the junior varsity. The numbers are misleading, Settle said, as several of the JV girls will have

opportunities on varsity. Many of the incoming players have experience with the Blue Ridge Titan youth program, giving them a valuable head start learning skills. Settle sees the ingredients for a successful defense of the district crown. “I don’t think anybody is a pushover team…no crazy domination. I think if the girls continue to work hard and continue to progress, we have a great chance of holding the title,” she forecasted.

Meet the JV

The large junior varsity team includes Kaylee Shuler, Amanda DeBerry, Kennedy Kolar, Ella Tedeschi, Halle Friedline, Alison Janickey, Christina Oporto, Lily Paccassi, Erin Irvin, Molly Kirk, Emory Lillard, Kate Newbill, Annamae Lawrence, Marissa Camarca, Lauren Lasher, Anjoli Johnston, Allyson Chesley, Marjorie Davenport, Elisa Duca, Elena Fackenthall and Ava Napolitano.

Falcons’ new coach thinks he has weapons to win See FALCONS, from page 18 Buckwalter actually lived in Fauquier County during his entire tenure with Dominion, so he took over as Falcons coach with some familiarity. “The transition has been seamless,” he said. “The only thing I’ve had to get used to is driving 8 minutes [to coach] instead of two hours.” Lightning cut short Fauquier’s second scrimmage of the preseason last week, but Buckwalter saw enough in the three-way event with Broad Run and Potomac Falls to feel good about the Falcons’ level of preparation for the start of the football season. “They were aggressive,” Buckwalter said. “They weren’t intimidated. It was just Falcons flying around. “We’ll have opportunities to win,” he said. “If we make the other team adjust to us, we’re going to win a lot of games.” Fauquier will begin this season with a 12-game losing streak, but the Falcons fared well in their first scrimmage of the preseason, scoring three touchdowns to Skyline’s one. “That’s kind of like their ‘W.’ They proved they could win,” Buckwalter said. “A fantastic scrimmage.” Fauquier’s defensive secondary seems to be its most inexperienced unit with only one returning starter in senior Nick Shadyac, but junior Evan Jackson will help anchor that corps after losing a battle for the starting quarterback position to J.T. Diehl. “He can really track” the ball, Buckwalter said of Jackson’s ability to defend passes. “We’re really excited about him. He’s got a bright future.”

NEW RESPECT FOR UNDER SUSPECTION

Symansky goes wire-to-wire to win Great Meadow International By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

One of the nation’s most consistent elite eventers, Under Suspection hadn’t sported a blue ribbon on her bridle since a victory gallop in 2011. After a dominating performance in The Plains over the weekend, her long drought is over. Local owner Mary Ann Ghadban’s mare was ridden and trained by Mibbleburg’s Lynn Symansky, who bested a multinational field of 38 to win the Great Meadow International CCI****. Run over four days in The Plains, the headliner capped the festive summer tradition that included a bustling trade fair and an appreciative crowd that got a sneak-peek at contenders from three nations aimed at the 2020 Olympics. While the four-star division gave the GMI world class status, there were competitive and packed threestar and two-star divisions, as well. Under Suspection is 15 and a dark bay Holsteiner considered in the prime of her competition career. She controlled the competition from the start, with 25 in dressage and no penalties in show jumping. Under Suspicion added two penalties for a few seconds over time in Sunday’s cross-country, but her score held for Under Suspection’s first GMI win in four tries. Under Suspection finished fifth in the GMI three-star in 2016 with rider Hannah Sue Burnett, but was withdrawn after dressage in 2017 by Symansky, who took over the ride when Burnett was handed a controversial suspension. Symansky withdrew after show jumping last year, so she called this year’s victory extra special. The mare had some unexpected time off earlier this spring when she developed a painful rash on her stomach. A girth rub, or minor skin irritation in the saddle area, forced Symansky to withdraw Under Suspection just before the Kentucky Three-Day Event in April. Symansky said the sore was slow to heal, and, because of it, the mare’s training had been relatively light leading up to Great Meadow. “It was uncomfortable under her belly. It was some sort of infection, so we couldn’t put a girth on her for a while,” Symansky said. “At the end of the day, I always have to put the horse first, and it was not right pushing her. I’m glad I trusted my gut because we let that have some time, and she came

She was absolutely incredible and fought for me the whole way through.” Colleen Rutledge and her 13-yearold Thoroughbred cross gelding Covert Rights finished second with 31.5 penalties. Lauren Kieffer and D.A. Duras were third with 36.4. Olympic gold medalist and a resident of The Plains, event organizer David O’Connor made his debut as cross-country course designer for GMI this year, taking the reins from Michael Etherington-Smith, who served the event’s first four years. Cross-country at GMI has historically been a challenging phase. Although the first two years saw the dressage leader take top honors in the advanced division, 2017 and 2018 winners both moved up with clear cross-country rounds.

More on Lynn’s big win

With 18 international-level top-10 placings since imported from Germany in 2013, Under Suspection is one of America’s most consistent performers. Still, she hadn’t placed first in an FEI competition since 2011.

dleburg, was elated to see what the time off did for Under Suspection, who may next compete in an upper-level three-day this fall. Symansky’s career is soaring right now. An A-rated graduate of the Difficult Run Pony Club in Fairfax, Symansky competed in her first horse trials at age 5. After graduating cum laude from Washington and Lee in 2005, she’s methodically advanced to the top of the sport, winning Pan Am team gold in 2011, riding on the U.S. team at the 2014 and 2018 World Equestrian Games, and traveling reserve at the 2016 Olympics. Most recently, Symansky won team gold and individual silver at the Pan Am Games last month in Peru, finishing on her dressage score with RF Cool Play. The win secured the U.S. a berth at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, something Symansky said “is definitely (her) dream.”

Two-star and three-star divisions

Gordonsville rider Will Coleman and 7-year-old Holsteiner Chin Tonic HS won the CCI** division on their dressage score, 25.

Special church service celebrates anniversary Wesley Chapel UMC marks 175 years By John Toler

Associate Editor

Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church, located off Leeds Manor Road at 10023 Wesley Chapel Road, dates its founding back to 1844. On Sept. 15, the congregation will celebrate the church’s 175th anniversary. In the ministry since 1999, pastor of Wesley Chapel UMC is the Rev. Jose Saldana, who came to the church in 2013. The Worship Service will begin at 10 a.m. with the singing of old gospel hymns, followed by guest speakers, including five former pastors. The sermon will be delivered by Alexandria District Superintendent the Rev. Jeff Mickle.

Recalling the beginnings

It was Oct. 19, 1844, when Dr. Jaquelin Marshall, father of Chief Justice John Marshall, gave the trustees of the new church – who were members of the Warrenton Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church – the land for their house of worship. As early as 1835, the congregation had been meeting for worship at Pilgrim’s Retreat, the home of Col. Edward Digges near what is now known as Cliff Mills. They later met at The Glen, a mill building at Clift Church (later renamed Waterloo) on the Rappahannock River near the confluence with Carter’s Run. Construction started right way, as shown by the inscription carved on the keystone over the northwest door, “Abram Johnson 1844.” “It is said that the beautiful stonework was laid by Johnson, a free black man who was obviously an experienced master builder,” according to Lyle Minter in his history of the church. “Johnson worked in the local stone and used old-growth timber to finish the interior of the structure. According to custom, the stone was whitewashed regularly because a white finish was considered more attractive than bare stone.”

At the time the building was erected, it was known as the Clift Church. As was the custom of those times, there were two doors on the front of the church: one for the women, who would sit on one side after entering, and the other for the men, who would sit on the other side. Originally, there was a balcony with an outside entrance at the rear of the church for the use of African-American worshippers. The balcony is long-gone, but the outline of the exterior door is still visible.

Special church service celebrates anniversary CHURCH, from page 25 Their fundraising activities include bake sales and a church bazaar every autumn, as well as a series of cookbooks, beginning in 1955. The interior of the church was renovated in 1982; the floors were replaced, cracks in the interior stucco repaired, windows repointed and re-glazed, and a fresh coat of paint was applied. Outside, the foundation was stabilized, and two bathrooms added in a small addition accessed through a former window. “Much of the work was done by the church members themselves, and the then-preacher, [the] Rev. William Roberts, did the plumbing,” according to Minter. The next large project was the construction of the Tom Evans social Hall, built in 1985 to 86. It provided a social hall, kitchen and storage space on

the main level, and the pastor’s office, workroom, three classrooms a mechanical room and more storage. The Wesley Chapel UMW raised sufficient funds to furnish and equip the new kitchen. As part of the 175th anniversary celebration, the UMW is publishing its fifth edition of the series of cookbooks. Following the worship service on Sept. 15, a catered lunch will be served, recalling the many “dinners on the grounds” of the past, before the social hall was built. Returning to the sanctuary, Lyle Minter will present an in-depth history of the church, and the celebration will conclude with remarks by former pastor the Rev. Timo Rosenbach, who with his wife are serving as missionaries in his native Germany. Contact John Toler at jtoler@fauquier.com

Morison named new chairman of Mosby Heritage Area Association Staff reports C. Dulany Morison has been elected chairman of the Mosby Heritage Area Association, a nonprofit preservation and education organization governed by a volunteer board of directors. It is based in Marshall. Morison replaces Stephen C. Price, whose term ended in August. Morison joined the board in 2016 and will continue as co-chair of the preservation committee along with Ashton Cole. Morison said his top priority is to solidify MHAA as a leader in preserving the Northern Piedmont while continuing to offer a variety of high caliber programs. He plans to expand MHAA’s preservation efforts and programming in Fauquier County, which the organization sees as increasingly under threat by a growing number of special exception applications in the rural area. He also plans to highlight the rich equestrian history of the heritage area, beginning with a focus on foxhunting, which officially celebrates 180 years in America in 2020. Morison is a native of Middleburg and grew up at two family homes

The Cold War Museum, in cooperation with Old Bust Head Brewing Company, will host a presentation by former National Security Agency employee C. Eric “Rick” Estberg, author of the book “Berlin Daze.” He will draw from his book to share some of his adventures and unique experiences over a seven-year period in walled West Berlin, both as an Army NCO and as a National Security Agency civilian. As a “Cold Warrior” he served literally on the front lines, separated by only a few miles from hundreds of thousands of Soviet and East German soldiers. Unlike others who spent much of a career in those days simply training for some possible future crisis, Estberg actually lived his real-world mission, day-in and day-out, along with hundreds of others of talented, dedicated military and civilian intelligence specialists. Estberg joined the Army just after graduating from Ripon College in Wisconsin. He served as a linguist at the Army Field Station Berlin in the late 1970s, prior to getting hired at NSA in 1980. Within three years he had returned to Field Station Berlin for an extended assignment. Over the course of a nearly 40-year career at NSA, Estberg has held numerous positions, including linguist/reporter, senior policy staff officer, director’s speech writer, Brookings Fellow, chief of staff at the Interagency OPSEC Support Staff and intelligence adviser at NATO Headquarters in Brussels.

The characters of Dr. Seuss come alive on stage By Christine Clark

Special to the Fauquier Times

The celebrated books and beloved characters of Theodor Geisel (more famously known as Dr. Seuss) come alive on the Fauquier Community Theatre stage weekends through Sept. 15, in a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza. These classic, colorful tales that are loved by millions of children -- and also former children -- are seamlessly brought together by all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Lazy Mayzie, The Cat in the Hat and all of the Whos of Whoville. The musical is a mashup of the Dr. Seuss classics, centering especially on two: “Horton Hears a Who” and “Horton Hatches the Egg,” and dropping in characters from at least 15 other books. Thirty-plus cast members bring them to life through song and dance. The performance starts off with the song “Oh, The Thinks You Can Think,” that introduces Bevin Hester as the Cat in the Hat and defines the principals. Bevin is a real hoot and proves a vivacious, loveable narrator. We also meet the main character, Horton, the loyal and lovable elephant (Peter Marsh). As the story goes, Horton finds a speck of dust, places it in a clover and discovers that the speck houses Whoville, a village of tiny people in distress. No one else can hear them, and Horton suffers ridicule, especially from the bright and sassy Sour Kangaroo (Ashley Williams).

“Seussical The Musical” starts this Friday at Fauquier Community Theatre

PHOTOS BY SONIA BRONDER

The Cat in the Hat is played by Bevin Hester while the part of Jojo is played by JJ Calavas. JJ Calavas shines as Jojo, who is a Who citizen. He captures how tough being different can be, showing great courage in following his own path. Along the way, Horton is duped into “temporarily” babysitting the egg of a selfish lazy bird named Mayzie (Kenzie VanDerwerker -

playing fun-loving and sassy Mayzie perfectly), who then bustles off to Palm Beach for an extended vacation. The trio of Seussian lady birds (Helen Messick, Erica Davies, and Isabella McDonald) follow Mayzie and Gertrude around and delight the audience wherever they go. Horton hatches Mayzie’s egg, rescues his pint-sized pals and ends up with lovesick bird Gertrude McFuzz (the lovely and talented Abby Dahl). You see that nobody actually believes Horton hears the Who and it seems everyone wants to put him away in a looney bin. The Wickersham Brothers (Frankie Williams, Scott Pierce and Cary Reese), a gang of mockering monkeys, delight in making trouble for Horton. As each story unfolds you will marvel at how relevant and profound Seuss’s subtle themes are; making this musical one that appeals to all ages. The set is designed designed by Alanna Mensing and constructed to facilitate many complex choreographic high-kicks. The costumes, co-designed by Amber Kiffney, Micki Lindquist and Teena Stevic, are bright, delightful, and colorful and certainly add to

the vibrancy of the Seuss imagination and creativity. This is a show that celebrates friendship and community as much as the power of the individual imagination. It also teaches the power of being unique and the importance of fighting for your beliefs. Dr. Seuss would be thrilled. FCT’s production of “Seussical The Musical” is directed by Betsy Hansen, produced by Brooke Lyn Clark, sponsored by Discovery Publications, and presented by special arrangement with MTI, Intl. The nine performances will be held from Aug. 30 to Sept. 15.

Holiday productions feature classics and Christmas comedy Auditions open for upcoming ballet and musical

Two local nonprofit arts organizations are holding auditions the first weekend in September to cast holiday productions. The Centre Performing Arts Company is auditioning for “The Nutcracker” and Fauquier Community Theatre’s casting call is for “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical.” The Centre Performing Arts Company will bring to life the two-act classical ballet “The Nutcracker.” The holiday treat depicts a fanciful Christmas Eve in Europe when a young girl named Clara receives a nutcracker doll as a present. Tchaikovsky’s music paired with E.T.A. Hoffmann’s 1816 fairy tale makes for a stunning production. The one-day only audition for “The Nutcracker” will take place on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lasley Centre for the Performing Arts in Vint Hill at 7112 Farm Station Road, Warrenton. This will be the seventh year in a row that local Kalie Lasley will be directing the elaborate production that takes the stage on Dec. 7 and 8 at Fauquier High School. The cast will consist of about 40

DEBRA SMYERS children and 20 adults. With much excitement, Lasley said, “The Nutcracker is especially magical for children to be in; they have so much fun. Every year, the production gets bigger and better, bringing so much joy to the cast and audiences.” American Ballet Theatre principal Cory Stearns will be reprising his role from last year as the Nutcracker Prince/Cavalier. Mark Rubin returns as Drosselmeyer and Julia Carlson will encompass the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy again. All other roles are open, and most require intermediate through advanced level ballet students. There are also additional parts, for example the “party scene” is great for those who may not have ballet experience but as Lasley explained “have a background in ballroom dancing, acting or have pantomime skills.” For more information and to register for an audition for “The Nutcracker” visit www.centrecompany. org or call 540-905-8311. “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: The Musical” Fauquier Community Theatre

Over-the-water bungalows, not as far away as you think By Alesia House When people hear the phrase “over-the-water bungalows,” they immediately think of Fuji or Bora Bora, or the Maldives or Tahiti. The next question that comes to mind is, “Isn’t that a really long plane ride?” Yes, at least 18 to 20 hours to be exact. No one, not even an avid traveler, really wants to do a 20-hour plane ride, but those over-the-water bungalows are a slice of paradise! It’s what you’ve been saving for that special time together: the 25th anniversary milestone that you’ll never forget, or that honeymoon trip of a lifetime. Would you believe it if I told you that this slice of paradise was only a three- to fourhour plane ride away? More and more overthe-water bungalows are popping up, and people are getting to experience that “slice of heaven” for half of what Bora Bora will cost you. Riviera Maya, Jamaica, Panama, Belize, and St. Lucia are home to some amazing and lush over-the-water bungalows. Included in

taxi take you over to the resort where you can choose from several dining options, or just have your butler bring dinner to your villa. I’ve toured some of these lovely home-away-from-home villas, and I do think I could manage to stay in one for a few days. One more affordable option is to begin your vacation at the resort, stay for three nights, and then move to an over-the-water bungalow for the next three to four nights. Splitting up your stay is cost-effective and a way to experience the best of both worlds. El Dorado Maroma by Karisma debuted its over-the-water bunga-

lows in 2016, the first one of its kind to hit Mexico. As an adults-only all-inclusive resort, these bungalows are sure to please the romantic at heart. They’re designed from their home country’s Aztec roots: furniture made from local Zapote wood with white granite and authentic prints and fabrics. The newest Caribbean bungalows to make their debut are at Sandals South Coast, Jamaica – 12 bungalows in the shape of a heart. Each comes with butler service, and let’s just say they will unpack your luggage and press your clothes, if you would like. If staying in an overthe-water bungalow has been a dream for you, it’s closer and more affordable than you think.

In any case, for most people, it is day off from work and school so enjoy your day with family and friends. The Larry Weeks Community Pool will be open for the last day of the season on Monday, Sept. 2, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The annual Dog Swim at the pool is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 7, from 1 to 4 p.m. All dogs must be on a leash and up to date on shots.

find some others that you “must” have. Read, read, read. “We Band of Angels” is the heart-rending account of the nurses who were trapped on Bataan when it was occupied by the Japanese. These ladies suffered dreadfully even while attempting to care for their patients. It’s a good read, but it will break your heart. “Grace Will Lead Us Home” is the full account of the mass shooting that took nine lives at the Emanuel Church, in Charleston, South Carolina. The book includes many gory details of the event, plus the efforts of the families and friends of the victims to forgive and continue to live productive lives. Unfortunately, these mass shoot-

ings have become too frequent and many times, are perpetrated by unstable young men who have very little purpose in life except to embrace radical ideas of political leanings. Read this book and cry as you grieve for the lost lives and dreams of 10 families. Birthday wishes for Wendy Jeffries, Harrison Tippett, Beth Pinner, Josie Hutt and Michael Rowand. Have a wonderful day and enjoy it to the fullest! Our sweet pets send greetings. The kitties want to remind you that dogs are for people who need to be worshiped as gods; cats are for people who are strong enough to put up with the gods standing on their chests at 5 a.m. demanding a sacrifice!

President Donald Trump last week signed an executive order to have student debt forgiveness for disabled military veterans. The presidential order directs the U.S. Department of Education to eliminate federal student loan debt owned by American military veterans who are disabled.

OBITUARIES William (Bill) Joseph Chester William (Bill) Joseph Chester, 56 of Warrenton, VA passed away August 25, 2019 at his home surrounded by his family after a short, yet courageous battle with cancer. He was born on November 21, 1962 in Pittsfield, MA. Bill proudly served our nation as a U.S. Army Military Police Officer with distinction achieving the rank of Sergeant. Following graduation from college, Bill married his college sweetheart, Roberta. Together they raised a loving family of four children: Katelyn, Billy, Michael, and Joey, all who cared for their father at home throughout his battle with cancer. Bill’s professionalism, dedication and hard work spanned a nearly three-decade career marked by many recognitions and promotions in the Pharmaceutical Industry with Pfizer, Merck, InVentiv and Sun Pharma. Bill instilled in his teams the following mantra that he lived by, ‘’Your job is what you do, your family is who you are.’’ Bill served as a Eucharist minister and lector at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and was a proud member of the Knights of Columbus. A passionate Buffalo Bills and Boston Red Sox fan, Bill’s optimism was infectious. He leaves behind a legacy of wonderful smiles, loving care and a lasting glow of devotion to his wife, children, family and friends, colleagues and community. To all those who knew and admired him, Bill was a role model for what Christian marriage and fatherhood are meant to be. Bill drew his strength from a life long devotion to Saint Joseph, the protector of Our Lord Jesus. In addition to his loving wife of 27 years Roberta Chester, Bill is survived by his four children: Katelyn Chester, William Guy Chester, Michael Chester and Joseph Chester; as well as his father, Guy Chester, a sister, Jennifer Chester (Jonathan Wiener) and their children Remi, Lila, and Nolan and predeceased by his mother, Mary Kay Cunningham Chester, cousin Karen Chester, and beloved godson and nephew Tommy Laudani, age 18 of Emittsburg, MD. Additional survivors include cousins Vicki (Steve)Turner, Diana (Ray) Kirby, and several nieces and nephews and Godparents, Cecilia and James Joy, and many other extended family members on his wife’s side.

She was a lifetime member of the ladies auxiliary for Warrenton Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company and a former member of Bluestone Baptist Church where she was active in church functions as well as playing the piano.

Ronald R. Kilbourne September 30, 1934-August 12, 2019 Ron was a man of many interests. As a teen in his native town of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, he excelled at varsity football, basketball, and baseball, attending the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship. After serving in the Army, Ron completed his education at East Tennessee State University where he met his wife of 59 years, Anne Bowles Kilbourne. Together, they began careers as school guidance counselors. As a Master’s graduate of the College of William and Mary, he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He was a founding member and steering committee president of the Fairfax County Guidance Association. Ron cherished his vocation for the opportunity it gave him to help so many young people set a course for successful lives. Ron had a lifelong interest in jazz music (including a stint in broadcasting), stock market investing, politics and geneaology. He enjoyed reading books on a wide range of topics and encouraged others to educate themselves through reading. In his thirties, Ron was taking his family on a Sunday afternoon drive when, on impulse, he stopped to talk to a man he saw training thoroughbred horses in a pasture. That day began a second career in breeding and racing horses which lasted for the rest of his life. As owner and operator of KilBurn Stud, he bred and raced horses for over forty years, bringing scores of winners to the track in West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. He was a board member of the West Virginia Horseman’s Benevolent Protective Association and was a founder and President of the Virginia Horseman’s Association. Ron had a meticulous interest in the science and craft of horse-breeding and treasured the many meaningful friendships it brought into his life. Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Teddy Elisha and Pauline Rebecca Kilbourne and his brothers, Martin Van Buren and Gary Lee Kilbourne. He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 59 years, Anne Bowles Kilbourne, his only child, Michele Kilbourne Chambers and her husband Marc, his grandsons Ian Kilbourne Chambers and Seth Oman Chambers, his sister Teddy Lou Kilbourne Blann and her husband Larry, his sister-in-law Yvonne Swaim Kilbourne, and his nephew, Todd Lee Kilbourne. A Celebration of Life will take place at Dumfries United Methodist Church at a future date. A graveside inurnment service will be conducted at the family cemetery in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, also at a date to be announced.

RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION In recent years, the percentage of people who believe that it is very important to have religion incorporated into a funeral service has fallen to 39.5 percent (according to the National Funeral Directors Association’s 2017 Consumer Awareness and Preferences Study). As the broader trend of people not identifying with religion continues, it is important to point out that funeral preplanning enables individuals to select non-clergy celebrants to conduct their funeral ceremonies. As with many matters surrounding funerals, it is best to make one’s preferences clearly known in advance so that the decision is not left to others. Without specific instructions in hand, relatives of the deceased are left to assume what their loved would have wanted. 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.
