Bob Good warns against ‘radical socialist agenda’ By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

At a private campaign event in Nelson County, 5th Congressional District Republican candidate and self-described “biblical conservative” Bob Good stood before a crowd of about 40 supporters and delivered a fiery speech outlining his vision for the sprawling rural district. “We are at war, and this is where we make our stand,” Good told the audience. The event was billed as a private “Second Amendment rally” hosted at a hunting lodge in Roseland, Vir-

ginia. Speakers included gun rights activist and Virginia Citizens Defense League President Philip Van Cleave and former Republican candidate for Virginia lieutenant governor E.W. Jackson. Good, a former Liberty University athletics official and former Campbell County supervisor with a background in banking and finance, is facing Democratic challenger Cameron Webb, a physician and public health director at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, in the general election. The 5th Congressional District, which stretches from the North Car-

cently rated the race a “toss-up.” Speaking from the patio of the hunting lodge, Good told the audience that protecting gun rights was among his top priorities as a candidate. Good railed against the new gun laws passed by the Virginia General Assembly this year, including universal background checks, “red flag” laws and the reinstated one-handgun-a-month law. “We will accept no compromise on this issue,” Good said. Van Cleave backed Good as “very strong on the Second Amendment.” See 5TH DISTRICT, page 4 A fire in the Striblings’ barn destroyed three structures, equipment and supplies.

Father, childhood friend remember the life of Derek De La Iglesia By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

Salvador De La Iglesia, of Bealeton, last saw his son on Oct. 5. Derek De La Iglesia, 21, had that day moved into a townhouse in Marshall with two friends, and he couldn’t figure out how to put a bed together. The younger De La Iglesia was shot and killed the next afternoon, Oct. 6, as he sat in his car in a Warrenton parking lot on Jackson Street. (See story, page 9) The night before he was killed, Derek De La Iglesia called his father and asked him for help putting together the bed, but told his dad there was no rush – he’d be fine sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a few days. His father came that night, anyway. “‘No, no, it’s fine,’ I told him, ‘I’ll

Virginia is preparing for an unprecedented vaccination campaign By Kate Masters

Courtesy of Virginia Mercury

Three million dollars for public outreach. Nearly $2.5 million for refrigerators and thermometers. And more than $71 million for mass vaccination clinics, where hundreds of thousands of Virginians could be immunized against COVID-19. Virginia’s plan, released to the Mercury Friday, shows the size and scale of a public health campaign designed to protect millions against a historic virus. The plan was submitted to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for review this week and remains “a living document as more information is understood, more vaccines are introduced, and any other considerations develop,” wrote Joseph Hilbert, the Virginia Department of Health’s deputy commissioner for governmental and regulatory affairs, in a Friday email. Previous mass vaccination efforts were still significantly different than what’s required for the COVID-19 pandemic — a potentially deadly virus that places certain types of people, including the elderly and infirm and those with other health conditions, most at risk. Virginia’s plans call for health experts to consider infection control measures at immunization sites, raising the possibility of drive-through clinics or events at large indoor venues that leave room for social distancing. There are also significant outstand-

the state’s immunization campaign. Gray said another complication could be the dosages for any future immunization. Many of the vaccines currently under trial will require two doses, “separated by 21 or 28 days,” according to the plan. It’s an effort that requires massive coordination and also the involvement of doctors across Virginia. The state’s planning document encourages patients to be immunized at their “medical home” whenever possible and describes the early recruitment of doctors as one of the most important early factors in mass vaccination. Earlier this month, Virginia Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver sent a letter to providers asking them to register with the state if they planned on distributing a COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Sandy Chung, a Northern Virginia-based pediatrician and president of the Virginia chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said most primary care physicians already have experience in giving out vaccinations to large number of patients, but the state is likely hoping to recruit nontraditional providers such as school systems or large employers. “I think that’s what they’re trying to assess — which health care providers are able to do this or willing to do this,” she added. “They need to know who’s ready.”

Survey: More than 2/3 of students will attend school in person two days per week By Robin Earl

Times Staff Writer

According to the results of a Fauquier County school division survey completed by parents, 68% of students would like to return to school in person beginning Nov. 9 and 32% would like to attend classes remotely through at least the end of the semester. The results of the survey, announced at Monday night’s school board meeting, were based on a survey return rate of 88% percent (representing 9,184 students). The remaining 1,231 students, whose families did not respond to the survey, have been placed in the pool of students who will return to school buildings two days a week – half on Mondays and Tuesdays, half on Thursdays and Fridays. After those students were added to the hybrid model, the school division announced that 71% of children will attend in-person classes while 29% will continue to learn virtually. Students are locked into their respective “in school” or “virtual” groups until the end of the semester -- unless a student who is attending school in person under the hybrid model has a health reason for switching to virtual. The hybrid model – which will have remote students watching their teachers in the classroom via webcam -- is scheduled to begin Nov. 9. One of the main challenges to bringing students back into the classroom is transportation, but only 31% of parents indicated, through the survey, that they will need bus transportation. In a “regular” year, about 60% of students ride buses to school. Of course, it’s not a regular year. The pandemic that closed schools in March means that children must remain distanced from one another, so buses can hold only half as many students. Superintendent of Schools David Jeck explained that it will take about three weeks to plan new bus routes, and several days for bus drivers to take test runs of the new routes, without children, to work out any difficulties. A presentation on the reopening plan states that 18 routes are still without drivers. Taking into ac-

Tom and Ashley Bringenberg, who are teachers and parents, attended the school board meeting Monday night with their three children, Hazel, Tommy and Lily. Lisa Carney (right), also a Fauquier County teacher, was also present to ask that the school board keep schools closed to students until January. count absenteeism, that could leave 20 routes a day open. The district has only seven substitute drivers, so the transportation department will explore staggered bell times and/or double routes for some elementary schools. The presentation stated: “… even with only an expected onethird ridership, staffing the routes could be challenging.” Another staffing problem could be substitute teachers. Since school board members put out the word that more substitute teachers were needed, more people have signed up to be substitutes. The school division now has 195 substitute teachers who will be ready to teach Nov. 9, said Jeck. But not everyone thinks that is enough. Susan Niber, an instructional assistant at Greenville Elementary, spoke during citizens time Monday, saying, “195 substitute teachers are not 195 available substitute teachers…. We lacked subs before. This has made the substitute crisis even worse … And subs are not teachers.” She said that teaching in the classroom while engaging with students learning from home via computer is tough for an experienced teacher. She worried that for a sub, it will be even tougher. during their homework help sessions. Lauren Smith, executive administrative assistant and assistant ministry director, said that tutors have been recruited -- from the church and nearby. All those working with the children have had a background check completed, she said. Smith added that COVID-19 preventative measures will be followed, including handwashing and temperature checks upon arrival. Face masks will be made available.  The church is at 8774 James Madison Highway, in Warrenton.  Anyone with questions may call the church office at 540-341-7409.

And, she reasoned, teachers are more likely to be calling in sick or quarantining during the pandemic. Other topics discussed Monday included safety measures to prevent the spread of disease and communication with parents and staff if an infection is identified. Children and staff will be required

to wear masks on the bus and in school. Frank Finn, assistant superintendent for student services and special education, explained that in certain situations -- perhaps involving children with an Individualized Education Program – face shields would be allowed. “Some children have a very hard time wearing a mask all day,” students who have asthma or those who are on the autism spectrum, for instance. Other safeguards would include daily student health screenings, physical distancing, facility cleaning, hand washing and revamping of clinic spaces to allow for children with symptoms to be isolated. Regarding notification of the community when cases occur, schools spokeswoman Tara Helkowski explained the school division’s COVID dashboard that shows how many people have reported positive COVID tests from each school facility. She said that positive cases would be tracked cumulatively, and that both rapid tests and PCR test results would be included. In the case of a positive test, she said, the particular school community would be notified with more specific information – if a whole classroom had to be quarantined, for instance. And contract tracing would be accomplished with assistance from the health department. The complete presentation on reopening can be found on the schools’ website.

Biographical highlights

5th Congressional District Republican candidate Bob Good is a former Liberty University associate athletics director and was the chief fundraiser for the university’s athletic program. He worked at the university from 2005 until 2020, when he resigned to focus full-time on his congressional campaign. Prior to working for Liberty University, Good worked for Citigroup for 15 years, primarily in the bank’s lending division. He started his career as a bank branch manager in Virginia Beach before moving to Wilmington, Delaware to become a training director, and then to Atlanta, Georgia where he served as a district manager for the bank. Good grew up in north New Jersey, the second of four siblings. His family moved to Lynchburg, Virginia when he was 9 years old, when his father decided to attend Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary. Good attended Liberty Christian Academy as a teen where he joined the school’s wrestling team, ultimately going on to win a state wrestling championship. His athletic skill led to a partial scholarship at Liberty University where he graduated with a finance degree in 1988 and later a master's in business administration. Good married his now-wife, Tracey Good, shortly after graduating from Liberty University. They have three children.

Congressional candidate Bob Good corrects the record after reporting no financial assets Staff Reports Fifth District Republican Congressional candidate Bob Good has submitted a new financial disclosure report to the U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Clerk reflecting financial assets worth up to $1.6 million after initially reporting no assets and no unearned income. Good’s new financial report included nine additional pages of financial assets not disclosed

in the initial filing. It includes retirement savings plans and IRA investments. Good said on Monday that the campaign “may have made a mistake” in their financial disclosure. “We became aware that we may have made a mistake on it. And so, we’re in the process of correcting that,” Good said on Monday. Congressional candidates are required by law under the Ethics and Government Act to disclose their personal finances. Good’s initial

“We became aware that we may have made a mistake on it. And so, we’re in the process of correcting that.”

reporting listed no assets under Schedule A of the disclosure report, which includes assets and “unearned” income. Good, 55, is a former associate athletics director at Liberty University and a former Campbell County Supervisor. Good is facing Democratic candidate Cameron Webb in the 5th District race.

Bob Good campaigns against ‘radical socialist agenda’ 5TH DISTRICT, from page 4 Good said that Webb and the Democrats want to enact a “radical socialist agenda,” and told guests at the Nelson County rally that the Democratic Party wants to “disarm people” and “move us to a socialist-Marxist country.” Webb responded in a statement by saying that he is “a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.” “I don't believe any law-abiding gun owner should have to worry about their right to keep and bear arms. The best way to protect those rights is by keeping guns out of the hands of those who would harm themselves or others,” Webb said. Webb has been endorsed by the gun control advocacy organization Giffords. In their endorsement, the organization wrote that Webb supports passing universal background checks, closing loopholes that allow convicted stalkers and domestic abusers to access guns, funding gun violence research and enacting “extreme risk” laws. Good has also accused Webb of wanting to “defund the police.” In an advertisement released by the Congressional Leadership Fund, a Republican super PAC, Webb is quoted from an interview with a Charlottesville TV station about his position on the issue. “So, those calls to defund the po-

“I think we need to stop illegal immigration and have a merit-based immigration policy that puts Americans and American workers first,”

BOB GOOD

lice, again, we need to use that language and we need to use it appropriately because those calls to defund the police, that’s not coming from nowhere,” Webb says in the ad. “That’s coming from a deeply rooted sense that hey, all of this extra spending on police is actually part of the problem on policing and over-policing.” Webb said in a statement, however, that he does not support “defunding the police” and wants to ensure “police have the resources they need to do their jobs effectively.” Webb said he is also in favor of raising officer salaries and investing in training and mental health resources for officers. “I do not support defunding the police. My father worked in law enforcement at the [U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency] for nearly 20 years, so I have a deep understanding of the importance of law enforcement and support for their critical work in keeping our communities safe,” Webb said. Good also attacked Webb for his

support for abortion rights and said that Webb wants “no restrictions on abortion at all up until the moment of birth,” and “even beyond.” Webb responded by saying that Good was “creating a false framework for this discussion.” Webb added that, “As a Christian, I know that this is a deeply personal, emotional and nuanced issue.” “No politician should dictate the decisions a person can make with their own body. I believe that those are decisions best made between a woman, her doctor and her faith,” Webb said. Good has also pushed back against Webb’s appeals to bipartisanship in the 5th District. Good said in a re-

cent interview that his opponent's effort to appeal to Republican and independent voters in the district is “talking without saying anything.” “It’s a mirage,” Good said. And while Good said there may be some room for agreement between Democrats and Republicans on issues like infrastructure and broadband expansion, compromise on issues like law enforcement spending and gun policy was a non-starter. “When the Democrat Party has been taken over and has gone so hard to the radical socialist left, I don’t want to go halfway there with them,” Good said. “That’s our republic. You try to elect people who believe what you do, and if you’re in the minority, then you’re the loyal opposition.” Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

GoFundMe campaign assisting popular sixth-generation Markham farm STRIBLING, from page 1 fruit and picnicked at the pastoral setting. The farm produces pick-your-own peaches and apples with 35 of the acres devoted to apple growing. A bakery, honey, jams and jellies round out the offerings. Today, Robert Stribling VI, or Rob, and his wife Stacia, both 47, carry the legacy forward. But the cost of the operation has been overwhelming in this "year of disbelief.” There is not sufficient revenue to make it a full-time endeavor. Rob Stribling is a network engineer for Northup Grumman, and Stacia Stribling is an assistant professor at George Mason University. The couple and their two children live on the farm. Three catastrophes conspired in 2020 to highlight how the delicate balance between profit and loss can shift suddenly. First, COVID-19 struck, then a killing frost devastated the orchard. Finally, a major fire destroyed a large barn and other buildings, housing all the signage, tools and machinery needed to operate the business. Practicing sustainable agriculture is a challenge but has been achievable for the Striblings. But running a sustainable business given such repeated blows is not. The farm was compelled to close for the entire year. While the picking season runs from July to November, operating expenses of up to $15,000 a month continue year-round, with or without paying customers. The farm’s projected losses could total more than $200,000 until a robust revenue stream returns.

Hitting brick walls

The pandemic was the first chapter in this Book of Job tale. While everything in the economy went into a swoon in March, the farm wouldn’t even be open for business until summer, so no loss of rev-

With people eager to escape the lockdown, it was hoped that a successful season could be achieved. “We probably had the best spring we’ve ever had,” said Stacia Stribling. “The trees were gorgeous. We had an amazing bloom, and the tiny apples were starting to grow. Then the frost hit.” Perhaps a farmer's greatest fear is frost. In one chilling night, an entire harvest can vanish. And the timing of the natural disaster is brutally exquisite. Just as earth's solar energy surges with warmth necessary for rebirth, a layer of cold air silently descends, killing the emerging life. “We lost about 98% of our fruit,” said Stacia Stribling. “With our incomes, we knew we'd be OK as a family. The question was whether the business could survive.” One option was opening the farm for picnicking. “People were crying for places to be out and about. They were tired of quarantining and being stuck in the city. So, we started planning how we could stake out an acre per family and offer up to

a hundred sites for picnicking. We planned to offer honey, jams, jellies and baked bread.” Selling wine produced by nearby Naked Mountain Winery was also considered. Then the news broke that the couple’s two young children were not going back to school. Managing reservations related to picnic sites would be difficult “because, in addition to teaching two graduate courses at George Mason, I would now be teaching a first-grader and third-grader at home," said Stacia Stribling. Two varieties of apple trees survived the frost: Rome and York. So, the couple shifted to yet another idea: open the orchard for one weekend in October and sell what small number of apples had survived the frost. Fall weekends typically see thousands of people come out to the orchard. “Once the plan was in place and we were ready to go with it, we had an electrical barn fire in September.” The 70-year-old barn housed all the orchard supplies and equipment, including signage, picking poles, bags, three donkeys and two pregnant goats. All the animals were rescued. A nearby small storage shed and separate workshop also went up in flames. “As the structures burned down, we crumbled into a ball on the ground and cried," remembered Stacia Stribling. Insurance covered the cost of the destroyed structures and their contents but left the family with zero options for covering operating costs until almost a year into the future -- assuming all went well in 2021. The Striblings are working now with their cousin Jim Stribling, who raises cattle on the farm. “He approached us about selling a quarter, half and whole cows this year.

Supervisors award construction contract for Marshall Main Street project By Coy Ferrell

Times Staff Writer

The Marshall Main Street improvement project will move forward after county supervisors voted four to zero Oct. 8 to grant a $4.4 million construction contract to Shirley Contracting Company, which is based in Lorton. The project will affect Marshall’s Main Street from just west of Frost Avenue to just east of Winchester Road. Overhead utility lines within that area will be moved underground, the sidewalks will be renovated and expanded and trees, benches and street lighting will be added. A pre-construction meeting will be held soon among representatives of county government, Shirley Contracting and state agencies to discuss the details of the project before construction commences, according to Deputy County Administrator Erin Kozanecki, who is also the county’s lead staff member for the Marshall project. The timing of the start of construction will largely depend on how quickly the Virginia Department of Transportation processes the necessary permits. The approved budget for the project is $6.2 million but the it will most likely cost $6.9 million to complete once all engineering, construction

Mary Elizabeth Wilkerson, secretary of the Marshall Business and Residents Association, urges supervisors to halt the Marshall Main Street improvement project at an Oct. 8 meeting of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. and other costs are accounted for, according to the resolution awarding the contract. Kozanecki told supervisors the expected additional costs are related to utility work that will not take place until the later phases of construction, giving supervisors time to allocate more funding. Board Chair Mary Leigh McDaniel (Marshall District), who made advancing the Main Street project a center point of her election campaign, referenced the future Blevins and Carter’s Crossing developments as potential sources of extra funding through real estate taxes, which

She said she would also be open to expanding the geographic size of the tax district and soliciting private donations. Funding to this point has come from several sources: $3.61 million from state and federal funds; $910,000 from donations and $583,000 from proffers funded in advance by the county’s capital reserve. An additional $1.19 million comes from local matching funds, including $545,413 from the county’s capital reserves and $643,272 funded up-front from reserve funds and will be paid back via an increase in the Marshall special lighting dis-

trict tax. The tax increase will go into effect the year after construction commences and will change the tax rate from $0.005 to $0.025 per $100 of assessed real estate value for 10 years; the tax increase was passed by the board of supervisors in 2013. Led by Marshall Business and Residents Association President Mary Wilkerson and her daughter, MBRA Secretary Mary-Elizabeth Wilkerson, a group of Marshall residents and business owners have maintained a vocal opposition campaign in recent years. Their objections became a regular feature of citizens’ time during board meetings, and 20 people spoke before the Oct. 8 vote to urge supervisors to halt the project entirely. Opponents of the project have cited repeatedly the increased tax rate and the effect on businesses during the construction phase. They also claim the project is preventing VDOT from performing routine maintenance on sidewalks and roads in the town. Additionally, they said, the project will make Main Street less safe because the total width of the street will be reduced from 40 feet to 38 feet. Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@ fauquier.com

21-year-old Derek De La Iglesia killed in Oct. 6 shooting

tective Michael Gemmell at 540347-1107, ext. 245. Callers may remain anonymous. Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis described the scene last Tuesday, saying that police found â&#x20AC;&#x153;an unresponsive male with an apparent gunshot wound to the upper body.â&#x20AC;? The man was found in a car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a black Dodge Charger -- in the parking lot of an apartment building on Jackson Street. Kochis at the time said he could not provide any details about the victim. Children who were dropped off by buses at the end of the school day Tuesday were escorted through police tape by Warrenton officers as they returned home. Warrenton Police asked residents to shelter in place about 3 p.m. as they investigated the suspicious death on Jackson Street, near the Winchester Street intersection. Local schools were also under a shelter in place order until 3:55 p.m., when K-9 teams determined that the area was safe. As of press time on Tuesday afternoon, police had not filed any search warrants or criminal complaints, and no one had been charged in the crime.

The Oct. 6 shooting death on Jackson Street in Warrenton has been ruled a homicide by the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The victim was identified as Derek De La Iglesia, 21, said Warrenton Police Officer Chai Fuller. Iglesia lived in Marshall, according to police. He was a 2017 graduate of Liberty High School, where he played football. His Facebook page is still full of photos from his time as a Liberty Eagle. (See story, page 1.) The Warrenton Police Department is investigating the homicide with assistance from the Fauquier County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, the Virginia State Police, and the Fauquier County Commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office.

Kevin Lee Allen, 42, of Warrenton, was arrested for felony domestic assault on Oct. 7 and an emergency protective order was issued, said Lewis. At the time of his arrest, Allen was being held with no bond.

Four plead guilty in Jan. 8 murder of Fabian Sosa Four of six defendants in the shooting death of Fabian Sosa pleaded guilty in Fauquier County Circuit Court Thursday to charges of first-degree murder and conspiring to commit robbery. The homicide took place on Jan. 8 at a Jackson Street apartment complex in Warrenton. Two other men were found suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds after police were summoned to the apartment complex by neighbors who reported yelling and gunshots at 4 a.m. Alexander Golden, 19, of Detroit; Emily Michele Race, 20, of Warrenton; Jaden Staples, 19, of Woodstock, and Antonio Ogburn, 19, of Detroit, each entered into a plea agreement Oct. 8. By pleading guilty to the two charges, the commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney agreed not to prosecute Golden for two counts of aggravated malicious wounding, one count of robbery of a residence with a firearm and one count of attempted robbery with a firearm. Staples will avoid prosecution on two counts of aggravated malicious wounding, one count of robbery of a residence with a firearm and one count of attempted robbery with a firearm. With his two guilty pleas, Ogburn will now avoid facing charges for

robbery of a residence with a firearm, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and two charges of aggravated malicious wounding. Sentencing for Golden will take place on Feb. 2 at 10 a.m. His attorney, Marc Williams, said he was going to arrange for a psychological evaluation of his client before sentencing. Race will appear in Fauquier Circuit Court for sentencing on Feb. 2 at 1 p.m. The sentencing hearing for Staples will take place Feb. 16 at 10 a.m. Ogburn is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 16 at 1 p.m. Sentencing guidelines for the murder charge require 20 years to life in prison; the conspiracy to commit robbery charge guidelines indicate a sentence of one to 10 years in prison, or up to 12 months in prison and/or a $2,500 fine, depending on the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion. There were also two defendants who were connected to the crime after the fact. Terrell Tucker, of Woodstock, is charged as an accessory after a homicide; he is scheduled to appear in General District court Dec. 9 for a preliminary hearing. Makoya Denham, of Oak Park, Michigan, has been charged as an accessory after a homicide.

Father, childhood friend remember the life of Derek De La Iglesia DE LA IGLESIA, from page 1 him. I was there until almost 10 p.m. That was the last time I saw my son.” Since Derek was 8 years old, Salvador De La Iglesia has been a single father to his four children. (Derek had two sisters and one brother.) The family moved to Bealeton in 2010, and Derek attended Cedar Lee Middle School before moving on to Liberty High. Derek was especially close with his younger sister, Giselle, who is now a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. “He was my best friend, you know?” she said. “He was a big bear with a big heart,” said Salvador De La Iglesia. Derek loved football. “His passion was always football, always. He was in flag football when he was 7 or 8 years old,” Salvador De La Iglesia said. After Derek graduated from Liberty, he received a partial scholarship to play football for Independence Community College in Kansas. Derek played at Independence for one season, his father said, but he struggled to keep his grades up. He came home to take classes at Lord Fairfax Community College, hoping to improve his grades enough to retain his scholarship and continue playing football, but he eventually dropped out of school.

Setting the record straight on historic economic successes The Republicans say that in the future (always in the future) the Democrats will destroy the economy. However, in the past, it’s been just the opposite. In the last 50 years, every Republican presidency has experienced economic upheaval ranging from serious to catastrophic. The two Democratic administrations of the period were marked by economic stability and expansion. One administration gave us the largest economic expansion in history, the other, the longest sustained economic growth in history. Trump's claim of achieving record unemployment is a little like someone who was born on third base claiming he hit a home run. During the preceding eight years under President Obama, unemployment fell by about 5.5%, or about

2.75% per term. In Trump’s term it fell by about 15 until COVID. So, yay! He maintained the trend, sort of. We now know that Trump was aware of the seriousness of the threat the coronavirus presented early on, but he was publicly stating that the direness of the situation was a Democratic “hoax.” He did little to contain the spread. His inaction lead to both economic and health crises. Unemployment is now 7.9%, and we have now passed 200,000 dead from COVID. To put the latter in numbers the Republicans can better understand, that’s more than 50,000 Benghazis. The Republicans call social programs “free stuff” that can only lead to dependence and degeneracy. They cite failures by third-world

authoritarians and communist thug-ocracies as proof, but the analogy is false. Virtually all the industrialized nations with stable democracies and market economies have provided health and other beneficial social programs for decades without deleterious effect. The Democrats recognize these programs as investments that pay off. After World War II, the federal government paid for free college and job training for millions of young Americans. Far from being a socialist disaster, it produced the skilled work force that stoked the technical revolution of the last half of the 20th century. Similarly, subsidized health care for workers who don’t make enough to pay for it assures a healthy, stable and more productive work force.

Looking deeper at President Donald Trump’s record In his Oct. 7 letter, Aubrey Smith (Fauquier Times, “NY Times lists president’s accomplishments”) summarizes a few snippets from a NY Times article on Donald Trump’s accomplishments thus far. While some are true, others are misleading or have been eliminated as a result of the ongoing pandemic. Crude oil production, DOJ dismantling the dark net site (BackPage), an improving economy and job growth were all in progress before Trump took office. What else can we credit President Trump with? NPR calls his presidency “The most corrupt in history.” Donald Trump promised to drain the Washington swamp and instead has surrounded himself with family members, appointees and advisers who’ve been accused of conflicts of interest, misuse of public funds,

influence peddling, self-enrichment, working for foreign governments, failure to disclose information and violating ethics rules. Some are under investigation or facing lawsuits, others have resigned and six have either been convicted or pled guilty, including three for lying to government officials. What about job growth? According to Forbes, Obama created 1.6 million more jobs than Trump did over a three-year period. On average, Obama created 43,000 more jobs per month than Trump. This is remarkable when you consider that Obama started his presidency amidst the Great Recession and Trump inherited a stabilized and improving economy. Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: the coronavirus pandemic. Smith never really focuses on this while he is touting Trump’s

The Republicans say the Democrats will take away our guns (in the future of course). In the past, the Obama administration passed all of two gun laws. Both lifted restrictions on the carrying of weapons by law abiding citizens; restrictions by the way, that had been put in place by Republican presidents. The Democrats only want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. The Republicans say study is needed to understand how to do this, but a Republican congress effectively made it illegal for the CDC to study gun-related deaths. By its past actions, the Republican Party demonstrates a preference for keeping the gun issue alive over keeping people alive. KEITH SELBO Warrenton

alleged accomplishments. Why? Because Donald Trump blew his own claim on economic and job gains, by his self-serving and deadly decision to first ignore and then downplay the pandemic. He is responsible for the level of suffering and death we are now reckoning with. The U.S. currently has over 214,000 deaths, with an average of 1,000 deaths per day. 7.6 million are infected. He is still mismanaging pandemic mitigation. Finally, the very same news publication Smith quotes has endorsed Joe Biden for president. Their reason is a fitting conclusion for this letter, "Mr. Biden has ... vowed to 'restore the soul of America.' It is a painful reminder that the country is weaker, angrier, less hopeful and more divided than it was four years ago. With this promise, Mr. Biden is assuring the public that he recognizes the magnitude of what the next president is being called upon to do.”

KATHY KADILAK The Plains

Writer urges voters to vote Republican to preserve democracy and constitution Preserving the great experiment of the United States is the most critical decision factor in the 2020 elections. The individual rights we enjoy are envied by freedom-loving individuals worldwide, but these rights are threatened. Democrats have been attacking our two-party system since their investigation of the opposing party's presidential candidate during the 2016 election, based on false information paid for by the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign. These false claims of Trump-Russia collusion during the 2016 presidential election campaign have now been disproven by four separate investigations. These false claims were also used as a basis to abandon the national history of peaceful transfer of power to a newly elected president. Instead, the democrats denounced the election results, called for resistance to the new administration by government employees and average citizens, and their imbedded partisans continued a baseless investigation of the newly elected president for two and a half years. In 2018, when a constitutional conservative judge was nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court,

the Democrats went crazy at the thought of approving a Supreme Court Justice committed to following the Constitution and laws as written. The outlandish behavior of Democrat senators and supporters in their attempt to prevent consent of this appointment, flew in the face of tradition and significantly heightened the sense of conflict and division in the nation. Disappointed with the findings of multiple investigations and Supreme Court appointments, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives ignored the constitutional criteria for presidential impeachment, and in 2019 voted to impeach the president based on unfounded allegations. With no due process for the president in the House of Representatives inquiry or factual grounds for impeachment, the Democrats rushed to conduct political theater in an effort to disrupt the constitutional foundation of our nation. Now in late 2020, another constitutional conservative judge is nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Democrats seem panicked over another Supreme Court Justice, committed to following the constitution and laws as written, being

consented to by the Senate. Democrat politicians openly discuss ending the American experiment by creating a one-party state under their control. They seek to achieve this by packing the Supreme Court with activist liberal judges to change the meaning of the constitution and existing laws to support liberal agendas. They discuss packing the Senate and House by turning territories and the District of Columbia into states with reliably liberal and progressive elected politicians, effectively eliminating the two-party system. They want to eliminate the electoral college to establish mob rule by a few high-population areas over the

entire nation. The Democrat leader in the Senate has clearly stated that "nothing is off the table" if the Democrats win the presidency, Senate and House. The Democrat presidential and vice-presidential nominees refuse to state their views on packing the Supreme Court, or other democrat party expressed intentions, because their answer would become "the headline."

Consider deeds, not words, when voting for president By Tim Hoffman In my 30-year Army career, those who impressed me most clearly stated their objectives and then successfully accomplished them. In the military, this is known as “walking the talk.” Equally important was how well these leaders achieved their goals. It seems to me that these considerations are equally applicable to politicians, especially those who aspire to be president. President [Donald] Trump’s record is clear; he does what he says he is going to do, and he has achieved unprecedented success on multiple fronts. Here are but a few of his accomplishments: • Built the most robust economy in generations by implementing business and personal tax cuts that resulted in unparalleled job growth and record low unemployment. • Slashed government regulations strangling the economy, which unleashed innovation and entrepreneurship, returned manufacturers to the U.S., and improved profitability of U.S. companies. • Achieved energy independence – making America the world’s leading energy producer – and enabled energy producers to innovate in ways that significantly reduce carbon emissions. • Confronted China’s trade abuses and re-negotiated trade deals with Japan, South Korea, Mexico

and Canada, which are delivering fair and reciprocal trade. • Has vastly improved conditions in the Middle East by overturning the Iran deal; defeating ISIS; brokering the Abraham Accords peace deal between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain; and solidifying our relationship with Israel by moving our embassy to Jerusalem. • Made major investments in our defense capabilities and sponsored the largest military pay raise in a decade. These actions will greatly improve the U.S.’s defense posture versus countries that threaten the U.S.’s national interests – such as China, Iran, and Russia. • Built or rebuilt 400 miles of border wall, curbed illegal immigration, and challenged Democrats to reform laws that incentivize illegal immigration. • Nominated and confirmed more conservative judges, including Justices [Neil] Gorsuch and [Brett] Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, than any other first-term president. Judge Barrett promises to be his third justice, which will give judicial “originalists” the decisive vote. • Eliminated the Obamacare individual mandate, enabling the Supreme Court to strike down the Affordable Care Act – which is neither affordable nor provides an improvement in medical care.

Our democracy is at stake

• Tackled neglected issues such as human trafficking and criminal justice system reform, both of which are important to minority communities. • Has fought hard to prevent the erosion of our basic rights under the First, Second and Fourth Amendments. Many people I’ve had conversations with over the past few weeks tell me that they won’t vote for him because he has “an unpleasant personality,” is “confrontational,” or “tweets too much.” To them, I ask, “Who would you rather have as president, Donald Trump, a man who does what he says he will do or Joe Biden, who fails to state his policy goals unequivocally, routinely reverses himself on previous positions, or arrogantly tells us, ‘You don’t have the right to know my position before I’m elected.’?” My vote is for President Trump – and for “deeds, not words.” About the author: Col. Tim Hoffman (U.S. Army, Retired) is a West Point graduate, a career Army officer who served in command and staff positions at all levels in the Army and an Iraq veteran. After retiring he served in the Bush and Obama administrations as a senior executive in the civil service. During his service in OSD, he had responsibility for a variety of policy portfolios in the strategy, operational planning, and security cooperation realms.

Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters can disagree on economic policies and environmental regulations, on immigration policy and health care, and on social justice and police reform. But Americans of every political stripe are united by our belief in democracy, where each one of us has a meaningful vote. So when our president casts doubt on the legitimacy of our votes by claiming that he can lose the coming election only if the system is rigged or by claiming without evidence that mail-in voting is fraudulent, and when he attempts to intimidate opposing voters by encouraging his supporters to monitor polling places, all Americans who believe in democracy need to stand up. In an era of misinformation and conspiracy theories proliferating in social media, we can sometimes wonder what to believe, but confusion is no excuse for giving up on our fundamental rights. We can discuss these issues with open minds so that we have a better understanding of what is needed to ensure free and fair elections. And we can reach out to our elected representatives to encourage widely publicized, nonpartisan action that leaves us confident that we will not face intimidation at polling places and that our legally cast votes will count. The Constitution gives Virginia responsibility for ensuring free and fair elections, so ask your state representatives what they will do between now and Election Day to make us confident in our democracy.

ICE DANCING’S NEXT BREAKOUT COUPLE? Warrenton’s Molly Cesanek and Yehor Yehorov to display their fancy footwork in national spotlight By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

In just two weeks, a dream will come true for two Warrenton residents: They will hit the ice in Las Vegas to compete alongside the nation’s top athletes in their sport, figure skating’s discipline of ice dancing. Molly Cesanek is a sophomore at American University. Yehor Yehorov is a 21-year-old Ukrainian working to get his U.S. citizenship. A successful team on the junior circuit since 2018, Cesanek, 19, and Yehorov are making their senior level debut at the 2020 Skate America, a Grand Prix of Figure Skating event Oct. 23-25. “We just feel honored to be selected by U.S. Figure Skating and to compete in our first Grand Prix. It’s such a unique year and we’re excited to do our routine. Right now, we are just really excited,” said Cesanek, a 2019 graduate of Wakefield School who was born in Manassas but has lived her entire life in Warrenton. Said Yehorov: “At the senior level now we’ll be competing with our role models. These are people we have been looking at all our lives. Now, at this moment and this level, we will be competing with them.” Drawing from ballroom and other types of dance, ice dancing is always done with partners. There are no jumps. Competitors are judged more on the program elements of lifts, spins, twizzles, footwork and on performance, composition and interpretation.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Warrenton’s Molly Cesanek, 19, and Yehor Yehorov, 21, hope to emerge as one of America’s top ice dancing teams. They’re moving from the junior to senior level this year, making them Olympic hopefuls. “We want to represent the U.S. in multiple Olympic games,” said Cesanek, who has lived in Warrenton all her life. U.S. Figure Skating, the sport’s governing body, selected them to the Skate America event as well as the 2021 Toyota U.S. Figure Skating Championships in San Jose from Jan. 11-21. Both will be nationally televised. Their lives are abuzz with excitement. They have picked up sponsorships from both blade and shoe companies in Italy, and are working closely with U.S. Figure Skating officials. “There is an overwhelming amount going on when you move to senior. Nutritionists are calling them, and doctors and people from U.S. Figure Skating,” said Marci Cesanek, Molly’s mom.

County approves indoor workouts at FHS, LHS, KRHS By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

After previously banning indoor athletic facilities, Fauquier County’s school system’s central office is allowing interior sports workouts at the county’s three high schools. “We told (the central office) we need to get people in the building now, so we can start monitoring and see how it goes,” said Fauquier High activities director Mark Ott, who noted schools are opening for limited indoor classes on Nov. 9 with winter sports practices commencing Dec. 7. He pointed out the schools are hosting ACT, SAT and PSAT testing. Classes such as auto body are taking place in schools, and the libraries are in use daily, “but our athletes can’t come in, so we started complaining because the athletes are the only ones getting screened.” Added Ott, “The other people just walk into the building,” while athletes have a temperature check and are screened for any possible

COVID-19 symptoms. Still, the athletes and coaches do not have carte blanche, Kettle Run AD Paul Frye stressed. He said the limit still stands at 10 people per gym including coaches, but the ceiling rises significantly next Monday to 30. “Five per basket. Nothing live. No defense, but you can do drills, dummy offense and things like that,” said Frye. Wrestling also has a limited green light. The team must bring mats out of its practice area into a gymnasium to ensure distancing and better air circulation. “It’s just individual drilling. No body contact or live wrestling yet,” Frye said. All winter teams may return to full workouts Nov. 19. As expected, coaches welcome loosening the restrictions. “It was great and surreal at the same time,” Liberty boys basketball coach Pat Frazer said. “To think that we haven’t been in the gym in seven months is just so weird. But we are thrilled to be back in.”

After training at Rockville Ice Arena in Maryland for their first two years together under coaches from the Wheaton Ice Skating Academy (WISA), they switched to Ion International Training Center in Leesburg. Their WISA coaches still coach them there. The Leesburg rink re-opened in June, ahead of rinks in Maryland, and it’s also closer. The two leave Cesanek’s home for the Leesburg rink at 8 a.m. most days and generally stay until 4 p.m. They rehearse, lift weights and teach classes, although Yehorov has to do it as a volunteer since he does not have a work visa. Cesanek takes her American University classes online at home, often in the afternoon. Despite his move, Yehorov has gone home to the Ukraine a couple times a year to take some required academic exams for his own schooling. He was abroad when the pandemic hit and barely made it back from Europe before air travel shut down, arriving on March 14. The two linked up in April 2018 when each sought a new partner at an important stage of their careers. Yehorov came over from the Ukraine for a one-month trial, and each was so impressed, that Yehorov went home, packed his things, and moved to the United States. “We had an instant connection,” said Cesanek. Yehorov said he liked that Cesanek was “gentle” and easy to maneuver. “I never had that small a partner. I liked it. It was a good opportunity to create a lot of lifts,” he said. He also praised her technique. “How she pointed her toe, how soft her arm movements were. She had taken ballet.” Molly liked that Yehor was so strong. “I felt like I would be taken care of,” she said. “Although we would be flying at a crazy speed, I felt confident and secure.” They won the junior title in February at the 2020 Enga Dance Trophy

Meet Molly Cesanek and Yehor Yehorov

Event: Ice dancing. Hometown: Both live in Warrenton. Molly is a 2019 graduate of Wakefield School. Yehorov came to the U.S. from Kiev, Ukraine. How do you say their names? Yehor Yehorov is pronounced YaGor Ya-gor-ov. Molly’s last name Cesanek is pronounced Sesnick. Next competition: Oct. 23-25 at Skate America Grand Prix, Las Vegas. It’s being broadcast on NBC’s Peacock network. Tale of the tape: Molly is 5-foot-2, Yehor is 6-feet even. Future goals: To compete in several Olympics, with 2026 the most realistic. Official instagram account: @mollycesanek_yegoryegorov tournament in Italy, and were fourth in January at the 2020 U.S. Junior Figure Skating National Championships in Greensboro, N.C. When Yehorov moved here, he spoke very little English, but that has changed dramatically. He now lives with Cesanek’s family and is thriving. “I’m really enjoying all my time with Molly. To share with her all my experiences, coming here and training. We’ve become the best of best friends. I never met a girl so driven, responsible and dedicated to the sport,” he said. She is equally pleased, calling Yehor the leader in their partnership. “His strength is matched by amazing artistry,” she said. With their senior debut less than two weeks away, they feel ready. They’ll do a short program, called the rhythmic dance portion, and a four-minute free dance routine performed to the songs “Make It Rain” and “Take Me To Church” by Matt McAndrew. It’s a blues-style contemporary dance, Yehorov said.. A solid debut could have them on the road to stardom. “Making it here was a goal, a huge goal,” said Cesanek. “What’s even bigger is that we have Olympic dreams. We want to go very far and be one of the top teams in ice dance.”

Howard D. “Don” Rant, Jr. Howard D. “Don” Rant, Jr. passed away on Friday September 25, 2020 in Fairfax, Virginia at the age of 77. Don was born May 3, 1943 in San Antonio, Texas to Colonel Howard D. Rant, Sr. and Marie Pickens Rant into a family that would grow to include two sisters and one brother. As with most military families, they relocated several times, but Don spent his early childhood in San Antonio, Texas until the Air Force gave orders to move to Nagoya and then on to Tokyo, Japan in 1957. Returning to the United States in 1960, the family put down roots in Springfield, Virginia where Don graduated from Annandale High School that same year. Upon graduation, he attended George Mason University and then spent six years serving in the United States Air Force. His thirty-year professional career was spent working for the Central Intelligence Agency where he retired in 1998 as a Logistics Officer. For those who knew Don, you could depend on fact filled discussions on several topics that he had taken a keen interest in exploring. An avid reader with a sharp intellect, his love for both the Civil War and World War II led to conversations around his other interests of military aircraft and vintage guns. A collector of sorts, his knowledge of the finer points of guns of any make, model or country of origin would weave its way into more conversations than you would have expected. Classic cars were another of Don’s passionate interests and a spirited debate would often ensue when discussing the best engines, transmissions or body styles of the times. Although not particularly handy, his collection of tools would have suggested otherwise. Reminiscing about his childhood adventures in Japan or the state of Texas always led to great storytelling and maybe even a strong opinion or two. He was particularly fond of Port Aransas, Texas where he and his family had vacationed when he was a child and where he and his wife of 50 years Becky Lucas Rant had continued that tradition until his passing. Don was preceded in death by his parents Howard and Marie Rant and his sisters Patricia Ann Rant and Mariana N. Kiesel. He’s survived by his wife Becky of Warrenton, Virginia, his daughter Amy Rant Miller, son in law Mike and granddaughters Isabella, Olivia and Sydney Miller of Leesburg, Virginia, as well as his younger brother James Edward Rant of San Antonio, Texas. He is also survived by a cousin, Deanna McCollum, Houston, TX and a nephew, Jeremy Kiesel and niece, Jennifer Kiesel both of San Antonio, TX. The family asks that in lieu of flowers that any donations that honor Don’s life be made to the Salvation Army of Warrenton P.O. Box 3474 Warrenton,Virginia 20188. A Memorial Gathering was Monday, October 5, 2020 from 4-5pm with a brief Memorial Service to follow at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, Virginia as well as a family memorial in Port Aransas, Texas at a later date. Online condolences can be made at: moserfuneralhome.com

Throughout her life Barbara was an active member in the community by volunteering at the Fauquier Hospital as a Gray Lady, Pink Lady and working in the gift shop. She also helped all those in need by running errands, supplying clothes and food. Barbara loved to travel throughout the United States seeing all the different landscapes that the country has to offer - from mountains to deserts. She also was an avid reader and enjoyed uplifting stories of family traditions. All of her life Barbara found guidance through the Bible and her years attending the Methodist and Baptist churches in Warrenton. She taught her family that there was no problem too large for the lord ... just believe and pray. She will be missed greatly by her family as well as the community. A private graveside service will be held at Warrenton Cemetery. Online condolences may be made at www.moserfuneralhome.com.

FLORAL MEANINGS For many people, flowers are just beautiful plants, but for those in the know, they can have very specific meanings tied to them. Therefore, it might be helpful to be aware of which flowers are suitable for funerals before sending them. White lilies represent hope and the beauty of the soul. White carnations signify purity while pink ones are symbols of remembrance. You may not think of roses as funeral flowers, but their variety of color and meaning are more widely known than most flowers. They are probably best reserved for the funerals of close loved ones. It isn’t necessary to limit tributes to flowers. Many potted plants, including hydrangeas and peace lilies, can provide lasting comfort to the bereaved.

OBITUARIES Ronald David Schmal

Places of Worship

Ronald David Schmal, 76, of Fairfax County, Virginia, passed away on September 22, 2020 in Brandywine Senior Living at Alexandria. Ron was born on May 19, 1944 in Ithaca N.Y. to Simon, a physician, and Grete (Schmidt), who fled Nazi Germany. He was a proud Cornellian ’66 who earned a Ph.D. from The George Washington University in 1974. He drew immense fulfillment from his career as a Clinical Psychologist at Rapahannock-Rapidan Community Services in Warrenton, Virginia for 45 years, retiring in August 2019 due to declining health. In his beloved Mantua neighborhood Ron was recognized for his warm laugh, jovial nature, and fondness for dogs—both his own unruly Schnoodle, Willie, as well as his neighbors’. He was a kind person, always loyal to the underdog: rescuing turtles on the road; collecting stamps from tiny Liechtenstein; enduring the heartbreaks of Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Browns fandom. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn; his children, Jesse (Becky), Robin, and Michael; his grandchildren, Caleb and Micah; and his brother Steven (Deb). In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Humane Society of Fairfax County, 4057 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, VA 22030, where Ron found joy volunteering in retirement.

Sharon Ann Maloney Sharon Ann Maloney, who worked tirelessly over her admirably selfless life to assure the care, feeding and frequent rescue of animals large and small, died at her Warrenton home Thursday, Oct. 1 after a graciously determined battle with cancer of the bile duct. She was 73. Ms. Maloney, known to her legion of friends and admirers affectionately as “Sam,” was a lifetime Fauquier County resident whose family owned the aptly named Dogpatch Farm on the Springs Road. Her late mother, Betty Maloney, was a co-founder and generous supporter of the Fauquier County SPCA which, for many years, was housed at the family farm. Sharon Maloney was immersed in the shelter and continued that compassionate tradition after the SPCA moved to larger quarters in Casanova in 1989. She was president of the SPCA at the time of her death, and had served on the board for many years. She was a hands-on volunteer, working many hours at the Casanova facility. She also helped raise funds and donated generously herself to make certain the SPCA could continue its work in rescuing abused animals, offering spaying and neutering services and operating a robust animal adoption program. For many years at the Upperville Horse and Colt Show, where she, her mother and her younger brother, Kevin, once competed, she operated a popular beer stand, with all proceeds going to the SPCA. Ms. Maloney grew up riding ponies on the farm, competing at local horse shows and showed her Craig’s Corner to a championship at the Devon Horse Show in 1968, winning against top professionals. She graduated from Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart in Bethesda and Marymount Junior College in Arlington. After college, she spent time at several California racetracks as a groom and exercise rider. She worked at the Del Mar track near San Diego for an apparently demanding trainer named Willard Proctor. One day, her brother Kevin recalled, after galloping one of his charges, the horse had a heart attack and died on the track. Proctor told the always fit and slim Ms. Maloney, “I told you that you were too heavy.” She returned to Virginia in her 20s to start her own business breaking and training yearlings. She later bred, owned, and trained racehorses such as Virginia Fats, Witch Wabbit and Kitty Katch. Her wry sense of humor was clearly evident when she named some fillies for Old West madams such as “Squirreltoothalice.” Ms. Maloney retired from the horse business in 2015, leaving only six also-retired Thoroughbreds left to roam the 54-acre farm’s wide-open paddocks. And then came the donkeys. “I knew I was getting out of horses and didn’t want the farm to be empty,” she once said. “My mother collected donkeys (figurines) and had a donkey hood ornament. We even have a room called the donkey room in my house. But we didn’t have any donkeys at the farm.” Over a span of three months that year, Ms. Maloney acquired 17 rescue donkeys, many the result of an animal cruelty case in Orange, Virginia. “There was this farm where 70 horses were confiscated,” she said. “A friend asked if I’d go down there with her. There were two donkeys and four mini horses. I took the two donkeys and brought them here. Because donkeys can survive on little to nothing, these guys were watching fellow horses starve to death and they survived.” Over the last five years, some of those original donkeys were adopted and replaced by other rescues, including four saved from a Texas kill pen. She used her own funds, also supplemented by generous donations from the Warrenton community. One local Mexican restaurant collected trash bags filled with uneaten corn chips for Ms. Maloney’s animals, and she continued to care for dozens of donkeys still on the farm. Sharon Ann Maloney was born on August 7, 1947 in Washington, D.C., the daughter of John Townsend and Betty Couzens Maloney. Her father was a highly-regarded Thoroughbred horse trainer in New York, as was his twin brother (her uncle), Jim Maloney, a Hall of Fame trainer himself. Her father predeceased her in 1955. Her grandfather, James Couzens, was a legendary mayor of Detroit and popular senator from Michigan perhaps best known as Henry Ford’s original partner and financial guru. In August for most of the last 40 years, she could be found at the iconic racetrack in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. She usually eschewed sitting in the fancy clubhouse boxes where waiters served fancy food and drink and patrons were often dressed in their Sunday best. Instead, she preferred watching the action from the backstretch or on a jumbo screen on the main floor not far from the paddock. She often wandered over to the backstretch rail and watched the races where trainers, grooms, exercise riders and hot-walkers congregated. She seemed to know them all. Ms. Maloney enjoyed hunting for and collecting antiques. She had simple tastes and never sought the spotlight. She was fiercely independent and was particularly passionate about politics, civil rights and countless social issues, occasionally participating in marches and demonstrations in the Nation’s Capital. During election season, the front entrance to Dogpatch was adorned with the names of her favored candidates, signs always bathed in blue. Only a few days before her death, she was particularly proud to have voted in the 2020 presidential election. She was also a colossal fan of Washington’s NFL football team. Ms. Maloney is survived by her two brothers, John T. “Chip” Maloney, Jr. and Kevin Maloney, both of Warrenton, nephews John Maloney and Derrick Maloney and their wives, Chanell and Beth, all of Warrenton and four great nephews and four great nieces. A celebration of the life of Sharon Maloney will take place at the Warrenton Horse Show grounds on October 31 from 1-3 p.m. The family asks that all attendees remain in or near their cars, distance themselves and wear masks/ Tailgating is encourage as we cannot provide food or drink. We look forward to seeing everyone there. Donations in her honor can be sent to the Fauquier SPCA, PO Box 733, Warrenton, Va. 20188. Arrangements by Moser Funeral Home Warrenton, VA.
