School Board seeks a designer for school expansion

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County School Board agreed to release a request for proposals for the design of the expansion and renovation of Cedar Lee Middle

School at its work session Monday, Sept. 23. The goal of the expansion is to make room for 300 more students in the Bealeton middle school. Some students who currently attend Warrenton middle schools would be redistricted to Cedar Lee, and the rest of the boost

in student population would come from predicted growth in the southern part of the county.

School board members are looking for a design that will: add 12 to 14 classrooms (and perhaps two science labs), increase cafeteria space,

redesign and expand the front office space, create a secure front entrance and expand and redesign the parking area and front bus loop, as well as the student pick up and drop off area.

Dance classes for seniors explore stories through movement Allegro Community School of the Arts in Warrenton brought its THRIVE special focus dance class to the senior residents at Poet’s Walk, a memory care assisted living facility in Warrenton, on Sept. 12. Designed for those diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s, the class accommodated residents in wheelchairs, walkers and chairs -- and their caregivers. The class, offered in celebration of National Assisted Living Week, explored narrative storytelling through movement. Residents also worked on art projects with assistance from Earth, Glaze and Fire staff.

Residents speak out against Broad Run Estates proposal Planning commission postpones decision for 90 days

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A decision on rezoning property off Broad Run Church Road for a 166-home development was put off for 90 days by the Fauquier County Planning Commission, after most speakers in an overflow audience spoke against it during a public hearing on Sept. 18.

Lakeside Homes LLC seeks a rezoning from R-1 to R-4, while pledging to preserve the 73-acre Ringwood Farm southeast of Rogues Road through a conservation easement. Only three lots could be built there. The developer would give up a by-right development to build on 62 lots in exchange for the higher density next door.

The proposed Broad Run Estates development of 166 homes would sit at the southwest corner of the Broad Run Church and Riley roads intersection, diagonally across the intersection from C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary School. The land lies within the New Baltimore Service District.

Concerns about increased traffic and a change in the rural character of the area were voiced during the hearing that drew an audience that exceeded the 50-seat capacity of the first-floor meeting room of

Knisley of Meaghan Lane.

Michele Schaner of Lake Drive said she attended meetings on the Warren Green building.

“We want to continue this as a dialogue,” said Garreau, who invited additional comments to staff at the county’s community development department and to planning commission members.

The commission will take up the matter in 90 days, at which time it will reopen the public hearing. The commission at some point will vote to make a recommendation to the county board of supervisors, which will also conduct a public hearing before voting on the application.

Silverback Ranch

In other action, the commission voted to recommend to the supervisors that they approve a special exception application to allow an existing four-bedroom home at 14047 Hume Road in Hume to be used as a tourist home for up to 10 guests.

The property is known as Silverback Ranch and is owned by a couple living in Pennsylvania who propose to have a caretaker run the tourist home.

The recommendation of approval now goes to the board of supervisors.

No one spoke in favor or against the application when the planning commission held a public hearing preceding the vote.

The Green Team at St. James’ Episcopal Church

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL

Cindy Burbank is with Citizen’s Climate Lobby.

Fauquier held its own climate change rally at Rady Park Friday CLIMATE RALLY, from page 1 7 p.m. Its mission is “to raise awareness of climate change and advocate solutions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.”

‘We get together to talk and work on projects. It’s a fun group,” said Rossi.

Sara Lara is the head of a Warrenton nonprofit, Women for Conservation.

She said she feels that women working together can make a real difference in protecting wildlife and their habitats.

She talked about the species of birds that have been lost in recent years.

Their loss could have been prevented through awareness, she said.

A civil engineer, she added, “I think women have been neglected and ignored in conservation spaces.

I want to educate women who want to be part of the solution.”

Cindy Burbank, representing Citizens’ Climate Lobby, said her group

focuses on influencing government policy. With 18 local members, the organization spans the globe. Its focus, she said, is on bipartisan solutions. “We have been working with Del. Denver Riggleman, R-Va. 5th, and have seen a lot of movement.”

One national bill the group has been working on – The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act -- has 63 sponsors thus far. It places a price on carbon at the source, charging businesses. In turn, they charge households, who start to use less of that energy to reduce their cost.

The bill is meant to appeal to conservatives as well as progressives, she said. It sends a signal to businesses to innovate, and the money collected is given back to households. “Several large oil companies are supporting it,” she said. “It lets the marketplace work, rewarding those who cut back on energy usage and encouraging innovation.”

Julie Bolthouse, Fauquier field of-

Kathy Ellis, a parishioner of St. James’ Episcopal Church in Warrenton, explained during the Sept. 20 rally that the church’s Green Team is one of many committees that operate under the direction of the priests (the Rev. Ben Maas and the Rev. Randolph Charles) and vestry.

The group’s mission statement is: “With God’s help, the Green Team is dedicated to educating and mobilizing the congregation, school, and community to care for this fragile earth, our island home.”

Ellis said, “The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia has a Creation Care Task Force made up of representatives of other churches, and we coordinate and network with them.

The Episcopal Diocese of Virginia will have its annual convention

in November, and its theme will be Creation Care with a focus on the inequality of climate change’s impacts.”

She added, “The national Episcopal Church has stated strong resolutions about climate change, and the Diocese of Virginia’s Bishop Goff participated in a Climate Event in Minneapolis on Sept. 20.”

On a local scale, St. James’ Green Team has completed various projects to encourage people to reduce use, re-use and recycle.

This fall, said Ellis, “We want to address the spiritual and emotional damage that climate change is doing.

There is no precedent for this, and so we are ‘feeling our way.’ We feel this is a place the church is called to be. We’ll begin with three Creation Care Listening Sessions for church members in the fall.”

ficer for the Piedmont Environmental Council, reminded those assembled that the PEC “always has climate change at the back of everything we do.”

She talked about the group’s emphasis on public transportation (instead of road construction), land use and land conservation. “Land conservation is the number one way to prevent climate change,” she said.

She added that the PEC lobbies the general assembly on energy issues and is working on initiatives to “Solarize the Piedmont.”

Gerry Eitner spoke for her group, Communities of Peace. One of the group’s gradually emerging goals is a response to climate change. “We’re all in this together,” Eitner says on her website (communitiesofpeace.org). “We’re now sponsoring gatherings of women who are involved in climate change, called “Climate Change – From the Heart.” Our intention is to connect, collaborate, cross-fertilize and create sustainable solutions, at all levels.”

Kathy Ellis, representing the Green Team at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Warrenton (see accompanying box) explained that young people are deciding not to have children because of climate anxiety.

“They don’t want to bring children into this world … We need a way to address the anger people feel and their sense of loss for the future they thought was guaranteed.”

She said the church will be sponsoring listening sessions this fall so that people can express their grief and support one another. “People need to know that we are not in this alone,” she said.

Before gathering to take a group photograph to mark the occasion, Rossi summed up how he feels about climate change activism, “What gives us hope is the ability to act.”

School Board seeks a designer for school expansion SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1 The plan also calls for an expanded gymnasium or possibly, the addition of an auxiliary gymnasium. Dave Graham, executive director of administration and planning, said at the meeting, “I don’t know how Cedar Lee has managed this long without an auxiliary gym.”

Graham added that the expansion will include other adjustments that will be necessary to add not only 300 students, but the teachers and extra staff needed to serve those students.

The price tag for the project has been set at $10 million.

Susan Monaco, procurement manager for the school division, said that there has already been considerable interest in the project, so she expects to have plenty of proposals to sort through. She said that the ideal candidate will be one with experience in the expansion and renovation of middle schools. “This is not new construction. We need a company that knows how to work around an existing school building.”

The RFP will go out Sept. 31, a meeting with interested companies will be held Oct. 8 at Cedar Lee and sealed proposals will be accepted until Oct. 31.

After review by the school board, the design con-

tract could be awarded in late January. The chosen company will have one year to complete the design.

After a construction company is selected, that company would have 18 months to finish the expansion and redesign, for a projected finish date of August of 2022.

The school division has not yet decided which one of two Warrenton middle schools -- Taylor Middle or Warrenton Middle -- will close and which will be expanded and renovated.

Milestone Communications presented an example of what a cell tower (center) placed on an athletic field looks like.

Cell tower proposed for Fauquier High baseball field

Also at Monday’s school board work session, Matt Penning of Milestone Communications in Reston presented a plan to replace an 80-foot light pole on the baseball field at Fauquier High School with a 130-foot pole. The field lights would be placed at the same height as they are now, but the pole would also support up to four wireless carriers above the lights.

Penning said that T-Mobile has already committed to locating on the tower if it is approved.

If the board agrees to the proposal, the school division would receive $20,000 up front from Milestone and $5,000 from Milestone when each new provider signs on. In addition, Fauquier

County Public Schools will receive 40 percent of all gross revenue generated from carriers locating on the cell tower.

Penning said that Milestone would need to obtain zoning permission from the town of Warrenton and conduct a community outreach campaign to local residents. Obtaining all the necessary permits and permissions would probably take nine to 10 months; the project could be accomplished in late summer or early fall, to avoid any disruption to Fauquier High School or American Legion baseball seasons.

First candidates forum tackles wide range of issues Opponents in three state races face off in Bealeton

“I don’t think it’s my place as a legislator to interfere with that decision” between a patient and doctor, said Guzman.

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Differences between candidates in three state races were more pronounced on abortion, gun control and the Equal Rights Amendment than on broadband expansion, the opioid crisis and education during a Sept. 18 forum.

The first half of the two-hour forum at Liberty High School in Bealeton featured incumbent Del. Mark Cole, R-88th, and his Democratic opponent, Jessica Foster; incumbent Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, and her Republican opponent D.J. Jordan; and state Sen. Jill Vogel, R-27th, and her Democratic opponent Ronnie Ross.

About 200 were in the audience for the first part of the evening, including about a dozen who are not old enough yet to vote. One young woman said, “I’ll be able to vote in November. I plan on voting Republican, but I want to hear what everyone has to say.”

Catherine Nelson, publisher of the Fauquier and Prince William Times, Lou Emerson, editor of Fauquier Now, and Leland Schwartz of Fauquier Channel 1 were tasked with asking questions of the candidates; they took questions from the audience as well.

“Most of the work we do in Richmond is bipartisan, the nuts and bolts, not the hot button issues” that draw the media’s attention, Cole said in his opening statement. He said he’s worked across the aisle with Democrats on issues and “that’s what I want to continue to do as your

The Tran bill

One of those hot button issues was a bill introduced in January by Del. Kathy Tran, D-42nd. It would eliminate the requirement that an abortion in the second trimester of a pregnancy take place in a hospital and that two other physicians certify that a third trimester abortion is necessary.

The candidates were asked about it during the forum.

“It takes that protection away.

That’s just wrong,” said Cole. “It’s wrong to allow abortion up to birth.”

Foster said she trusted the woman involved and her doctor to make health care decisions. She called the flap over the Tran bill, which was re-

Second forum set for Sept. 25

The next Fauquier Candidates Forum will be held from 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Marshall Community Center. It will feature Del. Michael Webert-R 18th, and his Democratic opponent Laura Galante, and Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel. She is facing Paul Petrauskas on the Nov. 5 ballot.

The final forum will be held Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Taylor Middle School. The forum will include: Eric Maybach (R) and Angela Smith (I), running for commissioner of the revenue; School Board Chairman Suzanne Sloane (I), Shelly Norden (I) and Michael Hammond (I), running for the Scott District School Board seat; candidates for the Center District school board seat, Rachel Bongiovi (I) and Susan E. Pauling (I); and candidates for the Lee District school board seat – School board member Donald L. Mason (I) and Stephanie E. Litter-Reber (I).

ferred to the Courts of Justice committee of the House in February with no further action since then, “GOP propaganda.”

Jordan said he would oppose the Tran bill. He said “I cried” when he first heard about it.

“If we devalue life at one stage, we can at another,” possibly those who are disabled, Jordan said.

Wading into gun safety, the group was asked a question about whether they would support additional background checks, a ban on assault weapons or a “red flag” rule (a petition to a court to order removal of firearms from someone deemed posing a risk).

Cole responded that he supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms. “Law-abiding citizens will obey the law, criminals won’t,” Cole said of enacting stricter laws.

He said people with mental health issues certainly shouldn’t have access to firearms, but due process should be followed in denying access. He said he didn’t know how restricting personal transactions or transfers of firearms to a family member could be made to work.

Foster said she is the wife of a gun owner and daughter of one. “Every sale should have a background check.

It’s not complicated.” She said police should be empowered to confiscate a gun through a court order.

Jordan said, “one person dying from a gun is too many” but “guns are not the problem. It’s guns in the hands of people with evil intent.”

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | September 25, 2019

First candidates forum tackles wide range of issues CANDIDATE FORUM, from page 5 Guzman said loopholes in existing law to cover background checks for online and gun show sales should be closed.

Broadband

Each candidate agreed there’s a broadband access problem in less populated areas of the state and that more should be done to see that it’s provided.

“I believe we can do more” on top of the $19 million allocated for broadband expansion through a telecommunications act approved this year by the General Assembly, said Guzman. “It has to be a priority.”

Foster said broadband access isn’t just a communications issue but one that touches education, economic development and transportation as well. Broadband access would allow students to do schoolwork at home, businesses to be conducted and provide a telework option.

Cole suggested “piggybacking” on the service of electrical co-ops could be used to expand broadband.

He called for a concerted effort of the sort that brought electrical service to rural areas in the 20th century.

Jordan said that localities should determine the sort of broadband expansion they want in their areas.

“It’s important for there to be competition” in providing service, Jordan said.

Education

Foster said teachers and support staff are the “first responders for our children” and inequities of teacher pay and educational quality among school divisions need to be addressed.

Candidates were asked about the local composite index formula used to apportion state aid to education.

It results in some counties getting more per pupil than others based on their relative wealth.

Foster called it “an old formula” that deserves to be reviewed. Jordan said expenses are higher in Prince William and Fairfax counties but if there is a $2,000 per pupil higher rate of educational aid to those counties that may be “too much.” He said he’d need to do more research on the problem.

Cole, seeking his 10th term, said changing the composite index would be difficult to do and that supplemental funding could be provided to address the “cost of competing” problem.

The Equal Rights Amendment

Jordan said trying to revive a 1970s era effort to pass an Equal Rights Amendment is “a moot point” because an extension of a

Cole agreed and he said, Congress should begin from scratch with a new proposed amendment for states to act on. He also said Virginia and the federal government have equal rights protections in place.

“I’ve had to work twice as hard as men. A woman is making less money than a man,” said Guzman, who added that as the mother of three daughters she supports the ERA. Foster said Cole’s stance on the ERA helped motivate her to run.

Agriculture

Guzman said she supported providing incentives to farm producers.

Cole said reviewing taxes and regulations could be the answer to encourage more diversified farm production. “I don’t think you want to have to depend on a few large producers,” he said.

Drug use

In answer to a question about needle exchange programs that give drug addicts clean needles, Cole said it’s fine for private groups or charities to do that work but that “it could be seen as facilitating drug use” for the government to get involved. Jordan said he supported social service agency involvement.

Foster said she thought such programs were aimed at “saving lives” and she didn’t share Cole’s concern about government involvement.

Guzman expressed that view as well.

Jordan said he supported medicinal use of marijuana and reduced sentences for first-time recreational users but didn’t support legalizing recreational marijuana.

Foster, a criminal defense attorney, said she supported decriminalization. Cole supports lessening the penalties.

Senate race

About half the audience departed before the second hour of the forum.

State senate candidates – Vogel and Ross – also gave opening and closing statements and responded to questions from the panel of journalists.

Vogel supported the expansion of Medicaid in Virginia. She said she has championed equality under the law, and her bill to ban child marriages passed.

She noted endorsements she’s received from firefighters, teachers and the farm bureau.

Vogel is in her third term in the state senate, representing a district that includes Fauquier, Frederick

and Clarke counties, the city of Winchester and parts of Loudoun, Stafford and Culpeper counties.

Ross is a teacher at Highland School in Warrenton.

Gun safety

Ross said he supports expanding background checks before gun sales. He also supports waving a tax on the sale of gun safes that cost less than $1,000, to encourage people to use them.

“I like to shoot,” Ross said, explaining he target shoots. But, he said, he’s tired of having to run his students through active shooter drills.

Vogel said she’s willing to consider anything that the Virginia Crime Commission comes up with. The bipartisan commission was tasked with looking into mass shootings and other gun violence following the mass shootings at a Virginia Beach municipal building in May. Vogel said the issue of gun control involves “a delicate balance,” particularly in the 27th District which includes many sportsmen. A ban on carrying guns in the municipal building didn’t stop the Virginia Beach shooter, she said.

Unfunded mandates

Ross said he supports local governments making decisions that affect them and allowing them to be free of unfunded mandates from the state.

“I always make it my business not to support something that is only one-third or one-half funded,” with local government expected to cover the balance, Vogel said.

Drug use

Vogel said she supports the use of medical marijuana and reducing penalties for recreational use, though not for decriminalization. She noted she introduced a cannabis oil bill. Ross said he thinks it’s time to decriminalize marijuana use. Both candidates spoke in support of drug courts – courts that direct defendants to treatment programs in place of jail time.

Redistricting

The candidates agreed the current manner of redistricting needs to be changed. The current system is “unfair and a pox on the electorate” and should be replaced with one that is “fair and non-partisan,” Ross said.

Vogel said the current system often creates districts that split areas of common interest and spread out rather than compact communities.

Lord Fairfax Community College officials say that the science building will probably look very similar to the way it looked in previous renderings.

LFCC: State budget could make up for science building shortfall Hazel Hall, with $20 million cost, could begin construction in July 2020

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Lord Fairfax Community College officials are pinning their hopes on next year’s state budget. They hope the state will make up a $5 million shortfall needed to build Hazel Hall, an academic building planned at the campus outside Warrenton.

The 40,000 square foot building housing science, health and engineering will carry the names of Eleanor C. and William A. Hazel, the couple in whose name a $1 million donation was made.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held in December 2017 with the expectation the building would be open in the fall of 2019. But the Virginia Community College System couldn’t approve construction without approved plans and an approved final budget. The VCCS oversees a network of 23 community colleges.

During 2018, efforts were made to reduce costs in order to resubmit plans in the late fall or early winter, according to Christopher Coutts, provost at LFCC’s Fauquier campus.

“They were able to make significant progress on this and got the cost much closer to the approved budget-

ed amount. Unfortunately, the price that came back in March was high again, in part due to inflation over the intervening time,” Coutts said.

The $20 million final price tag was $5 million more than the state appropriation.

Since March “we have been working with the VCCS to submit a request to the state for additional funding” from the current state budget, said LFCC President Kim Blosser. “Unfortunately, we received word from the [state] Department of Planning and Budget that our request has been denied and we will be required to go back through the state budget process during the upcoming legislative session.”

Blosser said the VCCS feels confident that the $5 million needed will be included in the budget.

“We will work with our local legislators to ensure it remains part of the final budget bill,” Blosser said.

Assuming it’s approved, construction can move forward after July 1, 2020.

“Based on information given me there would be support for it” in the Virginia General Assembly, said Coutts. “We’re working with our legislators to get a better sense of it.”

Coutts said areas of additional cost savings could be considered, such as removing a conference room or a science lab, but the project would still occupy a 40,000 square foot footprint as approved.

19-year-old killed in Midland car crash One person has died as the result of a two-vehicle crash in Fauquier County Friday, Sept. 20. The accident occurred on Va. 612 (Brent Town Road), about a half mile north of Va. 610 (Aquia Road) in Midland, according to Virginia State Police spokesman Sgt. Brent Coffey.

Coffey reported that a 2000 Ford F-450 was traveling north on Va. 612 a little after 1 p.m. when the driver ran off the right side of the roadway, over-corrected, crossed the center line and collided with a southbound 2013 Ford F-150.

The Ford F-450 then ran off the roadway on the right side, struck an embankment and overturned, Coffey said.

The driver of the Ford F-450, Brayan E. Moreira-Saravia, 19, of Brandywine, Maryland, suffered

minor injuries in the crash. He was wearing a seat belt.

A passenger in the F-450, Brian Recinos, 19, of Manassas, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene as a result of his injuries, Coffey said.

He was not wearing a seat belt.

The driver of the Ford F-150, a 31-year-old man from of Virginia Beach, was not injured in the crash.

He was wearing a seat belt.

Coffey said that Moreira-Saravia was charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain proper control.

The crash remains under investigation.

Virginia State Police was assisted

by VSP’s Division 2 Accident Reconstruction Team and the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Coffee with a Cop Day is Wednesday, Oct. 2 On the morning of Wednesday, October 2, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office will recognize National Coffee with a Cop Day. Sgt. James Hartman said, “We will be at various locations throughout the county that morning, so stop by one and share a cup of coffee and conversation with us!”

• Happy Creek Coffee and Haymarket Bicycles in The Plains • Café Torino in Warrenton • Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton • Northside 29 in New Baltimore National Coffee with a Cop Day is a day dedicated to encouraging communication and positive interactions between law enforcement and the public, said Hartman. “Just having a cup of coffee with a citizen can be a first step in building trust and cooperation between law enforcement and our community.”

Linda McClanahan enjoys the company of one of the community’s youngest members, Addyson Brown. Ryan Brown, her dad, is looking on.

From gardening to gathering There’s something going on in Remington -- actually, a lot of somethings -- and it looks like fun.

John Waldeck, who has helped to develop Remington’s Community Garden, said he was shocked when 250 people attended the group’s Big Bad BBQ Brawl last Saturday night. Not too long ago, a movie and music night in Remington would attract 10 to 15 people. Now, third-Saturday events draw folks from beyond the town and require a rethink of parking options.

Waldeck remembers that about five years ago, the Remington United Methodist Church wanted to make use of an acre and a half of land next to the church and the idea of a community garden surfaced. The 11-member Community Garden board includes some church members and operates under the auspices of the church.

“Our goals were simple,” said Waldeck. “We wanted to give people a chance to grow their own fruits and vegetables. And we wanted to bring people together.”

Waldeck, a mental health professional, said he sees that anxiety and depression are major issues. “… loneliness is one of the biggest problems in the United States…. Social media is not enough. If people don’t get together, if they never touch another person, we don’t get to see that our differences are so minor.”

Grants from the PATH Foundation and other entities have allowed for the purchase of a shed, water lines, a tiller and a mower, flowers, shrubs and trees.

Thirty-five garden plots serve local families. They pay what they can to participate. “One homeless gentleman gave $1,” said Waldeck.

He added, “One of our gardeners said to me that he used to spend his time inside watching game shows

on television. He told me ‘Now I’m doing something that I truly love.’

And it gives him great joy to meet and help other gardeners.”

Waldeck said, “Remington is an old town with small lots. Lots of people have never gardened.

Families, elderly people who never had the chance before are learning how.” Regular lectures from Master Gardeners supply inspiration.

Check off goal number one of the Community Garden project.

Another grant from PATH for $25,000 paid for a pavilion. “That’s when things really started to happen” toward meeting the group’s second goal, Waldeck said, “The pavilion allows gardeners to have a place to get out of the sun. We bought benches and tables where families could come during the day to have a picnic. It allowed us to have acoustics for our concerts. The movers and shakers in the town asked us how they could help. They told us, ‘This is something I want to be involved with.’ ” A Farmers Market is a part of each third-Saturday event; vendors would like it to expand to a weekly event.

The Remington Community Garden has its own Facebook page and its monthly events are themed. October 18 will feature “Ghosts in the Garden.” November could feature a community Thanksgiving dinner; a nativity scene and bonfire are being talked about for December.

Waldeck said that organizers thought the September event would be the last of 2019, “but people didn’t want to stop.”

Waldeck remembers calling Christy Connolly of the PATH Foundation when the garden received its first grant. “Why us?” he asked.

He said Connolly replied, “Because it can make a difference in Remington.”

She was right.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago September 25, 1944 Sixty years of service to town and county was ended last week when J. W. (Pete) Shirley turned over the Fauquier jail to Turner Grimsley, the new jailor. Shirley was first appointed town sergeant about 1880 and served until June 1, 1914, when he was appointed deputy sheriff by Sheriff A. S. Hamilton. Later that month he was reappointed deputy sheriff and jailor by Sheriff W. S. Woolf.

The latest Warrenton Navy recruits, according to Chief Alton Frix, are Hugh B. Harris Jr., Harvey Craun Jr. and Allen Glascock.

Charles Hanback Jr. will accompany Craun and Glascock to Richmond for his physical examination, and if he passes will be sworn in at the same time.

Lt. Augustus diZerega V, fighter pilot in the 9th Air Corps, was reported missing in action over France on Aug. 28, according to the telegram received last week by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Augustus diZerega IV, of Foxcroft, Middleburg.

50 Years Ago September 25, 1969 Thomas Newton “Tom” Frost, a senior member of the Virginia House of Delegates and Fauquier’s most energetic citizen, died of a heart attack Thursday evening, Sept. 18, while he was dining with County Clerk Harvey Pearson at the Commonwealth club in Richmond. He was 64.

Duncan C. Gibb, 53, Warren County Attorney, has been chosen

by 28th District Democrats to pick up the standard that fell when Del. Tom Frost died suddenly of a heart attack.

Fauquier High School football player Leon Williams was pictured on Page 1 being hauled down by James Wood High’s Billy Stone after pulling a pass good for 23 yards.

The play resulted in Fauquier’s lone score, falling to the Colonels 21-6.

25 Years Ago September 28, 1994 Opponents continued their assault on the Disney’s America theme park after the Prince William County Planning Commission voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the giant development. Only Richard Hefter, who represents the Gainesville District where the park will be located, voted against the project.

The Town of Warrenton’s Planning Commission voted 5-1 to recommend that the Town Council grant a special use permit that will allow Highland School to expand its current facilities and build a 200-student high school. The lone dissenting vote was cast by Commissioner John Harre, who expressed concerns about traffic congestion.

At no surprise to Charles Flammia, project manager of Liberty High School, none of the 12 fields and competition areas at the new high school will be useable in 1994.

Reports that were presented to the contractors for field construction Sept. 16 broke the news that none of the fields will be used this fall or winter.

School board candidate Susan Pauling has a focused family-first mentality I’ve had so many opportunities to speak and teach at various churches, schools and community organizations over the years (both public and private), with a vast majority of those being centered around future generations in Fauquier County. As a former youth pastor and current law-enforcement officer, I know how important it is to set our youth up for success and engage them in positive and encouraging ways.

It is for those reasons I humbly (and with great excitement) endorse Susan Pauling for Fauquier County School Board, Center District. As a parent of two children with futures in the Fauquier County school system, Mrs. Pauling’s attitude, demeanor, empathy and passionate resolve for the success of our students are all attributes that I would trust and hope for in someone that would be placed in education leadership.

Many of my personal friends and family have been quick to seek counsel with Susan and her husband Phillip, as they have always been willing to coach or provide wisdom to many young couples in our area preparing for marriage and/or growing a fam-

ily. If you’ve never met any of Mrs. Pauling’s children, I encourage you to do so, as they are an exact reflection of the love and care that their parents show to everyone on a daily basis.

With a family-first mentality, I’ve seen, firsthand, Mrs. Pauling’s selfless love and concern for those around her -especially those that currently serve in the school system as a teacher, admin or support staff (many of whom are my personal friends and family).

Mrs. Pauling’s current involvement in the school system is second to none and I’ve always enjoyed watching the way Mrs. Pauling works with others to achieve a common goal.

I am inspired by her willingness to always educate herself on matters that would provide her with the best chance to make informed decisions.

Likewise, Mrs. Pauling is always willing to humbly listen to the ideas of others with an open mind and I ultimately believe that she will only make decisions regarding our schools with integrity and honor; so that our children, as well as teachers and staff can succeed in the best ways possible.

Climate Change rally embraced philosophies of the left and the right Thank you for your story on Fauquier’s climate gathering in Rady Park on Friday (“Fauquier Held Its Own Climate Change Rally in Rady Park Friday,” September 22).

It was important because it was Fauquier County (not D.C. or NYC), and those of us who participated in the rally represent many different perspectives and approaches to climate change: long-time residents, newcomers, conservatives, progressives, church members, economists, engineers, teachers, security experts, gardeners, moms, software programmers, and, yes, one dog (Rowdy, the goldendoodle).

Some of us are responding to climate change “from the heart,” and with a spiritual message, while others of us are working hard to build bipartisan support for a powerful market-based, economic solution that both conservatives and progressives support, along with much of the business community.

To your readers: We know we are not alone. We know that even in Fauquier County concern is growing about the risks that climate change presents and the changes that are already happening. We hope you will consider learning more and getting involved in one of our groups: Citizens

A special note to your readers who are conservative: Climate change does not have to be a leftward march. We need your help to adopt a bipartisan national policy, that relies on the marketplace, that will drive private sector innovation, that gives citizens and households choices, that will generate jobs and be good for the economy.

It’s called the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act (H.R. 763), and it has over 60 sponsors in the House.

It has the support of many conservative groups and individuals, including George Schulz, who was always at the right hand of Ronald Reagan in economic and policy matters. Our own Congressman, Rep. Denver Riggleman, has met with us and genuinely appreciated the principles and approach of our bill.

As Adam Rossi said at the Fauquier climate rally on Friday, “What gives us hope is the ability to act.”

We hope you will act, and join us.

The Three Blacksmiths expands service Popular Sperryville restaurant to offer Wednesday dining

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

It’s a problem every restaurant seeks: guests requesting more dining hours.

What drives such demand? For The Three Blacksmiths, it was due in part to the Washington Post’s 2019 Spring Dining Guide that rated the restaurant number four out of its top 30 newcomers in the DC Metro area. It was one of many acclaimed reviews.

An impressive achievement for an establishment that opened just over a year ago.

Tom Sietsema, the Post’s nationally known food critic and author of the guide, made this observation: “The lone complaint I’ve ever heard about this Sperryville sensation concerns the challenge of securing a table.”

Always nice to be called a sensation.

And it’s now nice to learn owners John and Diane MacPherson have addressed what appears to be the only problem with their business. On Oct. 2 they will start accepting reservations for Wednesday service to be offered starting on October 23.

Sietsema, who is not known for an easy compliment goes on to say, “… wannabe diners can book out as far as 203 days (29 weeks). Worth the trip?

Definitely -- worth any hassle, too.”

The downside of that reservation policy is Diane’s observation, “As of Sept. 18, we are booked through April 4, 2020.” Hopefully the additional dining day will ease some of the angst among their current and future fans.

To better understand how such a problem could exist, consider the restaurant is currently open only on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for a single seating of 20 guests. The experience is more akin to attending a private three-hour dinner party than public dining.

Sous chef Ethan Taylor shares in creating the one-of-a-kind dishes along with Chef John MacPherson. Diane MacPherson is the dining room manager.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Elegant dishes such as this cured Arctic char are a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.

Background

So how did a relatively unknown couple catapult to the top of the nation’s capital dining scene? It started in New England where both are originally from; John, 54, came from the Boston area and Diane, 51, south of Hartford.

Their careers took them independently to California and a serendipitous first meeting at a wine event led to couplehood. “We literally met in a vineyard,” remembers Diane fondly. The couple has a son Finn, 13.

After more than two decades, their West Coast careers grew stale, leaving them “cogs in a wheel.” John believed they should make a living doing something they loved and suggested running a B&B. Diane quickly agreed. It was something she had always wanted to pursue.

Their search for the perfect inn led them to Virginia and specifically, Rappahannock County. In 2004 they purchased the Foster Harris House in Little Washington, gaining experience in hospitality while garnering a legion of fans. After 13 years of honing their culinary and hosting skills, the decision was made to shift full-time to the restaurant business. The eatery opened in June 2018.

Almost anyone who owns a successful restaurant will opine it’s not all accolades and smiles. But The Three Blacksmiths might be the exception.

Given the intimate setting and multicourse dinners served with casual ambiance and style, the experience is like spending an evening with family and friends.

“Almost every night someone out of the blue will say, ‘We’re having such a good time!’ That’s not something you hear all the time. But when someone is so in the moment that they recognize it and express it, it’s very gratifying,” says Diane.

John is the chef and Diane man-

ages the dining room. A team of four rounds out the staff that John refers to, “As this little family of employees that’s hard to call employees. They are such an important part of the whole thing. It makes the work a really wonderful experience.”

While John did not start cooking professionally until the B&B opened, his training dates to his youth. “I grew up in a family that was ridiculously passionate about food and wine.” The family traveled widely in pursuit of their passion. All of his family are excellent cooks.

During his West Coast career John was a competitive cyclist. “The great thing about racing a bike is you get to eat a lot.” His culinary and racing skills led to the creation of the popular Tour d’Epicure, a cycling and fine dining adventure formerly offered by their B&B.

Always at the ready

So is everything perfect every night? Mostly yes, but situations do arise that call for immediate action.

The MacPhersons recall one incident in particular. A group of six diners were standing around their table enjoying a convivial conservation before dinner.

With the rest of the diners seated, the owners asked if they’d like to take their seats.

As they moved toward their chairs, water began pouring from an overhead chandelier onto their table. It was a pleasant evening so it wasn’t a leaking roof. Quickly the table was moved, cleared and reset while John raced upstairs to investigate.

To his surprise, an air conditioning unit had overflowed its holding tank and was streaming water into the room below. The unit was quickly drained and the unexpected “rain shower” ended.

“Today those guests are regulars but their evening could have been ruined if

the leak happened during dinner,” Diane remembers.

Pricing & Reservations

Payment for dinners is unique. The multi-course tasting menu costs $128 per person plus a $70 alcohol charge; gratuity and tax not included. Both reservations and payment are made online.

A $50 deposit per person is levied when reservations are made. On the morning of the dinner, the remaining bill is charged to the guest’s credit card.

“When guests arrive, they sit down, enjoy their meal and leave when they’re finished. There’s no business transactions after the dinner,” said John.

Early September brought good news to farmers when the Trump administration repealed the 2015 Waters of the U.S. rule — a big win for farmers across the nation, according to a spokesman for the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation.

“Repeal of the Waters of the United States rule is good news for farmers, who have faced a web of confusing and unclear rules related to our land-use decisions,” said Virginia Farm Bureau Federation President Wayne F. Pryor. “Federal regulations shouldn’t be a game of ‘gotcha,’ and landowners should have fair warning about what activities are regulated and what landscape features are protected.”

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers finalized a rule in June 2015 that significantly expanded the definition of “waters of the United States,” also known as “navigable waters,” under the Clean Water Act. The 2015 WOTUS rule attempted to clarify the distinction between state and federal waterways. However, the rule failed to achieve its goal of regulatory certainty and allowed EPA and the Corps to regulate activities on dry land and over remote, isolated wetlands under the Clean Water Act. That resulted in 31 states, agricultural and business groups challenging it in court.

In 2018, the agencies proposed a new Clean Water rule that would put in place a WOTUS definition that preserves states’ authority over local land and water use. That new proposal recognized that waters that don’t fall under the WOTUS definition are still protected by state and local laws as well as federal statutes.

“Virginia’s farmers want to preserve the natural resources on our farms for our children, and for their children,” Pryor said. “The commonwealth recognizes about 1,500 farms that have been in the same family for more than 100 years. We want to leave something of inherent and lasting value. Moreover, we want to leave behind more than a business; we want to leave a legacy.

That legacy includes clean water, and we look forward to a solution that is workable for our farms and our communities.”

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall emphasized that farmers and ranchers share the goal of protecting the U.S. water supply, “but the 2015 Waters of the United States rule was unreasonable and unworkable. It made conservation more difficult and created huge liabilities for farmers.”

Duvall added that Farm Bureau’s multi-year effort to raise awareness of the overreaching provisions of WOTUS was powered by thousands of grassroots members who joined together to defeat the regulation.

Mike Webert, a Fauquier farmer and delegate for the 18th District, weighed in on the decision.

“Farming is a hard business — the volatility from mother nature, the markets, and burdensome regulations are part of the constant challenges we face. As a legislator, I have fought for common-sense conservation, like fully funding our Agricultural Best Management Practices and funding effective, state-based programs that help farmers.”

Webert elaborated. “WOTUS was not about water quality. It was about power - power in the hands of Washington bureaucrats over farmers, states and landowners. The last thing we need is a Washington bureaucratic rule enforced by fiat. Let’s provide certainty and clean up the Bay by fully funding our current programs,” he emphasized.

VFBF members were among those who wrote letters to the EPA protesting the rule, and some even traveled to Washington for the recent announcement. Powhatan County Farm Bureau president Max Timberlake was one of them.

“I wanted to be there to represent the many farmers who helped make a difference in the repeal of WOTUS,” he said. “I believe it was Farm Bureau’s grassroots influence that made a significant difference.”

Timberlake, a hay crop farmer, said he was concerned that if WOTUS hadn’t been repealed, it would have caused significant trouble for farmers. “EPA wanted to manage every mud puddle, and that was what was so overreaching about the regulation.”

FALCONS TRENDING UP AFTER SLOW START

FHS volleyball beats Liberty, threatens Millbrook

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Solid starts often establish the tone for the remainder of an athletic contest.

Host Fauquier jumped out to a two-sets-to-one lead last Thursday over Liberty. The early margin led to a 25-11, 25-13, 21-25, 25-20 victory in their first meeting of the season.

Fauquier’s Diana Story praised the strong start. “That’s key. We played well. We did a lot on what we have been focusing on. Everybody

got quality time,” Story said.

Fauquier’s subpar early record of 4-9 can be explained by a difficult schedule and a transitional lineup, but things may be turning as chemistry improves.

“They have played together for a while by now,” noted Story, whose team is 2-2 in the Northwestern District.

Stephanie Robson and Skyler Furr paced Falcon hitters with eight kills apiece. Emma Carter added six, Meredith Scott four, and Keyaria Jasper and Alyssa Robson posted three each. Furr also accounted for

Kettle Run rules again in district golf, Fauquier’s Leazer repeats as medalist

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Kettle Run Cougars won their third consecutive Class 4 Northwestern District golf tournament title Monday behind the round of 72 by Reece Massei.

They beat runner-up Fauquier 320-334 at Fauquier Springs Country Club, but the Falcons still earned a Class 4 Region C berth with Kettle Run, which qualified as regular season champs.

Nathan Lilly earned a rare region berth for sixth-place Liberty (374) by shooting 77.

Fauquier’s Bryce Leazer shot 69 and was the individual medalist for the third year in a row. Teammate Nate Winebarger shot 84, Drew Howser 86 and Cory Burke 94.

For Kettle Run, Colin Doyle shot 82, with Trevor Berg and Ben Gray both at 83. Liberty’s Jacob McCoy shot 91, Julia Gleason 96 and Emily Markley 110.

five assisted blocks.

Kate Wilvet (17) and Carter (12) were the leaders in digs, with Addie Blas handing out 17 assists. Wilbert also recorded there service aces.

For Liberty, Megan Schram turned in a bountiful all-around night. She contributed six aces, 11 kills and 16 digs. Kaci Henrich added five aces, Sydney Marek seven kills. Madison Daniel 29 digs. Setters Madi Billick and Christina Sloan posted 14 and 13 assists, respectively Fauquier also was quick out of the gate two days earlier at preseason favorite Millbrook, taking the opening set 25-23.

But the Pioneers recovered to claim the next three sets, 25-11, 25-15, 25-11 and remain unbeaten in the district.

“We scared them,” Story said, laughing. “In the first set, they played carefree. Then we won, and they began thinking we just beat Millbrook. So what do we do now?

They started thinking and that took them out of the game.”

Stephanie Robson (11 kills), Furr (seven) and Olivia Eisele (four) were the top hitters. Dani Lawson had 15 assists, and Robson led with 13 digs.

Fauquier hosts county rival Kettle Run Thursday at 7 p.m. Junior varsity and freshman play at 6.

This was supposed to be a transition year, but also a successful one.

Instead the Kettle Run Cougars are 0-3 in football and hoping their first win comes Friday at James Wood (2-1).

Things went south early in last week’s 55-27 loss to powerful Millbrook.

“We aren’t going to change the score of tonight’s game so we need to move forward,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said.

Now comes James Wood, which is trending up this year.

The Colonels are 2-1 after dominating Warren County 63-35 last week in the second largest scoring performance in program history.

Kettle Run is 2-0 lifetime vs.

Wood, winning 41-14 in 2018 and 47-26 in 2017.

A disastrous opening quarter saw Kettle Run fall behind 21-0 in the first quarter and 41-7 at the half as motivated Millbrook avenged two losses to the Cougars last year.

“Every game we are finding pieces. Hopefully next week we can get them all in the right spots and get a win,” Porterfield said. “There were some bright spots tonight.”

Brandon Strickland led the Cougars with 139 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 22, while Elijah Chumley had 80 yards passing and Jacob Robinson caught six passes for 53 yards.

Kettle Run outscored Millbrook 20-7 over the final 10 minutes last week.

Kettle Run field hockey edges Fauquier in 2nd shootout, 3-2

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

With many evenly-played field hockey matches going into overtime, a team needs a player to call on in those situations.

For Kettle Run last week, Jessica Wood was doubly clutch at crunch time.

The junior recorded a pair of goals in shootout sessions in a 3-2 win over Fauquier on Sept. 17.

“That was a thriller,” said Kettle Run’s Beth Todd.

Todd said Wood was remarkably cool when it mattered most. “She’s phenomenal. She’s really good at staying calm,” said Todd.

Wood acknowledged the pressure weighing on the players as the game reaches a crucible stage.

“A lot of the shootout gets into your head,” said Wood. “It’s hard to keep yourself calm to go out there and do what you need to do.”

Regulation ended 0-0 after 60 minutes of regulation and 15 more of overtime.

The shootout featured five one-on-one duels with the goalkeeper with the attacker beginning at the 25yard line and having 10 seconds to get the ball into the goal.

Each team scored twice in the first session to force a sudden victory shootout.

Neither scored on first tries, bringing Wood to the 25. She took little time before sending a scorching hit into the center of the goal for the Northwestern District win.

While thrilling, both coaches found areas requiring improvement. Todd credited her defense’s continued good play, yet she cited the need to be more efficient with the ball.

“We controlled the midfield hands down,” she

stated. “We didn’t penetrate the circle effectively, and we should have. That was the biggest thing.”

Fauquier’s Brooke Settle felt the Falcons should have placed more pressure on the Cougars.

“I thought we allowed them to take the offensive role, and we played defense,” Settle said. “I was a little unhappy with that.

“You can’t play defensive-minded. You’ve got bring the ball and attack.”

Fauquier took a 1-0 lead in the first shootout when opening shooter Lucy Arnold hit the right post, then recovered the rebound and scored.

Kettle Run immediately retaliated on a Maddie Powers goal. She originally did not score, but an official ruled she had been fouled by the goalie during the try. Powers nailed the ensuing penalty stroke into the lower right corner.

Both teams drew blanks on their next tries before third shooter Jamie Renzi gave the Falcons a 2-1 edge.

Cougar goalie Alyssa Space blocked two shots before Renzi gained control and moved to her left, sending a reverse stick shot through Space’s legs into the cage.

On Kettle Run’s fourth try, Wood evened the score on her first long-range drive.

Fauquier came up empty on its fifth attempt, bringing Maddie White as the final attacker of the round.

Falcon goalie Zoe Savage stripped the ball early in the try. White recovered and sent a trickling reverse stick shot goalward.

The ball slowly rolled across the goalie for the apparent winning score, but following lengthy conversation the two officials ruled time had expired before the ball entered the cage.

HEY, HERE COME THE FALCONS Two-game winning streak is Fauquier’s longest since 2015

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

The facts are starting to speak for themselves.

After losing 13 in a row, the Falcons finally won a football game on Sept. 6.

Then, after a bye week, Fauquier won again on Sept. 20, marking the first two-game winning streak since 2015 when they beat Brentsville and Manassas Park late in the year and finished 5-5.

The Falcons didn’t just win last week. They won in true upset fashion, edging Heritage 14-13

thanks to Kyle Dargis’ blocked extra point kick with just over a minute to play.

Now they’re 2-1 for the first time since 2015, and flying high headed into Saturday’s road game at Handley (3-0).

“Haven’t felt this in a while. It means a lot,” said senior running back Nick Shadyac. “Our chemistry is 10 times better than it ever was since I’ve been at this school. Everyone gets along and nobody turns on each other like last year.”

Said Dargis: “Coach Buck came in here and said the one thing we were going to do is change. So this is

Fauquier hasn’t been 3-1 since 2012.

Handley is 3-0 with wins over Skyline 60-25, Harrisonburg 31-13 and Warren County 48-0.

If Fauquier finishes above .500 for the first time since 2012, its defense will likely lead the way. Heritage’s offense amassed only seven points over the first 45 minutes, never leading in the game.

“We earned this win,” Buckwalter said. “It wasn’t a fluke thing. We

were shutting them down the whole game.”

Fauquier finally showed some defensive weakness during the final 3 minutes of the game, allowing a 68-yard touchdown drive. Alexander Kovacs narrowed Heritage’s deficit to 14-13 with a 1-run touchdown run after quarterback Brandon Lofton completed 4 of 5 passes on the drive for 65 yards.

But Dargis slipped between a pair of Heritage linemen, leapt into the backfield and blocked the potential tying kick by Justin Rodriguez.

Red-hot Eagles lead district after downing Kettle Run 3-0

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Liberty’s Katie Norman did not cast an incantation at halftime, yet her words unleashed a powerful response to start the second half.

Host Liberty and Kettle Run met last Thursday for early field hockey leadership in the Northwestern District. The squads scratched and clawed to a 0-0 deadlock at intermission.

When the second half began, the Eagles reacted as if they had imbibed a Hogwarts magic potion.

The home team required just 98 seconds to take the lead for good.

“Usually they are laughing and goofy before a game, but they were very serious tonight.”

LIBERTY COACH KATIE NORMAN

The Eagles struck quickly for two additional goals in the next five minutes to post a 3-0 win and claim sole league leadership. The Eagles are 8-0. Kettle Run is 5-3.

“Usually they are laughing and

goofy before a game, but they were very serious tonight,” Norman said.

“Every county rivalry has its the pressure. We know they are a really solid team, so we knew what we were coming up against,” she added.

“But I think they did a good job of recovering after halftime and doing what we needed to do.”

Jordan Cabanban opened the scoring from the top of the circle off a Gretchen Thomas assist to culminate a penalty corner.

Abby Keller continued her recent scoring tear two minutes later, scoring off an assist by Daphne Daymude.

Daymude capped the scoring when Emma Miller sent a hard pass in from the top of the circle. Daymude controlled and rocketed a shot in from 10 yards out.

“That was hard way to start the second half,” Kettle Run Beth Todd lamented. “Those minutes can determine the whole game, and tonight they did.”

Norman said the explosion was the result of quicker play, which is Liberty’s preferred style.

“They were waiting for a set up, and they don’t need to set up,” the coach said of the interruptions in flow. “Just go with it.”

The game was winding down, but Fauquier didn’t quit

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

It appeared the Fauquier field hockey team was going to lose for the second consecutive day.

The squad trailed Potomac Falls 2-0 and the game was nearly over.

But the Falcons didn’t quit, turning the tide with two late goals following two late timeouts, then prevailing in overtime, 3-2.

“They absolutely were not executing,” coach Brooke Settle said, chal-

lenging her unit to recall recent practices. “We don’t come here to work on things we’re not going to do in a game.”

Settle was particularly upset the team had not run a specific play.

“The mean Settle came out,” Settle said the next day, able to smile. “I said ‘You’re going to go out there to run this play right now to start implementing what we had done in practice.”’

After senior Jamie Renzi scored to cut the score to 2-1, Settle again called timeout three minutes later, urging the team to maintain pressure

and force penalty corners, hoping to use a new play.

Fauquier got its chance, and Renzi struck again off an Abby McCusker assist with only 40 seconds on the clock.

The Falcons lost the day before to Kettle Run in a shootout, so Settle knew her girls were nearing exhaustion.

She told them she would run in fresh legs every two minutes or so.

Approximately nine minutes into overtime, the substitution pattern had sophomore Stefanie Fisher and freshman Jackie Timberlake as forwards.

“I had younger players up front, but they had the energy and the momentum,” Settle said.

Fisher received a pass, penetrated the circle and found Timberlake open at the left post for the game-winner.

It also was her first career goal.

“That is the first time I felt they had heart and passion. We’ve kind of been missing that link,” Settle said.

“They have the skill, but they hadn’t put the heart into it yet.

“They realized how much that game meant.”

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The Liberty girls cross country team was fourth of 15 teams Saturday in the second tier Patriot Division at the Fork Union Invitational with 128 points.

Albemarle (59 points), Spotswood (87) and The Covenant School (109) constituted the top three schools in the race.

Alaina Marek paced the Eagles, taking fourth in the field of 143 runners. She finished in 21 minutes, 44.4 seconds over the 5,000-meter course.

Physical training one-on-one Train Time takes a personal approach to health and fitness

By Coy Ferrell

Contributing Writer

Matt Finnerty does not match the stock-image version of the personal trainer. He is not big or burly, and certainly does not resemble the stereotypical “fitness bro.”

He wears a white linen shirt, cuffed jeans and plain, laceless shoes. His white hair is pulled back into a ponytail. He looks more likely to be a meditation guru than a personal trainer, and this is not entirely inaccurate. “Meditation is the highest form of exercise. Next comes really good yoga.

And I love my tai chi,” he says. A quote from the Dalai Lama hangs inside the studio. On the wall, there is a portrait of martial arts guru Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido.

“I view myself as a teacher more than I do as a whip-cracker,” Finnerty says.

However, he is more than capable of whipping his clients into shape, even if his style of instruction is focused more on encouragement than intimidation.

His first career was as an Army officer, serving ultimately as a captain. The Army is where he first spent substantial time in the gym – Army gyms are “where you stay out of trouble,” he says – and also how he first took on a formal role in training others.

“I did a master fitness instructor course back when I was in Germany, probably a first lieutenant, and then I was always the PT (physical training) guy. Wherever I went: ‘he’s the PT guy!’”

He speaks with a military precision about fitness, excitedly breaking down each element of a particular muscle group or exercise regimen.

During training sessions, he is calm and measured with his clients, always positive and uplifting. A set of repetitions of an exercise ends with Finnerty giving the client a hearty “thank you, sir!”

“There’s never been a negative word spoken in here,” he says, “ever.” To him, personal training is just that: personal. He knows the backstory of

each of his clients. Each training session begins with an interview.

“You can always find your mission statement by talking to the client, in the beginning and almost every day, you know, ‘cause I love having a mission.”

“I say: ‘Ma’am or sir, how’s your body?’ They say: ‘I’m good’ and I’m like: ‘That’s not going to cut it. What’d you eat this morning? What did you eat this afternoon? Remember that tweak you had in your neck three weeks ago? Where is that?’”

He demonstrates a simple pushup routine. “Stick your chest out real hard. BOOM! The moment you do that, that muscle’s ready to go!” His enthusiasm is contagious. It’s difficult not to feel you’ve accomplished something meaningful, and that he’s as invested in his clients almost as they are in themselves.

Mike Mouganis has been training with Finnerty since Train Time opened. He is a competitive water skier, skiing better times in middle age than he did in his twenties. Without his training regimen, he says, “I simply couldn’t do it.”

Finnerty knows his story by heart: “Typically, he’d hurt his back every summer, and you can’t ski if you can’t get out of the water. We’ve been able to condition all of those really important body parts so it’s not nearly the strain it used to be. A season of skiing doesn’t beat him up anymore. … I’m really proud of my guys.”

Mouganis’ business and training partner, Greg Rayburn, has a similar story. “I thought my knees were gone four years ago, five years ago.” He thought he might not be able to work out at all.

“No longer a problem!” Finnerty proudly interjects.

Even as a teenager, Finnerty had an eye on helping others attain their fitness goals. He created a weight-training regimen for his grandfather, who was then 72 years old.

“Couple of dumbbells in the backyard. I was in - maybe a junior in high school, and 20 years

Train Time owner Matt Finnerty exudes a calm and casual ambiance. His workouts can be strenuous but they are tailored to each client to bring out the best results for mind and body.

Sporting a Georgetown basketball jersey, Martin Brown works through some yoga positions at Train Time.

Finnerty founded Train Time in 2013 after a long career that has taken him from the military to Capitol Hill to almost three decades as a full-time fitness instructor. Train Time is an appointmentonly personal-training studio. Along with Finnerty, instructors Martin Brown and Lisa Long make up the training staff. The studio is located in the old railroad grain depot at 75 South Third Street in Warrenton, near the Warrenton Greenway. Reach Finnerty at 540-359-5121 later my grandfather could still do more than he could that first day. He had improved, not gone downhill where you think you are going. … He’s doing those pushups until 95.”

After he left the military in the late 80s, Finnerty went to Washington, D.C., and worked for the White House, determined to start a career in politics. Through his contacts in Washington he quickly built up an informal network of movers and shakers who sought out his personal fitness instruction. After a couple of years, he realized fitness instruction was his real niche.

“And so, I started washing windows at Capitol Hill Squash and Fitness,” he says, “and it just blew up from there.”

“I wound up being the only personal trainer at the Rayburn [House Office] Building at the members-only gym. It was me and 20 congressmen down there. … you build on it, and I was able to call my own shots after a while.”

Train Time is the culmination of Finnerty calling his own shots. His clients come from all walks of life: single mothers and high-powered businessmen, teenagers and seniors. It’s important to him that he gets to know each potential client to make sure they are a good fit for his style, and that both client and instructor have the same expectations. “[My older clients] aren’t supposed to run until they drop. And the young ones - I spend a lot of time getting kids ready for ROTC or maybe becoming a commissioned army officer, so they have to pass a certain number of tests. Those guys I’m going to push to the nth degree. And the grown-ups, they’re going to get their fill, too. But it will be over time.”

Ultimately, he says, his training philosophy is “focused on your body and what you want to do, and I can show you exactly how to get there in the safest way.”

Owner/Agent

Piedmont Fine Properties: Thriving by putting the customer first Piedmont Fine Properties is owned by a Warrenton couple who love their community.

Chip and Becky Miller graduated from Fauquier High School in 1993 but it wasn’t until a 10-year class reunion that they connected, started dating and eventually got married.

Chip Miller Becky and Chip Miller of Piedmont Fine Properties excel at was working helping clients find their ideal home. for a real estate agency in Washington, D.C. Becky Miller said between his commute and her responsibilities showing houses at night, they never saw each other.

“I told him, ‘Come work with me,’” Becky Miller said. And he did.

They worked for a large real estate company for several years but decided to go out on their own in 2015.

“It was always our dream,” Miller said. “We’ve been so blessed.”

Miller said their success is largely because of their focus on their clients and being part of the Warrenton community.

“We are passionate about what we do,” she said. “We really are customer-service driven. We always put the client in front of what’s best for us.”

Miller said she got advice years ago from someone she respected in real estate: if the client gets the feeling you are only thinking about the commission you will earn, it will turn them off.

“You need to always care about the outcome that’s best for them,” she said.

Miller said their clients know they understand the community.

“I’m not coming from Alexandria and wanting to sell you a house in Warrenton. I’m part of this community and I speak from the heart,” she said. “We know the market.”

Testimonials from Piedmont Fine Properties’ website bear this out.

“You always made us feel like priority clients, and were always more than willing to show us new listings, reshow a listing, or bear with our laundry ‘wish list’ of what we wanted in a home. Your professionalism and enthusiasm shined through each time, which made the entire process fun and easy,” wrote one client.

“Both Becky and Chip Miller are a true pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with a large number of real estate professionals over the past 20 years (both commercial and residential) and the Millers are one of the best. They are very intelligent and experienced professionals who will give you straight answers. I was impressed by their negotiating skills as well as their general organization throughout our relationship. I give them my full recommendation,” wrote another.

Another aspect of Piedmont Fine Properties is property management.

They manage more than 250 properties in the region; it accounts for about half of their business.

“We have a great team and would love to grow that, especially here in Warrenton,” Miller said. “We work mostly with the landlords, but our three property managers are always trying to make it a win-win and make it right for both sides.”

Piedmont Fine Properties is located at 25 S. Fourth, St., Suite 200, Warrenton. For more information, visit www.piedmontfineproperty.com.

Highland School grads earn placement at top universities

Are You Ready?

Highland Graduates are Ready Recent Highland graduates have gone on to attend the most selective colleges and universities in the United States: Harvard • Yale • Princeton • Stanford • Dartmouth

Cornell • Brown • Columbia • Duke • Georgetown University of Virginia • Swarthmore • William & Mary Middlebury • Davidson • Carnegie-Mellon Wake Forest • Washington & Lee • Colgate • Bowdoin University of North Carolina • Virginia Tech University of Richmond • James Madison University and many others!

Schedule a tour today at www.highlandschool.org/ready or call Donna Tomlinson at 540-878-2740

are.you.ready.times.half.indd 1

The most common feedback Highland School receives from its alumni is, “I was so much better prepared for college than my peers.”

Highland School is an independent school in Warrenton, educating students from pre-K through 12th grade.

In recent years, Highland students have been accepted to many top universities, including Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Boston University, Georgetown, Wake Forest, William & Mary, University of Virginia, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and many more.

Head of School Hank Berg believes the most important fact is not that his students get admitted to these world-class schools, but that they thrive once they attend.

“We focus on helping each student find the right fit – whether that’s an Ivy or a large public university or a small regional college,” he said.

“Our students are drawn to challenge, and they thrive on it because our program gives them the support and experience to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities,” Berg said.

“Highland did a phenomenal job providing an extraordinary academic platform off which I could build. I achieved an A in my advanced literature class due to writing skills fostered at Highland,” said Rich Gerhardt, a 2016 graduate and a senior at Wake Forest.

“Highland prepared me to be an adult,” Gerhardt said. “Through the service commitments and extracurriculars Highland encourages, I learned to manage my time effectively and to work with different types of people in different environments. I was prepared for the heightened level of maturity college life requires.”

Highland School offers 18 AP courses. Three Highland teachers are AP readers and have knowledge of the critical thinking skills these courses and tests require.

According to AP calculus teacher and AP reader Mimi Corcoran, “The critical thinking skills required to score 4s and 5s on AP exams are those also required for success at the nation’s top universities. AP courses are taught in a different way than a regular math class. Students must learn how to solve problems, not just memorize formulas. These critical thinking skills transfer to every other subject they take, to the essays they must write for college applications, and especially to the live interviews that elite universities require.”

Not only are Highland students challenged academically, but they are required to complete 60 hours of community service during their high school years. This experience, and the global perspective and empathy they gain, appeal to universities.

“Colleges today want to recruit well-rounded students,” said Highland Director of College Counseling Renee Norden. “They want young people who have a passion for a cause or an activity and seek to use their academic abilities and studies to solve problems, help others, and make the world a better place. Highland’s challenging academics and service learning makes our students the ideal academic recruits.”

Project-based learning is an element of college programs now, and the top universities are seeking students with documented experience and abilities in this area. “At Highland, group work and presentations were always a major part of my classes. Student-run clubs also gave me an opportunity to practice leadership on projects, particularly when I was captain of the robotics team,” said 2015 Highland grad Gordon Wallace.

“Highland’s emphasis on leadership and project-based learning made me better prepared than most of my peers to take on the project-based engineering curriculum at Boston University.”

Clevengers Corner Cat Cottage relieves kitty stress

Going to the vet can be stressful for some animals. Dr. Betty Myers, one of four full-time veterinarians at Clevengers Corner Veterinary Care in Amissville, said cats feel the anxiety more than most.

That’s why the clinic recently opened the Cat Cottage.

Dr. Michael Watts opened his veterinary practice at the corner of U.S. 211 and Va. 229 in a small house in 2002.

In 2013, “We went from two exam rooms with no office space to five exam rooms and a really large space for surgery and dental,” said Myers. There is a laboratory, laser therapy area, isolation space, and room for X-rays, ultrasound, a pharmacy, and even acupuncture for pets.

Myers said that in order to make the clinic more hospitable to cats, CCVC has converted the original clinic into the Cat Cottage, which is open two mornings a week.

“We are trying to create a different atmosphere there. Cats are not small dogs; they need to be treated differently. Cats are much more sensitive to stress than dogs. They are much more sensitive to their environment. They can hear an ultrasound if you have one running,” Myers said.

The staff is limited in the Cat Cottage, so the cats get to know each caretaker, which also helps to relieve stress.

“Cats get to know our people so the cats can learn the Cat Cottage is a fun place to go; there are toys and treats and music,” she said.

“We are figuring out their personalities and what is the best way to handle them,” Myers said.

“We really try to tailor what we recommend and what we do for every animal that comes through the door, so it suits the animal, the animal’s lifestyle and what works for the family,” she said.

Myers emphasized, “We are a full-service small animal clinic.”

The clinic clientele reaches beyond just cats and dogs. Its veterinarians also treat rabbits and small critters like hamsters and gerbils and reptiles.

Myers said that the practice’s stable full-time staff is unique.

“When people bring their animals in, they see the same people over and over again,” she said. “It’s the consistency that is very special CCVC veterinarian Dr. Betty Myers and here.”

Beyond a book store Literary arts for all ages at The Open Book Opened in March of this year, The Open Book in Old Town Warrenton has already become for many one of their favorite places on Main Street. The bookstore fills the needs of avid readers, curious browsers, and those who enjoy attending special events. Evidenced by The Open Book’s popularity and success, the literary arts are appreciated in Fauquier County.

The vision of the three owners of the bookstore, Cammie Fuller, Chris Granger, and Rachel Sirene has become a reality with more than 7,000 titles displayed in decorative ways throughout the store. The colorful hard- and soft-back books adorn the shelves artistically with titles both familiar as well as new.

Among the adorable children’s books is “Bruno the Standing Cat”

by Nadine Robert and illustrated by Jean Jullien. Nearby is “Ellie, Engineer: The Next Level” by Jackson Pearce. JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter The Complete Series” is front and center near the entrance, and around the corner stands Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

“The Lost Art of Handwriting” by Brenna Jordan is in the middle of the store barely visible amongst the many books. Titles not on the shelves may be special ordered.

In addition to offering what seems to be a whole world of books, events are popular and there is something for every age at The Open Book.

Children’s storytime is every Tuesday and Friday at 11 a.m. full of stories, songs, and games. Pajama storytime takes place every Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Children love being read to and as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was known to say, “There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.”

School Age Book Clubs take place at The Open Book from 5 to 6 p.m.

Elementary students meet on first Tuesdays as the ‘Warrenton Mice Book Club”.

On Oct. 1, “Crumbled: The Misadventures of Nobbin Swill” by Lisa Harkrader will be discussed by students in first through fifth grades.

Book clubs for middle schoolers meet on the second Tuesday of the month, and high school students attend on fourth Tuesdays. Adult Book Club is on the third Wednesdays of the month from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The next new book for adults will be discussed on Oct. 16 – “Labyrinth of the Spirits” by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

“I was delighted when I learned about the adult book club,” said

THE ARTS LADY

DEBRA SMYERS Warrenton resident Anita Sherman who came to the first one when they discussed Kim Michelle Richardson’s “The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek.” “It’s so stimulating to discuss titles that you might not otherwise pick up...many from Indie Booksellers Choice Awards…this bookstore is a true gift to the community.”

Classes take place for writers of all genres on the third Tuesday of every month at The Open Book.

The evening lineups include tips on specific writing topics, discussions, writing prompts, sharing, and critique time.

Upcoming Book Talks are by Erin Clabough, author of “Second Nature: How Parents Can Use Neuroscience to Help Kids Develop Empathy, Creativity, and Self Control” on Friday, Sept. 27 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and by Kara Arundel, author of “Raising America’s Zoo” on Oct. 19 from 11 a.m. to noon.

A “Bookish Costume Contest” will take place on Thursday Oct. 31 to celebrate Halloween from 4 to 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to come dressed as their favorite book character.

Co-owner Granger enthusiastically remarked, “We are well received here. Warrenton is definitely a literary community with lots of active readers and writers.”

The Open Book is located at 104 Main Street, Warrenton and is open 7 days a week. Weekday hours begin at 10 a.m. and close at 6 p.m. except for Friday nights with extended hours until 9 p.m. Saturdays The Open Book welcomes customers from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

Wesley Chapel UMC celebrates 175 years September is more than half over; nights are chilly and fall flowers are in full bloom. Thank goodness the grass will not need to be mowed many more times.

The Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church celebration was a very special event last week. Hats off to the planning committee who made everything perfect, even the weather. The morning service was a combination of old and new: hymns that were sung in 1844, remarks by several former pastors, an explanation of the community mission of Wesley Chapel UMC, and a moving message by the Rev. Mickle, district superintendent.

Visitors enjoyed a nice luncheon outside following the morning service. It was our pleasure to be seated next to Mrs. Eva Richardson, Sherry Hume’s mother, who shared some interesting moments about her long life.

We are sad to announce the passing of Linda Lyons, our former neighbor in Orlean. Linda and her husband, Jack, were support members of the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department and maintained a strong interest in OVFRD even after they moved to Rappahannock County. Linda loved and enjoyed her “furry family” members; the most recent addition to the family was a rescue Newfoundland.

She and Jack also had a special place in their hearts for a series of wonderful cats.

The Lyons were special neighbors who never failed to provide holiday treats for some of us who live alone.

Please hold their family close in your heart as we remember a neighbor and friend.

If you purchase or renew an annual membership before the end of the month, you get two additional months free!

Check it out at 800 Waterloo Road.

A heads up that the Town of Warrenton will be conducting its biannual flushing of water lines to clear any sediment in the lines and inspect the fire hydrants, Sept. 30 through Oct. 30 from 5 to 11 p.m. If there is any rusty discoloration in your water, you can run your cold water until it clears; it usually takes between two and seven minutes. If you continue to have problems, call Larry Oliver (540-347-1858).

Surprise! Her immediate reaction was to escort a rather large, lazy yellow cat from his crate to pursue the small rodent. No luck.

Kitty was not interested. At that point, her German shepherd decided to join the fun. Both animals were now on full alert. Mr. Mouse made a run for it and managed to escape. Needless to say, no cereal was eaten for breakfast that day.

I.S.A. Certified Arborist Tree Decline

Share Your Loved one’S StorY Let us help you place a memorial or obituary.

Call 540-351-1664

The decline of mature trees is typically caused by a combination of factors. The first is usually long term stress caused by drought, improper soil conditions, construction damage to the root system, or mechanical damage to the trunk. These types of problems force the tree to divert energy away from storage or growth toward overcoming the stress. Then a shorter term, more acute problem develops. It may be a defoliating or boring insects, canker disease, root rot, or severe root damage.

A healthy plant can usually overcome these acute problems without severe damage.

However, for a plant that has been defending itself against a chronic problem, any of these factors can accelerate decline. The tree, already low on reserves, must increase energy use to defend against the new problem. This takes energy away from the maintenance of chlorophyll in the leaves and the rejuvenation of the fine root system.

If conditions are not greatly improved at this point, the tree eventually dies. The period of decline may be short or long depending on the tree species, location and factors involved with the decline. Generally, if a tree has more than 35% to 50% crown dieback as a result of any number of stress factors; it cannot be saved, just prolonged.

An accurate diagnosis of factors involved in the decline is the first step toward treatment.

Programs that increase root growth are usually very beneficial, however, even with the best care, trees that have greater than 35% to 50% dieback may not respond to treatment.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Fundraiser planned for Kaleb Leigh Staff Reports

Christa Lilek, who works as an interior decorator for Style Savvy Designs, is volunteering her time for an upcoming fundraiser to support the Leigh family. Their son Kaleb is battling cancer. Kaleb was originally diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 6 and went through 2 1/2 years of treatment. He relapsed at age 9 and went through treatment again. Eleven months after Kaleb finished treatment, his younger brother Noah was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.

Kettle Run’s varsity football team will host an event Oct. 4 to benefit Kaleb, a Kettle Run student. The event will also raise awareness of childhood cancer. The raffle will open at 6 p.m., a field ceremony will be held at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff of the football game against Liberty High School is at 7 p.m.

“Please come out and enjoy a night of football while showing support for this amazing kid,” said Lilek. “We

will have some really great prizes that will be raffled to raise money and help offset the devastating financial burden this has caused for the Leigh Family.” Bring cash or checks to the event … raffle tickets will be $5 per ticket or $20 for five tickets.

Raffle prizes include a senior portrait session (value $500), gift card tree, Old Bust Head Brewery gift certificate, sports memorabilia and more.

“Our amazing community came together for this family and helped raise a ton of money for Noah for his protocol treatment that came from Europe. Recently we all learned the devastating news that Kaleb has relapsed and is battling cancer for the third time. As you can imagine, the emotional and financial toll this has on the family is enormous. Let’s show Kaleb, Noah and the rest of the Leigh family how much this community is backing them and loves them. We have some great raffle items planned for that night and want to raise a ton of money for the Leigh’s as well as raise awareness for Childhood Cancer,” urged Lilek. Together we can all show the Leigh family that we BeLeighve!”

Anyone who cannot attend the event but wishes to make a donation may contact Randi at KylesKamp.Randi@gmail.com.

Anna Louise Atchley-Burns Anna Louise Atchley-Burns, age 70, of Broad Run, VA passed on Sunday September 15th, 2019 in Broad Run. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

Ralph A. Mauller, Sr. Ralph A. Mauller, Sr. passed away at the age of 96 on Saturday, September 21 at his farm in Nokesville, VA. He was born in St. Louis, MO on August 10, 1923 to Gustav and Stella Mauller.

After high school, Ralph attended Central Methodist College, University of Missouri, and Indiana University where he majored in mathematics and physics. When WWII began, Lieutenant Ralph Mauller served aboard the USS Ozark in the South Pacific and the USS William P. Biddle as well as being stationed in Washington, D.C. Using his love of math and engineering, Ralph began teaching at an extension school of University of Virginia. After years of effort, the school transitioned into George Mason College, (later University) with Ralph as one of its founders. He served as the head of the Math Department and the first Business Manager.

In the business world, Ralph worked with defense contractors at Melpar in Seven Corners, VA and ANSER in Bailey’s Crossroads, VA. He started RAMAL, a research, analysis, management, and logistics corporation. He also worked with Eby and Walker Realty. Before retiring he returned to teaching mathematics once more at Foxcroft School in Middleburg, VA. Ralph’s love of politics made him an avid supporter of the national, state, and local Republican Party. He was proud of his election to the Prince William Board of Supervisors in the 1970s. He served on the State Library Board.

Involved in his community, Ralph attended Nokesville United Methodist Church for 59 years serving on the administrative board and as a Sunday School teacher and youth director. He volunteered at Nokesville Elementary School as a tutor for first graders. Watching his family in school activities as they grew up was a highlight of his life. He supported the PTA and Band Boosters for many years. Because of his love of horses, Ralph rode with the Bull Run Hunt Club for many years.

As the family grew up, they had the experience of living in three houses that were built or remodeled by Ralph. In addition, he helped each of his children remodel a house.

Ralph was married for 70 years to his childhood sweetheart, the late Marjorie Mauller. He is survived by his children, Ralph Mauller (Terry), Barbara Mauller, and Debra Apperson (Michael) and his grandchildren, Lindsay Mauller and Kelly Looman (Chris). In addition, he is survived by his siblings Darlene Kellison and Harold Mauller and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, G.A., Lee, and William.

A visitation time with the family will be held on Sunday, September 29 from 2-3 p.m. followed at 3 p.m. with a Service of Death and Resurrection at Nokesville United Methodist Church, 12550 Aden Road, Nokesville, VA with military honors.

Simple and Complex Estates MONUMENTALLY ENDURING Families who have strong links with one another, who are faithful to the traditions of their kinfolk, and who live in relatively close proximity may want to consider providing a “mausoleum” for their descendants. These buildings, which house the remains of one or more deceased persons, have their precedence in the architecturally stunning Taj Mahal and Egypt’s Great Pyramids.

Naturally, the size and style of this type of above-ground entombment varies in accordance with personal preferences. One advantage of a mausoleum is that it reduces the amount of land that is used for a burial, making it more ecologically friendly than an underground burial. In addition, because a mausoleum is a building, it can shelter visitors from inclement weather.

One of the key advantages of mausoleums is that they are considered to be a cleaner and dryer option than a traditional underground burial. This option will appeal to people who do not want to be cremated or buried underground. Mausoleums are fairly common and many cemeteries provide single, companion, or family configurations.

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.
