New public park on the Rappahannock?

County to vote Thursday on 200-acre riverfront donation

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A nearly 200-acre site along the Rappahannock River in Fauquier County west of Warrenton could

soon offer kayaking, fishing and hiking to the public.

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors is set to vote Thursday on a donation of land owned

by Charles MacDonald on Leeds Manor Road, about 1.4 miles off Va. 211. The frontage along the river stretches about eight-tenths of a mile.

“The is one of those wonderful things that comes along once in a

while,” said Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, in whose district the land is located.

“It’s extremely exciting. There is no river access in the Marshall District and very little elsewhere.”

Members of the county planning commission, parks and recreation department, Virginia Department of Games and Inland Fisheries, Virginia Outdoors Foundation and others have already walked the proper-

ty. The VOF has an easement on the property.

“The property’s attributes are strongly suited for citizens to enjoy access to the Rappahannock River for canoeing/kayaking access, shore fishing and hiking opportunities,” according to the description accompanying the resolution the supervisors will consider.

New mural depicts life in Old Town Warrenton MURAL from page 1 “The idea started with the Partnership for Warrenton Foundation,” the now-defunct Main Street organization that was replaced in 2017

by Experience Old Town Warrenton, said the new group’s executive director, Charity Furness. “And we brought the idea to fruition.”

EOTW considered multiple artists, she said, but selected Ross Trimmer of Sure Hand Signs “because his wonderful artwork complemented the feel of Old Town Warrenton, and he came highly recommended. He’s done other work in Warrenton,” Furness said.

For this job, Trimmer brought Michael Broth, a muralist he has known since high school in Fairfax and with whom he has worked for six years, “when this type of assignment comes up.” Trimmer works with brushes for detail and finishing. The muralist uses spray paint, 200 cans in bins at his feet. It was a two-day job.

As the artists collaborated, the street covered with plastic, ladders and bins of paint, two visitors idled by. Even in its state of metamorphosis, the mural delighted Juanita Marlett of Amissville and her daughter Leah.

“It’s so iconic of small-town Warrenton,” the younger Marlett said.

“This is such a sweet and friendly

“Murals always serve a community well. It makes a space into a place.”

town,” her mother said. “Warrenton needed and deserves something like this.

“The EOTW board, with our design committee as the lead, partnered with property owner Faye Richardson and Molly’s business owner Casey Ward to select the design,” said Furness.

Placing art and drawing foot traffic, business and enthusiasm to the town is part and parcel of EOTW’s mission. The nonprofit has an annual budget of $86,000, Furness said.

They paid $5,000 for the mural.

Broth had taken a break to eat his hamburger from Sibby’s on 2nd Street. “Murals always serve a community well,” he said between swallows. “It makes a space into a place.”

He watched a woman pulling a cart containing a hay bale and what looked like the rear end of a scarecrow. She pointed to the mural.

“Hey, that’s perfect for selfies,” she said.

County to consider land donation to create public access to the Rappahannock RIVER from page 1 The property could also be visited by students to enhance their studies of the environment and local history.

About $45,000 will be needed to ready the property for public access, which would pay for signs, a kiosk, gravel, river-access construction, parking, an entrance gate and trash cans.

Annual operating costs will total about $12,500. A tentative budget includes regular mowing and maintenance of the road and trails.

A timetable calls for the property to be conveyed to the county in November, assuming the supervisors accept the donation. Work to get the park ready could start in December.

It could possibly be ready for use next spring but that is just a guess on her part, McDaniel said.

A gravel road already serves the property, and there are existing trails, according to a memorandum written by Parks and Recreation Director Larry W. Miller.

The property is virtually in “turnkey” condition for the county to take over and put to use with little upfront expense, McDaniel said.

The 196.64-acre property is currently zoned for agricultural use. A

small outbuilding stands on it. The property has a mature forest, some open meadow and small streams. A family cemetery is there as well.

The county has also been working to develop a recreational park with river access in Remington.

In July, it was announced that the county was partnering with the American Battlefield Trust to expand a park on land fought over during the Civil War’s Battle of Rappahannock Station. The battlefield trust would buy six parcels, receiving $227,500 from the county to make the purchase. The trust would then give the land to the county for passive park use and in so doing keep the land from being developed.

Williams’ ad recounts family’s struggle with health-care costs Democrat aims to be Virginia’s first black congresswoman

By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Gentle piano music tinkles in the background. The candidate is in a recording studio. “I’ve been called a girl, sweetheart, well-spoken and even ‘a nice colored lady,’ and I’ve heard a lot of stories like my own. I’m Vangie Williams, and all I wanted was to be heard.”

So begins the two-minute video put out by a campaign that aims to send Virginia’s first-ever woman-of-color to Congress in January.

“Living in rural Virginia,” the candidate shakes her head, “no hospital around us could treat her.” Williams is referring to her youngest daughter, Lylia, who was 2 years old when diagnosed with a rare, chronic lung condition. A montage of scenes shows the child, now 12, in hospital rooms over the years.

In telling her story, Williams, who appears consistently in a red blazer (a “symbol of love,” says campaign assistant Sheri Shannon) recounts a struggle not unfamiliar in post-2008 America.

“We spent our life savings, lost our home and went bankrupt,” she says in the video, “because that’s what you do when you have a sick child.”

A team of videographers that worked on President Obama’s 2008 campaign, Alexandria-based MVAR Media, followed Williams around for two days, she explained later. “They heard me telling someone that story and asked me if I could sit with them and recount it.”

With the campaign short on cash, raising just more than $97,000 compared to the $1.1 million her opponent, Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman has raised since 2017, Williams is making the most of social media and the goose-bump-raising ad, which her supporters are sharing widely online.

“My congressman wouldn’t listen,” the video goes on. “I reached out to Congressman [Rob] Wittman again and again. I wrote letters. I even went to his office on Capitol Hill. But

PHOTO BY MIKE BEATY Vangie Williams with her husband, Glen Williams, during a fundraiser Monday, Oct. 8, in Springfield. the only sound I heard was, ‘The congressman is busy.’ Yet he found time to vote against Obamacare, and to attempt to repeal it again and again.”

Williams, 50, was on the phone from her King George home one recent afternoon, her dog Rocky sleeping underfoot. The full-time federal government contractor, mother of six, and online student — she’s working on a doctorate in business administration — seems tireless, optimistic and unflappable. She explained the story behind the video and what brought her to challenge Wittman, a five-term incumbent, in a district redrawn in 2016 to favor Republicans.

Hard times

In the ad, Williams explained, she is referring to a period when life for her middle-class family began to spin out of control. The problem began when Williams left her job at NASA in 2007. She had 30 days to submit her COBRA form, a document that would continue the family’s health insurance.

But before she submitted the form, 2-year-old Lylia was hospitalized with a life-threatening lung condition. The bills were staggeringly high. There was no health insurance for the child’s three-week stay, and she still needed to be moved to a hospital better equipped to treat her.

At the time, Williams had left NASA to grow her real estate work. “I had closings coming up. I had money in the bank.” The Williams decided to

pay the medical bills, using up their savings.

“I was afraid a new hospital wouldn’t accept her if those bills were outstanding. I didn’t realize bills could be negotiated, and I never expected the housing market meltdown.” The Williams were wiped out.

“We did what we had to do to shield [the children] from what was going on,” Williams said, “although that Christmas, we had no money.” Williams was crying softly. “And someone left presents for all of our daughters and a check for $500. That shows how much we had done for the community, they were giving back to us.”

State social services kicked in to insure the children at one point, but not Williams nor her husband, Glen. Within 14 months, Vangie Williams was back at work full-time and today commands a six-figure salary. Filing for bankruptcy had not saved the family’s house but they scraped by because “family and friends helped,” and her husband had not lost his construction job.

Growing up

Vangie Williams was born in Washington, D.C. in 1968, an only child.

As her mother “had an addiction,” she was mostly on her own, getting herself through school, spending summers in the Carolinas with one grandmother or the other. “It made me know who I was from a young age. I knew I had to fix things that were broken,” she said.

“Both of my grandmothers were strong, independent women,” Williams said. “They didn’t want me to become ‘country compliant.’ Both of them encouraged me to stay in Washington where there were opportunities, to keep learning, and to be strong,” she added.

Williams married D.C.-native Glen Williams, one of 13 children whose parents had also come up from the Carolinas. Together they have six daughters.

“He’s my best friend. We’ve never had a fight.” While her mother is well now and lives with the family, Vangie Williams has always been the breadwinner, starting out as a clerk typist for the federal government and working her way up. Her two-hour commute each way left household management to her husband and mother. Williams said she was often studying at night.

“I’ve been lucky, she said. “I’ve had a succession of employers who taught me every aspect of their business, often steering me toward the education that would help me excel there.” Williams has degrees in construction management, federal acquisitions and contract management, history, and project management.

Williams confirmed last week that her student loans tally $200,000, which she shared with a university audience in September. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported last month that Williams’ financial disclosures did not mention the debt. Williams said the omission was due to transmission errors.

“It happens often enough, I hear,” Williams said. “I know I filled out those pages. Transmission errors mean we just have to resubmit.”

The turning point

Williams said she received no assistance from her congressman in the fight with Lylia’s health insurance carrier to cover the out-of-area care she needed. Furthermore, the family lives in a region that has “terrible cellular service, no transportation, terrible broadband, crumbling infrastructure,” Williams said.

“You might have a home and a car, but you still need health care, and child care and broadband,” she added.

Her own frustrations aside, however, it was the pain of a woman who came to her after Wittman promised he would support the Affordable Care Act at a pop-up town hall in Stafford.

“A young lady named Cheryl had asked Rob Wittman — she had cancer — if he would promise to vote to save the ACA. He said, ‘I will.’ And then he did the complete opposite. She called me and she said, ‘He lied to me, right to my face,’” Williams said.

“I decided then and there that I was going to run against this man and be someone people like me could count on.”

When reached for comment about Williams’ ad, Wittman spokeswoman Kathleen Gayle said the congressman’s office has no record of a “scheduling request” from Williams.

“Every constituent’s request is treated with urgency and respect. Although the office does not have an official scheduling request from Mrs. Williams, the congressman wishes he had the opportunity to meet with her and hear her story,” Gayle said in email.

70,000 hits

Despite her campaign’s struggle to keep up with Wittman’s in donations, Williams seems undaunted. “We are people-funded. Ninety-eight percent of our support is coming from everyday people and small business, and some unions have supported the campaign with small contributions,” she said.

Careful with funds, and in a district serving the substantial media markets of Washington, D.C., Hampton Roads and Richmond, Williams has so far charted a unique method of outreach.

“We are bypassing traditional media, going to direct marketing and social media,” she said.

Last week, Williams received high-profile endorsements from National Education Association, the largest labor union in the country, and from advocacy group Network for Public Education Action.

Twenty counties comprise Virginia’s 1st district, including Fauquier.

Although most of Fauquier County is in the 5th District, voters in four precincts — Catlett, Morrisville, Bealeton and Lois — will cast votes for either Williams or Wittman in November.

The video ad, which exceeded 70,000 hits in its first week and remains front and center on the VangieforCongress.com website, has garnered enthusiasm on its Facebook page. A commenter named “Bald Eagle” wrote: “Incredibly powerful! I’m dragging everyone to the polls!!”

Mary Becelia posted, “Superb: You already had my vote, but now you have my heart!”

Fauquier schools hit record-high graduation rate

By Karen Chaffraix

On-Time Graduation Rates

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County’s Class of 2018 hit a record 96.1 percent on-time graduation rate, according to a new report from the Virginia Department of Education.

That score places Fauquier schools in 13th place among all 132 Virginia school divisions in terms of graduating students in four years and second among similarly-sized school divisions, according to a press release issued Oct. 2.

To graduate “on-time” means that entering ninth-graders finish high school exactly four years after they start. Last year, Fauquier graduated 95.5 percent of its students on time, a number that, with few exceptions, has risen steadily since 2008, when only 86.9 percent of students graduated on time.

Fauquier County’s 2018 record 96.1 percent on-time graduation rate also far exceeds Virginia’s 2018 average on-time graduation rate of 91.6 percent.

Weighing in on the newly released results, Fauquier County schools Superintendent David Jeck credited students, teachers and staff, saying, 96.1 percent “is an amazing statistic.”

“The fact that 96 out of 100 students are graduating on time in this school division says something very positive about the students and the

Associate Superintendent for Instruction Major Warner called the news “a significant milestone.”

“We have an outstanding instructional staff that genuinely cares about the kind of experiences our kids are exposed to, and they are to be commended for their efforts.

I believe that it is one of those data points that most reflects the success of those experiences,” he said in a press release.

The school division’s graduation rate for students with disabilities

“remained strong” at 95 percent, the school board’s press release said.

The graduation rate for Fauquier County’s black students increased to 95.5 percent in 2018 from 88.3 percent in 2017 and beat the 2018 state average rate of 89.6 percent.

Jeck said the increase in the black student on-time graduation rate is the result of the school division’s commitment to equity for all students.

“Reaching 95.5 percent in this subgroup category is nothing short of phenomenal,” Jeck said in a press release. “My hat is off to the kids

especially. I hope they are aware of how huge an accomplishment this is.”

VDOE also reported that Fauquier’s dropout rate decreased to 2.2 percent in 2018 from 2.6 percent in 2017.

Fauquier’s student enrollment, about 11,000, is comparable in size with 17 other school divisions in the state, all of which have between 8,000 to 15,000 students.

Only one county in that size range fared better than Fauquier in terms of on-time graduation rate. York County graduated 96.9 percent of its students on time, eight-tenths of a percent higher than Fauquier.

New Fauquier historical markers highlight the Mellons Staff Reports Three new state historical highway markers in Fauquier County have been approved by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.

The markers will recall the Mellon family philanthropy and the Rokeby Stables.

Paul Mellon (1907-1999) was “one of the foremost American philanthropists of the 20th century,” according to the text for a marker summarizing his life. Inheriting a vast fortune from his father Andrew W. Mellon, the younger Mellon “supported universities, civic improvement projects, conservation efforts, and fine-arts institutions.”

Along with his second wife, Rachel “Bunny” Lambert Mellon, “he amassed a world-renowned art collection,” and “donated more than 1,000 objects to the National Gallery of Art.” He also made substantial contributions to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. In 1975, he donated the land to Virginia that became Sky Meadows State Park.

The life of Paul Mellon’s first wife, Mary E. Conover Mellon, will also be highlighted with a sign.

With a keen interest in the humanities and the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, “she was instrumental in establishing the Bollingen Series of books in 1943 to publish Jung’s writing in English and to disseminate works on anthropology, art, literary criticism, philosophy and comparative religion.”

She was also the first president of the Bollingen Foundation, established to support the publishing enterprise. She died in 1946 and is buried at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville.

Rokeby Stables near Upperville was established

by Paul Mellon after Andrew W. Mellon purchased the property in 1931. His horses included American Way, winner in 1948 of the Grand National Steeplechase; Mill Reef, winner in 1971 of Europe’s

most prestigious races; and Sea Hero, 1993 winner of the Kentucky Derby, among many others.

Mellon collected equine art and donated much of his collection to the National Gallery of Art and the Virginia Fine Arts Museum, and the Yale Center for British Art, which he founded.

The Virginia highway marker program, which began in 1927 with installation of the first historical markers along U.S. 1, is considered the oldest such program in the nation.

Currently there are more than 2,500 official state markers, most of which are maintained by the Virginia Department of Transportation, except in those localities outside of VDOT’s authority.

More information about the Historical Highway Marker Program is available on the website of the Department of Historic Resources at https:// www.dhr.virginia.gov/highway-markers/.

DHR markers are erected not to “honor” their subjects but rather to educate and inform the public about a person, place, or event of regional, state, or national importance. In this regard, markers are not memorials.

Following is the full text of the markers:

“Paul Mellon (1907-1999)

Paul Mellon, one of the foremost American philanthropists of the 20th century, lived nearby. An heir to the vast banking and industrial fortune left by his father, Andrew W. Mellon, he supported universities, civic improvement projects, conservation efforts, and fine-arts institutions. With his second wife, Rachel “Bunny” Lambert Mellon, he amassed a world-renowned art collection, donated more than 1,000 objects to the National Gallery of Art, and made substantial contributions to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Mellon achieved international success as a breeder of racehorses. In 1975, he donated land to Virginia for the creation of Sky Meadows

State Park, about five miles west of here.”

The marker will be placed at the intersection of John S. Mosby Highway and Rokeby Road in Upperville.

Rokeby Stables

“Paul Mellon established Rokeby Stables near here on property purchased in 1931 by his father, Andrew W. Mellon, financier and U.S. secretary of the treasury. Paul Mellon bred and raised champion racehorses, including American Way, Grand National Steeplechase winner in 1948; Arts and Letters and Fort Marcy, Horses of the Year in 1969 and 1970, respectively; Mill Reef, winner of Europe’s most prestigious races in 1971; and Sea Hero, Kentucky Derby winner in 1993. Mellon twice won the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Breeder. He collected equine art and donated many pieces to the National Gallery of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Yale Center for British Art, which he founded.”

The marker will be placed at the intersection of John Mosby Highway and Rokeby Road, Upperville.

“Mary Elizabeth Conover Mellon (1904-1946)

Mary E. Conover Mellon lived nearby with her second husband, the philanthropist Paul Mellon.

Interested in the humanities and deeply influenced by the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, she was instrumental in establishing the Bollingen Series of books in 1943 to publish Jung’s writings in English and to disseminate works on anthropology, art, literary criticism, philosophy, and comparative religion. She was the series’ first editor and the first president of the Bollingen Foundation, founded by the Mellons in 1945 to support the publishing enterprise and to issue fellowships, grants and prizes in the humanities. Mary Mellon died in 1946 and is buried here at Trinity Episcopal Church.”

The marker will be placed at 9108 John S. Mosby Highway, Upperville.

Warrenton’s Circuit Rider expands hours, adds new stops

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Circuit Rider bus service in Warrenton expanded service on Oct. 1 to meet growing demand.

The hours of operation now span 12 hours per weekday instead of 10.

The service now operates from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The hours on Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., stay the same.

A second bus was also added.

“On-time performance has become a challenge. With increased ridership over the years, we have found it impossible to stay on time,” said Phil Thompson, director of Virginia Regional Transit, which operates the service.

By adding the second bus, the service area will be divided in half with a “hub” location on Keith Street.

New bus stops have been added at the North Rock Shopping Center, Lord Fairfax Community College’s Warrenton campus, the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility, the Fauquier Free Clinic and service to Fauquier Hospital was increased.

The cost per ride remains 50 cents.

Ridership averages 2,256 passengers per month, Thompson said.

The Circuit Rider has served Warrenton for 20 years. The town of Warrenton and the PATH Founda-

tion together are providing $68,000 in local funds to match the federal and grant funds covering the cost of the service expansion.

The full schedule for the Circuit Rider can be found at http://cms. revize.com/revize/warrenton/document_center/Community/circuit. pdf. The phone number to inquire about the Warrenton service is 540825-2456.

Zoning board OKs kennel, U-Haul rental, union office

By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals approved permits last week allowing the Communications Workers of America to open an office in Marshall; a Bealeton training and boarding kennel to make improvements; Nick’s Country Store in Bealeton to add a U-Haul renting facility; and a Midland resident to open of a home-based landscaping business.

Action was swift on each following separate public hearings.

Frisky Paws Boarding Academy

Frisky Paws owner Sonny Madsen needed a permit to make improvements to the existing kennel located at 10160 Avatar Way, Bealeton.

Mike Wintermyer, who owns property south of the Frisky Paws Boarding Academy, complained of noise from barking dogs when they are let out for exercise.

BZA member Maximilian Tufts Jr. said he thought the noise would be muffled by the soundproofing and air-conditioning planned by the owner in making the upgrades.

At the suggestion of BZA Chairman John Meadows, the special permit includes placing the outdoor exercise area for the dogs on the north side of the kennel, farther from the Wintermyer property.

Meadows also added a stipulation that the owner develop an evacuation plan to remove the dogs in an emergency.

The permit approved by the BZA sets a limit of no more than 30 dogs and prohibits commercial breeding.

No more than five employees are to be on the site at the same time, but there must be at least one present at all times.

The BZA approved the kennel special permit by a vote of 3-0 with member Bill Chipman abstaining because as a realtor he had a conflict of interest in the matter. Member Benjamin Tissue Jr. was absent. Voting

Kettle Run grad Mike Parker lands spot on ‘The Voice’ Mike Parker, a Gainesville resident who was a star football player at Kettle Run High School in Fauquier County, landed a spot on Team Jennifer Hudson on The Voice.

Parker, 23, advanced in the televised talent competition on Monday by singing “So Sick” by Ne-Yo. On weekends, Parker performs at local clubs. He traces his ability to his musically talented parents.

“It was his parents that helped him realize he needed to get back to his musical roots and take a bold move towards making his dreams come true,” according to a news release from The Voice.

Parker graduated from Kettle Run in 2013.

in favor were Meadows, Tufts and Mary North Cooper.

Communication Workers of America

The Communication Workers of America plans to use an existing home in Marshall as an office and put up a second one as a meeting place for union members. A special permit was needed for the office use.

The property is at 4186 Winchester Road, within the Gateway area of Marshall and the historic district. It is at the juncture with Old Stockyard Road.

Courtney Martin, a resident whose

property adjoins the CWA site, asked if construction work hours could be limited. She was told they wouldn’t begin before 7 a.m.

Stipulations added by the BZA call for screening the parking lot and requiring that work begin no later than June 1, 2019. Local 2222 President Jeremy French said he hoped the union would be able to occupy the existing building by Jan. 1, 2019.

CWA Local 2222 is moving its union headquarters to Marshall from Annandale. Local 2222 represents 750 private and public sector workers in the fields of technology, airlines, news media, education, health

care and public service, law enforcement, manufacturing and others.

U-Haul, landscaping business

By 4-to-0 votes, the board also approved special permits for Brian Keith Deming and Carrie Helene Deming to operate Deming Lawn and Landscape LLC as a home business at 2494 Kenner Lane in Midland and for the rental of small trucks and vans from a U-Haul service added at Nick’s Country Store, 11127 Marsh Road in Bealeton. A small inventory of vehicles for rent will be stored behind the country store.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Caps off to local high school graduation rates Graduation rates in 2018 remain on the upswing for area schools. At a time when good news seems harder to come by, this is worth celebrating.

Fauquier County’s Class of 2018 hit a record 96.1 percent on-time graduation rate, according to a new report from the Virginia Department of Education, putting Fauquier schools 13th in the state among Virginia’s 132 school divisions and second among similarly-sized school divisions. That rate far exceeds the state average.

The report defines “on-time” graduation as entering ninth-graders graduating four years after they start. Fauquier’s rates have steadily been on the rise since 2008.

It should be noted the graduation rate OUR VIEW for Fauquier County’s black students increased to 95.5 percent in 2018, also beating the state average rate of 89.6 percent.

Meanwhile, Prince William County also saw graduation rates rise for the 11th straight year. The county’s rate of 92.1 percent also beat the state rate.

The graduation rates of all student groups, including black, Hispanic, white, Asian, economically disadvantaged, English learners and students with disabilities, also surpassed the state averages, the school division said.

Prince William’s graduation rate rose nearly 9 percent in the last decade.

When taking into account the challenges faced by many schools, including overcrowding and teacher shortages, the fact that such a high percentage of kids are staying in school and earning their diplomas is good news.

Earning a high school diploma has become an absolute necessity. Students who lack one are denied the many of the most basic opportunities. They cannot enlist in the military and can be shut out of even minimum wage jobs.

Finishing high school successfully also opens the doors to career advancement and further educational opportunities down the road.

Just as important is the impact an educated citizenry has on society as a whole. High school graduates who have a good foundation on how and why things work are far more likely to take an interest in and have a positive influence in the community.

In the end, in a public school setting, we all want to know we are getting value for our investment. These positive graduation rate numbers are a relatively good indicator of money well spent.

Well done, students, teachers, administrations and staff.

GUEST VIEW

Denver Riggleman is the person we should send to Washington For many, it would be obvious that I would be biased toward the Republican candidate in the race for the 5th congressional district. This I readily admit. However, the last debate between the two candidates should have solidified anyone who is on the fence.

First, I must congratulatae BOTH Denver and Leslie on a very civil and informative debate. The battle was truly on policy and ideas. Civility ruled the day, and each candidate was respectful of the other and the rules of the debate.

Upon watching the debate, it Del. Michael became clear to me as to why Webert Denver Riggleman would be the person that we should send to Washington. Throughout the debate, Mr. Riggleman routinely stated that he would act in a bipartisan fashion when it comes to the 5th district.

This means that he would support policies that he felt would be beneficial to the 5th and oppose

those that aren’t, regardless of who is working on those policies. While in contrast Mrs. Cockburn almost always began with a form of resistance to the current Administration. Hopefully, the call for bipartisanship hasn’t fallen in the 5th, and the Virginia Way will prevail.

Governing is difficult, and the government, in general, is immense. I have seen this at the state level and cannot imagine the complexity and size of the federal government. In order to ensure that our federal government is working for the people and becoming right-sized, we need to send someone who is detail oriented and already has an idea of what needs to be done. This is where I believe Mr. Riggleman excels. Through his work, he already has an idea of the size of our federal government and will not be blindsided with its complexity. As he stated in the debate, EVERY department should be audited as both sides of the aisle have continuously pointed to bloated spending across our government from welfare to the Department of Defense.

Finally, the most telling part of the debate and

what should solidify many behind Denver was the last question of the debate: “What is a question you wish you had been asked?” The answers were laudable. Mrs. Cockburn said she wished she had been asked about climate change. Energy efficiency, rising tides and working to better our environment are certainly important issues.

However, Denver’s answer shows that he is genuinely in touch with the needs of our communities across the 5th and not just here in Fauquier and Rappahannock. Denver wished that he had been asked about the opioid epidemic — the epidemic that has decimated communities across all segments of society. The tragedy of this is what Denver wished he had been asked about. He then offered ideas to help. This is the type of person I want to represent me in Washington.

I hope those who read this will appreciate what Denver has to offer our communities. I ask you to join me in voting for Denver Riggleman in November.

Republican Del. Michael Webert represents the 18th District in the Virginia House of Delegates.

YOUR VIEW

Trying to make sense out of nonsense

Echoes of Republican bias in 5th District race

Today (Oct. 3, 2018) was a banner day for the “your view” section of the FT. Never have I read so many mixed up opinions on the hot topics of our times.

For example, an FT staff writer covering the Kaine/Stewart first televised debate cites Stewart for suggesting Kaine might be among a host of unidentified bureaucrats guilty of immoral sexual behavior toward women, “without evidence” mind you. I’m assuming she must have momentarily looked away from the televised hearing of the Christine Ford/Brett Kavanaugh issue where the left has found Kavanaugh unfitting to hold a Supreme Court bench seat because of immoral sexual behavior towards women — without evidence.

Next, one writer has changed her vote of approval for Denver Riggleman because he favors an investigation of the charges surrounding the Ford/Kavanaugh issue asking “... what are they going to investigate?”

Let me suggest for starters (using the same metric used for Kavanaugh) — his character; his lifelong accomplishments; his political philosophy; his lifelong behavior with women; his veracity in response to the charges alleged against him; his motivation in responding to the allegations, etc. Just put a “her” where a “his” appears, applying it appropriately. Pretty simple, seems to me! Never mind she now votes with those making a mockery of the principle of presumed innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, never mind it’s not a criminal case.

Then we read a piece, “Videos reveal much about 5th District candidates,” that ends with, “Plus Ms. Cockburn is taking zero PAC money.” Really?

Fact is Ms. Cockburn is endorsed

Last Thursday’s (Sept. 28) Senate hearing dispelled any naive hope that Republican men in power are responsive to women’s experience.

[Judge Brett] Kavanaugh’s gross disrespect of Sen. Amy Klobuchar and the all-male Judiciary Committee majority’s disregard of a sexual attack on a 15-year-old girl should put that wishful thinking to rest.

This Republican bias against women resonates in the Congressional Race for the 5th District.

Republican candidate Denver Riggleman has vowed to vote with the right-wing Freedom Caucus if elected. The Freedom Caucus has led the charge to destroy the Affordable Care Act’s guarantee of health coverage for millions of individuals with pre-existing conditions.

The same Caucus has threatened a government shutdown unless Congress cuts all funding for Planned Parenthood, which would deny hundreds of thousands of women reproductive health care.

Some people think that the large and concealed penis of Big Foot in the picture on Riggleman’s Facebook page is a joke. But you’d be right if you see that it barely conceals his disrespect for women.

On November 6 we can show that we have had enough of this.

Vote for the woman and for a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives. Let’s elect Leslie Cockburn.

We have one thing that protects us from evil men. Our Constitution.

It protects us from all evil. In it, we have a rule of law for our government which separates us from the power of man. Our forefathers gave us this Constitution and we now have the “social media” that has taken on the power of our Constitution. We listen to “false news” instead of the truth. We want to be

like other nations.

Our schools do not teach the “law of the land” (our Constitution).

We do not see that other nations have failed miserably. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion.

We began as a nation with a government that recognized our creator.

We have become a nation that has no honor for an elected president.

We scream about “false news” but do not protect ourselves from it.

By not studying our Constitution.

We have accepted “judges” from the F.B.I. to make decisions, which is not their job. We do not accept forgiveness and our creator.

by the J Street PAC (a.k.a. the Soros connection) as are, at last count, 131 Democratic incumbents and/ or challengers (in the 2018 midterm election), including congressmen from Virginia’s 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 11th congressional districts, not to mention Senators Kaine and Warner.

As such, on their website, I could have donated up to the max limit of $2,700 to Ms. Cockburn’s account, or any one of the 131 members listed. Or, I could have made a donation “into the pot” to be spread among all members once listing my bio and my method of payment and, then clicking on the “submit” button. Did I mention the system also accepts “tips” in various percentages, which I could have added to my designated amount? Three pinocchios for Ms. Cockburn .

Last, I compared our FT’s “Your View” section with the Washington Post’s opinion section where any articles written in support of across the aisle members are heavily lopsided to the port side (left). Actually, none existed!

Thank you, FT for allowing dialog from both sides. We are indeed fortunate.

The Blue Door’s secret Flint Hill restaurant rapidly losing hidden jewel status

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

The lyrics to the classic rock ‘n’ roll hit “Green Door” centered on, “…what’s that secret you’re keeping?” But the secret behind a local dining establishment opened just five months ago is: it has no secrets.

Unless, of course, you’ve yet to discover its flavorful menu.

The latest casual dining establishment in the area is gaining a reputation for quality food, quiet ambiance and focused service.

The Blue Door Kitchen & Inn, in the village of Flint Hill, opened in May and its owners Andrea Pace and Reem Arbid have quickly secured a warm spot in the tummies of local and Northern Virginia diners.

The restaurant could well have been called The Green Door except for a whimsical exchange between the two business partners shortly before opening.

“We kept coming up with names that neither of us cared for and I told Andrea, ‘You know, it doesn’t really matter. People change the name of restaurants all the time. For all that it matters, we could just call it The Blue Door,’” said Arbid.

“Hmmm, I kinda like that name,” responded Chef Pace. “So, do I,” answered Arbid. Bingo. The restaurant had a name.

The color of the front door is a rich, deep blue and easily catches the eye of travelers passing by. But Pace did not want to be permanently locked into just a single color of blue. Arbid told him not to worry.

“There are 50 shades of blue,” she assured him.

But the color of the door is of minor importance to those who have dined there. Walking through the door and enjoying its varied menu is their focus.

Old World experience

The heart of any eatery is the individual behind the range. Chef Pace, 52, is a native of South Tyrol, Italy, located in northeastern Italy on the border with Austria; he speaks both Italian and German. As a young man he studied at an Italian culinary school and then worked in a restaurant called Villa Mozart where he was further trained by a Michelin star chef.

Owners Andrea Pace and Reem Arbid take a break from kitchen duties.

Later his mentor moved to New York City to open a restaurant and Pace joined him as a sous chef. For nearly 20 years Pace worked at various restaurants in the Big Apple until he moved to D.C. in the early 2000s to continue his career.

In 2007, his extensive experience led Pace and Arbid to open Villa Mozart in Fairfax City. The fine dining establishment was named in honor of his original mentor and gained a wide following and critical acclaim.

Last year, he closed Villa Mozart with an eye toward establishing a

causal dining restaurant in Northern Virginia. Successful fine dining reaps acclaim but it’s also a lot of work. The new goal was to ease the workload while continuing to draw on his extensive kitchen experience.

But a new location was not quickly forthcoming. Then one day they received a call from a previous customer who was traveling through Flint Hill and spotted the former Public House restaurant for sale.

“Reem, I’m out here in Rappahannock County and I’m looking at a place that has your name written all over it,” said the ad hoc real estate agent.

“We had no clue where Rappahannock County was but we arranged to see the building. Our first reaction was, ‘wow’,” said Arbid. The building was larger than they needed and included four upstairs guest suites, “But we fell in love with it.”

It also included an herb and vegetable garden, something Pace has always wanted to nurture as part of a restaurant. While a rainy spring and summer has been a gardener’s challenge, the future is colored green for more estate grown produce to be gracing menus.

In understanding the early success of the restaurant, keep the “past is prologue” in mind. Pace was trained in classic Italian cooking with an emphasis on simplicity and freshness.

“Andrea does not try to cover a plate with 16 different ingredients.

His uses only four or five at the most. He tries to stay true to each ingredient. If there is artichoke in the dish, you will taste the artichoke,” said Arbid.

The chef’s menus fuse Old World cuisine with modern technique and flair and include slow-cooked sauces and handmade pastas and pastries.

Prices are moderate.

A major boost for The Blue Door was a recent positive review by the Washington Post’s food critic Tom See BLUE DOOR, Page 14

Reminiscent of brightly colored doors that you’ll find throughout Europe, The Blue Door in Flint Hill is fast garnering a legion of foodie fans since its spring opening.

Sietsema. The resulting publicity alerted many of their former customers of the new location and generated a spike in business.

“The nice thing about the review was a lot of our previous customers who we had not seen for a while came out and dined with us. It was fun seeing so many people from our past,” said Arbid.

Their goal, however, is to build clientele from the local community.

Having never operated in a seasonal impacted business, the owners know winter months in a rural area can be a difficult business proposition. Local guests need to be converted to loyal diners.

There are no plans to expand beyond the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday service hours; Fridays and weekends include both lunch and dinner service.

“Our staff is young and it’s not large. When you come in we want to be able to give our customers great service and great food. We don’t want them to wait two hours for something to come out of the kitchen. We want to stay focused on excellent food and service,” said Arbid.

Access National and Union Bankshares announce merger Two regional Virginia banks – Union Bankshares and Access National – announced Friday they will merge, with Union acquiring Access in an all-stock transaction.

The merger will create “the leading Virginia-based regional bank with an unmatched presence across the commonwealth,” according to a press release announcing the deal.

The merger comes less than two years after Access merged with Middleburg Bank, which occurred in October 2016.

Based on financial data as of June 30, 2018, the combined company would have total assets of $16.0 billion, total deposits of $11.9 billion and gross loans of $11.4 billion, the press release said.

“We are excited about the opportunity to bring our companies together to enhance both

our products and customer service capabilities,” Raymond D. Smoot Jr., chairman of Union’s board of directors, said in the release. “We believe that our two companies are stronger together, and the combination gives Union a uniquely valuable franchise to create long-term shareholder value.”

Access President and Chief Executive Officer Michael W. Clarke said the move will allow Access shareholders, clients and associates to “reap the rewards of accelerating growth and opportunity” in the regional market.

“Our go-forward position as Virginia’s regional bank allows our stakeholders to realize benefits it would have taken years for us to accomplish independently,” Clarke said in a press release. “We are thrilled about being an important part of the

Union team and look forward to what we can accomplish together.”

Clarke will join Union’s board of directors and will assist in the integration.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Access common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.75 shares of Union common stock, valuing the transaction at approximately $610 million, or $29.19 per share based on Union’s closing stock price of $38.92 on Oct. 4, 2018, the press release said.

The merger agreement has been approved by the board of directors of each company. The companies expect to complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RATES AND TO REVISE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GAS SERVICE CASE NO. PUR-2018-00131 •Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA”) has applied for authority to increase rates and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service.

•CVA requests an increase to its total revenue requirement of $22.2 million.

•A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on April 23, 2019, at 10 a.m.

•Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.

On August 28, 2018, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”) filed an application with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings, requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of February 2019, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to gas service (“Application”). In its Application, CVA indicates that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company’s non-gas base revenues by approximately $22.2 million per year, which includes approximately $8 million currently being collected by the Company outside of base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (“SAVE”) plan (“SAVE Plan”) pursuant to Code § 56-603 et seq. (“SAVE Act”). CVA states that it is proposing to include recovery of the costs associated with approximately $67.5 million of net rate base SAVE investments as of December 31, 2018, in base rates, as permitted by the SAVE Act. Further, the Company indicates that its proposed revenue requirement incorporates the income tax savings from the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the federal corporate income tax from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. CVA asserts that its Application is in compliance with the Commission’s Order dated April 25, 2018, in Case No. PUR-2018-00005.

CVA states that the requested increase in annual non-gas base revenues reflects its costs and revenues for the test year ended December 31, 2017; the increase in the Company’s rate base since its last base rate increase in 2016; an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 10.95%; and certain rate year adjustments that “reasonably can be predicted to occur” during the 12 months ending January 31, 2020 (“Rate Year”), as permitted by Code § 56-235.2; as well as certain customer benefits described in the Application.

In the Application, CVA represents that in the time since it was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has made significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system for the benefit of customers and to accommodate steady customer growth. CVA states it will have invested more than $300 million in capital expenditures on behalf of its customers from the beginning of 2017 through the end of 2019. The Company asserts that, of this amount, it will invest over $110 million in modernization through its SAVE Plan and approximately $130 million to support growth on the CVA system.

In its Application CVA states that, in the time since the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has also continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system (“DIMP”) by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. CVA indicates that, apart from DIMP initiatives, the Company conducts other operations and maintenance activities focused on further enhancing the safety of CVA’s infrastructure, its employees, and the communities it serves.

CVA asserts that, during the Rate Year, it expects to continue safety-related initiatives including (i) implementation of a Pipeline Safety Management System; (ii) remediation of post1971 shallow transmission mains and remediation of unplanned exposures on distribution mains; (iii) maintenance and repair of measurement and regulation stations; (iv) enhanced emergency response; and (v) enhanced right-of-way maintenance.

According to the Company, the proposed rate increase would increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.4 dekatherms from approximately $74.32 to approximately $79.93, or by 7.55%.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents.

Shannon Ferguson caught this 53-yard bomb from Gabe Chumley on the first play from scrimmage as Kettle Run downed county rival Fauquier 35-6. This Friday, the Cougars (7-0) host Sherando (5-1) at 7 p.m.

Ferguson catches 3 TD passes in Kettle Run’s 35-6 win over Falcons

By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

Go deep, Shannon. Right now.

On the first play from scrimmage Friday, Kettle Run senior wide receiver Shannon Ferguson caught a 53-yard touchdown pass from Gabe Chumley in a 35-6 victory over Fauquier.

“We planned that the whole week,” Ferguson said. “Coach came to me Monday to tell me that the first play was a deep ball, so I said, ‘Alright let’s get it.’”

Ferguson ended up with three TD catches for 105 yards, all in the first half, as the Cougars (7-0) won their sixth straight against the Falcons (06) to take an 8-4 lead in the rivalry.

Facing a tall task against the No. 2 team in the initial Class 4 Region C standings, Fauquier tried to catch the Cougars off guard on a game-opening onside kick, but Kettle Run was ready and recovered near midfield, before unleashing the Chumley-to-Ferguson passing onslaught.

Chumley was excellent in a 4422 win over Millbrook on Sept. 28

and stayed sharp against Fauquier, completing 18-of-23 for 253 yards and 4 TDs. Ferguson had eight catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns last year playing behind other players.

Now he’s the main man with 31 catches for 552 yards and 11 TDs in six games this year.

“It has come down to my confidence level,” Ferguson said. “Last year I lacked confidence in my first real year playing varsity. I sat behind senior David Haiss (now playing at Hampden-Sydney College) so I got to learn a few tips from him and he passed the torch.”

Ridge Scott added a 3-yard TD run in the first half as the Cougars surged to a 28-0 lead.

“I think our kids are excited to play against a team that is that talented.

They have been the best team in this conference for a long time so we are excited.”

–KETTLE RUN COACH CHARLIE PORTERFIELD talking about Friday’s game with Sherando

A burst of personal fouls and two long completions set up quarterback J.T. Diehl’s 4-yard TD run for Fauquier, making it 28-6 at halftime.

Chumley’s fourth TD pass of the night came when he hit Levi Carver on a 17-yard TD strike in the fourth quarter for the only points of the second half.

The Falcons kept the Cougars scoreless in the third quarter, though, a bright spot for Falcon coach Joe Prince.

“We finally calmed down,” said Prince. “We are young and some-

times we lose our composure. We make one mistake and compound it with another.

“There were a lot of things … that shouldn’t have been going on in the game,” he said. “That made it emotional. We got whipped up front.

They owned the trenches and they could do what they want.”

Guess who’s climbing the standings? Kettle Run!

By Fred Hodge

District standings

Special to the Times

After starting 0-4, Kettle Run has made the necessary adjustments to win back-to-back Northwestern District volleyball games.

Kettle Run knocked off Liberty, 25-20, 25-22, 25-19 on Sept. 27. Still hungry, the Cougars next collected a lengthy come-from-behind 25-22, 20-25, 12-25, 25-23, 15-10 win over Sherando Oct. 2.

The wins propelled Kettle Run from a tie for last place to fourth at 2-4 and 8-9 overall.

“Confidence is a factor with high school and always an edge in sports,” said coach Janelle Sutliff.

Kettle Run had dropped a fiveset match earlier to Handley, but increasing confidence and solid conditioning led to overcoming Sherando, Sutliff said.

The Cougars lift weights twice a week and have practiced on most Saturdays to find the answers in a district filled with formidable competition.

“Our athletes are working so hard to improve every day,” Sutliffe said.

“I am so proud of their growth as individuals and development as volleyball players.”

Jordan Dixon led the Cougar hitters against Sherando with 10 kills, with Meghan Meador and Mae Sutliff both adding seven and Nicole Piercy four.

Coach Janelle Sutliff thinks weight training has helped her Kettle Run girls win two key district games. “We count on our strength and conditioning program during those times,” she said.

Libero Chelsea Dodson picked up 18 digs, while Lily McIntyre handed out 21 assists to go with eight digs.

Kate Pohlmann had nine assists.

In the Liberty match, Olivia Conte (six), Rachel Schwind (five) and Meador (five) combined for 16 kills. Meador also had three aces, and joined Piercy and Dixon for six

blocks. Dodson picked up 17 digs.

Kettle Run also won the freshman match against Liberty 25-13, 25-5, and the Cougar junior varsity was a 25-15, 25-4 victor.

In Liberty’s other contest of the week, the Eagles dropped a 25-11, 25-9, 25-7 decision at tri-leader Millbrook.

Fauquier (12-4) lost sole possession of first place on Oct. 2, suffering a damaging three-set defeat at James Wood 25-18, 26-24, 25-15. The Falcons are 6-1, along with James Wood and Millbrook.

A lack of spiking accuracy hurt.

“We passed the ball well, and Rachel [Crowe] played good defense,” said Fauquier coach Diana Story. “We just couldn’t get a hit into the court.

When we did, it was a kill.”

Story said the loss might be “a wakeup call” and was pleased to see Fauquier bounce back to beat Sherando 25-16, 25-13, 25-19 on Oct. 4.

Fauquier had six hitters register three or more kills, led by Molly Ayers’ nine and Kiki Scott’s eight.

Oravec had seven, Olivia Eisele four and Adgate and Kayla adding three apiece.

Constantino handed out 17 assists and Oravec one. Crowe picked up 14 digs to Scott’s 10. Oravec and Meredith Scott both scored solo blocks.

Auburn jets to third straight middle school boys cross country crown

‘Burning’ up the course

By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

With one race to go, no one’s catching Auburn this season.

Led by eighth grade speedster Noah Lenky, Auburn Middle School won its fourth boys cross country meet of the season last Friday at Fauquier High School. The Wildcats have locked up their third straight title heading into Friday’s final race at Crockett Park.

Lenky, an Auburn eighth grader, has won four of the season’s five races. “Noah is a great kid who makes running look effortless,” said coach Donna Wilbur.

Other top Wildcats are Mark Fallin, Conor Madigan, Owen Rogers and Evan Gentry.

Wilbur says her roster is deep and dedicated. “We have over 40 guys who show up to practice every day and work real hard. I think we have a wonderful team synergy. The boys really enjoy being around each other,” she said.

Cedar Lee eighth grader Colin Arey won that race.

“What I am most proud of is the way the team rebounded after a bad day at the office on Monday when

we faltered a little too much,” said Wilbur, who called Cedar Lee “a team to reckon with in the future.”

Cedar Lee finished in second in the most recent race, with Warrenton third for the fourth consecutive week.

Other top runners this year include Taylor’s Mason Markell, Warrenton’s Jack Carter and Marshall’s Griffen Eck. The girls cross country season is in the spring.

Falcon runners shine at Woodberry

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Few area teams possess the depth of the Fauquier cross country program.

The Falcons headed into Saturday’s Woodberry Forest Invitational minus five of their top seven girls and two of the top seven boys due to SAT testing, yet Fauquier won the

varsity and junior varsity girls trophies, with the boys taking second in the varsity race.

The varsity girls won their championship by besting seven other schools with 44 points to 71 for runner-up Riverside.

Of 63 runners, Aubrey Fernandez was top Falcon, taking eighth in 22:28, followed by Eva Del Gallo (ninth, 22:32), Katelyn Argo (10th,

22:42) and Morgan Strickland (12th, 23:02).

Kettle Run was third in the race with 95 points, led by Abby Gray (4th, 21:54) and Jada Dudley (6th, 22:08).

Nick Matthews (5th, 17:28) and Brian Bolles (6th, 17:32) were the Fauquier pace setters among 136 boy varsity entries. Riverside was the champion, 64-82, over the Falcons

in the 17-team race.

John Paccassi (18th, 18:07), Kyle St. Clair (24th, 18:27), Stephen Hiner (32nd, 18:49) were other top five Falcons, with Brendan Daly (46th, 19:13), Josh Moylan (47th, 19:18) completing the top group.

Liberty’s boys took 10th, again paced by standout Sam Rodman who was 14th in 17:59.

Daymude, Miller lead Eagles to twin wins

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Jordan Hadler and the Eagles looked good in downing Kettle Run and Orange last week.

The Liberty field hockey team improved to 4-6 overall with nine goals in two away games last week.

A healed and almost-healthy Eagle squad notched a 6-0 mercy rule win at Orange last Thursday two days after knocking off Kettle Run, 3-1.

At Orange, sophomore Daphne Daymude exploded for three goals in the opening 22 minutes before senior Kaila Lacey struck with four minutes remaining in the half for a 4-0 lead.

Daymude added her fourth score

midway through the second half with Lacey adding the final tally to trigger the mercy rule with 6 minutes, 32 seconds left.

“Daphne had a great game, but the whole team really came together and played like a collective unit,” coach Katie Norman said, noting five of the six scores came of penalty corners.

“We have nine sophomores, so the hope is to build from that, chip away each game. I think they are peaking at the right time of the year,” Norman said.

Elizabeth Sorto, Skyler Hadler and Jada Milton registered assists, and goalkeeper Noelle Crane recorded her second shutout of the season.

Eagles edge Cougars, 3-1

With injury problems a theme this fall, Norman was happy she had almost everyone return in the 3-1 win over Kettle Run (4-6). “At one point in the season, I had one sub. Tonight, I had six,” Norman said.

Conversely, Kettle Run coach Beth Todd lost two starters to injury against Liberty to go with several other absences.

“I had an injured player and a sick player. Now I’ve lost a center attack and a center mid in this game for, I’m going to keep my fingers crossed. Right now, I’m out of subs,” said Todd.

The clash was scoreless until 1:48 remained in the first half when Eagle junior Emma Miller broke the tie.

“I just knew this was an important game, so when I saw it right in front of me, I knew I had to get it in,” Miller said. “Jordan Cabanban assisted me, and I shot it into the corner. I was happy because that was the first goal, and I knew that would set the tone for the rest of the game.”

Falcons fall twice

Fauquier (6-3) dropped both games last week, as the county-wide field hockey injury bug continued to hamper the Falcon lineup and depth.

The team lost, 1-0, at Class 6 Patriot Oct. 1 before heading to Culpeper the next day. Missing its two leading scorers, the Falcons could not retain a 1-0 first-half lead in a 4-1 loss.

FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

IS THIS THE YEAR KETTLE RUN BEATS SHERANDO?

By Jeff Malmgren and Peter Brewington Times Staff Writers

Kettle Run is 0-4 lifetime vs.

Sherando, so Friday’s matchup holds particular significance for the Cougars.

It’s Kettle Run’s biggest game of the year, with the host Cougars (7-0) vying with Sherando (5-1) to win the Class 4 Region C regular season title and Northwestern District crown.

“I think our kids are excited to play against a team that is that talented,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said. “They have been the best team in this conference for a long time so we are excited.”

On Monday, the undefeated Cougars jumped a spot in the rankings to region No. 1 while the Warriors (5-1) fell one slot to No. 5 after suffering their first loss of the season.

Sherando’s loss came to Martinsburg, which has a 7-0 record while vying to win its seventh West Virginia AAA state championship in the past nine seasons.

Always a powerhouse, the Warriors own a slew of wins against the Cougars. Sherando beat Kettle Run 35-14 last year, and won 24-7 in 2014, 17-7 in 2013 and 43-0 in 2008.

Overall, Sherando has outscored Kettle Run 119-28. Last year the Warriors beat Liberty for the region championship and made the state semifinals.

“The next few games are going

Class 4 Region C rankings (Top 8 make playoffs) 1, KETTLE RUN (7-0) 26.571 2, Loudoun County (6-0) 26.333 3, Woodgrove (3-2) 24.600 4, Riverside (5-2) 23.571 5, Sherando (5-1) 23.166 6, Handley (5-2) 23.142 7, Millbrook (5-2) 22.428 8, Dominion (3-3) 21.833 9, Heritage (5-2) 20.714 10, LIBERTY (3-3) 20.333 11, James Wood (2-4) 18.333 12, Loudoun Valley (0-5) 16.200 13, Park View (0-1) 16.000 14, FAUQUIER (0-6) 14.833 to be huge,” said Cougars receiver Shannon Ferguson, whose squad visits Liberty (3-3) on Oct. 19. “These rivalry games are always huge.

“We have every capability of beating any team in the state,” he said. “It just comes down to being stable mentally.”

Liberty at Handley

With a 32-23 win over James Wood, the Liberty Eagles moved up one spot to No. 10 in the Class 4 Region C rankings.

So they have a 3-3 record with four games remaining and only eight region teams qualifying for the playoffs.

Their next opportunity to improve their region ranking comes Saturday with a road game against Handley.

Cougars Noah Podpaly and Andrew Adair are hard at work preparing for Friday’s mega-showdown with Sherando (5-1) in Nokesville.

“We have a 1-0 mentality, so not focused on pressure of playoffs,” Liberty coach Sean Finnerty said. “Just the pressure of going 1-0 every week.”

Handley (5-2) poses a challenge due to its balanced offense, which features stars in receiver Kevin Curry and running back Malachi Imoh.

Curry already has 767 yards and 12 touchdowns on 44 receptions, while

Imoh has 657 yards and seven touchdowns on 115 carries.

Courtland at Fauquier

The 0-6 Falcons have four games left in their effort to win their first game. On Friday, the Falcons host Courtland (2-4), which lost at Liberty 28-17 on Aug. 31. Only twice has Fauquier gone winless, going 0-9-1 in 1967 and 0-10 in 1980.

ARE YOU HORSEMAN ENOUGH?

Altman headed to South Africa for grueling 220-mile race

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

For some, adventure in the saddle is a spirited gallop across a windswept Piedmont pasture in October.

Jamey Altman wants more, so he’s returning to take on perhaps the world’s most challenging horse race, a 220-mile gruelathon along South Africa’s rugged east coast.

As of press time, the Bull Run Hunt whipper-in was winging his way to Durban, South Africa, for a dynamic test of endurance horsemanship and survival skills called Race the Wild Coast ride.

“I rode the first Coast race in 2016. It was the most intense four days of my life,” said Altman, 42, of Orange County.

The race starts with orientation Oct. 14 and 15, with riders setting off on course Tuesday, Oct. 16 at rural Port Edward on the rugged east coast, running some 220 miles along the beach, through sandstone formations and ridgelines, crossing treacherous quicksand bogs and fording 32 swift, deep rivers to the finish line at Kei Mouth.

Riders have five days to complete it, with front-runners finishing in four.

There’s no course, per se; competitors navigate

by GPS from vet check to vet check, and to base camps each night.

Altman’s girlfriend Jennifer Oliver saw an online ad for competitors for the 2016 race and urged him to

COURTESY PHOTOS

Jamey Altman, 42, at left shown whipping in to the local Bull Run Hunt, is taking another crack at one of the world’s most extreme horse events, the Race the Wild Coast ride in South Africa, above. Starting next week, he’ll negotiate 220 miles of coastal wildlands in five days. He was fourth in 2016. Altman’s progress can be followed at Rockethorse Racing on Facebook. apply. Besides being an experienced rider, Altman is a lifelong woodsman, hunter and trapper with navigation and orienteering skills. Plus, he has a Marine Corps background, is a licensed pilot, a diesel mechanic, and is certified in SCUBA and surfs.

“I knew the swimming wouldn’t be a problem,” Altman said.

He finished fourth in the 2016 race, just a few minutes behind the winner, a native South African Zulu named Monde Kanyana, who beat an international field of largely Mongol Derby veterans, including 2014 winner Australian Sam Jones, who finished second. Canadian endurance rider Sarah Cuthbertson was third, then Altman.

“I’ve been studying topo maps and GPS and Garmin,” Altman said. “This year I’m in it to win it.”

Altman and the other 19 riders will get two days of pre-race training Sunday and Monday.

They’ll meet their team of three horses, chosen by a blind draw and consisting of mixed Arabians and native Boerperds.

They’ll do a test horseback swim across the mouth of a river where it empties into the Indian Ocean. They’ll pack backpacks with up to 11 kilograms of safety supplies, emergency equipment,

food and water.

“Once you leave the start, you’re in the wilderness,” Altman stressed. “It’s not only horsemanship. It’s navigation, it’s strategy, it’s reading the land. A lot of the time you get off and run with your horse, and there were climbs and descents so steep no way a mounted horse could make it up or down.

“It’s rough.”

Barry Armitage and Rockethorse Racing produced the first Coast race two years ago. He modeled it on the Mongol Derby, a 600-mile route created by Genghis Khan in 1224. Armitage won the 2017 Mongol Derby, and envisioned a similar challenge in his native South Africa.

Like in endurance racing, which requires 50 or 100 miles on a marked course, horses most efficiently complete the Coast ride mostly at the trot, Altman said, with some walking and some canter.

The winner and second-place finisher in the inaugural Coast ride dueled at a flat-out gallop on a sandy beach. But horse health is paramount, with multiple vet checks daily and two horse changes.

The entry fee is about $6,500, plus travel expenses, but Altman said it’s worth it. “It’s the trip of a lifetime, and I’m getting to do it twice.”

One woman’s vision now a reality The Polly Rowley Arboretum dedicated at Hill School

By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

Not long after neighboring landowner, the late Stephen C. Clarke Jr., and his daughter, Jane, donated more than 130 acres of mostly open farmland to the nearby Hill School in Middleburg, Polly Rowley went to work. Two of her children and two grandchildren attended the junior kindergarten through eighth-grade private school, and her vision for the open space was crystal-clear.

Starting in the mid-1990s, she and many volunteers would help transform what had been hay and corn fields into a magnificent arboretum that would accomplish multiple goals. It dramatically altered the landscape, enhanced the quality of life for locals and visitors from near and far and, perhaps most of all, provided a living, breathing outdoor learning laboratory for Hill’s students for generations to come.

It’s clearly been mission accomplished. On Friday, Oct. 5, The Polly Rowley Arboretum was dedicated with a day-long celebration at the school that included a formal ceremony as well as a symposium and tour conducted by Rowley herself.

“It’s very clear,” said Hunt Lyman, Hill’s Academic Dean and a long-time faculty member. “Polly is the unmitigated hero of this story.”

During the dedication ceremony

It was a beautiful afternoon in Middleburg as The Hill School celebrated its new addition to the school’s landscape. Daylong celebrations included the formal ceremony dedicating The Polly Rowley Arboretum which includes thousands of treasured trees. Pictured (left to right) are Grounds Supervisor Bob Dornin, Polly Rowley, Mike Morency, Head of School Treavor Lord and faculty member Lois Johnson-Mead. The Hill School is a private, K-8 co-educational day school in Middleburg established in 1926. attended by students, faculty, parents, alums and many more, Head of School Treavor Lord related the arboretum’s history in storybook style.

“A great friend of the school named Polly Rowley decided to help make the land better for the students and their teachers,” Lord said. “She gathered her friends and she brought in rich soil and seeds and saplings, and she and her friends planted trees.

And she had a vision in her mind of how, many years in the future, these trees would grow strong and healthy, children would play in them and learn from them, and the trees would make the school beautiful.”

“Finally, the trees got very tall, and they sheltered the paths and buildings, and every year they created hundreds of thousands of leaves.

And they became an important part of what the children learned, and everyone who came to visit was amazed at the beauty that was the

trees’ gift to the school.”

The arboretum was selected in February 2017, by the Smithsonian Institution and the Garden Club of America, for inclusion in the Archives of American Gardens, one of 51 properties nationwide added to the archives last year.

Rowley designed the landscape and spent years selecting, obtaining, and planting the thousands of trees on the property, many of which look as if they have been there for years.

For Rowley, a serial gardener going back to her own school days, it truly was a grand labor of love.

“When I grew up in Connecticut, my father was really into plants,” Rowley said in a recent interview.

“We had a beautiful garden and I would see this all around me. They gave me a plot to raise raspberries and I would sell the produce…

Plants and trees have always just been a part of my life.”

Liberty high school senior earns Eagle Scout Award Justin Tyler Wilt, of Boy Scout Troop 1930 in Bealeton, will be awarded Scouting’s highest award on Oct. 13. The ceremony honoring his promotion to the rank of Eagle Scout will take place at 1 p.m. at VFW Post 7728 on Harper’s Run Road in Morrisville.

In 2015, Justin was the top-earning Boy Scout popcorn salesman within Culpeper and Fauquier counties. His total of $13,000 ranked him as the 13th top-seller for BSA’s National Capital Area Council, which encompasses Frederick to Spotsylvania. His motivational speech to local Cub Scouts resulted in their highest sales that same year!

To earn scouting’s senior rank, Justin completed 36 merit badges, held leadership roles in his troop, and

completed a significant community service project. Justin was elected as the troop’s senior patrol leader, patrol leader, as well as other roles during his six years with the troop. Fellow scouts also elected him to the Order of the Arrow, scouting’s honor society.

Justin’s Eagle service project was to research, plan and construct a native wildflower garden optimized for pollinators. The garden is at the entrance to Verdun Adventure Bound in Rixeyville. Materials were donated by JK Enterprises, CK Home & Hardware, the Farm and Home store in Bealeton and Home Depot of Warrenton.

Justin is a senior and a National Honor Society member at Liberty High School in Bealeton. He is a naturalist with a green thumb who plans to study meteorology after graduation.

Rowley had a number of volunteers helping over the years, but the plan and design was virtually all hers, and so was much of the nurturing. When droughts threatened young saplings and bushes, she arranged for a water truck to come on the property and, “I got out there at night and watered.

“The project never scared me or fazed me. I just went out there and did it ... it was one of the best times of my life.”

The conclusion of Treavor Lord’s storybook remarks may have said it best.

“The moral of the story is this: ‘The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.’ And everyone at Hill School is happy that Mrs. Rowley decided to be such a good friend to the school more than 20 years ago, so we can enjoy her beautiful trees now – and remember to keep planting more for the next generation of children who will be born tomorrow.”

OUR TOWN

First-grade teacher Laurie Mayer had an idea to offer her students at St. James Episcopal School in Warrenton. On Thursday, Oct.4, for the third year, students were given the opportunity to visit with folks representing the town where they live. In teams of two they moved from table to table meeting and learning about law enforcement’s K-9 dogs, what it’s like to be a doctor, fun with fitness or how to take great photographs as just a few of the examples.

Going out in a blaze of glory Chasing fall foliage in the Old Dominion

By John Hagarty Contributing Writer Virginia’s beauty is renown. From its beaches, to the Piedmont, to the Blue Ridge Mountains, planning a day or weekend getaway is a challenge handily met.

The question is where to go?

If the urge to hit the road strikes during the fall color season, the answer is almost a universal, “to the mountains.” With the Appalachians running the entire western spine of the commonwealth, stunning views coupled with rural drives make heading westward an obvious choice.

This is particularly true for citizens of Fauquier County who live less than an hour from the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. The Elysian Fields.

But the question in many minds this year might be, “Will the monsoon-like spring and summer deaden the fall colors?” The short answer is, not likely.

In fact, October’s glory is already beginning to emerge on the high peaks of the Blue Ridge. Soon enough it will be showcasing reds, golds and yellows as they tumble down the slopes and into our backyards and local parks.

Temperatures are the driving force for a colorful display of autumn colors. The cooler the better.

Evening temperatures in the 50s and 60s will accelerate the magical chemistry behind foliage.

Why the color?

At its height, fall’s forest fireworks seemingly creates abundant colors out of thin air. Where does this artist’s palette spring from? It’s been there all the time but the leaves’

Wet and soggy weather can dampen red coloration, but we’ve had plenty of sun-filled days, so look for those reds amidst the golds, yellows and oranges. work ethic simply hid it from view.

During the summer months each leaf is a wee food factory. The process occurs deep within each cell of the chlorophyll-filled leaf. Sunlight strikes the chlorophyll, triggering a transformation of carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates containing sugars and starch. Tree food.

During the vigorous growing season, the vibrant colors of fall are simply masked by the all-important chlorophyll. But when temperatures take a dip, so does the green machine’s activity level. Presto. Autumnal glory emerges.

The completion of this intricate

process occurs when a special layer of cells develops at the base of each leaf stem. Slowly it weakens the bond between leaf and branch and the next thing you know we’re all raking piles of detritus off our lawns.

The circle is then completed. Like all living things, life springs from the earth and ultimately returns to its resting place.

Yet to contemplate too heavily on the science behind the beauty of an autumn landscape is to lose sight of the joy of an afternoon drive through the countryside.

Going out in a blaze of glory: Chasing fall foliage in the Old Dominion FALL FOLIAGE, from Page 27

Where to go

The obvious answer is the mountains. But there’s one caveat to a day serenely driving the nearby Skyline Drive or Blue Ridge Parkway further south. Everybody else has the same idea. Yes, the views are impressive but a bumper-to-bumper caravan might not induce the relaxed frame of mind you’re seeking.

Consider an alternative. Head west on U.S. 211, north up U.S. 17 or south on U.S. 29. When you’ve pulled away from the population centers, select any secondary road off the main highway and let the endless backcountry roads take you wherever. The goal is to stay off the four lane highways as long as possible. Create your own custom designed backcountry road excursion.

One of the modern marvels of today’s technology is the GPS systems embedded in our vehicles, standalone auto units or cell phones. The fear of getting lost in rural areas is now a thing of the past. You can invest in a spirit of adventure without the stress of constantly asking, “Where are we?”

The beauty of these day trips is experiencing rural Virginia at its finest. Since minimal traffic will be encountered, you’ll find few vehicles to deal with so you can amble along at 25 to 35 mph – even slower when you hit gravel country lanes. Simply pull over when a local comes up be-

Taking the road less traveled will yield spectacular fall color when you least expect it. hind you.

The payoff comes as you pass bucolic farms and pastures with peaceful grazing livestock, rolling hills with views up to the Blue Ridge and endless ponds and lakes. And of

course, the amazing fall foliage.

With the density of wineries in our nearby counties you’ll likely stumble upon an occasional “grape shop” where you can take a break and responsibly enjoy its vineyard products and pastoral views.

Here are just few suggestions for launching your private travel agency: • Take U.S. 211 west past Amissville and take a right onto Poes Road South. Travel about four miles and take a right onto Crest Hill Road and then an immediate left onto Poes Road North. You’ll emerge on U.S. 522 north outside of Flint Hill.

Rappahannock Cellars is three miles north on U.S. 522.

• Take U.S. 211 west to Little Washington. In the village, take a right onto Main Street and then a left onto Harris Hollow Road and travel Harris Hollow until it becomes Gid Brown Hollow Road and ends at U.S. 211.

Quievremont Winery is on your left just before U.S. 211.

• Take U.S. 17 north to a right on to Va. 245 to The Plains. Take a right on Va. 55 and then an immediate left onto Halfway Road. Be adventurous here and take any upcoming left of your choosing to wander through beautiful horse country.

• Take U.S. 29 south and take a right onto to Freeman’s Ford Road near Remington. The goal here is to simply “get lost” in the alternately open and forested landscape with several country road options to make it happen.

Remember: your GPS is your bail out buddy.

These are just a few of the dozens of “carriage rides” awaiting spirited leaf peekers. Chances are you’ll develop some favorites you’ll return to time and again.

Fall color forecast looks promising in the Blue Ridge, according to Virginia Tech’s John Seiler All signs are pointing to a vibrant season of autumn color this year, thanks to plenty of summer and early fall rain, according to Virginia Tech tree physiology expert John Seiler.

“I don’t see any reason to not be optimistic,” said Seiler. “It looks like a really good fall, as all the soils have been recharged with good rainfall.

Everything is well saturated, and even if we didn’t get another drop of rain during October, the trees are in a really healthy position.”

“If it stays wet and gloomy, that

could potentially dampen the red coloration because the reds need some nice clear days of sunshine to develop. But I think it’s going to be good. People should be looking at their calendars and pick a good Saturday or Sunday, either the third or fourth week in October, and plan your trip accordingly.”

John Seiler teaches in the College of Natural Resources and Environment. He specializes in environmental stress effects on woody plant physiology, including water and pollutant stresses.

Pick a perfect pepper

Pick a pepper: long hot, Scotch bonnet, Serrano, red chili, Hungarian wax, Poblano, Cubanelle, jalapeño and more. Stuffed, pickled or fried. Or, pick your favorite Mexican inspired dish: quesadilla, burrito, taco, enchilada, fajitas – all of which would be nothing without a pepper here and there.

At El Agave’s Warrenton Village Center location, guests are immediately served up a bowl of corn chips and salsa, which comes in various degrees of heat. In the Latin, Capsicum annuum dates to prehistoric time in South America. They account for most of this fruit served up in Mexican dishes as well as up to 200 varieties and colors of bell peppers: yellow, green, orange, red bell and (yes) even chocolate.

Mild peppers include bell, banana, pimiento and sweet cherry.

The blistering hot pepper group includes varieties of Anaheim, cayenne, serrano and jalapeño. And, make note: large cherry peppers are fiery. And, be warned – Tabasco varieties of Chili Piquin and Small Red Chili are melt-your-mouth searing.

“Peppers are one of the easiest vegetables to grow for local gardeners. It is one of the plants I always recommend for first-time gardeners,” said Timothy Ohlwiler, Fauquier County Extension Agent-Hor-

Sweet peppers come in a variety of colors. Pretty and peppy, they make a great healthy snack eaten fresh or mixed in a salad or salsa.

“In spite of sharing the same name, table pepper and the sweet and hot peppers we grow are not related. The black and white pepper we grind comes from the seeds of the plant, Piper nigrum.”

– A BRIEF HISTORY OF PEPPERS FROM GARDEN.ORG

ticulture. “From hot to sweet and green to yellow, there are a range of colors and flavors.”

Larry Markham and his wife, Lisa, of Broad Run, have grown peppers at their Peas And Carrots Farm for the last seven years. At one point they had 200 sweet pepper plants and even sold to The Ashby Inn in Paris. Yet, now, as he focuses on his work for the government, they have just a few plants for family and friends.

Markham offers up these tips for those who might want to jump into the pepper business next season. He recommends raised beds with a pH soil between 7.2 and 7.4. “They need lots of nitrogen,” he said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture also recommends fresh-cut peppers for snacks. However, because freshness is often brief, studies have been done to identify which types of peppers have a longer shelf life.

John Stommel, a plant geneticist and research leader with the Genetic

Improvement of Fruits and Vegetables Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, evaluated 50 varieties of peppers. The conclusion: cutting causes cell damage and causes loss of important fluids.

Fresh-cut sweet bell and elongated peppers displayed deterioration, while jalapeño and Serrano peppers didn’t lose fluids until after 14 days of storage.

“These results demonstrate that extensive genetic variation exists in peppers,” Stommel reported, “which can lead to improved fresh quality via traditional breeding.”

And oh, we almost forgot…to wash it all down, try sangria or a mango margarita. Perfecto.

Donkey rescue welcomes Daisy Mae Daisy Mae, the new white baby donkey of Dogpatch Farm in Warrenton, brayed “Hello world!” when she was born a month ago.

Daisy Mae is always clingy close to her mom, Betty, and seems to be nursing nicely, as well. Dogpatch owner Sharon Maloney, an accomplished and now semi-retired racehorse trainer, has turned the farm – the original site of the Fauquier SPCA – into a rescue donkey haven.

Maloney has had as many as 28 donkeys at one point last year, but several have already been adopted and there are now 18, counting Daisy Mae. Most were saved from kill venues in Texas, and several came from a Virginia farm where they were badly neglected and mistreated.

At Dogpatch, they’re all thriving, with frequent treats of leftover corn chips supplied by the El Agave restaurant in Warrenton and donated to some very deserving and delighted donkeys.

Huge for Halloween

TIMES STAFF PHOTOS/ANITA SHERMAN

Adding inflatables to your yard for the holidays creates a whole new landscape. This menagerie of mythic medieval creatures is sure to add drama when trick-or-treaters come to call.

Large, colorful and winged dragons landed on the lawn Saturday morning in a wooded Warrenton neighborhood. Brought to life by resident Brenda Hetherington, they swayed in the cool, gentle breeze, anchored and some able to flap their wings much to the delight of her two daughters.

Hetherington, a fairly new neighbor on Forrest Road, has decorating for the holidays in her DNA. “I’ve been doing this since I was a girl,” she smiled noting that she tries to add a new feature each year. “I enjoy doing it and people seem to enjoy seeing them.” With a quick smile, she noted that while decorating for Halloween is fun…just wait until Christmas.

Got decorations? Send your photo(s) to Community Editor Anita Sherman at asherman@ fauquier.com We’d like to share a few with our readers.

Ideal mountain retreat in Marshall Welcome to “Valeview” in Marshall, Virginia.

This extraordinary mountain retreat in northern Fauquier County is being offered for sale for the very first time.

The breathtaking setting offers winter views of the valley and mountains beyond. With 25 acres of supreme privacy, the land climbs to the ridge of Big Cobbler mountain and is nearly surrounded by a conservation easement.

Inspired by the cathedral ceilings in Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains, this distinctive home

combines features of a Swiss chalet and a California mountain house. “Valeview” was lovingly designed and constructed with western red cedar logs imported from Canada with many details completed by local craftsmen. The crowning touch on this impressive house is the dazzling copper roof.

Designed for large family gatherings, the great room is certainly the heart of this home with informal living spaces that are completely integrated. The awesome cathedral ceiling is 32 feet at its peak, and a dramatic wall of windows allows for a constant connection with nature. Outside, covered porches and cantilevered balconies provide multiple “outdoor rooms” to enjoy the peaceful setting.

This home, at 10420 Twisted Oak Lane in Marshall, represents the power of inspiration and the achievement of a lifelong dream. At just $699,000, this is an amazing value.

Meet many ghosts and goblins along the way as you venture on the breathtaking walk through the hollows. Haunted Hollow is at 8272 Maple Tree Lane, Warrenton. Patty Dick Leonard’s family purchased the farm in 1961. Her family members all had witnessed unexplained happenings in and around the farm.

The pieces of their story started to fall into place with the discovery of a diary that was found in the walls of the barn. The entries, dating back to 1941, led to the beginning of Haunted Hollow. Read the diary entries on the Haunted Hollow website at www.hauntedhollowva.com.

Father James R. Gould, Pastor

Down through history, the “hearse” (also known as a “funeral coach”) has evolved from a simple carrying device known as a “bier” to 19th-century wooden hearses with intricately cut mahogany carvings and velvet draperies to the motorized vehicles that we know today. While hearses such as landaus, limousines, and vans still predominate the hearse landscape, many individuals are choosing other types of vehicles as their conveyance of choice. Some prefer vehicles that they had driven during their professional lives for their final journeys, while others favor their dream car, truck, or other vehicle. These alternatives to the traditional black hearse are meant to personalize the funeral procession in a way that most appropriately expresses the inner spirit of the deceased.

Today, end-of-life commemorative services range from the traditional funeral, to a memorial service, and the increasingly popular celebrationsof-life. If you have yet to realize the immense value of such a collective acknowledgement of loss, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

“I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.”
