Teen buzz on vaping: It’s everywhere Health risks don’t deter young people from Juuling By Robin Earl
Time Staff Writer
When a group of 45 Fauquier High School students were asked, “Do you see people vaping in school?” the students erupted. They all had something to say. They were asked for a show of hands on how many had seen students vaping during class, and a half dozen hands shot up. The students were gathered for Y-Street training on how to be advocates for student health. (Y-Street is a Virginia Foundation that organizes high school volunteers.) Most of their classmates seemed to be aware of the health risks of vaping, they said, but the warnings were not having an effect. “They’re already addicted,” one boy said. Mikey Goltry, a sophomore, opined, “They’re too immature. They think that as long as it’s not happening to them right now, they don’t care.” Another girl said, “Kids are not watching the news. They don’t hear about the dangers.” Someone pointed out, “Their parents are buying it for them, so they think it’s OK.” Y-Street moderator Mel Oliver said, “It’s the same with our friends,” speaking of those in their mid-20s, “Our friends Juul it up too.” School board member Brian Gorg (Center District) said at a Sept. 23 work session that he has heard from

Iron Dog competition tests K-9 skills By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
A small but appreciative crowd gathered at Saturday’s Iron Dog competition at Kettle Run High School. About 27 K-9s from all over the region participated with their handlers. Some were single-purpose dogs – narcotics or bomb sniffing dogs. Others were more versatile, sniffing and tracking with the best of them, but also capable of taking down a bad guy. Civilian and military dog teams were also part of the competition. The Fauquier K-9 and Community Organization sponsored the day, in conjunction with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit. The K-9 teams ran a 1.5-mile course and performed at stations for time, demonstrating skills they use in their day jobs. The apprehension station, for instance, gave visitors a taste of what a perpetrator might have to deal with when faced with a police K-9 and its handler. The team approached the station with the officer shouting a warning to the bad guys. Once given the goahead, the K-9 chose which of two hos-
tiles to take down and went full speed ahead at one of the “decoys.” (The deputy handled the second decoy.) The dogs leaped at the pretend criminal and bit down hard enough to hang on, even when the decoy (dressed in a thick protective suit) tried to shake him (or her) off. They latched on until their handler told them to let go. The exercise might be described as “intense.” Tank Mosley and Micah Janelle of Off-Leash Canine Training played the role of bad guys. Mosley had spent the week in Fauquier, certifying decoys, and Janelle earned her certification during the training. The job of decoy is not for the faint of heart and requires special skill. “You have to adjust to the dog, absorb its weight, so you don’t end up hurting the dog,” said Mosley. He said that they teach the dogs to “fight as if they are fighting a grizzly bear.” But he said, “most times, the bad guys are running away.” He added that female decoys are valuable in the training process. “Dogs have a harder time taking

down a woman, because the woman will talk baby talk to them and reminds them of their ‘mommy.’ But we don’t discriminate. Women can be bad guys too.” While the apprehension station revealed the wolf roots of the K-9s, at the agility station, it was possible to see the dogs as just dogs. While several sailed over the obstacles gracefully, a good number of the K-9s didn’t see why they couldn’t just walk around them; handlers had to convince them to jump before moving on to the next station. Deputy Mimi Miller from the Culpeper Police Department was forced to use a toy ball and encouraging commentary to coax Joker – a large shepherd/malinois mix -- over the 30-inch barriers. Big scary dog notwithstanding, it was adorable. The FCSO has five K-9s – a bloodhound for tracking (Katie), a bomb dog (Ladee), and three multi-purpose dogs (Hank, Bane and Duco). Duco is the latest recruit who started K-9 school last Monday. The twoyear-old Dutch shepherd is handled by Deputy Joseph House. Little-known fact: Bane has several metal teeth. House said, “He will bite so hard that he has broken several of his natural teeth. They had to figure out some way to repair the teeth.” More than 20 vendors sold dog-related items to attendees. Food trucks were on site for breakfast and lunch and an ice cream truck for dessert. Bridge Community Church’s Canteen was also on hand, providing refreshments for the first responders. The event raised approximate-
ly $9,500 for the Fauquier K-9 and Community Organization, according to Detective D. Rosenberry, crime prevention specialist in the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division. She said that funds were raised through sponsorships, vendor fees, participant fees, raffle ticket sales and merchandise sales. Rosenberry said that the mission of the Fauquier Canine and Community Organization is to “serve and support our community by providing assistance, education, and support to Fauquier county community members, local groups and first responders.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

New owners plan to continue successful winery business WINERY, from page 1 “I think this is the right fit for us,” Gomez said. Gomez and Gordon are government contractors in Arlington. Gomez, 37, grew up in Colorado; he moved East for his career. His wife, the former Katie Stokely, grew up in Warrenton. The couple have a son, Benjamin, 2. Duckenfield is an attorney in Washington, D.C. Gomez notes that Delaplane Cellars is now minority-owned. He is Hispanic and his partners are African-American. “There are not a lot of minority-owned wineries,” Gomez said. The longtime friends plan to be hands-on owners as much as their day jobs allow, but they’ll be hiring a general manager. Gomez will serve as managing partner. A smooth transition is planned. “Jim and Betsy have done a phenomenal job,” Gomez said during an interview next to the tasting room. “I hope the clientele appreciate that we make really great French wine. We’re going to continue that. My hope is that we’ll maintain that consistency. I believe the wine here is phenomenal. I’d put it against any other wines in Virginia. And we have the most gorgeous view.” Customers who join the Delaplane Cellars wine club receive a limited

The partners plan to add some “elevated” tastings, where customers pay for a meal with wines chosen to pair with the food. “With the tasting menu you see how wine can choose the food and how food chooses the wine. It provides a great experience,” Gomez
explained. “I like long dinners – two to three hours. You’re able to forge a lot of relationships. We’re 45 minutes from the Beltway. You can be in a gorgeous place enjoying wine and food and getting to know people. You can’t always find that in the busy places in D.C.” The partners plan to use the house on the property for special “higher-end tastings.” They also want to introduce new wines. “Our priority is also to offer some
new releases. We’ve committed to a certain number,” Gomez said. Lisa Christopher interacts with customers as the guest experience manager at Delaplane Cellars. She started the job just a few months ago. She sees good things ahead. The Dolphins “put the nuts and bolts together from the ground up. We want to take that, enhance it and make it better,” Christopher said. “I think the guests will like what [the new owners] will be doing.” Rick Tagg will continue as the winemaker at Delaplane Cellars. Gomez said Tagg has high standards. “He will not pour a bad wine or use bad fruit,” Gomez said. There are 22 acres of grapes planted at Delaplane Cellars. Fruit is also purchased from local growers. Gomez said the partners will be replanting soon with some new varieties of grapes. Most of the grapes have been harvested for this season. “The Cab Sauv grapes look great. We’ll probably pull them at the end of the week,” Gomez said of the grapes used in Cabernet Sauvignon wine. They are still learning the business. “We’ll probably be picking a lot of people’s brains,” said Gomez. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

As vaping illnesses mount, state officials warn of e-cigarettes dangers By Georgia Geen
Capital News Service
When cases of lung disease linked to vaping began popping up across the country this summer, the Virginia Poison Center began receiving calls from people who thought they might have become ill from using e-cigarettes. “Nobody knows why there’s all of a sudden been a cluster,” said Dr. S. Rutherfoord Rose, director of the Virginia Poison Center. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the Virginia Department of Health confirmed the first e-cigarette-related death of a Virginia resident. The VDH also reported that 31 lung injury cases have been confirmed as of Sept. 30 this year. The Trump administration has moved to ban flavored vapes in response to the spike in lung illnesses, the latest in a series of measures nationwide aimed at curbing e-cigarette use. This summer, a Virginia law went into effect that increased the age to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products from 18 to 21. Virginia is one of dozens of states with reports of vaping-related illness. Nationwide, officials have linked 805 cases of lung disease and 13 deaths to e-cigarettes. Vaping often has been cast as a safe alternative to cigarettes. But Rose, who is also a professor at the

The Juul is a popular vaping product available at most convenience stores. VCU School of Medicine, said that because the products are so new, there is a lack of data on the longterm use of vaping. As a result, it’s “premature” to say e-cigarettes are indeed safer, Rose said. “When these things were touted as a safe alternative to cigarettes, that was really only based on the harmful effects of long-term cigarettes. It really wasn’t a comparison because there wasn’t any data,” Rose said. “There’s certainly no data for long-term use of these products; they haven’t been around long enough.”

Using vapes early on can lead young people to smoke cigarettes in the future, according to a 2015 study.
How prevalent is vaping in Virginia?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has compiled data on e-cigarette use in 37 states and U.S. territories in 2017. The data showed that: About 33 percent of Virginia high school students had used an electronic cigarette at some point. That compared with about 42 percent of high school students nationwide. About 12 percent of high schoolers in Virginia were current vape users, just below the national average of 13 percent. (The CDC defines a current user as someone who has vaped at least once during the past 30 days.) About 3 percent of the state’s high school students vaped frequently. That was on par with the national average. (A frequent user is someone

Vaping is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) or other vaping device. E-cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices. They have cartridges filled with a liquid that usually contains nicotine, flavorings and chemicals. The liquid is heated into a vapor, which the person inhales. Some people use e-cigarettes to vape marijuana, THC oil, and other chemicals. There are different kinds of e-cigarettes, but many people use the Juul. This e-cigarette looks like a flash drive and can be charged in a laptop’s USB port. It makes less smoke than other e-cigarettes. The Juul’s nicotine levels are similar to a cigarette’s, but can vary widely.

That also was about the national average. “If somebody’s a teenager, a young person, you don’t want them to continue doing this for 20, 30 years,” Rose said. “There is an inherent danger, and nobody really knows what that danger is. If you’re young and healthy, why risk it?” The wide scope of products people are using — some of which contain nicotine or THC, and are purchased at stores or onine — makes it more challenging to narrow down an exact cause. “There are a variety of products out there, people putting a variety of ingredients in those products,” Rose said. “So there’s not a lot of uniformity.

Coil: The vape coil is the part of a vape pen’s atomizer that vaporizes vape juice. E-liquid: E-liquid is another term for vape juice. This liquid, which sometimes contains nicotine, is also called E-juice. Lung hit: A lung hit is a hit of vapor that you take directly into your lungs without holding it in your mouth first. Mod: A vape mod is a modifiable vape pen. These types of vape pens generally have larger cartridges, more powerful atomizers, and longer-lasting batteries. They are also generally larger than other types of vape pens. Mouth hit: A mouth hit is a hit of vapor you hold in your mouth before you inhale. You can also blow out a mouth hit without inhaling it. Pod: A pod is a type of vape pen that has a short, squat, pod-like shape. Pod vapes are usually significantly smaller than other types of vape pens. Throat hit: Throat hit is a term used by vapers to refer to the way a hit of vapor feels as they inhale it down their throats. People who are used to smoking cigarettes might prefer smoother, gentler throat hits, but expert vapers prefer harsh, intense throat hits.

students that they are concerned about the prevalence of vaping in the schools. In a follow-up phone call Oct. 1, he said, “Students are worried that vaping is hurting their friends.” In conversations with students last year and more recently, Gorg has learned that vaping seems to be viewed by many students as different from other forms of tobacco consumption, as safer than smoking, for instance. Because vaping is so easily concealed, there isn’t the same fear of getting caught, he continued. “These kids are reaching out to adults, saying, ‘Could you help us out with this?’” Gorg said that Superintendent of Schools David Jeck has been meeting with student groups on vaping, and “his sense is that use is going down.”
vape without it hurting me, I would, but the way my body is built, it screws me up.” Sometimes Lyster-Mensh misses the friendly vibe he shared with his friends who vape. "It was nice. It was a companionable thing to do. ‘Can I hit your Juul, Bro?’ It helped me fit in.” These days, Lyster-Mensh tries to convince his friends to give up the habit. “My friends, they’re like smokers. They are coughing all the time, serious coughs. Some of them even have respiratory problems. It may be affecting their lungs. I tell them they need to get off it.”
Vaping’s appeal
Not enough data
Daniel Lyster-Mensh, a 21-year-old professional musician and Fauquier High graduate, said that his vaping habit started in January with a 99-cent vape pen from Wawa. Lyster-Mensh was going through a rough time and “needed a little boost.” He said, “I was hanging out with people who were doing it a lot and I would take hits. I was attracted to it. I saw people I looked up to doing it and it made me feel good. It was fun.” He also said that he thought that the nicotine buzz he got from vaping helped him concentrate. But about three months in, Lyster-Mensh believed it might be harming his health. “I had told my parents I was vaping and they sort of freaked out,” he said. “‘This is stupid,’ I thought, so I threw it away.” But it didn’t last. Lyster-Mensh said he was hanging out and making music with a friend. “His brother was vaping a lot. He gave me one he was using. I went ahead and bought a disposable one. I didn’t want to commit to a full vape, but I kept on buying the disposable ones.” In June, Lyster-Mensh bought a Juul. “Everyone I knew was doing it. It was a little bit edgy, artistic. Literally everyone my age was vaping, and I told myself it was totally fine. You can go through a pod or two a day and it feels like nothing.” But in August, Lyster-Mensh said, “I started to realize my body was not liking this. I was feeling sick, I had headaches and always seemed to have a cough.” Some products were worse than others. “Some made me feel awful, the percentage of nicotine in those was much higher.” It scared him. Lyster-Mensh doesn’t drink or smoke cigarettes or do any drugs. “I know I have an addictive personality, so I stay away from that stuff.” He said he endured what he refers to as vaping withdrawals for about six weeks. “I figured out I had been acting manic. I was annoyed all the time. It was an uncontrollable irritation. My parents were losing their minds at me. And the headaches were horrible.” Lyster-Mensh is relieved to be over the withdrawals. “If I could
Daniel Ferrell, epidemiologist at the Virginia Department of Health, Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, said that although “vaping is really starting to hit home around here,” his department is still collecting data. He said if someone shows up at a local emergency department or urgent care facility with what looks like pneumonia, severe allergy or other kind of respiratory incident, and if the patient has been vaping, “we look further, we dig more into it.” As of yet, he said, “We haven’t identified any one product or been able to prove causality (between vaping and lung illness).” Ferrell fears that in some ways, vaping could be even worse than smoking. The practice was initially marketed as safer than cigarettes, he said, but the nicotine delivery system allows the person vaping to continue inhaling long after a cigarette would have been discarded. Ferrell said, “When you smoke a cigarette, your mouth gets dry and has a strong aftertaste, so you don’t necessarily want to chain smoke. With a vape, it has a flavor and there’s not that nasty taste. Vaping is more socially acceptable and is seen as less obnoxious, so people do it more often and for longer periods.” Levi Rizk, D.O., of Marathon Health (which operates the Fauquier County Employee Wellness Center) agrees that when it comes to the repercussions of vaping, there is still much that is unknown. He said one medical school study found that vaping – much like smoking – makes blood vessels stiffer. Normally, he said, blood vessels dilate and constrict as needed. After vaping, they don’t behave as intended. “And that’s after only one puff.” He said, “We don’t know what the long-term effects will be, but we do know that when cells are exposed to toxins, over time it causes the cells to change their structure. We see that when we study chronic illnesses.” He said, “In my opinion, vaping is guilty until proven innocent.”
The decision to quit
Piedmont Pediatrics pediatrician Joshua Jakum, M.D., said that nicotine intake is many times higher with
vaping than with cigarettes. He is also concerned with the heavy metals and other unknown substances that are inhaled along with the vapor. “There are a lot of nasties in a vape pen.” Jakum said the standard of care to help someone quit nicotine – either smoking or vaping – is the administration of Wellbutrin. “It’s an anti-anxiety, anti-depression medication that helps with addiction and cravings.” He said that it should be used along with counseling or other support services. (See “Vaping resources” box.) Parents can help their children break free of nicotine addiction “by having open, honest conversations with your kids,” said Jakum. “Tell them you are concerned about them and their friends. Do they know anyone who vapes?” Jakum said that when you have to have a difficult conversation, “it’s good to put yourself in a situation where you don’t have to make eye contact with your child. Talking in the car is great. It’s less confrontational, the conversation has a definite end, and they can’t
Raising awareness at the high schools Kraig Kelican, Fauquier High School principal:
“At Fauquier High School, we thoroughly covered the vaping policy and discipline consequences at our class assemblies, including a presentation from our SRO at the beginning of the school year and at new student orientation. This included the change in the law, making vaping or possession illegal for those under 21. “We have increased supervision of restrooms during class change and before and after school. Teachers have been educated regarding vaping devices, odors, vapor, specific student behaviors, etc. through a presentation from administrators and the SRO and SSO. “Additionally, we have developed a school athletic and co-curricular code of conduct that addresses many behaviors and policies related to participation in activities, including vaping violations and the additional consequences given for vaping violations. “We continue to monitor and process violators and will continue to do so, including notification to the parents and SRO.”
Sam Cox, Liberty High School principal:
“Vaping is a serious concern nationwide. We know certain students have access to these devices and would be naive to think they don’t use them at or away from school. “On the first day of school we had our SRO, Master Deputy Chris Meyer, address each class of students about the dangers and consequences of vaping and Juuling. “We have not seen an increase in usage through disciplinary referrals as of September. “We are interested in results from the PRIDE survey and what may be revealed in terms of student use and frequency.”

Meaghan Brill, Kettle Run High School principal:
“At the beginning of the school year (during the first full week of school), we met with each class and reviewed our expectations. This dialogue covered vaping. In previous years, we have also set aside a day to educate our staff. We coordinated with our SRO, Cpl. Jeff Tindle, to put the confiscated items “on display” for our staff so they knew what to look for and the most popular types of vapes. This really helped us to curb the behaviors we had previously been seeing. We will likely do this again for our staff this year as we saw a tremendous benefit in raising awareness. “I also have one student who is working to present his experience with vaping, impacts on one’s health, and being caught at school to all of our ninth-grade physical education students while they are in the health portion of the class. We think that his personal account will resonate with our students.”
Student-led efforts
Fauquier High guidance counselor Heather Harris said that she took a team of students to a Youth, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Project conference in July of 2018 and they returned with a $250 grant to use toward an anti-vaping project. Harris said, “They bought a video that is shown to the ninth-grade health classes, and they are having flyers made to post in bathroom stalls.” The students also provided some training to the faculty this fall, Harris added. “A lot of adults don’t know what to look for. The staff found it very helpful to hear from students.” Harris said that the students shared “hot spots” in the school where vaping happens most often. During class, students blow the vapor into their shirts, she said. “It disappears quickly and doesn’t smell like smoke. It just smells like bubble gum or like someone has just put on hand lotion.”

Marshall candidates forum focuses on 18th District By James Ivancic
Gun safety
Times Staff Writer
Incumbent Del. Michael Webert cited successes cutting red tape and regulations, securing money for schools without raising taxes, boosting horse racing, and supporting farmers during a candidates forum with Laura Galante, his opponent running to represent the 18th District in the Virginia House of Delegates. Both Webert, a Republican seeking his fifth two-year term, and Galante are from Marshall. They answered questions from a panel of journalists for an hour in front of a hometown audience of about 175 in the Marshall Community Center. The 18th District includes parts of Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties and all of Rappahannock County. The election is on Nov. 5. During opening statements, both candidates mentioned their backgrounds in farming. Webert manages a family farm. Galante was a 4-H member as a girl and is an adult leader. She said the 9/11 terror attacks led to her career choice to become a cybersecurity analyst in the government and private sectors.

On the broadband question, Webert said that while the state has a role in providing funds for broadband expansion, local governments should determine how best to spend funds to bring service over the “last mile” to users. Counties could partner with utilities to extend service, he suggested.
Agriculture
Webert said more can be done to support small farmers, such as helping them sell what they produce locally. He cited the case of local poultry farmer Jesse Straight, who Webert said he helped connect with local restaurants. Galante said farmers need help diversifying what they produce and where they sell it so that they aren’t dependent on one country like China, which retaliated against U.S. imports after the U.S. raised tariffs. U.S. soybean producers were particularly hurt by the retaliation. “We need to help local farmers sell directly to consumers. We need to crack that nut,” said Galante. She suggested one way would be to get food from local farmers into school lunch programs. “Kids in Rappahannock could be eating Rappahannock apples; students in Fauquier would eat Fauquier meat,” she said. A portion of state funds that purchase food for school lunches could be used to enable that, she suggested.
Final forum set for Oct. 2
Galante said that while she supports the Second Amendment right to bear arms, she supports extending background checks to include sales through the internet. She supports red flag laws designed to confiscate guns from someone deemed a risk, after a due process hearing. She said there is a lot of confusion about what is an assault weapon and that she’d have to see a specific proposal before deciding whether to endorse regulating them. “What we need are common sense measures,” Galante said. She noted that Webert serves on the House’s militia, police and public safety committee where “bills go to die” when they involve regulating guns, she said. Webert said that his hunting rifle would be deemed an assault weapon under a bill proposed, but not enacted, during a special session of the state legislature called for by Gov. Ralph Northam after the mass shooting incident at a municipal building in Virginia Beach. The session adjourned after 90 minutes without taking up any gun legislation. Webert said the commonwealth’s attorney association “had due process concerns” about a proposed red flag bill in the state legislature. Webert wondered how many of the 72,000 individuals who had failed a background check when they tried to buy a gun in 2010 were prosecuted. (In a follow-up email the day after the forum he explained it’s a crime to lie on the firearms transaction record form and that there’s a clear warning on it. He said only 30 of the 72,000 who failed the background check were prosecuted.) He said he and former Del. Scott Lingamfelter worked on legislation that successfully enabled putting school resource officers in every school in Fauquier County, with additional funding provided by the county. Webert said the governor’s office See CANDIDATES, page 7

“refused to negotiate” the wording of a bill that would have added preschools to school campuses where guns couldn’t be brought. “An off-duty police officer picking up his child couldn’t bring a gun” under the overly restrictive language, Webert said. “It’s either their way or the highway and we’re not allowed to negotiate.”
Education
Climate change
Webert said he supports incentives for clean energy production but is concerned about efforts to address climate change that would result in higher utility bills that would burden consumers less able to afford them. Galante said investment in green energy also has the benefit of creating jobs in producing clean energy products.
Abortion
Neither candidate saw the need to support a bill that would eliminate the requirement that second-term abortions be performed in a hospital and that two physicians concur that an abortion is needed to preserve the mother’s health. Webert said he opposes the bill because of the removal of restrictions. Galante referred to a study that says the number of abortions in the state declined 42 percent between 2011 and 2017. She called for better access to contraceptives to prevent pregnancy.
Marijuana decriminalization
Neither candidate said they supported decriminalizing recreational marijuana use but did support its medicinal use.
Minimum wage
Galante said she supports increasing the state’s minimum wage, which is currently $7.25 per hour. “That’s too low,” she said. Webert said he opposed doing so, citing the increased cost to businesses. In his own business, he said he pays those who work for him well because they work hard every day, in-
Galante said she supports a change in the land use value assessment system that taxes land in agricultural forest, horticulture and open space use at a lower rate because owners have given up their development potential. Counties like Fauquier that have more land in such designated areas receive less state funding. Galante said she supported changing the formula. Webert said the problem is overwhelming support for the current formula from legislators from larger counties that receive a larger share of state funding.
Marshall District supervisors race
The second half of the candidates forum featured incumbent Fauquier County Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, running as an independent for her second four-year term. A small but engaged audience remained at the community center to hear her comments. McDaniel’s opponent, Paul Petrauskas, also an independent, declined to participate in the forum. McDaniel listed as accomplishments: the opening of a new fire station in Orlean; a cellular transmission tower in Hume that’s about to go up; a well coming into service in Marshall; implementation of the Marshall Code to guide changes to the community’s building code; a Marshall Main Street beautification project of sidewalk, lighting and landscaping improvements that should get underway next year; the opening of a park on donated land along the Rappahannock River, and progress on broadband expansion. She acknowledged that Marshall’s geology complicates its ability to provide a perfect water solution, and the area’s topography makes providing broadband coverage difficult. “It’s been a tough road. If it was easier, earlier boards would have done it,” said McDaniel of bringing broadband service to more of Fauquier. The county has $20 million in its capital improvement projects five-
year budget for broadband. “We needed to make an investment and offer incentives” to get a company involved. The county supervisors in September approved an agreement with Data Stream to erect six telecommunications towers, partially funded through the PATH Foundation. The county will get 10 percent back from subscriber fees. “The county needs to be innovative, creative and take a risk” to get broadband service, McDaniel said.

Former church will once again be a place of worship Staff Reports The new owners former St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church at 79 E. Lee St. in Warrenton will return the property to religious use. The property was sold on Sept. 16 to Guadalupe, Inc., a not-forprofit entity whose president is Dr. Francis D. Andres, a psychiatrist practicing in Warrenton. Andres said the former church building will be converted to a pilgrimage shrine as a place of devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, whom Catholics revere as the patroness of the Americas. The building will also serve as a divine mercy shrine. In 1931, Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska, a Polish nun, had visions of Jesus, who directed her to become his instrument of divine mercy. The shrine will also support pro-life efforts and care for the needy. The rectory space on the site will be used for offices. The former church building will also have an area set aside to commemorate Union and Confederate soldiers who died during the Civil War, Andres said. The

building dates to 1860, a year before the war started. During the conflict, the building was used as a hospital following the battles in Manassas in 1861 and 1862. “I am very grateful to all who helped to bring this project to this point, and I look forward to its flowing into a pilgrimage shrine in honor of Our Lady and for the greater realization of Divine Mercy throughout the world,” Andres said. Andres said a number of lay Catholic organizations and others helped make the purchase possible. The property was purchased for $795,000 from Barry Dixon, who used it as an interior design studio and storage space. The property was listed at $900,000 by Will Thomas of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. The property includes the church, a meeting hall and rectory. The site was under contract earlier this year to a family that had plans to open a restaurant there. Last year, a different party expressed interest in buying the property for a restaurant, wellness center and boutique hotel. The St. John congregation moved during the 1960s to a new church built on Winchester Street.
PUBLIC SAFETY ‘Suspicious’ man approaches girls at Bealeton bus stop
Two girls under the age of 18 reported contact with a suspicious man while walking to a bus stop in Bealeton this morning. The incident occurred about 7:30 a.m. on Village Center Drive near Aspen Way, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. He said that the girls were reportedly approached as they arrived at their bus stop by a heavyset black man driving an older-model, gold-colored sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Impala. The vehicle came from the direction of the parking lot at Bealeton Village Center and drove over to the girls on Village Center Drive, Hartman reported. The driver asked the girls a few questions and then drove back to the shopping center parking lot. A short time later, Hartman said, the vehicle and driver approached them again at the bus stop and began asking sexually explicit questions. The driver then drove away and was last seen turning north on U.S. 17 (Marsh Road) from Village Center Drive. The incident was reported to school staff when the students arrived at school. School staff immediately notified law enforcement. Hartman said the suspect was described as having ear-length hair in dreadlocks; he was wearing a blue shirt and had a deep voice, the girls reported. Anyone with information about his incident is encouraged to contact the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office at 540-347-3300.
Marshall man charged with animal cruelty; horse euthanized
A Marshall man has been charged with animal cruelty, a class 1 misde-
meanor, as the result of an investigation into a sick and injured horse, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. FCSO’s Animal Control Unit was notified of an injured horse in a field on Ada Road near Marshall in early August. Sgt. David Lee responded to the complaint with a licensed veterinary technician and located the injured horse, Hartman said. The horse was found to be emaciated, severely dehydrated and suffering from several wounds. It was determined that a veterinarian should be consulted. The doctor arrived at the field and made the decision to euthanize the animal at that time. Hartman said that as a result of the investigation, Lee obtained a warrant on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Phillip Edward Wine, 84, of Marshall, was charged with animal cruelty. The warrant was served and Wine was released on his signature to appear in court. Anyone who suspects animal cruelty anywhere in Fauquier County can contact the Sheriff’s Office at 540-3473300 and report it. Hartman said,
Two charged with arson of unoccupied house
A home on Lake Whippoorwill Drive that was destroyed by fire in July was found burning again last night, Wednesday, Sept. 25. Reports about the structure fire started coming in just after 11 p.m., said Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. The house was already severely damaged by the earlier fire. It was in the process of demolition and rebuild at the time of the second fire, according to Hartman.
While firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, deputies spoke to witnesses who reported hearing or seeing a vehicle leave the scene. During the investigation, a red Jeep Wrangler that met witnesses’ descriptions was observed in the Whippoorwill Drive area. Deputies located the Jeep and conducted a traffic stop, said Hartman. He said there was enough evidence to place the individuals in the Jeep at the scene of the house fire. Two of the occupants of the Jeep were placed under arrest and have been charged in connection with the house fire, Hartman said. Austin William Brown, 24, of Amissville, was charged with arson of an unoccupied building, a class 4 felony. He was held with no bond. Christopher Riley Perrin, 27, of Warrenton, was charged with arson of an unoccupied building, a class 4 felony, and being drunk in public. The arson warrant is currently on file due to Perrin’s level of intoxication; service is pending. A bond hearing was delayed, also due to his level of intoxication, Hartman reported. The sheriff’s office is still investigating. Sgt. Hartman encouraged anyone who may have observed a red Jeep Wrangler in the area of Whippoorwill Drive or in the Lake Whippoorwill subdivision area, or who might have information regarding this incident to contact the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office at 540-347-3300. A caller’s identity may remain anonymous.

A better solution to the vaping crisis: Education There’s nothing like walking into the bathroom and smelling the artificial scent of mangoes. Some may think it’s a new air freshener, but others know better. What they are actually smelling is the remains of student vaping. Vaping is an epidemic taking over the country, especially among teenagers and young adults. As a high school student, I am surrounded by vaping every day. Students inhale e-cigarettes mindlessly, sugar-coating the dangerous reality of vaping. Vapes are relatively new, and many believe they are harmless. Yet the National Institute of Health says e-cigarettes contain many toxic chemicals, including nickel, chromium, cadmium and carcinogens. Along with this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 805 lung injury cases and 13 deaths due to vaping as of Oct. 1. Thirteen may seem like a small number, but those were 13 beautiful lives that the world will never get back. It’s horrifying to think that my classmates could fall to this fate. The most disturbing part is they vape without knowledge on how e-cigarettes break down their bodies. We never grew up learning the dangers of vaping as we did smoking. Schools advise students to not vape but never explain why. This results in teenag-

ers carelessly vaping, thinking it’s safe. Along with a lack of knowledge, one of the main reasons teens vape is for social appearance. For teens, vaping is the “next big thing.” If you do it, you’re automatically cooler, but if you don’t, you’re a boring goody-two-shoes. Once students pick up the vape, they’re hooked by the addictive nicotine and flavorings, and the cycle continues. We attempt to combat the vaping surge, but in the wrong ways. Beginning in July, Virginia raised the age for purchasing tobacco and nicotine products from 18 to 21. While this policy recognizes the dangers of vaping, it doesn’t help. Kids access vapes through older family members, siblings and friends and continue to vape in public and private spaces. A better solution to stopping student vaping is to educate teenagers on the dangers of e-cigarettes, and how it’s not as cool as it seems. If students learned about the harm vaping can cause, and specifically that it can cause death, we would be a lot more hesitant to pick up a vape. You may look at this issue and say, “This doesn’t affect me, why should I care?” However, it does affect you. You never know who will fall next -- your children, your friends, your coworkers -- even you. We need to take this vaping crisis seriously. We can’t keep looking at it as a passing trend, because it's not. This is a real issue that is hurting and killing real people. If you or a family member is currently suffering from drug addiction, visit www. QuitNow.net/Virginia or call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Rachel Singleton is the editor-in-chief of the Falconer student newspaper at Fauquier High School.
E-cigarette flavorings and marketing to blame for explosion of teen vaping Vaping -- what once started as an innocent trend has begun to cause panic throughout the public. E-cigarettes are devices that heat a liquid to a temperature high enough to be inhaled as a form of aerosol; this is referred to as vaping. The Centers for Disease Control have so far confirmed 13 vaping deaths. So if there’s proof that vaping causes damage, then why do people do it? Vaping was initially developed to help people quit smoking cigarettes, but most students have never touched a cigarette, yet they’re getting hooked on vaping. They believe that vaping is safe, when in reality, vaping shouldn’t be promoted as a safe thing.

It is true that e-cigarettes contain fewer chemicals than are in tobacco smoke, but some types of e-cigarettes contain more nicotine than the conventional cigarette. Others contain THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. See TEEN VAPING, page 10

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago October 5, 1944 Eyewitness to the triumphal entry of Gen. Charles DeGaulle into Paris was a Fauquier man, Capt. Clifford P. Zieger, who wrote home last week that it was he who piloted the Fighting French commander from his North African headquarters to the liberated French capital. Capt. Zieger, former airline pilot for whom Zieger Field below Warrenton is named, is in the Air Transport Command. Capt. James H. Herbert of Delaplane has been awarded the air medal for meritorious achievement in aerial combat, according to a release for an Eighth AAF Fighter Station in England, where he is stationed. Capt. Herbert, 26, is a member of a P-51 Mustang group whose long-range fighters are escorting heavy bombers to their targets in Germany. Rationing and distribution control of all farm machinery except corn pickers have been canceled. This makes it possible for a farmer to purchase machinery anywhere in the U.S. that it can be found. 50 Years Ago October 2, 1969 William E. Clarke, 39, of Warrenton, a delegate to the 1968 state and national Democratic conventions, has announced his candidacy as an independent to succeed the late Tom Frost in the House of Delegates. His opposition in the November election will be Republican F. Preston Pulliam, Warrenton insurance man, and Duncan C. Gibb, Front Royal
attorney appointed by the 28th Virginia Legislative District Democratic Committee to run, after Tom Frost died. The program last week of the Warrenton Rotary Club was a lunch hour visit with the hounds of the Warrenton Hunt at Ridgelea. After a buffet lunch, the Rotarians heard fellow member and former MFH of the hunt W. N. Wilbur describe the joys and hazards of foxhunting. Huntsman Dick Bywaters and Whipper-in Fred Duncan put the hounds through an impressive drill. 25 Years Ago October 5, 1994 Although his job puts him on call 24 hours a day, Sgt. Paul Mercer, Fauquier High School’s first community resource officer, says it is “an absolute joy.” Every morning before school starts, students crowd into his office for the free doughnuts, pastries and potato chips he buys for them. “It helps me build a rapport with them,” he said. The surprise Disney retreat last Wednesday produced euphoria for some and dismay for others, but it will have a minimal effect on county expectations of development pressure from the east. “I think Prince William County, being where it’s located, is going to continue to get development,” said Lee District Supervisor David Mangum.

OPINION
E-cigarette flavorings and marketing to blame for explosion of teen vaping TEEN VAPING, from page 9 Immoral companies want to hook the new generation by promoting e-cigarettes as a habit without consequences. In 2014 they spent $125 million marketing and advertising, targeting the younger students by placing their ads near schools. In 2018, the number of students vaping doubled from the previous year, stated the AHO. One of the main reasons students claim to vape is the flavored liquids that are used in them. When one student vapes, multiple students want to try it out. When you have groups of students in a school vaping, the students that aren’t vaping begin to feel left out. That’s when peer pressure comes in and more students join in. They also use vaping as a way to gain popularity by posting themselves vaping on their social media. At this point, vaping is seen as normal among teens, without any awareness of the consequences. Students talk about experiencing abnormal symptoms during physical activities or sleeping. They refuse to believe that vaping has anything to do with it, when in reality, it does. Since they aren’t informed, they continue to vape. On July 1, the state of Virginia prohibited sales or distributions of nicotine vapor products to any person under the age of 21. The possession of a nicotine vapor product is also prohibited for any individual under the age of 21. The question is, will these regulations eliminate vaping in the younger groups? People are using this as a way to make profits. An older adult will buy the vapor products to then sell to teens at a higher price. Once teenagers become addicted to vaping, they will pay whatever the price is to get what they want. The best way to eliminate vaping is by raising awareness of the true consequences it has to your health.

Galante shines at candidate forum
thoughts are …” If the proposed legislation won’t work, what are Mr. Webert’s thoughts on stopping the mass murders and the carnage? When is he going to not just kill bills, but actually do something to reduce the killing of innocent people? Mr. Webert was woefully short on ideas. Maybe his eight years in office have jaded him and he is tired, hence the boredom and lack of initiative to come up with the solutions our county needs. My vote on Nov. 5 will be for Laura Galante, and I hope you will consider voting for her as well.
I attended the candidates forum on Sept. 25 with Democrat Laura Galante and Republican Del. Michael Webert. Both are running for the 18th District House of Delegates seat. They were very different in not only their responses, but their demeanor. Mr. Webert appeared bored throughout the debate while Ms. Galante was clear-eyed, energetic and laser-focused on her ideas. This was evident when the candidates were asked if they supported the ERA. Ms. Galante responded with one word – “yes!” Mr. Webert meandered around the issue and
quoted party lines that the ERA was dead, and he would be concerned about the effects on women’s sports teams and bathrooms. Of course, the question du jour was proposed gun control. Mr. Webert said that the legislation proposed at Gov. Ralph Northam’s session in July wouldn’t prevent the murders. He also said legislation coming before him in committee was problematic and that is why he killed it. When pressed by the moderator for how he would make the legislation better, he demurred, and fell back to party lines. “While I support the Second Amendment, my

We are writing for your support for D.J. Jordan (R), candidate for Virginia House of Delegates from the 31st District. The 31st District includes parts of southern Fauquier and Prince William counties We each have served as president of the Fauquier County Farm Bureau board, and, while we do not speak for Farm Bureau as an organization, we each as individuals are very enthusiastic about D.J.’s candidacy. D.J. will be an intelligent and effective common-sense voice in Richmond for measures that favor agriculture, small business, education and the values overwhelmingly held by voters of the 31st District. In contrast, the incumbent, Del. Elizabeth Guzman (D), comes from the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat (sic) Party and is a principal co-sponsor of the agriculture-unfriendly Virginia Green New Deal. She has earned an anti-business “F” rating from the Virginia Chamber of Commerce and supports doubling the minimum wage and repealing Virginia’s right-to-work laws. This election is an opportunity to send a delegate to Richmond who represents the views of the 31st District rather than the excesses and foolish fads of the left wing of the national Democrat (sic) Party. D.I. Jordan is providing that opportunity.

I have known Eric his entire life. Along with his outstanding work ethic, he is a man of high integrity and unquestionable moral character. He is not only dedicated to his family, but also to this county. I will now refer to an article written about Eric by one of his former superiors, Joseph Peterson. Eric has worked as a “regional manager at Gateway One Lending, where he achieved national recognition

Eric managed six teams across five states along the East Coast, overseeing a monthly portfolio of $16.5 million and $200 million annually.” That’s quite the endorsement itself. What greater insight into a person and their ability to do a job than from someone with whom they have worked. There should be no doubt that he can do the job, but also that he is the best person for the job. Please join me in casting your vote for Eric Maybach for commissioner of the revenue on Nov. 5.

Thoughts on climate change There were good discussions in the Sept. 25 edition of the Fauquier Times about climate change. There are a number of issues that need to be considered when we discuss climate change and possible solutions. 1) Solar panels considerations a) Solar panel efficiency aging or loss of efficiency b) Efficiency loss due to debris and dirt covering panel surfaces c) Effect of latitude on efficiency d) Effect on winter vs. summer on efficiency e) DC-AC power converter reliability f) Unsubsidized cost per kWhr of solar panels vs. natural gas fired power plants g) Number of acres needed to power the US with solar panels h) The amount of sunlight reflected back into space and its impact on climate cooling 2) Wind turbine considerations a) Unsubsidized cost per kWhr of wind turbines vs. natural gas power plants b) Impact of low frequency noise and vibrations on people, animals and marine life (ocean- based turbines) c) Impact on wind farms and migrating birds reducing wind electricity production d) The number of acres required to power the U.S. e) Perhaps Dominion can provide answers to both wind and solar costs vs. natural gas.
3) Real impact of CO2 a) Minimum levels of CO2 to sustain life on the planet b) Maximum historic levels of CO2 c) Is bio mass increasing or decreasing around the world, based on satellite observations? d) Are temperatures changing based on satellite data? e) Older ground stations have been in existence for nearly a hundred years. They were originally located away from urban areas to minimize localized heating from structures, roads, restricted wind movement and lack of normal vegetation. Basically, cities and urban areas are hot spots and can skew weather data. 4) The push to electric vehicles will require enormous quantities of rare earth minerals to make batteries and new electric motors. The U.S. has large deposits of these minerals, but processing them has toxic byproducts and waste, resulting in no production facilities in the U.S. This is now done in China and building facilities in the U.S. will be very complex, expensive and time consuming. Additionally, nickel and cobalt mining and refining generated large amounts of hazardous materials. Those metals are also used in efficient electric motors. Clearly climate change is a complex issue, these questions and their answers only scratch the surface of what needs to be openly discussed. JOHN MAXWELL Warrenton

The Winery at La Grange showcases premium fruit
WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Virginia and West Coast grapes star in quality portfolio By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Seth Chambers is a winemaker on the move. Wherever he can source grapes that shine, he moves on them. Virginia, California, Washington state and Oregon are four of his favorite venues. He quickly underscores, though, that he does not blend out-of-state and Old Dominion wine. Each offering stands on its own merits. “Our goal at LaGrange is producing fine wine and pleasing customers,” says Chambers. “When guests taste our wines, I don’t think they think West Coast is better than Virginia. I am super proud of my Virginia Rosé, Petit Verdot and other wines.” His wines are labeled Virginia or American so there is no sleight of hand about what’s in the bottle. Chambers believes there are certain terroirs -or the somewhereness of where the fruit is grown -- that can produce different palate experiences. To fully grasp the concept of terroir here’s a test: Where’s the best expression of a Georgia peach grown? Yep, Georgia. In Virginia you rarely see grapes such as Gewürztraminer, Petit Sirah, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Zinfandel and more. They make excellent wines, but the Old Dominion’s climate is often too cold, hot, or humid to bring out the best in those varietals. But in the hands of a capable winemaker, it doesn’t matter where the wine is made. Once the fruit is in the cellar, a qualified maestro can create a symphony of aromas and flavors from a variety of grapes. “I want to be different and work with what Virginia produces best while also bringing out the best in West Coast fruit. It’s not an overlapping of

It’s what our guests are looking for. “I try to be honest and upfront as a winemaker. You can buy good wine at a lot of places today. At LaGrange, it’s about producing a variety of quality wine while offering hospitality and a unique experience in the tasting room. “An example was one of our Cabernet Sauvignon selections. The same wine was aged in French oak and American oak. We poured them as a pair and went back and forth, contrasting the difference and similarities between the two oak styles,” says Chambers. While the tasting room serves wines reflecting both east and west provenance, many of the more unique bottlings are destined for Chambers’ wine club Black Label program. The club has been revamped this year and is gaining in popularity. Members receive special selections quarterly and can pick them up at the winery or have them shipped directly to their home wine cellar.
Bona fides
So where does the talent and skill originate to produce a panoply of wine styles? As with most success, it springs from a focused education coupled with passion. Chambers, 36, has both in ample supply. Early in his formative years, he switched his college major from astrophysics to organic chemistry because he wanted to become a winemaker. He served a summer internship in 2006 at La-

Winemaker Seth Chambers loves producing wine from a variety of grapes including his favorites from the West Coast. Grange, the year it opened. “I left that summer with a determination that I had found my calling. I finished up at Penn State with a degree in organic chemistry and a minor in plant biology and got my first job as a winemaker in Virginia.” The following spring, he obtained his enology certification and in 2014 returned to LaGrange to lead its wine program. His education is like that of a growing number of Virginia winemakers who hold wine and vineyard degrees, as opposed to the early days when hobbyists largely morphed into winemakers.
The venue
Besides the ability to experience a wide range of wines, what might a visitor expect from a visit to LaGrange? If the answer eludes, it’s likely you haven’t walked the hallowed grounds of LaGrange or toured its historic home. Built in 1790, the manor house sits on a small rise in the shadow of Bull Run Mountain. The almost six-acre property was originally part of Robert “King” Carter’s Bull Run Tract in the 1600s known as LaGrange. The property’s size ebbed and flowed over the centuries but the three-story red brick manor house survived the vagaries of time. In December 2005, a small group of investors purchased the historic farm and dilapidated home and made necessary repairs to both. It opened as a winery in September 2006. Today the estate is a historical gift to wine lovers. To tour the home or relax on the park-like grounds while gazing at rolling vineyards and mountain scenes, is an invitation to step back in time and enjoy the liquid fruits of the vineyard and cellar. “I live in nearby Gainesville,” says Chambers, “It’s always five to six degrees cooler out here. It’s a beautiful setting.” The winery, at 4970 Antioch Road, Haymarket, is open seven days a week from noon to 9 p.m. enticing guests to sip and nibble from their own picnic baskets both during the day or after a day’s slog in the job harness.

COUGARS DISH OUT SOME PAYBACK Kettle Run ends eight-match volleyball losing streak to Fauquier By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Oct. 23, 2014 was the last previous time Kettle Run beat Fauquier in volleyball. That’s ancient history now as the visiting Cougars beat the Falcons 25-21, 20-25, 25-14, 25-20 last Thursday, to end a five-year, eight-match losing streak in the local rivalry. “The girls have been talking ‘We want to beat Fauquier.’ Basically, what I told them is ‘Talk is talk,’” said first-year Cougars coach Mike Howard. “‘This is your rival, but do you know how to win? How to beat them?’’’ Kettle Run focused on not falling behind. They took the lead, served well and hustled to keep scramble balls alive. “This is probably one of the best matches we have played. Tonight we wanted to come out here and make a statement about Kettle Run volleyball,” Howard said. The win was historically significant. Most Kettle Run players were 11 or 12 when their school last beat the Falcons. Of Fauquier’s eight wins in a row, six were 3-0 sweeps., with the Falcons winning by a combined 24-2. The win continued a strong season for the Cougars, now 5-2 and third in the Northwestern District behind James Wood and Millbrook. Fauquier fell to 3-4 and sits ifth, one-half game behind Sherando (4-4). Howard is getting his shot as coach after one year as freshman coach and a year as the junior varsity mentor, so he understands the significance of the win. Howard told his players a solid start would help neutralize the Falcon home court advantage. Kettle Run led 7-4 when Faith Schaefer went to the service stripe. The junior ran off six straight points, aided by two Mae Sutliff kills and one by Cassidy Perino to build a 13-5 lead. Fauquier closed to 18-16 on a pair of Stephanie Robson services, but Perino served the final two points of a 25-21 first set win. Fauquier trailed 15-13, but rallied to win the second set thanks to a five-point Lily McIntyre service, a Skyler Furr block and kills by Robson and Furr. The momentum pendulum swung again in the third set after it was 6-6. McIntyre and Sutliff each See KETTLE RUN, page 16

Three-time Northwestern District champion Bryce Leazer headlines a strong continent at Monday’s Class 4 Region C tourney in Purcellville.
Saturday was the most successful day of the season for the Fauquier High cross country teams. The Falcon boys took first place and the girls second at the 22nd Annual Stonewall Jackson Cross Country Invitational at New Market Battlefield State Park. Both squads competed in the Blue Division (the highest). The boys edged fellow Northwestern District member Sherando, 38-41. Brian Bolles took second in 18:10 as all five Falcon scorers finished in the top 15 in a field of 71.
Falcons Kyle St. Clair (6th, 18:28), John Paccassi (7th, 18:37), Austin Fernandez (11th, 19:14) and Peter Paccassi (14th, 19:31) also scored in the top 14. “We beat them and that was big. We were without two of our top five guys. It was a good day,” said coach Quentin Jones, who noted the course was longer than the standard 5,000 meters, making time comparisons difficult. Sherando’s James Harris (17:29) won, beating Bolles by 41 seconds. Sherando grabbed the girls crown with 30 points, while Fauquier edged Class 6 Osbourn Park, 54-55, for the runner-up spot.

AIN’T NO STOPPIN’ EAGLES THIS YEAR
Liberty field hockey beats Fauquier, 3-1, as powerful season continues By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
“Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now” was a 1979 disco song that spent a week at No. 1 on the R&B singles charts. It’s an appropriate theme for the Liberty field hockey team, which continues to pulverize foes and turn heads. The best start in Liberty program history continued last Tuesday with a rare 3-1 win over Fauquier, which had won at least 21 straight in a lopsided rivalry. The Falcons were unbeaten against the Eagles since 2009 and possibly before. Liberty’s two second-half goals snapped a 1-1 tie, ended the long drought vs. the Falcons and kept the Eagles perfect at 10-0 heading into Tuesday’s game at Culpeper. The Eagles’ run-and-gun offense entered on a 38-4 scoring margin over its previous nine opponents, but had just one goal with just over 12 minutes remaining. Passes by Gretchen Thomas and Daphne Daymude found Skyler Hadler at the left post for the eventual winner. The tally came off a penalty corner as the Falcons were unable to clear the ball from the goal area due to the swarm of Eagle attackers battling for the loose ball. Daymude then capped the scoring with 14:05 to play. “We definitely used scoring to ignite our offense,” coach Katie Norman said. “Once we scored, they gained confidence to do it again. We found the gaps in their defense and knew where we needed to get the ball in order to score.”

The win kept the Eagles unbeaten at 10-0 and ended at least a 21-game losing streak to the Falcons. Early in the game, Liberty established a wide advantage in time of possession early and continually penetrated the Falcon defensive circle. The Eagles’ fourth penalty corner struck paydirt.

Kettle Run and Liberty come into Friday’s 14th all-time football meeting heading in opposite directions. 0-4 Kettle Run has lost to two teams it beat handily last year in Brentsville and James Wood, and sees more tough times ahead with three undefeated teams looming in Liberty (4-0), Louisa (4-0) and Handley (4-0). A Oct. 11 game at Fauquier (2-2) breaks up the murderer’s row. Meanwhile, Liberty (4-0) has survived every test presented and continues to build playoff momentum. The first Class 4 Group B rankings have Liberty (26 points) at No. 4 behind Broad Run (27), Handley (26) and Tuscarora (25.6), with Fauquier (19.5) 10th and Kettle Run (12.5) 13th and last. The Eagles lead Kettle Run 9-4 in the all-time series but lost last year 33-14.

Fauquier’s defense faces a huge test when Millbrook visits Falcon Field on Friday. The Pioneers (4-1) average 41 points a game.

The Falcons lead the all-time series 6-4, but Millbrook has won the last two by big margins, 53-26 and 53-31 in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

She buried her shot with 13:04 remaining in the first half. Fauquier responded with a smothering attack during the rest of the half and the opening six minutes of the second period. The Falcons built a 6-1 advantage in penalty corners in that span and tied it after three failed Liberty attempts to clear. Senior Lucy Arnold gained control in the center of the circle, passing to the right post where Jessica Summers stuffed the ball inside the cage. Fauquier had several other strong chances but failed to finish. That period stalled the high-octane Eagles temporarily because the Eagles often pulled its
entire squad into the defensive sphere to blunt the Fauquier attack. “We haven’t had many teams pressure our defense this year like Fauquier did,” Norman said. “But once we made the adjustment, I felt a lot more comfortable.” But Liberty eventually got the ball into the open space of the midfield area to create the decisive opportunities. “This is a special group of girls with not only goals but the commitment to make changes,” Norman said. “They’re fun to coach.” Fauquier was the easy winner of the junior varsity game, 4-0. Lily Paccassi and Anjoli Johnston tallied firsthalf goals, and Marjorie Davenport scored twice after intermission.

A GIFT HORSE FOR KATIE
Tarasevich takes ex-racehorse to national event in Kentucky By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Katie Tarasevich received a Christmas present last December she says she’ll never regift. That gift from husband Alex was thoroughbred gelding Up The Power, which Tarasevich has entered in the $100,000 Thoroughbred Makeover, a Retired Racehorse Project competition Oct. 2-5 at Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Ky. The Oct. 2-5 event showcases the versatility and athletic potential of former racehorses. Some 500 horses are entered in 10 disciplines as varied as barrel racing to show jumping. Tarasevich and Up The Power are competing in dressage and freestyle. Last year, 420 horses from 40 states took part. About 200 horses were sold through the Makeover Marketplace after the event. “That’s not happening with Ranger, of course,” Tarasevich said with a laugh. “He’s got a lifetime home with me. “He always had the right ‘brain’ for this kind of work.”
Cross-training, from the start
Tarasevich, 30, grew up in Front Royal. She learned from the late Christine Bach in Hume, and got her first horse, a thoroughbred, when she was a teen. Through Bach and that horse, Percy, Tarasevich said she “learned the importance of well-rounded
training. We did 4-H, drill team, endurance, hunters, and I even brought Percy to Bridgewater College with me, and I rode on the intercollegiate team.” The couple purchased their farm near Catlett in February, 2018. Late last summer, Tarasevich had neck surgery (on C5 and 6) to correct damage from a car accident. “The doctors said not to ride for at least six months,” Tarasevich said. “I started back riding in November. Of course.” Husband Alex said her eagerness to ride again helped with his decision to purchase Up The Power for Christmas. It was their first holiday together and it turns out, he found the perfect color in just the right size. 16.2 and gray. “I’m done giving you jewelry,” he teased Katie. “You didn’t need more jewelry. You needed another horse.” They found Up The Power on a website called CANTER, or Creating a Network for Thoroughbred Ex-Racehorses, which links retiring runners with potential buyers. Trainer Pete Aylor had posted the gelding on the CANTER website following his Nov. 1 race at Charles Town. “I knew he’d make a nice riding horse,” Aylor said of the Virginia-bred son of Up Periscope, adding that it is always a race trainer’s hope that retired runners will go on to successful second or third careers. Tarasevich has created what she hopes is a winning performance designed around Up The

She’s set the 5-minute display to Power Rangers theme music, adding freestyle moves that include a choreographed “dance” around LED lights she’ll set up on the arena floor. “He’ll have lights braided in his mane and tail, too. We’re working on a canter circle around an LED display in pink and blue, like Power Rangers. It’ll look cool.”

Fauquier teacher touched by tragedy and triumph Daughter receives emergency liver transplant By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
This October will be particularly poignant for Brian Funk and his family. Last year on Oct. 31, his daughter Haleigh was pregnant with her first child. Her treat for Halloween was a visit to UVA hospital, a several days stay and then delivering her baby boy on Nov. 6 at 32 weeks via cesarean section. “She had been having severe pains,” during this time, said Funk, “and it turned out she was diagnosed with HELLP Syndrome … it’s a rare disease.” HELLP syndrome is a potentially life-threatening disorder that’s usually associated with preeclampsia, a condition that occurs in 5 to 8 % of pregnancies — most often after the 20th week of pregnancy. HELLP syndrome is a disorder of the liver and blood that can be fatal if left untreated. For more than 20 years, Funk has been a special education teacher at Fauquier High School. This disease afflicting his daughter was all new territory for the family to navigate. “It was so bad that Haleigh was placed first on the liver transplant list,” said Funk who can’t say enough about the treatment that Haleigh received at the University of Virginia Health System, one of the leading transplant centers in the United States. Funk was grateful that they were relatively close to Charlottesville and because of the UVA Transplant Patient Assistance Fund, he and his wife were put up with temporary housing while she was in the hospital. The UVA Transplant Patient Assistance Fund has been in service for many years and is the result of donations from patients, the community and interested private parties. For the Funk family, it was a life saver. “While she was going through this process, the UVA Transplant Fund greatly assisted my family, as they provided lodging for my wife and me during the three-week period, she was at UVA dealing with the transplant. Once my daughter was discharged, she and her husband were able to stay at the hotel so they could be close to UVA and their son who was in the NICU,” said Funk. “We met people there who had come from all over the country,” said Funk, “The transplant team was awesome … it’s a great thing.” During this time, Funk decided to

She is seen here with husband Andrew and son Kasen. take a positive and proactive approach to helping in what ways he could. “I designed and created a T-shirt – sold to friends – to help support Haleigh and the fund,” said Funk. One of his fellow teachers and longtime friends at Fauquier High School, Chap Shepherd, who also teaches special education, has a 9-year-old son Quinn, who decided to wear the T-shirt at all of his sporting events including flag football, swimming, baseball, etc. He celebrated a birthday in September and rather than presents, asked for donations to the UVA Transplant Patient Assistance Fund. “I just think this is so cool,” said Funk, “that a young person would decide to do that … he hadn’t even met our daughter.” The Annual UVA Transplant Golf Benefit was held Sept. 16 at Spring Creek Golf Club located a few minutes from Charlottesville. Brian Funk was there along with friends playing to help raise funds. Quinn Shepherd was there presenting the UVA Transplant Patient Assistance Fund with a check for $409 in honor of Haleigh. “This 9-year-old deserves credit,” said Funk, acknowledging that the
family was in no way seeking recognition. “His attitude and giving spirit is not the norm these days, he has gone above and beyond in his support for my family, my daughter and those needing assistance, as many families travel great distance to have transplants done at UVA,” added Funk, deeply appreciative of all the support they have received. “As her father, I have been touched by his generosity and my family has been as well,” said Funk. Haleigh’s husband, Andy Butler, was born and raised in Fauquier County. “He has been a prince and has possessed a tremendously positive attitude,” said Funk who said that Haleigh has had a fantastic recovery. A nurse at Culpeper Hospital, Haleigh is back at work but remains under a doctor’s care and supervision. Baby Kasen is 10 months old and likewise is doing well. There have been changes for Brian Funk and his family. His wife, Sandy, decided to quit her job and be a stay-at-home grandmother to young Kasen and two of their other grandchildren. “There really wasn’t a choice,” said Funk noting that because of the
liver transplant, Haleigh needs to be as germ-free as possible, so having Kasen in a day care situation didn’t seem a good solution. Throughout this ordeal, Funk was buoyed in large part by his daughter’s attitude. “My daughter has never said, ‘Why me? … Why did this happen to me? … Rather, “Why not me? … Let me be an example.’” “This whole thing has brought us much closer to our family … to our faith,” said Funk. “[Kasen] was given to them for a reason … He is a gift … He sparks joy.” To learn more or donate to the UVA Transplant Patient Assistance Fund, visit www.uvahealth.com or phone 800-543-8814.

Art of Aging Expo set for Oct. 8 By 2030, 25 percent of our region’s population will be over the age of 60 with the fastest-growing segment of the community 75 and older. As demographics change, so too does the marketplace, as more and more businesses shift to meet the needs of older adults. While many older adults are living active and healthy lives, some are experiencing challenges that require accurate and timely information. For example, assistance with chores or handy work, best places to work out and stay fit, where to go for healthcare screenings, where to find i n for mat ion about chronic disease and management, and where to find support for caregivers? In its ongoing effort to help prepare for the unprecedented growth in the older population, Aging Together will hold its Annual Art of Aging Expo aimed at older adults, their families and caregivers. But the expo isn’t just for those 55 and older. Younger families should attend to learn more about what’s
available in the community. After all, we are all aging! Last year, an unprecedented 500 people turned up to learn about resources; enjoy networking opportunities, take advantage of free screenings, win raffles, and have fun! This year, the expo is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Daniel Technology Center at Germanna Community College in Culpeper. The expo will showcase services, products and businesses from Madison, Orange, Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. The expo will again feature a free shredding truck – so bring all documents for shredding, an art display, and Virginia State Police Automobile VIN etching to reduce auto theft. There will also be representatives from: home care, assisted living, health services, housing, insurance, transportation and more. Also available will be flu shots, vision and hearing screenings, an antique appraiser, chair massage, a blood mobile and door prizes.
AGING TOGETHER ELLEN PHIPPS
Vendor resource tables will include information on local services, caregiving, Alzheimer’s, hearing loss, in-home services, medications and other health and lifestyle products, and much more. One of Aging Together’s primary goals has always been helping people navigate the difficult landscape of aging and healthcare services. The expo represents a way to help do so. The expo also aims to help caregivers who are providing care and support to older adults. Caregivers tend to be adult children or relatives in their 40s who are also caring for their own children and just starting to think about their own aging. “Community conversations” conducted by Aging Together in all five counties revealed common themes regarding the needs of older adults in our communities. Not surprisingly, across the board people indicated a need for transportation, affordable housing, food, and the need to be
connected socially. Caregiving for a family or friend was also high on the list. Overall, people have a desire to stay home and independent as long as possible and to stay close to family and friends. Sometimes that means reaching out for assistance or gathering information before a crisis occurs. But people don’t tend to seek out information about resources until they are in crisis. That can be a difficult time to begin looking. Knowledge is power, and sometimes remaining at home independently can be achieved with simple support solutions – such as help with transportation or shopping. This is why we encourage people to come out to the expo – it’s “one-stop shopping” for much of the information that may be needed down the road, if not presently. Aging Together is proud that the expo showcases our local services. “Buy local” doesn’t just apply to farmers markets. We want people to use the services that will help them to “age in place” right here in this region. For more information about the Oct. 8 expo, visit www.agingtogether.org/expo Ellen Phipps is the executive director of Aging Together. Reach her at ephipps@agingtogether.org or 540-321-3068.

Fall season pays tribute to Neil Simon Fauquier Community Theatre presents ‘Lost in Yonkers’
PHOTOS BY STEPHEN RUMMELL PHOTOGRAPHY
Arty is played by Jake Miller, Grandma played by Catherine Stuart, and the part of Jay is played by Cameron Dean. By Christie Clark
Special to the Fauquier Times
The Fauquier Community Theatre has chosen a Neil Simon comedy drama for its fall show in honor of the recently deceased king of snappy one-liners, the ever-talented, Neil Simon. This story (a Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winner) is considered one of his best and most affective works; it is a deeply moving play, full of heart and emotion. The director, Don Bachmann (from FCT’s “Steel Magnolias” and “Greater Tuna”) has struck a great balance between poignancy and humor in this great play about dysfunctional family dynamics. Bachmann also designed the intricate set that depicts a traditional living room of the 1940s. The action is filtered through the eyes of two Bronx wise-guys,15year-old Jay (Cameron Dean) and his ginger-topped brother, Arty (Jake Miller), who is two years younger. In New York City in 1942, Jay and Arty are forced to live temporarily with their unwelcoming Grandma Kunitz (Catherine Stuart) while their
now widowed father Eddie (Jim Constable) is forced to take a job on the road to pay off his wife’s medical debt from a loan shark. A steely Jewish refugee from Germany, Grandma lives above her candy store in Yonkers, but there’s nothing sweet about her. Stuart plays the loathsome character very well. Aunt Bella (Rebecca Heine), herself a little kooky, lives with and takes care of Grandma and is happy to have the boys move in. Eventually, shady Uncle Louie (Ricardo Padilla) arrives for a brief stay in order to evade some equally shady men who are looking for him, and the story truly begins to unfold. Rebecca Heine plays Bella with great care and tenderness. And though Grandma is mean and stubborn at the core, when we finally are able to investigate her history, the climax is a beautiful rendering of the difficult truths that lie at the core of both women. Dean and Miller (the two precocious teens) play off each other very well with their quick wit and sassiness. Gert (Dawn Gaynor), another adult sibling, is a complete nervous Nellie around her mother (grandma).
Gaynor shows great talent as she masters Gert’s quirks. Kudos to costume designer Micki Lindquist on a change for every one of the scenes; the ensembles fit both the period and the characters very well. FCT’s production of “Lost in Yonkers” includes nine performances
from Oct. 4 through Oct. 20. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $16 for students and seniors, and $18 for adults. More information and reserved seating for all of the performances is available online at www.FCTstage.org or by calling 540-349-8760.
The role of Eddie is played by Jim Constable while Jake Miller plays the part of Arty.

Happy Birthday, Phoebe! Staff Reports Eleanor Goodwin and her siblings are very proud of their mother, Phoebe Patton, who had a very special birthday celebration Sunday, Sept. 22. Phoebe has now joined the ranks of not only centenarians but one of an estimated 20,000 people over 105, according to the Actuarial Life Table for the United States. Phoebe Randolph Jones Patton of Midland celebrated her 105th birthday at a family gathering in Marshall. Phoebe, who participates in the Fauquier Silhouettes of Spring Fashion Show for cancer survivors, commented recently, “I never dreamed I would live so long.” Phoebe was born in Casanova in 1914 and married Allie Woodrow Patton in 1939 just a few months before the beginning of World War II. Mr. and Mrs. Patton were married for 70 years and managed a successful dairy farming business in southern Fauquier. She has six children: Robert R. Patton of Midland; Ann Patton Garmon of Marshall; Mary Allen Patton Lomax of Catlett; William C. Patton of Nokesville; Sally Patton Baffa of Warrenton; and Eleanor Patton Goodwin of Fairfax Station. She also has 10 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Phoebe enjoys playing checkers, indoor flower gardening, entertaining friends at her Elk Mount Farm home, and attending Mount Carm-
el Baptist Church. Another pastime of hers is reading over and over the many greeting cards she receives throughout the year. When asked about her longevity, Phoebe attributes that to faith, family and friendships. “She’s doing great,” said Goodwin.

Health Department offers free flu vaccination clinics in October The Rappahannock‐Rapidan Health District will conduct public health emergency exercises offering free flu shots in October. In Fauquier County, a clinic will be held starting at 4 p.m. on Oct. 17 at Liberty High School in Bealeton. At the clinic 150 doses of vaccine will be available, and will be offered free to anyone 3 years or older on a first‐come, first‐ served basis, until 7 p.m. or until the supply of flu vaccine runs out, according to a health department news release. “The purpose of these exercises is to simulate a mass vaccination event in which the health department and local agencies would work together so community members could be vaccinated efficiently during a time of emergency,” the news release said. Rappahannock‐Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps volunteers will assist health department staff with this exercise. The vaccine is provided by the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Emergency Preparedness.
“Getting your flu vaccine is the best way to protect you, your family, friends, and co‐workers from getting the flu,” RRHD Director Wade Kartchner said in the news release. “Practice good hygiene by frequently washing your hands or using alcohol‐based sanitizers when water is unavailable. Always cover your cough and sneezes, stay at home when you are sick, and limit your contact with others who are sick.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that influenza has resulted in as many as 49 million illnesses, up to 960,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 to 79,000 deaths annually in the U.S. since 2010, according to the news release. For more information about the flu, visit www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/influenza‐flu‐in‐ virginia/ or www.flu.gov.

Those horrible, despicable stink bugs are back. We captured a good number of those nasty insects with the water/dish detergent bottle, but not nearly enough of them. Please send them back to wherever they came from.
plays, the Aircare medical helicopter, demonstrations, food and more. This is a wonderful way to meet our great firefighters at the New Baltimore Fire and Rescue Company, learn what they do, and show your appreciation. Please send me news and events so we can help get the word out to our community. Thank you.

OBITUARIES William Thomas Patchett, Sr. William Thomas Patchett, Sr., passed away on Friday, September 27, 2019, at the age of 83. He was a remarkable man who loved life and loved his dear family; Eileen, his wife of 63 years; his five children, William T. Patchett, Jr. and Vera of Warrenton, Jane Coppage of Goldvein, VA, James J. Patchett and Mary Sue of Brentwood, TN, Crickett Henry and Hugh of China, and Linda M. Minter of Rock Hill, SC; and his brother, Donald Patchett and Robin of Colbert, WA. He leaves a beautiful legacy of 16 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Angela Patchett, his brother, David Patchett, and his son-in-law, JC Minter, Jr. Bill had a love for aviation from the time he was a young boy, riding his bicycle for many miles to the airport to wash small airplanes in the hopes that a pilot would give him a ride. He worked toward his dream as an aircraft mechanic with the Air National Guard. He later flew small aircraft, hauled freight and did all he could to build up his flying time with the goal of being a commercial airline pilot. Finally in 1964, his dream was realized when he was hired with Mohawk Airlines, which later became Allegheny Airlines; and his career culminated as captain with US Air. In addition to his flying career, Bill further enjoyed building and restoring airplanes, and he loved flying his PT-19 in the Flying Circus in Bealton, VA. Almost as much as he loved flying, he enjoyed rounds of golf with friends and riding on his Harley, including the annual Ride to the Wall. He volunteered his time and expertise in restoring computers for Haiti, as well as volunteering at Old Busthead. Throughout his life, Bill remained a man committed to his faith, a member of St. John’s in Warrenton, VA, for 48 years, and served with the Knights of Columbus. His family is eternally grateful and forever the better because of this man in their lives. He will be greatly missed. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. John’s Catholic Church, 271 Winchester Street, on Wednesday, October 2, at 11:00am, followed by a luncheon in the Parish Hall at noon. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

A SENSE OF PERMANENCE Cremation may reduce a body to ashes, but the place where those ashes are stored need not be any less physically enduring that a gravesite with a tombstone. While some people may assume that “cremains” are scattered to the wind or deposited in an urn for safekeeping at home, they may treated in the same ways that a body can. Not only can cremains be buried in a cemetery, but they can also be committed to a “cremation niche.” Whether it is located outdoors or as part of an indoor mausoleum, a “columbarium” has small spaces, called “niches,” for placing cremated remains in urns or other approved containers. Most cremation niches are made of marble or premium granite. Families have trusted MOSER FUNERAL HOME to care for their loved ones and to serve their family. We promise excellence in service and compassion during this difficult time of loss. To learn more about our funeral services, please call (540) 347-3431. We welcome you to 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.

George Thomas Wiser, Sr.
George Thomas Wiser, Sr., age 93, died peacefully at home Tuesday, September 24, 2019 at 5 o’clock in the afternoon on what was a beautiful, sunny, blue sky with large white puffy clouds, fall day. Born at home Thursday, July 8, 1926 in Broad Run, Virginia, George was the fifth of eight children whose parents were Mary Elizabeth (Bettie) Taylor and Clarence Ennis “Nick” Wiser. Except for his naval service in the Pacific in WWII, George lived his entire life in Broad Run. In his early years, he worked in construction, as a carpenter, building numerous houses throughout Northern Virginia, working on the American Legion (Cabin John) Bridge and Metrorail in the 1970s. After retirement from construction work in 1975, George began a long friendship with his cattle partner Nick Kotz. He was steward of Nick and his wife Mary Lynn’s and their son Jack’s farm Galemont until three years ago when he reluctantly retired after 38 years of service. George felt there was no place on Earth better than Broad Run in Fauquier County. George’s family has lived in Fauquier County since its founding so he is a true Fauquier County native and patriot. His third great-grandfather, Michael Wiser, fought on the Colonial side in the Revolutionary War. George is survived by his loving wife and companion of 54 years, Wanda Garlick Wiser, sons George Thomas Wiser, Jr., (Pamela) and Kevin Allen Hollins, daughter Dawn Garlick Ward (Victor Perez-Eger), sister Bertha Mae Nelson, five grandchildren, Kurtis Allen Hollins (Nicole), Justin Thomas Wiser (Kelsey Stewart), Kacey Amanda Hollins (Cody Quisinberry), Atticus James Ward, and William Augustus Ward and their father Robert C. Ward, and six great-grandchildren Kelci Alyvia and, Karaline Avril Hollins, Connor Dwayne and Miranda Lynn Holt, Harper Sue Quisinberry and Jackson Thomas Wiser, nieces Norma Burton, Linda Welk, Barbara Hoffman (Steve) , and nephews James Lunsford, Walter “Henne” Wiser, Ray Keith Wiser, Robert E. Nelson, and William Nelson. He is predeceased by his sisters Mollie Lunsford, Bessie Lunsford, Margaret “Bob” Gordon, Nancy Lee and brothers Walter Davenport Wiser and Raymond Wiser (Elaine) and niece Ramona Wiser. He is also survived by sisters-in-law, Charlotte Kidd (Leo), Gayle L. Gray (Stephen), Norma Jane Murphy (Reginald), brother’s-in-law, Chester Garlick (Carolyn), James B. Garlick (Michele), Michael E. Garlick (Suzanne), many other loving nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. Services to commemorate George’s life were held at Moser Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, VA 20186. Visitation was Sunday, September 29, 2PM-4PM and funeral was Monday, September 30 at 11AM. Interment was at Little Georgetown Cemetery in Broad Run followed by a reception at Bethel United Methodist Church, 6903 Blantyre Rd., Warrenton Va. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to FRAXA Research Foundation, 10 Prince Pl #203, Newburyport, MA 01950, https://www.fraxa.org, (978)-462-1866.
