Warrenton library back on the table?

Fauquier schools identify staff trained in mental-health first aid

Library board asks county to rethink funding delay

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Some 15 teachers sat in little chairs at little tables in the W.G. Coleman Elementary School library in Marshall recently for a meeting with Fauquier County schools senior administrators Major Warner and Amy Acor. The two had come to distribute purple lanyards, pins and stickers that say: “I INSIDE Business.............................................13 Classified............................................50 Communities......................................42 Faith...................................................46

The

Am Certified in YOUTH Mental Health First Aid” to the teachers who have completed mental health first aid and to encourage others to take it.

Virginia’s Department of Education allows local boards to issue up to 40 continuing education hours for taking the course, which is recertified every three years.

Members of the Fauquier County Library Board of Trustees want to see construction of a new library for Warrenton in the near term rather than sometime in the distant future.

The board on Thursday, Sept. 27, approved a request to the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors to put construction of a new library in the 2020-2024 fiscal years capital improvement budget. Departments had until Friday, Sept. 28, to request inclusion of projects in the five-year budget. The board of supervisors will consider the requests early next year when it considers its budget for the coming year.

A majority of supervisors voted earlier this year not to move forward with a new Warrenton library in light of other priorities. They moved the proposed project from the current funding cycle to the “future years” category with no certain year to proceed.

Given the passage of time and rising costs, what was once a $14.6 million project is now estimated at $18 million if built as envisioned.

“It’s the nature of the business.

The longer you delay the more expensive,” said Library Director Maria Del Rosso, during the trustees meeting.

Board of trustees asks county to rethink funding delay on new library LIBRARY from page 1 But whether the library board’s request to move forward more quickly with a new library will be well received by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors is an open question.

Board Chairman Chris Butler (Lee) said the supervisors will have to consider the library among other capital needs.

“It’s hard to say at this point.

There are other things coming down the pike,” Butler said Tuesday when asked if he thought the board might return the new Warrenton library to its five-year capital improvement plan.

Butler said the Goldvein fire sta-

tion needs to be upgraded or replaced, and the matter of what to do with Warrenton’s two aging middle schools – Warrenton and Taylor -- is still undecided.

“In my opinion, those would be priorities,” Butler said.

The library board is also asking the county to keep a library for New Baltimore in the future years’ category but updated its estimated cost from $9.8 million to $11 million.

In 2013, the supervisors postponed building a library for New Baltimore and put a new one in Warrenton in the five-year CIP budget. Opening a new library requires hiring staff, whereas replacing an old library with a new

one involves relocating existing staff.

That factored into postponing the New Baltimore project even though $450,000 had been spent on design and preliminary site work.

The library board also sees a need to raise its public profile, and last Thursday authorized applying for a PATH Foundation technical assistance grant to hire a public relations company.

Del Rosso said a community survey the library conducted found that many respondents were unaware of the services available at the library.

“Libraries have a wide range of resources and are still vitally needed” in this age, she said, noting questions have been raised about the need for libraries.

The public relations firm would develop a campaign to reach targeted audiences.

PATH technical assistance grants are capped at $25,000, and recipients must provide a 20 percent match.

If the grant is received, a request for proposals from marketing firms will be advertised Board member Elizabeth Henrickson abstained from voting for the PATH grant because she is director of administration and programs for PATH. She also abstained when the board authorized applying for a $7,000 Make It Happen PATH grant to purchase 20 wireless hot spots to lend to library patrons lacking inter-

net connection.

The Internet to Go program would enable patrons to use a Kajeet SmartSpot to connect to their computer or a Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone or tablet.

Del Rosso noted the Fauquier Public Schools have such a lending program but that the concept is “relatively” in the area new otherwise.

Still to be worked out is how long the hot spot equipment can be checked out and how much to charge for items overdue and or for damaged equipment. The equipment would be available at each of the library system’s branches – Warrenton, Marshall and Bealeton.

The grant, if approved by PATH, would cover purchase of the devices, supplies and the data plan for one year. The $5,000 in ongoing costs thereafter would be covered by funds from the library’s technology budget.

Signal strength will vary depending on location. The library system will be getting the Kajeet devices from Verizon, which provides the broadest coverage in the county. The Kajeet program allows for personalization of data and device controls.

Under the pooled data plan, each device will have a daily limit. Once the patron hits the limit, he/she will be blocked for 24 hours. Unused data is rolled over to the next month.

Weekend crash kills 28-year-old motorcyclist A 28-year-old West Virginia man was killed Saturday afternoon in a motorcycle crash involving a tractor-trailer truck on U.S. 17 south of Bealeton, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

The motorcycle operator has been identified as Jordan Douglas Placka, 28, of Burlington, West Virginia.

Placka was operating a 2010 Harley Davidson, according to a sheriff’s office press release.

The crash occurred about 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 29, in the northbound lanes of U.S. 17. A sheriff’s deputy operating a stationary radar in the 11700 block of U.S. 17, or Marsh Road, near Morgansburg Road, first spotted the motorcycle traveling southbound at 90 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone, the press release said.

The deputy waited for oncoming traffic to clear and then entered the southbound lanes. The deputy then put on his emergency lights to clear traffic and began following the motorcycle, but was not chasing the vehicle, as pursuing a high-speed motorcycle can be dangerous, said Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

The deputy then observed the mo-

torcycle make lane changes and then enter a crossover -- or a break in the road where U-turns are possible, Hartman said.

“He was not in pursuit,” Hartman said of the deputy. “He could only see the motorcyclist’s helmet and then lost sight of the motorcyclist in the crossover.”

The motorcycle turned into the northbound lanes. The deputy did not enter the northbound lanes but came upon the aftermath of the crash from the southbound lanes, Hartman said.

An initial investigation determined Placka lost control of the motorcycle in the crossover and “laid the motorcycle down in the north bound lanes,” the press release said.

“The operator was separated from the motorcycle and was struck by a tractor-trailer in the right northbound lane,” the press release said.

Placka was pronounced deceased at the scene. His body was transported to the office of the chief medical examiner for an autopsy, the press release said.

No charges have been filed in the case and it does not appear that they will be, Hartman said. However, the crash remains under investigation.

Columbus Day The offices of Fauquier County and Warrenton town government and the county libraries will be closed on Monday, Oct. 8 because of the Columbus Day holiday. Classes won’t be held in Fauquier County Public Schools. There won’t be trash collection in Warrenton.

Great Meadow Foundation eyes greener pastures ahead

By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

The Great Meadow Foundation, the nonprofit that operates the 374-acre sporting and event facility in The Plains, is restructuring its operation in hopes of eliminating significant debt or the need to file for bankruptcy.

That’s according to Great Meadow Board Chair Cate Magennis Wyatt, who confirmed Wednesday there had been discussions about bankruptcy among board members over the summer but said several positive financial developments in recent weeks have ended all such talk.

Now, less than a month before one of the venue’s signature events — the International Gold Cup, set to begin Saturday, Oct. 27 — Wyatt said she and her board have raised more than $435,000 in the last three months, mostly from private donations.

The board also re-negotiated two bank loans, totaling $386,000, with their respective lenders and drew up a new business plan to avert future losses. Wyatt indicated the foundation projects PHOTO BY BETSY BURKE PARKER $480,000 in operating losses in 2018.

Advisory group mulls leveling the hills on U.S. 29

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

An advisory board considering ways to improve two problematic intersections on U.S. 29 is considering an idea long thought unworkable: removing the hills just ahead of the traffic light at Vint Hill Road.

Leveling out those hills was initially considered too expensive and unlikely to receive state approval due to the need to alter an historically important landscape.

But it was an option that made it onto the whiteboard during the Thursday, Sept. 27, meeting of the Route 29-New Baltimore Advisory Panel.

The panel is comprised of area residents as well as representatives of government, businesses and the school division. It was formed earlier this year to find consensus on strategies to reduce congestion and improve safety along U.S. 29 while also providing access to homes and businesses.

Garrett Moore, VDOT chief engineer, offered possible solutions to problem areas panel members previously identified.

As for the hills, Moore said a cheaper way of lowering them could be explored.

As for concerns about changing the historic landscape, “It’s difficult to argue with safety” if it means taking them out,

said panel member Peter Eltringham.

In addition to the intersection at U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road, the group is also taking a close look at the intersection of U.S. 29 and Va. 600, also known as Broad Run Church and Beverleys Mill roads.

An initial plan for the intersection that proved unpopular would have eliminated all left turns at U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road to instead construct a U-turn design that incorporated what are sometimes called “Michigan lefts.”

Instead, the group is now discussing adding a left-turn lane from Vint Hill Road onto U.S. 29 and putting a traffic signal at a median break south of the intersection. Both ideas will get a closer look as ways to improve traffic flow and safety.

For the U.S. 29-Va. 600 intersection, the group discussed creating a left-turn lane from Va. 600 to U.S. 29 South; a left-turn lane from Va. 600 to U.S. 29 North; a left-turn lane from U.S. 29 South to Va. 600 East; and creating a safer right-turn onto Va. 600 for motorists traveling northbound on U.S. 29.

“We’ll see if what we said is possible and bring it back to you,” Moore said of the suggestions offered.

Part of the review will involve locating utility lines that could be in the path of any road work.

Marshall Ruritans celebrate new building Marshall Ruritan members opened the doors of their new home to the community on Saturday, nearly three years after a January 2016 snowstorm caved in the roof of their old meeting hall.

The $756,000 project resulted in the new building, which was constructed on the on the site of the old one at 8400 Salem Ave. It’s ready to host meetings, wedding receptions, parties and to serve as the precinct’s Jan Sickel voting site on Election Day. The main room of the new handicapped-accessible building measures 50 by 100 feet, and there is a kitchen.

Ruritan members grilled and served hamburgers and hot dogs to arriving guests during a Sept. 28 open house.

Ruritan district officials and Fauquier County Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel took part. The community is “thrilled to have this beautiful space again,” McDaniel said.

“We are back better than ever,” said Club President Jan Sickel.

Fauquier schools identify staff trained in mental-health first aid PURPLE from page 1

iff’s Office personnel have also been trained in mental health first aid, Lt. James Hartman said last week. And the department has committed to the national “One Mind Campaign,” which means they partner with local mental health organizations, develop policy for responding to people with mental illness, take courses and provide crisis-intervention training.

The nation’s worsening mental-health statistics are startling:

According to Fauquier County Schools Superintendent David Jeck, more than 900 school division employees have taken the training to date. This week, all county students will see videos that encourage them to approach any teacher or staff member wearing a purple lanyard if they feel stressed or sad.

The purple lanyard was chosen as a visual cue so students will know which teachers are trained and willing to help by discreetly addressing their concerns.

“The idea came from local students, Warner said. “They told us they needed a way to know who had the training; whom they could go to.”

Coleman Elementary teacher Megan Gardner got her purple lanyard that Monday. “The training has equipped me with tools and strategies that will allow me to support and communicate with individuals who may be struggling and need a safe space to speak as a first step in seeking help,” she said. “Having this training is just another way we can support and service the community that we love so much.”

• Suicide rates have gone up 30 percent since 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

• A recent American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry sampling found that 22.2 percent of adolescents ages 13 to 18 had a serious mental illness.

• And the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 19.1 percent of Americans has had an anxiety disorder within the last year, and that approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness in a given year.

Teaching ‘mental-health literacy’

The course being taken, both locally and nationally, is called Mental Health First Aid, and it contributes to widespread “mental-health literacy,” according to the team that produced it in Australia in 2000. The authors coined the phrase as well. The training became available in the U.S. in 2008 and was offered in Fauquier County in 2014.

The U.S. Mental Health First Aid website says the one-day workshop “teaches how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders.”

Now taught in 25 countries, it covers depression, anxiety problems, psychosis, substance use problems and crisis situations such as suicide, self-harm, panic attacks and overdoses.

In 2015, the U.S. federal government passed the Mental Health First Aid Act and allocated $20 million so first-responders, teachers, school administrators, primary care professionals, students and others could benefit from being able to “recognize the symptoms of common mental illnesses and substance use disorders, de-escalate crisis situations safely and initiate timely referral to mental health and substance abuse resources available in the community.”

Locally, the Fauquier County Mental Health Association administers the course. Anyone can sign up. When

“One in every 50 people in our community has received mental health first-aid training,” said Sally Morgan, executive director of Fauquier County Mental Health Association.

Reactions to the material have been positive, she said.

“This course has changed my whole perspective on mental health,” said one participant. “Everyone who works with children or adults should take this course to better understand what people are dealing with on a day to day basis,” added another.

Morgan said Fauquier County is ahead of other communities when it comes to such training.

“In terms of proactive mental health measures, Fauquier is truly on the cutting edge,” Morgan said, citing an “unusually strong and successful group of partners” in the community: “the Mental Health Association, the public schools, Fauquier Hospital, Fauquier Free Clinic, public and pri-

vate mental health providers, social services, the PATH Foundation, the Warrenton Town Police, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, advocacy groups, substance use and mental health recovery programs and parents.”

Also trained: Warrenton, Fauquier first-responders

In 2015, Warrenton police officers started taking three courses, said Warrenton Police Chief Daniel Boring.

They include: adult mental health first aid, youth mental health first aid and the initial critical incident training course.

“To my knowledge, there is no [state] requirement” to take the courses, Boring said, “However, this training is well supported by our town council, as it enables our officers to be better prepared to intervene in crisis situations and aids in the de-escalation of high stress and confrontational events.”

Thirty-eight Fauquier County Sher-

This past summer, Virginia and New York became the first U.S. states to pass laws mandating that mental health be taught in schools. The measure applies to grades 9 and 10 in Virginia, and all grades in New York.

Jeck’s office has produced three in-house, age-appropriate videos explaining what the purple lanyards mean. The video for older kids opens with black-and-white stills of empty school corridors, instrumental music heavy on the minor chords and footage of students – faces not fully visible – holding up hand-written signs.

“I feel useless; nobody likes me.

I’m not worth anyone’s time, nobody understands…” The actors are students and staff from Warrenton Middle School and Southeastern Alternative School.

After every four or five of the signs, color footage of a teacher wearing a purple lanyard cuts in saying, “I’m here for you,” or, “I’m here to help.”

As a pilot program, Liberty High School is offering a “safe room” for students who want to talk in private, Jeck said.

To view the secondary school video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ E1S-oG1eHHk To sign up for one of the Mental Health First Aid trainings, offered about once a month, go to the Fauquier Mental Health Association website www.fauquier-mha.org.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF ORDER ESTABLISHING FURTHER PROCEEDINGS TO IMPLEMENT ADJUSTMENTS IN RATES FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX OBLIGATIONS OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2018-00055

During its 2018 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Senate Bill 966 (the "Bill"). The Bill was signed into law by the Governor of Virginia on March 9, 2018, as Chapter 296 of the 2018 Acts of Assembly. The Bill became effective July 1, 2018.

Among its provisions, Enactment Clause 6 of the Bill directs the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") to: implement adjustments in the rates for generation and distribution services of incumbent electric utilities, as defined in § 56-576 of the Code of Virginia, effective April 1, 2019, to reflect the actual annual reductions in corporate income taxes to be paid by such utilities pursuant to the provisions of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-97) and as of the effective date of such act.

Enactment Clause No. 7 of the Bill directs, in advance of the Commission's determination as to rate reductions pursuant to Enactment Clause No. 6, Dominion Energy Virginia ("DEV" or "Company") to "reduce its existing rates for generation and distribution services on an interim basis, within 3-0 days of July 1, 2018" by an amount sufficient to reduce its annual revenues from such rates by an aggregate amount of $125 million " The amount of the identified rate reduction is "attributable to reductions in the corporate income tax obligations of the utility pursuant to the provisions of the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017[.]"

[DEV] effective April 1, 2019, pursuant to the sixth enactment of this act, the Com¬ission shall consider this interim revenue requirement reduction, and its actions shall be limited to a true-up of this interim reduction amount to the actual annual reduction in corporate tax obligations of such utility as of the effective date of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017...

Stewart, Kaine trade barbs in first televised debate

Cutting gang-prevention funding?

Crime stats lagging behind the state average?” Kaine said. “That’s been your record in Prince William, and that’s why your own Republican colleagues wouldn’t support you.”

Stewart shot back by accusing Kaine of “insulting” Prince William County, its schools and its teachers.

“You’re insulting my county of Prince William, Senator, and I’m not going to tolerate it,” Stewart said. “…We have over 90 schools, over 95,000 kids in our schools. Our kids in our schools are good. You would have people believe that they’re not good schools,” he added. “You’re insulting our school teachers. We’ve been hiring thousands of new teachers … partly because you got nothing done as governor…. We had to fend for ourselves.”

Prince William County has 95 schools and just more than 90,000 students.

At one point in the discussion, Rozell asked Stewart about “the two Corey Stewarts,” something he said he heard from David Ramadan, a former Republican state delegate who represented the 87th District, which includes part of Prince William County.

There is “the one Corey Stewart who entered Virginia politics as a pro-business, pro-establishment

figure and the other Corey Stewart, who has made immigration and Confederate statues his focus,” Rozell said.

“Ramadan tells me he thinks the second Corey Stewart is an act. Is he right? And who is the real Corey Stewart?” Rozell asked.

Stewart did not directly answer the question, saying only that he’s “stirred things up” while in office and acknowledging that some Republicans in the audience are supporting Kaine.

The audience included former Republican U.S. Sen. John Warner, who announced his endorsement for Kaine hours before the debate.

“You know why some of these Republicans are supporting him?

Because they know he won’t change anything in the United States Senate.

I will. I will stir things up and they know it,” Stewart added.

“That’s the difference. Now, the thing is, in Prince William County, yes, I’ve stirred things up. I had to twist a few arms, even break a few, to get things done. But I got things done.”

Stewart went on to say that during his term in office, Prince William has “hired hundreds of new firefighters, hundreds of new police, thousands of new teachers, built billions of dollars of new roads and schools and parks.”

Construction is expected to begin next year on Winchester Chase, a community of up to 70 new homes slated to be built off Winchester Street and North Court in Warrenton.

During a work session Thursday, Sept. 27, the Town of Warrenton’s Architectural Review Board and representatives from developer Ryan Homes discussed the details of the home designs, including the look of windows, doors, trim and exterior finishes.

While the developer has permission to build a total of 70 homes, 47 will be included in the first phase of construction. Of particular interest are four homes that will face Winchester Street and are in the town’s historic district.

The four will be on larger lots.

There will be just one point of entry and exit onto Winchester Street for the development, which will be located across from North Court. Those were changes sought by town planning staff, explained Town of Warrenton Planning Director Brandie Schaeffer.

or new construction occurring SCALE: 1” = 1,000’ within Warrenton’s historic district, which includes the central business district and five surrounding residential neighborhoods.

The buildings in the historic district reflect a variety of building types and styles. During work session, ARB members said more than once that the new homes shouldn’t be “cookie-cutter” structures that look alike.

The Ryan Homes representatives brought color illustrations of the homes’ exteriors, which showed a variety of finishes. The work session was held to gather ARB members’ suggestions, which the Ryan team will incorporate for another work session presentation planned in November.

ARB member Steve Wojcik said he thought it important for Ryan to “customize” the homes as much as possible “as opposed to standing out.”

But fitting in doesn’t mean each of the four new homes facing Winchester should look the same. The four homes facing Winchester will “speak to the gateway into the historic district. The neighborhood is quite eclectic,” said Warrenton Senior Planner Denise Harris.

The larger four lots will allow more design flexibility and creation of alleys, she said.

Garages will be side facing, rather than face Winchester. The homes will have Hardie plank siding, a cement board siding that comes in a variety of colors and textures. The doors will be made of Masonite, an engineered wood.

Asked about using stucco on some homes as a variation, Dale Mathies, Ryan production manager, said stucco isn’t something the company considered. Incorporating some brick is a possibility, though, he said. Differences in shutters, trim and elevation will give the homes different appearances.

ARB member Laura Bartee suggested using brick or stone elements, perhaps stone columns, and shed roofs over garages as features to provide variety and depth. Wojcik suggested varying the look of roofs and porches.

The Ryan team said there will be a monument sign to mark the development, but its placement will not obscure sightlines.

“We’re trying to focus now on these first homes. We want to make sure they look good and then figure

out how to incorporate that inside the community,” said Brett Sechler, Ryan’s division manager.

At the conclusion of the work session, Sechler said, “We feel more comfortable now than when we got here.”

The houses in Winchester Chase will have four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. They are expected to be priced in the high-$400,000s.

Construction could start in the summer of 2019.

The ARB will decide on issuing a certificate of appropriateness. The developer will also need site plan approval from the town.

Winchester Chase was the focus of a dispute between property owner Jeff Rizer and the Town of Warrenton several years ago that led to him filing suit before a settlement was reached.

Rizer claimed the town illegally attached conditions after the planning commission recommended approval.

As a point of explanation, Schaeffer said the layout proposed by Winchester Chase is part of the court settlement and that “we have to work with the developer.” It is a “by-right development,” she said.

Rizer said he thinks “this is a much better layout. It gives more open space and there’s less earth moving” than they original layout.

More homes beyond the initial 47 may be built depending on how the first phase sells, Rizer said.

Another data center at Vint Hill?

Plan would peg 80 acres for commercial development

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County officials are considering whether to allow an additional data center to be built at Vint Hill, the former U.S. Army base that’s now home to 300 residences, a winery, a brewery and other businesses.

Residents expressed opposition to a proposal to build more homes on the 695-acre tract.

Now, Vint Hill Village LLC and Vint Hill Land 1, LLC, private entities that oversee development of Vint Hill, are seeking the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors’ permission to change the existing development plan to allow a second data center, as well as possibly a warehouse, distribution-center or office space, on about 80 undeveloped acres north of Vint Hill Parkway.

The application asks for an additional 751,265 square feet of commercial development, raising the total to approximately 3.9 million square feet. It also seeks a 25-acre reduction of required open space, cutting it from 170 to 155 acres.

The Fauquier County Planning Commission heard an introduction of the proposal during a meeting Thursday, Sept. 20.

“You won’t be hearing anything more from me or the applicant about residential,” Charles Floyd, of Welford Engineering Associates, told the planning commissioners.

Floyd noted the site for the proposed 1.4 millionsquare-foot data center would be across the street from the site of the Puller Veterans Care Center, a long-term and rehabilitative residential and nursinghome-style center scheduled to open in 2021. An op-

tional configuration shows fewer data center buildings and the addition of office buildings that could serve as medical offices.

The rezoning application is being reviewed by staff in the county’s community development department.

It will be brought back to the planning commission for a public hearing before a recommendation is made to county supervisors. The supervisors will hold a public hearing before they take a vote.

“From a tax standpoint this is a positive,” said Fauquier County Planning Commissioner Bob Lee, who represents the Marshall District, of the request.

“It seems like this will be an economic opportunity for the county and what Vint Hill was intended to be,” he added.

Lee noted that data centers, which don’t need a large workforce, will have less impact on traffic than other types of development.

Floyd said he would be happy to provide a traffic analysis to prove that roads serving the site don’t need to be widened. Approval for private, rather than public, roads and alleys within the site is also sought.

NOVEC substation sought

There will be an open house at Vint Hill on Tuesday, Oct. 9, for data center company representatives, investors and developers “to look at what we’ve got,” Floyd said.

Floyd explained that data centers need power, fiber and cooling. Power needs at Vint Hill will be addressed by NOVEC, which is seeking a special exception permit for a new substation at Vint Hill.

A fiber line is coming to Vint Hill by way of Linton Hall Road in adjacent Prince William County, and the cooling can come from either water or air, Floyd said. The county requires data centers to use recycled “gray water.”

Floyd said Vint Hill will be marketed to both government- and privately-owned data centers.

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC A scene from Vint Hill.

“We’re marketing the property at $300,000 an acre,” lower than either the $500,000 to $700,000 per acre he said land is going for in Prince William County. Land is even more expensive in Loudoun County, Floyd said.

Matthew Smith, Cedar Run District representative on the planning commission, noted the proximity of the proposed data center site to Va. 215, also known as Vint Hill Road. There will be green space along that border and additional screening is a possibility, he was told.

Vint Hill Farm Station is a former Army communications intercept base. In 1999, the Fauquier Board of Supervisors approved using the 695-acre tract as a planned commercial, industrial and residential development district.

A total of 300 single-family homes have been built, and a little more than 645,000 square feet of commercial and industrial space has been occupied.

A majority of the land remains undeveloped.

“We are hopeful the proposed changes requested with this application, when combined with the availability of public and private utilities, will help spur the development of land bays A, B and K within Vint Hill, which in turn will help facilitate the development of the rest of the park,” states the applicant’s justification for the proposed changes.

Charlottesville men arrested in auto thefts, thefts from unlocked vehicles Two Charlottesville men have been arrested, and warrants issued on a third, in connection with two automobile thefts and a string thefts from unlocked vehicles in Fauquier County, according to a sheriff’s office press release.

Using a homeowner’s surveillance footage, detectives developed a suspect and located the two stolen vehicles in Albemarle County near Charlottesville, the press release said.

On Monday, Sept. 17, sheriff’s deputies took a report of stolen 2012 Jeep Cherokee from a residence on Hale Street in Bealeton. On Thursday, Sept. 20, deputies took another report of a stolen 2014 Mercedes from a residence on Lucy Avenue near Warrenton, the press release said.

Additionally, during this time period, deputies took numerous reports of personal property

taken from unlocked vehicles in neighborhoods in Bealeton, Warrenton and New Baltimore, the press release said.

Working jointly with Albemarle County, Charlottesville police, the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and Virginia State Police, the two Charlottesville men were arrested and warrants filed for the third man’s arrest, the press release said.

Christopher Anderson, 20, and Irving Thomas Jones, 19, both of Charlottesville, were charged with five counts of grand larceny and other charges for the theft of the Jeep and Mercedes, a firearm, landscaping equipment and a purse in connection with the incidents.

Police are still looking for Evan Raquan Yates, 19, of Charlottesville, on similar charges, the press release said.

Bealeton man injured in Maryland hit-and-run crash A 53-year-old Bealeton man who was working on a road construction project in Maryland was struck and seriously injured by a hit-and-run driver early Monday morning.

Maryland State Police investigators are asking the public’s help to try to identify the vehicle and its driver, according to a police press release.

Johnathan Wright, 53, of Bealeton, was transported to University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center after the accident, which occurred shortly after 2 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 1, the press release said.

His condition was not immediately available.

Maryland state troopers responded to a 911 call reporting a pedestrian struck on the ramp from southbound Interstate 295 to northbound Interstate 95/495, the press release said.

According to a preliminary investigation, the victim was working with a crew on the ramp as a subcontractor for the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration, the press release said.

The victim got out of the work vehicle, walked into a travel lane of the ramp and was struck by a black vehicle that left the scene, the press release said.

The vehicle was last seen traveling on the ramp from southbound Interstate 295 to northbound Interstate 95/495.

State police investigators are hoping anyone with information will come forward. Callers may remain anonymous.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Maryland State Police Forestville Barrack at (301) 568-8101.

This investigation is still active and ongoing.

Anderson and Jones are currently being held without bond at the Charlottesville-Albemarle regional jail, the press release said.

In addition to recovering the two stolen autos, detectives also recovered all firearms taken from vehicles in Fauquier County; and landscaping equipment and miscellaneous personal items taken from unlocked vehicles in Fauquier.

Multiple other items were recovered related to thefts in other jurisdictions to include vehicles and firearms, the press release said.

Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier expressed his “sincere appreciation” to the other law-enforcement agencies, “which led to the quick apprehension of these suspects and the safe recovery of stolen property,” the press release said. The investigation is ongoing.

Bealeton man charged for distributing drugs, engaging in sexual activity with underage girl he met online A 46-year-old Bealeton man was arrested Friday after Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office deputies received a tip he was engaging in sexual activity and giving marijuana to an underage female he met online, according to a sheriff’s office press release.

Fauquier County deputies initiated an investigation last week after receiving a tip from the Northern Virginia/District of Columbia Internet Crimes Against Children taskforce regarding possible child exploitation in Fauquier County.

A search warrant executed at the suspect’s Bealeton residence recovered “a significant amount of marijuana from the home and a ve-

hicle,” the press release said.

Robert Warren McMeans, Jr, 46, of Bealeton, was taken into custody Sept. 28 during a traffic stop in the Bealeton area in connection with the investigation, the press release said.

McMeans was charged with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and three felonies for possession with the intent to distribute marijuana and distributing marijuana to a minor.

“McMeans apparently met the female online and cultivated her through social media,” the press release said.

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is a participating member of the ICAC taskforce.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Finally, good news on mental illness: Teachers, first-responders are learning how to help When several Fauquier teachers received purple lanyards last week certifying they had completed a Mental Health First Aid course, it marked a quiet, proactive effort by the county to tackle the problem of mental illness, a reality of modern life broadly acknowledged to be at the root of gun violence, drug addiction and other evils.

The lanyards quickly identify teachers and staff who have taken the one-day course designed to give participants the tools to recognize signs of mental illness. The lanyards came at the request of students: They wanted a way to know whom to turn to if they need help.

The county has administered the course since 2014, first through federal grants and later with OUR VIEW funds provided by the PATH Foundation. Sally Morgan, executive director of Fauquier County Mental Health Association, claims one in every 50 people in the community have received the training.

According to Fauquier County Public Schools Superintendent David Jeck, more than 900 school system employees have taken the non-mandatory training.

Additionally, 21 Warrenton police officers have taken the training as have 38 employees in the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

Morgan listed Fauquier’s Mental Health Association, Fauquier Hospital, Fauquier Free Clinic, public and private mental health providers, social services, advocacy groups, substance use and mental health recovery programs and parents among those who are partnering to tackle the issue locally.

Neighboring Prince William County has its own strategy for addressing mental health concerns, including training events designed to build a team of facilitators certified to train school staff, and a slate of new workshops, courses and training videos to augment existing courses.

The metrics of mental illness across the nation are startling: • In the last two decades, suicide rates peaked more than 30 percent in half of the country, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

• A recent American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry sampling found that 22.2 percent of adolescents ages 13 to 18 had a serious mental illness.

• National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 19.1 percent of Americans has had an anxiety disorder within the last year.

• Approximately one in five adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness in a given year, according to the National Alliance on Mental Health.

We applaud these efforts. While the debate may rage on without end at the national level over the causes of mental illness and related issues, grassroots efforts that tackle issues locally, tailored to the needs of the community, will always be our best hope.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES

By December 1960, cabinet maker Z. V. Royston of Marshall had finished the work on a 1941 Model A Ford with a rotten back end, converting it to a “ranch wagon style” pickup truck. Wiring on the unique vehicle was done by his son, Aaron, and his son-in-law, Woodrow Williams, did the engine work.

75 Years Ago Oct. 7, 1943 Three brothers, sons of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Kendrick of Warrenton, are all in the Army. Hubert, 19, is with the amphibious engineers in California; John, 21, at Camp Van Dorn, Miss.; and Vernon, 18, is at Fort Bragg, N.C. Fauquier County’s purchases in the Third War Loan campaign has reached $864,970.25, with the final returns not yet in, according to P. G. Marstellar, chairman.

Pvt. John T. Crupper Jr. is in a hospital in England under treatment for injuries suffered in a truck collision, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Crupper Sr. of Washington, were notified last week.

Much hate and intolerance come from the left

Women must be heard

For all the talk from the left and progressive Democrats decrying hate and intolerance, I’m struck that most of the examples of hate, vitriol and intolerance I see in our society are mostly from people who classify themselves as progressives, with some of the worst examples being politicians.

A fellow resident of The Plains wrote who was disappointed in those who would politicize the Mollie Tippett slaying by an illegal immigrant. Despite the fact that the left has raised politicizing events to an art form, her argument ignores a simple truth — if the illegal immigrant who murdered Ms. Tippett hadn’t been here, as he wasn’t supposed to be, she might still be alive — period. It has nothing to do with his race. And there’s no bigotry or hate in wanting to control our border. If there is, then I submit that any barrier to control access anywhere — a gated community, no trespassing signs on your property, controlled access to private schools, clubs, and even our public schools, which control access according to where you live — are also examples of hatred and bigotry. Ridiculous.

But the worst part is the incessant labeling. If you disagree with progressive narratives, you are instantly labeled a bigot, a racist, a hater. Discussion is not tolerated or allowed. It’s suppressed with hateful speech, actions, accusations, and even violence (Antifa). It’s simply

a ploy to avoid rational dialog, shut down free speech and to pander to diverse communities. And make no mistake. We are not cowed by this tactic any longer. The left has thrown out the racist/hater/bigot labels like candy.

My fellow resident and I would likely get along fine, but without even knowing me, because we disagree, I am instantly labeled a bigot and a hater in the abstract.

And I read today that former Vice President Biden has exceeded Hillary Clinton’s “deplorable” comment. According to Biden, Trump supporters — American citizens. Me. Many of you — are “virulent, dregs of society.” Leslie Cockburn, Democrat candidate for the 5th District, said at a rally Sunday that President Trump has made it acceptable to be a racist again. Again, labeling people racists according to their pronouncements with no evidence. This is what they do when they can’t win the argument on the issues. When you vote in November, not only pay attention to the booming economy, the lowest unemployment rates in history for African Americans and Hispanics (policies that actually help these communities) and more. Think of where we’ll be if the totalitarian suppressors of free speech regain power.

“Who’s doing whom?”

Denver Riggleman made that off-hand comment at the end of last week’s 5th District Congressional forum with Leslie Cockburn. But the audience called him out. Many people — men and women — responded to his attempt at a sexually suggestive joke, some even booing.

It upset me then, but I didn’t give it much thought until today when I read the latest allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

Although Riggleman has called for an investigation of the first allegation against Kavanaugh (Fauquier Times, Sept. 20), his primary focus is whether or not the allegation is being used for political gain.

Our first concern should be whether or not a man who has been nominated for the highest court has such disregard for women.

Riggleman frequently talks

about his wife and daughters. Does he consider other people’s wives, daughters, mothers, sisters?

I cannot imagine the courage of the women who have made accusations against Kavanaugh. As your article pointed out, Leslie Cockburn can: “’I have great admiration for Dr. Ford and her courage to come forward. Many of us remember Anita Hill and her shabby treatment by members of Congress. Dr. Ford’s allegation of attempted rape deserves a full hearing. Assaulting a 15-year-old girl is not a youthful indiscretion,’ Cockburn’s tweet said.”

I have five granddaughters. I want them growing up in a world where women are heard. There is only one person running in Virginia’s 5th District who will fight for that, and that person is Leslie Cockburn.

Voters undecided about their choice for Virginia’s 5th District House of Representatives race can learn much by watching the videos posted by the two candidates, Leslie Cockburn and Denver Riggleman, on the candidates’ respective websites. Ms. Cockburn’s videos show her learning directly from Virginia 5th District residents about their real-world problems and discussing solutions in an empathetic exchange of views; Mr. Riggleman’s videos are traditional, facing the camera and

promising what he will do if elected.

The personality and manner projected by Ms. Cockburn seems, to me, the kind of representative we need to both help Virginia 5th District residents with practical solutions and bring a bipartisan healing approach to productively bridge our differences. Plus Ms. Cockburn is taking zero PAC money. But take a look and decide for yourself.

If you think that Social Security and Medicare are good and necessary programs, you should support the political party which created them and not support the party which wants to cut them. If you are between the ages of 21 and 64 and think that affordable health care is a good and necessary thing, you should support the party which created it and not support the party which is finding indirect ways to derail it. If you think that supreme court judges should favor individual rights over corporate rights, you should support the party which believes that people’s personal rights are more important. If you think that it is possible to live on a minimum wage of $7.25 per hour ($14,500 per year) you would be sadly mistaken. That would cover $750 in monthly rent, a $200 car payment, and $250 for food, with nothing left for dependents, clothing, gas, incidentals, taxes, or insurance. If you think that increasing the minimum wage is a good thing,

you should support the party which agrees with you, and not the party which wants to cut it. If you would like to see corporate tax loopholes closed, you should support the party which wants to do just that and not the party which just gave them a huge windfall. If you think that clean water and clean air are god given and worth protecting, you should support the party which wants to keep them clean.

We are privileged to live in America and we have a responsibility to participate in our representative democracy by voting. We have excellent candidates in Senator Tim Kaine and Leslie Cockburn running this November. These candidates are committed to the above ideals.

Please vote. If you don’t vote for your ideals, others will vote for different ones.

A Letter to the Editor, Sept. 26, 2108, has caught my attention. It ends with, “It is incumbent upon On another note, hats off to who- voters to elect and keep people of ever wrote the editorial “A reminder their moral quality in Congress.” that policing is a tough, sometimes (emphasis mine). “Their,” in this deadly job.” Excellent and about case refers to Sen.

Indeed, they were vulnerable to weapons like IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices), vulnerable to RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and vulnerable to EFPs (explosively formed projectiles) —vehicles all too easily blown up even with armor that had gone on for years in Iraq.

What protected our troops far better was the later development of MRAPs (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected). Vehicles championed by then Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, which became his preoccupation, who had to battle the bean counters in congress, not to mention even some in the military hierarchy. It became one of his stalwart achievements during his tenure.

Last, I hesitate to cast moral judgment upon Ms. Cockburn’s remarks, but I do regard them as rather questionable in this case.

I was positioned to vote for Riggleman but have now decided against it with his take on this issue. First of all, he vacillates back and forth, so to be catering to both sides of the aisle, but more importantly, the last thing we need is another investigation! A hearing yes, where both the accuser and Judge Kavanaugh can testify, but an investigation? What in the world would they investigate? Her story alone? Taking up valuable time and our tax dollars for no real gain. I see this as a stall tactic on the part of the Democrats and the earlier we stop caving in to their nefarious activities, the earlier we will be able to stop some of this ridiculous resistance.

Farm Station Café opens at Vint Hill New restaurant joins businesses at Vint Hill Farms Station

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

“Real food, simple comfort” is the motto of the new Farm Station Café, and the concept was already catching on during the first weeks after its Sept. 12 opening.

A line formed on a Friday, as a lunchtime crowd filed in to place orders. The diners were standing in a building once used by the U.S. Army when it operated a communications monitoring and decoding center at Vint Hill.

The café is the latest business to call Vint Hill home. It joins a winery, brewery, inn and coffee shop, among others.

Julie Criner had already dined at the café five times in nine days. The Warrenton resident brought a friend, Kerry Madigan, for her first visit on Sept. 21.

“The atmosphere and the food” spurred Criner’s repeated visits.

“And they have good food for the kids,” she added.

Criner was having a rosemary biscuit with egg, cheese and avocado this day. During another visit she had a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich – dubbed the BeeLT because it’s made with honey-cured bacon. She’s also had a salad, of which there are several variations to choose from “I will come back for dinner,” Criner pledged.

Madigan ordered a BeeLT with the house potato chips.

“It’s delicious and the house chips are crunchy,” Madigan said. “The coffee is delicious, too.”

Farm Station Café’s “real food” starts with fresh meat from Whiffletree Farm and Junco Hill Farm, both in Warrenton, and greens from TrueFarms in Haymarket.

“The greens are so fresh. I can really tell the difference,” said Pam Symington, director of sales and marketing at A La Carte, a catering and event design concern with an office adjacent to Farm Station Café.

Karen Baker heads both ventures.

She said she started the café with the goal of providing nutritious food in a relaxed environment. In good weather, diners can sit on a patio in front of the café. Indoor seating is in a spacious dining room off the space where orders are taken.

The kitchen staff can be seen preparing the food through a window.

“People love that they can see the cook preparing from scratch,” Baker said.

Matt Mize is the culinary director for both the café and A La Carte. He’s

Owner Karen Baker and Culinary Director Matt Mize have seen many returning customers and others who are discovering the Farm Station Café for the first time. a former Marine who served in Somalia and in the Middle East during Desert Storm. He graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and was the personal chef for the Marine Corps commandant. He had his own restaurant in Cleveland called Mizestro.

“We want as much local [food] as possible. We went out to the farms.

We wanted everything to be fresh,” Mize said. “There are not artificial ingredients and we grill on the spot.”

He’s planning to offer a selection of meals-to-go, which he’s dubbing MREs after the military’s Meals Ready to Eat for troops in the field.

The café’s menu lists breakfast grill and mid-morning snacks such as grilled-egg sandwiches, sweet potato biscuits, honey yogurt parfait and rolled or steel oatmeal.

There’s a pastry case with scones, pies, cakes, croissants, cheesecake and more.

Golden gazpacho served in a 12-ounce bowl is a seasonal soup of the day. A chicken saffron noodle soup can also be ordered. Both are priced at $3.95.

A salad without protein is available at $7.95. Add chicken or flank steak and the order comes to $11.95 or add grilled salmon for $12.95.

The selection of sandwiches – beef, turkey, pastrami, chili honey-cured bacon, ham, salami, chicken and tuna caper salad – can be ordered on house-made focaccia, baguette, wrap, croissant, hoagie roll, housemade sunflower, multi-grain, mar-

ble rye or gluten-free bread. Each is $7.95 and comes with house potato chips and pickled vegetable slaw.

Burgers are made from Whiffletree Farm’s organic grass-fed GMOfree beef. Variations carry such names as The Whiffleburger, The Worker Bee, The Drone Bee and the Queen Bee and the BeeLT. There’s a kid’s menu and grab ‘n go sandwiches, salads and snacks.

There are daily specials, which include cod fish cakes, empanadas and pulled pork.

Beverages include iced tea, freshly squeezed lemonade, hot tea, organic milk, Orange County roasted coffee as well as specialty coffees.

Non-meat eaters can order a veggie burger.

The full menu, daily specials and a list of special events like cooking classes, wine dinners and an Oktoberfest, can be found on the farmstationcafe.com. Takeout orders can be placed online.

On Wednesday, Sept. 26, a ribbon-cutting was held as part of the Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce welcoming ceremony. Young girls dressed as honey bees delighted guests by handing out small bottles of honey and chocolate chip cookies.

Guests were treated to a bourbon-infused apple cider drink.

The atmosphere was festive despite, at times, pouring rain outside.

Samplings of food were everywhere and special culinary treats could be found in the lavish and large kitchen area. Looking like an egg yolk on hash

browns, this dish was actually liquid mango on a bed of fennel – testament to the chef’s creativity. From the rave reviews from those attending, Baker’s café is off to a grand start.

The Farm Station Café is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday brunch will be offered eventually, Baker said.

Can you count on a bountiful investment ʻHarvestʼ?

We’re officially into autumn – the season when we bring in what we planted in the spring. But the concept of planting and gathering isn’t confined to agriculture. In fact, it can be used in many walks of life, including investing. So, what can you do to help work toward a successful investment “harvest”?

Here is (not quite) a bushel of ideas: • Plant the right seeds. When farmers plant specific crops, they know about what to expect – how long it will take for them to grow, how much yield they’ll produce

SARAH ATKINS and so on. When you invest, you too need to plant seeds by choosing investments that are designed to help meet your goals. For example, to accumulate enough money for a comfortable retirement, you will probably need to own a reasonable

percentage of growth-oriented vehicles, such as stocks. You generally can’t expect the type of growth you need by investing solely in fixed-income investments, such as bonds and certificates of deposit.

• Nurture your crops. Agricultural workers are diligent about cultivating their crops through proper irrigation, fertilization and weed control. And if you want to keep your investment portfolio healthy, you also must find ways to nurture it. First of all, you will need to keep adding new dollars regularly because the larger your overall investment base, the more you can expand its growth potential. But you might also need to do some weeding of your own because over the years, you may have purchased some investments that, for one reason or another, are now no longer suitable for your needs. If that’s the case, you might be better off selling these investments and using the proceeds for new ones that could fill gaps in your portfolio.

• Diversify. Farmers may plant a mix of crops: corn, soybeans, flax, legumes, fruits and so on.

Consequently, if one crop fails, it won’t sink the farmer’s entire business. As an investor, you, too, need to diversify, because if you only own one type of asset class, and a financial downturn hits that

asset, your portfolio can take a big hit. But spreading your dollars among stocks, bonds, cash and other investments can help reduce the impact of market volatility on your holdings. (However, diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against all losses.)

Thus far, we’ve looked at ideas on how you can create a healthy investment crop. But once it’s time to actually start harvesting your portfolio – that is, once you begin liquidating parts of it to support yourself during your retirement years – you also need to act carefully. Specifically, you need to establish a withdrawal rate that’s appropriate for your situation, based on your age, lifestyle, income sources and other factors. You could be retired for two or three decades, so it’s essential you don’t withdraw so much during your early years of retirement that you risk outliving your money.

A financial professional can help you determine the rate that’s right for you.

The agricultural harvest season only lasts a few weeks. But doing a good job of growing and managing your investment crop can help you reap the rewards far into the future.

Playing twice in a row in Bealeton, Fauquier’s Ruby Wrigley beat Kettle Run and Liberty with game-winning goals last week. The Falcons are 6-1 and lead the Northwestern District field hockey standings at 2-0.

FALCONS THRIVE AT ‘WRIGLEY FIELD’ Junior's second straight game-winner occurs in friendly confines of Bealeton

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Maybe they should start calling it Wrigley Field.

Fauquier’s field hockey team won for the second time in three days on Liberty’s artificial turf field, beating Liberty 1-0 last Thursday on a goal

by Ruby Wrigley.

She had three goals two days earlier when Fauquier won 4-0 over Kettle Run in a game moved to LHS due to a water-logged Falcon Field.

Against Liberty, the junior midfielder/forward scored four minutes into the second half as Fauquier improved to 6-1, 2-0 in the Northwestern District, while LHS is 2-6, 0-1.

Wrigley set up near the post for a shot or rebound opportunity and was in ideal position to whack home a sharp drive from Madison Filson, who dodged three Eagle defenders before uncorking.

“I just swept it in,” Wrigley said.

The textbook redirection was

Wrigley’s seventh goal of the year and third game-winner.

“Ruby again was working really, really hard,” said Falcon coach Brooke Settle.

Settle praised Meredyth Rankin for distributing the ball from her midfield slot and Ashley Maldonado’s overall defensive play. Filson was also singled out. The 2017 second-team all-state selection had a role in all four Falcon goals last week, and her drives and dribbling ability often trigger the transition from defense to offense.

“Filson is in a dynamite spot right now. She’s helping to keep the team together,” Settle said.

Light to moderate rain plagued first-half play, leading to a scoreless tie at intermission.

Following Wrigley’s goals, Liberty put together a consistent offensive push, forcing several penalty corners. Falcon goalie Taylor DeHaven often roamed into the circle to knock away threatening passes or cut off

“Ruby again was working really, really hard.”

angles for shots.

“I will tell you Liberty was good,” Settle said, citing the Eaglesʼ athleticism and ball movement.

“I think it was two pretty even keeled teams. Their goalie did some amazing things.”

“I thought we played well,” Liberty coach Katie Norman said. “We forced the action and had our chances,” she said, specifically disappointed with the missed second-half chances.

Filson said playing on artificial turf is usually “a difficult transition considering our home field is such a thick and slow surface but we really stepped it up and made the most of the opportunity.”

JV game ends 1-1

The Falcon junior varsity pulled a

tie out of the jaws of defeat, as Stefanie Fisher scored with two seconds left in the game for a 1-1 draw. She converted a pass by Ella Tedeschi.

Liberty’s Alex Palizzi had given the Eagles a 1-0 first-half advantage.

FALCONS COULD USE A RIVALRY WIN VS. COUGARS

By Jeff Malmgren

Advantage Cougars

Times Staff Writer

Joe Prince’s lament following a Week 6 overtime loss that kept his Fauquier team winless this season could also apply to his history against rival Kettle Run, which the Falcons visit Friday.

“We’ve had our chances to win some games,” Prince said Monday after the 13-6 loss to Handley dropped Fauquier to 0-5.

The Falcons have lost five consecutive games against Kettle Run, many by narrow margins during Prince’s tenure.

Last season, the Cougars won 2120 after Fauquier failed to convert a two-point conversion with 52 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

In 2016, the Falcons took a 14-0 lead by halftime before losing 28-14, and the 2015 showdown went to overtime before the Cougars won 13-7.

“It’s a good rivalry game,” Prince said. “That’s what high school football is all about.”

Cougars coach Charlie Porterfield agreed.

“There’s certainly a heightened sense of excitement,” Porterfield said. “There’s always something

special about the week anytime you play somebody else in the county.”

The Falcons are preparing to play arguably the best Kettle Run team (60) since 2011 and 2012 when the Cougars made the Group AA Division 3 state semifinals.

Kettle Run is 7-4 all-time against the Falcons, but four of last seven games were decided by no more than seven points each. Last season, the Cougars took a 21-14 lead on a 64-yard touchdown drive and twopoint conversion run with only 1:47 remaining in the fourth. But Fauquier responded with an 80-yard touchdown drive in only 56 seconds.

Prince decided to try to win the game rather than kick an extra point that would force overtime. However, the two-point conversion pass fell incomplete.

“It went down right to the wire, the way a good rivalry game should,” said Prince.

Kettle Run finished 9-3, the Falcons 2-8.

“They’re a team that I think is on the verge of figuring it out,” Porterfield said. “They looked significantly better against Handley.”

Fauquier led the Judges most of the game, 6-0, but Handley scored early in the third quarter and again in overtime.

“We’ve done some good things,” Prince said. “We just haven’t found a way to win yet, and we’ve got to get over that hump. It’ll go a long way if we can win a game.”

Fauquier kept the Judges in check thanks, in part, to its ball-control based triple-option offense. Handley averaged 27.2 points per game entering that match-up.

“You can’t let them get up and control the clock and kind of dictate the pace of the game,” Porterfield said of the Falcons.

day with a momentous 44-22 win over Millbrook last week. The Cougars held the Pioneers under 28 points for the first time this fall after Millbrook (4-2) went undefeated during the 2017 regular season to earn the No. 1 spot in the final region standings.

“That’s pretty impressive,” said Prince, whose Falcons loss to Millbrook 51-26. “They put it to Millbrook.

They’ve beat some good teams.”

“That was big for us, I think, to take that step,” Porterfield said of beating the Pioneers. “They’ve been one of the better teams – and probably still are.”

With 44 points against Millbrook, the Cougars average 37 points per game with a nice balance of moving the ball via runs and passes.

“You can’t worry about both,” Prince said of Fauquier’s defensive approach. “You’ve got to try to take away something.”

Coming off bye week, Eagles host Wood for Homecoming

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The rivalry dates back to 2001, but the James Wood Colonels have never scored more than 13 points against Liberty’s football team.

In fact, they average only 3.1 points per game in seven contests against the Eagles.

So Liberty will try to continue that dominance Fri-

day when it hosts Wood for Homecoming.

Both are 2-3.

“Liberty defenses play hard and physical,” said Eagles coach Sean Finnerty, whose team has allowed only 22 points all-time against the Colonels. But “we will need to tackle better this week to keep that number low.”

The Eagles have uncharacteristically allowed 28.6

points per game, which includes a 55-21 loss to Sherando two weeks ago.

“We give effort,” Finnerty said. But “we need to work on executing and finishing plays.”

James Wood similarly lost to Sherando 65-6. Also like Liberty, the Colonels enter Week 7 after a bye last weekend. They lost to Hedgesville 45-20 on Sept. 21.

Offensively, James Wood uses the triple option, so the Eagles must stay disciplined defensively.

Liberty’s offense, meanwhile, will try to continue the production that has given it 26.8 points per game this fall. The Colonels’ defense will pose some challenges, though.

Guiney’s goals lead Owls over Hawks 2-1 in soccer

Times Staff Writer

Some challenging matches against Kettle Run and Loudoun Valley proved a distraction for Fauquier volleyball coach Diana Story last week.

But the Falcons won both District to run their standings winning streak FAUQUIER 5-0 to seven.

Millbrook 5-1 “Playing Ket- James Wood 4-1 2-3 tle Run during Handley Ho m e c o m i ng KETTLE RUN 1-4 1-4 always scares Sherando LIBERTY 0-5 me. It’s an emotional game for both schools. You never know what will happen,” said Story.

Her fear was valid early on Sept.

25 as host Kettle Run led by as many as three points for much of the opening set until late service successes pushed the Falcons ahead. Fauquier (11-3) prevailed 25-20, 25-13, 25-19 to remain unbeaten and in sole possession of first place in the Northwestern District at 5-0. Kettle Run fell to 1-4 in district.

“They made some good plays, and we made some mistakes,” Story said of the opening set. “Then we started playing with more consistency. That and determination got us through at the end of that set.”

Falcon Kiki Scott served out the set with a four-point run. The Falcons maintained momentum through the

second set, while Kettle Run lost its steam before recovering for a solid third game.

Kettle Run then earned its first district win of the year as the host Cougars won the fifth set over Sherando, 15-10, for the victory and a 1-4 district mark.

Serving is a Cougar strong point, but the Falcons’ service reception prevented the hosts from lengthy scoring runs. “That’s always important,” she stressed.

Rachel Crowe had eight digs and Jules Oravec had seven. Oravec added seven kills, Molly Ayres notched six and Scott five. Crowe had four aces.

Rematch goes to Falcons

The Loudoun Valley-Fauquier battle was a rematch of both teams’ regular-season opener Aug. 21, won by the Vikings in five sets. Story felt the Falcons let a win escape that night.

So she was pleased with the 25-19, 25-17, 25-15 victory, running the Falcons’ winning streak to seven matches.

“In that first match, we definitely lost focus. I think Valley is a strong, well-rounded team, so that was a quality win for us,” said Story, who noted that Loudoun Valley recently won a set from five-time defending state champion Loudoun County.

Scott and Ayres were the top Falcon hitters with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. Oravec added five, Olivia Eisele four and Kayla Pavlock three in a good hitting night.

“We served really well,” Story said, adding kudos to Scott for calling the serves. “They were putting the ball exactly” where Scott wanted.

Two wins for Cougars

Kettle Run won both the JV and freshman matches against Fauquier last week.

Sophomore Bobby Guiney scored two goals to lead the Wakefield Owls to a 2-1 win over Highland’s boys soccer team on the road in Warrenton. Wakefield is 3-0, while Highland is 2-3.

Guiney scored first the goal late in the first half on a rebound during a scramble in front of the goal following a corner kick, and again on a second-half corner kick.

Highland made it 2-1 on a goal by Soren Roberts after a four-pass build up with two minutes left. Hawks goalkeeper Alex San Sabastian finished with nine saves.

Highland volleyball is 6-0

The Highland Hawks put 70 of 72 serves in play in blanking Mercersburg Academy 25-14, 25-15, 25-21.

Highland is 6-0 and 4-0 in the Delaney Athletic Conference.

“Our service game was key to keeping our opponent out of [sync] with their offense,” said coach Gary Hicklin. “Well placed and strategic serves.”

The match was part of Mercersburg’s Homecoming weekend and the first match-up between the teams in about a decade.

“So we entered the match uncertain about our opponent,” Hicklin said.

Sarah Kerns finished with 11 of the Hawks’ 32 kills, while Rylee Mayer had nine.

Wrigley’s hat trick helps Falcons blank Kettle Run 4-0

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

A neutral field is not supposed to favor one team, but when Fauquier’s soaked field forced the Falcons’ field hockey team to play Kettle Run at Liberty last week, FHS coach Brooke Settle rejoiced.

Many Falcon players play on indoors artificial fields as part of travel team competition, so the move to Liberty’s faster turf was an advantage.

The Falcons rolled to a 4-0 win thanks to three goals by junior Ruby Wrigley. “We are a turf team,” said Settle. “That’s a completely different game than a grass field.”

The Cougars fell to 4-4 overall, 0-1 in the Northwestern District.

Fauquier is 6-1, 2-0.

Wrigley broke the 0-0 tie with 19:50 remaining in the first half by taking a pass from Ashley McGregor and launching a shot inside the left post.

Wrigley made it 2-0 less than two minutes later off a Meredyth Rankin assist. The lead grew to 3-0 when Lindsey Finks collected a loose ball in the crease and scored.

“You always want to get out and score fast but we seem to have a hard time,” said Rankin, a senior co-captain who has played in several nail-biters versus the Cougars. “We talked about using the turf to our advantage, working fast to try to get around them.

This year, we were successful.”

Settle said quick passing made this Fauquier’s finest all-around effort of the fall. She credited an excellent Monday practice session that left the

“Ruby [Wrigley] had the game of her life. She had an incredible game.”

– COACH BROOKE SETTLE

players excited. “Coming out of a great practice... you have a good game,” she said of the aggressive start.

“I was ‘Oh my gosh, here we go.’

When they scored that first goal, the energy just increased,” Settle observed of the fast surge. “They were on their ʻAʼ game.”

Kettle Run recovered by increasing possession in the midfield area.

That slowed Fauquier’s attack, but the Cougars could not score, even after playing solid offensively.

“That’s what’s so frustrating.

They are making more plays, but we aren’t scoring,” coach Beth Todd said. “We have to take advantage.”

Wrigley registered her first career hat trick 4:37 into the third period.

“Ruby had the game of her life.

She was on top of it,” Settle praised.

“She had an incredible game.”

Wrigley had a fourth goal called back with 10 minutes remaining when one of the officials ruled she had not hit the hard drive within the 16-yard circle. Wrigley later said she was inside the arc at the time of contact, but the negative decision did not damper her excitement.

“It was overwhelming,” she said of her three goals. “Getting goals early really helped. I was so nervous.”

Kettle Run won the junior varsity contest, 1-0, on a first-half goal by Abbey Smith.

Mucky ground throttles Octoberfest Invitational

But Eagles race in Ashland

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The Richmond area was drier than Great Meadow.

That’s why the Liberty harriers ran in a large invitational meet Saturday, while the Kettle Run and Fauquier cross country teams were washed out at the 80-school Octoberfest Invitational at Great Meadow.

The much-anticipated Octoberfest meet was canceled Friday morning due to the multiple deluges in the previous 36 hours. Portions of the course were under three feet or more of water, with rampant mud.

Liberty experienced solid results at the Patrick Henry Invitational in Ashland, located 16 miles north of Richmond.

The Eagle boys placed 10th in

a 16-school varsity field with 258 points, led by sophomore Sam Rodman, who was 20th of 120 runners by finishing the 5,000-meter course in 17 minutes, 56 seconds.

L.C. Bird won the team crown with 35 points, and Bird’s Brendan Taylor won the gold medal in 16:28.

Matthew Anderson was the next Eagle (45th, 18:50), with Ryan Lutz (63rd, 19:25), Ryan Worley (68th, 19:36), Clay Smallwood (69th, 19:37) and Conner Rogers (73rd, 19:46) forming a tight pack. Ethan Mullins (104th, 21:29) was the seventh Eagle.

The LHS girls participated in the sub-varsity event at Ashland.

Lilly Wingo was the race bronze medalist out of 77 runners, finishing in 23:39. Cindy Garcia finished 12th at 24:12. Sage Laine (22nd, 25:04), Erin Yancey (38th, 26:24) and Emma Dodson (59th, 28:57) were other scorers.

Douglas Freeman won with 35 points, paced by Julia Pellei in 22:48.

Fauquier’s Leazer, Kettle Run’s team just miss golf states

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The wake of a player disqualification at the Class 4 Region C golf meet likely pushed Bryce Leazer out of the state-qualifying zone.

As a team, Kettle Run was close as well. But in the end, no county golfers advanced to the Class 4 state tournament Oct. 8-9 at Williamsburg National Golf Course.

In a field of 48 golfers Sept. 26, Fauquier High’s Leazer shot the fourth-best round on a wet course at Fauquier Springs Country Club, but the junior still missed the state cut because a pair of Woodgrove golfers had lower scores than Leazer’s 73.

Alex Price shot a 68 and Michael Thomas shot a 72 to claim two of the three state bids for golfers not on state-qualifying teams, while Loudoun County’s Mathew Monastero nabbed the third berth with a 71.

Leazer’s circumstance probably would have been different had officials not disqualified Jackson Soska of Woodgrove. Had Soska shot under 85, the Wolverines would have earned a team state berth and Leazer’s 73 would have qualified for states as an individual.

“So frustrating. I can’t even describe it,” Leazer said. “I’m so angry right now.”

Last season, a region round of 77 was good enough for Leazer to become the first Fauquier High golfer to qualify for state since 2009.

He struggled on the first day of the Class 4 tournament, which limited him to a final score of 157 (84, 73), so he hoped to improve upon that performance at state this fall.

His 73 Wednesday was the best round of his junior season, but he expected to shoot lower.

“I played alright. I had four or five wedges that I just missed greens with,” he said. “I should have shot 67, 68, but I screwed up some holes that cost me.”

Massei, Anderson lead Cougars

Kettle Run’s golfers had to wait until almost 4 p.m. to discover they missed the state cut as a team.

Riverside shot 309 to win the region championship with Heritage second with 310.

Led by Hunter Anderson’s 76 and Reece Massei’s 77, third-place Kettle Run came up only three strokes short of forcing a tiebreaker for a team state-bid by shooting a 313, while Fauquier finished fifth at 329.

Earlier in the afternoon, the Cougars trailed Riverside only 316-317 with Heritage leading at 312.

Then their No. 3 golfer, Jacob Rader, posted an 81 and No. 4 Jack Mills added a 79 to give Kettle Run a 315316 lead over Riverside. But the Rams responded with Aryan Tandale’s 75, which cut eight strokes off their score to leap over Kettle Run and Heritage for the region championship.

“Pretty horrible,” Kettle Run’s Reece Massei said of watching the volatile team scores. “But it was fun

to actually compete for states; to know we had a chance. That’s what was different than all the past years.”

The Cougars have never advanced to state as a team but sent Jeremy Cates (2014) and Chase Rathbone (2012) as individuals. Last season, Kettle Run finished fifth out of six in the Region 4C standings, so the Cougars played much better this fall.

“I really loved this team,” Massei said.

“The team atmosphere was great,” said Anderson, who is a senior along with Mills and Rader.

“And that’s probably one of the better scores we’ve ever shot,” Edwards said of Kettle Run’s 10-year history. “We’ll have to work a little bit harder next year, but I think we’ll be successful. I’ve got a couple good ones coming in.”

Anderson finished his career Wednesday with one of his best rounds of the season. On the 18th hole, he made an eagle putt of about 40 feet from the back-right of the green.

“So I was pretty happy with how I ended my senior year,” he said. “I

completely turned my round around.”

He shot 7-over par on the front nine and 2-under on the back.

Massei had an almost perfectly inverse round. He shot 7-under on the back nine and 1-under on the front.

Six Kettle Run golfers shot under 84 Wednesday. Gabby Finan and Trevor Berg did not count toward the Cougars’ team score, but they respectively shot 82 and 83.

Finan, in fact, can still qualify for a state tournament. Along with three other Kettle Run golfers, she will try to advance to the girls open state meet (Class 1-6) during the Oct. 16 Zone 4B tournament at Bowling Green Golf Club.

“Our depth was amazing” this season, Anderson said. “Someone like Gabby or Trevor would come in and their score would count, so that was awesome.”

THAT'S A WRAP ‘Billy and Blaze’ movie crew leaves Warrenton pleased

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Warrenton played a starring role in the production of the film “Billy and Blaze,” with two weeks of work at historic Warrenton Horse Show grounds wrapping up Monday.

Producer Mike Erkel, director Cynthia Erkel and a team of some 30 associates, camera operators, sound, art and lighting technicians are telling C.W. Anderson’s 1936 story of Billy, a 6-year-old boy who loved his horse Blaze “more than anything else in the world.”

The pivotal “Mason County Horse Show scene” was completed Monday with the crew headed to Waynesboro to shoot interiors at the main characters’ “homes” as production nears completion.

“It’s a sweeping project,” explained Cynthia Erkel. “I had a vision. And with a lot of help from a fabulous production crew, from some great little actors and actresses, people and animals both. And a ton of wonderful extras, it’s all coming together.”

Anderson’s family released exclusive rights to Erkel two years ago.

“So many people grew up on this book, but it had to be done just right,” she said. “They didn’t want it ‘Disney-fied’.”

Camera assistant Aaron Putnam said all went well on the Warrenton set.

“It looked like a lot of controlled chaos from the outside,” Putnam said with a laugh. “But, what we’re seeing through the camera is a really nice, old-fashioned story brought to life.”

Putnam and most of the crew live in Asheville, North Carolina.

They’re freelancers who often work with James Suttles’ Suttlefilm production company that’s handling “Billy and Blaze.”

“You used to have to move to California or New York to work in film, but today we can spend a few weeks on set, and telecommute with each other for editing and replacing dialog,” Putnam explained. “Digital (film capability) has really shaken up the industry.”

Erkel, too, works remotely. She lives near Charlottesville, so even though the fictional Billy lived in

Dan Nellis, in overalls, led the ‘show crowd’ from the competition with Debra Murphy and her dog Wyot. Billy is played by Henry Lasko, with German Shepherd 'Xerxes' as Rex.

100 extras took part

Director Cynthia Erkel said “Billy and Blaze” production has included more than 100 extras, a dozen main actors and some 30 production assistants through 30 days of filming, about half the story captured on film so far.The team expects to be in post processing for many months, possibly up to a year.

“There’s so post-processing work to do,” said camera assistant Aaron Putnam. “That time allows the artists and technicians to do their jobs.

You can’t force the creative aspect of a project like this.”

New England, she wanted to film exclusively in Virginia, near her home.

The landscapes are similar enough, she said, to make it believable for exterior scenes, the Warrenton Horse Show grounds perfect for show scenes.

Camera operator Jess Norvisgaard said the team found a lot to like about Warrenton while they were here. They frequented Old Town restaurants and bypass businesses, he said. “This is a nice place.”

“The local extras were especially great,” Putnam added. “They kept showing up, day after day. It’s fun to be on a movie set, but sometimes it's like watching grass grow.

Billy and Blaze is a movie based on the first book in an 11-book series written and illustrated by C.W. Anderson. Here camera operators Aaron Putnam, left, and Jess Norvisgaard capture the action.

“It’s a slow process. Making movies isn’t all glamour. It’s hard work.”

Putnam, at 31 an industry veteran with hundreds of films on his resume, called this one of the softer movies he’s worked on. “The props, the costumes, the way the set director and art department have beautified every one of the sets,” the showgrounds, a farm near Charlottesville for landscape footage and shots of More is at nationalsteeplechase.com

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

“My larger goal is educating women nationally about breast cancer and how to obtain the best possible care in their own community through education.”

– DR. WILLIAMS

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

It remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.

Each year it is estimated that more than 252,710 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,500 will die.

On average, every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and one woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes. Today, there are more than 3.3 million breast cancer survivors alive in the United States.

Good news about breast cancer trends

In recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive hormone replacement therapy after menopause, there has been a gradual reduction in female breast can-

cer incidence rates among women aged 50 and older. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options.

Looking to help at the local level

One of the leading surgeons serving women in Fauquier and Prince William is Dr. John Williams, Medical Director of the Novant UVA Breast Center. Williams is leading a charge for the importance of self-advocacy, through a recently launched website www.breastcancerschool. org. This free website features more than 80 video tutorials where patients with breast cancer can become

‘experts’ on the subject to take proactive steps towards their care.

Historically, patients with breast cancer have embarked on treatment plans with no consideration for a second opinion. Today, however, new cutting-edge information, like the recent groundbreaking TAILORx Breast Cancer Study have proven that taking your medicine, as prescribed, may not always be the best course. This is giving rise to the need for self-advocacy.

Discovering you have breast cancer is devastating, with many women accepting treatment plans without raising critical questions. In many cases, women are prescribed over treatment.

How it began

Almost daily, Williams receives phone calls from patients and friends (of his friends) diagnosed with breast cancer. It was this impetus that led him to create an online educational platform so that patients could easily grasp and retain information. This is notable because few, if any, breast

PATH Foundation funds directly impact local organizations $2M plus in grants given over summer months Staff Report Since the end of May, the PATH Foundation has awarded $2,014,127 in grant funding to 14 projects representing 12 organizations. The programs were funded through various grant processes that fall outside of traditional grant cycles held during the year.

“We’ve had a busy summer, but it’s been a great summer. The programs we’ve been able to fund are already making a difference in the commu-

nity. Though funding for FRESH and the Fauquier Free Clinic’s telehealth work is continued program support, the other efforts are new. We are again inspired by the work of area organizations to strengthen the health and vitality of our community,” said Christy Connolly, PATH Foundation president and CEO. John McCarthy, outgoing PATH Foundation Chair, added, “As we have grown as a foundation over the past five years, it has been rewarding to see the scope of our work grow as well. We’re able to not only award traditional grants, but to respond to needs identified in the Commu-

nity Health Needs Assessment and address issues affecting our community. Having collaborative relationships with area organizations and funding partners has certainly enhanced our ability to identify and respond to areas we can impact.”

Currently the PATH Foundation is accepting applications for general operations grants, with up to $750,000 total available for organizations serving Fauquier, Rappahannock and Culpeper Counties. Application information and more can be found at pathforyou.org.

cancer websites offer a comprehensive video overview of the disease and its many facets.

The result is The Breast Cancer School for Patients, (www.breastcancercourse.org) designed to teach women (and their caregivers) everything they need to know, while providing specific questions to ask their medical teams as they embark on a treatment journey.

“My larger goal is educating women nationally about breast cancer and how to obtain the best possible care in their own community through education,” said Dr. Williams who is a breast cancer surgeon and medical director of the Novant UVA Breast Center. He has been on staff at Fauquier Hospital for 19 years and cares for the vast majority of the women in this region who develop breast cancer.

Fauquier Health encourages you to fall in love with cooking There are lots of reasons to cook at home for your family; preparing burgers and veggies for the family is a lot less expensive than picking up something at the drive-through, for instance. But the biggest reason people turn to home cooking is the opportunities it offers for healthy eating.

“Fast food may be convenient, but it’s tough to know exactly what’s in it,” said Isabel Maples, registered dietitian at the Fauquier Health Wellness Center. “With convenience food, whether it’s from a restaurant or the boxed food aisle of the supermarket, you’ll find a lot of added sugar, salt and other additives. When you cook it yourself, you can control the ingredients. Small improvements can make a big difference.”

On Oct. 10, Bistro on the Hill Chef David Martin will team up with Maples to help attendees “Fall in Love with Cooking at Home.” Fauquier Hospital will host the cooking demonstration from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Bistro.

The main enemy of home cooking – especially on busy weeknights – is time. Chef Martin will demonstrate how to make the most of the limited time most folks have to spend on

Chef David Martin will show how to make healthy meals quick and tasty at a cooking demonstration on Oct. 10.

ROBIN EARL shopping and cooking. He’ll explain, for instance, how to start with a roast chicken and build a different meal each night of the week. He’ll also explain how to take those concepts – and flavor profiles – and adapt them to other proteins, grains or vegetables.

Maples said that visitors will learn tips and techniques to make it easier and faster to cook at home. “Chef Martin will show simple steps for transforming basic ingredients into delicious dinners. Stick around after the demo to sample the dishes yourself.”

Maples added, “In between Chef’s cooking, I’ll jump in to show ways to organize your meal planning and shopping, to make that easier, and to make your meal more nutritious. I’ll focus on how to build a healthy meal using the five food groups and how to find all-star foods – ones that do more for our health.

“Audience members will take a quiz to find out their food personality, which can help identify which recipe ideas work best for them. I’ll go over meal planning techniques and offer ways to balance your choices between all five food groups.

Doing that improves nutrition in several ways: It means you get more vitamins and minerals in every bite.

It also moderates the nutrients that Americans often overdo – like calories, sugar, salt and – fats.

It gives us more of what we don’t get enough of – whole grains, fruits

and vegetables, low-fat dairy, seafood, nuts and seeds.”

Maples promised, “Those attending the event will walk out with at least one – and maybe even two or three – meal solutions that can work for their family.”

Attendees are asked to register for this free event at www.fauquierhealth. org. Click on the events and education tab and find “Fall in Love with Cooking at Home” on the calendar.

Meet the Merchants Stories by Delia Engstrom and Chris Six

Shop local.

It’s a mantra that has spread over time as downtown businesses and local merchants continue to get squeezed in the marketplace by big box stores and online retailers.

No matter how convenient those large retailers might be, something is lost. It is an impersonal way to shop. In days gone by, people shopped businesses run by neighbors and friends. Business owners could be counted on for their knowledge and their dedication to the community where they had set up shop.

Fauquier County is a community that embraces local. It is unique in that the local business owner still reigns supreme. We at the Fauquier Times are strong advocates for local businesses. After all, we are one.

You hold in your hands the second installment of our Meet the Merchants section. In it are the stories of some of your local businesses. Who they are, what they do, how they got started and how they are involved in the community.

For long time residents, these are the

– THIS IS A PAID ADVERTISING SECTION–

stories behind the businesses you know so well. For newcomers, it’s a chance for those businesses to introduce themselves. It’s a look at what makes Fauquier County special. Rural life, natural beauty, small towns.

But most of all, the people. And some of the merchants who are part of the fabric of this unique community.

We hope you enjoy this look at some of your area businesses, and most of all, when you are seeking services, we hope you will consider keeping it local.

Peak Roofing: Reaching new heights in customer service, quality

Peak Roofing Contractors Inc. knows that it takes excellent customer service, a skilled team— and sometimes a ladder to get to the top.

This award-winning company has been installing new roofs, siding, gutters and windows on area homes and businesses since 2006.

“We are family-owned and family-operated,” says Dawn Smith, who co-owns Peak Roofing Contractors along with her brother, Buddy Riggleman.

The two were born and raised in Haymarket and previously worked in the roofing industry before opening their own business. Riggleman has more than 20 years of roofing experience and a reputation for superior attention to detail, both with his workmanship and crew management.

Smith manages the office and staff and ensures there’s an excellent customer experience from start to finish.

“From the moment you contact our office, you’ll know that we truly appreciate your trust in our company,” she said.

Whether clients need roof replacement or repair, had storm damage to their siding, or desire more energy-efficient windows, Peak

“From the moment you contact our office, you’ll know that we truly appreciate your trust in our company.”

– DAWN SMITH Co-owner of Peak Roofing Contractors

“Our employees are all insured and bonded,” Smith said.

Residential and commercial services are provided to clients in

Prince William, Fauquier, Culpeper, Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington counties. No matter the job size or location, Peak Roofing Contractors wants each client to know they appreciate their business.

Established business in Warrenton since 1935

Three generations of experience When it comes to repairing heating, cooling, plumbing, or electrical systems, L J Foley Plumbing & Heating has been the place to go for 83 years.

Family owned and operated for three generations, the company was established in 1935 when its namesake moved to Warrenton.

“My grandfather moved over here from Berryville and started a plumbing company in Warrenton,” says Robert Foley. “My father worked for him during World War II, and then he ran the business until he died in 1976.

“I started when I was home from college in 1963 and went full time in 1971, and I’ve been here ever since.”

So, when it comes to patronizing local businesses, you can’t get more local.

“I was born here, raised here and graduated from Warrenton High School in 1962,” says Foley.

And a life spent in the community where you live means more than just running a business, it also leads to a lifetime of involvement in local organizations.

“I was the president of the Warrenton/Fauquier Jaycees. I have also been a member and I’m on the board of Fauquier Springs Country Club. I was the president for 12 years. I was involved with youth basketball, football and baseball for 30 years.”

Foley has seen a lot of change in the county in his lifetime, but it remains

Warrenton native and longtime owner Robert Foley. a close-knit community that honors quality and value. L J Foley Plumbing & Heating prides itself on its excellent response time and honest pricing.

“We try to treat everybody fairly, try to give them an honest day’s work and an honest job,” Foley explained.

“We’ve lived here all our lives and our name means something to us.”

Numbers are an important part of business for Dave Couk, especially his cell phone number: 540-219-9189.

A mortgage loan originator with Integrity Home Mortgage Corporation, Couk takes pride in being just a quick phone call away to those who require his financial services.

“Real estate agents and clients can reach me seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.,” he says.

“If I’m awake, I respond.”

Couk has been helping customers through the loan process at Integrity Home Mortgage Corporation since 2012 but has more than 30 years of financial services experience.

“I have had held as many as six different licenses; ranging from securities and life insurance, to fee-based money management and a current mortgage license with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.”

Formed in 2005, Integrity Home Mortgage Corporation is a locally-based, privately-owned direct mortgage lender specializing in quick delivery of mortgages. President and CEO Adam Huddleston founded IHMC to provide hassle-free loan transactions to clients.

Couk credits Huddleston’s leadership with the success of the business saying, “He never stops exploring ways to make his company and the customer experience better.

IHMC offers a competitive edge on rates, working with eight or nine different investors through which they price loans, and has skilled underwriting and closing departments.

It has corporate offices in Winchester, with additional offices across Virginia, including in Culpeper, where Couk is based, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.

Integrity Home Mortgage Corporation is very involved in the local communities they serve. Specific charities are chosen each year for charitable gifting purposes, and IHMC works to get full employee participation.

“Giving back to the communities where we work will always be a corporate priority,” Couk says.

Couk encourages anyone who can benefit from his services and those of IHMC to call his cell number or office at 540-812-4730, ext. 8114.

To continually serve the mortgage needs of the community to the best of his ability, Couk focuses on the personal mantra that guides his customer service goals: “I answer my phone; I make house calls; I build relationships!”

The Middleburg Humane Foundation – your local humane animal shelter Established in 1994, the Middleburg Humane Foundation (MHF) operates a non-profit shelter in Marshall with the goal of providing a haven for abused, neglected, and “at risk” animals, both large and small.

“MHF specializes in the rescue and rehabilitation of animals that come to our shelter from a vast variety of abusive situations,” says Melanie Burch, Director of Development. “After much needed nurturing and medical care, our animals are available for adoption.”

The Foundation traces its roots to 1987, when founder Hilleary Bogley opened Scruffy’s Ice Cream Parlor in Middleburg to gain community support for a shelter and to raise money to start the Middleburg Humane Foundation. The parlor raised community awareness and support, bringing together the people and community leaders of our area.

In 1994, MHF moved to its current location and became a 501(c) (3) organization.

The Foundation depends solely on donations and fundraisers held throughout the year for operations. The Foundation also operates a grooming salon at the shelter and a resale boutique shop on Main Street, Marshall.

Today, the Middleburg Human Foundation serves as both a shelter and educational facility.

The Foundation’s mission has always stayed true to helping abused animals or those that were atrisk or neglected.

Over the years, the Foundation has outgrown

Young, male Australian Shepherd mix. Ozzie is slightly hearing impaired but is intelligent, picking up cues and commands from our staff. He would thrive in a home without cats or livestock. Ozzie is up-to-date on all vaccines.

You may be eligible for adoption if you live within a 50 mile radius of our facility in Marshall, VA 20115. Please visit our website: www.middleburghumane.com for our adoption procedures and to fill out an adoption application.

grow all of its existing programs and expand operations to help make Middleburg Humane Foundation a regional shelter, according to Burch.

One of its most effective programs is the Community Cats Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR). This program helps to control the feral cat population.

In addition to the TNR program, MHF offers behavior training, equine rescue, grooming, and even wildlife emergencies. The foundation is one of the only rescue facilities in the region that offers care to equines and other livestock. Once medical treatment is provided, all animals become available for adoption, pending home inspections and approvals.

“We are a unique organization in that we will take any animal and provide it care,” explains Burch. “We take in an average of 600 animals every year, from swans to peacocks, to horses and goats and that comes at a price.”

Adoptions, donations, volunteer opportunities and foster care are just a few of the topics you can learn about at the Middleburg Humane Foundation, 4094 Whiting Road, Marshall. Contact them at 540-364-3272 or visit them on the web at middleburghumane.org

Long & Foster: Your hometown Realtors since 1983 Buying or selling a home is one of the largest, and oftentimes most complex, transactions that people complete in their lives. The process can bring a range of emotions and questions, from what you need in a house to what you can afford and so much more. Whether you are a firsttime homebuyer or an empty-nester looking to downsize, the best way to approach the process is with the guidance and advice of a trusted real estate professional – like the team at Long & Foster Real Estate in Warrenton.

It’s been 35 years since Long & Foster opened its doors in Warrenton, and the Northern Virginia-headquartered business is as committed to the local market and its residents as ever.

“For us, home is here – from downtown Main Street to the many vineyards in Fauquier and surrounding counties,” said Phyllis Hunt, managing broker of Long & Foster’s Warrenton office. “In the three-plus decades that we’ve been in Warrenton, our office has become a true part of the community, and that means we know the market, inside and out, and we work hard to make sure it remains the great place it is for all of us to live, work and play.”

One of the ways that Hunt, her staff and the more than 75 real estate agents in the office do that is by volunteering and supporting local nonprofits and

For years, they have worked with the Fauquier County Department of Social Services to “adopt” a local family or foster children. They then collect and donate much-needed household goods or school supplies to them. They also host a complimentary document shredding event annually, helping their friends and neighbors dispose of any unnecessary paperwork safely and securely.

They have also held fundraisers to

benefit the Fauquier SPCA, the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company and the Fauquier Family Shelter, to name a few.

“Giving back is part of our culture here at Long & Foster, and that’s one of the things that most appealed to me when I joined the team here and that I’m most proud of today,” said Hunt.

Its philosophy of giving is also what attracts many real estate agents to work for Long & Foster and what

introduces many clients to the brokerage and its offerings, she said.

Those offerings include expert market insights, the latest marketing and technology programs to simplify the buying or selling process, as well as a comprehensive suite of real estate related services, from mortgage and insurance to settlement and property management.

“When you work with a Long & Foster agent, you also gain the backing of our partners at Prosperity Home Mortgage, Long & Foster Settlement Services and Long & Foster Insurance, and together, our team will help you find that special place to call home,” Hunt said. “We’ll also make sure you know what’s happening in your neighborhood—from how many homes are on the market to how much they’re selling for.”

In Fauquier County for example, inventory – that’s number of homes currently for sale – was down by double-digits and median prices were up by 2 percent, according to the August Long & Foster Market Minute Report. In Warrenton and New Baltimore, median prices were up 3 percent, while inventory has dropped by only about 2 percent.

What do these market conditions mean to you? Your local Long & Foster agent can tell you firsthand.

Call their team at 540-349-1400 or stop by the office at 492 Blackwell Road in Warrenton.

Join us Oct. 13 and 14 for Long & Foster’s fall open house celebration!

Fauquier County is home to 26 wineries.

Chasing the grape and hop

In the last decade, the Virginia craft beer scene has exploded, creating brew trails and regions across the state.

Fauquier County is no exception with four breweries.

October’s riot of color a perfect time to visit local wineries and breweries

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

The urge to celebrate during the fall months may well be part of our DNA. As far back as man’s cultivation of the earth, the harvest of his labors was a celebratory time.

As time progressed and crop development advanced, the joy of gathering the fruits of one’s work began to crystalize into organized celebrations and festivals.

The joy was generated by two accomplishments: ample food to sustain the community and the freedom of not having to work the fields during the winter months.

It was hunkering down time.

Festivals typically occurred around the autumnal equinox; about September 22 in the northern hemisphere and March 20 in the southern hemisphere. The events included religious services, extravagant dinners, music performances and distributing food to the poor.

America’s first Thanksgiving took place in October 1621 and was attended by both the Pilgrims and Native Americans. It set the stage for one of the most revered holidays in the United States.

Today, our connection with farming and harvesting is tenuous at best.

Industrial agriculture provides all the foodstuffs we need to thrive. Yet, the urge to celebrate in the fall retains its hold on communities worldwide.

There’s no better way to embrace these subliminal urges during the fall season than by touring the numerous wineries and breweries.

Social lubricants and advice

The explosive opening of wineries and breweries nationwide over the last few decades has been remarkable. There are now more than 8,700 wineries and 6,300 breweries in the United States. Toss in cideries and distilleries, and the opportunity to share in the bounty of grapes, barley, hops and apples is ubiquitous.

Fauquier County is home to 26 wineries, four breweries and two cideries. But the four counties bordering Fauquier expands the opportunity for a fun-filled afternoon of picnicking and responsible sipping to dozens of establishments.

To further deepen the experience, Mother Nature has chosen the fall season to drape herself in a riotous mantle of reds and golds. This is going to be an enjoyable travel assignment.

Here’s some advice as you undertake your “freewheeling fun fall flight from frustration.”

First, don’t attempt to visit more than two or three establishments in a day. Relax. Take your time. Your

understanding and appreciation of the libations will reveal themselves more fully if you simply slow down.

The old chestnut, “haste makes waste,” should become your threeword management plan for extracting maximum enjoyment from each “drinkery” you visit.

Consider taking occasional behind-the-scenes tours at businesses that offer them. You’ll gain greater insight into how wine, beer, whiskey and cider are produced, enriching your understanding of both the simplicity – and complexity – of their production. Availing yourself of free tours is an educational opportunity that will deepen your delight of the finished product.

Make observations on tasting note sheets to learn which places you have enjoyed visiting. A file kept at home will refresh you on the drinks you found most delightful. It can also lead to a compilation of your “Top 10” favorite establishments.

Engage your fellow tasters during your tastings. Interesting exchanges unfold as strangers begin a conversation about their mutual love of the product in the glass. Don’t be surprised if you meet people from distant states or even overseas. Virginia’s tourism draws guests from points worldwide.

Ask questions freely. Your hosts will enjoy educating you on a variety of libation-related subjects. Knowledgeable employees take pleasure in educating guests on their livelihood.

While many of the places on your itinerary provide some food, almost

all of them have no objection to bringing your own. If ever there was a good reason to pack a picnic basket, visiting county libation centers tops the list.

For a list of local wineries, pop the cork at www.visitfauquier.com/ things-to-do/wineries.

The four breweries to investigate are Barrel Oak Tap House, Old Bust Head Brewing Company, Powers Farm Brewery and Wort Hog Brewing Company.

The two cideries are bonus combo-paks: Cobbler Mountain Winery and Cidery and Old Trade Brewery and Cidery.

Let the fun begin.

Fair weather forecast for visiting Fauquier’s farms

By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

From the feel of it, October portends to be balmy, even hot, with temperatures forecast in the mid-70s to low 80s for several weeks. Perfect weather for all those fun family festivities…like Fauquier’s Fall Farm Tour this year taking place on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There are seven stops this year, so get out your old barn boots, throw on jeans and flannel shirt and you’re off.

First up—the adorable alpacas.

Entrepreneur and alpaca breeder Mary Forte will swing open the gates at her 134-acre Cedar Hill Farm near The Plains. And guess what? She has two baby alpacas to display. “Togo” was born four weeks ago, is brown in color and Forte describes her as “inquisitive.” The other new offspring is “Wile E. Coyote,” 4-months-old and starkly white.

“We have plenty to show off,” Forte said, “but this is not a petting zoo.”

Instead, her facility is a working business and she specializes in producing bags of Mary’s Alpaca Poop, a magical mixture in the form of a dry pod fertilizer for your flowers and gardens.

This year, she added “Bird Balls” to hang in the tree with fresh fibers for the birds to build their own custom-made nests. With a herd of 160

An onsite farm store offers raw fiber, finished shawls and sweaters, toys and crafts. Two educational presentations about the alpacas are scheduled at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. with details on their history and husbandry.

Did somebody say mooooooove over? Let’s talk cattle at two locations.

First, at the 1,000-acre Locust Hill Farm, managed by Virginia Del. Michael Webert, R-18th, visitors will see registered Angus and

Hereford cattle. This sprawling farm on Zulla Road, between Middleburg and Marshall, has been noted for many years for its thoroughbred horse operation, with numerous flat and steeplechase winners.

The Fauquier 4-H Livestock Club will be grilling hamburgers for a fundraiser, and there will be hay rides with members of the John Marshall Soil and Water Conservation District.

At Andrea Young’s 250-acre Hidden Creek Farm in Delaplane, guests will get to see such heritage livestock as Mangalitsa hogs, Red Poll cattle, Katahdin hair sheep and Silver Fox rabbits.

The real treat here will be numerous activities: hay rides, pasture management demonstrations, meat-smoking lessons and a Market Garden overflowing with fresh produce. You can also tiptoe through a tiny pre-Civil war cemetery. Please note that due to biosecurity livestock requirements, no pets are allowed.

The 1,860-acre Sky Meadows Park off U.S. 17 between Paris and Delaplane will be in full swing with cattle, hay, chickens, an apiary, chestnut orchard, produce garden, Indian corn, sunflowers and a large pumpkin patch. All of this is in cooperation with the Virginia Department of Corrections Agribusiness, the Beekeepers of Northern Shenan-

ʻSteel Magnoliasʼ opened Fauquier Community Theatre 41st Anniversary Season

Six opportunities left to see this hilarious and heartwarming production Staff Report Steel Magnolias is set in Truvy’s beauty salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are “anybody” come to have their hair done. It is the classic tale of that “stronger than hairspray” bond between southern ladies with their Louisiana charm. Six ladies from the south weather the sunny and stormy days that come their way throughout the seasons of life, together. As the curtain rises, audiences will be drawn into the hilarious conversation and experience many laughing out loud moments. There is much to do as these ladies are beautified for Shelby Eatenton’s wedding day, since as Truvy says, “there is no such thing as natural beauty.” Shelby (the prettiest girl in town), is about to marry a “good ole boy.” In the 1989 film Steel Magnolias, the outspoken master of wise-cracks Truvy was played

by Dolly Parton, and Shelby by Julia Roberts. With help from an eager new assistant, Annelle, Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the town’s rich curmudgeon, Ouiser, (“I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a bad mood for 40 years”). Other characters

are an eccentric millionaire, Miss Clairee, who has a raging sweet tooth and the local social leader, M’Lynn Eatenton.

Filled with hilarious repartee and many acerbic but humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play also draws on the underlying strength— and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.

In casting, FCT reached far and near and many showed up to audition for the great roles. The cast of

six women chosen has incredible comedic timing and heartfelt performances. Five out of six actresses are brand new to FCT and excited to be part of the 41st Anniversary Season.

The cast is as follows: Annelle Dupuy-Desoto is played beautifully by Madeline Fanta; Truvy Jones is depicted with sass and humor by Joanna Lange; and Clairee Belcher is lovingly portrayed by Amy Treat. Clairee’s daughter Shelby Eatenton is heartwarmingly brought to life by Bevin Hester; M’Lynn Eatenton is captured perfectly by Cheryl Bolt, and the

cantankerous Ouiser Boudreaux is hilariously played by Dawn Fansler.

In August, the cast was invited to the Alamo Drafthouse for a preview with much applause and they were hostesses at a Steel Magnolia’s tribute.

For more than 80 years, Consumer Reports has been the go-to source for unbiased product reviews and comparisons of products and services, based on its in-house testing laboratory and survey research center.

It has more than seven million subscribers and an annual testing budget of about $25 million. Consumer Reports is published by Consumers Union, a nonprofit dedicated to unbiased testing, consumer-oriented research, advocacy and public education.

The collage of photos will be on display

at all three library locations. The libraries will also display a “white table” in memory and honor of American service members fallen, missing or held captive in the line of duty. White tables are modeled after the one in the children’s book “America’s White Table” by Margot Theis Raven and illustrated by Mike Benny.

Ask the Arborist

Jamie Wood Greg Bradshaw Shane Wagoner

I.S.A. Certified Arborists

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

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

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

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

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

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

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARE

People often confuse “palliative” and “hospice” care, which are different services, but may be intertwined.

While palliative care largely concerns itself with relieving pain and may be given along with curative treatments, hospice care focuses on a dying person’s last six months (or less) of life. Both have the goal of making the patient as comfortable as possible, but palliative care can also be performed for terminal and non-terminal patients alike. Thus, anyone can avail him- or herself of palliative care, along with any other medications or treatments that may extend life or cure the disease, but hospice care is limited to terminal patients for whom curative treatments (such as chemotherapy) are no longer effective.

When faced with a loss, many confront the question with regards to funeral planning, “where do I start?” Typically the first decision to be made is that of burial versus cremation followed by choosing a traditional funeral or a memorial service. Also consider creating a list of who will be in attendance. These details will be especially useful for the initial meeting with the funeral home. For more information, 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.

“The simple act of caring is heroic.”

OBITUARIES Scott Wayne Hensley Dorothy (Dottie) Hollifield

Born October 20, 1954, died September 21, 2018 Loving and devoted husband, father, grandparent, friend and Scout.

Memorial service sponsored by Boy Scout Troop 196 out of Culpeper.

Inez Baudana Albertella Digiuseppe In the midst of the deadly Spanish-flu epidemic and 7 years following the marriage of her immigrant parents, Costanzo Baudana and Rosa Migone, Inez Baudana Albertella Digiuseppe became their first and only child on October 17, 1918.

Life, however, didn’t go as planned. Inez’s mother died when she was 12, and soon after graduation from elementary school, she and her widowed father left her birthplace home in Paterson, New Jersey to a “land of his dreams” in Texas to farm a stretch of fertile valley outside of Houston. Before long, her father lost his eyesight to illness and the farm to a flood, and in 1932 the decision was made to board a ship bound for Italy and return to her father’s ancestral home in the Piedmont village of Monforte D’Alba in the hills above Genoa. There, Inez fashioned a simple, dutiful and memorable life while caring for and reading to her father. They divided their time between Monforte D’Alba and her mother’s family hometown and seacoast village of Chiavari in the province of Genoa. For the next 7 years she enjoyed an adventure-filled youth with cousins and new-found friends (with whom she’d maintain life-long relationships) in the heady times of 1930s Italy.

In the summer of 1939 world events again intervened. War clouds in Europe were unmistakable, and Inez’s now-blind father made a monumental decision: Though he never became a U.S. citizen, Inez was a citizen owing to her American birth, so the two made their way to Genoa where he tearfully put her on one of the last boats departing the Mediterranean before the German invasion of Poland and outbreak of WWII. Now 21, she was bound for New York City’s lower east side to “visit” with her aunt and uncle and attend the famous 1939 World’s Fair.

But there was no going back. In short order, she met and married Salvatore Albertella and gave birth to two sons Raymond and John, and lived happily in Jackson Heights, New York until Sal’s death in 1970. Inez never saw her father again. Unable to return to America, he died during the German occupation of Italy in 1943. Ironically, Inez later worked at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair as an Italian translator and VIP “Golden Girl” tour guide.

In 1975, she married Tony Digiuseppe with whom she enjoyed many more wonderful years travelling the globe and sailing the waters south of Long Island and eastern coastal waterways aboard their boat, the Tonez until his death in 1986. Active into her 90s, she starred on a travelling bocce team in the 1980s.

Inez’s beauty, grace and elegance were legendary. As recently as 2016 a surviving childhood friend in Monforte D’Alba was quoted as saying “she was the most beautiful girl in all of Italy.” She was also remarkably talented as a cook, homemaker, teacher, translator and real estate professional, but Inez always put her family first and loved all who crossed her path. She was caring and loving, and her positivity and warmth spread to all who knew her. She dedicated her later years to her family of 2 children, 6 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and 2 great, great, grandchildren. Inez passed away on August 27th from natural causes following a stroke two months short of her 100th birthday at her home in The Culpeper Retirement Community in Culpeper, Virginia where a memorial service will be held on October 18 at 10:30 AM. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Virginia Baptist Home (VBH) Foundation.

Dorothy (Dottie) Hollifield, a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Dorothy went to be with the Lord on September 29th, at the age of 89.

Dottie was born on June 1st, 1929 in Altoona, Pennsylvania to Omar and Pearl Wharton.

After her high school graduation she moved to Washington D.C. and worked for the FBI. Dottie married the love of her life, Leonard Hollifield on August 25th, 1951. The couple then settled in Northern Virginia and raised their seven children. Later in life they moved to Luray, VA, where they owned and operated the Pine Knoll Gift Shop. She loved watching Hallmark movies, doing word search finds, celebrating holidays and family get-together’s. Any chance to spend time with her family was important to her. Dottie was a sweet soul who could warm anyone’s day with her smile and hugs.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard Hollifield and two of her sons, Dennis Hollifield and Duane Hollifield as well as two brothers, Don Wharton and Gary Wharton.

She is survived by five of her children, Derrill (Chantal) Hollifield of Unionville, VA, David (Karen) Hollifield of Strasburg, VA, Doreen (Robert) Moore of Warrenton, VA, Deanna (Todd) Kerby of Warrenton, VA, and Carl (Maria) Hollifield of New Market, VA. She is also survived by two siblings, Helen Fisher and Russell Wharton. Dottie also leaves behind twenty grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren.

The family will receive friends at Warrenton Bible Fellowship in Warrenton, VA on Saturday, October 6th from 4-5 p.m. followed by a celebration of life service.

The family will hold a private graveside burial at Fairfax Memorial Gardens on October 8th, in Fairfax, VA. Arrangements by Moser Funeral Home 233 Broadview Ave. Warrenton, VA 20186, 540-347-3431, online condolences can be made at: moserfuneralhome.com

Michelle Lyn Larkin Michelle Lyn LarkinMichelle Lyn Larkin, 35, recently of Culpeper, passed away suddenly on September 11, 2018, at home from a blood clot.

She was born on June 6, 1983, in Manassas but lived most of her life in Fauquier County.

Michelle graduated from Liberty High School in 2002.

Michelle was born with developmental disabilities and a seizure disorder, but that did not hold her down. She competed as a Fauquier County Special Olympics athlete for 25 years, starting on the track and field team, but her favorite sport was bowling. She was an avid bowler. She was always the first one at bowling practice, arriving even before the coaches. Over the years, Michelle earned scores of ribbons, pins, medals and trophies. She had the highest bowling average among the females and won the female MVP at the sports banquet.

Michelle was also an animal lover. Through the years, she had all sorts of pets, from cats and dogs to goats and rabbits. Recently she was raising chickens and enjoyed caring for them, even scrubbing their feet with a washcloth to keep the eggs clean. Michelle gathered the eggs each morning and sold them for spending money.

As a final tribute to Michelle, her parents donated her organs to the Washington Regional Transplant Community. Michelle was a kind and thoughtful young lady, always concerned about others, and her parents knew that Michelle would have wanted them to do this.

Michelle is survived by her parents, Francis and Doris Larkin, recently of Culpeper; her brother Wayne Larkin; two half sisters, Heather and Nicole, and a half brother, William. She leaves many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by both sets of grandparents.

Michelle’s parents received family, friends and teammates Saturday, September 29, at Baker Post Funeral Home, 1001 Nokesville Road, Manassas. There was a celebration of life and visitation at 3 p.m., followed by a service at 4 o’clock.
