There was a strong police presence in the Walmart and Home Depot parking lots for several hours Tuesday night.
Two shot in Walmart parking lot Tuesday Staff Reports Two people were shot while sitting in a car in the Walmart parking lot in Warrenton about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday. The victims were able to drive to the nearby Home Depot and called 911. They were taken to Fauquier Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are in stable condition, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Police apprehended two suspects Tuesday night and were still searching for two others at press time.

Five men of the ‘Greatest Generation’ return to the air By John Toler
Associate Editor
If Aluminum Overcast was the star of the “Spirit of Aviation” celebration at the Manassas Regional Airport on Oct. 24 to 27, its co-stars were the five World War II U.S. Army aviators who were taken back 75 years in time aboard the restored B-17 Flying Fortress. The event was hosted by the National Capital chapter 186 of the Experimental Aircraft Association, which owns and operates the aircraft. On board the first flight was James C. “Jimmie D” Dieffenderfer, 99, a retired Air Force colonel who piloted B-17s during the war, and his insights added much to the historic narrative. A resident of Orlando, Florida, Dieffenderfer was accompanied on the flight by his son Scott, who videotaped the action. As with all “Spirit of Aviation” flights, passengers were given a safety briefing by Aluminum Overcast Crew Chief Tim Burgoine. He also gave a brief history of the aircraft and described a typical bombing mission in the European Theater during the war. Burgoine noted that bombing missions over Europe were generally made at 30,000 feet, exposing the crew to extreme cold during the eight- to 10-hour missions.
Then there were the attacks by German fighters and the intense anti-aircraft artillery fire from positions ringing the targets – before the long flight back to bases in England, often with severe damage and wounded crew on board. Burgoine pointed out that during the course of the war, one-third of the aircraft sent on missions didn’t make it back.
A warrior’s story
Dieffenderfer, a native of West Virginia, earned his private pilot’s license during his junior year, participating in VPI’s first Civilian Pilot Program. He noted that his training sessions at VPI only cost $15. Graduating in 1941 with a degree in electrical engineering, he entered the Army Air Corps, completing his military pilot training in March 1942. Dieffenderfer was first assigned to the 74th Bombardment Squadron in Panama, where he flew twin-engine B-18s. His next assignment was flying B-17s with the 63rd Bombardment Squadron, 43rd Bomber Group (H). He expected to be sent to Europe, but instead the 43rd was sent to the Southwest Pacific to fight the Japanese. During his first tour, then-Lt. Dieffenderfer flew 46 combat missions, attacking Japanese shipping and ground targets. “We flew below 10,000 feet, so it wasn’t that cold,”

Honored guests on flights of the B-17 Aluminum Overcast at the Manassas Regional Airport were five airmen who served in World War II. From left, B-24 top turret gunner Max Long, B-24 nose gunner James Eide, B-24 pilot George Anderson, B-17 pilot Jimmie Dieffenderfer and B-24 ball turret gunner Stuart Eynon. he recalled. “You couldn’t hit a ship from 30,000 feet.” Perfecting their tactics, bomber pilots would drop to 250 feet to attack Japanese ships, “skip bombing” across the water to get a direct hit. Flying this low, they depended on U.S. fighters to provide top cover. High-level bombing of Japanese-held islands was generally done between 17 to 18,000 feet. His tour of duty in the Pacific completed, Dieffenderfer returned to the U.S. in August 1943 and was reassigned as an instructor pilot at Gowen and Mountain Home airfields in Idaho, where he trained aircrews in B-24, B-29 and B-32 bombers. During the remainder of his 29year career in the U.S. Air Force, Dieffenderfer put his electrical en-
gineering background to work, holding positions developing aircraft and space systems. He was responsible for developing new materials at the laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio, and later as executive officer for the Deputy Chief of Research and Development at the Pentagon. He retired in 1970 as the vice commander of the Office of Aerospace Research in Washington, D.C., and had a second career working in the civilian electrical field. “As heroic the effort was at home, it was what happened overseas that mattered – the coming together to accomplish what had to be done. It was incredible,” said Burgoine. Addressing the WWII veterans, he concluded with a simple “Thank you.”

Correction
In last week’s story (Oct. 30), “All in the family … Warrenton Lions Club welcomes new members” it was reported that the Warrenton Sunrise Lions was dissolving. This is not true. The club is alive and well, but may consider a possible merger next year.

Eric Maybach will be the county’s commissioner of the revenue By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Eric Maybach won the election Tuesday for Fauquier County commissioner of the revenue over Angela Smith, taking a little more than 63 percent of the unofficial total vote. Maybach received 14,031 votes to 8,058 for Smith, with 56 write-in names, according to unofficial returns from the Virginia Department of Elections. The commissioner of revenue is the chief tax-assessing official in the county who maintains property tax and business tax records and provides tax revenue projections. Reached at a post-election celebration at the Black Horse Inn, Maybach said he was feeling “gratitude for the county and all the support I had. My family’s support and my wife’s support was absolutely amazing.” Maybach said he delivered “a well-received message” during his campaign. “I tried to run a clean campaign. This county respects that,” Maybach said. Maybach carried all 20 precincts in the county and won the absentee vote count. Maybach raised $33,306 for his campaign this
year. Smith raised $47,506 -- $45,000 was her own money. Maybach won endorsements from Del. Michael Webert and Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo, among others. Maybach cited his 14-year background in banking and financing. He works for a vehicle financing company. He noted his supervisory and mentoring of new staff, management of multi-million portfolios, setting budgets, providing growth projections and analyzing trends. Maybach beat an opponent for the Republican nomination in June with nearly 70 percent of the vote. Smith then entered the race as an independent. Both Maybach and Smith have deep family ties in Fauquier County. Smith is a realtor and former events and catering business owner. She formerly headed the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce. Smith called herself a “numbers nerd” rather than a politician. She cited her business experience and knowledge of accounting and finance. As commissioner of revenue, ”you want to make sure you are being fair and accurate,” she told the Fauquier Times earlier this year. I do think it’s important to have someone who has management and leader-

Galante said in a statement released Tuesday night that “while tonight’s result is not the outcome our supporters and volunteers desired, the focus of this campaign has always been about more than a singular outcome this Tuesday.” “Laura’s candidacy sought to address challenges common to families across rural Virginia and America,” said Sam Falconer, Galante’s campaign manager. “Laura campaigned the same way she would have represented the district — by listening first, engaging people of all political persuasions and finding consensus on the daily issues that matter to residents across Fauquier, Warren, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties.” Galante promised to “keep listening to all Virginians regardless of politics or background about how we build opportunity in rural areas.
The commonwealth has pressing challenges, and I plan to remain engaged in the important work of positioning our economy, our farms and our families for the future. “I wish Michael Webert well as a representative of the 18th District in the upcoming legislative session,” said Galante. “It is my fervent hope that he will work to address important workforce and infrastructure issues for the district’s working families.” Both Webert and Galante are Marshall residents. Webert manages a family farm in Marshall. Laura Galante was running as a first-time candidate. She has a farming background as a youngster in 4-H and now as an adult leader. Professionally, she works in the cybersecurity field and formed her own company after working for the federal government. Webert raised $235,777 this year for his campaign. Galante raised $292,983.
In the 88th District House of Delegates race, Republican incumbent Mark Cole beat Democrat Jessica Foster, taking 55 percent of the vote to Foster’s 44 percent, according to unofficial returns. Cole, in seeking his 10th term, cited his record fighting tax increases and wasteful government spending. He said he opposed unfunded mandates on local government by the state. The 88th District includes parts of Fauquier, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties, Remington and part of Fredericksburg. Foster, from Remington, is an attorney, wife and mother. She supported universal pre-kindergarten, reducing classroom sizes and increasing the student to staff and student to counselor ratios. She backed expansion of health care to more low-income Virginians and regulating prices for life-saving medicines. She said she was pro-choice. “I’m more of a take-action type of person. I’ll treat my constituents like they were clients,” she told the Fauquier Times last year after declaring her candidacy. Cole raised $81,088 for his candidacy this year through Oct. 24. Foster raised a hefty $104,699. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
Solid turnout throughout the county
County voters turned out for this off-year election in good numbers. Forty-six percent of registered voters went to the polls Tuesday – 23,477 people voted out of a possible 51,002. Turnout was 63 percent in 2018, 77 percent in 2016 and 44 percent in 2014. Alex Ables, registrar for Fauquier County, reported late Tuesday afternoon that turnout was good and that absentee ballot applications processed by his office tripled from the election four years ago. “In 2015 we processed 638 absentee applications. For this same election this year we processed 1,911 absentee applications,” he said. “This is a strong indicator that early no-excuse absentee voting in November 2020 for the presidential election is going to be massive.” Ables added that there were no serious problems at the precincts and that the new electronic pollbooks being used appear to have helped rapidly process voters.

Sen. Jill Vogel elected to another term in 27th District By James Ivancic
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/ROBIN EARL
Sen. Jill Vogel speaks with Vi Westlake outside the Warrenton Community Center Tuesday. Vogel, an attorney seeking her fourth four-year term, said during a campaign forum that she supports the use of medical marijuana and reducing penalties for recreational use, though not for decriminalization. She noted she introduced a cannabis oil bill. Vogel supported the expansion of Medicaid in Virginia. She said she has championed equality under the law, and her bill to ban child marriages passed. In the last legislative session Vogel introduced bills that would reform the Department of Elections and would allow associations to provide health
plans to individual members who otherwise have no access to affordable coverage. Those weren’t adopted and she said she intends to make them a priority in the next session. Ross said he supports expanding background checks before gun sales. He also supports waving a tax on the sale of gun safes that cost less than $1,000, to encourage people to use them. “I like to shoot,” Ross said during a campaign appearance, explaining he target shoots. But, he said, he’s tired of having to run his students through active shooter drills.

William McDuffie, who lives near Vint Hill and votes at Vint Hill precinct at C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary School, said he voted for Sloane because “she had come by the house” and talked with him about her candidacy. Betty West, the precinct chief at Ritchie School, said there had been “a nice steady flow of voters” Tuesday morning. By about 9:30 a.m., 506 people had voted. Norden called herself “A Teacher for Change.” She’s been a Fauquier teacher for 17 years. “I know what needs to be done to keep good teachers in Fauquier County. I know why they are leaving and know, firsthand, the struggles they face every day in the classroom,” she has said. Norden teaches journalism at Kettle Run High School.

Ross advocated expanding access to health care and making it more affordable, being a better steward of the planet, taking on big lobbies, better pay for teachers and funding for schools. William McDuffie, who lives near Vint Hill and votes at Vint Hill precinct at C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary School, said he voted for the Democrats on the ballot, including Ross for state senator and Elizabeth Guzman, who was running for a second term in the House of Delegates for the 31st District. Tim Briles, a Scott District resident voting at Ritchie School, said of Ross “I think he understands the role of teachers. I feel he and Guzman have better empathy for the people.” Vogel raised $471,267 for the campaign and Ross raised $340,789.
Litter-Reber raised $4,784 for her campaign. Mason reported no dollars raised or spent for this campaign.

Jill Vogel won re-election Tuesday as state senator for the 27th District, according to unofficial returns from the Virginia Department of Elections. Vogel couldn’t immediately be reached for comment, but Ross said at 9:15 p.m. that “I’ve already called Jill and conceded. One of the things we were talking about was that were we happy we ran positive campaigns. It shows you can work really hard but do it positively.” Ross, a teacher at Highland School in Warrenton, took on an incumbent in trying to win an office that covers Fauquier, Frederick and Clarke counties, the city of Winchester and parts of Loudoun, Stafford and Culpeper counties. “One of the things democracy demands is to give voters a choice,” Ross said of the challenge he faced. “I’m proud of the campaign I ran, proud of staff and volunteers. They gave everything they could,” he said. “There are other ways to give back to the community and I’ll be around,” Ross said. Vogel took nearly 64 percent of the vote to Ross’s 35 percent in Fauquier, according to the returns available. Overall, Vogel won 64 percent of the district-wide vote to Ross’s 35 percent. Ross sought support from those tired of politics as usual and what he termed the bitter partisan divide.

Cameras aim to catch school bus-passing drivers to improve student safety But prosecuting violators is still a challenge By Daniel Berti and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers
The Fauquier County School Division is, over time, equipping its bus fleet with exterior cameras as it buys new buses; it has 12 buses with cameras so far, said Chris Ryman, supervisor for bus operations for Fauquier County schools. Although more than 100 on-camera violations have been reported thus far, prosecuting violators is not easy. “Right now, if this pace continues for the full 180 days of the school year, we’re looking at more than 400 violations,” he said. The cameras are positioned at the rear of buses and pointed toward the front to capture the license plates of any cars that pass a stopped school bus when children are getting on or off the bus. Violations have been sent to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office for further investigation. Most occur on two-lane highways such as Va. 28, U.S. 29 and U.S. 17, Ryman said. Prosecuting the violations is a “lengthy” process, Ryman said. That was confirmed by Deputy Renee Hibbs, a school resource officer
charged with investigating them. Hibbs said each incident takes three to four hours from start to finish, which includes reviewing the video tape, looking up the vehicle’s owner and then serving the summons in person, a task that usually occurs after hours to catch alleged violators when they are home. When a summons is issued, the school bus driver and Ryman can be required to appear in court, which can take hours and sometimes requires the school division to find another driver to cover the involved bus driver’s route. That happened between 10 and 12 times last school year but has yet to occur this year, Ryman said.
New law in effect July 1
The laws regarding passing stopped school buses surfaced in the recent battle for the 31st District state delegate’s seat. Republican nominee D.J. Jordan criticized H.B. 1289, an unsuccessful bill that incumbent Del. Elizabeth Guzman and Del. Mike Webert, R-18th, co-patroned in 2018 that sought to streamline the process for citing school bus scofflaws by allowing school divisions to more easily

work with school-bus-camera contractors. But the measure would have also kept the infractions from being reported to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, which led to Jordan’s charge that the bill would reduce penalties for breaking the law. H.B. 2344, a bill sponsored by Del. Rob Bell, R-58th, of Charlottesville, passed the state General Assembly earlier this year and went into effect July 1. Bell’s law does not keep the citations from being reported to the DMV or prevent them from adding as many as four demerit points on a driver’s record, which is possible under Virginia law. Illegally passing a stopped school bus can be prosecuted in Virginia by a $250 civil fine or as a reckless driving charge, which is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $2,500, a suspended driver's license and up to 12 months in jail. Bell noted H.B. 1289 would have treated these kinds of school bus-related violations like the citations issued for red-light-camera violations, which can be mailed to vehicles’ owners without regard to exactly who was driving because they don’t result in demerit points. Bell’s law allows bus-camera contractors to access Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles records to obtain the names and addresses of vehicle owners based on license plates caught on tape, rather than involving law-enforcement. School bus-camera contractors offer school divisions free cameras – sometimes up to 13 on each bus – to catch and fine drivers who illegally pass buses when they are stopped (with their stop-arms extended) to allow children to get on and off. The agreements generally stipulate that the money from the fines go first to the contractors to pay for the equipment and then are split between the school division and the contractor. The bulk of the money – 60 or 70 percent -- goes to the contractor, according to Jean
Soulier, CEO of BusPatrol America, a Lorton-based contractor that works with school divisions in Richmond, Montgomery County, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Georgia. So far, Fauquier County schools are not taking advantage of the new law and are still processing stoparm violations without a third-party contractor. The school division once hoped to partner with a contractor to get free school bus cameras but put that idea on hold amid turmoil over the limitations of state law. Ryman said he hopes the school division might still consider partnering with a third-party contractor in the future. “In the systems [that do], a portion of the fine money goes back to the school system. In some counties, it’s paying for itself,” Ryman said. In the meantime, Ryman said the school division is also trying other strategies. It recently fitted five buses with bright-white, flashing strobe lights. Some buses also have longer stop arms that stretch well into the adjacent lane. If drivers pass the stopped bus, they hit the extended arm, which collapses when struck, so as not to damage vehicles; it gets drivers’ attention. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance in 2016 to allow the school division to work with a third-party contractor, but Board Chairman Chris Butler (Lee), a retired Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputy, said he’s not inclined to move ahead with that idea. Butler said he prefers prosecuting the violations as reckless driving charges, which carry a stronger penalty. “I support the reckless driving approach versus a civil penalty [where] judges can see prior convictions from repeat offenders. Ultimately, I support a separate moving violation code for passing a stopped bus and not only a large fine but also demerit points for convictions,” Butler said.

Snap out of it: Political ads appearing on Snapchat By Emma North
Capital News Service
A candidate for sheriff in a rural Virginia county tried to reach younger voters by advertising on a social media platform popular with their age group — Snapchat. William Stowell is an independent who ran for sheriff in Tuesday’s election in Botetourt County, nestled in the mountains in western Virginia. Stowell’s campaign ads on Snapchat feature policies he thinks will appeal especially to younger voters, particularly his views on tobacco laws. Stowell not only has an unusual media campaign plan but also is an unusual candidate. He is a convicted felon (for a third offense of driving under the influence) whose rights were restored in 2017 by then-Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Stowell said he began using Snapchat after issues with censorship on Instagram and Facebook. He has spent just $33 on Snapchat ads but has enjoyed a big return: about 511 impressions, or views, for every dollar spent. This election cycle, Stowell was the only candidate running Snapchat ads in Virginia. However, political organizations, advocacy groups and marketing firms are advertising on the platform, trying to inform and/or influence Virginia voters. According to the Snapchat Political Ads Library, such advertisements have received more than 7 million impressions in Virginia this year. According to the website, “Snapchat empowers self-expression, including about politics. But political advertising that appears on Snapchat has to be transparent, lawful and right for our users.” Snapchat’s policy is to review political ads on a case-by-case basis. The company said it would not allow “content that is misleading, deceptive, impersonates any person or entity, or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity.” “We encourage political advertisers to be positive. But we don’t categorically ban ‘attack’ ads; expressing disagreement with or campaigning against a candidate or party is generally permissible if it meets our other guidelines,” the policy states. “That said, political ads must not include attacks relating to a candidate’s personal life.” So far this year, Snapchat has carried about 1,200 political ads in the U.S., including 62 for Virginia political campaigns. Many of those campaigns started in September and closed immediately after the voter registration deadline on Oct. 15. Snapchat reported that more than
$30,000 was spent on political ads in Virginia in 2019. The largest spender is AcraMax Publishing Inc., which is based in Newport News and publishes news and feature stories online and in newsletters. AcraMax has spent almost $16,000 this year to share political ads on Snapchat. Other large political ad spenders include Targeted Victory LLC., ACRONYM, FP1 Strategies and Authentic Campaigns Inc. “ACRONYM is putting our money where our mouth is, literally, by being one of the only outside progressive groups advertising on Snapchat, and one of the only outside groups running digital ads supporting the impeachment inquiry,” said Tatenda Musapatike, senior director of campaigns for the organization, which was created after the 2016 presidential election. In Virginia, ACRONYM has launched a voter registration and mobilization program called People’s Power Grab. “To get young voters and voters of color registered and engaged in the run-up to the 2019 elections, People’s Power Grab is running Snapchat ads because they know that those two groups are spending a significant amount of their time on the platform,” Musapatike said. According to the Snapchat Political Ads Library, ACRONYM ads have received about 383,000 impressions so far this year. In terms of reaching an audience, Snapchat advertisements can range widely. AcraMax saw 275 impressions per dollar spent — but the Southern Environmental Law Center has done much better. The SELC spent $509 on Snapchat ads and had about 505 impressions for every dollar spent. Claudine Ebeid McElwain, the program communications manager for the SELC, said Snapchat is one of many channels the center uses to engage Virginians on environmental issues like offshore drilling and threats to clean water. The SELC ads ran during the late spring and early summer.

Political groups and candidates spent big on Facebook ads for Tuesday’s election By Hannah Eason
Capital News Service
It might be called the Facebook election. Many voters are “cutting the cord” from cable TV, and candidates and political organizations turned to Facebook to attract Virginia voters in Tuesday’s legislative and local elections. Between July 1 and Oct. 25, Facebook users in Virginia were bombarded with about $6 million in political advertising, according to the social media company. Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization that seeks to restrict access to firearms and curb gun violence, has spent the most — about $215,000 — on Facebook ads. The group, largely financed by New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg, announced Friday that it has spent $2.5 million in the Virginia election, including $770,000 in digital advertising. People’s Power Grab, which advocates for voter registration and mobilization, bought about $208,000 in advertising on Facebook. The Dogwood, a Virginia digital media outlet, was third at more than $170,000. Facebook is the most popular social media platform and can deliver ads targeted to users based on gen-
der, age and other demographics — at a cost much less than television. Washington State University professor Travis Ridout says Facebook’s ability to reach a majority of Americans makes it attractive to political campaigns. “Facebook also allows [a] campaign many different ways to target voters, making it an efficient way to reach desired audiences,” said Ridout, who teaches government and public policy. Judi Crenshaw, public relations instructor at Virginia Commonwealth University, says Facebook’s low cost and micro-targeting makes it appealing to campaigns with a limited staff and budget. “It’s very, very efficient because you actually don’t have to waste time and money on people who will already vote for your fcandidate,” Crenshaw said. “You can zero right in on the people who can be swayed either way. In terms of convincing them, there’s a whole path you can go down in terms of deciding if keeping people at home or turning people out who will benefit your candidate.” The data in Facebook Ad Library show that over a recent 90-day period, about 1,860 candidates and groups spent $5.5 million on Facebook ads in Virginia.

Montpelier CEO Kat Imhoff to join Piedmont Environmental Council Piedmont Environmental Council President Chris Miller announced in a press release on Nov. 4 the appointment of Kat Imhoff to the organization’s staff. Imhoff will join the PEC Dec. 2 following seven years as president and CEO of James Madison’s Montpelier. She recently partnered with the Piedmont Environmental Council to put 1,024 acres at Montpelier under permanent conservation easement, setting aside more than two-thirds of the 2,700-acre estate. “Kat comes to us with tremendous accomplishments and a wealth of experience in the conservation and preservation arenas. She is well-known for her longstanding dedication to land preservation, smart growth and environmental protections, and has always been a leader and early adopter of innovative ideas,” Miller said. “That she is already well-versed in the issues important to us and is personally familiar with PEC means she will be able to hit the ground running and move forward exploring innovative concepts and best practices in land conservation. We are delighted to have Kat on board very soon.” This will not be Imhoff’s first time working with the Piedmont Environmental Council. She has previously served as its vice president for conservation and development; in the 1980s she led the labor-intensive process of getting the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District named on the National Register of Historic Places under the National Historic Preservation Act. The designation, which must undergo significant local, state and federal review, recognizes the historic value of the landscape and offers some additional protections to the land by providing a
clear public purpose for conservation easements within these districts. “The process that Kat led at that time created a strong sense of cultural and geographical identity within the community and has enabled PEC to establish more than a dozen more rural historic districts throughout the northern Piedmont,” Miller said. “With great enthusiasm I am re-joining the PEC team, which has been setting a high bar for conservation not only in Virginia but nationally. There is still much good work that remains to be done in the Piedmont and in our commonwealth, and I look forward to contributing my share to that effort,” Imhoff said. She has served as chair of the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, on the board of the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation and on the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission. And she was executive director of the Preservation Alliance of Virginia and the Commission on Population Growth and Development. While at Montpelier, Imhoff has overseen all aspects of the national historic site, including restoration and refurnishing of Madison’s home, reconstruction of enslaved community sites and establishment of a permanent exhibition, “The Mere Distinction of Colour,” which has garnered national awards since its opening in 2017. Prior to her role there, she served as state director for The Nature Conservancy in Montana, leading that organization’s purchase of more than 490,000 acres of land in the Northern Rocky Mountains, and as executive vice president for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello.

Residents will be trained as impartial ‘peacebuilders’ Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center looking for volunteers By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
The Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center wants to train volunteers to be impartial “peacebuilders” to de-escalate disagreements before they get out of hand. “We’re looking for open-minded people who want to give back to the community,” explained Lisa Barkema, who works in the resolution center’s community justice and peacebuilding program. The idea is to bring parties at odds together in a neutral location so that they at least come to a better understanding of the other party’s position. The peacebuilder will guide the discussion but is not a judge. Their job is not to issue a solution. “I like to tell people I’m Switzerland. We’re not attorneys or therapists,” Barkema said. “When you know somebody on a different level, your response may be different” to what’s led to the disagreement. There may be an underlying cause that’s not apparent at first.” Peacebuilders, for instance, would be able to help with a law enforcement issue between two neighbors when it doesn’t rise to the level of an arrest -destruction of property, for instance. “People want to heal and feel a sense of justice,” Barkema said. “We think there is a lot of strength in working together to come up with what works out for the best.” The peacebuilder serves as a fil-
ter, hearing what each side has to say and framing it for discussion. Lawrie Parker, executive director of the conflict resolution service, added, "Conflict is normal. It happens every day. People don’t see things the same way, but we say it doesn’t have to be destructive.” The insights the warring parties gather could be life-changing. “We’d like these strategies to be part of everyone’s life skills,” Barkema said. “We’re trying to reach people to help them with conflict management strategies in their lives,” added Aaron Addison, another staffer in the community justice and peacebuilding program. “This isn’t therapy, but it is therapeutic.” The peacebuilder program is “more of a preventive program so
that a court has less control of the outcome,” said Parker. The resolution service seeks eight peacebuilders to go through the training. The service would like to have people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Applicants must fill out a form that’s available online at piedmontdisputeresolution.org; it asks questions like “What will be challenging for you about working with people in conflict?” “How do you handle conflict in your life?” and “What interests you about this opportunity?” The applications will be reviewed and those chosen will receive 16 hours of training over two days on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, 2020. The training is free, but those accepted in the program are expected to complete the

Resolutions since 1990
The Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center was started in 1990 and serves Prince William County, the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park as well as Fauquier and other counties. The center is based in Fauquier with an office at 98 Alexandria Pike. The bulk of its work – about 90 percent – comes through court referrals, but it also provides mediation services to individuals, families (divorce, child custody, support and visitation), businesses, organizations and churches. Its work is supported by fees and donations. It receives United Way funding and the PATH Foundation awarded it a $75,000 grant this year to create the peacebuilders program. Several years ago, thenWarrenton Police Chief Lou Battle requested the resolution center’s help in reaching out to the African-American community in Warrenton. A series of community meetings were held to foster better community-police relations. The desire of both police officers and people in the community was the same – see them as people, not someone in uniform or as someone whose skin is dark. They learned to see things from another point of view by engaging in role playing, with citizens in the role of police and police officers taking the role of citizens in the scenario. The relationship-building continues to this day with an annual Coming Together as One Family Fun Day held at Eva Walker Park. 16 hours and commit to a year of volunteer service thereafter. The certification earned can be a springboard to becoming a paid mediator. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
PUBLIC SAFETY WALMART, from page 1 Road and Elk Run Road in the Midland area of Fauquier County. One of the vehicles involved in this crash matched the description of the vehicle used by the shooter at Walmart. It is believed the suspected shooter at Walmart and three other individuals were the occupants of the white Acura involved in the accident, said Hartman. They fled the crash scene on foot. Two of the suspects were apprehended by police during a search – one about 8 p.m. and one about 8:20 p.m., and law enforcement continued to search for the other two using helicopters, K-9s and a drone team. A county-wide alert went out about 7 p.m., asking residents to remain indoors and not approach anyone. Three of the subjects were described as black men, one wearing a gray hoodie, one a red hoodie and the third a black jacket. Police asked residents to shelter in place during the manhunt. Residents were asked to call 911 immediately if they saw anyone in the area.
Warrenton man charged in alleged road rage incident
A Warrenton man was charged after an alleged road rage incident on U.S. 29 Monday afternoon, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies were called to the Sheetz in Warrenton to investigate “damage to a vehicle stemming from a reported road rage incident on Monday afternoon,” Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman said in a news release. Deputies met the driver of a blue Jeep with a broken driver’s door window in the Sheetz parking lot at 2:05 p.m. Monday. The man reported to deputies that the incident occurred on Lee Highway (U.S. 29) beginning in Prince William County and ending at a traffic signal at U.S. 29 and Dumfries Road (Route 605) in Fauquier County, according to the news release. Deputies located the driver of the
other vehicle, a red Dodge, at a residence in Warrenton. Deputies also located a witness who followed the Dodge after observing the incident at the Dumfries Road traffic signal, Hartman said. Both the driver of the Jeep and the driver of the Dodge displayed “alleged aggressive driving behaviors while both were driving on southbound Lee Highway/U.S. 29 into Fauquier County,” Hartman said in the news release. When traffic stopped at the Dumfries Road traffic signal, “the driver of the Dodge exited his vehicle and approached the Jeep” and then “began yelling at the Jeep driver and struck the driver’s window several times with his head causing the window to shatter,” according to the news release. The Dodge driver, identified as Donald Duncan, 32, of Warrenton, was charged with destruction of property. He was taken before a magistrate and released on a summons to appear in court. This is the fourth such incident reported on Lee Highway/U.S.
29 in Fauquier County this year, Hartman said.
Remington man allegedly fired shots after quarrel
A Remington man was arrested Oct. 29 for reckless handling of a firearm, brandishing a firearm and damage to property. Deputies were dispatched to Sumerduck Road a little after 9 p.m. for what had been reported as a possible shooting, according to Sgt. James Hartman of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. He said that an investigation determined that there had been a verbal altercation at a residence between Roger Cole, 35, of Remington, and another individual. Hartman said it is alleged that Cole kicked the other individual’s car as he was leaving and fired several gun shots into the air with a handgun, resulting in the charges. Cole was placed under arrest and taken before a magistrate. The magistrate released Cole on a $7,500 unsecured bond.

Fourteen-year-old Abram Embrey, a ninth-grader at Liberty High School, puts a tourniquet on Technician Chuck Myers during the Department of Fire and Rescue Emergency Management’s class, “Until Help Arrives.”
How to be the help until help arrives “The fate of the wounded lies in the hands of the ones who apply the first dressing.” Deputy County Administrator Katie Heritage used this quote to start off an Oct. 27 class called “Until Help Arrives.” The lesson of the four-hour course was clear: Someday that “one” could be you, so you might want to prepare for the possibility. I attended the class as an objective observer, a reporter … not involved, not concerned. But it soon became clear that no one gets to sit on the sidelines and take notes when an emergency slams into your world at 90 miles an hour. Just like everyone else, I learned the stages of “the survival arc.” How quickly a person mentally fights through “denial,” then “deliberation” and ends up at a “decisive moment” might determine whether they are a victim or a survivor. And I learned that if I managed to emerge intact from a car crash, a train wreck or a mass shooting, I’d want to know how to help those who were hurting. I can now envision myself putting a tourniquet on someone who is bleeding badly or packing a wound to save a gunshot victim. It wouldn’t be pretty, but I could do it. Heritage, Battalion Chief RJ Arft, Capt. Matt Shields and Technician II Chuck Myers showed me how. On a rudimentary level, we learned how to treat shock and clear an airway. And we learned that victims need understanding and reassurance maybe more than bandages. Along with 16 other participants, I learned how to react quickly to an active shooter situation, protect myself and others, and save lives in the immediate aftermath. Our teachers explained everything
simply and clearly, making us feel that we could really do this if we had to. That confidence is the difference between a life-saver and a bystander. They told us we could be the first link in the chain. Before the ambulance ride to the emergency room, even before the EMTs came rushing in, we might be able to save a life long enough for them to go to work. They asked us to “be the help until help arrives,” and they appreciated our willingness to try. The Department of Fire and Rescue Emergency Management has offered two Until Help Arrives classes to the public so far. In addition, 27 classes have been presented to county employees, who are all required to attend. More than 400 employees have attended so far. Sara Makely, DFREM deputy coordinator said that she is working on scheduling a class once monthly in November, January and February, all at Fauquier Hospital. Once the dates and times are confirmed she will post the class opportunities on the DFREM Facebook page and website (http://fcfra.camp9.org/Until-Help-Arrives). Makely said, “Currently we have nine employees (seven with DFREM and two with Fauquier County government) certified to teach the class.” Any church, business, community organization that would like to offer the class for their facility can call Makely at 540-422-8803, or complete the form at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/TNJX9SL. Anyone under 18 years old should be accompanied by an adult. Our recommendation: Take the class. Be a life-safer, not a bystander.

Taylor Hoskins, and no entrance fees will be charged during the winter. 25 Years Ago Nov. 9, 1994 Next year, Fauquier County residents will elect their own school board members. By a vote of 0,922 to 3,429 in the Nov. 8 general election, 76 percent of voters approved changing the way school board members are selected in Fauquier County from appointment by the Board of Supervisors to popular election. Congressman Frank R. Wolf was among the few politicians who didn’t have to wait until late Tuesday night to learn whether he would return to Washington. The 10th District Republican easily won re-election over two challengers, Libertarian Robert Rilee and Alan R. Ogden, an associate of political extremist Lyndon LaRouche. A full house is expected Friday on Falcon Field when the Fauquier Falcons and Liberty Eagles square off in the Northwestern District regular-season football finale for both schools in the “Battle of the Birds.” –Compiled by John T.

Working together to tackle climate change Just a few weeks ago, Fauquier County hosted a climate rally in Rady Park, and it drew a wide variety of groups and citizens who are concerned about climate change. The Fauquier Times covered the event with a very fair and helpful story (“Fauquier Held Its Own Climate Change Rally in Rady Park Friday,” Sept. 22). I’d like to give you and your readers an update. A few days after the rally, about a dozen of us converged at the Warren Green Building for one of Rep. [Denver]
Riggleman’s [5th District] constituent service days. We met with the director of Rep. Riggleman’s district office. One by one, we went around the room and explained our individual concerns about climate change and the work that groups in Fauquier County are doing to solve the problem. Last week, we learned that our congressman, Rep. Riggleman, had joined a bipartisan group in the House of Representatives called the “Climate Solutions Caucus.” The group is co-chaired by a Republi-
can and a Democrat and meets to identify solutions to climate change that both conservatives and Democrats can support. We can’t know if our efforts here in Fauquier made a difference, but we greatly appreciate Rep. Riggleman’s willingness to join with other conservatives and with Democrats to work towards a solution. Also, last week, a new Climate Solutions Caucus was formed in the U.S. Senate, co-chaired by Sen. Mike Braun (R-Indiana) and Senator Chris Coons (D-Delaware). The purpose of the Senate Caucus is like that of the House Caucus – to create
Consolidated commission next step in land presevation Fauquier County has successfully utilized every tool in the state-sanctioned land conservation kit — use-value real estate tax assessments; sliding-scale density and non-common open space zoning rules for large subdivisions; private conservation easements; the purchase of development rights program; and tax-friendly agricultural and forestal districts. In combination, these tools have enabled Fauquier to provide varying degrees of protection to 70 percent of the county’s 660 square miles of land area; to lead the state in the percentage of its property in permanent easement (25 percent); and to boast Virginia’s most active PDR program, funded by a minuscule (0.6 cents) local real estate tax levy. But, unlike other jurisdictions, notably Clarke and Albemarle coun-
ties, Fauquier has failed to maximize the effectiveness of these land conservation tools by unifying their administration and educating citizens about the relative advantages of varying approaches to preserving the county’s rural agricultural character. To illustrate, the $25,000 that a southern Fauquier farmer receives for each development right that he or she surrenders under the PDR program is income taxable as a capital gain in the year of the property’s transfer. Conversely, the value of that same surrendered development right under a conservation easement is treated as a charitable contribution for which saleable tax credits of ten years’ duration are available under federal and state law. Similarly, Fauquier’s share of public school funding under the
state’s arcane Local Composite Index would increase dramatically if properties qualifying for use-value real estate tax assessment were in permanent easements: the former are treated at fair market value under the LCI; the latter at their considerably lower conserved worth, thereby reducing the LCI’s penalty on Fauquier’s perceived real estate wealth. It seems to me that Fauquier’s board of supervisors would be wise to consolidate the administration of its considerable land conservation authorities in what I would call the County Conservation Commission, in order to strengthen and protect the county’s well-deserved reputation as Virginia’s leader in preserving the state’s enduring beauty for future generations.

bipartisan political space to develop climate solutions that work for both Republicans and Democrats. We hope that Virginia senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner will join the Senate Caucus. As we hit record temperatures in October, and our local farmers try to cope with climate disruptions to the agricultural cycle, we need more than ever to agree that climate change is real, it is happening now, and we need bipartisan solutions.

Newspaper seems biased against Kettle Run High School sports I am disappointed to report that your newspaper seems to have a bias against Kettle Run High School. Kettle Run has lost all season, but you would never know it if looking at football articles from your newspaper. Fauquier might lose, but there is still an article about that loss. Even when Kettle Run had great years, your newspaper still concentrated on reporting about Liberty and Fauquier high schools. Let me ask everyone who reads this: Do you agree that the Fauquier newspaper is indeed biased about Kettle Run?

Series sheds light on opioid crisis Virginia District maps should be drawn by new non-partisan redistricting commission The majority of today’s implementation of the news surrounding the American opioid crisis covers big pharma’s latest legal woes or another rash of overdose deaths. “Opioid Ripples: Breaking the Cycle,” however, was a breath of fresh air. So much media attention is directed at placing blame. This is understandable; people are angry. They are looking to the past to find answers, trying to overcome their grief with retribution. Pointing fingers at doctors, the pharmaceutical industry, or politicians does nothing to protect our communities from devastating consequences of the opioid epidemic. Thank you for highlighting novel efforts of our local communities that “get it.” The key to stop repeating the mistakes of the past is to create educated, supportive, cohesive, empowered communities that recognize and address social and environmental factors that put people at risk for addiction. Fauquier High School’s
Youth Mental Health First Aid program is particularly intriguing. Today’s youth have inherited problems of previous generations, including the opioid crisis. Mental Health First Aid is a program endorsed by many organizations, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that has been used in various settings for almost 20 years. Schoolbased programs traditionally train teachers and administrators to recognize and assist students who may be struggling with addiction or a mental health crisis. Training teens to assist their peers, however, is an innovative approach that empowers youth to decrease stigma and redefine social norms surrounding mental health and substance abuse. Keep us posted and keep covering the good news!

In accordance with Article 1, Section 2, Subparagraph 3 of the United States Constitution, a comprehensive census of the United States is to be conducted every 10 years. The census is conducted for many reasons. One of these reasons is to enable various government entities to revise their district representation maps. Normally, this process is done by the state legislature or local governing body. In our state of Virginia, I believe that this process should be done by an indepen-
dent non-partisan redistricting commission. Using raw census data and computer programs, the commission would redraw the district maps in order to conform to changing demographic trends. To accomplish this, the Virginia Constitution would have to be amended. Virginia registered voters would have to approve this. Now is the time.

Annual gala and meeting honored their own By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
The Fauquier Chamber of Commerce held its 33rd annual Gala and meeting Saturday evening at the Fauquier Springs Country Club. The tables were full and merriment in full swing. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of this year's winners in four categories. Taking home Nonprofit Business of the Year is Verdun Adventure Bound. Founded by Dr. David “Doc” Synder in 1999, the educational outdoor center celebrated 20 years of serving the community this year. The facility spans more than 55 acres of natural habitat, offering groups an ideal setting for team-building events and adventure experiences geared for youth or adults. Executive Director Honore Hastings was delighted and surprised. “I’m thrilled to be among these other nonprofits, on behalf of Verdun Adventure Bound … thank you,” said Hastings. Other nominees in that category were Leadership Fauquier and Lord Fairfax Community College. Small Business of the Year went to Grioli's Italian Bistro in Bealeton. "I'm blessed to be in this community," said owner Vinny Vitale who uses a long-held family recipe for his sauce. Heralding from a Sicilian family with deep roots in the restaurant business going back some five decades, Vitale grew up hearing and listening to his grandmother’s advice: “eat well and eat Italian.” Vitale’s father immigrated from Sicily and opened his first shop in 1969. Vitale has called Fauquier County home since 2007. In October of that year, he opened Grioli’s Italian Grill and Pizzeria in Bealeton. Since then, the restaurant has garnered a reputation for offering great food using fresh ingredients coupled with great service. Vitale is also known for his strong “give back to the community” ethic. Grioli’s has a presence at the annual Relay for Life event, for instance. Others competing for that title were Constant Water and Linda Wright with JAFRA. Large Business of the Year went to Updegrove, McDaniel, McMullen & Chiccehitto, PLC. Mary Leigh McDaniel, who represents the Marshall District on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors and is seeking re-election beamed.
Chris Coutts, Lord Fairfax Community College, will serve as the Chamber’s board chairman in 2020.

Genesis Home Improvement looks to launch carpentry training program By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
After years in the financial and banking world, Kim Jenkins decided to use her marketing and business savvy and take a leap of faith. She joined forces with her husband’s construction company. Working out of a garage, Kim and Mark Jenkins started small with a handful of employees, taking on one project at a time and building community confidence along the way. Now, at more than 20 employees and serving Northern Virginia and many Piedmont communities, Genesis Home Improvement celebrated a ribbon cutting this summer at its new facility in Remington. It has soaring ceilings and plenty of natural light flooding into large open spaces. There is plenty of room to showcase all the features that can be added to shingle a roof, tile a floor, create a bannister, new kitchen or bathroom or a garage addition. Each step along the way has proved challenging, Kim and Mark Jenkins, in addition to being committed to each
other professionally and personally, seek God’s guidance in all they undertake. Their move to new offices and warehouse space has proved fortuitous. “We had seen the location … the old Richie Millwork building in Remington … but thought … no way would we be able to afford that,” laughed Kim Jenkins. But fate had more in store for them when their realtor sealed the deal. The previous owners were happy to see the building in good hands and with a good mission. Since opening their business, the Jenkins have always had another goal in mind, a way to give back to the community and to fill a need that they see growing in the community. “Over the past four years, we have been aggressively engaged with Lord Fairfax Community College and, more recently, Fauquier County Public Schools, [we have been] expressing the need for carpenters and attempting to get a carpentry program in our local area,” said Kim Jenkins. “Our mission at Genesis Home Improvement, LLC is to revitalize the future of the carpentry trade and change the perception of contractors. There are true pathways that come along with a carpentry career. Those interested in the program would set themselves up to work into lead carpenter, superintendent and project management roles. This certification would be the first

The Jenkins’ are offering their location as a classroom to help students of the program learn and gain hands-on experience. According to Jenkins, it would benefit Lord Fairfax by taking the pressure off to find space for a new program. The accredited program would prepare interested students for a career in carpentry, or it could function as a training program for employers in the industry looking to train new hires and enhance their existing teammates' skills. Jenkins noted that the Washington D.C. area is one of the top 10 areas in the country that employs carpenters. “Carpentry is more than finish trim or drywall,” said Jenkins, “carpenters frame houses, repair or replace floors, build additions, restore a home after a flood or fire, maintain government buildings and hospitals, the list goes on.” Kim and Mark Jenkins share their belief and message that, “it’s OK to be a carpenter.” They welcome the opportunity to add to the county’s growing vocational and technical education programs. “Everyone has different skills and there are so many people that love working with their hands,” said Jenkins adding, “we’d like to help change the trajectory of people’s lives.” Moving forward with their latest initiative, an advisory board has been established by Donna Comer and Carlene Hurdle (Workforce and Economic Development) with Lord Fairfax Community College.

According to Comer and Hurdle, the most successful programs at Lord Fairfax Community College enjoy strong industry partnerships and support. Comer and Hurdle are helping Jenkins put out the word about an upcoming event. The gathering would provide an open discussion about ways, as employers, mentors and educators, they can help cultivate and secure a good pipeline for the next generation of carpenters. “If you are an employer who is on the constant look out for skilled carpenters, put Nov. 14 on your calendar. Come and help strategize with other businesses facing the same needs.

WHO’S GONNA FLY HIGH IN BIRD BOWL? Liberty’s Sweet 16

A happy team will lift the Fauquier Times-sponsored Bird Bowl Trophy Friday night. The paper has provided the trophy since Liberty opened in 1994. The Eagles lead the Bird Bowl series 21-4 and overall rivalry 27-7.

Eagles have won 16 straight, but Falcons aren’t pushovers By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
The Liberty Eagles have clinched the Northwestern District football championship, so maybe they don’t mind if Fauquier wins this year’s Bird Bowl. Don’t even dream about it, Fauquier. At 9-0 the Eagles are hell-bent on coming into Falcon Field and burying the Falcons yet again to finish 10-0. Fauquier is the last district foe for Liberty to dominate and they want the Falcons’ scalps. “That game means everything. We have been talking about getting an undefeated season since I moved up here in seventh grade,” said senior Tre’von White. “Now we are here undefeated and getting to face Fauquier.” Liberty has won 16 straight Bird
OVERDUE FALCONS
Fauquier’s last win over Liberty came on Aug. 31, 2007, in the season opener, 17-14, but the Eagles won the Bird Bowl that year 33-26. Fauquier’s last Bird Bowl win was 14-10 on Nov. 8, 2002. Bowls, so you can argue there’s just as much pressure on them to keep beating the Falcons. “The rivalry with Fauquier is huge. We want to keep the streak going. Nobody ever wants a streak to end. We want to stay perfect and it is a cross-county rival and it can’t get much better than that,” said coach Travis Buzzo. Fauquier’s progress this year is undeniable. They’ve gone from 0-10 to 4-5 and had plenty of highlights for firstyear coach Karl Buckwalter, including a strong 21-7 win over Kettle Run, a
dramatic 14-13 win over Heritage and a 32-0 blowout of Northwestern District Class 3 champion Brentsville. The Falcons are built around some talented players and a solid defense, but they’re again huge underdogs. Liberty is peaking offensively and defensively. Some clutch district road wins have hardened the Eagles, who take great pride in crushing Fauquier’s dreams in the Bird Bowl. Three or four weeks ago, this game looked like more of a tossup. Since then Liberty has reeled off wins against Sherando, Millbrook, James Wood and Handley to leave district rivals shaking their heads in admiration. Fauquier lost last Friday to Sherando 48-14 to fall to 2-4 in the district. Buckwalter is preparing for the Liberty juggernaut by using the same psychological strategy with his kids that worked against Kettle Run.
“The message is very simple but powerful. Sixteen years of community frustration can be erased in 48 minutes. Leaving a legacy is what we have been saying since day one,” Buckwalter said. Fauquier famously let a Bird Bowl slip away in 2016. Liberty players were beginning to cry when the Falcons led 27-21 and had the ball and a first down at the LHS 12 with over a minute to go, but a fumble and 86-yard TD drive got the Eagles an amazing 28-27 win. Eagle running back Mason Gay said the Eagles won’t overlook the Falcons. “We have to stay humble for Fauquier,” said Gay. “We have to play hard because Fauquier always plays hard against us.” “It is a rival game and they play harder against us. We want to come out of the regular season 10-0,” said Justin Lawson.
Rodman’s ‘fearsome’ kick leads to district cross country glory By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The term “running scared” means dreading what might happen in a certain situation. For Liberty’s Sam Rodman it was a method of conquest at the Northwestern District boys cross country meet at Central High School in Woodstock. Although he experienced some harrowing moments, Rodman won the Oct. 29 meet by an impressive 13 seconds and advanced to this week’s Class 4 Region B meet where he’ll have company. Also qualifying for regionals were Fauquier’s girls team and Falcon boys standout Brian Bolles, giving Fauquier County nine runners in the meet Thursday at Kernstown Battlefield near Winchester. The top three teams and next five top runners make the Class 4 state meet Nov. 16 at Great Meadow. PHOTO BY LEROY WORLEY
Liberty’s Sam Rodman broke the tape as district boys cross country champion.
Rodman credited his title to fear and respect. He knew Sherando’s James Harris had a faster regular season time and Fauquier’s Bolles would contend. “Both of them are great runners and had me on my toes the whole race,” Rodman said. Harris likes to go out fast and took the lead. “Brian and I finally caught up to him around the first mile marker where I heard a coach yell ‘4:55,’” Rodman said. Rodman went to the front, but was pushed faster than he wanted to when he felt Harris’ footsteps. The adrenalin burst left Harris breathing Rodman’s fumes. “I heard James right behind me and his teammates cheering him on, so I was a little scared that he would out kick me,” said Rodman, who defeated the field of 74 runners in 15:47.1 for a whopping victory margin of 13.1 seconds. “I just took off at 400 meters to go …thought that he was right behind me the entire way to the line.” See RODMAN, page 19

After eliminating Fauquier, Cougars ousted by Wood First-year coach led Kettle Run volleyball to district semis and 13-10 record By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Back-to-back games rarely are ideal. Especially when you have to play top-seeded James Wood on the second night. After rallying to knock off county arch-rival Fauquier in the quarterfinals of the Northwestern District volleyball tournament on Oct. 28, Kettle Run was still basking in glory of its success a day later. The mood changed dramatically against the regular-season champion Colonels, who slapped a 25-7, 25-15, 25-8 defeat on the No. 4-seeded Cougars to end their postseason run. The Cougars finished 13-10. “I think some of the girls were emotionally depleted from the Fauquier game,” Cougar first-year coach Mike Howard said. Still, he was somewhat optimistic entering the contest. Back on Oct. 15, Kettle Run hung with James Wood. The match was nip and tuck as Kettle Run narrowly lost the opening two sets before the visitors recorded a 2725, 26-24, 25-16 win. “Looking back on the second match with them, we had an opportunity to win one or both of the first two sets,” Howard said, as only a play or two in both made the difference.
“I think some of the girls were emotionally depleted from the Fauquier game.” COACH MIKE HOWARD
“That would’ve changed the match,” he said then. “I don’t think that they expected the score to be that close at Kettle Run.” Howard said that performance probably convinced the James Wood coaches to stress the need to start strongly in tournament play, advice they heeded. “They came out guns blazing and delivered the knockout punch from the beginning,” the first-year coach said. Howard said several elements factored into the outcome. The issue of unforced errors headed the list. “Early in the first set, we made three errors in a row. That started the avalanche, and we were done from there,” he said. Howard added James Wood’s speedy play and consistency were nettlesome as well. Highly successful teams exhibit both components, he stressed, so he has targeted those areas for off-season work. “We took some big steps forward and I have ideas for next year,” Howard said.

Happy Cougars dominate Culpeper, 28-14, for first win By Peter Brewington
NEXT GAME
Times Staff Writer
Friday vs. Sherando (6-3), 7 p.m.
Walking up to Friday’s football game at Culpeper’s Broman Field, there was a roped off area with a battered mini-van with missing windows that said “Beat Kettle Run” on it, spray-painted in orange and green. It was in demolition derby condition after Culpeper fans had taken whacks with a sledgehammer. Perhaps Culpeper fans want to batter it even more now that the game is over. Kettle Run was a big winner Friday, 28-14. The Cougars won the first half. They won the second half. They had better play at quarterback, wide receiver and running back. Defensively they were lights out, and the offensive line was equally solid. Kettle Run was not to be denied in its relatively easy win that ended a nine-game losing streak. Staring at the strong likelihood of an 0-10 season if they lost, the Cougars made sure that didn’t happen. They’re now 1-8 and as happy as clams heading into Friday’s season finale at home against Sherando (6-3). “Oh, it’s a great feeling. We struggled this year a lot. We’re starting to build more chemistry,” said quarterback Elijah Chumley. “We’re a very young team. I’m looking forward to next year.”
“Moments tonight that’s the team I thought we were gonna be all year,” said coach Charlie Porterfield. “We put a whole game together and got a win, especially at this point in the season when it’s easy for these guys to say, ‘I’m not gonna do this anymore,’’ or ‘We’ve got a week left, I’m gonna move on to basketball,’’’ he said.

EAGLES ARE DISTRICT KINGS Lawson’s big night helps Liberty stifle Handley, 40-27, in showdown By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
With a 40-27 win over the Handley Judges, Liberty coach Travis Buzzo accomplished some vital goals last Friday. Score in all three phases. Check. Contain Handley’s Malachi Imoh, the district’s most dangerous player. Check. Claim a Class 4 Northwestern District Title. Check. After the final whistle, Liberty players tracked down Buzzo with the same gusto they used to contain Imoh and showered their coach using the Gatorade jug as temperatures dipped into the low 40s in Bealeton. “It’s not about me. It is about these boys right here,” said Buzzo. “They have really bought into the system and they are rolling with it right now.” Liberty is up to No. 2 in the latest Class 4 Region B rankings and can close out a 10-0 season with an expected Bird Bowl win Friday at Fauquier (4-5). That’s only possible because they maintained their mastery over the Judges, beating them for the fifth time in a row. They last lost in 2013. The Eagles scored with a 44-yard interception return by Tre’Von White and a 90-yard kickoff return by Justin Lawson to go with their usual efficient offense, which racked up points through the air and on the ground.
Imoh had been putting up video game numbers, but his only early big contribution was a 26-yard completion on their opening offensive play. “We were going to do everything in our power to try and keep him contained,” Buzzo said, “and I thought we did a really good job of doing that for three quarters.” The Eagles’ Freddie Harris, Jordan Woodson and Michael Baldwin each finished with a sack, adding to a fumble recovery from Matthew Sloan and interceptions from White (two) and Bryan Barnes. Liberty and Handley battled fiercely until the final minute of the first quarter when Eagles quarterback Dylan Bailey completed a short shovel pass to Lawson, who followed his blocking to the outside before reversing direction for a 30-yard score. “I saw the defense collapsing down on the jet-action so I decided to see what I could do with the ball,” Lawson said. Mason Gay, who ran for 129 yards on 24 carries, burst up the middle through an intimidating effort to score a 2-yard touchdown with 40 seconds remaining in the second quarter for a 14-0 lead. White grabbed a pass off the fingertips of a Judges receiver and returned it 44 yards for TD to open the third as the lead grew to 22-0. Ahead 22-8, Lawson took a kickoff 90 yards to the end zone. The Eagles also had three TDs called back, two on long passes to Lawson and Wyatt Hicks and one on the White punt return.

RideFauquier is a local trail group developing a public horse facility and trail system on Meetze Road just east of Warrenton. Volunteers are hard at work expanding the trailer parking area so area riders can park and ride miles of trails between Meetze Road and Lord Fairfax Community College. The group is hosting a benefit ride Saturday at Great Meadow. Find more at ridefauquier.com.
Meetze Station horse park gets fresh funding By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
For years a local horse club has excited area riders by working to develop a new trail system in Warrenton. Now one of the largest equestrian associations in the nation is rewarding their initiative. RideFauquier, formerly called the Fauquier Equestrian Forum, was awarded a $5,000 grant from the American Quarter Horse Association to continue developing the horse trail system at Meetze Station just
Sam is Eagles’ man RODMAN, from page 15 Rodman said he experienced “relief, excitement, pain of course” as he broke the tape, then went to check in on his teammates who were dueling to finish ahead of Fauquier. Liberty’s boys placed close behind long-time county power Falcons at the recent large Third Battle Invitational, and wanted to beat them at districts. Liberty accomplished that goal by placing fifth with 118 points to 133 for the No. 6 Falcons. James Wood edged Millbrook, 5860, for the boys crown, with Sherando (78) and Handley (84) grabbing the two remaining team berths. Kettle Run (158) and Culpeper (215) were seventh and eighth, respectively. Falcon coach Quentin Jones said a few of his runners were not feeling wellut praised the Eagles. “Liberty attacked and ran well,” Jones said.
east of town on Meetze Road. Club president Jinx Fox says the Stewards for Trails, Education and Partnership (STEP) program grant will help RideFauquier restore, repair and establish trails. RideFauquier was one of five STEP grant recipients for 2019. In addition, the Fauquier Trails Coalition recently granted RideFauquier $10,000 to help complete the equestrian park’s recreational facilities, including trailer parking and trail access. “Both the AQHA and Fauquier Trails Coalition funds come at a Bolles’ ninth-place finish in 16:40.1 earned him an individual berth for the region meet as one of the first 15. Liberty’s Matthew Anderson took 16th in 17:12.1 as the second Liberty runner. Conner Rogers (17:35), Owen Rogers (34th, 17:53), Micah Carroll (49th, 18:38), Evan Worley (52nd, 18:6) and Peter Rummel (56th, 18:59) completed the top seven Eagles. In addition to Bolles, Fauquier’s contingent included Jonas Reutezel (27th, 17:38), Stephen Hiner (29th, 17:44), John Paccassi (30th, 1:46), Kyle St. Clair (43rd, 18;250, Jonathan Ibarra (6th, 18:29) and Aidan Stanton (51st, 18:46). Kettle Run’s top seven were Parker Saville (18th, 17:15), Noah Leary (35th, 18:02), Andrew McGonegal (36th, 18:07), Ethan Martin (39th, 18:08), Jackson Rolando (42nd, 18:21), Sean Kersey (60th, 19:09) and David Jorgensen (64th, 19:29).
crucial time during our nonprofit’s ongoing construction of the parking lot as well as trail access,” Fox said. “We’re also working on (riding) arena construction, so these grants are a great support.” This Saturday, Nov. 9, RideFauquier has a fundraiser trail ride at Great Meadow in The Plains. Fox says this will be a slow, guided ride that will encircle the vast property for about 2 hours, with a light lunch to follow. Riders are asked to register and pay online at ridefauquier.com prior to the event.
Horse euthanized in Loudoun On Oct. 24, the state veterinarian reported that a horse tested positive for Equine Herpesvirus-1 (EHV1), the virus that causes Equine Myeloencephalopathy. The horse went neurologic and was euthanized on Tuesday. The infected horse lived at a commercial boarding barn in Loudoun County. The stable is now under quarantine. Two exposed horses were traced back to a boarding stable in Maryland and Virginia’s state vet notified the Maryland state vet. All exposed horses are being monitored multiple times daily for temperature over 101.5, and other clinical signs. No additional Virginia horses were exposed. EHV-1 is a virus present in the environment and found in most horses all over the world. Most horses are exposed to the virus at a young age with no serious side effects, and a large percentage of horses carry the virus with no clinical signs for the remainder of their lives. More information on EHV-1 at vdacs. virginia.gov/animals-equine-herpesvirus.shtml.

Mount Everest Base Camp: The adventure of a lifetime If you had asked me this time last year if I wanted to hike up to Mount Everest Base Camp, I would have looked at you and wondered … why? The idea of seeing the highest mountain on earth has always intrigued me but never did I imagine myself actually going there. My proverbial bucket list did not have this on it at all. In fact, it was an invitation to be part of the World Hope International’s #climbingforacause fundraiser that stirred up some interest to actually make this climb a reality. Bringing attention to the world’s need for clean water is a worthy cause. Many times in life we get invited to be part of events that we may not truly want to do or think we can do given our busy schedules. As I remind my yoga students, we don’t always have to accept every invite with an emphatic “yes.” Truth be told, learning to say no, and letting go of the feeling of social obligations is quite liberating. This invite had me hesitate. After doing some research, a big, emphatic “yes” came out. It was Sept. 28 that we began our amazing adventure with a layover stop in Istanbul. Marianne Clyde, “Mailman” Mike and I booked the same flights that took us to the other side of the world. We landed safely in Kathmandu, Nepal, on the morning of Sept. 30 where we met the other two gals of our team -- World Hope organizer Heather Hill from D.C. and professional sailor and climber Sara Streiter. Immediately the eye-opening experience began as the energy of the city and all its frenetic traffic had my jaw drop as we made it safely to our hotel. Vehicles were overcrowded and safety didn’t seem to be an issue. But the pedestrians had a knack for crossing the street when the going felt right. For the next two nights, we reviewed our backpack contents along with our itinerary for the next two weeks as we spent time unwinding and adapting from our flights. Our adventure company was introduced to us and all of a sudden, the feelings of oh-my-goodness-we-are-reallydoing-this flooded over me. With deep breaths, excitement and a little fear of the unknown, I was able to get a good night’s sleep. The second night, however, we had to leave at 2 a.m. in order to drive four hours to catch an early morning flight to Lukla Airport. It was recommended to try to sleep along the drive, but the mountain climb and bumpy roads did not make it conducive to any rest at all. Then once we arrived safely at this small village airport, noted for its dangerous short runway, several hun-

GROW STRENGTH WITHIN
MONICA FERNANDI dred other hopeful travelers looked as though they had been there for some time. Our trek guide, Raju, did his best to get us on a flight, but due to cloudy skies and lack of visibility for these small planes, all flights were grounded until further notice. I might add that up to this point no one had much of the local food or water (unless it was boiled). We were forewarned by Sara to avoid uncooked veggies and fruits and be wary of certain foods for fear of getting dysentery or worse, food poisoning. No one wants to deal with that while trying to acclimate to altitude! She had been there a few years back and her whole group had a terrible experience with this, so we all heeded her advice. Hard-boiled eggs, nuts, protein bars and bouillon were my staples. Others brought dehydrated meals to sustain them in Kathmandu. Once we began our trek to base camp, the tea houses were a safer source for food. I avoided eating meat the whole time in Nepal but plenty of lentils and even some pizza got me through. The flights to Lukla did not resume for a whole day. Apparently, we were lucky; the group before us could not fly out for five days due to weather. Once we got on our little plane, prayers were said and faith put into the pilot’s hands. It was yet another jaw-dropping moment for all of us. The 15-minute flight had all 14 passengers frozen in excitement and enthusiasm. From Oct. 3 to 9 we hiked, climbing in altitude from 9,400 feet to 17,600 feet. Each day began about 6 a.m. The Kombu valley is diverse as we passed by many waterfalls, lush evergreen

trees, rhododendron and beautiful flowers. We trusted Raju as he led us up and over some very intense climbs, including about 12 suspension bridges. With trekking poles in hand my body strategically stepped both high and low, but even though I am a personal trainer, the altitude presented a challenge. As we ascended higher and higher the landscape changed, and it began to look a bit more barren with many more rocks and steps to climb. I caught myself in moments of sheer awe many times, which helped ease the difficulty a bit. We had clear blue skies most every day and finally got a glimpse of the amazing Mount Everest four days before reaching base camp. She was beautiful and full of life! Oh, how brave many have been to even think of reaching her 29,000 foot summit. Making it to just 17,600 was hard enough. We reached Base Camp on Oct. 9, after many tough climbs with less and less oxygen. I cried as I struggled, but tears of joy poured out upon our descent. I felt exhilarated that I did it and so grateful for having reached our goal for #climbingforacause.
Thanks to all who donated and continue to support this eye-opening crisis for water. We experienced the need first-hand over there with lack of clean water and sanitation and had to purchase boiled water to drink. We made it back down to Lukla airport in just three days after climbing up in seven. We flew safely home Oct. 16 and continue to process this trip of a lifetime. Was it worth every challenge that I faced? Yes indeed. Reaching the top of the world for a life-saving cause: priceless. Having done it, I can honestly say I would do it all again.

Caring for a loved one: what you need to know When a person assumes the responsibility of caring for a loved one, the need for information can be overwhelming. Caregivers share a common desire for information, resources and emotional support. They need access to health information to better understand illnesses, conditions and diseases. They also need access to resources for managing the financial impact of caregiving, strategies for dealing with stress, information for caring for someone with dementia and information on finding the right type of care. Research indicates 30 percent of
adults in the United States provide support to a loved one, and most in this group are caring for an elderly parent or spouse. The caregivers consist largely of women, many of whom are still working full-time jobs. By 2030, approximately 80 million Americans, or 20 percent of the population, are projected to be 65 or older, and 2.3 percent of the population will be 85 and older. As the percentage of citizens caring for an older adult increases, so will the need for easy access to relevant health care information and support services. In response to the Community Conversations needs assessment conducted by Aging Together through generous support from the PATH Foundation, the Aging Together Fauquier team (co-led by Mark Harvey of Firstlight Homecare and Ginny Biggs of Aging Together) has prepared a Caregiver Workshop; it will be presented on Dec. 5 at Fauquier hospital. In a statement about the workshop, Liesa Dodson of Grace Retirement Village and chair of the Caregiver Workshop Committee,
said, “the primary goal of the workshop is to provide awareness of resources and services available to caregivers, as well as to offer a supportive group atmosphere where other caregivers can discuss ideas and ask questions.” Specific topics include “Caregiver Burn-Out,” “Options and Care Navigation,” “Dementia Stages,” “Effective Communication Strategies for Persons with Dementia,” “Goals of Care” and “Understanding Financial Aspects of Care.” The workshop format will include a short keynote address followed by roundtable discussions. This workshop style fosters a good choice of topics and participation; attendees will learn from one another and from the topic expert. Presenters represent a multitude of organizations including: Alzheimer’s Association, Capital Caring, Cornerstone Baptist Church, Fauquier Health, Insight Memory Care, NovaCares, LLC, Virginia Healthcare Services Rehab, Signature Estate & Investment Advisors and more. One of the challenges in reaching people for these educational events is that people don’t necessarily identify themselves as “caregivers.” A person taking care of a parent or spouse with a chronic illness or dementia is simply doing their duty as a loving “daughter” or partner. Another challenge for the person providing care is finding a replacement caregiver so
ELLEN PHIPPS they can take a break from their duties to attend a program. For that reason, we have scheduled a two-hour session (rather than an all-day event) with light refreshments. If people are interested but unable to attend, Fauquier Aging Together will host a live webinar in the spring (April 3) with renowned speaker Teepa Snow. The webinar will allow caregivers to attend from the comfort of their homes or workplace. More information to come. The Fauquier Aging Together team consists of healthcare professionals and members of the community committed to meeting the needs of older adults. The workshop, “Caring for a loved one: what you need to know,” will take place on Dec. 5, at Fauquier Hospital, Sycamore Room, from 10 a.m. to noon. The workshop is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Aging Together at 540-321-3068 or at info@agingtogether.org Ellen Phipps is the executive director of Aging Together. Reach her at ephipps@agingtogether.org or 540-321-3068.

A ribbon cutting was held Friday, Nov. 1, celebrating not only a 10-year anniversary at Narmada Winery but the introduction of a new wine.
Narmada Winery celebrates 10th anniversary Staff Reports Narmada Winery, an award-winning boutique vineyard and winery in Amissville, will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Nov. 16. Owners Pandit and Sudha Patil first opened the doors of Narmada in 2009, and the winery has been growing ever since. In the past decade, the wines have won more than 700 medals in competitions, and the tasting room has become a favorite retreat for many local wine-lovers. “Our goal from day one has been to offer truly Virginian wines,” said Sudha Patil, who is also the winemaker. “Virginia has such a beautiful and unique terroir and we want to share that with everyone who tastes our wines.” In February of 2018, Pandit passed away, but Sudha continues to operate the winery in his memory. “Pandit would be very proud to be celebrating our 10th year,” she stat-
ed. “We know that he is celebrating with us, one way or another. Everybody being here means so much to him. He would be the first person to say, ‘Let’s celebrate our success!’” On Nov. 1, Narmada Winery hosted a ribbon-cutting to mark the start of a new decade. The ribbon-cutting featured local chambers of commerce and was open to the public. The event featured the release of a celebratory wine: 10-year barrel-aged port-style, “Allure.” “‘Allure’ has always been popular, but there is something more unique to this one,” Sudha remarked. “I have been aging this in bourbon barrels since 2009, and we just bottled it this spring. It is an incredible new wine that marks our 10 years of work, and it is truly something special.” On Nov. 16, Narmada will host a gala marking the 10-year milestone. There will be a silent auction bene-
fiting two local charities: the Rappahannock Food Pantry, and Headwaters, an educational nonprofit. “We want to use this celebration to give back to our community,” says Sudha. “Education has been a cornerstone of our lives, and we want to share that gift.” The gala itself will be from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. and will include a winepaired dinner catered by Á La Carte Catering from Vint Hill. There will be ballroom and Bollywood dancing, with music provided by DJ DCVibez. The 10-Year ‘Allure’ will be featured at the gala, as well as the 2019 Chambourcin Nouveau, a fresh, Beaujoulais-styled wine released as the first taste of the new harvest. Tickets are available online and are expected to sell out. Located at 43 Narmada Lane in Amissville. Visit www.narmadawinery.com Contact: 540-937-8215.
Pandit Patil passed away in 2018 but his memory remains at the winery where his wife and staff continue the tradition of creating distinctive wines.

Old Bust Head hosts Cold War museum talk Sunday, Nov. 10 Staff Reports The Cold War Museum, in cooperation with Old Bust Head Brewing Company, is hosting a presentation by retired U.S. Air Force Col. Jack Manclark on “Being the Bad Guys: The Top Secret Red Eagles vs. the Best U.S. Combat Pilots.” Manclark is the former squadron commander of the Red Eagles, America’s top-secret MiG squadron, according to a Cold War Museum news release. “Their job was to be much better than America’s best combat pilots, and to beat them again and again in dogfights until they learned how to defeat advanced MiGs flying with Soviet tactics,” the news release said. The squadron operated from 1978 to 1987 and was a tri-service operation manned by Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps Fighter Pilots, according to the news release. The 4477TES flew MIG-17, MiG-21 and MiG-23 aircraft with no flight manuals and very little tech data or spare parts. During the 1980s they operated a fleet of 26 MiG aircraft and flew over 17,000 sorties with the Soviet aircraft. More than 6,500 U.S. fighter
crews participated in the program. Jack Manclark entered the Air Force and was commissioned in 1969 through Officer Training School at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. He completed undergraduate pilot training in 1970 and served numerous tours in fighter operations. Manclark was Operations Officer for the 64th Aggressor Squadron and later served as Commander of the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron, America’s secret MiG Squadron. He completed two staff tours, first as chief of aircrew assignments at Headquarters Tactical Air Command, and later as chief of the policy and programs division within the Directorate of Test and Evaluation at Air Force headquarters.

Special to the Times
The pews were packed on Friday, Oct. 25, in The Plains for the Second Annual Concert for the Animals: A Pop Music Songbook held at Grace Episcopal Church and benefiting Middleburg Humane Foundation. The concert featured pop classics from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s including hits by Barbra Streisand, Elton John, Bette Midler, Olivia Newton-John, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton and more. The concert raised more than $10,000 for the second year in a row. Presenting sponsors this year were Country Chevrolet and Paws Awhile Pet Motel.
Music Director Martin Gallegos, an acclaimed concert pianist and teacher, led the concert. Also in the cast was his wife, singer Liza Oliver Gallegos, who performed classic hits from Whitney Houston and Donna Summer among others.

Your help is needed This is the third consecutive year that representatives of Hearts Delight Baptist Church want to support local law enforcement officers in Fauquier County for the 2019 Thanksgiving holiday. The deputy sheriffs are the lowest paid enforcement officers in the state. So, we wanted to show our appreciation for their service to our communities again this year. Our goal is to raise approximately $2,000 to purchase 200 turkeys for the entire Sheriff’s Department by Nov. 14. We are asking organizations who do business in Fauquier County to donate money toward this effort. We have created a special bank account
at BB&T to secure any monetary donations we receive. If you can donate to this project, checks can be made payable to Turkeys for First Responders and mailed to Pearl Gordon-El, Hearts Delight Baptist Church, 1129 Brent Town Road, PO Box 75, Catlett, VA 20119. Thank you in advance for your willingness to help. The Rev. Tyrone Green Pastor

White-tailed deer populations in North America have increased from about 500,000 in the early 1900s to 30 million today. Without native predators like the gray wolf and cougar, hunting is the primary factor to limit deer populations. Suburban housing developments, built in formerly forested and fielded areas, provide ideal winter feeding grounds for deer. One deer eats about six pounds of vegetation daily, so it does not take many to decimate a landscape. For people managing landscapes in areas with many deer, there are several possible approaches to reducing damage: Fencing- Where it is practical, fencing is the most effective method of reducing deer damage. Fences need to be at least 8 feet tall, but deer are also amazingly adept at going under fences rather than jumping over them. Deer Resistant Plants- Lists of deer resistant plants are widely available. For example, boxwoods and pears are often used in landscapes because deer will rarely eat them. Repellents- Research at the Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories has determined that there are several highly effective repellents on the market today. We have found that one or two applications of our winter repellent can protect a plant for the winter. please contact me at cherrell@bartlett. com, (540) 364-2401 or 1-877-BARTLET.

There has been a recent spike in reported pertussis (commonly referred to as whooping cough) cases among Fauquier children, according to a spokesman for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District. Since mid-September, the RRHD has investigated a total of 25 reports of pertussis illness in children from 1 to 17 years old. Last year there were 10 cases reported in the five-county health district. A press release from the RRHD states that Fauquier County Health Department staff are working closely with local health care providers, Fauquier County Schools and daycare centers (private and public) to identify, treat and exclude patients from group activities (school/daycare, sports teams, church groups etc). It is important to keep ill children away from others to prevent the spread of illness, the press release states. Additionally, the Fauquier Health Department has sent letters home with all children/students who attend daycare centers or schools with identified cases of pertussis. The majority of the recently diagnosed cases have been previously vaccinated. The effectiveness of the vaccine varies and may decrease over time. The current vaccine prevents illness for the majority of those who receive it; it also helps to prevent severe respiratory illness, hospitalizations and or death in infants and immune-compromised or elderly patients.

The press release states that pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by bacteria spread through the air in droplets from sneezing or coughing. The illness typically begins with “cold-like” symptoms-- a runny nose, sneezing, mild fever and cough. Newly infected persons are most contagious during the first week of illness, when cold-like symptoms are present. If left untreated, infected individuals may develop a more severe respiratory illness that includes coughing fits accompanied by difficulty breathing, gagging or vomiting, or a cough that is followed by a high pitched “whooping” noise as the person tries to catch his or her breath. Anyone diagnosed and being treated for pertussis should take all medications as prescribed (typically, a fiveday course of antibiotics) and stay at home, avoiding group activities for the five days. The health department also recommends keeping all infants and other high-risk individuals away from anyone with any respiratory illness, including those confirmed/suspected cases of pertussis. The best way to prevent the spread of pertussis is by vaccinating all babies, children, teens and adults that are able to be vaccinated, states the press release. The Fauquier Health Department may be reached at 540-3476400. RRHD District Epidemiologist Daniel Ferrell can be reached at 540316-6278.

Claire’s at the Depot was full Monday evening. “It’s been packed,” said John McCarthy who served as one of the evening’s celebrity bartenders. McCarthy’s pitcher was full of cash. As were many others taking turns behind the bar to serve up drinks to a thirsty crowd. All were there to share in great conversation and to raise funds by generous “tips” to the bartenders. Benefiting from the evening’s festivities is the Mental Health Association which serves Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Its mission is to promote mental wellness for all through advocacy, education and access to local mental health and substance use resources. Community Outreach Coordinator Brittany Dwyer was thrilled with the response. “We are so excited with the turnout and response from the community,” said Dwyer, noting that they are still tallying donations but, at last count, the event brought in more than $8,500. Dr. Susan Griffin, one of the celebrity bartenders, garnered the most tips. “We appreciate everyone coming out,” said Marshall Doeller. “This is a great organization.”
Dr. Robert Dart echoed Doeller’s sentiments. “They do great work.” To learn more about what they do or to find a local mental health or substance use professional in the area, visit the website at www.fauquier-mha. org or phone them at 540-341-8732.

Veterans to share oral history with students Staff Reports
The students at Southeastern Alternative School have organized an event in partnership with Hero’s Bridge. Hero’s Bridge is dedicated to serving elderly veterans, age 65 and older. They are holding an oral history for veterans on Nov. 12; they have invited veterans to speak to students in small groups and share their stories. These will be informative and intimate conversations between students and veterans. Veterans will have fought in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Starting at 10 a.m., students will be rotated through several classrooms where they will experience different veterans’ stories. Students will be able to fill out a form that determines which three veterans they will visit. Each veteran will speak for about 40 minutes. Area businesses have contributed to the lunch. After lunch, there will be the presentation of colors. Last but not least will be a pinning ceremony. This will be an extraordinary day for not just the students, but the staff and the veterans themselves, schools officials said.

BEREAVEMENT There is more to the grieving process than a single moment or short time of pain or sadness in response to loss. Bereavement, which refers to the time when an individual experiences sadness after losing a loved one, can last a year. The first phase of mourning often begins with sensations of shock and numbness, which give way to the contradictory emotions of denial and preoccupation. Often, mourners oscillate between denial and disbelief and preoccupation with the lost loved one. The second stage of grief is frequently characterized by disorganization and depression. This most painful and protracted stage of the grieving process slowly leads the way to the third and final stages of reorganization and acceptance. When a death takes place, you may experience a wide range of emotions, even when the death is expected. Many people report feeling an initial stage of numbness after first learning of a death, but there is no real order to the grieving process. MOSER FUNERAL HOME accommodates all families, treating each one as if they were our own. To learn more, please call (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton. “Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.” William Shakespeare, Macbeth
