School Board agrees to buy land next to middle school Purchase paves way for expansion of Cedar Lee to accommodate 250-plus more students By Robin Earl
Times staff writer
At a school board meeting Monday night, Sept. 9, board members unanimously approved a resolution to purchase an acre and a half of land adjacent to Cedar Lee Middle School for $312,500. June H. Grimes is listed as the seller of the property at 11132 Marsh Road in Bealeton.
David Graham, executive director for administration and planning, said that the purchase would make it possible to expand the footprint of Cedar Lee without having to alter the back of the school. Tennis courts and ball fields are located there and would be expensive to relocate, Graham said. He said another benefit of acquiring the land at the front of the school is the opportunity to expand the bus loop, which he said is cramped and
unsafe. He added that currently there is no place for parents to park to quickly pick up or drop off their children. “If we did nothing else but fix the bus loop, that would be worth it,” he said. There is currently a house on the property slated for purchase. Graham said he could not say whether or not the school division would make use of that building. See SCHOOL BOARD, page 6
After 27 years at Waterloo Station, Rankin’s Furniture will close showroom Order-by-catalog model to replace high-overhead store By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
“The little man is being squeezed out and people don’t seem to know what’s h a p p e n i n g ,” said James Rankin, who’s cutting overhead costs by JAMES RANKIN closing the Rankin’s Furniture showroom at 360 Waterloo St. in favor of an order-by-catalog model. A small furniture showroom area will be opened at his Rankin’s Hardware, 251 W. Lee Highway, in the Warrenton Village Center. Merchandise in stock has been discounted by 25 percent in anticipation of the closing of the Waterloo space within the next two months. Rankin formerly owned the Waterloo Station Shopping Center where the store has been for the past 27 years. The shopping center’s current owners are Andrea and Amber Ferrer, who operate Café Torino there. None of the furniture store’s six

Central Sports Complex should be complete by next fall Funding formula has changed since groundbreaking; federal grant no longer a factor By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
The future Central Sports Complex at the corner of Meetze Road and Old Auburn Road is beginning to take shape. With a little imagination and a generous dose of forward thinking, one can visualize where the six rectangular fields and five diamond fields will sit. During a tour of the construction site Friday, Sept. 6, Parks and Rec Director Gary Rzepecki said that fields should be playable by the fall of 2020. INSIDE Business.............................................13 Classified............................................34 Communities......................................30 Faith...................................................28
The overall project consists of six rectangular multi-use fields for sports such as soccer and lacrosse, a large diamond field and four small diamond fields, an umpire field house, a main building, an equestrian path and parking. A skating rink is planned for a future phase of the project. The fields will serve a variety of youth and adult field sports teams, including baseball, football, lacrosse and soccer. S.W.

An earlier timeline for the fields projected that at least four fields would be playable by the end of August of this year. That ambitious plan was put in place so the county could qualify for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant of $1.3 million.

Parks and Rec Dog’s Day Pool Party offers fun in the sun for canine crowd
Stryder took his time making a foray into the water. He felt a lot better when he could stand up.
The Larry Weeks Community Pool at Vint Hill held its annual Dog’s Day Pool Party Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. Just before the pool is emptied and cleaned before winter, the filters are turned off and dogs from around the county are invited for a swim. In the first hour, about 60 happy, excited dogs arrived to play. It was a beautiful day, and the dogs swam, socialized and played fetch to their hearts’ content.
With a few short-lived exceptions, all the dogs displayed good social skills and played nice with one another.

Broad Run Estates would trade higher density for preserving Ringwood Farm New Baltimore development will go before planning commission Sept. 19 By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
If allowed to rezone to greater density for 166 homes at Broad Run Church and Riley roads in New Baltimore, a developer would put the 73-acre Ringwood Farm in conservation easement with no construction except three homes. Lakeside Homes LLC, managed by Devin Finan, is seeking a change in zoning from R-1 to R-4 for his Broad Run Estates residential development. The application will be the subject of a public hearing by the Fauquier County Planning Commission at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The commission could act on the rezoning that night or put off making a recommendation to the board of supervisors for approval or not. If allowed by supervisors, four single detached homes could be built per acre rather than the current one per acre allowed by right. The property is on the southwest corner of the intersection of Broad Run Church Road and Riley Road. The rezoning would place 166
homes on a site where 100 homes have been approved, said Chuck Floyd, a manager with Piedmont Land Consulting of Warrenton. By not building on 62 lots at Ringwood Farm as allowed by right, a waterline would not have to be extended across Rogues Road to Ringwood, which lies outside the New Baltimore Service District. A total of 34 acres of trees could also remain. Ringwood Farm is currently approved for 42 homes. Residents near the proposed development site heard Floyd outline the rezoning request at a community meeting at the Inn at Vint Hill on Sept. 4. “This is your community. You do what you think is in your best interests,” Floyd said in response to a question from the audience of about 15 people. “Too many people, too many homes” was the opinion expressed by Joyce Kaminski of Riley Road after the presentation. “I like Fauquier rural. That’s why we bought here.” “I’d rather see nothing built” was the view of another attendee, who didn’t want to give his name. “I was kind of interested in what they’re doing. I’m under the impression it can grow by right. The devel-
opment seems basically reasonable,” said Henry Tarring of Hummingbird Lane. He said the preservation of Ringwood Farm wasn’t of importance to him. Tarring said he has about a 1,000-foot shared boundary with the proposed development area. “I think moving the development from Ringwood to Broad Run Estates is best. She lives on Ringwood Road and prefers that her area not be developed further. “Ringwood Road is not designed for traffic,” she said. She said she has

about an acre of property. Supervisor Holder Trumbo of the Scott District, which includes the project area, listened to the presentation and questions from the audience posed during it. “For me to support something there’s got to be something to impel me” to do so, Trumbo said. “I get a lot of guidance from people providing feedback.” The supervisors will hold their own public hearing before voting, once they receive a recommendation from the planning commission. “This is a decision the county makes. It’s a land use decision. We’re trying to do what we think is right,” Floyd told the audience. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Funding formula has changed since groundbreaking; federal grant no longer a factor COMPLEX, from page 1 grant money through the same program gave Fauquier County officials pause. He added, “We began to talk to folks in other counties. Fairfax County is still waiting to receive funds a year later” after completion of a project. “That gave us grave concern” – that along with a requirement that the stated purpose for taking the money – for athletic fields – continue “in perpetuity” without change. “At the end of the day we did not take the grant” that was to come from the federal government through the state, McCulla said. Instead, the board of supervisors authorized the county administration to borrow the money. Rzepecki said his understanding is that the county was able to borrow the additional funds without adding to the debt service. The project budget is $13,188,491 paid for with debt funding, plus
$4,421,366 in county and grant funds. The Virginia Department of Transportation is a grant funding source. Erin Kozanecki, the county’s director of management and budget, explained, “The project budget has not changed … The county was able to use the proceeds from the bond (debt) issuance to offset the $1.3 million LWCF grant (which is a stand-alone federal act through the National Park Service). “This does not impact the expected annual debt service payment … market conditions are such that the bond issued at a premium providing additional proceeds. This occurs when investors are looking for less risky options in the market and will pay a premium for the more conservative investment option.” She said that the VDOT grant is a state funding program, titled recreational access, which has no federal dollars tied to it. It provides an additional $425,000 in grant funding for the project.
Parks and Rec Director Gary Rzepecki points to where one of the five diamond fields is being built.

VDOT workers construct the deceleration lane on Meetze Road Friday.
Construction progress so far
Vertical posts for one of the smaller diamond fields’ backstop are in place and roofs have been placed on two dugouts. Six inches of topsoil will go on top of the leveled field and after that, sod will be installed. Rzepecki said that water trucks will have to be brought in to water the sod once it’s in place. On Friday, construction crews were laying pavement for the large parking lot just to the left of the Meetze Road entrance road, located between one of the rectangular fields and one of the diamonds. Work is progressing simultaneously on some of the other fields. “This area was very hilly. It all had to be cut down and leveled,” Rzepecki said. “Most of the cut and fill operation is completed, approximately 400,000 cubic yards of dirt was moved. About 10,000 cubic yards of dirt is still left to move, besides the topsoil, which has to go back down,” he said. The northbound deceleration lane on Meetze Road was also being worked on Friday. Rzepecki said that some Verizon power lines on the complex side
of Meetze – in front of Moriah Farms -- would be moved to the other side of the road once permits were finalized, leaving room to widen the entrance and add landscaping. “It would have been better if we could have gotten that done before now, but permits take a while,” said Rzepecki. VDOT is responsible for the construction on Meetze Road and for the part of the entrance road that leads to the first parking lot. The road will continue around the fields and lead out to a back entrance on Old Auburn Road. Rzepecki said that entrance road, which runs adjacent to the Fauquier County Fairgrounds, will be closed most of the time; it can be opened for special events. A recently completed retaining wall that defines the edge of the complex can be seen by looking across the pond at the Fairgrounds. Work started Monday, Sept. 9 on trails between the fields and from the park entrance. Restrooms will not be completed in this first phase of the construction, but are in the plans for the future, said Rzepecki.

closed to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. when school is in session.” The trail will wind through an “environmentally rich area,” said Rzepecki. He said that M.M. Pierce Principal Laura Hoover is excited about the educational opportunities the trail will provide for students.

Family would like Remington Council agrees to clean up eyesore on Franklin Street exception to offer shortBy Robin Earl term rental in Hume Times Staff Writer Staff Reports The owners of Silverback Ranch, a 6,500 square foot, four-bedroom, 3 ½-bath log home in Hume, want to offer it to short-term renters and are seeking a special exception from Fauquier County to do so. The county planning commission will hold a public hearing and consider the request at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 19 in the first-floor meeting room of the Warren Green Building at 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The commission will make a recommendation to the board of supervisors, though that action won’t necessarily come at the Sept. 19 meeting. Drew and Kelly Smith explain in their application that their primary residence is in Pennsylvania and that they use Silverback as a second home. “We would like to begin offering the house as a short-term rental to offset our maintenance costs and to introduce tourists and newcomers to beautiful Fauquier County,” the Smiths say in their application. Multiple wineries, Marriott Ranch, Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail are nearby, they note. The house can accommodate eight people in the four bedrooms and another two on a pullout couch in the basement. The house is suitable for family gatherings, the Smiths say. “If approved, we plan to offer the home for short-term rentals with a two-night minimum stay and we anticipate no more than four unique bookings per month,” they say. A half-mile road from a gate leads to the house, which is on 27 acres. The home is surrounded by 143 acres of wooded land that belongs to a family member. A local manager will oversee the rental operation, according to the applicants. The planning commission will hold a public hearing during the same meeting on a rezoning request for Broad Run Estates in New Baltimore. The commission will also be considering a preliminary plat amendment for the Cunningham Farm subdivision. The Cunningham property was to hold 156 single-family detached homes, according to a preliminary plat approved in 2014. Since then the property has changed hands and is owned by Old Salem Community Development II, a Van Metre subdivision. The original parcel was divided into two parcels, with one for open space and the other for a proposed 158-single family detached unit development instead of the original 156. The properties are adjacent to Grove Lane and Clifton Street in the Marshall District. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
The Remington Town Council decided Friday night during an emergency meeting to take action on a dilapidated building at 200 Franklin St., just a block from Main Street. Judge Jeffrey Parker ruled on Aug. 30 that the town may take steps to clean up and secure the home. Costs for the work will be presented to property owner Brian Feiffer through Total Holdings Group, LLC. If Feiffer does not reimburse the town within 30 days, a lien will be placed on the property, according to the order. Town council members voted unanimously to have a contractor clean up the outside of the property, secure doors and first-floor windows against trespassers and vandals and remove two dead trees. Councilman Van Loving was tasked with speaking with Frank C. Poland, Inc. of Bealeton about doing the work. Loving reported that Poland had said informally that he could complete the clean-up work for $75 an hour. Loving said he thought the job could be done in fewer than 10 hours. Mayor Gerald Billingsley and the four council members present – Evan Ashby, Loving, Devada Allison Jr. and Susan Tiffany – expressed frustration at the longtime eyesore and Feiffer’s lack of responsiveness. A petition submitted Jan. 22 to the Fauquier County Circuit Court by Remington Town Attorney Andrea Erard read, “The town has attempted to abate or obviate the condition of the property by notifying Total Holdings Group, LLC and requesting that the condition of the property be addressed. The town sent a written notice by certified mail to Total Holdings Group, LLC, 10030 Willow Ridge Way, Spotsylvania, Virginia 22553 on October 2, 2018 and this notice was received because the return receipt was provided to the town. A second written notice was sent by certified mail to the registered agent for Total Holdings Group, LLC, Amber Feiffer, at 11202 Spring Meadow Blvd, Fredericksburg, Virginia 22407 on November 27, 2018; this notice was never signed for and the letter was returned. A third written notice was sent by certified mail to Total Holdings Group, LLC at 10030 Willow Ridge Way on Jan. 4, 2019.” The petition continues, “The condition of the property deteriorates on a daily basis and it is possible that the structure is being vandalized. The property is a nuisance and poses a health and safety danger to the public.” Tiffany, who lives across the street from 200 Franklin St., said that workers had been seen cleaning up the outside of the property Sept. 4 and 5. She expressed concern that the debris – dusty and possibly containing material that was unsafe to breathe in -- was not being handled safely. She said she recommended to the clean-up crew that they might want to wear particulate masks while working there. All members of the council were adamant that the property be cleaned up quickly by professionals who were used to dealing with construction waste.
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL
This home at 200 Franklin St. in Remington, one block from Main Street, has been deteriorating for two years, according to town council members. Billingsley asked council members if they wanted to wait and see if Feiffer would clean up the house himself, since he seemingly had sent workers to start on it. Loving replied, “I think we have already waited five months too long.” Allison added, “I don’t think we can wait on him to do anything.” Allison was also concerned that the job be done safely. “If he hires people who are unqualified to do this work, it’s a health risk to them. We know the people we hire will be able to do the work safely.” Although the town’s original petition asked the Circuit Court to “order the immediate demolition and removal of any and all structures as well as all trash and debris located on the property,” Parker’s order did
not include language about demolition. It only addressed clean up and making the house secure. After the meeting, council members said that although the end goal for the property was restoration or demolition, clean up was the first step. Allison said, “the place should be condemned, but that’s not what the court order says.” Council agreed to have a contractor clean up all the debris around the outside of the house, cut weeds and grass down to a reasonable level, secure the first-floor windows with plywood and the doors with hasps and padlocks. They also agreed to look in to having two dead trees taken down. This last job “would require someone with a different skill set” than the other work, said Ashby.

Therapy dogs bring joy, reduce stress on Lord Fairfax campus By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
“Awesome” is how Siri Gisselquist of Broad Run described a visit from Duncan, a chocolate Labrador, who Amy Fuentes brought to the Lord Fairfax Community College campus in Warrenton to mingle with students and staff last week. Her sister Lisa said “I really like it. If nothing else, it’s 30 seconds of pure joy instead of stressing over homework. It’s a fun break.” The sisters have two dogs and nine rabbits at home. They were eating lunch at a table in the student center when Duncan and Fuentes stopped at their table. Fuentes led him from table to table so that anyone who wanted to could pet him. She also took him to the library and the main lobby, where he rolled over at one point so that he could get a belly scratch from a passerby. Therapy dogs are brought to the campus by volunteer handlers several times each month. The idea is to brighten the day of the people the dogs visit and relieve stress. It’s an initiative of the college’s student life office. “Duncan really likes interacting with people,” said Fuentes, who’s also taken Duncan for visits to Warrenton firefighters at their station. “It’s great to see people smile and I can’t help but smile myself when I see him with them.” Duncan went through behavioral training so that he would obey commands and not jump or bark at people, nip them or grab food during visits. Fuentes is a member of the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, a nonprofit that tests and certifies therapy dogs for people in hospitals, hospice care,

The training to be a therapy dog doesn’t involve learning tricks, but Fuentes is training Duncan to close doors behind him at home. At 80 pounds, Duncan is a big dog, so he isn’t taken to nursing homes. “He’s so big he wouldn’t be allowed on a bed,” Fuentes said.
Amy Fuentes and her chocolate Labrador Duncan stopped by the library during their visit to Lord Fairfax Community College on Aug. 28 to let students and staff pet him. Fuentes learned about the opportunity to bring Duncan to the college through someone she knows who works there. Duncan, 3 and a half years old, is always on a leash held by Fuentes when she takes him to the college monthly. He wears a vest that says “Therapy Dog, Pet Me.” “My payment is seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they see and pet Duncan,” she said. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
Purchase paves way for expansion of Cedar Lee to accommodate 200-plus more students SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1
Phase one
A $10 million expansion of Cedar Lee Middle School was agreed to at an April 9 school board meeting, as the first step in a multi-phase middle school reconfiguration that will tally $40 million and take four to five years to complete. The cost estimates are based on an analysis from six months ago, so the eventual price tags will probably be higher, said Graham. Expansion of Cedar Lee Middle School is needed to accommodate another 250 or more students, said Graham, most of whom will be rezoned from elsewhere in the county. The project’s conceptual plan outlined the expected sequence of events: property adjacent to Cedar Lee will be purchased; there will be a geotechnical study; a plan will be devised that will include 10 to 12 classrooms, a second gym and possibly an expanded kitchen and office areas. School Superintendent David Jeck said that the school board will address a request for proposals for the Cedar Lee construction at its Sept. 23 work session. Plans outlined in April stated that the RFP will remain in circulation for a month; design will take 9 to 12 months, and construction, 18 to 24
months. Looking at the county-wide middle school picture, the steps in the project will include: 1. Cedar Lee Middle School expansion by approximately 250 seats. 2. A Warrenton-located middle school renovation and potential expansion, with the repurposing of either Warrenton Middle or Taylor Middle, at an estimated cost of $30 million. (Again, by the time construction begins, the cost will probably be higher.) 3. Consolidation of some school division or community services at the repurposed facility. The school board has long debated how to accommodate its middle school students -- currently numbering more than 2,500 county-wide -- given the advanced age of Warrenton and Taylor middle schools in Warrenton. School board member Brian Gorg (Center District) said Monday night that the most common questions he fields are about the middle school project. He suggested that the board provide an update to the public soon. “This is a good first step,” he said, referring to the land purchase. “It’s pretty important to our moving forward with this.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

GOP campaign office opens on Second Street in Warrenton By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Republican candidates celebrated the opening of a campaign office in downtown Warrenton that will be the center of campaign activity during the run-up to the Nov. 5 election. The Fauquier County Republican Committee rented space at 20 S. Second St. to help support Republicans on the ticket. A grand opening was held Friday evening to coincide with the First Friday celebration up the street in Old Town. “Our work is cut out for us,” said Greg Schumacher, chairman of the county’s Republican committee in addressing an audience gathered in front of the headquarters. The Democratic Party is “quite motivated” to beat Republicans on the ballot in this election, he said.
“They have an alternate vision of the future that puts what we value in jeopardy,” he said. That vision includes socialistic polices that would “completely turn around” the nation, Schumacher said. Such a prospect “scares the hell out of me.” He said Republicans value liberty, justice, opportunity, limited government, budget constraints, a strong national defense, and faith in God – values set out in the Virginia Republican Creed. He said all the Republicans on the ballot share their values. “Let’s hear a cheer,” said a voice from the audience outside the headquarters at and a cheer rose up. Volunteers set out early Saturday to begin canvassing – going door to door to talk to people about voting for Republican candidates. “We’re going to have fun,” promised
Andrew Loposser, campaign manager for Del. Michael Webert (R-18th). Webert, a four-term incumbent from Marshall, faces Democratic challenger Laura Galante, also of Marshall, in the Nov. 5 election for the 18th District seat. Webert was at the opening of the headquarters, as were Mark Cole, delegate for the 88th District who faces Democrat Jessica Foster; D.J. Jordan, seeking to unseat Democrat incumbent Elizabeth Guzman in the 31st District; Fauquier school board candidates Suzanne Sloane, Susan Pauling and Stephanie Litter-Reber; 27th District State Sen. Jill Vogel; Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook; county treasurer Tanya Wilcox; Lee District Supervisor Chris Butler; Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo; Commissioner of Revenue candidate Eric Maybach; and Warrenton Town Council member Sean Polster. All but Polster are on the ballot in November. (His term isn’t up.) Hook, Wilcox, Butler and Trumbo are unopposed. Vogel is being challenged by Democratic candidate Ronnie Ross. Maybach is running against Angela Smith, an independent.

Jordan, Mark Cole, Holder Trumbo, Michael Webert and his oldest son, Scott Hook, Eric Maybach, Chris Butler and Sean Polster, from left back row.
Jordan said during an interview outside the headquarters that he believes he will do well in Fauquier County. “They have voted overwhelming Republican in the past. I think a lot of people have concerns about a Democratic-controlled government,” Jordan said, noting that Democrats currently hold the three top positions in Virginia’s state government — governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general. Voters “want a Republican state legislature” as a balance, Jordan said.
The Republicans hold slim majorities in both the House of Delegates and state Senate. The Republicans hold the Senate 20 to 19 and the House 51 to 48. There is a vacancy in each chamber. Jordan worked as a staff member in the U.S. Congress, was a journalist for CNN and Fox News, and worked in public relations. Jordan said development is an issue of concern among voters. Small-business owners are concerned about efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. “Right to work is an issue. They don’t want a unionized state. And they are concerned about regulations and taxes,” Jordan said. “They want government to keep off them. “A lot of farmers are contemplating transitioning to agribusiness and are wondering what that means for them,” he said of efforts to branch out into other areas to remain profitable. Jordan said he’s visited businesses in Fauquier such as Golden Rule Builders and Smith-Midland, both in Catlett, and he said that Suzanne Sloane has taken him to Vint Hill to meet people there. The 31st District includes New Baltimore, Vint Hill, Nokesville, Midland and Catlett in Fauquier as well as a section of Prince William County. The Republican campaign headquarters is stocked with yard signs, bumper stickers, lapel pins, T-shirts and hats. It also has information about the various Republican candidates, how to vote and how to volunteer. The campaign office is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday. The phone number is 540347-3041. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
Ex-Marine John Lesinski joins three other Democrats in 5th District race By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
John Lesinski of Rappahannock County says that he has attributes that distinguish him from three fellow Democrats running for the 5th District seat in Congress: leadership skills, a business background and the ability to get results working with Republicans. The election isn’t until 2020, but on Sept. 5 Lesinski joined Roger Dean Huffstetler, Kim Daugherty and Cameron Webb as announced Democratic candidates. The seat is held by Republican Denver Riggleman, a freshman legislator elected last year. The 5th District is vast, covering all or part of 21 counties and the cities of Charlottesville and Danville. It includes part of Fauquier County. Lesinski’s four-year term on the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors ends in December. Before that he was chairman of the Rappahannock County School Board for four years. He’s a member of Virginia Veterans Services Foundation, which supports veterans and their families, and the Virginia Board of
Veterans Services. He served in the Marine Corps for four years and for 22 years in the reserves. “Public service is in my DNA. It’s been a big part of my life,” said Lesinski. “We really do need to get the right people into office in order to make a change, make a difference.” As the only Democrat on the board of supervisors, he’s had to work with four Republicans who hold the majority. “I’ve had to work across the aisle to get things done,” Lesinski said. Rappahannock County has much in common with the 5th District as a whole, he noted. “Rappahannock County is a major Republican District and that translates to much of the 5th District. And it’s predominately rural,” Lesinski said. “We need leadership. I got my leadership skills from the Marine Corps. You have to earn the respect of those you lead. I’ve got that leadership dynamic,” he said. “I’m the only businessman running. I understand the day-to-day challenges of being profitable,” Lesinski said. He’s been a real estate broker since 1985.

He now works for Colliers International, brokering deals involving industrial and manufacturing buildings. Huffstetler attended Harvard Business School and previously led
a technology startup. Daugherty is a lawyer and Webb is a physician. Lesinski listed infrastructure improvements as a key issue he would address – not just roads and bridges, but broadband. See 5TH DISTRICT, page 9

Rankin’s Furniture to close after 27 years RANKIN’S, from page 1 sales and delivery employees will lose their jobs, Rankin said. And though he’s 88, Rankin said “oh yeah, sure” when asked if he’ll continue working in the business. He was sitting at a desk at the furniture store wearing a red shirt and necktie on Friday. The hardware store will be managed by his daughter, Alice Kniceley, who’s a sales associate at the furniture store. Her brother, Glenn, managed the hardware store until his death this August. Rankin said customers who have heard about the store’s closing understand why. “Brick and mortar stores are going out of business. We’re taxpayers, not the big businesses that government uses tax dollars to bring in,” Rankin said, referring to tax incentives. “There’s just too much overhead. I’m paying $50,000 a year on insurance here. That’s a big cost, plus everyday operating expenses. Taxes and insurance have gone crazy,” Rankin said. And, he says, buying habits have changed. “When we had three stores, we did the triple the business. People can’t buy quality furniture for less money,” Rankin said. Kniceley said she knows some people come into the furniture store to check prices and then order else-

Rankin has an appliance and furniture store in a shopping center in Colonial Beach that he owns. Some of the items from the Warrenton store could go there. He also has a furniture store in King George. Rankin’s Hardware store in Warrenton will keep going. “There’s no way I’m going out of the hardware business,” Rankin said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Thank you for the articles on the opioid crisis In early September 1983, Tara Edwards, 9, of Warrenton, was photographed with tomatoes grown in the garden of her grandfather, Clarence Edwards Sr. at his home in the Lakeway subdivision near Warrenton. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Edwards.
FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago September 14, 1944 After 70 days as a German prisoner of war, Staff Sgt. Vernon C. Hunt, son of the Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Hunt of The Plains, arrived at his home in Belvoir last week with a story that cannot be told until after victory. A radio operator on a B-17 that was shot down over German territory on D-Day, he was reported missing until his parents received word that he was safe with Yugoslav Gen. Mihailovich’s forces. When American forces landed in France on Aug. 15, they found a former Fauquier woman, Miss Isabel Townsend Pell, who after four years with the French underground is now assisting the Allied forces in the organization of both resistance and rehabilitation work. Miss Pell is the daughter of Mrs. Isabel Cotton Smith of Warrenton and the late Osgood Pell. 50 Years Ago September 11, 1969 He came to play golf, but instead Benny Harris of Warrenton was pressed into service helping to load boxes onto one of three U. S. Army helicopters that landed Saturday near the Warrenton Country Club clubhouse at Opal. The boxes contained emergency supplies destined for Nelson County’s flood disaster area following Hurricane Camille. The Fauquier Bank hopes to start construction soon after Jan. 1 on its new home on the lot adjoining the Warrenton Library on Courthouse Square. What disposition will be made of the present main bank
building on Court Street has not been determined, according to John W. Lainhart, vice president and cashier. James I. Schwartz of Matthews-Schwartz Inc., a Bethesda, Maryland development firm, came before the planning commission last Wednesday seeking an opinion on a plan to subdivide into 320 lots of five acres each a 2,000-acre tract of steep, wooded slopes south of Paris. No specific action was taken on the proposal. 25 Years Ago September 14, 1994 After a marathon public hearing Saturday, Prince William’s planners put off a vote on the Disney’s America project until Sept. 21. Speaker after speaker, 150 in all, filed to the podium to address the Planning Commission in a hearing that appeared about evenly divided between supporters and opponents of the history theme park near Haymarket. Robin Earl, a veteran community newspaper reporter and editor, joined the Times-Democrat’s editorial staff as its assignment editor. Laura Ruby, formerly the paper’s police and town reporter, rejoined the staff as business editor. “We’re excited about these two top-notch journalists joining our staff,” said executive editor Lou Hatter. Liberty freshman Jennifer Modliszewski placed ninth Saturday in the Judges’ Classic Cross-Country Invitational at Winchester’s John Handley High School. –Compiled by John T. Toler
In December of 2015, when Caroline Folker and Moira Satre (of Come as You Are) and I formed a support group for families affected by drug addiction that came to be known as FODA (Families Overcoming Drug Addiction), the 30 or so people who regularly attended our monthly meetings at Fauquier Hospital expressed one alarming thing in common: “When this problem hit in our family we had no idea where to turn for help, or for information or for treatment. We felt desperate, fearful and alone.” Fauquier County, like so much of the country, was woefully unprepared, suffering a sort of assistance vacuum.
The excellent and comprehensive articles on the opioid crises you’ve run have been a godsend. Things have changed. As noted in your article (Aug. 28, page 7 “Where to get help”) listing the impressive array of local help now available for families and individuals still affected by addiction … how that earlier vacuum has been filled with life giving breath! If your readers in need help or information have not seen this listing, I urge them to do so. The dragon is still out there. Hats off to the Times for these articles and your vital support in the past.
JO TARTT, JR. Warrenton
The right leader at the right time I’m sure many readers can vividly recall the days when we used rotary phones and most transactions, such as depositing a paycheck or paying bills were done with a piece of paper and a pen. Those days are no more. Nearly everything we do is done online or in “cyberspace.” So how does this concern us and influence who we elect? Think about the recent news concerning ransomware. These are cyber attacks that have shut down networks like those used by small towns and municipalities – think Bealeton or Fauquier County – or hospitals and schools, until a ransom is paid. Once it is successfully paid, the users are allowed access once again to vital networks. Recent examples include attacks on 22 municipalities in Texas, many of which were small local governments, several school districts in Louisiana, and the 2018 attack on the Ohio Hospital System which shutdown the emergency room operation of the Ohio Valley Medical Center. Forty-five percent of ransomware attacks target smaller town governments like ours because they lack the technological knowhow to protect themselves. Two smaller Florida municipalities, Riviera Beach and Lake City, paid out more than a combined
$1 million. It affects our pocketbooks and the services we receive. It costs our local government in resources and revenue. This is our frightening new reality and, like it or not, we are vulnerable. How can the right leadership make a difference as we move further into this new age? We need to elect leaders who understand the threat, can anticipate it, and know how to effectively deal with it. One such leader is Laura Galante here in the 18th District. Galante is an expert in cybersecurity who has overseen efforts to successfully identify and defend against threats in cyberspace both at home and abroad. There is so much more to say about Galante and her leadership. She is also knowledgeable on agricultural issues and wants to find new ways to support our local farms. She’ll work to improve our rural community through better healthcare, broadband accessibility, and education initiatives. We will hear more in the coming weeks, but please take the time to look at her website and see for yourself: galantefordelegate.com. She is truly the right leader for District 18 and our state, at the right time. KATHRYN KADILAK The Plains

Guest Column: Supervisors should reject lodge project As a founding member of the Fauquier Countryside Preservation Group, I would like to share my thoughts on the proposed Lodge at Barrel Oak project in Delaplane. This group, which includes Citizens for Fauquier County, Goose Creek Association, Mosby Heritage Area Association, Piedmont Environmental Council and neighbors near the project, was formed to oppose this 42-room hotel, restaurant and event operation because commercial operations should not be allowed in an area zoned rural/agricultural. This project is detrimental for many reasons. Let me begin with Fauquier County’s comprehensive plan and its focus on locating commercial activities in its eight service districts. Because our county leaders have been largely steadfast in adhering to this plan, 90 percent of our county is rural and this contributes to $180 million in economic activity and approximately 2,000 jobs related to tourism. Approving this project could lead to similar commercial businesses outside the service districts throughout the county, destroy our beautiful countryside,
and threaten a robust rural economy that benefits everyone who lives in Fauquier. Let’s turn to the project itself. Besides being in the wrong place, the application lacks so much information that the magnitude of the traffic, well water, and other adverse impacts are unclear. The scale of the operation is particularly vague as relates to the number of total outdoor and indoor events that would be held. And very little information has been submitted on the layout of the 32,000 square foot “lodge” and what the structure would look like other than a Photoshopped image of the existing home on the property, which would be expanded four-fold to house the hotel, restaurant and event center. I am particularly concerned about those who live near this growing tourism hub. The neighbors already have to deal with excessive traffic and noise from the many thousands who visit the adjacent Barrel Oak and neighboring Blue Valley wineries annually, and the thousands more who attend the many special events these wineries hold. The 78 annual special events (for up to 160 persons each) requested as part of the “lodge” project would almost double the number of
events being held. Approval of this project would make a bad situation worse. Back in June, Brian Roeder, the applicant for the “lodge” project and an owner of Barrel Oak Winery, held a public meeting attended by approximately 90 people, many of whom live near his winery. When he asked if they supported his project, approximately 90 percent said they were not in favor of it. Many spoke about the noise, traffic and viewshed impacts of the Barrel Oak Winery, and strongly opposed more tourism-related development near their homes. In closing, I would point to the Rural Lands Plan that the county recently adopted. It emphasizes that commercial uses should not be allowed in rural areas, and tourism-related facilities should not detract from the rural qualities of the areas where they are located. For all the reasons cited above, I believe the county should reject the “lodge” project.

Writer looking for a fresh approach
Mike Webert is working for veterans
In the July 31 edition of the Fauquier Times on page 3 a full page article on Suzanne Sloane appeared with a color photo included. She is the current school board chairman and is running for re-election this year. Her stated goal is to finish the job she started. As I read the article, I was concerned with some of her statements. For Ms. Sloane, meeting the behind-the-scenes staff in the administration offices has been eye-opening. “The amount of time they spend is impressive. They are really doing the hard work. They are excited about doing their best for the kids.” Really?? What does Ms. Sloane think the other employees in the schools are doing? The easy work of teaching? Taking papers home to grade daily? Aren’t the bus drivers, administrators, cafeteria workers and custodians doing their
I have known Del. Mike Webert (R-18th) for a number of years. He is Fauquier County conservative through and through, from his impassioned pro-life and second amendment legislation to his basic conservation. We know he works on our behalf by the sweat on his brow and the Fauquier dirt on his jeans. He is the real deal, a genuine farmer, and he cares about everyone, including my fellow veterans. I have had the honor of receiving three national awards for the work I’ve done and still do on behalf of veterans, whether in pursuit of their entrepreneurial quests or simply securing their proper and earned disability benefits. Mike Webert has been instrumental in getting the new General Lewis “Chesty” Puller Veterans Care Center built in Fauquier County. The 128-bed long-term care and rehabilitation facility is being built on 30 acres located on the former Vint Hill Farms Station, which previously served as a U.S. Army and National Security Agency facility. The Virginia Department of Veterans Services will operate this facility, and it will serve Virginia veterans in Prince William and those throughout the 18th District including Fauquier, Rappahannock and Warren counties. I’ve read that Mike’s opponent has raised the issue of veterans not having local services available. This is just not true. Veterans are served by nearby U.S Department of Veterans Affairs Community
best for the kids? Aren’t they interacting with students daily while those in the administration offices are doing desk work uptown? While Ms. Sloane lists some of her school board achievements and disappointments in the article, none of her stated goals are directly tied to improving the scores and educational opportunities of Fauquier County students. Completing a middle school, hiring security officers, and saving energy are fine, but educating and preparing students for college and the workforce would seem to be a key component that is lacking in Ms. Sloane’s approach. She is promising more of the same if she’s re-elected. A fresh approach to anything would have been nice.
KATHY BUTLER Midland
Support the re-election of Del. Webert As a resident of Fauquier County for the past 34 years, I strongly support candidates who care about agriculture, conservation, free speech, human life, low taxes and our second amendment rights. For the past six years, Michael Webert, who is a family farmer and small businessman, has championed those values. It is for these reasons I wholeheartedly support his re-election in the 18th District in the Virginia House of Delegates. The upcoming elections to the Virginia Legislature are critically important. Unless Michael Webert and his Republican colleagues are re-elected, we are likely to see a Virginia where abor-
tions occur on demand, there are serious restrictions on our second amendment rights, new draconian taxes on small businesses are approved, and there is a growing movement towards socialism. The stakes couldn’t be higher. We can retain our way of life and our rural values by voting for Michael Webert on Nov. 5. He is a proven leader with a track record of success on behalf of family farms, local law enforcement, our public schools, rural broadband and small businesses. Let’s keep this outstanding legislator working for us in Richmond!

Based Outpatient Clinics at Charlottesville, two in Fredericksburg, Fort Belvoir and Staunton or the Out-Patient Clinic at Stephens City or the Vet Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. We are geographically located in the center of three VA Medical Centers in Martinsburg, West Virginia; Washington, D.C.; and Richmond that support these clinics. These medical centers work in conjunction with and are manned by physicians in training from nearby medical colleges: Georgetown, UVA, VCU, WVU and GWU are only a few of the 118 medical colleges and universities that have an association with the VA. So frankly, Mr. Webert knows and understands the veterans’ needs, contrary to his opponent who only wants to get on a fabricated bandwagon regarding veterans’ issues. We have an expression, Vets Helping Vets. We do this every day at every DAV, VVA, VFW or American Legion Post: by vets for vets as stewards of veterans’ issues and their care. We do not whine “Poor me!” We just do. We understand that the easiest way to get on our feet is to get off our duff! Mike Webert knows us, and he knows that about us. He helps us when we are in need; we are now helping him dismiss false accusations leveled by his opponent. I hope you will join me in supporting Michael Webert on November 5!

Jay’s Brewing fueling craft beer ascendancy Manassas shop carries homebrewing essentials By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Shopping Center at 9790 Center St. in Manassas, has been selling the items necessary to fuel the rise of homebrewing: barley, hops, yeast and more. Jay’s is one of more than 800 such supply shops nationwide. It’s an industry craft beer lovers should be thankful for. The role these stores have played since the early 1980s has helped catapult the United States to the forefront of artisanal beer worldwide.
In 1980, there were 80 craft breweries in the United States. Today, more than 7,500 dot our sudsy landscape. Even small towns and villages often sport a wee brewhouse where locals gather to quaff artisan beer. There’s never been a better time to hoist flavorful brews that are the polar opposite of the watery libations that have dominated our domestic beer world for decades.

The soul of the shop is its extensive selection of barley and yeasts, which are the foundation of most beers. The “suds” couple lives in Manassas and have three young children, providing a challenge to running the small business. Jill Boman, like her husband, is knowledgeable and ever-ready with suggestions and advice. As a homebrewer delves deeper into the hobby, he or she is drawn to tinkering with recipes. At Jay’s, there are more than 350 recipes to choose from. With additional input from the owners, thousands of variations are possible. One group the store takes pride in supporting is “Downright Obsessed Homebrewers.” Created in 2006, the club has more than 50 members and is one of the most popular brewing clubs in the area. It also has members who are professional brewers. To join the club is to find yourself surrounded by beer talent, ready to offer camaraderie and advice on improving one’s brewskis. Visit www.dohnova.com
to learn more about this free “graduate school” of brewing. The draw of homebrewing is the creativity and satisfaction in making a delicious beer that can rival storebought products. “Wow! You made this beer?” is an often-heard expression when a homebrewer hands a buddy one of his latest creations. Newbies often start with simple kits that require minimal brewing knowledge. If you can bake brownies out of a box, you can create a flavorful beer. Especially under the guidance of the Bomans. In addition to the ingredients needed for brewing at home, the shop has an extensive equipment inventory that includes kettles, burners, fermenters, kegs, tubing, bottles, and more. If it’s related to homebrewing, it’s in the shop. The latest addition to the business is its newly minted ABC license that permits the sale of commercial craft beer. Can’t wait to drink that clone of your favorite IPA you’re about to make? Simply grab a six-pack along with the necessary ingredients and sip your role model while creating the real deal at home. Jay’s Brewing is open six days a week and closed on Sundays. Visit its digital store at www.jaysbrewing.com to learn more about the enjoyable world of homebrewing and home winemaking.

ELATION AT FALCON FIELD

Falcons rout Tigers 32-0 to end 13-game losing streak By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Why were two large bodies of people – one group in uniform and one in street clothes – running full speed at each other last Friday night at Falcon Field? It was a celebration almost two years in the making as Fauquier ended a 13-game losing streak with a 32-0 win over Brentsville, then blended with their fans in a crazy mass hug on the field. It was incredible to watch as the bodies blended together. No one was hurt. “It was the best moment of my life,” said running back Nick Shadyac, who said he led the charge when he saw The Zoo fan group running at them. “I was in front. All my friends, my family, my parents were there. I haven’t seen The Zoo this big since I was a freshman,” he said. It was the Falcons’ first win since they beat James Wood 38-8 in 2017. Fauquier lost its last two games in 2017, went 0-10 in 2018, and dropped their opener this year. In a unique
NEXT GAME
Sept. 20 at Heritage quirk, Friday’s win also put Fauquier at .500 all-time at 289-289-11. Dressed in their new unis with red pants and grey leggings, the Falcons (1-1) played a complete game in their home debut, hitting the reset button after a 31-0 loss to a strong Loudoun County squad in their Aug. 29 opener. While the offense wasn’t perfect, it was solid and even spectacular at times as Shadyac, Ky’lil Kiawu and quarterback James Diehl shared the ball well for some big plays. A small but shifty back, Shayac ran 17 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and caught a screen pass which he turned into a 48-yard TD. Kiawu emerged as another valuable weapon, breaking numerous tackles and flashing big play ability. He ran 14 times for 84 yards and had a 5-yard TD run. Diehl finished 8-of-9 for 178 yards and a TD. The junior looked like a confident leader and field general. Defensively the Falcons were even
more impressive. They held Brentsville to one first down in the first half, and did not permit the Tigers to get anywhere near the end zone. They intercepted two passes, including one Evan Jackson returned for a 35-yard TD. Hershel Rinker had the other interception. The Tigers (0-2), often aided by Fauquier’s conservative short squib kickoffs, began numerous possessions around their own 40, but could do nothing with that excellent field position. it was Fauquier’s first shutout since a 21-0 win over Brentsville in 2017. “It feels great. It’s great for the kids. You saw how excited they were,” said Buckwalter. “It’s great for the community, the school, the spirit. It’s nice when something comes together on a home night where everyone can enjoy it.” Buckwalter was confident The Zoo's mass hug with the players was immortalized on film. “We got two guys up there videotaping," Buckwalter said. "That was really good stuff, really exciting."
Liberty’s girls are showing signs of life. The Eagles’ girls cross country program has struggled recently, but 2019 is a new season. Liberty entered the second level small school division in Saturday’s Pole Green Cross Country Classic in Mechanicsville and took third in a 17-team field, the best finish for the LHS girls in a large meet in years. Freshman Alaina Marek was fifth out of 111 girls in 21 minutes, 48.1 seconds. Fellow freshman Maya Turner (13th, 22:13.3), Kayla Lopez (27th, 23:09.5) and Natalie Taylor (46th, 24:22.7) and junior Lily Wingo (48th, 24:24.2) rounded out the scorers. In the meet’s varsity A races, Fauquier’s girls were 11th of 19 teams and the boys 16th of 28. Liberty’s boys were 23rd. Falcon Lynsey Patterson was 50th in 21:15.5 ahead of Shelby Rosenberger (55th, 21:32.8) and Annie Del Gallo (66th, 22:01.2). Eva Del Gallo (70th, 22:05.4) and Olivia Merchant (76th, 22:18.5) were the other scorers. Fauquier’s Brian Bolles was 26th of 229 runners in 16:59.6. Other Falcons were John Paccassi (49th, 17:28.6), Stephen Hiner (92nd, 18:12.3), Michael Andrade (97th, 18:16.5) and Austin Fernandez (122nd). Liberty’s boys also competed in the A race, with Sam Rodman recording the top area finish in 20th (16:52.4). Connor Rogers (145th, 18:59.3), Matthew Anderson (147th, 19:00), Owen Rogers (165th, 19:17.0) and Evan Worley (192nd, 20:01.4) joined him. Kettle Run senior Jada Dudley was the leading Cougar in the Judges Classic at Kernstown Battlefield near Winchester, taking 15th out of 97 runners in 21:34.2. The KRS girls were 10th out of 14 scoring schools with 278 points. The Cougar boys were 11th.

Here come the Cougars Kettle Run volleyball is 5-3 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The Kettle Run volleyball won four of six matches last week to continue its solid start this fall. The Cougars traveled to the 12-team Rock Ridge Invitational last Saturday, compiling a 3-1 mark for the day after earning three wins in pool play. Coach Mike Howard was very pleased, calling the tournament “very successful for us this year because we improved on our finish from last year.” He noted the Cougars won the silver bracket in 2018 after losing the first two matches in pool play. “This year we won our pool and made it to the Gold Bracket,” he said. Kettle Run (5-3) fell only to power-
ful Battlefield in the event, and opened by beating host Rock Ridge on total points 49-47. Teams played only two sets in their pool play contests. Kettle Run beat Yorktown 49-47 and Montour, Pa., 25-21, 25-21. Kettle Run then advanced to the Gold Division to meet Battlefield in a best-of-three format. The Bobcats ended the Cougars’ run, 25-13 23-25, 15-9. “The girls played well and started to come together as a team, pulling off close and come-from-behind wins,” said Howard. “It is a great confidence booster to win that pool to be the No. 4 seed in the Gold Bracket.” The quartet of Mae Sutliff, Jordan Dixon, Cassidy Perino and Taylor Reinaldo amassed 39 kills in the nine sets.

Adjustments continue for rebuilding Falcons By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
For the perennially strong Fauquier volleyball program, the annual sojourn to the Albemarle Invitational last Saturday was more a training ground than a proving ground this year. The Falcons went 2-3 for sixth place in the solid eight-team field. They are 2-6 overall and host Tusca-

Kettle Run is off to a fine start in 2019. Kettle Run plays at Liberty Thursday. Sutliff combined for nine blocks to go with 47 digs from Kate Pohlmann, Erin Salzman, Perino and Reinaldo. Setters Lily McIntyre and Kayla Gillham handed out 43 assists.

Fauquier fell to a quick Class 6 Colonial Forge unit to open the day, 25-20, 13-15, 25-21, before logging its first win of the season versus King George, winning 25-23, 25-18, 13-25. Western Albemarle beat FHS 2515, 25-18, 20-25 to conclude pool play. In the consolation bracket, Fauquier took down Class 5 Mountain View, 18-25, 30-28, 15-11, to set up
the final match loss to Hedgesville, W.Va., 25-23, 25-15. “There are still points where we are learning the process, but when we were clicking, we were clicking,” Story said. “They are showing [positive] signs. They also are showing a lack of volleyball maturity where you have that honest and true trust in the person playing next to you.” Fauquier dropped its Northwestern District opener last Thursday at Sherando, falling in three straight sets.

COUGARS WANT A DO-OVER Critical mistakes haunt Kettle Run in 14-6 opening loss By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
A catastrophic 50 seconds in the third quarter cost the Kettle Run Cougars a chance to win their home opener Friday. Heritage’s defense capitalized, pouncing on mistakes to produce two touchdowns late in the third quarter to win 14-6 and ruin Week One for the disappointed Cougars (0-1). “We just didn’t play well,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said. “We shot ourselves in the foot over and over again, and we aren’t talented enough to win games when we do that.” The game hinged on a 44-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter. Heritage (1-1) blocked the kick by Kettle Run’s Andrew Piercy and returned it to the 27-yard line. The Cougars picked up a personal foul at the end of the play to move the Pride to the 12, where senior running back Alex Kovacs rushed for a touchdown on the following play. Justin Rodriquez added the winning extra point to give the Pride a 7-6 lead with 3 minutes, 8 seconds left in the third quarter. Heritage blocked a punt on Kettle Run’s next drive and returned it 25 yards for a TD with 2:18 left in the third. That gave Heritage a pair of TDs in only 50 seconds. Senior running back Darian Lambert was Ket-

Let’s party White’s goal lifts Cougars to OT field hockey win By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Maddie White made sure it ended with a riotous celebration. The Kettle Run field hockey team downed visiting Class 6 Battlefield Bobcats 2-1 on Sept. 5 thanks to White’s deciding goal with two minutes, nine seconds remaining in the 15-minute session. “It’s overtime which could end in a lot of different ways,” said coach Beth Todd. “But we had done such a good job of controlling the ball in the game. We just weren’t able to finish in front of the goal.” Kettle Run forced a penalty corner, with White converting a pass by Paige Proctor to spark an onfield party as the Cougars (3-1) won their third in a row. The Cougars almost saw the game slip away early in overtime when Battlefield slammed a shot from the top of the circle into the cage for the apparent win, but the lead official waved off the goal, ruling no offensive player had touched the ball in the circle. Kettle Run’s overall chemistry, anticipation and passing are solid so far. “They are starting to vibe,” Todd said. The Cougars constant chatter is evident at both
ends. Todd praises White’s role in the information flow after moving to the center defender slot this season. “She is a great talker,” Todd said. “To me it starts in the backfield with Maddie and moves forward. It’s a domino effect,” Todd said. The contest was scoreless until Kettle Run struck with 1:03 remaining in the first half. Kearns had a shot stopped before Samantha Malloy gained possession and fed Proctor for the score. Battlefield tied it nearly 14 minutes into the second half. Kettle Run entered the fray after scoring a 3-0 road win Sept. 3 at Osbourn Park. Jessica Wood, Maloney and Kearns scored, with Abby Smith and Sarah Horton providing assists.
JV wins, is 3-0

Falcon field hockey blanks Orange, 2-0 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
While sports fans love a home run or slam dunk, frequently it’s the little things that matter the most. That mantra worked for the Fauquier field hockey team, which returned to basics to jump start their season after an 0-2 start. Coach Brooke Settle’s primary focus recently was to elevate the practice intensity, especially the players’ need to conduct practices at game speed. The newfound intensity resulted in a 2-0 non-district win over the Class 5 Hornets. “I was impressed that they worked harder,” said Settle, who felt the final margin should have been much wider. The Falcons were the definite aggressors, dominating play until senior Jamie Renzi found the cage nine minutes, 37 seconds into the opening half. Orange made a rare push to Fauquier’s 25-yard line before the hosts took possession and launched a counter attack. Fellow senior forward Lucy Arnold sped up the right hash mark before finding Renzi for a 1-0 lead. The pair combined again 12 minutes later for the second tally. Settle thought the Falcons could have scored four or five more goals. Fauquier finished with a 13-1 advantage on penalty corners. “It’s not a lack of skill. We’re not making the smart choice in front of the goal,” Settle said. “We need to get into the right habits, and we’re going to get there.” There have been changes in positions by several players this year. “At the beginning of the season it takes some time to see how your team is going to mold. I think by next week, we’re going to have a good solid formation, hopefully with more aggressive play and more scoring opportunities,” Settle said. Fauquier also captured the junior varsity game, 2-0. Marjorie Davenport scored both goals off assists by Marissa Camarca and Ella Tedeschi. Fauquier hosts two Northwestern District foes this week in George Mason Wednesday and Culpeper on Thursday. Junior varsity play begins at 5:40 p.m. each night, followed by varsity games at 7.

Jump racing plays big role in Colonial Downs’ rebirth By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Sparked by enthusiastic participation from horsemen and racing fans, Colonial Downs returned after a sixyear hiatus to revitalize the horse racing community in Virginia. Colonial concluded a 15-day schedule on Saturday, Sept. 7, with five Virginia-bred stakes and more than $700,000 in purses. The inaugural Randy Rouse hurdle stake highlighted the evening’s card at the New Kent County facility. Operated by the Colonial Downs Group, a subsidiary of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, Colonial came back to life Aug. 8. The track was shuttered after the 2013 meet because negotiations between horsemen’s groups and the track’s former owners broke down. When historical horse racing passed the general assembly last year, increased off-track betting parlor revenue paved the way for the track’s new owners to renovate the facility and host the short “turf festival” style meet. Horsemen and horsemen’s representatives expressed cautious hope that the 2020 Colonial meet will be bigger. “This is a wonderful racecourse,” said Sean Clancy, beaming in the winner’s circle after Snowie Hill won the $50,000 Rouse handicap. “The turf is great, and the facility is outstanding.”
Clancy, based in Middleburg, manages the Riverdee racing syndicate that owns Snowie Hill. “Steeplechasing was a big part of the Colonial renewal,” said vice president of operations Jill Byrne. “Jump racing is part of the tradition of racing in Virginia, and we’re proud to host the jumpers every week.” The track carded two hurdle races every Saturday of the five-week meet, something steeplechase horsemen said worked well on the summer schedule with Wednesday and Thursday jump races at Saratoga. Colonial’s signature Grade 3, $250,000 Virginia Derby ran on the acclaimed turf course Aug. 31, won by Calumet Farm’s English Bee. The $150,000 Virginia Oaks was won by Carnival Colors, homebred in England by owner Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin Stud. “We’re proud of our outstanding race meeting and the overwhelming response from (horsemen) and national racing media who embraced the return of racing,” said Byrne. “The owners and trainers who participated in Colonial's meet (are) absolutely delighted with its outcome,” added Frank Petramalo, executive director of the Virginia Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association. “Purses were great, races were very competitive and track conditions were outstanding. We couldn't have asked for anything better, except maybe for a few more weeks of racing.”
Build a better topline Trainer Jan Snodgrass will conduct a clinic, “Build a Better Topline,” at her Lightheart Farm near Marshall this Saturday, Sept. 14. She will teach participants how to build and strengthen the muscles along a horse’s spine. Visit theexcellenthorse.com.
DRESSAGE, WESTERN STYLE
Train with Kenda Firkins Almeda Farm in Boyce hosts trainer Kenda Firkins for a western dressage clinic Sept. 14-15. Firkins will teach in-hand work, classroom discussion of the geometry of the movements and mounted sessions to learn free and working gaits. Visit almedafarm.com.
CLASSIC POLO
Breeder-trainer Hill Parker gives the 4-year-old a well-deserved shower after her convincing victory in the 2 1/4-mile hurdle headliner. Petramalo said the horsemen’s group hopes for expanded racing next summer. “That’s what we’ll be aiming for” in post-meet negotiations as the track eyes plans for 2020. Mike Stidham and Jamie Ness topped the trainers’ board with 10 wins apiece, with Ness topping the leader board in purses with $293,040. David A. Ross’s DARRS Inc. led the owners’ standings with five wins. Trevor McCarthy topped the rider table with 15 wins and $777,590. Colonial’s reopening is expected to generate $25 million annually in state tax revenues, $17 million in local tax revenues and $25 million to Virginia’s horse industry.

Wind beneath my wings Members of the Smith family gather to honor their past and celebrate the future The Smith family gathered Sunday to honor their grandparents and great-grandparents at Warrenton Cemetery. By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
The Warrenton Cemetery is home to thousands of gravesites. On Sunday afternoon, dozens of extended family members gathered around two in particular, to pay their respects and honor their long legacy in Fauquier County – more than 120 years of history. The day before, they had held a family reunion at the Warrenton Visitor Center. William A. Smith was born on June 2, 1858, and died on Independence Day, July 4, in 1937. Hattie V. Smith is buried next to him. She was born Jan. 2, 1861, just a few months before the Civil War broke out in April. She died Nov. 4, 1949. Their son, Willie Charles Smith of Warrenton, was born on Feb. 2, 1901, and died at age 61 on Sept. 26, 1962. His wife, Rita Mae Roy Smith of Manassas, was born June 2, 1905, and died Sept. 15, 2003, at age 98. Willie and Rita met in Warrenton at the horseshow grounds; Rita loved and rode horses. Their courtship led to marriage in 1926. With family at heart, they had 13 children of their own and raised their grandson Charles to make 14. As reported by one family member, baby Charles would come to visit and didn’t want to leave. He cried every day when he went home and had to be returned to Grandma and Granddaddy. In addition to their own children, Willie and Rita raised several that lived in the community. As one member said, “Back in the day there was a village that raised each child.” It is these two that the extended Smith family was particularly hon-

They loved sitting on their porch, a porch where many family members will still gather today to reflect on their rich legacy. “We’ve got a lot of history in this county and a lot of professional people in the family who are teachers, managers, members of the military past and present and cooks,” said Smith, with obvious gratitude for the contributions her family has made, and is making, to the community they have called home for decades. With the afternoon continuing to get warmer, the family began to disperse; many headed to the Mandarin Restaurant near Harris Teeter in Warrenton to continue their festivities. “Tell them about 30 brothers and sisters are coming,” said one of the siblings with a laugh. Rita Smith had wanted them to all hold hands as Bette Midler’s popular song played in the background. For her, her family and their many families are heroes. With so many to muster and individual schedules coming into play, she decided that just having them altogether at the cemetery was just fine. It was a good day for all. With so many youngsters present, the legacy of Willie and Rita Smith has a promising future. Reach Anita Sherman at asherman@fauquier.com

Celebrating a legacy of lineage DAR welcomes five new members By Kathryn Campbell
Special to the Fauquier Times
Members of the Fauquier Court House chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution gathered Saturday with 59 members and guests to honor a WWII veteran, welcome new members, and talk about emergency planning. The meeting started with WWII veteran Elizabeth Dale Fleming Lewis being presented with the Women in American History Award to recognize her noteworthy contributions to the community. She joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and served as a surgical nurse on the USAHS Emily Weder until 1946. The military awarded her multiple metals for her service and five battle stars. After the war, she continued to serve the community as a nurse in Warrenton. Lewis proudly wore her uniform at the meeting and shared her fascinating experiences. She even has a service dog in training for a wounded warrior named after her.

DAR members trace their lineage to an individual who contributed through military, civil or patriotic service to securing American independence during the Revolutionary War. Patriotic service can include giving a speech or signing a petition in favor of the Revolution. Some patriots paid a supply tax or gave food. The five newest members to have their lineage proven are Karen Bohacek, Lisa Lawrence, Noelle Malizia, Paula Mullins, April McCoid and Janet McKinney. Karen Bohacek is currently serving the community as a nursing instructor and has been a critical care nurse and a director of nursing. Her patriot is Adam Stonebraker of Pennsylvania. Lisa Lawrence comes from a strong legacy of military service.
Her father is a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient. Her grandfather served as a cadet trainer and mechanic in the Army Air Force at Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama during WWII and was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal. Her patriot is Tobias Hill of Maine. Noelle Malizia is a Fauquier County native. She has just finished college and is looking forward to volunteering. Her patriot is Edward Wilkins of Maine. Paula Mullins is a strong supporter of the military. She is a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and has held offices at the district and the unit level. She is a life member of Amvets Auxiliary. She loves to crochet and makes items to help veterans and wounded soldiers. Her patriot is William Campbell of
Pennsylvania. April McCoid comes from an established Virginia family with seven generations of ancestors born and raised in King and Queen counties. April is a working professional and mother who enjoys art and metal detecting. Her patriot is George Schools of Virginia. Jan McKinney’s family has been in Rappahannock County since colonial times. She is passionate about researching history and genealogy and has served the community by teaching history and English as well as being a circuit court deputy clerk and paralegal. Her patriot is Jacob Weakley of Virginia. These new members joined the chapter in learning about National Preparedness Month. With natural disasters and emergency situations currently in the news, the group learned that the best thing any family can do is talk about these types of situations and have a plan in place. A sample home emergency kit and resources for planning and talking to children were available. A member shared how being prepared helped reduce her family’s anxiety when they were faced with a potential emergency situation. Candy care packages were assembled and brought to our local first responders after the meeting to thank them for all they do to help the community in emergencies.

In harmony with horses On a warm Saturday in June, I attended a presentation by Shari Jaeger Goodwin. It was held not in a meeting room but a riding arena on her farm in Marshall. I couldn’t help but walk through the stables on my way so I could see the horses. Years ago, when we lived in Oregon before moving to Virginia, I took horseback riding lessons on English saddle and even won a few ribbons at shows that the stable held. Trust me, nothing like the equestrian world of Virginia, but I managed to stay mounted over small jumps. Admittedly, in my 20s at the time, I was still fearful of horses even though I loved being around them. One of my greatest joys in life was being one with the horse going over a jump. It is an exhilarating experience to have that momentary connection and collaboration between you and a horse to carry you both in one graceful movement. Most of the time for me it was a disconnect … rhythm was off, horse
FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN would stop at fence, I would freeze up … something. But, when we both really trusted each other, magic happened. Shari is an executive leadership coach, motivational speaker, best-selling author and horsewoman with more than 25 years of experience. I’ve gotten to know her through a nonprofit, Be the Change Foundation, where she is one of the members of the Advisory Council. We offer a series of classes for women who want to start a business or build on an existing one. I serve as a board member and we had her speak at our last graduation ceremony.

Shari Jaeger Goodwin freely admits that she has reinvented her own career several times over. She has taken ex-racehorse Lemon Squeezy and is helping him to do the same. inspired, empowered and energized. She has that kind of mojo. She’s recently published her latest book titled, “Reinventing Greatness: Leading Yourself and Others Through Change with Confidence and Trust.” Many of her insights on the reinvention process are lessons gleaned through working with one of her horses, Lemon Squeezy. A former winning racehorse, she purchased him not by design but rather by serendipity. She’d gone looking for a peaceful mount but could not pass on the opportunity of giving this horse another chance, another path in life. Shari became, and continues to be, Lemon Squeezy’s navigator, mentor and trainer through the challenges he faces – paralleling challenges that many business leaders face when making decisions. Maybe they want to go fast but that isn’t possible or advisable. Maybe it’s all about winning rather than effective negotiating. When Lemon Squeezy was introduced to the group, he sauntered into the arena, head held high and clearly eyeing his surroundings with confidence. Shari is firm but loving in her handling of him. Their mutual affection for one another is evident in her tone of voice, eye contact and his occasional gentle nudges. But this has all taken time, patience and a course of action. All these lessons Shari has incorporated in her leadership model – moving from vision to formulating an effective plan and, perhaps most importantly, doing it with heart. Lemon Squeezy is now an official ambassador for the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, an organization committed to saving the lives of many horses like Lemon Squeezy. Hundreds of horses are currently given sanctuary at 18 thoroughbred retirement facilities across the country. Horses can live upwards of 30 years or more. With this foundation, horses are afforded a permanent and dignified place to retire or be retrained for another career.

Lemon Squeezy was a winning racehorse in 2016. Saturday, Oct. 26, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. She plans to dive deep into the power of trust and resilience. As she describes it, “this retreat focuses on ‘being’ not ‘doing.’ We’ll explore the reinvention process, expose and release limiting beliefs, and [learn to be] open to new approaches you can take now to move forward with more ease.” Surrounded by nature and the ambiance of her equine partners, this retreat is perfect for the professional who would relish new insights. I suspect that it will fill quickly; if you are interested, visit www.jaeger2. com, under services. Lemon Squeezy is a fortunate fellow. He’s found a soulmate in Shari Goodwin and she with him. I know they have had a lot of “aha” moments. Those moments have morphed into life-long learning and leadership lessons that Shari has shared in her book and in her presentations. Her approach is concise, clear and centered. Her authenticity, sincerity and gentleness are attributes that form the foundation for her success. As I left that afternoon I once again walked through the stables, this time taking a minute to say “hello” to Lemon Squeezy and several of the other horses who had their heads poked out from their stalls. I thought about all the work that Shari is doing, her connection with these equine beauties, how she’s married steeds and business acumen, how it all works together, how when you find that oneness, how powerful and life affirming it can be. Magic.

HONORED ROLES Those chosen for the honored position of pallbearer usually include close family or friends, although colleagues of the deceased or anyone else may serve. Corresponding to the six handles on a casket (three on each side), there are six pallbearers, although handles on the front and back sides of the casket allow for two additional people to carry the casket. In addition to considering the person’s relationship to the deceased, physical ability must also be taken into account. If a person is deemed unable to physically participate in the pallbearer’s role, he or she can be designated an “honorary pallbearer.” There is no limit to honorary pallbearers, who can walk in front of, beside, or behind the casket. It’s never easy being the person having to make decisions for a funeral after someone you love passes away. Surround yourself with people who care about you and can help you with whatever need arises. This includes selecting the best pallbearers. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.

Fauquier SPCA hosts microchip clinic Alan Jackson wrote in his country music hit, “Where were you the day the world stopped turning?” Whether you like country music or not, the lyrics from that song brought us all together as one. I think each of us has a vivid memory of where we were on Sept. 11, 2001, when the world we knew was drastically changed. In honor of the men and women that come to the aid of others in need of assistance in emergency situations, Del.

through my job to attend a training titled “Until Help Arrives” sponsored by Fauquier County Department of Fire and Rescue. As much as none of us want to think about a mass shooting, the reality is that this is the world we live in. One of the main things that impacted me from the class is that studies show that people faced with this type of situation first engage in denial. If you hear something or see something that seems suspicious, we need to train our minds to respond. Learn where the exits are when out in public places, be beware of your surroundings. The 4 R’s of the class were: recognize, respond, rescue and report. Battalion Chief R.J. Arft and his staff did an excellent job of teaching this class and gave vital, real-life information that could ultimately save a life.

sion is free. This all-day event will feature vendors with baked goods, crafts, art and local farm-fresh products. A scrumptious barbecue meal will be provided by Marriott Ranch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you are still hungry, popcorn, hot dogs and ice cream will be available throughout the day. Wind up the day sitting on the hill to watch the old-fashioned ring joust at 2 p.m. If you are interested in being a vendor or participating in the joust, contact Peter at 540-422-9188 or email ruritanrsvp@gmail.com. More information is available at www.humeday. org. Vendor spaces are provided at no charge. Hume Day proceeds benefit the college scholarship program or the Reading Is Fundamental program for local elementary schools. The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Christmas gift effort has received several very nice donations. Donations are still being accepted and checks should be made out to Anne Davis with memo line “Pine Ridge Christmas.” Mail checks to P.O. Box 226, Orlean, VA 20128. In addition, we will have homemade baked goods, pickles, etc. avail-
able at Hume Day. We also have a star quilt made at Pine Ridge which will be raffled that day after a silent auction. Your help in providing a happy holiday season for these children and elders, most of whom live in grinding poverty, is always appreciated. Read! Recently we provided ourselves with a special treat: a library card. Books are expensive and our shelves are crowded with books that we love and treasure. Many volumes are a “one-time read” which we do not wish to keep permanently. The library takes care of that issue efficiently; check out the book, read it, then return it. The Marshall branch of the Fauquier Library has a nice selection on hand, along with videos, e-books, reference materials, etc. Materials from the other branches are available on request. Use the library. It’s fun. Article deadlines are Thursdays for our columns. Please send in your items well in advance of event dates for publication at the proper time. We want you and need your input; this is your column. We (the pets and I) only pen it for you.
