County considers consolidating courthouse space By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County is undertaking a study of the space needs of the three county courts for the next 20 years and will look at placing them in a single building to make security easier and to cut costs.
The circuit, general district and juvenile and domestic relations courts are near each other but in separate buildings. The General District Court is at 6 Court St., next to Warrenton Town Hall. Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court is at 14 Main St. The Circuit Court is at 40 Culpeper St. The study will determine “whether they can fit
into the circuit court building and will look at potential growth over the next 20 years to see whether it can cover that growth,” said County Administrator Paul McCulla. “This will tell us whether the building can handle it or whether we need an See COURTHOUSE, page 4

The Fauquier County School Board will see details of a plan to hike pay and benefits for school nutrition workers at the school board meeting Oct. 15. (After press time. See Fauquier.com for updates.) The lowest-paid could see a midyear increase in their hourly wage from $10.31 to $12.50. In addition, all food service associates would be able to work four-hour shifts instead of three-hour shifts, and therefore be able to access parttime health benefits. The increase would affect 69 workers, many of them dishwashers and cashiers. In another change effecting this group, “Worker I” and “Worker II” classifications would be changed to the more inclusive “food service associate.” The Personnel Committee of the Fauquier County School Board met See NUTRITION, page 7 INSIDE Business.............................................15 Classified............................................50 Communities......................................42 Faith...................................................40
Fauquier Habitat makes a difference in Warrenton By Alisa Booze Troetschel Contributing Writer
Fauquier Habitat for Humanity builds more than houses these days. It’s building community on Haiti Street in Warrenton. The change in focus began three

Correction
In last week’s newspaper in a History section story titled “Building on the past, looking to the future,” the number of units of the former Vint Hill barracks that could be converted into housing units was misstated. Echelon Resources Inc., a Virginia company that rehabilitates historic properties, proposes to convert former men’s and women’s barracks into a maximum of 200 units at what would be called Vint Hill Lofts.

Warrenton Town Council will purchase BB&T building Town Hall would move from Court Street to new Main Street location By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
The Warrenton Town Council agreed Oct. 8 at its monthly meeting to move ahead with plans to purchase the former BB&T building at 21 Main St. for $2.2 million – $100,000 less than anticipated. The reduction in price was negotiated by Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer after a 90-day study period revealed that asbestos remediation, IT infrastructure and other modifications would be necessary. After renovations estimated at $195,000 and repairs estimated at $550,000, the building will be converted into a new Town Hall for Warrenton. The cost for the project is estimated at $3.2 million. The town voted in May to begin negotiations to purchase 21 Main St,; the current Town Hall at 18 Court St. is 46 years old and not adequate for the current town staff. Now that the 90-day study period has concluded, a memo provided by Schaeffer to council members about the state of the building concludes, “The current space limitations and needed upgrades in the existing Town Hall, the renting of space on the private market, and the opportunity 21 Main Street presents for a multigenerational investment for the town has led to a recommendation
that the structure be purchased and be used for a new Town Hall. Potential collaboration with the county on meeting space that could better serve our citizenry, adequate space for staff, along with further alleviating parking pressure by removing staff from on street parking, makes this an attractive and timely opportunity.” Warrenton real estate agent Anne Hall during citizen's time expressed her hope that the building on Main Street could be developed into a boutique hotel rather than a Town Hall. She admitted that her idea may be too late, but said that perhaps a group of investors could be convinced to build a hotel, which would fill the town coffers rather than empty them. During a discussion of the purchase, council members emphasized that the BB&T building has been on the market for several years already and is being offered at an attractive price. Town Councilman Sean Polster (at large) said that he has spoken to officials from other municipalities who are envious of Warrenton’s good fortune. He said that other towns are looking at $7 to $10 million price tags for a new town hall. Mayor Carter Nevill agreed, “I spoke with a mayor of a town outside of Richmond and they are going to have to pay $8 million for a new town hall.” He added, “The free market
had time to look at it and did not take advantage … This is a remarkable opportunity and we have not gone into this lightly. We’ve given it proper deliberation and careful thought.” Schaeffer said she has spoken with commercial realtors about the property, asking why the property had not been snatched up by the market. She explained that the sheer size of the building is daunting, and the space would have to be chopped up into smaller units. Councilman Kevin Carter (Ward 5) said, “This is a smart decision. It would be great to have a hotel there, but that hasn’t happened.” Councilman Robert Kravetz (Ward 4) added, “We made the right decision. We should forge ahead.”
Necessary repairs
Schaeffer's memo to council members explained that during the assessment of the Main Street building, “foundation issues were identified early in the process.” It also said that water infiltration in the basement could not be completely assessed, and that any repairs to address water getting into the basement would close First Street for up to two months. Asbestos was found in the building and the HVAC system needs repairs, according to the report. Of the HVAC system, the memo says, “We

Warrenton Town Council members voted Oct. 8 night to purchase the former BB&T building on Main Street. had hoped to fully test the systems during the study period, but the fire at the BB&T building on Lee Highway resulted in a temporary relocation of their staff. That limited our testing so each unit will need to be tested.” The memo further states, “The unanticipated cost that was not considered during the initial evaluation was the aging IT infrastructure. Staff incorrectly assumed the building, having served as a bank, was equipped with fiber and moderate IT wiring for our basic needs as a Town Hall; it is not. The building lacks the necessary fiber and cable infrastructure to support the current town operations. The required installation will maintain our current operations with an updated system.” A full building security assessment will need to be done once the renovations are finished and space has been allocated.

YOUR VOTE MATTERS! Historically, less than 20% of residents vote in local elections. More than state or national elections, local elections impact you more directly. On November 5th, one of the most important choices you will make is voting for the Commissioner of Revenue. The Commissioner of Revenue’s office is responsible for maintaining accurate taxpayer records in: • Real Estate (including Land Use and other special programs) Angela@VoteSmithNov5th.com • Personal Property • Business Taxation • State Income Taxation The Commissioner of Revenue’s office provides: • Annual assessments to the Treasurer • Tax revenue projections to the county The Commissioner of Revenue’s office is the direct link between the taxpayers and the Board of Supervisors. With the office open for the first time in 24 years, you have an opportunity to elect an individual with an independent, objective viewpoint who will fairly represent ALL taxpayers. You need someone with a strong financial, management and customer-service background. Angela Smith possesses all of these qualifications and a strong belief that this local position should not be about politics, but rather about best serving ALL taxpayers.

County considers consolidating courthouse space COURTHOUSE, from page 1 addition or a new courthouse.” He said the study will take three to four months to complete. This week, McCulla plans to hire a firm to do the study. Putting all three courts into the current circuit court building, which has entrances off Ashby and Culpeper streets, would presumably require the relocation of county offices that are currently located in the building. Those offices include county administration, community development department, commonwealth’s attorney, county treasurer and commissioner of revenue. Where a new courthouse can be built is currently limited by state law. Without the approval of voters at a referendum, any new site must be across the street from the current location. McCulla said there is space next to the Sheriff’s Office a short distance down from the circuit court, but that location is not adjacent to any of Fauquier County’s courthouses. “We could potentially put a courthouse there,” McCulla said. “That would give us some flexibility.” The county will pursue a legislative change to allow construction of a courthouse 500 feet away. If a courthouse were to be moved out of Warrenton, that would be a concern for the Virginia General

Fauquier County Circuit Court on Culpeper Street in Warrenton Assembly, said Eldon James, who is a consultant for Fauquier County on legislative matters in Richmond. But the move Fauquier is considering shouldn’t be a concern. Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Butler, Lee District, said he’d like to talk to all of the judges to find out more about their needs. He noted a new judge is joining the circuit court and he wants to hear from him.
Fauquier Habitat makes a difference HABITAT, from page 1 “It’s easy to see the house but it starts with the people,” said Darryl Neher, executive director of Fauquier Habitat For Humanity.
The Haiti Street neighborhood
Fauquier Habitat for Humanity has a presence on Haiti Street, a section of town sandwiched between Old Town, High Street and Eva Walker Park. The organization has built 11 houses on Haiti Street in the last 30 years. Another house is under construction. Habitat currently owns five dwellings on the street. One is informally used for neighborhood gatherings, two homes are uninhabitable and the remaining two are unavailable for rent at this time. This past June, community development specialist James Johnson began to facilitate conversations with residents to identify goals for their Haiti Street neighborhood. Periodic cleanup days was one stated goal. Warrenton police officers lent a hand in sprucing the street up. Residents also asked for financial education, so Habitat is lining up speakers. A community garden was planted last year. With the help of the Piedmont Environmental Council, it was replanted this past growing season.
Project Engagement
After listening to the issues and
concerns of residents, Habitat staff developed a curriculum for Project Engagement -- a series of training courses. The first class was in July, and the second in September. Community members learn leadership, organization and communication skills, and how to advocate for their goals. Warrenton government, Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center, Boys & Girls Club, and churches are ready to help as needed. Building social cohesion is an ongoing effort. Haiti Street is very much a frontporch community. The connections are social, Correia said, but until now, residents weren’t working together to effect change. Habitat brings Haiti Street residents together twice a month. Anywhere from a handful to 15 to 20 people attend, Neher said. Alice Gibson was among the dozen or so residents who attended in September. She has lived on Haiti more than 25 years. Habitat built the house she lives in now. She sat at her oval oak kitchen table while a welcome breeze blew through the window on a baking autumn afternoon. She appreciates the support she receives from caring neighbors and Habitat staff during the bi-monthly meetings. Gibson does have concerns about her neighborhood, though. She wants drivers to find their brake pedals going down the street. And, she would like loud music to end at a decent hour. “They play music late at night and disturb neighbors and the ones
James Plowman, who has been Loudoun County’s commonwealth’s attorney, will replace Judge Jeffery W. Parker on Nov. 1. Parker is retiring.
Security concerns
The Sheriff’s Office is in charge of security for the three courthouses. “The courts are secure now. We’ll review any security we have at the Sheriff’s Office, courthouses and jail as part of the discussion to figure
out the space needs of the courts,” said Sheriff Bob Mosier. The Sheriff’s Office has 26 fulltime deputies and two part-time temporary deputies assigned to court security and serving papers. They are duly sworn officers who can be assigned to other duties as well. Mosier said the number of deputies on duty at the three courthouses fluctuate depending on whether any of the courts are in session. Deputies are stationed inside courtrooms, they escort criminal defendants into the courthouses and stand watch at building entrances. Visitors to the courthouse also walk through a scanner placed just inside the entrances. A total of 194,451 people entering the courthouse were screened and deputies supervised the movement of 1,687 inmates for court appearances during 2018, according to the Sheriff’s Office annual report. The county entered a bid of $2.5 million late last year to buy the former BB&T building for use as office space, but the bid was rejected. The town of Warrenton this month purchased the building for $2.2 million. It will be moving Town Hall offices there from the current location at 18 Court St. McCulla said the county might be interested in using the 18 Court St. building for meeting space but not for offices.

About Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity is an international organization that builds homes for people who make 30 to 60 percent of average median income for the area. Applicants qualify if they live in overcrowded or substandard housing or pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Participants must contribute 250 hours of “sweat equity” to the project; usually, they help to build homes. They pay mortgage payments to Habitat. Homes cost less than usual market value since much of the labor is performed by volunteers. “Affordable housing is not poverty housing,” said Darryl Neher, executive director of Fauquier Habitat for Humanity. who have to get up in the morning and go to work,” said Gibson. She said she talked to these neighbors, but “they paid no mind.” Carolina Gomez regularly attends meetings that Habitat holds. A pleased expression crosses her face as she describes trusting her neighbors. She believes that what she leaves in her yard will stay there and not be taken. But Gomez is concerned about some neighbors’ use of alcohol and drugs. She, her husband and their three offspring, who are 19, 12, and 11, moved into a Habitat-built house on Haiti Street two years ago. One very cold day she saw a woman lying on the ground. She walked to her and said, “You’re very important. How can I help you?” Habitat’s end goal is to be out of a job. Residents will take over the role of convening, planning and putting their plans into action. Success, though, is measured in “relentless incrementalism,” Correia said.
Community Impact Grant
Habitat’s efforts at community building just got a hefty boost. In late summer, Fauquier Habitat for Hu-
manity received a Community Impact Grant of $100,000 from the Virginia Housing Development Authority. The money will fund a survey of the neighborhood to determine what options exist for creating affordable housing, including but not limited to single-family homes. Strategies will take zoning ordinances and the comprehensive plan into account. The objective is to maintain the ratio of occupant-owned to rental housing. “We’re going to dream big,” Neher said. Habitat will collaborate with an architect to develop design standards for modern housing models that reflect the area’s architectural past. That’s in the future. But for the present, Deloris Yates gets excited about one component of Habitat’s efforts in her neighborhood – the cleanup days. She wants everyone’s yard to be tidy. Yates is Gibson’s daughter and has lived on Haiti for a dozen years. “I ain’t lying,” Yates said. “It used to be bad down here -- the crowd and the activities.” Speaking of Habitat, she said, “They’re doing a good thing.”

Lawsuit against county dismissed Turf farm owners claimed ordinance overreaches county authority By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A lawsuit challenging Fauquier County’s 2018 regulation of non-agricultural excavation fill material has been dismissed. Thomas Schottler, who owns four turf farms doing business as NOVA Turf Farm, bought 56 acres of land off Brent Town Road in Midland in 2017 and hired R.C. Hawkins to bring in fill to level the land to create a commercial turf farm. Neighbors began complaining about the number of dump trucks, noise, dust and runoff. In answer to this and complaints about the same activity elsewhere, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors in September 2018 enacted an ordinance to regulate non-agricultural excavation material. It sets a limit on the amount of fill that can be deposited before a special exception needs to be obtained from the county in order to deposit more. The limit is no more than 200 cubic yards within a 24-hour period or more than 4,200 cubic yards within one year. The county subsequently issued a notice of violation to Schottler and R.C. Hawkins Construction Co., Inc. for not abiding by the new standard. Mike Hawkins and Schottler sought a reversal from the county’s board of zoning appeals but lost in December 2018. Schottler, his wife Jody, and Hawkins then filed suit in Fauquier County Circuit Court arguing that Virginia law says that agencies of the commonwealth or its contractors can’t be forced by a locality to obtain a special exception to store or dispose of non-agricultural fill material. Some of the fill material brought to Fauquier County was from state road projects. The county sought dismissal of the lawsuit, arguing that neither Schottler nor Hawkins were contractors for the commonwealth
themselves. It also argued that since Schottler sold the property to Hawkins on June 26, he no longer had a legal interest in the property and that both Schottler and Hawkins’ company lost the ability to pursue the suit as “aggrieved parties.” The attorney for the Schottlers and Hawkins argued they remained aggrieved parties. The Schottlers lost personal and property rights when they were barred from finishing establishment of the turf farm and ended up having it to sell the property. Hawkins is the current owner of the property and is still working to prepare it to become a turf farm, according to the counter argument. In an Oct. 1 ruling, Judge Jeffrey W. Parker granted the motion to dismiss the suit with prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs can’t re-file on the same claim. “I feel the county is wrong. I’m trying to prove a point. You can’t make rules up and harass a farmer,” Hawkins told the Times last month. “You can’t exceed the Dillon Rule. You can’t overstep.” The Dillon Rule limits localities in Virginia in what they can do. By September, Hawkins had started to seed a portion of the land off Brent Town Road to grow turf for sale. Hawkins said he’s made a $1 million investment in developing the sod farm, including $243,000 to purchase the land from Schottler. His neighbors, Pat Hupp and Jennifer Rainwater, attended Thursday’s board of supervisors to again complain about dump trucks continuing to come and go on the Hawkins property. Cedar Run Supervisor Rick Gerhardt told them their complaints “haven’t fallen on deaf ears” and that the county’s community development department has been working on the matter. Legislative action from the Virginia General Assembly will be sought in the next session to help, he said. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.
An ongoing study of groundwater in Midland will determine if the area can support new wells to serve the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport and nearby properties that could be developed. Jason Early, a senior hydrogeologist with Cardno, Inc., updated Fauquier County supervisors on progress during a work session on Oct. 10. Thus far, existing groundwater data has been evaluated, field surveys have been conducted and test and production wells dug. Aerial photos and topographic maps were studied to locate potential areas to dig wells. Fractures in the bedrock makes water accessible, Early explained. The next step is to submerge test pumps in four production wells. Water will be pumped from them and how fast they “recharge” or refill will be noted. The quality of water drawn will be tested. During one
test, all four wells will be pumped simultaneously for 48 hours. That test will show what effect there may be on existing wells and the aquifer. Two of the production wells are on airport property and two on county property just northwest of the airport. There will be 14 “observation” wells, two on county property, three at the airport and nine on private land where access has been granted or is in the process of being negotiated. The testing is expected to be done during the first week of November, Early said. A final report will be submitted to the county, the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water and the Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority. Assuming the tests are successful and wells go into producction, a water treatment plant will be built near the airport. It will have to comply with height restrictions set by the Federal Aviation Administration, County Administrator Paul McCulla said.

Broadview Avenue construction could begin in 2022 By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Naysayers and supporters of the plan for Broadview Avenue improvements in Warrenton have until Oct. 20 to submit comments to the Virginia Department of Transportation. Forty-seven residents and business owners came out to the cafeteria at Fauquier High School on Oct. 10 to view diagrams and talk to VDOT and town government representatives about the $8.6 million project. The long-discussed project is designed to improve safety, reduce congestion and improve the look of a main artery in town. Crosswalks, 5-foot-wide bike lanes on each side of Broadview,
sidewalk improvements and raised medians are part of the project. The project’s length is just eighttenths of a mile, running north from the intersection of Frost Avenue with Broadview. The schedule calls for the acquisition of right of way and relocation of utilities next summer. Construction would begin in spring 2022 and be completed the following winter. Access to all properties will be maintained during the construction period, according to VDOT. The project’s latest design includes some changes the Town of Warrenton proposed, including midblock pedestrian crossings and twoway left turn lanes.

Leo Schefer, who’s lived in the Bellevue Farms neighborhood in Warrenton for 30 years with his wife, said he thinks the project is “a waste of money. They should put the money into the bypass,” he said, referring to the once-proposed Timberfence Parkway link to U.S. 17. “The county took that off the map. What they need to do is reinstate it.” Schefer said he favored any improvements to Broadview that would make it safer. He liked the raised medians, but he thought roundabouts should take the place of two traffic signals. “I hate to see money frittered away on Band-Aids,” Schefer said. Klaus Fuechsel, who runs Dok Klaus Computer Care on Waterloo Street near the Frost-Broadview intersection, said he likes the inclusion of bike lanes in the project and would use them.
“Everywhere in Germany there are bike lanes. I would hope there will be some separation from the road. I could bike and do some shopping. At the moment the street is very wide. There are a lot of lanes and a lot of accidents. I would hope whatever they do will cause less problems,” Fuechsel said. Comments about the project can be submitted by Oct. 20 via mail, email or delivered to VDOT. Comments should go to David Cubbage, project manager, 1601 Orange Road, Culpeper, Va. 22701; email David. cubbage@vdot.virginia.gov. Comments will go to the district engineer for consideration. The project will enter a final design phase once its major design features are determined, according to VDOT.

Proposals would increase salaries and benefits for cafeteria employees NUTRITION, from page 1 Oct. 10 to get a briefing from Katelin Hays, Fauquier County classification and compensation analyst, about a proposal that would adjust salaries and benefits for nutrition workers to bring them closer to those of bus drivers. School Board Chairman Suzanne Sloane said that when the board agreed to raise compensation for bus drivers, “that was successful. We had a decrease in vacancies.” Currently, the school division has 12 or 13 vacancies in the nutrition program, seven of them in the bottom tier of experience. Hays said that the current rate of $10.31 “is not competitive” when compared to other school systems or in the private sector -- at Home Depot or Walmart, for instance. Raising the hourly salary to $12.50 for 62 employees would cost $116,880 for one year, giving a 14 percent median increase to those workers. Raising the rate and adding one hour to the work day for the seven people who currently work three-hour days would cost $99,710. That number is so high (relative to the number of people it would effect) because adding the extra hour would not only raise the rate and pay for the extra hour, but the cost estimate also takes into account how much the school division might have to contribute for the health benefits of those employees. Not all of those employees would necessarily opt in for those benefits. The change would raise those seven employees’ compensation by a median 15 percent. Executive Director of Administration and Planning David Graham asked the question, when three-
hour-a day workers receive only $10 an hour and no benefits, “Is it really worth it to them to come in to work?” The cost estimate only accounts for the seven currently employed nutrition workers; it does not include the cost that would be incurred if vacancies were filled at this level. Another proposed change would be to operationalize the lead cook position, previously supplemented by Fauquier FRESH, at a minimum rate of $14.15 an hour. This would affect 18 people at a projected cost of $24,000. The fourth proposal, which would increase the total by $106,650 and affect 22 employees, would restructure managers and assistant managers “to ensure a career track.” It would mean that all managers would have a 7.5-hour day (some are now working six-hour days), providing consistency and allowing for more training opportunities. Assistant managers would be paid a minimum of $17 an hour; elementary and middle school managers would be paid a minimum of $17.45 an hour; and high school managers would be paid a minimum of $19.75 an hour. The median increase in pay for this group would be 8.5 percent. The last of the changes would adjust pay for three administrative positions in the nutrition department. School spokeswoman Tara Helkowski explained that these staff members are in charge of menu building and compliance, ordering, training, federal review and similar duties. They would receive a 3.7 percent raise, for a median rate of $21.77. The total cost for the mid-year

proposal would be $176,620. The amount to provide increased compensation for a full year would be $353,240 and would have to be folded into next year’s school budget. School Superintendent David Jeck pointed out that since school board elections take place Nov. 5, the “new board” would be making those decisions. Jeck said that the board’s approach to increasing salaries across the school system has been to “pick a group and hit it hard. Fix one problem and move on to the next. I think that’s the right approach.” Last budget season, the school board and supervisors worked together to give teachers and assistant principals a significant raise. This year, the board is expected to look at
addressing administration and support staff compensation. Sloane said that she has received letters from nutrition workers about a raise, “and I have heard from their co-workers too, supporting the increase.” About the nutrition workers compensation proposal, Jeck said, “I’m really glad we are doing this. It’s the right thing to do.” The full school board could choose to vote on the proposal Tuesday night. If the board supports the plan, the Board of Supervisors would have to approve the use of end-of-year funds to pay for the midyear salary bumps. Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Candidates take questions from constituents By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Two candidates unopposed on the Nov. 5 ballot, three seeking to unseat incumbents, and one seeking an open seat made campaign pitches and answered questions on Oct. 8 during the annual candidates’ night sponsored by the Marshall Business and Residents Association.
Attending were:
• Paul Petrauskas, running as an independent to unseat Mary Leigh McDaniel, also an independent, as Marshall District representative on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. • Ronnie Ross, the Democratic nominee seeking to replace incumbent Sen. Jill Vogel, a Republican, representing the 27th District in the state Senate. • Democrat Laura Galante, who hopes to win the 18th District House of Delegates seat now held by Republican Del. Michael Webert. • Angela Smith, an independent running for Fauquier commissioner of revenue. She faces Republican nominee Eric Maybach on the ballot for the open seat. The winner will replace Ross D’Urso, longtime commissioner of revenue, who decided not to run again. • Duke Bland, who has served 15 years as Marshall District representative on the Fauquier School
Board and is running unopposed for a four-year term. • Sheriff Bob Mosier, who defeated a challenger in the June primary for the Republican nomination and is seeking a second four-year term without an opponent on the November ballot.
Paul Petrauskas
In front of an audience of about 35 at the Marshall Community Center, Petrauskas said the common theme he heard from residents when gathering signatures to get on the ballot was that real estate taxes are too high, and the county is spending too much. Petrauskas, an Upperville resident with a professional background as a financial analyst, said he would seek balanced growth and a more diversified tax base to relieve the burden on homeowners. “I am running as a taxpayers’ advocate,” Petrauskas said “County government is getting disproportionately larger. It’s getting more expensive to live in Fauquier County.” The challenger said officeholders need to separate needs and wants. “If the county doesn’t have the money to pay teachers 100 percent of market rate, why is it borrowing money for a new sports center?” Petrauskas asked, referring to the Central Sports Complex outside Warrenton that’s under construction. The $13.1 million project includes $8.7 million in borrowing.
Laura Galante
Galante said more transparency in health care costs is needed so that consumers know what they face going in. She said there should more career and technical education opportunities for those not seeking a college degree. Galante said she favors changing the composite index formula for determining state funding for local education. Fauquier supervisors see the county being shortchanged because half of the index’s calculation is based on the “true” value of the property and the county has much acreage in “land use” categories of agriculture, forest and open space. The true or market value is higher, so the state provides a lower amount for education. She said she’ll be an advocate in Richmond for local governments seeking to expand broadband access. She also said she supports a regional approach to addressing greenhouse gas emissions. Galante supports background checks before guns can be purchased and she said the safe storage of firearms isn’t getting enough attention as a way to stem gun violence.
Ronnie Ross
Ross said he also supports wider access to education and training in the skilled trades. As a gun owner, he said he supports universal background checks and backs a “tax holiday” to encourage the purchase of

DUKE BLAND
safes to store guns. He said inequities in per pupil funding levels for education need to be addressed.
Angela Smith
Smith said the commissioner of revenue “oversees the ways we get funding” through assessments and taxes. She views the office as a “direct link between the taxpayers and the board of supervisors.” Asked by a questioner to define what is “fair” in terms of the application of tax, Smith said to her it means “equal treatment in the eyes of the law and by the book. Taxes should be affordable and reasonable in a fiscally responsible way.” Part of the job of revenue commissioner, she noted, is to give meaningful financial data to county leaders to help them in their decision making.
Sheriff Robert Mosier
Mosier said he met the benchmarks he set for the first 100 days after taking of office in 2016. The Sheriff’s Office subsequently beSee CANDIDATES, page 9

Guns, minimum wage at issue in delegate forum By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Candidates running in the 31st District faced off on gun reform, increasing the minimum wage and Virginia’s right-to-work laws at a forum at Dar Al-Noor mosque in Prince William County Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, one of two Latinas ever elected to Virginia’s General Assembly, is aiming to hold onto a newly won district after being elected in 2017, when Democrats made sweeping gains in the state legislature. Republican D.J. Jordan is challenging Guzman in the 31st District. The Oct. 10 debate was moderated by Stephen J. Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington and director of its Center for Leadership and Media Studies and organized by the Prince William Area League of Women Voters and the Prince William Committee of 100.
Gun laws
Both candidates said they would support background checks to some degree. The state GOP postponed a second vote on universal background checks during a July special session called by Gov. Ralph Northam (D) to address gun violence in the wake of a mass shooting in Virginia Beach municipal building that left 12 people dead and four wounded. Guzman said she would support legislation requiring background checks and called Republicans’ delay on the measure “unacceptable." “When we are losing lives, like what happened in Virginia Beach, where you don’t feel safe to go to work in a government building, it’s unacceptable,” Guzman said. Jordan said he would “support increased background checks” for firearms, making him one of few state GOP candidates to endorse such a measure. Jordan said both parties should come together “to discuss commonsense gun reform to keep people safe.” “We should be able to do what

Sen. Tim Kaine did when he was a governor to bring both parties together after the Virginia Tech massacre to actually discuss solutions,” Jordan said. Following the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, legislation to require background checks for firearms purchased at gun shows died in a Senate committee. Jordan didn’t respond to emails or phone calls from the Fauquier Times about what specific gun measures he favors. During a candidates’ forum in Fauquier in September, Jordan said, “one person dying from a gun is too many,” but “guns are not the problem. It’s guns in the hands of people with evil intent.”
wage. We should be talking about how to prepare our workers for the future,” Jordan said. Republicans killed a bill to raise Virginia’s minimum wage to $15 an hour in a party-line vote in the state Senate this year. The measure would have brought the minimum wage to $15 an hour incrementally between 2020 and 2024. A House bill to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour in 2020 was killed in a majority-Republican subcommittee in January. Guzman said she would support an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour. “Virginia is one of the wealthiest states, and our workers deserve a living wage,” Guzman said.
Minimum wage
Right-to-work law
Candidates were asked whether they would vote in favor of raising Virginia’s minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour. Virginia is one of 21 states that has not raised its minimum wage above the federal minimum. Jordan said he is open to boosting Virginia’s minimum wage but said $15 an hour might not be “the right number” because it could lead to an increase in automation. “We are already seeing it in places like McDonald’s and other restaurants where some of these jobs are going away,” Jordan said. Jordan, who is African American, referenced a recent study by McKinsey & Co. called “The Future of Work in Black America,” which showed that African Americans are likely to be hit hardest during the next decade as automation continues to chip away at blue-collar jobs. “We’re talking about minimum

He said his office is doing its part to enforce drug laws and that he supports providing recovery options to those afflicted. “The cost of rehabilitation is less than the cost of keeping them in jail,” Mosier said. Asked how many illegal aliens were in his custody, Mosier said only “criminal aliens” are arrested and their backgrounds are irrelevant when officers make an arrest. “We are required by law to run them through the database” to determine if they are wanted by another law enforcement agency or the federal
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
Duke Bland
Bland said, “I have a passion for education, passion for the kids and passion for the community.” He serves as the current vice chairman of the board and chairs the board’s building committee. Bland gave a shout out to McDaniel, saying he has had a good working relationship with her. Bland noted that all of Fauquier’s schools were recently accredited, with Taylor Middle School having been accredited with conditions. The school missed a threshold in English achievement, he said.

Virginia is one of 27 right-towork states in the nation, meaning workers can’t be compelled to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. Detractors of the state’s right-to-work laws say
they favor big business at the expense of workers and restrict workers’ ability to unionize. Guzman said she is in favor of repealing the state’s right-to-work law. She referenced a recent Oxfam report that ranked Virginia last in the nation in worker’s rights as one reason to repeal the law. Oxfam, a British anti-poverty nonprofit, ranked Virginia 51st in the nation, including Washington D.C., for workers’ rights based on its 2019 “Best and Worst States to Work in America” index, which evaluates each state on worker wages, worker protections and the ability to organize. Virginia ranked last in all three categories. Virginia was ranked the best in the nation for business by CNBC in 2019. Guzman said repealing Virginia’s right-to-work would mean workers would, “have a seat at the table so they can have conversations about training, safety and benefits. Right now, they are never involved in that conversation,” Guzman said. Jordan says he is in favor of keeping Virginia’s right-to-work law on the books. He said the right-to-work law is needed to “actually protect workers’ rights. Workers should not have to join a union or pay dues if they don’t want to,” Jordan said.

SPCA Blessing of the Animals celebrates the peaceable kingdom By Robin Earl
Times Staff Writer
The Rev. James Cirillo of Grace Episcopal Church in Casanova presided over the annual Blessing of the Animals at the Fauquier SPCA Sunday afternoon. About 20 dogs, a cat and a guinea pig were blessed by the rector, who has been performing the rite each year for more than a decade. Before giving a personal blessing to each animal, Cirillo led the gathering in prayer. “Oh God, you have made us and these pets and all living things … We thank you for giving us these pets who give us joy. As you take care of us, so also we ask that you help us to take care of our pets who trust us to take care of them. By doing this we know that we share in your own love of creation …” Among the blessed were current occupants of the shelter, former shelter dogs and other pets from

Houdini, a Wheaten terrier who currently is staying at the shelter, was removed from her owners when the breeders were found to have 80 dogs that were not being cared for adequately. SPCA director Devon Settle said staff was taking advantage of the gathering to provide some needed socializing for Houdini. Another crowd favorite was a tiny brown and black mixed breed named Lilly, who had been removed from the same breeding facility. She had been placed with a foster family up until two days before. Settle said, “The foster family was great; they called a few days
ago and said the two puppies they were caring for weren’t doing well.” Settle took the puppies back to make sure they had the intensive medical care they needed. “We lost one puppy, but this one seems to be doing better,” said Settle. Her 8-year-old daughter Morgan is giving Lilly lots of love and attention. Current shelter resident Duke is a big pit bull mix whose tough-looking exterior belies his sweet nature.

Chris and Debbie Cloud of Marshall believe more issue-awareness and information-sharing is needed to build stronger families. They’ve formed a nonprofit called the Family Alliance Network of Fauquier and last week held the first of planned twice-yearly community forums. The initial forum held at the Marshall Ruritan building on Oct. 3 drew an audience of about 35 for the topic “Family and Community – What is being done, what needs to be done and how to be involved.” There was a panel of speakers consisting of Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel, Windy Hill Foundation Director Bob Dale, Just Ask Trafficking Prevention Foundation Director of Development Jacquelin Pinilla and commissioner of the revenue candidate Eric Maybach. After their presentations, questions from the audience were invited. McDaniel ran through a list of government and non-governmental organizations where people might look for assistance, including the county’s social services department, SpiritWorks addiction recovery, the food bank and Community Touch
– a service in Bealeton aiding the homeless and hungry. Dale detailed the Windy Hill Foundation’s efforts to provide affordable housing in Fauquier and Loudoun counties. A total of 310 units have been built since the foundation’s founding in 1983. Of those, 49 are in Marshall and The Plains. Pinella explained that the Just Ask Trafficking Prevention foundation works to bring awareness to the issue of sex trafficking. More information about the threat and the efforts of Just Ask to combat it can be found at justaskprevention.org. Maybach said young people need to get more involved in serving the community and spend less time on cellphones and in front of computer screens. A suggestion was made from the audience that young people be invited to the next forum, which is planned for next May on a date to be announced. Some who attended the forum filled out a sheet requesting topics for subsequent gatherings, such as housing, education, the opioid crisis, abuse and violence, suicide prevention, civil rights, cyber safety, local taxes and gun safety training. The form also allowed attendees to indicate a topic for a focus group they’d like to participate in.

LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF PETITION OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL OF A PLAN FOR ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION GRID TRANSFORMATION PROJECTS PURSUANT TO § 56-585.1 A 6 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA, AND FOR APPROVAL OF AN ADDITION TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ELECTRIC SERVICE
CASE NO. PUR-2019-00154
On September 30, 2019, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed a petition with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for approval of a plan for electric distribution grid transformation projects (“Petition”) pursuant to § 56-585.1 A 6 (“Subsection A 6”) of the Code of Virginia. Specifically, the Company is requesting approval of additional investments over the first three years of its ten-year grid transformation plan (“GT Plan”). The Company refers to these additional proposed investments as “Phase IB” to the GT Plan. The estimated total proposed cost associated with Phase IB is $510.5 million in capital investment and $83.0 million in operations and maintenance expense. Pursuant to Subsection A 6, the Commission is required to issue its final order on the Petition within six months of the filing date. The Company states that Phase IB will focus on six components of the overall GT Plan, including: (i) advanced metering infrastructure (“AMI”); (ii) the customer information platform (“CIP”); (iii) grid improvement projects, consisting of both grid technologies and grid hardening projects; (iv) telecommunications infrastructure; (v) cyber security; and (vi) the Smart Charging Infrastructure Pilot Program. The Company states that it is presenting the results of a cost-benefit analysis conducted by a third-party consultant that show the proposed investments are beneficial to customers.
As part of the GT Plan, Dominion proposes to fully deploy AMI across its service territory over a six-year period beginning in 2019. As part of the deployment of AMI, the Company states it will seek to install a smart meter at each customer’s premises. For individual customers that may prefer not to have smart meter, the Company states that it plans to accommodate those customers where practical. As part of the Petition, the Company proposes a revenue-neutral opt-out policy for residential customers, including a one-time fee of $84.53 and on-going monthly fees of $29.20, intended to recover the costs of a customer opting out of smart meter installation. The Company also seeks approval of an addition to its terms and conditions of electric service to charge the proposed opt-out fees. The Company proposes to deploy a new CIP that includes replacement of the customer information system (“CIS”), which is the primary system supporting processes such as metering, billing, credit, service orders and revenue reporting. The Company states the existing CIS is outdated and, among other things, is unable to effectively and efficiently offer an expanded set of rate structures and customer-centric programs like time-varying rates. The Company states that it anticipates proposing a new experimental, voluntary time-varying rate later this fall upon conclusion of a stakeholder process initiated pursuant to legislation passed by the 2019 General Assembly. The Company states that the proposed grid technologies and grid hardening projects will improve service reliability and support the integration of distributed energy resources. Among other things, the Company asserts these projects will (i) improve situational awareness and automatically restore large segments of customers; (ii) rebuild poorly performing grid segments to stronger standards and upgrade specific components to eliminate outages; and (iii) improve the availability of the grid to accept and transport customer-generated energy.
The Company proposes certain telecommunications-related projects, referred to as the Tier 3 Field Area Network. The Company states that these projects will facilitate connectivity to equipment on the distribution system, including devices outside of the substation fence. According to the Petition, these projects will include investing in field device hardware that connects intelligent grid devices to, among other things, the Company’s communication network. Phase IB also includes additional proposed cyber-security investments that the Company asserts are necessary to protect proposed Phase IB GT Plan projects. According to Dominion, the proposed Smart Charging Infrastructure Pilot Program is aimed at providing the Company with the data and tools necessary to understand and manage electric vehicle (“EV”) charging load in furtherance of additional investments, pilots, programs, or rate designs that will support EV adoption while minimizing the impact of EV charging on the distribution grid. The Pilot Program will consist of (i) rebates for the infrastructure and upgrades, if necessary, at EV charging sites; and (ii) rebates for the smart charging equipment that enables managed charging. The Company also seeks a waiver of the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Promotional Allowances if deemed necessary by the Commission, in order to provide the proposed rebates associated with the Smart Charging Infrastructure Pilot Program.
The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this case that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing at 1 p.m. on January 27, 2020, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony of public witnesses. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness should appear at the hearing location fifteen (15) minutes prior to the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff.

‘Thank you’ isn’t enough The new bench installed in front of the Catlett Volunteer Fire Department lists two names, Jay Mark Miller and Matthew B. Smith. Under their names it reads, “At a railroad crossing just down the road these two men paid the ultimate sacrifice on September 28, 1989. NEVER FORGET.” Catlett VFD held a 30th anniversary memorial dedication for the two firefighters on Saturday, Sept. 28. Fire Chief Kalvyn W. Smith said, “They were responding to a vehicle fire just south of Catlett on Va. 28 when they crossed in the path of an Amtrak train traveling 77 mph with 260 passengers on board ... There never has been a memorial set for this tragedy so we felt it was time to honor their sacrifice.” The memorial reminds us that it is impossible to overstate the debt we owe to our local firefighters.

The time, expertise and energy firefighters and their support teams expend is often taken for granted. It’s not just about the incident calls they make. Training, equipment

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago Oct. 19, 1944 Fauquier County soldiers Lt. Thomas W. Thompson and Pfc. John Kessler were photographed by a Signal Corps photographer when they met by accident during the Battle of Brittany, after their units were thrown together during the action. The Town of Warrenton took in $61,461.21 during the year ending Aug. 31, and spent $63,772.96, of which $25,530 was invested in government bonds, according to Town Treasurer Sidney Shumate. Charles O. Pratt was elected chairman of the management committee of the Warrenton U.S.O. Club at the annual election of officers last Wednesday. Other officers chosen were J. Hunter Bowman, vice-chairman; William T. Baker, secretary; and Edward Risdon, treasurer. Miss Elmire Villere of Warrenton and New Orleans, who is now with the Red Cross in France, is in charge of the Yankee Doodle Canteen a few miles from Paris. Pvt. Mertie Ritenour, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Ritenour of Catlett, is stationed at Norman, Oklahoma, where she is taking a course in Marine aviation. 50 Years Ago October 16, 1969 Fauquier High School backfield coach Benjamin B. Mitchell was named director of transportation for Fauquier schools Tuesday by the School Board. He will replace Richard Glascock, who has resigned the school post effective Nov. 1. Mr.
Glascock hopes to open a service station – Warrenton Amoco– this Friday on Shirley Highway next to the Lampliter Restaurant. Nov.3 has been set as the tentative date for the opening of the new P. B. Smith Elementary School on Route 605 east of Warrenton, according to Superintendent Ryland Dishner. Students assigned to Smith have been temporarily placed in Warrenton Primary School. The delay beyond the Sept. 8 opening date was caused by a shortage of labor on construction jobs. Winners at last week’s Duplicate Bridge Club were Mrs. W. D. Snyder and Mrs. Richard Roberts, first; W. D. Snyder and Lyle Cox, second; and Mrs. J. E. Cox and Fred O’Connell, third. 25 Years Ago October 19, 1994 Dr. Thomas Miller, who has been involved in more than 50 studies on fiscal, economic and land use issues in Loudoun and Fairfax counties, will speak on the effects of WalMart on small towns at a seminar sponsored by the Friends of Warrenton Oct. 26 at the John Barton Payne Building. Scientist William Lishman, known in Toronto as “Father Goose” because of his experiments with the migratory habits of geese, has led a new gaggle to Airlie. Last October, Lishman, who is a pilot, led 18 Canada geese on a 400-mile journey from Toronto to Warrenton. He and his co-pilot, Joseph Duff, traveled in an ultralight aircraft that Lishman designed and adapted to suit the flight patterns of geese. –Compiled by John T. Toler

‘W.C. Taylor High School: A Legacy’ relates a story that needs to be told
Laura Galante does not have necessary experience for house of delegates
The William C. Taylor High School Alumni Committee thanks the Fauquier County communities, Fauquier school board, Taylor Middle School staff and students, and media for your continual support as we recognize William C. Taylor High School. On Saturday, Aug. 31, at 4 p.m., the George Mason University, Mason Film Lab in Fairfax, presented “W.C. Taylor High School: A Legacy” in the Addison E. Lightfoot Auditorium of Fauquier High School. This celebratory evening for the community was hosted by the William C. Taylor High School Alumni Committee and Taylor Middle School. The documentary was viewed by 300-plus persons. This documentary told of the legacy of the innovative William C. Taylor High School. This was the first high school in Fauquier County to serve African-American students from the seventh to the 12th grades. Teachers and administrators employed a progressive model of education built on an environment of mutual respect, collegiality, rigor and community that created a legacy of excellence worldwide. This was also the first documentary produced within the Mason Film Lab. We thank the director, Giovanna Chesler, an associate professor and program director of film and video studies at George Mason University; the future filmmakers; industry professionals, and directors, for the critical engagement, diversity in perspectives and conscious storytelling centered on inclusive film practices. This documentary captured the stories of alumni from their time in school, through segregation and integration, and of their accomplishments. Directors, professors and students, you made William C. Taylor’s legacy a reality. Thank you.
I read the letter from Ina Hall of Marshall regarding the candidates forum on Sept. 25 in Marshall with great interest. I agree with her that Ms. Galante was energetic. I believe that her energy should be put to good use in some capacity at the county level to develop her seasoning as a potential delegate. However, not this time. She has clearly no public sector experience. The idea of going to Richmond to “change things” smacks of the arrogance that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brought to Washington. I am not sure what her cyber security experience has to do with local affairs. She even elevates her 4-H experience to be on a par with actual farming. As a former 4-Her, I agree that having 4-H experience is wholesome and develops an appreciation for many aspects of agriculture and homemaking. Equating it to farming is a real stretch because it simply is not. Del. (Michael) Webert (R-18th) is a genuine farmer with all the issues of dealing with weather, animal husbandry and, of course, profit and loss. Mr. Webert’s responses were seasoned, experienced responses. He did not seem tired. It seems that Ms. Hall and Ms. Galante are not familiar with the sausage-making aspect of making law. The present-
The William C. Taylor High School Classmates and Alumni Committee are so appreciative for this event. It was always our mission to create a documentary about our school. It was not until Taylor Middle School Principal Nicholas Napolitano introduced me to Film at Mason Director Giovanna Chesler that we were able to make the project a reality. Thank you, Principal Nick Napolitano, (Mason Alumni) and the Taylor Middle School staff who also saw the importance to have Taylor’s legacy documented. This celebratory event was followed by a catered (A Party Affair) dinner for 200-plus guests. We were very appreciative to have all of our guests from the communities to be a part of this event. Special kudos to the Taylor Middle School students who served as hosts. The presence was duly noted of Warrenton’s mayor and county elected officials. You can watch a behind the scenes look at the making of the documentary at https://vimeo. com/343508720. The film is available to the public online at https://www.youtube.com/ channel/UCyegtS7LfdAdi3BBBlVX6vw. The interviews and the film will be archived at the Afro-American Historic Association. A DVD can be purchased at cost of $23, also from the AAHA (4283 Loudoun Ave., The Plains; 540-253-7488. For the purchase of a DVD of the Aug. 31 celebratory event, please contact dallas22@verizon.net. The William C. Taylor documentary was a resounding success. We could not have done this without you. We, the former classmates and administrators of Wm. C. Taylor say, “Thank You.”

Forum crowd favored Laura Galante I and some others were puzzled that your coverage of the Sept. 25 debate in Marshall (“Marshall candidates forum focuses on 18th District”) did not fully convey the feeling of the audience – which was more favorable to Ms. (Laura) Galante (D) than to Mr. (Michael) Webert (R-Va. 18th). Ms. Galante’s articulation of the issues was clearly stronger. She brings fresh new approaches to key issues of employment (promoting the trades and expanding technical education), boosting Virginia agriculture and local farming, and expanding our
access to high-speed internet. Plus Ms. Galante is committed to working “across the aisle” to find bipartisan solutions, an ethic our politics needs now more than ever.

This is the abbreviated version. The real version can be found at: https://virginiageneralassembly. gov/virginiaLegislature.php?secid=20&activesec=2#!hb=1&mainContentTabs=4&content=4,includes/contentTemplate. php%3Ftid%3D52%26ctype%3Db%26cid%3D90&in=1. In the case of this summer’s session with gun control legislation under consideration, let us be clear. It was Gov. Ralph Northam who killed the legislative session with no further work on gun control legislation pending the outcome of the Virginia Beach tragedy, for which unfortunately no gun control legislation could have prevented. I support Ms. Galante in an attempt to run for school board or the board of supervisors. I strongly suggest gaining some public sector county level legislative experience before taking on the business of the commonwealth. I hope you will join me in supporting Michael Webert on Nov. 5!

We need candidates Shelly Norden and Rachel Bongiovi on the school board Our children are priceless and it is vital that we provide them with a safe and appropriate education. Shelly Norden and Rachel Bongiovi are the change we need on the Fauquier School Board in order to ensure that our children receive just that. We are fortunate to have two such uniquely qualified citizens willing to dedicate their lives to the young people of Fauquier. Shelly Norden (Scott District) is a graduate of our school system and has been a dedicated and award-winning teacher for over 18 years here in Fauquier County. Her motivation to help our students is evident by all that this former “Teacher of the Year” winner is willing to give up in order to make our county a better place. Shelly is a sterling asset that our children and our community cannot afford to lose. Rachel Bongiovi (Center District) is a lifelong Fauquier resi-
dent and a graduate of our school system. Rachel works with Fauquier’s most at-risk students. Her expertise is invaluable in dealing with the growing culture of bullying. Rachel has been an outspoken advocate for children with disabilities and those with mental health needs. Her expertise is invaluable for dealing with the growing culture of "bullying." My sons who attend our school system, your children, and all of Fauquier's children deserve Shelly Norden and Rachel Bongiovi on our school board. Their educational accomplishments, their passion for children and education and their exceptional qualifications and certifications will be assets to students, teachers, and parents. Help make the change we want to see in our schools by voting for Rachel Bongiovi and Shelly Norden on Nov. 5.

It was party time at Falcon Field last Friday as the Falcons defeated Kettle Run for the first time since 2012. Fauquier has four games left as it tries to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014. Pictured are Nick Shadyac, J.T. Diehl and Cameron Swift.
A GREAT NIGHT TO BE A FALCON
Defense, Diehl help Fauquier cleanse six years of losses to Kettle Run By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Can Fauquier make the playoffs? Who cares right now. They just beat Kettle Run. “We are a great team right now. Everyone should be awake right now. We are coming with firepower,” said Falcon quarterback J.T. Diehl, whose team is 3-3 for the first time since 2016. In Friday’s rousing 21-7 home win over rival Kettle Run, the Falcons looked reborn as they beat Kettle Run for the first time since 2012 and improved to 5-8 in the rivalry. Diehl was essential to the victory. He threw a 27-yard first quarter touchdown pass to Cameron Swift as the Falcons jumped on top 7-0, then added a huge 10-yard third down run to stymie a Kettle Run comeback in the fourth quarter.

Also coming up big were Nick Shadyac, who ran 17 times for 81 yards and had the clinching 8-yard TD run with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter, and Logan Railey, who had 48-yard interception return for a TD. The Falcon defense was also stout. While the Falcons are only 3-3, the mood was sky high Friday. "We’re getting better in all facets. The kids are hungry. It’s starting to sink in and believe. And it’s a fun thing to watch," said coach Karl Buckwalter. Despite battling back and getting the ball with a chance to tie, Kettle Run fell to 0-6.
Cameron Swift went high to catch this first quarter touchdown pass from J.T. Diehl. "I figured it would be close," said Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield, who suffered his first career loss to FHS. "My message to the guys was they're gonna want to get this one. Their guys that are graduating have never beaten us. Kudos to the Fauquier kids." Earlier in the week, Buckwalter motivated his kids by telling them what a win would mean to their school and families. "I told them, 'You can take six years of community frustration away in 48 minutes. It’s all gone. In 48 minutes six years
is wiped away. Think about that. It’s not even an hour,'" Buckwalter said. Sometimes the expectation of a victory puts undeniable pressure on a team. That didn’t seem to bother the Falcons, who roared out of the gate with energy and confidence Friday, well-prepared to grab a lead and seize the day. Kettle Run briefly started very well. With excellent field position at their own 44, Kettle Run ripped into Falcon territory on the first play as Brandon See FALCONS, page 22

DEFENSE KEYS EAGLES’ BIG WIN IN STEPHENS CITY By Josh Dorsey
Class 4 Region B standings
Special to the Times
The Liberty Eagles continued their perfect season with a huge road win at Sherando 20-13 last Friday in Stephens City. With fans ringing the fence line and filling the bleachers for Homecoming, the Eagles (6-0) sent them home empty-handed. Liberty victories are always big news against Sherando and first-year coach Travis Buzzo got one in his first attempt. “There is nothing like playing at Sherando. There aren’t really moments that could mimic it, but we were mentally prepared for this environment,” said Buzzo, whose squad improved to 6-0 and now sits at No. 4 in the Class 4 Region C standings behind No. 1 Broad Run (6-0), No. 2 Handley (6-0) and No. 3 Tuscarora (6-1). Down 13-6 at halftime, Liberty used superior team speed, quarterback Dylan Bailey’s accuracy and timely play calling to score on its first two possessions of the second half. Justin Lawson led the Eagles with 97 yards from scrimmage and was part of a reverse play with Trev’von White that provided the winning points. With Sherando leading 13-12 midway through the third quarter, Lawson flipped the ball to White heading fullin the opposite direction. White picked up a block from Bailey before gliding for an easy 27-

The jumbled Northwestern District race is a dogfight with Liberty (6-0), Handley (6-0), James Wood (5-1) and Millbrook (5-2) duking it out. Liberty coach Travis Buzzo and his guys host rejuvenated James Wood Friday in Bealeton at 7 p.m. yard touchdown to give Liberty its first lead with 6:52 left in the third quarter. Mason Gay’s two-point run made it 20-13. “As soon as I saw their whole defensive line come after me I gave Tre the pitch and I saw it wide open. I knew it was a touchdown,” Lawson said. Helped by strong defense, the Eagles won for the only the fifth time in 15 meetings against Sherando since 2004. But it got dicey. To start the fourth quarter, a Sherando punt pinned Liberty inside its own 2. Soon Sherando’s Jabril Hayes made his second interception and had a convoy into the end

The Eagles also survived a last gasp Sherando drive with some timely blitzing. “We are going to stay aggressive no matter what,” Buzzo said. “Especially against a sophomore quarterback.” “Going back to film, we watched
how their linebackers play, and they stack the box,” Lawson said. “We went over slants and dump routes all week. That is what we had to do to make big plays.” Bailey completed 14-of-29 for 196 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. “We played a good game,” he said, “but that is nowhere near our highest level. We can do so much more.” Senior running back Darius Lane (31 carries, 138 yards) hurt the Eagles with two TDs. He had an 18yard run to make it 6-0. After Liberty tied in on a 4-yard pass from Bailey to Wyatt Hicks on fourth down, Sherando got the lead back at 13-6 on Lane’s 9-yard TD run and Jackson Hendren’s kick shortly before the half.

Red-hot Cougars emerge as district’s third best team
Falcons beat Devils, fall to Millbrook By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The Kettle Run Cougars are entering an intense final four volleyball matches. Winners of five straight recently, the Cougars (116 overall, 7-3 Northwestern District) sit in third place behind James Wood (10-0) and Millbrook (9-1). Coach Mike Howard says third place is a strong spot and he’d like to hold it. Kettle Run faced James Wood Tuesday night, and face No. 4 Sherando (64) and No. 5 Fauquier (4-6) next week. “I think that we have to maintain our current thirdplace position in the conference to order to give us a chance in the playoffs,” coach Mike Howard said. Kettle Run’s recent winning streak was ended by Millbrook, 25-10, 29-27, 25-12 on Oct. 8. “Winning five straight matches has been great for us because the team is starting to see the hard work pay off,” said Howard. “With each win we have become a more confident team…it is a change from the same old, can’t close a match.” Jordan Dixon and Cassidy Perino have become offensive stalwarts in the last six outings and libero Kate Pohlmann’s is back at full strength after an ankle injury. Erin Salzman has been strong as a back row defensive specialist. “Our depth remains the strongest point about our team,” said Howard, who notes the unit won some matches while battling key injuries and is getting healthy at the right time. “With a healthy team we know what we are capable of,” he added. “We are not quite at the Millbrook and James Wood level yet, but we are capable of beating them if we play an error-free match.”

With two weeks left in the regular season, Jordan Dixon and the Cougars have emerged as the county’s best volleyball team. Howard said second place Millbrook’s speed and consistency hurt his squad last week. Kettle Run had unforced hitting errors and were a step slow defensively in the first set, Howard said. There was a call that disappointed him on a potential second set point: “If we could have taken a set from them early, then it changes the complexity of the match. In the third set, I think that it was a little difficult to recover (down 2-0).”
Fauquier volleyball shook off a sluggish start Oct. 9 to sweep Culpeper in a Northwestern District match. The host Falcons (6-12, 4-6) prevailed in three, 25-19, 25-15, 25-18, for their second victory of the fall over the Blue Devils. “We started extremely slow, then stepped up and got a good team win,” said Fauquier coach Diana Story. Down 12-7 in the first set, Fauquier took control on Stephanie Robson’s service, resulting in seven consecutive points and a 17-15 Falcon advantage. Fauquier scored 18 of the final 25 points to pull away. The second set was close as Fauquier led 7-6, then held the next six Culpeper servers scoreless. Fauquier got multi-point service efforts by Emma Carter (four), Robson (three) and Katie Wilbert (two) to build a 23-12 bulge. Carter then served out the set. The third set was tied 10-10 until the Falcons pulled away. Fauquier’s junior varsity also won, 25-13, 25-14. League-leading James Wood posted a 25-22, 25-15, 25-13 decision over the Falcons on Oct. 8. The match was the most recent example of a strong first-set effort against the league’s upper echelon. “In the first set, they play like they don’t have a care in the world,” Story said of her girls. “They play to win and to have fun. They don’t think about who’s on the other side of the court. When they win or are in that first set, they start thinking about it.” All three Fauquier squads will be in action Thursday at Liberty. The freshman contest starts at 5 p.m., followed by the JV at 5:30 and varsity at 7.

On a festive night at Falcon Field, Fauquier principal Kraig Kelican handed Falcon hoops great and professional player Jerrelle Benimon a plaque with Benimon’s old jersey, which is now retired. Coach Wayne Brizzi gave a rousing speech.
It’s party time at Falcon Field See FALCONS, page 22 Strickland ran nine yards and then another five to reach the FHS 41. Freshman quarterback Peyton Mehaffey then hit A.J. Williams on an 8-yard route as the Cougars reached the FHS 33. The Falcons stiffened, tackling Williams for a 4-yard loss on third-and-one. On fourth down, Kettle Run kept Mehaffey on the field in shotgun formation. When Mehaffey tried to punt, Falcon Jack Gilliam was on him quickly to block it. Fauquier took over on the Kettle Run 39 and scored in five plays as Diehl hit Swift on a 27-yard touchdown pass in the end zone. Diehl threw a high lofted ball that gave Swift time to locate and grab it above his head. "It was flag route," said Swift. "I knew it was man coverage. I trusted J.T. to throw the ball up and he threw a beautiful ball and I just went up and got it. Touchdown." On the next series, Kettle Run's Darian Lambert ripped off three strong runs but the drive again went backwards as Gilliam sacked Mehaffey for a 10-yard loss. Two plays later, Mehaffey, under heavy pressure from a blitzing Falcon, threw into the right flat where Railey picked it off and cruised 48 yards for a touchdown. Diehl’s extra point kick made it 14-0 with 1:30 left in the first quarter. “I had the flat area and he just threw it and I had perfect timing and just caught it,” said Railey, who enjoyed a clear majestic trip up the
sideline to paydirt. “It was pretty cool. I’ve never had anything like that before in my life happen.” The Cougars' turnaround was fueled by Cougar linebacker Jacob Osteros, who intercepted a Diehl pass setting Kettle Run up at the FHS 45. After a Mehaffey-to-Jacob Robinson screen pass gained 21 yards, three FHS penalties got Kettle Run to the doorstep of the FHS goal. On first down, Lambert powered in for a 3-yard TD run. Will Landis’ extra point kick made it 14-7 with 2:24 left in the third. Bidding to tie the game, Kettle Run marched from its own 9-yard line to the Fauquier 40, where the Falcons made a huge fourth down stop. Taking over with 5:47 left, Fauquier embarked on a clutch 60-yard TD drive to seal the win. The biggest play of the drive was a 10-yard scamper by Diehl on thirdand-eight. Chased in the backfield, Diehl had to improvise big-time. He even dropped the ball, somehow managed to reach the Kettle Run 37. “I had to act quick. There was pressure coming left and right. Once I fumbled it I was like, ‘Ohh,’ I just hustled and pushed forward through it,” Diehl said. Shadyac took it from there, running five straight times, the last on a 7-yard run for a TD with 2:03 left to make it 21-7 after Diehl’s kick. In Buckwalter's mind, Diehl's amazing run had saved the Falcons. "That’s a gamer," Buckwalter said of his junior field general. "He doesn’t get that who knows what happens? That’s the first down that took us home."
Flowers and goals help FHS roll on Senior Day SENIOR DAY, from page 20 a minute later on the sixth Falcon penalty corner in a 12-minute span. “You could see the flow [and] transition come back when they started working in the midfield line,” Settle said. She pointed to Irvin, McCusker and Keith in particular for not “hanging back. Once they get that confidence and those goals, they get
hungry and the energy level goes up. You can see the change from one dynamic to the next.” Senior goalie Zoe Savage notched the shutout. In the junior varsity fray, Fauquier earned a 1-0 win on Marissa Camarca’s score on an assist by Ella Tedeschi. The Falcons have posted nine wins and a tie in their last 10 games.

Becky Miller said between his commute and her responsibilities showing houses at night, they never saw each other. “I told him, ‘Come work with me,’” Becky Miller said. And he did. They worked for a large real estate company for several years but decided to go out on their own in 2015. “It was always our dream,” Miller said. “We’ve been so blessed.” Miller said their success is largely because of their focus on their clients and being part of the Warrenton community. “We are passionate about what we do,” she said. “We really are customer-service driven. We always put the client in front of what’s best for us.” Miller said she got advice years ago from someone she respected in real estate: if the client gets the feeling you are only thinking about the commission you will earn, it will turn them off. “You need to always care about the outcome that’s best for them,” she said. Miller said their clients know they understand the community. “I’m not coming from Alexandria and wanting to sell you a house in Warrenton. I’m part of this community and I speak from the heart,” she said. “We know the market.” Testimonials from Piedmont Fine Properties’ website bear this out. “You always made us feel like priority clients, and were always more than willing to show us new listings, reshow a listing, or bear with our laundry ‘wish list’ of what we wanted in a home. Your professionalism and enthusiasm shined through each time, which made the entire process fun and easy,” wrote one client. “Both Becky and Chip Miller are a true pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with a large number of real estate professionals over the past 20 years (both commercial and residential) and the Millers are one of the best. They are very intelligent and experienced professionals who will give you straight answers. I was impressed by their negotiating skills as well as their general organization throughout our relationship. I give them my full recommendation,” wrote another. Another aspect of Piedmont Fine Properties is property management. They manage more than 250 properties in the region; it accounts for about half of their business. “We have a great team and would love to grow that, especially here in Warrenton,” Miller said. “We work mostly with the landlords, but our three property managers are always trying to make it a win-win and make it right for both sides.” Piedmont Fine Properties is located at 25 S.

WATTERS DRENCHES THE FIELD Irish native notches ‘best day ever’ at Virginia Fall Races By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Irish-born, Maryland-based Graham Watters had the best day of his steeplechase career at Saturday’s Virginia Fall Races, winning with three of his six mounts, with a second, third and sixth rounding out his day at the 65th annual meet. Watters teamed with Middleburg-based trainer Neil Morris and Kinross Farm for all three wins at the Glenwood Park event. They connected with maiden winners Big Bend and Junovia, and closed the card with a score in the Virginia-bred turf race with Vincent Van Gogo. “I’d had a few doubles before,” Watters said, but that was his first triple. His 10-plus year career has been dotted by “big days,” including his first wins in the U.S. – both at Radnor in 2017, “Middleburg is my favorite track here in the U.S.,” Watters added, saying the gently rolling turf oval north of town was a course where biding your time typically pays off. The homestretch is deceivingly long, he said, and the infamous “elbow bend” into the deep stretch by the stone terrace box seating can make or break a finishing kick. “I like Glenwood. It made for a memorable day for a lot of reasons,” he said. Watters was born in Navan, Ireland, relocating to Scotland when he began race riding as a teen. He moved to England for a few years, then relocated to the U.S. Watters, now 28, is based out of the Monkton, Maryland stable of Cyril Murphy.

Trained by Leslie Young, Ballybristol’s handsome gelding pulled away effortlessly from Irv Naylor’s Super Saturday and Blair Wyatt’s Witor over the final quarter-mile of the 3 ¼-mile National Sporting Library Cup for leading rider Jack Doyle. Andi’amu ran the distance in 6:59 3/5 on firm turf. "Jack (Doyle) gave him a beautiful ride," Young said. "Andi is such an honest horse. He will go on any ground. He won on the firm, and he's won on the soft. Today was a little on the extreme side of firm, but he was great today." The timber stake was Andi’amu’s
fifth straight victory, dating back to a second-place finish in the Noel Laing Handicap at Montpelier nearly two years ago. He raced over mixed obstacles in the steeplethon division last year, winning at Middleburg Spring, at Glenwood, and at Virginia Gold Cup. The French-bred, 9, returned in the open timber division for impressive 5 ¾-length victory in the Middleburg Hunt Cup at Glenwood April 20, and won the Virginia Gold Cup by three lengths May 4. Young said she’s eyeballing the Oct. 26 International Gold Cup stake next for the French-bred. The International is 3 1/2-miles over the same Great Meadow course as the 4-mile Virginia Cup. She said Andi’amu clearly likes both courses. Complete results and more photos are at nationalsteeplechase.com. Racing returns to Virginia in two weeks for the Oct. 26 International
Gold Cup in The Plains.
Hunter championship
The North American Field Hunter Championship finals were held Saturday morning at Glenwood. Judges Joy Crompton, Cameron Sadler, Becky Harris, Jennifer Webster, Kim Zimmerman and Beverly Bosselman judged 70 competitors hunting with Middleburg Hunt, Bull Run, Loudoun Fairfax, Snickersville and Piedmont, whittling the field down to 20 for the finals, then again to the top 10 for a handy hunter test. Champion honors went to Elkridge Harford Hunt rider Kate Gilhool and Skye’s Limit, with reserve to Radnor’s Lance Taylor on Clifden. Taylor won best turned out. Live Oak, Florida hunter Cathy Sweezey and her Miss Molly were voted most suitable pair, with Thornton Hill’s Jennifer Nesbit winning the sportsmanship prize.

Senior, elder, sage–what is in a name? I penned a column recently on the joys of being a grandmother. For me, being called “grandma” is just fine. I toyed briefly with a grandmotherly new title, like Grandma Lola, but it didn’t feel right. What does feel just right is “grandma” and my three grandchildren have embraced the moniker. For those of us who are numerically at a certain age, just what is the term that we are most comfortable with or -- in this divisive climate, politically correct -- to own as ours. What is the difference between elderly and senior? They both refer to folks of a certain age, but the terms denote a different spirit in my mind. “Elderly” definitely feels like a really old person who is in declining health, perhaps in long-term care. A “senior” is someone seen as deserving respect or reverence because of their age. I like that better. Even “vintage” is okay with me because it is commonly associated with a particularly prized wine. I enjoy a good glass of wine, so vintage works well. Then, there’s “senior citizen.” This American phrase was coined in the 1930s as a euphemism for “old person” and has since spread to many other English-speaking countries. At what age are you considered a “senior citizen?” This varies. According to Medicare, a senior is 65 years or older. However, generally speaking, once you hit 55 you start to enter the se-
FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN nior age demographic -- in other words you can get free cups of coffee and discounts at the movie theaters. I’m not a huge fan of “senior citizen” but I’ll take it over elderly for sure. The American Medical Association has moved away from “elderly” and more toward “older person” or “aging adult.” Guess they figure those terms have neither a positive nor negative connotation – going for the gray, neutral descriptor. “Baby boomer” is a generational term referring to folks born between the years 1946 to 1964. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau there are currently 76.4 million baby boomers. I’ve heard about the tsunami of older adults in recent years and all the targeted marketing and places where you can get senior discounts. But millennials, which account for all of my three grown children, those born between 1981 to 1996, account for 83.1 million. We are outnumbered by our children. According to Senior Living, a website that catered to baby boomers, from now until 2030, 10,000 baby boomers each day will hit retirement age. If you are in this generation, you are respon-
sible for more than half of consumer spending and make up 28 percent of the population. Other data indicate that baby boomers want to live at home or in a residential setting and don’t want to live in nursing homes like many of their parents did. According to an AARP survey, 40 percent of boomers plan to “work until I drop,” while others are out there traveling and exploring new careers and relationships and taking advantage of cutting-edge medical technology to help them age healthier. Many are purposely staying employed or seeking employment because they either need the money and/or the mental stimulation. That’s actually another term, the “unretired.” Thing is, while those who are over 60 may be defined as elderly or older, many are very robust and active. I like to think of myself in that category, although admittedly my knees are giving me trouble. And then there’s this euphemism about “aging gracefully.” So, what is that? Is it a compliment if someone says that you are “aging well?” In other words, you may be showing signs of aging, but you are still powering forward with life with a youthful spirit. I guess I would rather be thought of as “aging gracefully” than “aging foolishly,” but let’s be real. There are plenty of older folks who look good, period. We don’t have to be compared to those of other
ages. It’s fine to stand tall on our own. The older I get the more I believe that societal norms have played a number on us. Shouldn’t you be retired? You’re too old to be doing that. Really, at your age? Seems we’ve heard them all. In the meantime, I wake each morning and think little, if at all, at how the world has me systematically categorized and rather how I can lead myself to happiness, settle in a loving place, express gratitude and celebrate life as I age. Wonder if that makes me a party animal? Reach Anita Sherman at asherman@fauquier.com

New views on dealing with dementia Aging Together is helping to spread the word about the Dementia Friends movement in Culpeper and beyond. Dementia Friends USA is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway in the United States. Anyone can be a Dementia Friend – we all have a part to play in creating dementia-friendly communities. According to the movement, a Dementia Friend is someone who, through viewing a series of online videos or attending an in-person session, learns about what it’s like to live with dementia and then turns that understanding into action. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends program to visiting someone who is living with dementia, every action counts. People often confuse the terms “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s disease,” believing they are one and the same. In fact, dementia is caused by a number of diseases that affect the brain. The most common is Alzheimer’s, but diseases also include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and Pick’s disease. Different types of dementia affect the brain at different rates and in different ways, but other things like someone’s personal circumstances,
AGING TOGETHER ELLEN PHIPPS the people around them and the environment in which they live, will affect their experience of dementia. Dementia progresses in a way that is unique to each individual. It is true that more people over 65 have dementia but it is not exclusively an older person’s disease; younger people get dementia too. The Dementia Friends movement focuses on five things you need to know about dementia: • Dementia is not a normal part of aging. Not everyone who grows old will develop dementia. • Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain. The most common is Alzheimer’s. • Dementia is not just about having memory problems. It can affect thinking, communication and doing everyday tasks. • It is possible to have a good quality of life with dementia. • There’s more to the person than the dementia. People with dementia are a valuable part of the community.
Dementia often starts with shortterm memory loss, but it can also affect the way that people think, speak and do things. People with dementia can become confused, find it difficult to communicate, as they can’t remember the words that they want, and can have difficulties planning. Dementia also affects people’s moods and motivations. This can happen if the disease affects that part of the brain that controls emotions, but even if this does not happen, people with dementia can feel sad, frightened, fr ustrated or angry about what is happening to them. H o w ever, with a helping hand, people living with dementia can still enjoy their hobbies, have good relationships with partners and friends and live independently for longer.

Birds of a feather Birdwatching is focused relaxation on the wing
By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
As seniors move into their golden years, advice they’re likely to hear is, “Stay involved.” Good counsel, since movement and social interaction are the twin fountains of youth. But high-energy activities may begin to lose their appeal when the color gray starts to appear. Most of us want to stay active as we age but jogging, weights and Jazzercise may be a bit less enjoyable after passing the half-century mark. What to do? Consider a casual walk through field or forest or even a loop around the backyard dedicated to gazing skyward.
Think birdwatching.
Birdwatching, more commonly referred to as
birding, is one of the fastest-growing hobbies in North America. Some 50 million Americans, young, middle aged and seniors draw joy from observing the sights and sounds of feathered beauties as they dart, swoop and perch on trees and landscaping. It’s an endeavor particularly well suited to sages. It can be a solo activity or enhanced through group bird walks led by knowledgeable birders eager to share their experience with neophytes. Moreover, with window birdfeeders and a comfortable chair or recliner positioned to take advantage of the activity, it can enhance the lives of the homebound. The joys of gazing at fluttering birds are obvious but it also has a calming, almost meditative, effect that can help individuals connect with nature in richer, more meaningful ways. Today, with the advent of smartphones and digital cameras, notepads and pencils have largely been set aside. Field guides are as near as a few good apps; flipping through a hard copy guide has in many cases been replaced with a click and swipe.
But some seniors may not be comfortable with the technology, so tried and true birding guides are still employed. It’s not an either/or proposition. Comfort levels and enjoyment dictate how the activity is embraced.

birds to grow and thrive. In other words, the organization is a birder’s best friend. Daniel Lebbin is vice president of threatened species at ABC and an avid birder. Lebbin, 42, holds a degree in biology and environmental science and policy from Duke University and a doctorate in ecology and evolutionary biology from Cornell University. He has worked for the World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy and the National Zoo, and participated in field research projects in Jamaica, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Venezuela. A lifelong birder, Lebbin enjoys bird illustration and photograp hy. H e
co-authored “The American Bird Conservancy Guide to Bird Conservation.” “Some of my earliest memor ies are watching birds at my grandparents’ feeder. I became interested in birds at the age of 12. At 16 I got my driver’s license and was more independent and things really took off,” said Lebbin. He says, “eBird is the most useful tool for people getting into birdwatching.” The goal of the website is to gather information in the form of checklists of birds, archive it, and freely share it to advance conservation and education. It has numerous tools to make birding more rewarding. From being able to manage lists, photos and audio recordings, to seeing real-time maps of species distribution. eBird is the world’s largest biodiversity-related citizen science project, with more than 100 million bird sightings contributed each year by members around the world.
Getting started
For as richly rewarding a pastime as birdwatching can be, the cost of entry is relatively low. A pair of good binoculars is the first item to consider. Prices can range from $100 to $300. Two popular models are the Nikon Monarch and Leupold Yo-
semite. Its 8-power
recommended m ag n ification be used since it prov ide s a good field of vision without the shaky effect of larger powered glasses. If you are serious about quality, consider a visit to One Good Tern, a birding supply store in Alexandria. “They have some of the best salespeople in the industry. If you want hands-on help, they are very good,” says Lebbin. Next, consider downloading the app eBird or purchasing a field guide. Two solid publications are National Geographic’s “Field Guide to the Birds of North America” and Peterson’s “Birds of Eastern North America”. If you don’t already have one or more already installed, place some birdfeeders on your windowsill or in your backyard. Leaning into the hobby is a lot easier if you can glance out your window and start identifying nearby warblers. Your smartphone will serve as your camera and also permit you to post photos of your “scores” on eBird if you are so inclined. With some 400 different species of birds in the Old Dominion, you’ll have no trouble staying entertained. Finally, the joy of birding is mul-
tiplied by engaging with other birders. There are several organizations to consider joining by searching your keyboard. One particularly useful site is the Northern Virginia Bird Club. It offers field trips, a newsletter and an extensive list of other birding organizations for your enlightenment. Visit nvabc.org. “Birding can be as little or as much as you want it to be. You can make it a second career, or in my case, a first career,” said Lebbin. “The more people who understand and care about nature, the more they help us achieve our goals at American Bird Conservancy.” For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com http://nvabc.org/

An advocate for aging well
Warrenton’s Martial Arts Center focused on fighting for your health By Coy Ferrell
Contributing Writer
Grandmaster Kun Hwa Lee is a ninth-degree blackbelt, the highest-possible rank in taekwondo. He’s trained everyone from kids in Fauquier County to military forces around the world in martial arts and self-defense. These days, he’s just as focused on fighting what he sees as the greatest enemy: deteriorating health that can come with age. “People think about martial arts and they think about punch and kick, right? The real enemy is our aging and sickness,” said Lee. In short, he believes the focused, deliberate movements of martial arts can be an effective tool to prolong health and wellness for older people. “Our Eastern philosophy is that all living things must be moving,” said Lee, who founded Warrenton’s World Martial Arts Center in 2001. He himself is a “70-plus”-year-old, as he puts it, and he’s determined that he and his clients keep moving as much as possible. He reflects on the injuries he sustained over his years of training, and wonders what would happen if he
stopped his vigorous routine. “If I stop, maybe -- number one is what, arthritis? [High] cholesterol? Pow, done!” He punches the air for emphasis, as if his mortality was an assailant who had bettered him on the mat. “So [I have] no choice. I have to keep going.”
Strong seniors
A group of three to five seniors meets regularly at the center to practice taekwondo under Lee’s watchful eye. He takes meticulous notes on each of his older clients, complete with outlines of family medical history and charts of listing the number of repetitions performed of each exercise. The emphasis for the senior class is conditioning and building confidence, not competition. Benjamin Cooper, 78, of Orlean, began coming to the center two years ago. He appreciates the low-pressure environment and looks forward to each session. Specifically, he is here because his doctor diagnosed him with the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder of the nervous system. When he first started training, he walked stiffly and bent over. Now he can demonstrate an entire sequence of perhaps 20 movements. “The important thing I think is that I can remember

Your body gets used to it.” He is still cautious and deliberate with his movements, but ultimately, “I feel a lot better,” he says. “It’s a very worthwhile thing.” Each martial-arts discipline has its own emphasis, but all to focus both mind and body, promote control over even the smallest motions and refine
balance. With the right instruction, circumstances and work ethic, concentrated exercise can greatly improve quality of life for older adults. Sometimes, the benefits can be dramatic.

his adult life, but it took on a new urgency several years ago. First, he contracted lung cancer, which then spread to his spine, necessitating intense radiation and chemotherapy. Shortly after, he contracted brain cancer, requiring even more radiation and ending with the surgical removal of part of his cerebellum, the area of the brain that controls balance and motor control. “They had to take a whole lobe out of my brain and after that they told me, “You need to get your affairs in order; you’ll be dead in six months,” and I didn’t want to die. So, I came back to Master Lee because no one else could help me.” He began training again with Grandmaster Lee about four years ago. “When I came in my wife had to hold my hand. I was down here like this.” He bends over and stiffens his arms. “I had no strength; I really couldn’t move very well. Master Lee got me to walking OK, after a while, I could drive

myself, and I’ve been here ever since, and I come here every day.” His improvement is the result of careful instruction and an incredible amount of hard work and tenacity. He still has problems with coordination and balance, but he pushes through. “It’s my lifestyle. I practice it at home, I exercise at home. What choice do I have, if I don’t?” Grandmaster Lee chimes in with a grin. “Proudness. This is my wish for him. Saying, ‘I can do it!’ He fought for his life. We need someone to talk about [people like him], to celebrate them, motivate them. There might be similar people out there saying ‘I don’t know what to do.’ [We want them to say] ‘oh, I can do it, I can go to any place and practice.’ This is the idea.”
Conditioning mind and body
Healthy people should also continually condition the body during the latter stages of life. It is especially important, says Grandmaster Lee, for people who have recently retired. He observes that most people cease almost all physical activity in this stage in life, and laments the fact that people usually wait until they develop a major health problem before they make an intentional decision to start a concentrated physical routine like martial arts. Another student at the Center, Andralyn Allen, of Warrenton, is an exception. She’s been practicing taekwondo for about three years. She simply wanted to be in better physical shape and have a better quality of life in her retirement. After her grandson started attending taekwondo class, she

It’s not important what discipline you choose or where you attend a class, so long as you are keeping yourself in motion. “Any place - not [just] here, but any place. We have to move.” To learn more about the World Martial Arts Center, visit www.warrentontkd.com or phone 540-347-7266. Located in the Oak Springs Plaza at 612-616 Blackwell Road in Warrenton.

Alex Kelly-Maartens teaches Pitaiyo, a fusion she created of tai chi, yoga and pilates, at a weekly class at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility. Her routine emphasizes a style that is slow, deliberative and meditative. She describes tai chi as “a long dance chain, choreographed and memorized.” Like taekwondo, practicing it can help with balance and muscle memory, which are especially important for older adults. “I do stand-up [paddle-boarding] so I wanted to still have balance so that’s why I started doing this,” says Annabelle Cambier, 70, who attends Kelly-Maartens’ class. She attends kickboxing classes in addition to practicing tai chi and has participated in other martial arts. When she was 50, she “started doing aikido because I thought ‘I’m going to fall because I’m a senior now,’ but,” she laughs, “I’m going to fall right.” Slowing down and making small, intentional movements has greatly increased her ability to control her balance, she says. Kelly-Maartens makes sure there are a limited number of movements her students must learn and remember. She prefers her students to be able to master what they already know. “I don’t want anyone to feel overwhelmed by constantly learning new movements.” Rather, her philosophy is that by creating a basic framework, each student will be better able to achieve a state of balanced body and mind within that structure.

Fauquier High School’s class of ’69 got together Former classmates celebrated their 50-year reunion in September. By Dink Godfrey
Special to the Fauquier Times
On Saturday, Sept. 28, members of the Fauquier High School Class of 1969 came together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation. The day began with a tour of the renovated Fauquier High School campus. The tour, led by FHS Principal Kraig Kelican, assisted by current students, was greatly appreciated by the 27 classmates who attended the 11 a.m. event. The FHS cheerleading squad gave the Class of ’69 a special welcome cheer in the school gym. At 5 p.m. 89 classmates out of a class of 247, one former teacher and 58 guests gathered at the Black Horse Inn for a buffet dinner that included shrimp, crab and oysters. Dinner
was followed by a “to die for” dessert selection which included large chocolate-covered strawberries and several types of delicious cake. Music was provided by SoundNation, a nine-piece band. Everyone entered the venue through a portal of red, white and gray balloons, representing FHS colors. Each table, covered with a gray linen tablecloth, was accentuated with a red rose, red carnation and assorted real flower table arrangement which itself was set aglow with individual direct lighting. Soft lighting set the subtle tone for the dance floor. Every place setting included an engraved Fauquier High School, Class of 1969, 50th Reunion glass filled with red and gray foiled Hershey’s Kisses.
The evening began with the playing of the school fight song, “Across the Field,” in order to get everyone’s attention. Attendees were asked to take a seat at one of the 17 tables set for the evening’s festivities. Next, the class’s own the Rev. Mike Robinson led the gathering in prayer. Classmates were then welcomed to the reunion and thanks given to all who worked to make the evening a success. Very special thanks were given to an anonymous benefactor whose generous contribution to the event made this memorable 50th reunion possible. The names of 43 classmates who have passed away were read aloud to those in attendance. Two large video screens, one located at each end of the room, pro-
jected scrolling images of all the members of the FHS Class of ’69 along with various images from Fauquier High School yearbooks, including one of the favorite teen hangouts of the 1960s, the “Kwik Shake” which was located on Broadview Avenue in Warrenton. After the fine dinner and dessert, classmates were ushered outside to get a group class reunion photograph. Members of the class then reconnected with old friends and swapped stories about their lives during these last 50 years. Many classmates danced until the music ended at 11 p.m. As classmates filed from the reunion that evening, a reoccurring sentiment emanated from those leaving: “awesome.”

with a station tour and display of various equipment. It is also a time to remember that October is Fire Prevention Month. As it becomes the season to think about the cold months ahead, there are several safety tips to consider. Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that may burn and unplug the heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep. Have stationary heating equipment installed by qualified professionals and inspected annually. Remind children to be careful around woodstoves, fireplaces, and even candles. Test smoke alarms each month and change the batteries each year. Warrenton Paws to Read is a fun event for children ages 5 to 10 at the Warrenton central library (11 Winchester St.).

Enjoy Halloween with the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department It seems that fall is finally here. We need rain and soon. Our friends in South Dakota are preparing for a snowstorm, with schools planning to be closed until next week. What is your prediction for an early frost in Fauquier? The Leeds Episcopal Church annual Blessing of the Animals was held on Oct. 5 at the Leeds Ruritan Park. Attendees included little dogs, big dogs, smooth coats, rough coats and their favorite humans. Twelve dogs received a special blessing from the Rev. Kate Bryant during a brief service honoring St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. The pups and their humans enjoyed refreshments. There was no snarling nor growling; everyone behaved nicely. Our kitties declined the invitation to attend. It was reported that they did not need to be blessed! Come to the Orlean Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department on Thursday, Oct. 31, for the annual Halloween celebration starting at 6 p.m. with a trunk-or-treat in the back parking lot. Adults are invited to decorate their vehicles, get into their own costumes and hand out treats to the youngsters. At 6:30

Remington Fall Festival attracts a crowd The weather was cool for this year’s Remington Fall Festival on Saturday. People strolled Main Street and stopped at tents where vendors and nonprofits set out goods for sale. Singers and dancers performed onstage and food trucks had a variety of foods and drinks for sale. Candidates for political office made the rounds, with the Nov. 5 general election just a few weeks away.
Tyler Sheets, a senior at Liberty High School, pummels a Nissan Sentra that’s seen better days. For $1 a whack or $5 for 10 whacks, you could take out your frustrations at the Remington Festival. Proceeds went to the C.L. Payne chapter of the Future Farmers of America.
Patty Embrey was selling her customized ornamental woodwork in a parking lot at the Remington fall festival. Embrey is the owner of Patty Mae’s Treasures.

OBITUARIES Tracy Clinton Sharp
Jane H Wild
Tracy Clinton Sharp, 62, of Warrenton, VA passed peacefully on Monday, October 7, 2019 surrounded by family at Fauquier Hospital. He was born December 4, 1956 in Warrenton, VA. Son of the late Winston and Dorothy Sharp. Tracy was a great man with a truly unique soul. He is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, M. Sharyn Sharp; three sons, Edmond Sharp (Daphnie Sharp) of Culpeper, VA, Trae Sharp of Warrenton, VA, and Malcolm Sharp of Manassas, VA; two grandchildren, Michael Sharp (8) and Brynn Sharp (3); and brother, Winston Sharp of Warrenton, VA. In addition to his parents, Tracy was preceded in death by his oldest brother Bruce Sharp. A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church, 39 Alexandria Pike, Warrenton, VA on Friday, October 18, 2019 at 11 A.M. Repass will be held in the Family Life Center immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Lung Cancer Research Foundation on behalf of the family. Online condolences may be made at moserfuneralhome.com.
Jane H Wild was born in St. Paul, Minnesota October 31, 1926. She died September 13, 2019. Jane lived a rich, full life. She married Robert Wild October 12, 1947. Together they traveled the world while raising three children; or more aptly Jane managed to take three children to many remote parts of the earth by herself to meet Bob at his latest Naval assignment. Jane and Bob were good parents who lovingly and successfully raised a daughter Jeanne Ravich, Minneapolis, a son Tim Wild, Seattle, and youngest daughter Beth McDonald, Stuarts Draft. Bob died November 5, 2010. Losing her husband of 63 years left a huge hole in her life. Though she was lonely after Bob’s death, Jane still loved social occasions - especially a glass of wine in the evening with friends. In addition to her three children Jane is survived by her brother Tom Hall, Indianapolis, six grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. Jane loved her house and friends in Warrenton. With the support and help of her youngest daughter Beth, Jane managed to live on her own terms right up to weeks before her death. Thank you Beth. All Jane’s children and grandchildren were lucky enough to say goodby to her, thank her and let her know they loved her. A funeral mass will be held at 2 p.m. November 2, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic church. Following the mass Jane’s daughter Jeanne is hosting a celebration of Jane’s life - an event Jane would not want to miss. Jane will be interred with her husband Bob in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.
CARROLL BRENT GOOKIN WILLIAMS Carroll Brent Gookin Williams, a long-time resident of Middleburg, Virginia, died on October 3, 2019, just two weeks before her 90th birthday. Carroll, the matriarch of a large family, was a person of kindness and caring. She made a world of friends and was much admired for her beauty and elegant style. A native of old Washington, Carroll was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Richard Gookin; her father, Dr. Gookin, was a prominent eye surgeon in Washington. She was the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lowndes Jackson. A forbear, Robert Brent, was first Mayor of the City of Washington; another was Col. Charles Simms, patriot, friend of George Washington, and executor of Washington’s estate. As a youngster growing up in downtown Washington, Carroll was a Girl Scout, rode ponies, and also learned to ski. She took ballet lessons and was a wonderful dancer. She modeled, and played in choral parts in local Washington theater productions. As a young woman, Carroll loved to travel; in 1956 she went to the Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, northern Italy, and although intending to stay for 2 weeks, made life-long Italian friends and stayed 6 months. Later she toured the Continent, England and Ireland. She was a wonderful traveling companion. After graduating Western High School in 1948, Carroll was on the staff of the Remington Rand Corporation and the American Chemical Society. On her marriage to John Chauncy Williams, Jr. in 1958, she left Washington to reside with her husband at “Rockhill,” his family property in Casanova, Virginia, where they had a family of three children. She became a member of the Warrenton Antiquarian Society. In 1966, Carroll moved to Middleburg, Virginia, where she was active in the Middleburg Garden Club, the Pink Box, and Emmanuel Episcopal Church. She took a great interest in Middleburg’s new Sporting Library and Museum. Carroll grew beautiful hydrangeas and clematis and received blue ribbons over the years. She loved life in Middleburg and continued raising her family there. Vacations were enjoyed at Rehoboth Beach in summer and Palm Beach in winter. Carroll chronicled all this in scrapbooks and photo albums that she kept for over 50 years. She enjoyed sharing stories of travel adventures and the accomplishments of her loved ones. Carroll is survived by her children, John Chauncy Williams III (Julie), Richard Thurston Williams (Letitia), and Elizabeth Spilman Williams. Also surviving are her brother, Richard James Gookin of Warrenton (Betty), and sister, Eleanor Gookin Gregory, of Severna Park, Maryland, as well as numerous other close relatives, including her devoted grandchildren, George, Virginia, and Ord. A private graveside service and interment was held at Emmanuel Episcopal Church Cemetery, Middleburg. The Reverend Eugene LeCouteur officiated. A family celebration of Carroll’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rector’s Discretionary Fund at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, PO Box 306, 105 East Washington Street, Middleburg. Virginia 20118, or Middleburg Humane Foundation, 5000 Cunningham Farm Drive, Marshall, VA 20115.
Nathaniel Holmes Morison, III Nathaniel Holmes Morison, III, 83, of Welbourne, Middleburg, Virginia, died peacefully at home October 10th surrounded by his family and his beloved dogs. The son of Holmes and Sally Morison, Nat was born in Winchester, Virginia, and spent his childhood years in New York (his father was a broker on the Cotton Exchange) and summers in Virginia. He attended Trinity School in New York City (and was a member of the Knickerbocker Greys), Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, and the University of Virginia. He was a life-long devotee of the University where he lettered in soccer and boxed, and was honored for his leadership with membership in the TILKA society and the IMP society. He also was devoted to his fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon, where he received its top honor, the Saer Award. In 1959 he returned to Welbourne to run the family farm and continued in that role for the next 60 years, creating a sanctuary for retired horses. He was a former vestryman of Upperville’s Trinity Episcopal Church, a former board member of the Piedmont Fox Hounds (which was founded by his great-great grandfather in 1840, and is the oldest hunt in the United States), and the founder of the Goose Creek Jass and Ragtime Society whose annual Stomp and Cakewalk celebrations are now in their 46th year. The promotion of traditional jass of the 1920’s and earlier remained a passion throughout his life and he had musician friends across the country. He was an ardent advocate of conservation and preservation, and treasured history and tradition. He loved the cities of New York, where he was a member of the National Arts Club, and New Orleans. He made his mark in both places and established timeless relationships with a circle of friends from all walks of life. Known for his hospitality, he held court every evening at Welbourne with walking stick and pipe, welcoming all to join him on the front porch or by the parlour fire for a drink (preferably bourbon). He was the consummate Virginia gentleman and he took pride in upholding the values of the past. He is survived by his wife, Sherry Weymouth Morison; daughter Rebecca Dulany Morison Schaefer, sons Nathaniel Ames Morison, Joshua Weymouth Morison and wife Amanda; brother George Harris Morison and wife Hope; grandsons Max and Luc Schaefer, Uly Morison; nephews Beal Jacobs, Holmes Jacobs and wife Megan, South Morison and wife Maggie, Dulany Morison and wife Eleanor, niece Hatley Morison and husband Edwin. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Eleanor (Nellie) Morison. A celebration of his life will be held at Welbourne at 3 o’clock, Friday October 25th. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Land Trust of Virginia, P.O. Box 14, Middleburg, VA 20118 (http://www. landtrustva.org).

Simple and Complex Estates IMMEDIATE CONCERNS In the immediate aftermath of a death, the event must be reported to the proper authorities in order that the death certification process can begin. This procedure is completed by a physician or coroner and funeral director. Several copies of the death certificate will be needed in order to dispose of the body, settle the estate, and satisfy the requirements of bank accounts, insurance policies, etc. The death certification process can be expedited if the deceased is in a hospital, nursing home, or hospice due to the fact that trained people can help cover all the necessary steps. If the police are called, as a last resort, it should be noted that a funeral director will be needed to claim the body for burial or cremation. Death certificates are issued by medical practitioners such as coroners, morticians, or doctors, certifying that the person is deceased and listing the date, location, and cause of death. In most states, the death certificate will list the time of death, cause of death, and place of death. To learn more about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton. “If you don’t know how to die, don’t worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately.”
