Democrats look for gains in deep-red Fauquier, in 2020 and beyond

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County voter turnout exceeds 35%

Fauquier County has been a Republican stronghold for over a decade, but some Democratic campaigners and Virginia political commentators say shifting political dynamics could benefit Democratic candidates in Fauquier in 2020 and beyond.

The county hasn’t picked a Democratic presidential candidate since

Of the 54,382 registered voters in Fauquier County, 19,164 – 35% -- had already cast an absentee ballot for the 2020 general election as of the morning of Oct. 26, including 12,388 in person and 6,776 by mail.

New OB/GYN physician joins Fauquier Health

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Obstetrics and gynecology specialist Elise Diamond, M.D., MPH, left a young career in public health to go to medical school. Public health provided the 10,000-foot view, she said. “But I found that I wanted to work one-on-one with patients.”

She must have had an inkling early on though; her master’s thesis for her public health degree was on maternal health.

As a junior fellow chair of the D.C. section of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Diamond said that she has been an advocate for women’s health issues. “As a society, we don’t value women’s health as See OB/GYN, page 9

The Fauquier Education Farms holds a safe, socially distanced fundraising event

By Aimée O’Grady

Special to the Fauquier Times

In past years, the Fauquier Education Farm held an annual fundraising event at Moriah Farms, across Meetze Road from the farm; the event featured a menu with ingredients harvested from the farm.

Faced with a pandemic, the farm’s board members were determined to rethink their event. They created a Fall Festival for 2020 that appealed to farm supporters of all ages.

“Without question, 2020 has been a ‘pivot and regroup’ year. When it became clear that our traditional dinner and auction fundraiser that so many enjoy was not going to be possible this year, the FEF board was quick to look outside the box to create a fun, safe event that the community could enjoy,” said FEF board chair Rebecca Webert.

“I am extremely proud of all the work our fundraising committee and entire board put in and am incredibly grateful for the support that our community and sponsors showed. All of this will allow the farm to continue to provide educational opportunities and food to our local community in the coming year,” she added.

“The farm believes in supporting the local community, that in turn supports them,” said Natalie Ortiz, FEF fundraising committee chair. To this end, the event featured a number of local agriculture businesses including: Poultry Project;

All the food and beverage ingredients were procured from local farms and food makers including apples and cider from Williams Orchard; Mad Magic Kombucha on tap; Happy Family Ranch sausage; Freed’s Biscuit Company mini biscuits; Bad Ass Pickles dill pickle chips, and

Blue Ridge Baking Company cookies. “Even pumpkins at the pumpkin decorating station were purchased from a local vendor, Seventh Heaven Farms,” said Ortiz.

School Board representative Stephanie Litter-Reber was invited to take photos at the event. “This is truly a Fauquier County hidden gem. The FEF Fall Festival had a little bit of everything. While I enjoyed walking around and looking at the impressive crops in the field and sampling the foods and beverages (and hot sauce!) of Fauquier County - my kids were huge fans of the live animal displays, the drone display

and the bovine IVF demonstration,” she said.

“Any reason to put on gloves and get hands-on with science is always a hit -- and the bovine booth did not disappoint,” Litter-Reber added.

Warrenton locals Dustin and Brittany White have been leasing land at the Fauquier Education Farm as part of the incubator program since spring. They were introduced to the program when they took the Beginning Farmer Course, offered by the farm each winter.

The couple represented the incubator program during the festival.

“Most of the questions guests asked centered around our new added-value products, hot sauces and jellies.

We had a couple questions about the incubator area when customers asked where we farmed,” said Dustin White.

The incubator program offers real-world experience with smallscale farming to individuals who are ready to start commercial vegetable or cut flower production but do not own land and equipment. The program’s goal is to enable new farmers to establish experience and credibility that they can use in seeking other land leasing or purchase options. A further goal is to help these individuals make more fully informed decisions about their commercial farming plans.

Schools prepare to welcome students in hybrid model on Nov. 9

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County schools will be opening to most students Nov. 9 on an AA/BB hybrid schedule for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic closed schools in March. Half of students who have chosen in-person learning will attend classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, half will attend Thursdays and Fridays, with Wednesday reserved for cleaning and planning.

On the days they are not in school, students will complete independent learning assignments.

Students whose parents have chosen virtual learning will watch their classes online via a livestream.

Reopening preparations

The desktop cameras that will allow students to watch their teachers from home have arrived in the schools; training on the cameras became available Oct. 23. Parents and students who would like to understand how teachers will be handling hybrid learning can watch videos at: https://youtu. be/GbfqCzaeb6c for an explanation of elementary school classes and https://youtu.be/HB-ijUVnVHg for secondary school classes.

Louis McDonald, director of technology for the school division, said that he is still waiting for 7,400 Chromebooks that were ordered in June to arrive. The school division’s goal has been to provide every student in the county with a Chromebook, “but there is a supply chain issue. We are waiting for 7,400 Chromebooks; Fairfax might be waiting for 80,000,” said McDonald.

David Jeck, superintendent of schools said that there have been shortages of personal protective equipment, but “but we are confident we’ll be stocked appropriately by Nov. 9. Supplies continue to arrive.”

He said that details about who will be responsible for extra cleaning of high-traffic areas throughout the school day are still being worked out in each school.

Jeck said he is comfortable with the number of substitute teachers on hand -- 200 as of Oct. 25 -to handle any potential teacher absences. He added that he doesn’t know yet about bus drivers. He said, “Our transportation department is still working on routing. Once that is completed, we’ll know more.”

Because buses will hold only half as many children

at a time, some bus drivers may have to make double runs – pick up children, drop them at school then go back out to pick up a second group of children. Jeck said he didn’t think that would necessitate teachers remaining in buildings longer for children arriving earlier and leaving later. “I don’t think so, but under the current circumstances, anything is possible,” he said.

Because more parents than usual will be dropping off their children at school, the student dropoff area at each school could get crowded. In anticipation of the problem, Jeck said, “We may have to stagger opening bell times to accommodate for an increase in parent drop-offs.”

Another question that was left open until recently was about child care for teachers. Jeck said, “We will be providing child care. We are working with Fauquier Community Child Care re: locations and staffing.”

Hybrid model opponents

Since well before the decision was made to reopen schools with a hybrid model, two factions of community activists have been lobbying the school board and administration on one side or the other – resume in-person learning or keep the doors closed to most students.

Both sides have organized their constituencies and both have shown up in force at school board meetings to use their three minutes apiece to argue passionately for their preference. School board members have said they have received numerous emails from parents expressing their views. School board member Susan Pauling (Center District), for instance, said, “I have received a tremendous amount of emails and phone calls regarding our hybrid plan.

For every email or call I receive advocating for a continued full virtual model, there is another email or call advocating for us to reopen on Nov. 9.”

The group pushing for resuming widespread in-person instruction celebrated the school board’s Oct. 12 decision to adopt the hybrid model, although many would have liked a five-day-a week option. The group advocating against widespread in-person instruction, however, is still asking that the schools remain closed to students until the beginning of the second semester in January.

FCPS1Equity, a group of parents, students and teachers opposed to reopening schools on Nov. 9, cir-

culated a press release on Oct. 26. The press release calls on the Fauquier County School Board “to schedule a special session before Nov. 9 with the necessary public notice and formal agenda in order to take a vote to delay in-person instruction until at least the beginning of the second semester on Jan. 5, 2021.”

The group lists “insurmountable logistical challenges facing the fast-approaching Nov. 9 planned return to in-person instruction, including: staffing issues for teachers, substitutes and bus drivers; the loss of instructional time and impact of mid-quarter schedule upheaval on students, particularly high schoolers and those with IEPs/504 plans; significant additional burdens being placed on teachers, including expecting them to be in multiple places at once during the school day, and the lack of appropriate cleaning and mitigation supplies.”

Mike Hammond, one of the leaders of the group, said in the release, “We urge the school board in the strongest possible terms to provide a public update about all of these challenges, including staffing, transportation, technology, and the implementation of mitigation measures during the day, and then schedule a special session before Nov. 9 in order to take the only appropriate action: vote to delay until Jan. 5 to give the division more time to attempt to develop a workable plan and marshal the needed resources. We are working with stakeholders in the community and the education system to develop a proposed ‘Rational Return’ plan and would be delighted to take part in this work once the artificial urgency of the self-imposed Nov. 9 deadline is removed.”

Hammond said he has met with school board members Pauling and Suzanne Sloane (Scott District). He said, “I do not get the impression from that conversation or from the lack of any communication from them or any other board members, that there will be any change to the opening date. I believe that the only things that will alter the opening date at this time is if the health region continues to have a steady increase in COVID cases and hospitalizations, or if the governor declares that schools have to close again.”

Pauling said, “We are still firm in our plan to reopen schools on Nov. 9. I met with Mike Hammond last week to discuss his petition and told him I would not be changing my vote.”

The Fauquier Education Farms holds a safe, socially distanced fundraising event FARM, from page 2 an extremely valuable asset to this community, contributing tons of food to local food banks and educating many beginning farmers like us on the best practices in farming.”

Dustin White added, “Jim [Hankins, the farm’s executive director] is a walking encyclopedia of farming knowledge and has been a tremendous help to us; we had no idea where to get started in commercial farming at the beginning of the year.”

Allegro Community School of the Arts punctuated the day with music.

Allegro board member and musician Scott Gookin was invited by Natalie Ortiz to play country and rock music at the event. The event also featured Uncle Drew and the Scoundrels playing classic rock.

“Music always brings the community together. We enjoy working with other organizations that work so hard for our community,” said Allegro co-founder Lachelle Yoder.

According to Litter-Reber, “The best part was [that] the proceeds all go back to the farm so that they can con-

tinue to teach others the rewards and benefits of farming and keep our community fresh and healthy produce!”

For the farm’s director, the festival was a huge success. “One of the best things about the festival was that it reached a good number of families that were new to the Education Farm and were not familiar with our programs. I fully expect to see many of them again,” said Hankins.

“It was a financial success due to the outpouring of support from sponsors – the event raised $26,000 -- but it was also an outreach success in a very meaningful way,” he added.

The funds will go into the farm's general operations budget, which is used to fulfill the mission of education that results in the donation of produce to our area's food banks.

“The farm has donated about 30 tons of food year to date,” said Ortiz.

“We would like to thank the local businesses that sponsored this event: Country Chevrolet, Warrenton; The Robert Duvall Children's Fund; Orange County Hound Foundation; Piedmont Environmental Council; Citizens for Fauquier; Tri-County

Feeds, Fashion, & Finds; DCMI; and Updegrove, McDaniel, McMullen & Chicchitto. Our in-kind sponsors included Red Truck Bakery and Blue Ridge Baking Company,” said Ortiz.

Voter turnout in Fauquier exceeds 35% TURNOUT, from page 1 As of Oct. 26, there were 2,907 outstanding absentee ballots – ballots that registered voters in the county requested be sent to them by mail but have not been completed and returned to the registrar’s office.

In 2016, 38,118 Fauquier County voters cast a ballot in the general election, including 5,169 who voted absentee. Turnout for the 2016 election was 77.4%, up from 75.5% in 2012.

This year, Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. All registered voters have the option of voting at their precinct polling place on Election Day or casting an absentee ballot in person by Oct. 31.

Most registered voters also have the option of casting an absentee ballot by mail; those ballots must have been requested by Oct. 23 and must be received by the registrar’s office – or clearly postmarked – by 7 p.m. on Nov. 3.

"Election night will go off as normal,” Fauquier County Registrar Alex Ables said Monday. Despite the high volume of absentee ballots, Ables said he expects all Fauquier County precincts – including the central absentee precinct – to report unofficial results on election night in the same manner as in previous elections.

Because ballots “clearly postmarked” by Nov. 3 and received by the registrar’s office by noon Friday will be counted, those ballots will be added to the official tally. However, Ables said, “We’re not expecting an avalanche of ballots coming in [after Election Day].”

Official election results must be certified by the state board of elections by Nov. 10. Casting more than one ballot during any election is both a state and federal felony.

Voting on Election Day

The overall process for casting a ballot on Election Day is unchanged from previous years. The county’s 20 polling places will be open Nov. 3 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters may cast a ballot only in the

Referendums

Two referendums on proposed amendments to the Constitution of Virginia will be on the ballot. Proposed amendments to the state constitution must gain a majority of votes in order to become law.

“Don’t forget to flip the ballot over,” advised Ables. The general election ballot is two-sided, with the referendums listed on the back.

Additionally, Ables said, “Officers of elections are not legally allowed to interpret [the text of a referendum] for a voter.”

Question 1: The Virginia Redistricting Commission Amendment would, if approved, transfer the authority to draw the state’s congressional and legislative districts – which is required every decade after the national census -- from the General Assembly to a redistricting commission composed of eight state legislators and eight citizens. Under the proposed amendment, districts then would need approval from the General Assembly – but not the governor – in order to be enacted.

If “certain deadlines” for drawing new districts are not met, authority to draw districts would be passed to the Supreme Court of Virginia.

Question 2: The Virginia Motor Vehicle Property Tax Exemption for Disabled Veterans Amendment would, if approved, exempt one motor vehicle from state and local property taxes for military veterans who have a “100% service-connected, permanent and total disability.”

Voters must have been registered by Oct. 13 to vote in the 2020 general election and must present an acceptable form of identification before casting a ballot.

Acceptable forms of identification include: a Virginia driver’s license or other DMV-issued photo identification; a Virginia voter photo-identification card; a U.S. passport; other photo-identification See TURNOUT, page 7

Proposal to build rent-controlled apartments in Bealeton stalls -- for now

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

The proposal to add 48 rent-controlled apartments to the existing Aspen Village complex in Bealeton faces a roadblock after members of the Fauquier County Planning Commission voted three to one Oct. 15 to recommend denying the application to rezone the property. The apartments would have been subsidized by a state program and rented to individuals and families whose incomes are 60% or less of the area’s median income.

A revised version of the application will likely go before the commission in the future, however, after planning commissioners expressed at the Oct. 15 meeting a willingness to consider a reworked application. Before the Oct. 15 vote, Board Chair John Meadows (Lee District) asked the applicant to rework the application to “make it a better product.”

Lee District Supervisor Chris Butler, whose district includes Bealeton, said Oct. 22 he is also open to the proposal in a revised form. “I want affordable homes badly, but $103,000 [in proffers] doesn’t help me at all. Open space in a pond doesn’t work for me,” Butler said. “I’m interested to see what the applicant comes back with.”

(The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors has the final say in whether the rezoning request is ultimately approved.)

The applicant, represented by Chuck Floyd of Piedmont Land Consulting, did not return a request for comment by press time.

Although the subject property is surrounded by residential neighborhoods and commercial properties, the planning commissioners’ discussions centered around preserving “open space” on the property; the amount of “open space” technically exceeds the minimum required for the requested

zoning category, but most of that space designated in the application would be used for stormwater management.

Commissioners also expressed concern about the density of the proposed housing units and what commissioners viewed as insufficient cash proffers to offset costs to local public schools and other county services. (The applicant offered a total of $103,200, in proffers.)

The 10-acre property between Station Drive and Willow Drive North already contains 30 duplex residences, leaving about two-thirds of the property (on the Station Drive side) undeveloped.

Without rezoning, no additional residences can be built on the land; a zoning agreement reached with the county in 1999 as part of the Reynold’s Crossing application still applies to the Aspen property, along with surrounding parcels.

The rent-controlled Aspen Club apartment complex is on an adjacent parcel, containing 108 units with an additional 24 units planned; county supervisors approved the rezoning request for this parcel in 2018. The residents of the proposed 48unit complex would be able to utilize the existing

amenities at Aspen Club, which include a pool, walking trails and a “tot lot.”

“In a nutshell, I think it’s important to acknowledge that Aspen Village and Aspen Club function as one unit,” Floyd told commissioners before the vote Oct. 15. He argued that the amenities already in place at Aspen Club should be noted in considering the proposal for new units.

Commissioners Meadows and Bob Lee (Marshall District), both of whom voted to recommend denying the application, said they understood the need for affordable housing in Fauquier County but cited the number of units proposed and the elimination of some existing open space in voting against the proposal.

Center District Commissioner Diane Roteman agreed. “I really applaud the affordable housing in this part of the county,” she said at a work session that morning. “I just think that … It’s not the right configuration. There’s not enough space. Or there’s too much space being used for parking. It’s needed. It’s just not right.”

Commissioner Matthew Smith (Cedar Run District) was the only member to vote in favor of approving the rezoning request. He pointed out that proposed density of the proposed apartments (about eight units per acre) is far less than the maximum density (2o units per acre) envisioned in the Bealeton service district plan.

“One reason I like this is because of the need for this type of housing in Fauquier County,” Smith said at the earlier work session. “And I think if you picked a place in southern Fauquier … if you had to pick a place for this type of housing it would be exactly where this is. It’s got the exact same buildings with the exact same materials behind it. It’s got room for traffic [and] walkability for kids. It seems like an ideal situation for where to put this.”

Democrats look for gains in deep-red Fauquier, in 2020 and beyond DEMOCRATS, from page 1 President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, and a statewide Democratic candidate has carried the county only once since the year 2000.

However, more college-educated residents moving to Fauquier from liberal suburbs, combined with the Republican Party’s drift to the right, have given the Democrats an opening in the historically conservative county, according to political analysts from both parties.

Robert Zwick, the vice chair of Fauquier County’s electoral board and a former Democratic House of Delegates candidate, said the changing political landscape of Fauquier is as much about Trump as it is about new people moving to the county.

“It’s not that they’re changing the minds of old residents so much as with the new population that’s just coming in,” Zwick said. “The northern part of the county attracts wealthy, college-educated voters.

The southern end of the county has more modestly priced housing and is rural.”

While Fauquier is still reliably Republican, statewide elections in 2017 and 2018 have seen Democrats steadily chipping away at Republican margins of victory in the county. Trump won the county by 25 points in 2016; Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie beat Gov. Ralph Northam by 20 points in

Robert Zwick is the vice chair of Fauquier County’s electoral board and a former Democratic House of Delegates candidate.

2017; and Republican U.S. Senate candidate and Trump-acolyte Corey Stewart beat incumbent Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine by 12 points in 2018.

Political analysts say that shift toward the Democrats is likely the result of the county’s slow but steady population growth, occurring in areas like Bealeton, New Baltimore and Vint Hill, coupled with a strong, anti-Trump sentiment among higher income and college-educated voters.

The county has attracted a steady trickle of new residents in recent years, adding a total of about 6,000

new residents since 2010, and more than 10,000 new registered voters to its voter rolls. Voting precincts that have added the most voters in the county during that time – Vint Hill and Bealeton – also had the largest Democratic swing between 2016 and 2018.

Vint Hill has added about 1,800 new registered voters since 2010 and voted for Trump by a 30-point margin in 2016. Two years later, Stewart carried the precinct by just 14 points – a 16-point swing in favor of the Democrats. Bealeton added

just over 1,000 new registered voters since 2010 and voted for Trump by 24 points in 2016. And Stewart carried Bealeton by only seven points – an 17-point swing in favor of the Democrats.

David Ramadan, a former Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates and an adjunct professor at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government, said the county’s proximity to Washington, D.C. means that some parts of the county will “follow the trend of the rest of Northern Virginia,” where fast suburban growth has contributed to a wash of Democratic victories.

“Fauquier is not Northern Virginia, but that won’t be for long,” Ramadan said. “That sprawl of urban to rural will catch up pretty soon.”

But Ramadan added that the rural and agricultural areas in the county will “remain solid Republican.”

Ben Tribbett, a Fairfax-based Democratic political consultant, said Fauquier is a good example of an area where two opposing political shifts are happening simultaneously that have resulted in “a slight gain for Democrats.”

Tribbett said rural voters in the county are continuing to move away from Democrats, and “highly educated, high-income areas” are moving toward Democrats. Tribbett said See DEMOCRATS, page 7

Explanation for Proposed Constitutional Amendment To Be Voted on at the November 3, 2020, Election

BALLOT QUESTION

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Article II. Franchise and Officers.

Section 6. Apportionment.

Section 6-A. Virginia Redistricting Commission

Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to establish a redistricting commission, consisting of eight members of the General Assembly and eight citizens of the Commonwealth, that is responsible for drawing the congressional and state legislative districts that will be subsequently voted on, but not changed by, the General Assembly and enacted without the Governor’s involvement and to give the responsibility of drawing districts to the Supreme Court of Virginia if the redistricting commission fails to draw districts or the General Assembly fails to enact districts by certain deadlines?

EXPLANATION Current Law Under the current Constitution, the General Assembly and the Governor are responsible for drawing new election districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, the state Senate, and the House of Delegates. These districts are required to be compact and contiguous, and to have populations that are equal to each other.

Proposed Law The proposed amendment would shift the responsibility of drawing these election districts from the General Assembly and the Governor to a bipartisan commission, made up of 16 persons, half being members of the General Assembly and half being citizens of the Commonwealth. This commission would draw the election districts for the U.S. House of Representatives, the state Senate, and the House of Delegates and then submit the maps to the General Assembly for approval. If the commissioners are unable to agree on proposals for maps by a certain date, or if the General Assembly does not approve the submitted maps by a certain date, the commission is allotted additional time to draw new districts, but if maps are not then submitted or approved, the Supreme Court of Virginia becomes responsible for drawing these election districts.

The eight legislative commissioners are appointed by the political party leadership in the state Senate and the House of Delegates, with an equal number from each house and from each major political party. The eight citizen commissioners are picked by a committee of five retired circuit court judges. Four of the retired judges are selected by party leaders in the Senate and the House from a list compiled by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia. These four judges pick the fifth judge from the same list. This selection committee then chooses citizen commissioners from lists created by party leaders in the Senate and the House. Members and employees of Congress or the General Assembly cannot be citizen commissioners. Each party leader in each house gives the selection committee a list of at least 16 candidates, and the committee picks two from each list for a total of eight citizen commissioners.

For a plan to be submitted for the General Assembly’s approval, at least six of the eight citizen commissioners and at least six of the eight legislative commissioners must agree to it. Additionally, for plans for General Assembly districts to be submitted, at least three of the four Senators on the commission have to agree to the Senate districts plan and at least three of the four Delegates on the commission have to agree to the House of Delegates districts plan. The General Assembly cannot make any changes to these plans, and the Governor cannot veto any plan approved by the General Assembly.

The amendment also adds a requirement that districts provide, where practicable, opportunities for racial and ethnic communities to elect candidates of their choice.

A “yes” vote will make a bipartisan commission responsible for the initial drawing of election districts.

A “no” vote will leave the sole responsibility for drawing the districts with the General Assembly and the Governor.

New OB/GYN physician joins Fauquier Health OB/GYN, from page 1 much as we should,” she said. “I have a passion for women’s health.”

Her training was in D.C., a fastpaced urban center with high-risk patients. She said, “It’s nice to have had that training, but at Fauquier, I’ll be able to get to know our patients, to develop relationships over the course of their lifetime. I value that opportunity.”

A board-eligible physician – she could earn board certification in about two years -- Diamond will join OB/GYN Dr. Barry Aaron and midwife Monica Freidline, RN, CNM, NP, at Fauquier Health OB/GYN in Warrenton, delivering babies and performing gynecological procedures at Fauquier Hospital.

Diamond said that she worked with midwives in D.C., but not as closely. “They did their separate thing,” she said. “Here, we work much more closely together. We are all one team.”

Diamond smiled when asked about working with Aaron. “Dr. Aaron has been so welcoming.” On Friday afternoon, in fact, she was scheduled to shadow Aaron for a hysterectomy procedure.

Once she’s fully on board and has completed her final certification on robotic surgery, Diamond will use Fauquier Hospital’s state-of-the-art da Vinci XI robot to perform gynecological surgeries. “The benefit of the robot is it allows you to do more complicated surgeries in a non-invasive way.”

She suggested that a myomectomy (the removal of uterine fibroids) was a good example of a difficult surgery made easier with the da Vinci XI. Diamond said that the surgery is most commonly done on women who still want to have children; they want to remove the fibroids but keep their uterus intact. “It’s challenging to do that surgery laparoscopically. We usually have to make a larger incision and open everything up. But the ro-

bot gives you the precision you need to do it in a minimally invasive way.”

Diamond will also work with women on reproductive health and wellness. “I will be someone who sits down with you and goes over your options. What are your goals? Is it just about birth control, or are you looking to achieve lighter periods, less pain during menstruation or even address acne caused by hormones?”

She said, “I will look at the whole picture and find out what the woman wants to achieve.” Incontinence, for instance, is a problem for some women after they give birth. Medication or physical therapy to strengthen the pelvic floor can achieve good results, she said.

On the obstetrics side of her job, Diamond said she has delivered about 500 babies thus far. “It’s such a magical moment that you get to share with the family. It’s a moment they are going to remember forever. It’s such a privilege to be a part of that.”

Diamond said she partners with women during their prenatal care and the birth. “I’m there to guide the process. Her body is doing most of the work. Women are incredibly strong. I’m just there to help them have the birth they want.” She also stresses that it’s “absolutely vital” for women to have the support of a care partner during labor.

Although Diamond said that her training includes work with highrisk pregnancies – those involving a patient with diabetes, hypertension, fibroids or hypothyroid, for instance – but she said that fewer than 5% of births require any of kind of emergency intervention.

Diamond begins work Nov. 1 and already has a full schedule of patients. Some appointments are being accomplished through telemedicine and Diamond said she’d like to see that option grow, for the convenience and safety of her patients.

“I have been overwhelmed by how nice everyone is here. The kindness and warmth from other physicians, the clinical and hospital staff.

It makes me feel like I’ve chosen a great place to work.”

Fauquier Health opens internal medicine clinic in Culpeper Fauquier Health has opened a new internal medicine office at 1100 Sunset Lane, Culpeper. The practice will share office space with the health system’s already established general surgery office at that location, which opened in October 2019.

The Internal Medicine office will be led by Dr. Gurwinder Singh. He is board-certified in internal medicine and focuses on adult health, diabetes, chronic disease management (such as heart and lung), preventative education, endocrinology and critical care management.

Singh graduated from the Sri Guru Ram Dass Institute of Medical Science and Research in Amritsar, India, in 2014. He completed his residency training at the Mercy Catholic

Medical Center with Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2018. Prior to joining Fauquier Health, Singh spent the last several years in Williamsburg, working simultaneously at Sentara Internal Medicine Physicians (primary clinic) and Williamsburg Landing Primary Care (secondary clinic).

“Fauquier Health is working toward a long-term plan to expand service offerings and care to the residents of Culpeper County. Dr. Gurwinder Singh plays a large part in this,” said Chad Melton, CEO of Fauquier Health. Singh is accepting appointments now at Fauquier Health Internal Medicine in Culpeper.

Explanation for Proposed Constitutional Amendment To Be Voted on at the November 3, 2020, Election PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Article X. Taxation and Finance.

Section 6. Exempt Property BALLOT QUESTION Should an automobile or pickup truck that is owned and used primarily by or for a veteran of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard who has a one hundred percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability be free from state and local taxation?

EXPLANATION Present Law Generally, the Constitution of Virginia requires all property be taxed. However, there are certain types of property that the Constitution specifically says is not subject to taxation.

Proposed Amendment This amendment would add to the list of property that is not subject to state or local taxation one motor vehicle owned and used primarily by or for a veteran of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard who has a one hundred percent (100%) service-connected, permanent, and total disability. The amendment says that motor vehicle means an automobile or pickup truck.

The motor vehicle would be exempt from taxation beginning on the date the veteran gets the motor vehicle or January 1, 2021, whichever is later. A veteran who claims this tax exemption would not get back any taxes paid on his motor vehicle prior to January 1, 2021.

Under this amendment, a motor vehicle that is owned by the spouse of a veteran of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard with a one hundred percent (100%) service-connected, permanent, and total disability could also be free from taxation.

The General Assembly is allowed to pass a law that places conditions or restrictions on this exemption.

A “yes” vote will mean the Constitution of Virginia will be amended to exempt one automobile or pickup truck that is owned and used primarily by or for a veteran of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard who has a one hundred percent (100%) service-connected, permanent, and total disability from state and local taxation.

A “no” vote will leave the Constitution of Virginia unchanged and automobiles and pickup trucks owned and used primarily by or for a veteran of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard who has a one hundred percent (100%) service-connected, permanent, and total disability will continue to be subject to state and local taxes.

FULL TEXT OF AMENDMENT [Proposed new language is underlined. Deleted old language is stricken.]

Any such motor vehicle owned by a married person may qualify if either spouse is a veteran who is one hundred percent disabled pursuant to this subdivision. This exemption shall be applicable on the date the motor vehicle is acquired or the effective date of this subdivision, whichever is later, but shall not be applicable for any period of time prior to the effective date.

A local governing body may be authorized to establish either income or financial worth limitations, or both, in order to qualify for such relief. (c) Except as to property of the Commonwealth, the General Assembly by general law may restrict or condition, in whole or in part, but not extend, any or all of the above exemptions. (d) The General Assembly may define as a separate subject of taxation any property, including real or personal property, equipment, facilities, or devices, used primarily for the purpose of abating or preventing pollution of the atmosphere or waters of the Commonwealth or for the purpose of transferring or storing solar energy, and by general law may allow the governing body of any county, city, town, or regional government to exempt or partially exempt such property from taxation, or by general law may directly exempt or partially exempt such property from taxation. (e) The General Assembly may define as a separate subject of taxation household goods, personal effects and tangible farm property and products, and by general law may allow the governing body of any county, city, town, or regional government to exempt or partially exempt such property from taxation, or by general law may directly exempt or partially exempt such property from taxation.

(j) The General Assembly may by general law allow the governing body of any county, city, or town to have the option to exempt or partially exempt from taxation any business, occupational or professional license or any merchants’ capital, or both. (k) The General Assembly may by general law authorize the governing body of any county, city, or town to provide for a partial exemption from local real property taxation, within such restrictions and upon such conditions as may be prescribed, of improved real estate subject to recurrent flooding upon which flooding abatement, mitigation, or resiliency efforts have been undertaken.

Fauquier Health Family Birthing Center looks forward to birthing more babies

By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

Fauquier Hospital is looking to grow its Family Birthing Center. The 15-bed, operating room-equipped unit handled 330 births in 2019 and 260 so far in 2020. In 2017 and 2018, five OB/GYN physicians delivered more than 800 babies each year, but the birthing center currently has only one OB/GYN and one midwife providing services.

Anticipated growth, said new FBC manager Jammie Moran, RN, BSN, will come from a combination of more personnel and enhanced facilities.

Obstetrician/gynecologist Dr. Barry Aaron and midwife Monica Friedline, RN, CNM, NP, are currently handling all patients at Fauquier Health OB/GYN, but a new OB/GYN, Dr. Elise Diamond, is scheduled to start Nov. 1. (See accompanying story, page 1.)

Also on the horizon, Fauquier Health will have a new midwife on staff in January and would like to hire one more midwife and another two physicians. Thirty-five nurses and support staff round out the team.

Once Diamond joins the practice, patients may be able to see providers in the Warrenton office (253 Veterans Drive, Suite 210) and in Culpeper (currently a Fauquier Health General

For laboring mothers, the FBC offers comfortable rooms where mothers can labor and deliver. On a recent visit, Friedline and Moran showed off the FBC’s “spa,” complete with a large hydrotherapy tub where patients can labor until the late stages of labor.

Moran said that two more tubs will be built in FBC labor rooms in the second quarter of 2021. “The spa we have is not located in a labor/ delivery room, so when the mom is ready, we take her in a wheelchair to her room.” She added that the hospital does not do “water births,” but

“We can play music and put on aromatherapy to help the mom relax,” said Moran. She said that waterproof telemetry equipment means that a laboring mom can use the spa even if she has to be continuously monitored.

Another pain management tool, nitrous oxide, will be implemented in 2021, said Freidline. “Not many places offer it, but it’s a safe option.”

Friedline and Moran are very much on the same page as far as their vision for the future of the FBC. Moran took charge of the unit a little more than a month ago, but she didn’t need much time to get comfortable. Moran and Friedline were labor and delivery nurses together at the FBC 12 years ago, and their bond goes back much further than that. “We were best friends in first grade, at what was then Central Elementary School,” said Freidline.

Moran added, “We were working together one night, and it just dawned on me, ‘You’re Monica Jones, aren’t you?’”

To prevent the spread of the coronavirus to expectant parents and their newborn the following precautions are in place for parentsto-be at Fauquier Hospital: • Patients are screened at prenatal appointments.

• In-person childbirth classes have been canceled for months, but hospital spokeswoman Sarah Cubbage said that they hope to start them up again.

• Prospective patients can take a virtual tour of the Family Birthing Center (https://www. fauquierhealth.org/our-services/ womens-health/birthing-services) in lieu of an in-person visit.

• Starting at 36 weeks, mothers-tobe are encouraged to limit their exposure to others to prevent possible exposure to COVID-19.

• One caregiver is allowed in the labor/delivery room while the mother is laboring. The caregiver must be the same person throughout; that person may not

Call the midwife

Fauquier Health OB/GYN midwife Monica Freidline offers some details she’d like her patients to know about midwives: • Midwives can order ultrasounds and can prescribe medication.

They can also order anesthesia.

• An M.D. may not always be present during a birth, unless a c-section is possible or certain other risk factors are present.

• A midwife can also be helpful for prospective fathers. She said, “I’ll tell them to make sure to drink water, eat something, or it’s OK to sit down. I help them get involved in the prep work. I teach them how to help mom get through it. I provide as much education as possible.”

• Midwives can perform well woman visits for women at any age – not just pregnant moms.

Friedline also wants parents to know: “It’s OK if the baby doesn’t come on your due date. That is just an estimate. Moms are also surprised to learn they are not supposed to gain a pound a week!”

in touch. “We both wanted to come back and support the community.”

Friedline said, “I wanted to give women options. I wanted to be able to give them the birth that they want, safely. I like bedside care,” so she pursued a career as a midwife, returning to Fauquier Health as its first-ever midwife earlier this year.

Moran followed the leadership route.

“I was on the fence between becoming a nurse practitioner or going into leadership.” When she was working at a hospital in Stafford County, “leadership chose me,” she said. She is currently working on her master's degree in nursing and an MBA in health care.

Moran said she still feels most comfortable in scrubs. “I remember the first time helping with a delivery, tearing up.

Every birth is special and unique.”

Friedline laughed, “You caught a baby for me just the other day.”

Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com leave and return.

• If the mother is to have a scheduled procedure (like a scheduled c-section, for instance), she must have a COVID-19 test three to five days before.

• Both parents will be screened for symptoms upon arrival at the hospital and will have their temperatures taken.

• Masks must be worn throughout their stay, except when parents are alone in their room.

• If a mom tests positive, she will be able to deliver in a negative pressure room (in which a lower air pressure allows outside air into the room; any air that flows out of the room has to pass through a filter), and the caregiver will do most of the caregiving once the baby is born.

Everyone who interacts with the family will wear personal protective equipment.

The first postpartum visit with Dr. Barry Aaron or midwife Monica Friedline -- two to three weeks after the birth -- is virtual. “We’ll see them in person at six weeks,” said Friedline.

PUBLIC SAFETY Bealeton man arrested after hit and run; victim is in critical condition

An arrest has been made in an Oct. 25 hit and run incident in Bealeton.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 11027 block of Marsh Road when a caller reported that a pedestrian ANDREW FRIEND had been struck by a car. When deputies arrived on the scene, rescue units were attending to a man lying on the roadway. During an investigation, deputies were able to identify a witness and view video surveillance from local businesses, which lead them to a vehicle that allegedly hit the man. Deputies later located the vehicle parked near the scene.

The vehicle was registered to Andrew Friend, 38, of Bealeton. He has been charged with felony hit and run.

The victim was treated at the scene and transported to INOVA Fairfax Hospital where he remains in critical condition. Friend is currently being held at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center on a $10,000 secure bond.

He added, “We will investigate all such matters and work with prosecutors to bring those responsible to justice.”

Waynesboro woman arrested on carjacking, assault charges Thursday

A Waynesboro woman was arrested in Warrenton Thursday after allegedly assaulting a man in a U-Haul truck in Calverton, stealing the truck and eluding law enforcement until she was stopped at the corner of Falmouth Street and Old Meetze Road, according to a press release from the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office.

Animal cruelty case likely headed to jury trial

By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

The outcome of the animal cruelty charges against Irina Barrett will likely be decided by a jury. In a brief hearing in circuit court Monday morning, Barrett told Judge James Plowman she would like to proceed to a jury trial on the six criminal charges against her.

Plowman scheduled a status hearing for Nov. 23, during which he said he could most likely schedule a jury.

(Jury trials have been interrupted by the pandemic, but the John Barton Payne Building in Warrenton is being outfitted currently for physically distanced trials.)

Barrett, the owner of Canis Maximus kennel in Broad Run, was indicted last month on five felony counts – including four counts of animal cruelty causing death and one count of torturing an animal causing death -- of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor count of providing inadequate veterinary care to an animal. Monday was Barrett’s first court appearance since the indictments.

The indictments came after months of litigation -- at one point, the case against Barrett almost fell apart entirely.

On March 10, Fauquier County District Court Judge Gregory Ashwell upheld a motion by Barrett’s attorney, Trey Mayfield, that claimed connection with reported thefts from parked cars in Warrenton.

In the early morning hours of Sept. 5, Warrenton Police Department officers responded NICHOLAS to the area of Oak Springs Drive and MAVROMMATIS Fletcher Drive on multiple reports of car break-ins.

Multiple credit cards and other items were allegedly stolen from unsecured vehicles, according to Officer Chai Fuller of the Warrenton Police.

Charges were obtained on Friday, Oct. 16, for Vincent Calvanese, 29, and Nicholas Mavrommatis, 32, both of Manassas. Both were charged with seven counts of credit card theft, three counts of breaking p.m., Saturday Nov. 7.

The workshop will include workshops on court records; internet resources; African American research and resources; resources to use when no vital records are available; DAR requirements and resources; SAR requirements and resources; organizing your research, and interpreting your DNA results.

There will be a door prize drawing during the lunch break. Participants must register by Nov. 5. Contact Annie Campeol at anniepcamp@outlook. com.

the original search warrant that led to the county’s seizure of the animals was not properly obtained. Subsequently, criminal charges IRINA BARRETT against Barrett were dismissed.

However, the Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Doug Rogers appealed the ruling and Circuit Court Judge Jeanette Irby overturned Ashwell’s decision on Aug. 10, meaning the evidence obtained by the search warrant is admissible in court. Considering that evidence, a grand jury indicted Barrett Sept. 28, reviving the charges against her and sending the case to circuit court.

Barrett also faces a civil case to determine whether the 70 dogs seized from her in January can be permanently removed from her custody.

The Fauquier SPCA has been caring for the dogs since Barrett was first arrested, and a trial in circuit court to determine their permanent custody is scheduled for Dec. 14.

If convicted, Barrett faces up to five years imprisonment on each felony count and/or a $2,500 fine.

On the misdemeanor charge, the maximum penalty is a $250 fine. into a vehicle and one count of conspiracy to commit a felony, said Fuller.

She said that Mavrommatis was arrested and served on Oct. 16, and he is being held in VINCENT Prince William CALVANESE County, adding that Calvanese is still at large. Anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts is urged to contact the closest law enforcement agency. The non-emergency number for the Warrenton Police Department is 540-347-1100.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Decision on Main Street project does not serve Marshall residents

The time has come to institute term limits for all elected officials

As a Marshall resident I would like to thank the over 300 Marshall residents who signed the petition against the Marshall ROBERT H. WRIGHT JR. Main Street project, and the over Warrenton 700 people who signed the online petition. Also, thank you to the residents who have been out on Saturday mornings protesting and informing people why we the Marshall residents are against this I believe that the only power that real- project.

As your readers are already ly matters is love. I look to the Gospel aware, we are against the project of Matthew, chapters 5 to 7, often referred to as the Sermon on the Mount. as it will narrow the road on our Here we find the primary teachings of main street and increase our taxes Jesus when it comes to the moral con- through the special district lightduct of our lives. Toward the concluing tax by 400%. sion, Jesus says, “So in everything, do This project is already estimatto others what you would have them ed to cost over $6,500,000 and do to you, for this sums up the Law only last week the board of superand the Prophets.” visors approved an increase to the Rabbi Hillel said much the same: cost of over $600,000 to be added “What is hateful to you do not do to the project. to your neighbors; that is the whole Unfortunately, the board of Torah … go and learn it.” supervisors last Thursday voted The philosophy of “winning at for this project and to award the all costs” and the Golden Rule have contract anyway, despite a large nothing in common, especially if group speaking out against it in bullying, harassment, rejection, citizens time. The meeting was a oppression, violence, manipulation, travesty and the tone was very pahateful speech, or outright lies are tronizing to the residents of Marthe behaviors we employ. Common shall who were present. Instead of decency is at the heart of the Golden the board of supervisors telling us Rule and it is expressed in love, respect, compassion, and concern for all that we hear your concerns, and we actually care, we were told of our neighbors and not just some. that we needed a lesson on VirI hope that we can keep this in ginia Civics 101 from Mr. [Chris] mind as we vote on Nov. 3. ComGranger as to how Marshall is not mon decency embodied in our a town and therefore has no say, leaders does matter. We have an important choice to make. The soul and how grateful we should be of our nation depends upon it. that the developers are paying so THE REV. ROB BANSE much of the cost and that VDOT Delaplane years are like dog years and if we think that they are going to come

I believe that the time has come to have term limits for all elected officials federal state and local ... By doing this, we can help ensure that "fresh thinking/ideas" and "new blood" will be part of our government in all levels.

I know that this idea will not be popular with many.

Writer calls for a discussion on common decency this election season This year’s campaign season has revealed once again how far we have fallen when it comes to integrity, mutual respect and common decency in the conduct of our national life. We are exercised a great deal about “lies,” “fake news,” “draining the swamp” and what it means to be an American from competing ideological points of view. And there are certainly single moral issues that seem to either galvanize or antagonize, thereby further dividing us into conflicted subgroups.

However, we have abandoned any real dialogue about common decency and why it is essential to the well-being of all communities that seek to live together peaceably.

Perhaps our commitment to “individualism” makes a shared sense of moral conduct impossible.

Were Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand right when they claimed that the only real philosophy that matters is the will to power? Of course, such thinking sets us free to bond with only those who think like us and act like us and then hate those “on the other side.”

It gives us permission to abandon compassion entirely. All we need to focus on in life is to win by imposing our will on others. Common decency is replaced by “survival of the fittest.”

We’re either friend or foe.

I do not accept this. As a Christian,

Better communication with residents could have forestalled problems on Waterloo Street I applaud the town’s [Warrenton] response to complaints about the adverse consequences of traffic calming measures on Waterloo Street. That response, however, suggests that at least some of the harm inflicted on Waterloo Street residents could have been avoided had there been more effective outreach by the town before the measures were implemented.

I don’t expect the town to be clairvoyant, but I do expect it to educate itself about foreseeable consequences of actions it intends to take. Those most likely to foresee unintended consequences are often the residents most directly affected by town actions -- in this instance, folks residing on Waterloo Street.

Had they been asked their opinion of the calming measures in advance, residents who have lost places to park or who

have had to cope with oncoming traffic that can’t be seen from the safety of their driveways could have alerted the town to the harm the changes would cause before those changes were made. That would have saved the town time and expense and spared residents six months of hardship and inconvenience.

I consider myself fortunate to live in a town small enough that local authorities have the opportunity to listen to their constituents as well as to speak to them; to work with as well as to work for those constituents; and to learn from as well as to inform those constituents. I hope this occasion will spur more and better communication between the town and its residents.

JOHN VOLPE III Warrenton

in on a white horse anytime soon and pave the main street we are wrong. Also, that so much money had already been spent on the project that they had no choice but to go forward.

Mary [Leigh] McDaniel told us that the people of Marshall want the project to go ahead despite the few people outside the building who did not. The few people present at this meeting who spoke for the project were two realtors and an employee of a restaurant who read aloud a letter from his employer about how Marshall would benefit from the project.

Everyone in Marshall knows that there are conflicts of interest with this project, although one board member did recuse himself as he owns a building in Marshall that is not on the one block which will be developed.

So, what have learned from this is that Marshall residents will have to dig deep in their pockets to pay extra taxes during this COVID time when so many families and business are struggling and in dire straits.

Local small longtime businesses that serve the people of Marshall will probably go under due to the disruption during the two to three years of construction.

We learned that we do not have a voice or a say in our town and that developers will determine our taxes in the future. The board of supervisors clearly has many interests, but the people and the future of Marshall is not one of them.

FAUQUIER PITCHING ACE HARRINGTON PICKS PRINCETON

Warrenton ice dancers Molly Cesanek and Yehor Yehorov took fifth at last weekend’s Skate America event in Las Vegas.

All-district hurler wants a strong engineering school

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Don’t let Meghan Harrington fool you.

Behind her sunny disposition and omnipresent smile lies a softball pitcher who thrives on competition.

The Fauquier High senior lost her junior year to the pandemic, but won first-team all-Northwestern District honors as a sophomore, and is ready to make up for lost time as a senior.

A top-notch student, Harrington wants an engineering school and recently announced her decision to attend Princeton University. “Princeton checked all the boxes when it comes to what I was looking for in a school and a softball program,” said Harrington.

Harrington’s will-to-win surfaced in youth soccer at age four. Teams did not engage in actual games. “We would be practicing and I would be ‘I want to play somebody. I want to compete,” said Harrington.

So she switched to softball, a natural choice.

Her mother, Sue, was a high school third baseman and Sue’s dad played slow-pitch. Meghan also did ballet for eight years and participated in acrobatics, horseback riding and middle school theater.

Her mother has been at her side as her pitching coach for most of her career, and her catcher. The two use an indoor space at home to hone mechanics. “Pretty much through my whole pitching career, she’s been the one who has worked with me,” Harrington said. “Because she catches for me so often, she sees all my pitches and understands them.”

Mom now is a Fauquier assistant coach, calling the pitches for her daughter and the other Falcon hurlers.

“I very rarely shake off a pitch, but it does happen occasionally,” Harrington said. “More often than not, if she’s unsure about a pitch to call, she’ll call it out like a question. Then, we can nod if we want to throw it, or shake it off if we want a different pitch.”

Harrington favors her riser the most, followed by the changeup, and also has a fastball, screwball and a drop ball. She admitted her top fastball has been measured at 65 miles per hour, equivalent to a 91 mph baseball pitch.

Harrington’s internal drive makes her a player

Fauquier senior Meghan Harrington will pitch at Princeton, where she may study mechanical engineering. college coaches wanted. “I think it would be surprising to some people how competitive I can get.

It is funny. For a pitcher, I have a quiet demeanor on the mound... more reserved than some people.

It’s calm on the outside, but I strike you out on the inside,’” she said, laughing.

Fauquier coach Erika Lamper is an unabashed fan of her No. 1 pitcher. “She totally encompasses the Falcon softball program mentality, which is team first,” Lamper said. “The younger girls see her commitment to making the program better, not just focusing on our record... and she does it with a huge smile.”

Harrington attended her first prospect camp at Princeton, and was also involved with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth, Lafayette, New York University, Christopher Newport, Colorado School of Mines, Virginia Wesleyan and Shepherd.

Princeton, MIT, Lafayette and CNU were in her final four.

A Mountain Vista Governor’s School student at FHS, she hopes to major in aerospace and mechanical engineering at Princeton. With an affinity for flight, she’s interested in a possible career at NASA, or company like Boeing.

David Noonan named Kettle Run girls basketball coach

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Kettle Run High School has filled its biggest coaching need for the upcoming winter sports season.

Fauquier, by contrast, still needs to fill two head coaching slots with less than eight weeks before scheduled practices begin.

At Kettle Run, David Noonan was hired as the new girls basketball coach. Noonan, a history teacher, had been the varsity assistant under Ellen Allen, who retired from the school system before the school began.

The county’s human resources department had placed a freeze on filling such positions

since March due to the uncertainty on athletics because of the pandemic. Word came Oct. 9 the hiring embargo has been lifted.

Kettle Run activities director Paul Frye said he had “a few” applications and moved quickly once given the green light.

He is pleased with his selection, especially with formal practice opening Dec. 7.

“He’s somebody who’s in the building, familiar with the kids, familiar with me,” Frye said.

‘It’s a good hire.”

Fauquier AD Mark Ott needs to find a replacement for Doug Fisher, the highly successful Falcon wrestling coach who won three state championships

in 10 years. The Fauquier swimming job also is open after Jon Kraut resigned. Both sports commence Dec. 14.

Ott said only one person has applied for the wrestling job, but he wants to have a larger field before starting interviews. “I’m not hiring anybody on [the basis] of one application,” Ott said.

“I’m hoping to get more [soon] so we can start interviews.”

The swim position could be more nettlesome, as no one has expressed interest as of last week.

“It’s hard to find swim coaches especially because they are a rare breed of people,” Ott said, hopeful someone is interested. “There are not many people who do it.”

It’s official. Molly Cesanek and Yehor Yehorov are ascending stars in the international figure skating orbit.

The Warrenton ice dancing couple are back from an exhilarating week in Las Vegas competing in the 2020 Skate America competition, a nationally televised event that ended Saturday.

In their first performance at the senior level, they took a satisfying fifth place overall, including a third place finish in technical marks at their first senior Grand Prix.

They flew home late Sunday, arriving at midnight, and getting back to Warrenton at 2 a.m. Monday. With the adrenalin still flowing from their intense week, they didn’t get to sleep until 5 a.m., and woke up at 3 p.m.

“We did exactly what we dreamed of doing,” said Cesanek, 19, of the fifth place finish. “The performance went extremely well, it was everything we hoped for.”

“All the athletes, role models, staff were very welcoming to us as the new ice dancing team entering the senior league,” said Yehorov, 21. “People were asking us how our practices went, and we met everyone and became good friends with so many, and were so well taken care of. We’re now friends with people we’ve admired for years.”

The highlight was performing their routines at figure skating’s highest level. Although no fans were allowed in Orleans Arena, “It was very homey,” said Yehorov, citing the cutout fans and crowd noises piped in.

The event is the biggest annual international figure skating competition held in the U.S. It only included American skaters and a few international athletes who train in the U.S. Both said the safety precautions employed were exceptionally thorough. “We’re so thankful for what U.S. Figure Skating created to have this event,” said Yehorov.

Yehorov said his parents in Ukraine followed his progress via YouTube videos and Molly’s Instagram and Facebook posts.

The couple admitted to being a little starstruck at times, as they mingled and had meals with such superstars as Nathan Chen and Mariah Bell, who won the Skate America men’s and women’s titles. Cesanek and Yehorov became good friends with ice dance champions Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue and second place finishers Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker, who are Cesanek and Yegorov’s role models.

They’ll next compete in a U.S. Figure Skating Championship Series Event in Fort Wayne, Ind., Nov. 17-20.

Popular winner Curve of Stones powers home in International Gold Cup Locally owned, trained and ridden runner nails down second stake score

Invocation, left, jumps past Mercoeur – winner at the Virginia Gold Cup in June – to win the steeplethon.

By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

No crowd. No betting.

More runners than ever. More races than ever.

The 83rd running of the historic International Gold Cup stakes was full of ups and downs Saturday – with 10 races and 82 starters the biggest fall meet held at Great Meadow, none more than signature Gold Cup winner, Curve of Stones.

Clarke County-bred, Culpeper-owned, Orange County-trained and Middleburg-ridden, the surprise 2020 circuit superstar added his second-straight timber stake Oct. 24, winning the 3 ½ mile feature by 7 lengths for his overjoyed local connections.

“He gets lonely out in front on his own,” explained winning rider Barry Foley of an expertly timed move after the water jump. He accelerated into contention in 100 yards last time down the backstretch and powered home on cruise control. “I had to wait to make the front. I knew the pace was strong, and I was happy to leave them go.”

Satish (Tom Garner up) set the early marks, dragging the other six Gold Cup starters through fast fractions. Officer Sydney (Parker Hendriks) edged to the front as the group cleared the 10th but lost Hendriks with a bobble at the 13th.

Foley chased Curve of Stones,

In an iconic fall Gold Cup scene from Great Meadow Saturday, feature winner Curve of Stones, no. 3, powers from last to first on the colorful backstretch the last time around. Leader Satish fell at the second-last; Super Saturday, no. 4, finished second, Codrington College, no. 7, was third. No. 6, Handsome Hoyt, pulled up. a gray son of Arch born at Audley Farm in Berryville in 2011, into contention on the last turn, accelerating up the stretch and proving his first timber stake score Oct. 12 at Virginia Fall was no fluke.

“He usually likes to win by a head or a neck, so today was extra special,” Foley said of the easy victory.

Foley, 36 and a native of County Cork, Ireland, added that Curve of Stones and Great Meadow have both have played pivotal roles in his American steeplechase career.

“He was my first American race ride,” at the Loudoun Hunt Pointto-Point in April 2016, Foley said, and first American winner – a maiden hurdle at the May 2016 Virginia Gold Cup meet. “He was my first winner over timber,” last March at Orange County Point-to-Point, “and my first timber stake winner,” at Virginia Fall.

Foley was leading rider on the Virginia circuit the last two seasons, clinching his third title Saturday.

Warrenton’s own Ashland Bassets win, again, at National field trials

Ashland Avatar led the local Ashland Bassets to victory at the Oct. 22 to 24 National Basset field trials, securing the Warrenton club’s fourth straight High Point Pack title.

Ashland won the five-couple and three-couple judging, placing second in seven-couple. Avatar won the bench champion title to clinch the top prize.

“We had wonderful … weather and there were lots of rabbits,” said Ashland joint-master and huntsman Mary Reed. “The National Beagle Club did a great job making it work.

It was easy to keep our distance, and everyone (did) what was necessary – wearing masks and hand sanitizers.”

Owner Rebecca’s Sheppard’s silks are the most distinctive on the ’chase circuit – navy blue with white naval officer’s insignia on the front panel in celebration of husband Pat’s Navy career.

Curve of Stones faces a stout test in the Nov. 1 Pennsylvania Hunt

Cup, wheeled back in along with Gold Cup runner-up Super Saturday in the four-mile stake. "We don’t know what the future holds for him,” Sheppard said. “But we’re confident he and his team will always give you their best every race day.”

Straylight Racing's Invocation (Sean McDermott) won his third cross-country steeplethon of the season for owner Alex Leventhal and trainer Mark Beecher. “I'm just a passenger enjoying the ride,” McDermott said. “All the jockeys, owners, trainers and stable staff (appreciate Gold Cup) stepping up and putting on a great race meeting in these challenging times.”

Condolences may be given at www.moserfuneralhome.com and www. greenleefuneralhome.com

Eva Richardson Eva Richardson of Warrenton, VA, died peacefully of natural causes with her daughters by her side at Breezy Knoll in Culpeper on October 17, 2020. She was 96 years old.

She is survived by her two daughters, Sheron Hume (Pete) of Marshall, VA and Carol Dandy (Darrold) of Annandale, VA; four grandsons, Mark and Shannon Hume, and Kevin and Matthew Dandy and families; ten greatgrandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and many extended relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Maria Ulias; by her beloved husband of 73 years, William, who died in 2015; by her sisters Sophie HIll, Alice Nemec and Jayne Whitaker; and by a great-great grandson, Andrew Hume.

Born on January 30, 1924 in Long Beach, California, she grew up in El Paso, TX where she was editor of the school newspaper and a tennis champion at El Paso HS. On April 2, 1942 she married William Richardson, a mounted soldier in the 7th Cavalry of the US Army. As an Army wife, she accompanied William on tours to Japan, Germany, Maryland and Virginia, always making their quarters a welcoming home.

William’s last duty station was Vint Hill Farms Station where Eva worked at the credit union as a loan officer and also served as president of the Officers’ Wives Club. When William retired from the Army in 1961, he and Eva settled in Warrenton and built their dream home on Piedmont St. where Eva filled the yard with colorful flowers and trees. She joined the Fauquier Garden Club; was elected the first female deacon of the Warrenton Presbyterian Church; and volunteered with the American Legion Hall, the American Cancer Society, Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, and the Wounded Warriors at Walter Reed Hospital. An avid bridge player, she was also active in several bridge groups. She particularly enjoyed serving tea at the Madison Tea Room on Main St. in Warrenton.

An active member of the Warrenton Presbyterian Church, for years she also participated with and led a weekly Bible study group of devoted elderly ladies called the Friendly Fridays at the Warrenton Baptist Church.

For decades she and William attended the annual reunions of the First Cavalry Division Association alternately held at Food Hood, TX, and throughout the United States where they enjoyed long-time friendships and camaraderie. They were especially supportive of the monthly meetings and charitable/civic activities of the Association’s metro chapter, renamed in 2014 the William A Richardson National Capital Region Chapter.

In retirement the couple traveled extensively throughout the United States, camping in their Airstream trailer, and delighted in cruises and international air travel, including one trip around the world. Over the years they regularly visited relatives in El Paso, TX; Bremerton, WA; and Long Island, NY and still enjoyed close and loving relationships with nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Cherishing her role as a grandmother, Eva loved spending time with her four grandsons, watching them grow and develop and often taking them along for their grandparents’ summer travels throughout the nation. Later, she was enchanted to make adored great-grandchildren and then great-great-grandchildren a special part of her life. Eva loved hosting family gatherings and holiday celebrations and savored these occasions with her beloved extended family.

The family would like to thank Gerri Boone and her Breezy Knoll staff for their years of loving and gentle care as well as Heartland Hospice, which along with the dedicated Breezy Knoll staff, eased Eva’s final days.

Interment will be at Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.

Due to the pandemic, a Celebration of Life will also be held at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to Fauquier Habitat for Humanity or to the Warrenton Presbyterian Church.

CELEBRATING LIFE Although most funerals remain understandably somber events, some families are opting for more celebratory services. Strict eulogies are being replaced with a more story-telling approach. Modern music is often chosen in place of hymns, and coffins are being decorated with art, photos, and signatures. Often people are asked in advance to write letters to the deceased, which will be read at the service. If there are a number of children in attendance, families have set up “memory hunts” in which they search for small items that contain facts and memories about the deceased. When the service is for an animal lover, pets have even been known to attend when the venue allows.

Personalizing a funeral or memorial service can be very therapeutic--it gives you and your family something to concentrate on as you relive memories. To meet the unique needs and budgets of every family we serve, MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers a diverse range of funeral services and products. To learn about our services, please call (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.
