Kaine wins big in Virginia

Democrat incumbent wins 56 percent of vote to dismiss Republican Stewart By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine was declared the early winner of his race against Republican Corey Stewart. Major news organizations called the race soon after the polls closed at 7 p.m., even as thousands remained in line at polling places across the state. Kaine, 60, campaigned vigorously across the state until the last days of the campaign. He made numerous joint appearances with Democratic candidates for Congress in Virginia, his name appearing on campaign signs more commonly with other candidates than by itself.

big wins in Virginia in 2017. “Now, another year later, we’ve turned that flicker into a bright shining beacon of hope,” Kaine added, thanking his supporters across the state. With 98 percent of the unofficial vote tallied by 10 p.m. Tuesday night, Kaine had garnered 56 percent of the vote statewide, while Stewart received just under 43 percent. More than 400,000 votes separated the two candidates, with Kaine winning the support of 1.7 million voters, while Stewart racked up 1.2 million votes.

In a statement Tuesday, Kaine called the race “a really special campaign” and quite a contrast to two years ago, in 2016, when he lost his bid for the vice presidency; he was on the ballot with Democrat Hilary Clinton. Kaine noted that things brightened for the Democrats with See KAINE, page 3 Libraries.............................................37 Lifestyle..............................................27 Looking Back......................................23 Opinion.................................................8

Republican Denver Riggleman defeated Democrat Leslie Cockburn in the race for the open 5th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, while incumbent Rep. Rob Wittman held his 1st District seat against Democratic challenger Vangie Williams. The 5th District includes most of Fauquier County while the 1st District includes the Fauquier precincts of Lois, Catlett, Morrisville and Bealeton. Riggleman carried Fauquier as well as Cockburn’s home county of Rappahannock in unofficial results Tuesday. Riggleman said he was “very grateful and humbled” by his win. “These five months have been the most awful and incredible” since he became the Republican nominee, he said.

Warrenton officials to launch search for new town manager Town council voted Oct. 30 to part ways with Godfrey

“I would think there would be a lot of applications. It’s a good job and sought after.”

By James Ivancic

COUNCILMAN ROBERT KRAVETZ Ward 4

Times Staff Writer

Warrenton Town Council could initiate a search for a new town manager soon following last week’s vote to release Brannon Godfrey early from his contract after three years of service. “I would think there would be a lot of applications. It’s a good job and sought after,” replied Councilman Robert Kravetz (ward 4) when asked if he thought council would have a difficult time filling the position. “The search could either be for an interim or a permanent or both may happen simultaneously,” Kravetz said Monday. Kravetz supplied one of the five votes to release Godfrey following a closed-door meeting on Oct. 30. Councilmen voting with Kravetz included Sean Polster (at large), Alec Burnett (ward 2), Brett Hamby (ward 3) and Kevin Carter (ward 5). Councilmen Renard Carlos (at large) and Jerry Wood (ward 1) voted against the move to termi- Brannon Godfrey nate. In an interview Tuesday, Burnett said the council and Godfrey had areas of disagreement. Godfrey “is enormously talented. There’s no question. There was no one cause that preceded our action,” Burnett said. “These things happen. I’m grateful to Brannon for his years of service. I have no doubt he’ll find success shortly. He has a number of accolades he can stand proudly on. “I would write Brannon a letter of recommendation right now,” Burnett added. But Burnett said it was felt someone other than Godfrey is needed to fulfill the council’s vision for improvements in town’s economic viability, public safety and infrastructure, Burnett said. “We need to have our eye on the future, and we need leadership who agrees with that,” Burnett said. “That ability exists. We have outstanding department heads. It’s not a question of day-to-day management.” The town manager “needs to see our vision and have a strategy” to achieve it, Burnett said. That person also “needs to be a step or a step in a half” ahead in achieving it, he said. Burnett said council spent “hours and hours and hours” in discussion before the majority felt that releasing Godfrey was “the right decision for Warrenton.” Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill, in statement released the day after the vote, said council “has decided to pursue a different direction in our executive leadership.” “We are grateful for the dedication

Mr. Godfrey showed to our town during his tenure and sincerely appreciate his efforts in the community,” the statement continued. Kravetz wouldn’t discuss the reasons for discharging Godfrey beyond what was stated in the press release.

Move comes amid search for new police chief, investigation

Town council had recently put a hold on the search for a new town police chief after receiving a letter from Commonwealth’s Attorney James P. Fisher criticizing the way the search was being handled. The letter noted Fisher was asked for his input as the search was nearing an end and the field of candidates had been winnowed. Fisher was also critical of the town’s handling of a September incident at a Warrenton bar involving off-duty Warrenton police officers that resulted in a young woman suffering a broken nose. The Virginia State Police is still investigating the incident. Wood said he didn’t think Fisher letters were “a big thing” that factored into the decision to end Godfrey’s contract early. “It was coming to a head,” Wood said. “That’s my personal view. [Godfrey] was supposed to notify us in August about renewing his contract. But council has a responsibility to follow up with him. Council has a responsibility to ask the town manager for information and remind us. We worked on the budget between January and June. Nobody on

Opioid addiction summit planned for Nov. 17 Staff Reports

The League of Women Voters of the Prince William Area will sponsor a summit on opioid addiction on Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Manassas Park Community Center. This all-day event, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will include three sessions. The program will begin with a discussion on the basics of the opioid-addiction epidemic and will include a showing of “Chasing the Dragon: the Life of an Opiate Addict,” a documentary produced by the FBI featuring the stories of real-life addicts from Northern Virginia. After the screening, a panel of addiction experts, including someone in recovery, will discuss the effects of the opioid addiction crisis in Northern Virginia, Prince William and Fauquier counties.

the finance committee or council brought up the 360 review.” Wood was referring to the “350-degree performance review” the council had agreed to conduct on Godfrey. In October, the council advertised a request for proposals from consultants to conduct the evaluation, which would include interviews with town staff members whom he supervised. In January, the council extended Godfrey’s contract for a year and added a provision for a performance review. Funds for the review weren’t included in the budget approved by council last spring, though. “This was everybody’s responsibility. If I were under scrutiny, I might not put it in the budget either. If they don’t remember to do it, why should I?” Wood said. Before the Oct. 30 vote, Wood spoke up on behalf of Godfrey, who didn’t address council himself and chose not to comment about the vote afterward. Wood listed what he considered to be Godfrey’s numerous accomplishments during his three years with the town, including the successful financing of an expansion of the town’s water and sewer system, the opening of the new dog park, the completion of several sidewalk projects and the sale of the John Mosby house. Wood called Godfrey “accessible” and a “very good ambassador” to the community. “He’s provided the council with a wealth of sound information, so we can make sound policy,” Wood said at the meeting. “Our town manager is a really good person. … I know he can’t be everything to all people. It’s a tough job, but he has my respect and I’m glad to call this guy a friend of mine.” Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/CHRIS SIX Leslie Cockburn, Democratic congressional candidate for the 5th District, met with potential voters Thursday, Nov. 1 at a “Party Before the Polls” event at Happy Creek Coffee & Tea in The Plains. She was joined by Ronnie Ross, left, who is running for the Democratic Party nomination in 2019 for the 27th District state senate seat now held by Sen. Jill Vogel.

Riggleman beats Cockburn in 5th, Wittman holds onto the 1st CONGRESS from page 1 “Their camp never quit,” he said of the Cockburn campaign. “They went all in and I can respect a campaign that goes all in.” Riggleman won the district with 54 percent of the vote to Cockburn’s 46 percent. In Fauquier County, he garnered 57 percent of the vote to Cockburn’s 42 percent. Riggleman said he believes the fact that he “works here, lives here and plays here” resonated with voters who saw him as a “radical, commonsense guy.” Riggleman, 48, served in the Air Force and previously had a government contracting business before opening a distillery in Nelson County with his wife. Riggleman touted his business experience, military service and lifelong residency in Virginia (He was born in Manassas). Less government is better, in Riggleman’s Rep. Rob Wittman view, a belief that led him to deride his opponent’s expansionist position on health-care insurance as costly and unwise. Cockburn, an investigative journalist, advocated for Medicare-for-all to allow people under the age of 65 to buy into the public health-care option and for efforts to protect the environment from the impact of climate warming, pipelines and uranium mining. She spent about a year and a half traveling the district talking to people. Both had high-profile supporters campaigning for them. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the special guest at a rally in Warrenton on the Friday before the election. Riggleman also received the endorsements of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Cockburn was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and U.S. Sen. Mark

Turnout strong in Fauquier, Prince William

Voting in Fauquier was heavy, as was the case in Prince William County. A total of 1,000 people had voted in Marshall as of 1 p.m. Marshall is within the 5th District. Connie Chintall, in charge of The Plains precinct, where voters cast ballots at Grace Episcopal Church, said that 850 people had voted as of about 12:30 p.m. Chintall said there were 33 people waiting when the polls opened. Bob Zwick, vice chairman of the Fauquier County Electoral Board, said problems on election day at the polls were “run of the mill – running out of [“I voted”] stickers, we had to send more ballots because there were more people voting. There were hiccups, but nothing that has caused Alex to resign to move to the islands,” he said of Alex Ables, the county registrar.

Wittman wins a seventh term

Wittman claimed victory with 56 percent of the vote and earned his seventh term. Williams finished with 43 percent, with 95 percent of precincts counted. In a statement, Wittman said he’ll continue his work supporting veterans, improving education, providing seniors with a secure retirement and ensuring constituents have access to a health care system that offers quality and choice. Williams was vying to be the first black woman to represent Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives. She spoke optimistically of her chances during stops at the polls.

Kaine wins big in Virginia KAINE from page 1 Fauquier County bucked the statewide totals, with 55 percent of voters picking Stewart over the Democratic incumbent. Stewart won 17,792 votes in Fauquier County, while Kaine received 13,724 votes. Two Warrenton voters who turned out to Stewart’s election eve campaign rally in Haymarket said they agreed with Stewart on nearly every issue, especially his stance against abortion and his support for strong borders. “I think Corey Stewart is more pro-Trump. That’s why we support him so much,” said Georgene Clark. “It’s not about immigration. We’d love to have everyone come as long as they come legally.” But Stewart would go on to lose big in Prince William County, where he has held the top elected post since 2006. In his home county, Stewart was about 29 percentage points behind Kaine at 10 p.m., garnering just 34 percent of the vote to Kaine’s 63.8 percent. Kaine drew a crowd of more than 300 to the Prince William County fairgrounds for a “blue wave rally” Sunday. He called for not only a blue wave across Virginia but a wave of “character, compassion, community and love” across the country. He cited the need to counter the sharp campaign rhetoric that critics of President Donald Trump say sparked a wave of domestic violence before Tuesday’s election. Kaine was joined at the rally by four Democratic candidates for Con-

gress. Only one – Vangie Williams – lost her race. Democrats Jennifer Wexton and Reps. Gerald Connolly and Don Beyer cruised to easy victories. Stewart, by contrast, campaigned mostly on his own. Dogged by his past associations with white supremacists during his 2017 campaign for governor, Stewart managed to raise only $2 million for his campaign, compared to Kaine’s more than $20 million. As a result, Stewart had less to spend on the airwaves and relied mostly on social media and radio ads. During an election-eve rally in Haymarket Monday night, Stewart promised to crack down on illegal immigration if elected. He echoed Trump, who repeatedly hit on the need to “build a wall” to keep out the migrant caravan and other illegal border crossers. Kaine’s campaign was largely a polar opposite of Stewart’s, as he spoke often of building “a Virginia that works for all.” Turnout was heavy across the state on Tuesday, despite the gray and rainy weather. During his concession speech Tuesday, Stewart thanked his supporters and said his loss was a result of “the swamp not giving up yet.” “We always knew the midterm elections were going to be very, very tough,” Stewart said. “But I want to let you know, what happened in 2016 was just the beginning. …Tonight, we hit a speed bump.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com Voters line up to get a ballot inside the church hall at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains.

VDOT proposes three new roundabouts for Warrenton By Robin Earl

Contributing Writer

Before some drivers have had a chance to adjust to the new roundabout at the intersection of East Shirley Avenue and Falmouth Street (in front of Walmart), a new roundabout proposal — times three — is on the table. Warrenton Town Councilmember Sean Polster said that representatives from the Virginia Department of Transportation approached Town of Warrenton staff on Oct. 30 about three roundabout projects in Warrenton. A grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation Highway Safety Improvement Program could provide funding. He explained the potential project is a long way off. “There are a lot of moving parts,” he said, but preliminary plans show roundabouts at these locations: • The intersection of East Lee Street, Walker Drive and Oliver City Drive. This would be a full-size roundabout. • The intersection of East Lee Street and Falmouth Street, just a few thousand feet away. This would be a mini-roundabout, like the one just finished at East Shirley Avenue and Falmouth Street. • In front of the Warrenton Courthouse on Main Street in Old

It would address traffic where Alexandria Pike, Winchester Street, Main Street and Waterloo Street converge. This would also be a mini-roundabout. The town would need to apply for a HSIP grant by the end of the year if the town council decides to move forward. Grant approval wouldn’t be finalized until mid-to-late 2019. Engineering and plan approval would be in 2020, with construction in 2021. The total cost for all three roundabouts is estimated at between $2.2 and $2.4 million, according to Polster.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Warrenton woman, 19, dies in crash Virginia State Police continues to investigate a fatal crash on Oct. 31 in Fauquier County that took the life of a 19-year-old Warrenton woman. Grace N. Stone was transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church following the crash on VA 793, south of VA 600 at 11:30 p.m. Oct. 31. She succumbed to her injuries on Nov.1, Virginia State Police said.

Stone was driving a 2000 Subaru Outback when it ran off the left side of the highway and struck a tree, police said. She was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle into the travel lane and was then struck by a passing vehicle, police said. The crash remains under investigation. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured in the crash.

Bealeton man arrested in stabbing of former roommate A 20-year-old Bealeton man was arrested Oct. 30 after his former roommate was found suffering stab wounds in an apartment on the 6300 block of Village Center Drive, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies arrived at the Bealeton apartment complex after a caller advised a man had been stabbed and was located on a second-floor stairwell landing, sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman said in a news release. Deputies located the 20-year-old male victim and a neighbor who was rendering first aid. After obtaining statements from the victim and wit-

nesses, it was determined the victim had been stabbed by a former roommate during some sort of argument or altercation. The suspect was also located on scene, the news release said. Trevor Joseph Busby, 20, of Bealeton, was arrested and charged with one felony charge of aggravated malicious wounding. Busby was held without bond in the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center at the time of his arrest. The victim was transported in stable condition to the Fauquier hospital emergency room with stab wounds to the neck and torso, the news release said.

Overnight fire damages El Toro restaurant in Warrenton Warrenton’s El Toro restaurant was closed Tuesday after an overnight fire caused extensive damage to its Broadview Avenue building. Firefighters were called to the Mexican restaurant about midnight Nov. 6 after a caller reported smoke from the rear of the building and smells consistent with an electrical fire, according to a written report of the incident by Dale Kidwell, battalion chief with Fauquier County

Fire-Rescue Emergency Management. As crews entered the building, fire began to show through the roof area, Kidwell’s report said. The fire extended into the walls and roof and took about two hours to control. The building has been deemed unsafe and has been condemned by town officials. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Officials urge Virginians to explore health-insurance options Given new rules, automatic re-enrollment may cost more in 2019 By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Need to explore health-care insurance options for next year? Maybe look for a better plan? The open-enrollment period for the 2019 health insurance marketplace under the federal Affordable Care Act runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15. Given a new federal law that makes available short-term plans that do not meet ACA requirements, Virginia has issued open-season guidelines and caveats. “The only way consumers who qualify for subsidies can ensure they will pay the correct premium for 2019 coverage is to update their federal marketplace account,” according to an Oct. 30 advisory from Virginia’s Bureau of Insurance. Plans, premiums and available subsidies change every year. Some may prove cheaper and better for individual consumer needs. Start the process at: www.healthcare.gov “Allowing automatic re-enrollment in the same or a similar plan by doing nothing is a poor choice this year,” SCC Commissioner of Insurance Scott A. White said in a news release. “Failure to act could cause you to pay significantly more than necessary [because] certain areas of Virginia have more insurance companies offering lower priced plans.” Virginia’s Bureau of Insurance advises consumers to thoroughly explore health insurance plan options, especially if considering the new short-term, limited-duration plans. Those plans do not comply with Affordable Care Act requirements and are allowed to deny eligibility for coverage, exclude pre-existing conditions, and may have daily, annual or lifetime limits on payments. Recent changes in the federal law

allow these plans to compete in the marketplace. Virginia’s Bureau of Insurance also notes the following: • Ask for details of any health insurance policy, including premiums, in writing. • For a list of ACA-approved plans for 2019, check the Bureau of Insurance website at www. scc.virginia.gov/boi/cons/index.aspx • The official website for the federal marketplace is www.healthcare.gov. Here you can find information regarding the ACA, qualified health plans and comparisons of marketplace plans. Be wary of similar sounding names or websites. • Anyone contacting you to sell individual health insurance plans after the open enrollment period ends Dec. 15 is not selling an ACA-compliant policy. • No one offering ACA-compliant health care coverage will ask you if you have a pre-existing condition. • Be wary of telemarketers from the “national enrollment center,” “national healthcare center,” or other official-sounding name. The federal government will not call to sell you health insurance. • Do not provide your Social Security number, bank account details or health information to a cold caller and never agree to any request to send money over the phone. • Purchasing insurance through an agent? Make sure that person is a licensed agent. Ask for the individual’s license number. If they refuse, do not do business with them. To check if a person

Reminder: Medicaid enrollment began Nov. 1

An estimated 1,600 residents will qualify in Fauquier Staff Reports

Who is eligible for Medicaid?

The Virginia state legislature’s action earlier this year to expand Medicaid under the federal Affordable Care Act means an additional 400,000 state residents will be eligible to receive free health-care insurance from Medicaid beginning Jan. 1. An estimated 1,600 of them live in Fauquier County, state officials say. Applications for enrollment are now being accepted. Starting Jan. 1, all adults making up to $16,700 a year — whether or not they have children — will be eligible for Medicaid. In general, Medicaid is designed for the disabled; low- and no-income adults and children; and low-income elderly residents. (See table for new income limits based on family size.) People should apply even if it appears they earn too much under the new guidelines because they might qualify for another state program. That’s especially true for those who have children, are pregnant, or have a disability.

Virginia lawmakers expanded the state’s Medicaid program to cover those making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. As of Jan. 1, low-income adults making up to $16,754 are eligible for Medicaid. For married couples and children, eligibility depends on income and family size.

$16,754 $22,715 $28,677 $34,638 $40,600 $46,562 $52,523 $58,485

$1,397 $1,894 $2,391 $2,887 $3,384 $3,881 $4,378 $4,875

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), for example, provides low-cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much money to qualify for Medicaid. Applications for Medicaid can be submitted any time of year, as Medicaid and CHIP do not have open-enrollment periods.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

More explanation needed on release of Warrenton’s town manager The surprising move to terminate the contract of Warrenton Town Manager Brannon Godfrey last Tuesday, Oct. 30, raises more questions than it answers. Certainly, the council is well within its rights to terminate the contract of its most important hire — the town manager — but the speed and method with which it was carried out raises more than a few red flags. In a statement, Mayor Carter Nevill said the decision was due to a difference in goals and objectives and followed “a careful review and assessment.” That said, the council saw fit to extend the town manager’s contract by a year last January. Granted, that was under the previous mayor, and the makeup of the council has since changed, as have some of the circumstances. But council had also moved to hire a consultant just a few weeks ago to review Godfrey’s performance. So Nevill’s comment that the decision was made after “careful review and assessment” begs the question: whose? Again, we don’t question the right of council OUR VIEW in this situation. Mr. Godfrey’s handling of the hiring of a new police chief had been questioned by Commonwealth’s Attorney James Fisher. There is also the ongoing Virginia State Police investigation into exactly what happened during a September altercation at a Warrenton bar involving off-duty town police officers and a young woman who suffered a broken nose. The closed-door session that resulted in termination of Mr. Godfrey’s contract was the second such session this month, adding to speculation and raising questions about a lack of transparency. Warrenton residents have been left mostly in the dark about why Mr. Godfrey, a person many like and respect, has been shown the door. Without sufficient information about the reasons behind the council’s decision — save a few prepared comments, vague public statements and a united front of silence — residents rightly don’t know what to think. The town council serves the people, and their constituency deserves to know the whys and wherefores. Insufficient explanation leads to inaccurate public perceptions and speculation. Whether this early termination is benign — the result of difference in vision and a wish to quickly find a replacement without a lame-duck leader, as Nevill has said — or something more is not clear. The council’s treatment of the town manager and the money they proposed to spend on a “360-degree review” of his performance were already raising eyebrows among Warrenton residents. The lack of information provided adds fuel to the fire. Town Councilman Jerry Wood spent several minutes extolling Godfrey’s achievements just before the council took its 5-to-2 vote to terminate Godfrey’s contract. His comments mentioned Godfrey’s successful financing of water and sewer system upgrades, to the opening of a new dog park, the sale of the John Mosby house and the completion of several sidewalk projects. Wood also called Godfrey “a really good person” who was “a very good ambassador to the community.” Councilman Renard Carlos joined Wood in opposing the termination of Godfrey’s contract, saying he had “some concerns” but not enough to warrant Godfrey’s termination. So what does all that mean? Who knows? And therein lies the problem. Finally, what is the effect on future hiring? Given the delays in hiring a new police chief and now this situation, it is hard not to think quality candidates won’t dismiss Warrenton as difficult place to work. Speaking of the search for a new police chief, Wood also said during the meeting that the top candidates had already removed their names from the running. Apparently, this recent turmoil has already had an effect. Perhaps Mr. Godfrey chose to resign. Perhaps some sort of agreement was reached. Perhaps everyone’s actions are well intended. Or perhaps the particulars of this situation are being closely guarded in an attempt to protect the town’s reputation. Best intentions and reality can be miles apart. We ask the mayor and town council to be more forthcoming with information in this situation. Some have begun to open up, and that is a good sign. It may be bitter medicine with short-term consequences, but transparency always serves the public best in the end.

School bus tragedies can be avoided if we work together By David Jeck You may have read or heard about the incident in northern Indiana where three children were killed by the driver who drove past a stopped bus, with lights flashing and the stop sign extended. I could not believe what I read, and cannot imagine the suffering the families must be experiencing. It is just unbelievable. We are fortunate in Fauquier County to have so many citizens who care deeply about the safety of our kids, including David Jeck those who travel our roads in the mornings and in the afternoons. We are very appreciative of the caution that is demonstrated daily; however, this year, and for reasons not known to us, bus drivers are reporting an alarming uptick in the number of vehicles driving past stopped buses with flashing lights and extended stop signs. I’ve seen the pictures and videos captured by our stop-arm cameras, and they are, frankly, stomach-turning. Fortunately, we have drivers who are vigilant in reporting offenders, and a sheriff’s office and town police department that have worked in partnership with us to ticket offenders.

I want to send a special “thankyou” to state Sen. Jill Vogel, R-27th, and Del. Mike Webert, R-18th, for working aggressively to introduce legislation that will make it easier to prosecute offenders and provide stiffer penalties. I sent letters to many state level politicians asking for assistance, and both Sen. Vogel and Del. Webert took action immediately. I also want to thank the Warrenton Town Council and Mayor Carter Nevill for sending a letter, signed by all town councilmembers, asking for assistance at the state level. Lastly, many thanks to the Fauquier County School Board and Fauquier County Board of Supervisors for supporting efforts to bring greater attention and action to this issue. These are great examples of individuals working together to solve a very serious problem. Finally, and the primary purpose of this correspondence: Please help us. Report offenders to the Fauquier County Public School’s Transportation Department: 540-422-7240, or to the Fauquier County Sherriff’s Office: 540-422-8600. Also, please continue to use caution when traveling the roads with our buses. No one gets behind the wheel intending to harm a child, but tragedies like the one that just occurred in Indiana can happen in an instant. We very much appreciate your help. The writer is superintendent of Fauquier County Public Schools.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES

Rampant rumble strips I am contacting you to express my concerns about the rumble strips recently added to some roads in the southern part of Fauquier County. About a month ago I woke up to find that the road in front of my house had rumble strips added to it. Over the course of about a week many of the roads had this safety addition made to them. Normally I would support all the safety additions to the road that are possible, but in this case I am very displeased. As a driver it has made driving more difficult. The roads in that area have many large pot holes that can be avoided by crossing the center line. The addition of the rumble strips means I now must choose whether to hit the pot holes or the rumble strips, either way putting wear and tear on my vehicle. The rumble strips are supposed to reduce head on collisions; however head on collisions are un-

common on these roads making rumble strips not very useful and a waste of money, which could have been used to fix the pot holes. Many cars that go by hit the rumble strips making a very loud noise that can be heard from inside my house. It also means most of the time when entering my driveway I must drive over the rumble strips. The worst part of this “safety improvement” was that, to my knowledge, neither I nor any other residents were asked or notified about the addition of the rumble strips ahead of time. I do not believe that the Virginia Department of Transportation is going to read this if it is printed in the Fauquier Times, but I believe that the community should know of this injustice.

What a fantastic road improvement job done on Waterloo and Wilson roads; it should be considered a model for Virginia roads. The work was completed in a timely manner, with little obstruction, and is now an absolute pleasure on which to drive. Hats off to the company that was

responsible. Come out and take a look! Or a drive! Maybe next year, Piney Mountain, Cliff Mills and or Cannonball Gate!

Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018, is a special day for two reasons. First, it is Veterans Day — a time when we thank all our military veterans for their service. Second, this date marks the centennial of the ending of World War I. Many special programs are planned for that day. One of the programs is the ringing of the bells. At precisely 11:11 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018, individuals and organizations are being asked to ring a bell for one minute. Think of the sound that this will make. Also, fly your U.S. flag on Sunday, Nov. 11, 2018. The following is a piece that I wrote to honor our veterans:

izens have responded to our nation’s call to bear arms in defense of their country. They do this as part of their responsibility as American citizens and because they love this country. They serve with distinction and honor. It makes no difference if they are an officer or an enlisted person. All have served faithfully. Together, they served as a solid long line of defense. To all of them, our country says thank you. You help safeguard our freedoms.

Support call to end violence in Yemen

Secretary of Defense James Mattis’ demand for negotiations to end the violence in Yemen is timely. Reliable news media report that around 14 million people in Yemen are on the edge of starving to death as a result of Saudi bombing. The Nazis killed six million people in the holocaust. We and our British allies support the Saudi campaign to destroy food supplies and civilians amongst their religious enemies in Yemen by providing their air force with in-flight refueling, weapons and munitions. If we help starve 14 million Yemenis to death would we be any better than the Nazis? What will the impact be on the morale of our

armed forces if we continue to support the Saudi extermination effort? If we, as citizens, do not speak out in support of Secretary Mattis’ peace call, we too will be complacent. Leo J. Schefer Warrenton

Elderly murder-suicide — putting a Warrenton tragedy into perspective By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

Aside from overgrown bushes that almost completely block a view of its entry, the Johnsons’ Warrenton home looked like any other in their neighborhood: a car in the driveway, spacious green yard, big deck in the back. But inside that house, there was suffering. Last month, the Fauquier community lost two of its elderly residents, a husband and wife, to a murder-suicide. According to close friend and former neighbor of the couple, Sadia LaRose, Linda and Clark Johnson, both 75, struggled with serious health conditions and financial woes. Known to be devoted to one another, they had told friends that when the time came, “they wanted to go together.” Based on a note left behind, it is believed Mrs. Johnson shot Mr. Johnson, and then took her own life. “Clark was in a lot of pain and he couldn’t take care of himself,” LaRose said. There was no heat in the house save some periodically donated wood for a woodstove. There was one window air-conditioning unit for three floors. One surmises life had become too hard to endure one more day.

geriatric care would include discussions about gun ownership. But that is not the case.

Guns and seniors

“One of the biggest mistakes that doctors make is not thinking about gun access,” said Dr. Colleen Christmas, a geriatric primary care physician, in an October 2018 issue of Kaiser Health News. Christmas is a neurologist and professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. As firearms are the most common method of suicide among seniors, she advocates asking every incoming patient about access to firearms “in the same nonjudgmental tone one would use to talk about seatbelts.” Christmas finds that “the conversation goes quite smoothly.” But such is not always the case. Some doctors report being told to mind their own business or get a lesson on the 2nd Amendment. In a 2014 study, 58 percent of internists surveyed reported never asking whether patients have guns at home. A patient with dementia adds another layer of challenge to preventative measures. In treating dementia patients, the American Academy of Neurology suggests that doctors consider asking about access to firearms or other weapons during a safety screen. It does not say what to do if a patient does have guns, and people with dementia “typically lack insight into their problems and protest.” Thirteen states, not including Virginia, have passed “red flag” laws allowing law enforcement and sometimes family members to petition a judge to temporarily seize firearms from gun owners who exhibit dangerous behavior. State gun laws can be found on the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence (lawcenter.giffords.org/).

What can be done?

The NIH says communities, health care providers, neighbors, family and friends all have a role in intervening to help where appropriate. Primary care providers could improve alertness for suicidal ideation and its precursors; increase screening for depression, anxiety and substance misuse; and assess access to lethal means. Faith-based and community programs could improve their contact and support of isolated elders. Medical and social services could work together to link outreach services with medical treatment and educate about aging, ageism and stigma regarding mental illness, depression and suicidal behavior. There are also myriad programs that can provide some relief and comfort that most people don’t know about. Aging.com suggests contacting social services for the elderly at multiple levels. Fauquier is served by Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services: 540-825-3100. And the PATH foundation’s Community Link in Warrenton has an extensive database of human-services contacts, both free and fee: Call Yesenia Reyes at 540-680-4146, or email yreyes@pathforyou.org. At the state level start with Virginia Office for Aging Services at 804-662-9333. The U.S. government’s Benefits.gov will walk you through questions; as will Benefitscheckup.org, provided by the nonprofit National Council on Aging. Sally Morgan, Fauquier County Mental Health executive director, provided this advice: “In general, if one has concerns about a friend or neighbor who seems to be feeling that there is no way out of pain [or troubles] and seems to be at risk of hurting themselves, I would advise that they call 911 or RRCS emergency services at 540-825-5656. Clark and Linda Johnson were found dead in their Marr Drive home on the afternoon of Wednesday, Oct. 10, when a home health-care provider called 911 about 12:31 p.m. after reading a note left on the Johnsons’ front door. May they rest in peace. May we do better by our elders.

COMMENTARY

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | November 7, 2018

Now for the hard part: Creating ‘a more perfect union’ on Nov. 8 and beyond As I compose these thoughts, the days until Tuesday’s highly anticipated midterm election are dwindling to a count of hours. And whatever I say, you will very likely be reading my words with a view of that election as a past event and not a future possibility. So what really matters is not all the pundits’ predictions of who will win and who will lose. What matters is that this election will almost certainly leave in its wake deeper disappointment and greater jubilation than we have experienced in this country since 1860, if not at any time in the more than 200 years of our re- GUEST public. COLUMN And that gets us to the real question we cannot ignore: Beginning with our first thoughts on the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, and for every day thereafter, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to retreat further into our comfort zones, even further apart at opposing political poles, where we celebrate our tribal identities while we hurl rocks at anyone who doesn’t look, think and act just like us? Or are we going to stop our petty bickering, set aside life-or-death battles over matters of no real consequence and concentrate on concerns that animate every decently humane person in this country? It all comes down to one simple fact. We are the United States of America because we wanted to be the United States of America; not because someone else made us the United States of America. Gradually, imperfectly, and, yes even today, very incompletely, we knit ourselves and our destinies together because to whatever extent we consciously recognize it, our innate sense of enlightened self-interest tells us that we gain and grow individually when we all gain and grow together. The constitution does not promise “we the people” a perfect union, it only offers us the possibility and the process to work toward a “more perfect union.” Do not be deceived. There are, always have been and always will be, foreign and domestic enemies who would like nothing better than for us to forget that simple truth. They are driven by the basest lust for power to domineer over fellow human beings. It is the lust that comes from a warped, damaged soul that mistakenly believes the universe was created exclusively to serve its impulses and desires of the moment, no matter the cost to anyone or anything else. So, regardless of the outcome of this election, how do we pick ourselves up the morning after and change our path from one that leads to self-destruction to one that leads to that more perfect union? If we want to continue to be the United States of America, to continue to perfect our union, then the way I see it, we individually and collectively have to do four things: First, wake up to the fact that we are not the center of the universe. And we

are not even here in this present life by will or act on our part. Moreover, when you look at it from the cosmic perspective, all our pretentions of ownership of our lives, our possessions and absolute control over our personal destinies are self-delusion. Let me be completely clear: I’m not in any way advocating abolition of principles of personal property and rights. Rather, I’m noting that for the limited span of years we spend in this world, we must live with the sober realization that we hold everything we presume to own in a spirit of stewardship, and that one way or another we will be judged on how we discharge that responsibility. Second, when we catalog the concerns that animate all of us we all want the same things. We all want to live in safety. We all want health and healing for our loved ones and ourselves. We all want the opportunity to succeed in life and for our children to exceed our successes in their lives. We all want to express our deepest convictions of conscience and our heartfelt opinions on matters that animate our thinking. And, we all want none of these deepest desires on the part of any of our fellow Americans to jeopardize our own safety, health and healing, opportunity to succeed, or to impinge on our freedom to follow the dictates of conscience. Third, understand the difference between the common concerns that animate us and our individual perceptions of how to satisfy those concerns. Representative democracy is designed to operate in the dynamic tension of argument and compromise over the latter, but always with the understanding that it is the former that really matters. When representative democracy divides into tribal camps engaged in zero-sum conflict exclusively over means, both representation and democracy are the first casualties of war. Fourth, two opposing sides never solved anything by meeting each other half way. When you and your opponent meet each other half way you only make contact for combat; 50/50 giveand-take becomes “I give what you take” or “I take what you give.” Real progress only happens when two opposing sides take a “75/75” approach. Think of it like a Venn diagram with a 50-percent overlap with A+B comprising the inclusive set. To continue the process of being the United States of America on the morning of Nov. 8, 2018, we need to fill that A+B set with our common concerns. This is not something “the government” can do for us. We can only do it for ourselves. We need to sit down and talk, not stand up and shout other people down. And make no mistake: anyone on the left or the right who divides us by fear of “the other,” or who insists political ideology prioritizes means over ends, is only looking out for their interests, not ours. Furthermore, if we let our desire for political retribution get the better of us we have already lost. And the cost of that loss is too great to imagine.

Created with care Catlett entrepreneur launches environment-friendly skin care line By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Doris Bitler Davis became interested in making bath and body products several years ago, mostly because “it combines two of my abiding passions, science and creativity,” she said. Davis launched into learning the properties of different ingredients and began to formulate products, sharing the results with family and friends. Their enthusiasm for her creations led to her husband, Kirk Davis, and her mother, Lois Bitler, to help her start a business. Davis began work with her family to make the products while she perfected the formulas. “We started out at our farm in Catlett in a small, 1960s travel trailer,” Davis said. “But in 2017, we moved to Warrenton. Our home has a second kitchen and storage area where we keep ingredients and make our products. We got the paperwork in order and Watery Mountain Essentials officially opened for business in May 2018.” From the start, Watery Mountain Essentials was a family affair. They worked together to make and package the products and attended events as a group. They also were thrilled that they quickly gained a loyal following of customers. “The sad part of this story,” Davis said, “is that my husband, Kirk, who was instrumental in taking us from hobby to business, passed away at the end of August after a brief illness. He and I dated when we were in high school in New Jersey, then went our separate ways. He found me on Facebook in 2010 and drove up from his home in Georgia to visit. “Kirk was ecstatic about how well our products were received. He loved talking with our customers and the other vendors and was exceptionally proud of our products. Honestly, after he died, I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue, but his passion and desire to make a difference through our products drove me to carry on.” Watery Mountain Essentials’ slogan is, “We care about people, animals and the planet” and that provides the company’s guiding principle. They believe everyone should have access to high-quality bath and body products at a fair price, which ranges from $1 for travel soap to $12 for hair conditioner.

Doris Bitler Davis is at the helm of her family-run business, Watery Mountain Essentials. The products include beeswax hand and foot cream, body wash, bubble bath, lip balm, lotion, soap and shampoo. All are made fresh in small batches from carefully sourced ingredients. Stephanie Miller of The Plains loves the shampoo, conditioner and soap and includes the hand soap at her sinks. “My favorite is the conditioner,” she said. “It really helps with dry, curly hair.” Davis said, “We’ re scrupulously honest in our labeling.” She’s created guidelines and definitions for customers at events and on her website that provide additional information about all their ingredients. “We try to demonstrate our commitment to people in every aspect of our business,” Davis said. “So, our ingredients and other supplies come almost exclusively from U.S.-based, family-run and/or women-owned small businesses.” Since animals large and small are cherished creatures in this area, all the elements and creations are never tested on them. Most of the products are vegan-friendly, the only exceptions being those that include honey, beeswax or goat milk. “This was a bigger challenge than

expected,” Davis said, “since some ingredients can be obtained from either animals or plants. An example is panthenol (Vitamin B5), which is wonderful for both skin and hair. I had to contact many suppliers before finding one with a mindset similar to my own who could guarantee their panthenol is derived from only plant-based sources. “Finally, environmental issues should be a concern for all of us,” Davis added. “After lengthy and careful consideration, we decided to include palm oil in our soaps, but we

only use it certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. Davis is currently considering ways to reduce packaging, including the formulation of solid shampoo, conditioner and lotion bars that wouldn’t require plastic containers. “The ingredients we use are derived from sustainable sources and have little to no environmental impact,” she said.

Free checking, iconic Middleburg fox to return with Union Bank merger By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer

The Middleburg Bank, an institution of the picturesque village since it opened in 1924, will have a new name and offer customers more options when its merger with Richmond-based Union Bankshares and Access/Middleburg Bank is complete next year. The combined bank, Union Bank & Trust, will create the leading Virginia-based regional bank when a planned systems conversion is complete, currently projected for the second quarter of 2019, according to John Asbury, Union’s president and CEO. The new name also will be accompanied by other significant changes that should be welcome, particularly in Middleburg. When Middleburg Bank merged with Reston-based Access Bank in October 2016, many patrons were unhappy with a change that required minimum balances in their checking accounts for the first time as well as new fees on other services and the elimination of Saturday hours. Access president Mike Clarke said last year that 4,000 of Middleburg Bank’s 42,000 clients had closed their accounts, a figure other bank

sources estimated to be closer to 6,000. A number of employees also left the bank, many of them weary of dealing with client complaints. Union Bank & Trust has five different types of personal checking accounts, all of which include free online and mobile banking, free debit cards and discounts on personal loans, Asbury said. “Free checking, with no monthly service charge or minimum balance requirement, is one of our most popular checking options,” Asbury wrote in an email, calling it “a core component to our product offerings.” “Union even has a tool that will help customers determine which account is the best for them based on the features of the account that they are interested in,” he added. Some Middleburg Bank patrons both in Middleburg and at nearby branches in Warrenton, Leesburg and Purcellville, were also unhappy

when after the merger with Access because of the elimination of Saturday hours, both in the lobby and outside drive-thru windows, as well as a shortening of evening drive-thru hours during the week. Union Bank & Trust operates 140 branches throughout Virginia and portions of Maryland and North Carolina. Many locations have lobby and/or drive-thru locations open on Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon. Typical weekday hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended Friday hours in many locations to allow commuters to do business after work. Those same hours are expected to be instituted at all Middleburg Bank locations, including the anchor home office in the village, after the merger is consummated next year, Asbury said. After the merger, Union also plans to re-brand its wealth-management services under the Middleburg brand, Asbury said. “Union recognizes the long history and recognition that has been established by the Middleburg franchise. As recognition of this value, Union has elected to re-brand its wealth management services (Union Investment Services, Union Trust, Union Wealth) under the Middleburg brand,” he said. “Consequently, Middleburg In-

vestment Service and Middleburg Trust will be used throughout the entire system and Union Wealth/ Union Trust will be retired,” he added. “The [Middleburg Bank’s] longtime fox logo will be used for these divisions system-wide.” The merger of Union Bankshares and Access/Middleburg was announced in early October. Once the merger goes through, its combined assets will be $16 billion with deposits of $11.9 billion and loans of $11.4 billion based on financial data as of June 30, 2018. “The new Union will have the strength and convenience that underlies a larger bank but [will] retain our strong commitment to enriching the lives and communities we serve,” Asbury wrote. “We will offer a unique value to our customers – one that no other bank in our footprint offers. The merger agreement has been approved by the board of directors of each company. They’re expect to complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2019, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Jennifer Adgate and the Falcons are three wins from their first Class 4 title.

Fauquier eliminates Heritage in four to reach state quarterfinals By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Stymied at the regional level for years, Fauquier’s volleyball squad is headed to the Class 4 state tournament. The Falcons (20-4) dispatched visiting Dulles District runnerup Heritage, 25-12, 20-25, 25-17, 25-23, Monday night in the Region 4C semifinals. Fauquier travels to face four-time defending state champion Loudoun County on Wednesday in the regional finals. Even with a loss to long-time nemesis Loudoun County, Fauquier is guaranteed a berth in Saturday’s state quarterfinals against either Blacksburg or Jefferson Forest, the Region D finalists. The sites and times are to be determined. Fauquier entered the region finale with a ninematch winning streak. “I’m in shock,” Fauquier coach Diana Story said after her unit fended off a dogged rally. Fauquier, the Northwestern District champion, appeared headed for a comfortable win in the clinching fourth set. The Falcons led 20-14 before the Pride’s Julia Silva Gleason ran off six points for a 21-20 Heritage lead. Her next service was inches too long to tie the score, which handed the ball back to the Falcons.

Monday’s win over Heritage put the Falcons in the Class 4 state tournament. Fauquier (20-4) faces either Jefferson Forest or Blacksburg on Saturday in the state quarters. On Wednesday, Fauquier visits Loudoun County in the Region D final. The Falcons are the first Fauquier County volleyball team to make states since Kettle Run made the 3A semifinals in 2014. “When we got that side out, that’s all it took,” Story said later. The teams split the next four points before senior Megan Constantino stepped to serve with the score 23-23 and proceeded to close out the match. Both points came off resounding kills by Kiki Scott. “The last part of that game really shows the mental strength of these girls,” said Story, adding the adrenalin factor was on her team’s side at the end. “They knew they had to settle in and finish it then.” Fauquier’s departure from the game plan led to the second-set loss and Heritage’s fourth-set run, the coach said. Heritage is known as a skilled blocking team, so the plan was to circumvent that strength.

“That’s why we knew we had to move the ball around and over them. We couldn’t go through them,” she added. The Heritage front line often recorded consecutive blocks when the Falcons deviated from that strategy, raising the visitors’ energy level and hopes. Fauquier held a 14-6 first-set margin following Rachel Crowe’s eight-point surge that featured two solo blocks by Jennifer Adgate and a combined effort by Adgate and Jules Oravec. Heritage broke an 18-18 tie to take the second set, as its blocking prowess nullified Fauquier’s attack. Molly Ayres registered an early four points to stake her squad to a 10-6 margin in the third set. Heritage was never closer than five points afterward.

Fauquier rolls to tourney crown By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Top seeded Fauquier fought off several serious charges by No. 2 Millbrook 25-18, 25-22, 22-25, 25-14 last Thursday to win the Northwestern District tournament final. Fauquier needed five sets in both regular-season encounters with the Pioneers, rallying from 2-1 deficits in both. This time a senior-laden team won in less time. “They are very volleyball smart

as unit. I literally don’t have to say anything between sets because they have already said it,” said coach Diana Story, whose Falcons last won a district/conference tournament title in 2015 as a member of the former Conference 22. The champions opened the first set strongly despite trailing 5-4 early. Rachel Crowe then ran off five straight points, fueled by three consecutive kills by Molly Ayres as the Falcons won the set 25-18. Millbrook opened a 7-2 gap in the second set by blocking three Falcon

spike attempts. So the Pioneers were excited, but that thrill soon dissipated when the Falcons went to work. “These girls don’t panic,” Story praised. “Volleyball is about peaks and valleys. That was a huge factor in that match.” Story admitted she allowed herself to relax for a few moments as Crowe’s two points upped the lead to 22-14 in the final set. Oravec served the final two points to commence the celebration. See VOLLEYBALL, Page 22

Liberty overcomes Falcons 41-24 to win 16th straight Bird Bowl By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

In a historically bad season for Fauquier, the Falcons still came to play. That wasn’t good enough, as a Liberty team that knew it wasn’t going to the playoffs shrugged off Fauquier’s strong second quarter surge to win the Bird Bowl 41-24 and put the final nail in the Falcons’ depressing 0-10 season. Looking nearly unstoppable on offense, the happy Eagles (5-5) scored 19 straight second half points on a balmy Thursday night in Bealeton. “It’s a big win, 16 years in a row,” said senior running back Darrion Allen. As the sounds of “MVP, MVP, MVP,” sounded from his teammates, Eagle quarterback Raymond Morton soaked in the happiest moment of an up-and-down year. “Last game, that’s how I wanted to close it out,” said Morton, named Liberty’s Bird Bowl MVP. Morton ran more than usual, and was lethal with 12 rushes for 109 yards and two touchdowns. He completed 7-of-11 passes for 132 yards and a 16yard TD strike to Justin Lawson. The Eagles built a quick 15-0 lead but the Falcons fought back to make it 15-9 at halftime, providing hope

for their first win over the Eagles since a non-Bird Bowl win in 2007. Coach Joe Prince’s Falcons controlled the clock in the first half as they set the stage for a return to relevance in 2019. “We showed a lot of grit all year,” said Prince. “We got inside the 10, but

we could not score. And they ‘bigplayed’ us which has hurt us all year.” Fauquier’s Bird Bowl MVP was sophomore quarterback J.T. Diehl, who skillfully directed three touchdowns. He completed 5-of-7 passes for 108 yards and two TDs, both to Kyle Dargis. He also ran 16 times for 63 yards and a TD. The Falcons stuck to their old-fashioned game plan with dogged persistence as backs DeAndre Chavis, Darryl Mayfield, Darrius Dauenhauer, Hershel Rinker and Diehl slowly plunged forward for short gains.

THAT’S MORE LIKE IT, FELLAS Falcon boys roar into Saturday’s Class 4 state meet By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Fauquier cross country coach Quentin Jones felt his boys lacked pre-meet concentration before a third place finish in the Oct. 24 Northwestern District championships. “How are you going to respond to that?” was a prominent question leading into the Region 4C championships at Oatlands on Oct. 30. “The response was ‘We want to do one more race.’ We’ve got a bunch of seniors in that group, and they don’t want it to end,” said Jones, whose Falcons took second to qualify for Saturday’s Class 4 state meet at Great Meadow. Fauquier’s second place tied a 2014 school re-

Loudoun Valley easily won the top spot, scoring a perfect 15 points by claiming the first five individual slots. Fauquier was next at 101 to 113 for a strong Dominion crew. Senior Nick Matthews again led Fauquier. The district individual gold medalist traversed the hilly Oatlands Plantation course in 16 minutes, 40 seconds to take seventh in the 60-runner fieldtying for the best Fauquier boys placement in at least 19 years. Brian Bolles (15th, 17:24), John Paccassi (22nd, 17:50), Kyle St. Clair (32nd, 18:08), Stephen Hiner (33rd, 18:12), Ryan Godfrey (38th, 18:14) and Mark Zitzmann (50th, 19:11) completed the Falcon entry. Liberty’s Sam Rodman, the district’s No. 4 finisher, was 49th in the boys race at 19:05.

Falcon girls place fifth

Fauquier’s girls ran to fifth following a fourthplace showing at the district level and missed states. Loudoun Valley also won that title with 32 points, with Millbrook (66), Woodgrove (81), James Wood (85) and Fauquier (135) next in line. Senior Bianca Cabral was the first Falcon girl to finish the 5,000-meter race, taking 23rd out of 56 harriers in 21:22. The other Fauquier competitors were Annie Del Gallo (28th, 21:56), Shelby Rosenberger (30th, 21:58), Eva Del Gallo (34th, 22:21), Lynsey Patterson (46th, 22:59), Aubrey Fernandez (47st, 23:00) and Kelsey Gastley (48th, 23:04). Loudoun Valley’s Elise Abbe was the winner by 20 seconds at 18:57.

Fauquier’s field hockey season ended in a 5-1 loss to top seed Riverside in the Region 4D semifinals. Riverside broke an early 1-1 tie with two goals for a 3-1 halftime lead, then added a pair of second-half scores in the Oct. 30 game. The Rams (17-1) struck first, but the Falcons (11-6) quickly retaliated when junior Lucy Arnold sent a hard pass to sophomore Abby McCusker in front of the cage. McCusker directed the ball into the goal to make it 1-1. “We scared them when we came back and scored,” said FHS coach Brooke Settle. “The bottom line was if we could have gotten into the circle more, we could have scored more. Don’t think their defense has been challenged much. When we did get through, the opportunities were there.” Riverside, No. 3 in The Washington Post rankings, downed Heritage, 2-1, for the region title on a goal in the final minute of regulation. The Rams and Heritage (15-3) both made states, with Riverside hosting Region B runner-up Eastern View (15-3) Tuesday in a Class 4 quarterfinal. Heritage visited Region B champ Chancellor (13-6) in the other area quarterfinal. Fauquier and Riverside met last fall in the region’s quarterfinals with Riverside ending Fauquier’s season with a 4-3 win. Riverside has been better this year, outscoring foes 101-9. “With the team I have, I think we could have given them a much closer game if we were a total turf team,” said Settle, noting Riverside has a artificial turf field. “Playing on turf every single day makes a huge difference.” Most of the winners’ goals came off penalty corner situations due to quick ball movement and rocket shots from just inside the 16-yard circle. “When you have a team that can execute those corner drives, there’s nothing you can do about it,” Settle said. “They are hard, great shots, so you’ve got to not allow corners. “We couldn’t do that.” Fauquier finished 11-6 with nine shutouts and a 38-20 goal advantage. A small core of players will return following the graduation of eight seniors.

‘I’m honored’

12-year-old Fauquier rider wins trophy at Washington International Award honors late Laura Pickett By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

A local junior was recognized for “commitment to excellence in horsemanship that brings out the best in horse and rider” with the Laura Pickett Memorial Award at the Washington International Horse Show. Beatrice VanSant, who turns 13 next week, has been a rider and hands-on equestrienne since she was 3. “I’m really honored,” said the Hill School seventh grader. “It’s one thing to win ribbons and trophies in show classes. But this was more than that.” In 2012, show president Vicki Lowell founded a special award in memory of longtime friend and trainer Laura Pickett, who died from breast cancer that year at 52. Inspired by Pickett’s enthusiasm for life and learning, Lowell created the prize to reward enthusiasm for horsemanship, as much as riding. Pickett taught at Maryland’s Rolling Acres Farm for many years focusing on adults and upand-coming young riders. “She also foxhunted and often took young students on adventures to local shows, hunter trials and hunter paces,” Lowell said, citing Pickett’s generosity in sharing her passion for horses. “She (gave) timid riders confidence. She had a tremendous sense of humor and a can-do attitude.” The award in her name “recognizes riders who exemplify everything Laura valued.” “Excellence in horsemanship means more than getting on and piloting around eight jumps,” added VanSant’s mother, Leslie. “It means you can care for your own pony or horse, and care about the other riders. There are a lot of skills these kids learn in the horse world that serve them in the future.”

Standout pony rider Beatrice VanSant, 12, of Atoka won the Laura Pickett Award at the Washington International Horse Show for “excellence in horsemanship.” Horses and competition teach communication, and how to deal with both triumph and disappointment, she said. Riders gain poise and confidence from day-to-day working with animals, and through working with people of all ages. VanSant rode Shelly Hazel’s large pony, Ladybug, in the regional pony finals during the Washington show, and it was during the preliminary rounds that the selection panel observed and judged some 15 Pickett Award nominees, designated by pink ribbon armbands. Lowell said she observed VanSant helping her friends back at the barn, and saw her help trainer Ginia Wilbrandt and other riders from her MEA Haven Farm ringside. “Beatrice came highly recommended by Robin Wilder, a WIHS board member and a good friend of Laura Pickett,” Lowell said. “Though very young, she (is) a hard worker. She demonstrated a professional and poised demeanor. I was impressed with her composure and knowledge.” Riders are nominated by friends, family or trainers. Judges, gate crew, the show secretary,

show manager and a member of the Pickett family evaluate candidates and select a winner. “Beatrice represents the qualities Laura represented to so many of us,” Lowell said. In addition to the perpetual trophy, Van Sant won a custom show jacket donated by Charles Ancona. VanSant trains with Ginia Wilbrandt in Aldie for the show ring and with Haley Walsh at Daffodil Hill near Middleburg for hunting with the Middleburg-Orange County Beagles and Piedmont Foxhounds. Her mother, Leslie, is chief philanthropy officer of the Rainforest Trust; father, Wayne, is manager of Trappe Hill Farm in Upperville, and a farrier. The family lives in Atoka. Beatrice VanSant is part of the mentoring program at Hill that pairs older students with younger ones to build connections through shared art and science projects and sports activities. Van Sant isn’t the first local winner of the Pickett Award – Upperville junior Louise Whitner won in 2014.

Gegi Winslett will teach indoor jumping clinics Nov. 14 and 28 at Blue Top Farm in Nokesville. All levels of horse and rider are invited to take part. Jump crew is needed to help put up and take down grids and courses, with hourly pay and free auditing. Email thewinslettadvantage@gmail.com.

Charlie Hall contributed his engineering and design expertise. Also joining the committee was sculptor Rick Hart of Hume, whose works included the statue of “The Three Servicemen” at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and works of sculpture on the west facade of the National Cathedral in Washington. Jay Hall Carpenter, a young sculptor who had worked with Hart on the Vietnam Memorial statue and at the National Cathedral, assisted with the design and production of the 40foot bronze railing for the front of the memorial, which depicts American servicemen marching rout-step during the 1991 Gulf War.

It comes as no surprise that the national observance of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I coincides with the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Fauquier Veterans Memorial on Hospital Hill in Warrenton. The site of Warrenton’s Veterans Day ceremonies since Nov. 11, 1993, the unique structure represents both a tribute to those who have served our country, as well as an expression of recognition and thanks by the community that built it. A large memorial situated on the “military crest” of Hospital Hill, it features a terrace marked by an inlaid five-pointed star, stone walls and a large flagpole and garrison-size American flag. Illuminated at night, the flag flies 24 hours a day. A Wall of Honor made of stone plaques lines the back of the memorial, upon which the names of U.S. armed service members who died in the service of our country since 1900 are carved – more than 170 in all. They include those who died in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, in the Line of Duty, and in the War on Terrorism. The concept of building a memorial honoring Fauquier County veterans originated with the late David C. Gerrish Sr., a former resident of Orlean who was inspired by a memorial he had seen in Meriden, Connecticut. In March 1988, he met with Rosser Payne, Jim Rankin, Greg Wroniewicz and me. Discussions began on how and where to build “…a highly visible American flag memorial, of significant proportions, located at a prominent site in the Town of Warrenton, Virginia,” according to the mission statement. The core members of the Fauquier Veterans Memorial committee soon added Roland Tapscott, Chris Anthon, Carol Blair and H. Dudley Payne Jr., who became chairman after Mr. Gerrish left the area in 1990. In order to accept tax-deductible donations, the Fauquier Veterans Memorial was incorporated as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit. Soon afterward, two more prominent Fauquier County residents were

The work begins

The November 1993 dedication ceremony opened with a flyover by four Virginia Air National Guard F-16 fighters. During the Fauquier Veterans’ Memorial dedication on Nov. 11, 1993, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown presents a medal and certificate to Bill and Margaret Lee Benner, honoring Bill’s father John Benner, Fauquier County’s last WWI veteran, who died just the week before.

After considering locations in town and outside of town, the Fauquier Hospital offered to provide a site on the hill facing northeast, just below the main buildings. Later, the hospital coordinated its major renovation activities with the construction of the memorial. Raising the money to build the memorial was a critical task, and a team consisting of Anne Hall, Marshall Wallach, Church Matthews, Chris Anthon, Dave Gerrish Jr. and Chairman Payne immediately went to work. Over many months, they spoke at community meetings, made countless phone calls and met one-on-one to raise the nearly $150,000 needed to complete the project. In addition, local contractors and materials suppliers were asked to make in-kind donations and many did so. An integral part of the memorial is the Wall of Honor. Finding the names of Fauquier County’s heroes took research into contemporary newspaper accounts, books, the National Archives and personal contacts. As part of the dedicaSee MEMORIAL, Page 24

Fauquier Veterans Memorial marks 25 years MEMORIAL, from Page 23 tion, a special issue of the Fauquier Times-Democrat was published, listing the names of the heroes, and when it could be found, details of their service – and sacrifice. Construction of the Fauquier Veterans Memorial began in the fall of 1992 and was nearly finished by the end of October 1993. One of the last tasks was the installation of the bronze railing, which was lowered into place on Oct. 29.

The dedication

The dedication ceremony committee included the commanders of Fauquier County’s American Legion and VFW posts and others and was led by Edward E. Dauster. The afternoon of Nov. 11, 1993, was clear and cool, and a large crowd was assembled there. Members of the families of those named on the Wall of Honor had been sent special invitations and seating, and the Fauquier High School Marching Band provided music. Promptly at 4 p.m., the dedication opened with a low-level flyover of four F-16 jets of the 192nd Fighter Group, Virginia Air National Guard (Lt. Col. Dave Gerrish Jr.’s outfit). Members of the FVM were recognized, including Chairman Emeritus David C. Gerrish Sr., and the tradition of placing a wreath at the base of the Wall of Honor by the lo-

Honorary Committee Co-Chairmen U.S. Sens. John W. Warner and Charles S. Robb spoke followed by the keynote speaker, Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown. Closing remarks were made by H. Dudley Payne Jr. “Through the generosity of our citizens, our town and county governments and the Fauquier Hospital, we have been able to create a memorial honoring our living veterans, and the memories of those who have fallen in the service of our country.” A rifle salute and playing of Taps ended the ceremony – as it has every year since then.

been the responsibility of the FVM committee to maintain the memorial, working closely with the Fauquier Hospital, which has generously provided for the lighting and general oversight. Flags have to be periodically “trimmed” for damage or replaced, and last year, a new flagpole was installed by the committee. However, with the passage of time, most of the original committee members have moved on or passed away. Since the dedication, the Fauquier Veterans Council – consisting of the five current post commanders – has handled the Veterans Day ceremonies on a rotating schedule. Currently serving as American Legion post commanders are Larry Washington (360), Claude Davenport (72), and Joanne Smoot (247); and Veterans of Foreign Wars post commanders Jeff Dombroff (9835) and Russell Claar (7728). Soon, the Fauquier Veterans Memorial will be turned over to the Fauquier Veterans Council, whose members will become the new directors – ensuring that the traditions shared there will continue, and even grow.

Veterans Day 2018 in Warrenton

In observance of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, Fauquier County’s American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts will honor the men from Fauquier County who lost their lives in that conflict as part of their Veterans Day ceremony, on Sunday, Nov. 11. The event will take place at the Fauquier Veterans Memorial on Hospital Hill in Warrenton. Veterans are invited to gather at the Bistro on the Hill at 10:45 a.m. for the march to the memorial. Music will be provided by the combined Fauquier, Liberty and Kettle Run high school band, and members of a local Girl Scout troop will lead the Pledge of Allegiance. Guest speakers will be John Heckman, the “Tattooed Historian,” who will speak on the brutal trench warfare of WWI, and Lt. Col. Cat Schwetke, retired U.S. Air Force, will offer insight on women in the military. There will be a reading of the names of all 43 men from Fauquier County who lost their lives in WWI, presented by local Boy Scouts, and a wreath-laying at the base of the memorial’s Wall of Honor, where those names have been recorded for posterity. The ceremony will end with a 21-gun salute and the playing of taps. Churches in Warrenton and elsewhere in the county will join other churches in the United States ringing their church bells for one minute at 11 a.m., recalling the end of the war 100 years ago.

‘They fought for us. We fight for them.’

Collaborative effort aims to record veterans’ stories for history By Debbie Eisele

Special to the Times

Dedicated to serving veterans age 65 and older, Hero’s Bridge co-founders Molly Brooks and Dave Benhoff collaborated with Warrenton VFW Post 9835 members Bruce Campbell and Jennifer Bowman to help preserve local veterans’ experiences and support the Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Campbell and Bowman recently became aware of this initiative through their connection with Hero’s Bridge and their monthly veterans’ socials at the Villas at Suffield Meadows. During the May 9 social, one resident, U.S. Air Force retiree Paul Infeld, said, “This is important history,” and asked about the Library of Congress program. Hero’s Bridge and Warrenton VFW Post 9835 have been documenting history ever since. Once familiar with the Library of Congress project guidelines, both Campbell and Bowman began recording interview sessions with veterans in June. Now both are ambassadors of the Honor Guard program for Hero’s Bridge, a collaborative effort designed to honor aging veterans. The Honor Guard program also assists in replacing lost medals and records, and conducts ceremonies to recognize World War II, Korea and Vietnam veterans for their service. So far, Campbell and Bowman have identified

Twelve veterans, who reside at the Villas, are World War II veterans, and four are Korean War veterans. Campbell and Bowman have already collected and submitted recordings to the Library of Congress for five of the interviews. These featured veterans will have their information available soon on the Library of Congress website. Copies of the recordings are also provided to the individuals or their families. “This project is vital for older veterans, it is an opportunity to provide historically important information about what happened to these veterans,” said Bowman, a Cold War veteran, who, along with her father, has agreed to participate. “My dad served at the Pentagon during the Korean War. He is now 90 years old and realizes the importance of sharing information about that time in our history. Once these veterans pass away, so do their stories.” Campbell said, “This is a wonderful experience for me. I am able to personally connect with the veterans I am interviewing, and it provides a

sense of purpose to those sharing their stories.” Campbell is a Vietnam veteran and his 99-yearold father, an Air Force veteran of WWII, has agreed to share his stories. “Some of us came home to a time when there was a lot of anti-war feelings, and it was not an easy transition. Through these efforts, I am able to show veterans they are indeed appreciated, and their service mattered and still matters today,” said Campbell. Hero’s Bridge and Warrenton VFW Post 9835 hope to grow this initiative, and this collaborative team wishes to engage more older veterans who live at home and in assisted living or nursing facilities to participate. Sharing and recording the vets’ experiences honors them and their families, ensuring so many of the important historical events and experiences are available for generations to come. If anyone is interested in volunteering to assist with this project or knows of an ideal candidate to interview, they may email outreach@herosbridge. org for more information.

How can you help?

All volunteers who conduct interviews are required to adhere to the Library of Congress guidelines and have the necessary equipment to meet their submission standards. Both Bowman and Campbell purchased their own equipment, and Hero’s Bridge is seeking grants for future purchases to increase the number of volunteers able to conduct the interviews. Anyone interested in donating to Hero’s Bridge in support of this program, visit www.herosbridge.org. Debbie Eisele is the community outreach coordinator for Hero’s Bridge.

Last chance to visit private Vietnam War Museum in Ruckersville Staff Reports Craig LeMountain’s private Vietnam War Museum will be open for its 10th and final Veterans Day this year. Starting in 2019, the museum will be expanding and relocating to Nelson County. The new facility will include exhibits on the Gulf War and Afghanistan. This museum is only open by appointment except for a few open house events each year. “The Vietnam Experience” presented by the Vietnam Museum Foundation is one like no other and your visit will be a time to remember. The foundation was established to honor all who served in uniform during the official Vietnam Era, and the collection is poignantly displayed in settings developed and created by the members. It affords veterans the opportunity to revisit their assignment

It provides all visitors the opportunity to experience a time in history that is too often forgotten. “It may bring a tear to a veteran’s eye, bring back memories for the generation of that time, educate the generation that hasn’t been taught about the war in school and it is guaranteed to amaze everyone,” according to a museum news release. This is a rain-or-shine event and will be the final viewing at this location. “Cruisin’ for Heroes,” classic car enthusiasts, will have vintage vehicles on display.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RATES AND TO REVISE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GAS SERVICE CASE NO. PUR-2018-00131 •Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA”) has applied for authority to increase rates and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service. •CVA requests an increase to its total revenue requirement of $22.2 million. •A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on April 23, 2019, at 10 a.m. •Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. On August 28, 2018, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”) filed an application with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings, requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of February 2019, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to gas service (“Application”). In its Application, CVA indicates that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company’s non-gas base revenues by approximately $22.2 million per year, which includes approximately $8 million currently being collected by the Company outside of base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (“SAVE”) plan (“SAVE Plan”) pursuant to Code § 56-603 et seq. (“SAVE Act”). CVA states that it is proposing to include recovery of the costs associated with approximately $67.5 million of net rate base SAVE investments as of December 31, 2018, in base rates, as permitted by the SAVE Act. Further, the Company indicates that its proposed revenue requirement incorporates the income tax savings from the federal Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the federal corporate income tax from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. CVA asserts that its Application is in compliance with the Commission’s Order dated April 25, 2018, in Case No. PUR-2018-00005. CVA states that the requested increase in annual non-gas base revenues reflects its costs and revenues for the test year ended December 31, 2017; the increase in the Company’s rate base since its last base rate increase in 2016; an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 10.95%; and certain rate year adjustments that “reasonably can be predicted to occur” during the 12 months ending January 31, 2020 (“Rate Year”), as permitted by Code § 56-235.2; as well as certain customer benefits described in the Application. In the Application, CVA represents that in the time since it was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has made significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system for the benefit of customers and to accommodate steady customer growth. CVA states it will have invested more than $300 million in capital expenditures on behalf of its customers from the beginning of 2017 through the end of 2019. The Company asserts that, of this amount, it will invest over $110 million in modernization through its SAVE Plan and approximately $130 million to support growth on the CVA system. In its Application CVA states that, in the time since the 2016 Rate Case, the Company has also continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system (“DIMP”) by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. CVA indicates that, apart from DIMP initiatives, the Company conducts other operations and maintenance activities focused on further enhancing the safety of CVA’s infrastructure, its employees, and the communities it serves. CVA asserts that, during the Rate Year, it expects to continue safety-related initiatives including (i) implementation of a Pipeline Safety Management System; (ii) remediation of post1971 shallow transmission mains and remediation of unplanned exposures on distribution mains; (iii) maintenance and repair of measurement and regulation stations; (iv) enhanced emergency response; and (v) enhanced right-of-way maintenance. According to the Company, the proposed rate increase would increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.4 dekatherms from approximately $74.32 to approximately $79.93, or by 7.55%. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on April 23, 2019, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the Application from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff.

From Warrenton with love Local business owners make a global difference By Coy Ferrell

Contributing Writer

There is a town in northeast Haiti called Terrier Rouge. It holds a special place in the hearts of a growing number of Warrentonians. On the surface, there is a sharp contrast between the two towns. Warrenton exists in one of the wealthiest regions of the world’s largest economies. Terrier Rouge faces profound economic and social challenges, even for a country recovering from centuries of brutal slavery, endless dictatorships and natural disasters. The political situation is now stable, but the aftershocks remain. On a more basic, human level, the two towns are much the same, says Tony Tedeschi in his office at Piedmont Press & Graphics. One of several Warrenton residents who has visited this region of Haiti, he speaks in a soft-spoken manner that conveys gravity and urgency, especially when he cares deeply about something. He cares deeply about Terrier Rouge. Residents of Terrier Rouge, “are more in tune to everybody, to each other than we are. But I just think … they’re the Warrenton of Haiti. They’re a rural community outside of a bigger city. Folks are doing their best to get by and raise their families.” Most news coverage of Haiti, he says, focuses only on disasters and poverty. Tedeschi believes deeply in an alternative narrative, inspired by the resilience of the people he’s come to know. He has visited Terrier Rouge six times, and his faith in the town’s people has solidified with each trip. “Imagine what they could do with that!” is his constant refrain. “[Haitians] can solve the issues that they have, they just need a better education system and some basic support to get there.” Sitting at lunch in Terrier Rouge, Tedeschi makes a list of items he can bring on his next visit. He’s constantly evaluating how to best lend a hand, to provide that “basic support” that he believes can make all the difference. The primary figure in Terrier Rouge, whose quiet charisma has inspired so many American visitors and local residents alike, is Jean Bruno, a retired Haitian Episcopal priest who is the president of Esperance et Vie (Hope and Life), a nongovernmental organization that defines

From Warrenton with love: Local business owners make a global difference HAITI, from 27 they arise. It is a holistic approach to problems that have permeated every corner of society here. Little by little, the work has paid off. Moseline Belrive and Rischy Pierre, two of the students in that original class at Saint-Barthélémy, are starting their second of six years studying medicine in the Dominican Republic. They both grew up in Terrier Rouge, and their families are still there. They both want to come back to Haiti after they graduate to work in the clinic, maybe run for office someday. Belrive made a lasting impression on Warrenton resident Jeanne Allen, founder of Woven Grace fair trade company, during her first of 14 visits to Terrier Rouge, in 2012. Not only did she pick up on the sewing techniques Allen was teaching, “when she understood something, the first thing she would do would be to turn to someone who was struggling and teach them.” She remembers Pierre later walking into a room and thinking, “this kid is going to be the mayor!” Allen travelled to Terrier Rouge to see the pair graduate in 2016 and is committed to raising funds for their medical school expenses. Lee Owsley, who met Belrive and Pierre during her first visit to Haiti last year, is another voice advocating for the two students. “Their dedication to their studies and to their

Elementary-school students at St. Barthélémy line up for morning assembly before going to class. Each morning, students recite prayers, psalms and the Haitian national anthem.

Tony Tedeschi sits at St. Barthélémy’s upper school in front of a tractor used to produce food for the school on a nearby farm. After seeing the limited tools available to farm the land, Tedeschi and others from Warrenton Rotary Club raised funds to purchase the tractor, which has greatly expanded the farm’s production and consequently the quality of students’ school meals.

country and to their community is so solid and so profound. I think they’re an inspiration,” she says in her office at Latitudes Fair Trade Store on Main Street. There are a plethora of opportunities for growth and development in Terrier Rouge and the surrounding area, and several Warrenton-area organizations have contributed substantially, supplying funds for wells, schools, medical supplies and even a tractor over the years. Some Warrenton residents sponsor individual students at Saint-Barthélémy. The people who have been to Terrier Rouge are invariably enthusiastic and hopeful that Warrenton can be a supportive partner in expanding opportunities for the people of northeast Haiti. “There’s a lot to learn. I think the more times you go, the more you realize that you don’t understand,” says Tedeschi. He says whenever Père Bruno invites people from the United States to visit Terrier Rouge, the priest leaves them with a simple message: “come and see.” Want to help?

Holidays a good time to spot red flags among the mistletoe During the holiday season, many of us will spend more face-to-face time with aging parents than we typically do. Consequently, this can be a chance to spot common red flags indicating it’s time to talk with parents about financial matters. Deferred home maintenance, including dripping faucets or yard maintenance, can be a sign of financial trouble because unaddressed upkeep often stems from underlying money issues. Another sign of looming financial problems can be a stack of unopened bills, especially if a parent has been ill. For many of us, an avalanche of doctors’

U.S. of Aging LAURIE MacNAUGHTON bills can be scary. But if you’re living on a fixed income it can be paralyzing – if not downright catastrophic. A third sign may show up in terms of increased credit consumption, as in a new equity line, uncharacteristically large draws on an existing equity line, or new credit cards. This

‘Oh, the colors of fall!’ Ever taken a road trip in Northern Virginia to see the fall leaves? Or maybe ventured out a little farther to the mountains of West Virginia or perhaps up the East Coast to see the autumn foliage? Northern Virginia is one of the prettiest areas to take a fall drive; there are many incredible fall destinations and road trip options. Whether it’s a day drive or a weekend get-away, fun and beauty awaits! For our area, Skyline Drive is a given! This is a 106-mile road offering 75 overlooks. Some of the best views are at Hogback Overlook where you can see the winding path of the Shenandoah River. Hazeltop Ridge Overlook offers the classic Smoky Mountain horizon; pull over and hike one of the many marked paths and trails. Of course, there is also the Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia’s most famous highway. This parkway connects two national parks, Shenandoah and The Great Smoky Mountains. A road trip along this parkway will not disappoint. Really, at any time of the year it is just a beautiful drive. You can start this drive in Front Roy-

ALESIA HOUSE al and continue until you end up in North Carolina. Take a weekend and do the entire 469 miles! Right next door to us, we have West Virginia, another amazing state with spectacular views. Highland Scenic Highway is 43 miles of dense hardwood forests of the Monongahela National Forest. Also, Route 60 and Route 32 through Canaan Valley are both excellent choices, as well as many options in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Want to really take an East Coast fall road trip? Head to New England where the rich colors of red, orange, and yellow make the landscape glow with color; the backdrop is breathtaking with even purple and green colors mixed in. Go through Wiscasset, Maine, and little towns like Vergennes, Vermont, the state’s old-

often serves as an indication parents have ongoing cash flow challenges. Other, potentially more advanced red flags include a rash of strange phone calls, mail from debt-restructuring services and late notices. Like the other talk, the “money talk” can be awkward. A good starting point for this conversation can be found on FINRA’s website at www. finra.org/investors/highlights/talkaging-parents-about-money. A printable list of red flags can be found on my website, Middleburg Reverse Lady, at www. middleburgreverselady.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/ printable-checklist-of-red-flags.docx As with most things in life, our parents’ financial matters can be handled in one of two ways: before

est city. While you’re out that way, New Hampshire is full of lakes and good shopping. Visit Squam Lake, where the 1981 film “On Golden Pond” was filmed. Massachusetts and Connecticut are both lands rich in history with many little nooks and crannies to explore. To do a thorough road trip, plan for a good 10-12 days. At that point, you may as well go all the way to Canada! Get out and enjoy our beautiful

Deadly Boxwood Disease Alert! Boxwood blight has been spreading at an alarming rate in our area with new infections developing rapidly due to the warm, wet weather of early fall. All boxwood species are susceptible to this fungal disease, which can result in severe loss of leaves in as little as one week after initial infection. Given the devastating nature of this disease, it is important to protect uninfected shrubs and to appropriately remove infected plant material to prevent further spread. Small brown spots on the leaves are the fi rst sign of infection. These spots will enlarge and coalesce and eventually the entire plant will turn completely brown or straw-colored. This is a serious disease and removal of infected plants may be the recommended course of action, but every situation and landscape is different and there may be several options for management. While removal of dead and seriously infested shrubs may be warranted, preventative treatment can halt disease progression if caught early enough and protect healthy boxwoods. Prevention is the most effective method for managing boxwood blight, but even properties with current infections are likely in a position to halt the disease progression and maintain the boxwoods on the property. For more information or to schedule an appointment for a complimentary consultation, please call (540) 364-2401 today, or e-mail us at cherrell@bartlett.com.

THE IRISH FUNERAL CRY

The Irish tradition of “keening” involves women who would gather together to wail in grief at a funeral. Derived from the Irish word “caoineadh” (meaning to cry or lament), keening had an otherworldly sound that was intended to provide an energetic pathway for the deceased to follow. This lament, which created a portal into the spirit world, was partly tuneful and often composed beforehand in order to be sure to make mention of family and ancestors who had gone before and could provide a spirit ladder for the departing soul to climb back home. While keening died out in Ireland after the Famine, it is still practiced in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and East and Southeast Asia. Every family is different, and not everyone wants the same type of funeral. Funeral practices are influenced by religious and cultural traditions, costs and personal preferences. These factors help determine whether the funeral will be elaborate or simple, public or private, religious or secular, and where it will be held. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. Ask us about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquer.com | November 7, 2018

OBITUARIES Deborah “Debi” J. Bones Deborah “Debi” J. Bones, 68, of Remington, Virginia, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 30, 2018. Debi, born in Buffalo, New York, on March 22, 1950, leaves behind her husband Marcus William Sr.; four children, Stephanie (Shawn), Ben (Carrie), Marcus Jr., and Justina (David); and six much loved grandchildren, Harrison, Benjamin, Jonah, Brayden, Cameron, and Vivian. Debi made a career out of teaching, although teaching was much more to her than just a career. Debi loved her students, treating them with respect, but also demanding their best effort – and they loved her for it, many still referring to her as “Bonesy” as they reconnected with her on social media. After retiring from teaching in Ravenna, Ohio, Debi and Marc moved from Youngstown, Ohio to Virginia in order to be full time grandparents – she was lovingly called “E” by her grandchildren. Once Debi was settled in Virginia, she found her second calling as a volunteer with a local dog rescue, PAWS for Seniors. She took in many of their hardest cases, teaching dogs to trust and how to be loved in preparation for their placement in what she always hoped would be their “furever” home. She also experienced many “foster fails”, which is how she ended up with her 7 extremely spoiled dogs – Stuart Little, Ruby, Jessa, Rylee, Bobbie, Peyton, and Beau. While Debi will be missed, she also leaves us with so many moments that we can laugh about. Debi had an intense hatred of brussel sprouts, no matter how they were dressed – she refused to eat them, and made no bones about vocalizing her disgust for them. She actually hated most vegetables – but she made sure her grandsons ate theirs. She also hated balloons, for no rational reason, she just hated them. She loved fuzzy socks, you could make her day by bringing her a pair of warm, fuzzy socks – especially during the winter. She also loved peanut butter cups and ice cream – we are all hoping there is MooThru in heaven, and they are well stocked. And, while she started out as a Buffalo Bills fan, she ended up a devout Pittsburgh Steelers fan, constantly putting up with grief as her family ribbed her for being a sellout. She was steadfast in her values, making sure she instilled those values in her grandsons that she took care of every day. Much to their chagrin, she never put up with any shenanigans, and they never got away with slacking on their homework. Her primary concern from beyond would be the care and feeding of her dogs – all can rest assured that we’ll make sure the dogs get fed on time. The service was be held at 1pm, Tuesday, November 6, at Remington United Methodist Church. Well behaved dogs (and people) are welcome to attend. Interment will follow at Remington Cemetery on Cemetery Rd. in Remington, all are welcome to attend. A reception will be held afterwards at Remington United Methodist Church.

She is survived by her daughter Julie Roberts and her husband James of Amissville; and her son John D. Metz of Front Royal; one sister Linda Hutchison and her husband Ken of Colorado Springs, Co; two granddaughters Megan Strakal and her husband Jeremy and Amy Frazier all of Amissville; and one great grandchild Maddox Elkassed.

George Corder, Jr. (Tony) George Corder, Jr. (Tony), 78, of Front Royal, VA went to be with the Lord Tuesday morning October 30th, at his home surrounded by his loving wife and family. Born in Arlington and raised in Falls Church, VA. Originally picked up the trade of barber from his late father. But Tony liked to tinker and repair things. He was not content being a barber. He began working on anything and everything mechanical and became very successful as an appliance repairman and auto mechanic. While in Falls Church he would meet his wife Mary. They left Falls Church and settled in Ashburn for several years where they started a family. After the children were grown Tony and Mary moved to Marshall where Tony, along with his sons, operated C and F Service Center for many years. Tony also became an accomplished woodworker turning out many fine pieces of furniture Woodworking became his passion. After retiring Tony and Mary had recently moved to Front Royal to be closer to two of their children. Tony suffered with eye sight and hearing problems along with debilitating arthritis later in life. As his health issues continued you never once heard Tony complain or get discouraged. If you needed advice or needed to know how to fix something, Tony was the guy to go to. He always had a friendly word for anyone he met. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, mentor, and friend. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him. He was preceded in death by his parents Helen and George Martin Corder, Sr. and son David Martin Corder. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Mary, his children Daniel Corder of Callao, Virginia, Bonnie Mitchell and Dennis Corder of Middletown, Virginia, thirteen grandchildren, Daniel, Kristy, Ryan, Carlyn, David, Sherry, Jessica, Joshua, Amy, Allyson, Jeremy, Joey, and Jared; and sixteen great grandchildren with two on the way. The family takes great comfort knowing Tony is no longer suffering and will now be able to start one of the many projects he had told family members about. Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2018 from 12-1p.m. at Royston Funeral Home, Marshall, VA. Services will begin at 1 p.m. Burial will take place in the Marshall Cemetery.

Renée Chevalier Lyons Renée Chevalier Lyons passed away suddenly on 1 November 2018. She was born in Washington, D.C. on 2 August 1931 to John Collins Chevalier and Edna Wilcox Chevalier. She was preceded in death by her twobrothers, John and Shaler Chevalier. Renée graduated from Mt. Vernon College in 1952 and married Ensign James “Ace” Lyons April 1954 which started her on a magnificent Navy voyage. She supported her husband Admiral James “Ace” Lyons who was Commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet in every conceivable way. She accompanied him on the historic port visit to China 3 November 1986, the first U.S. Navy task force visit to China in 37 years since the Communist took power. Elegance and doing things first class were her trademarks. She was at ease in hosting many world leaders. Her official dinner parties achieved legendary status. Renée was a world traveler, having visited over 45 countries and lived in several more. Throughout her Navy life, she was a strong participant and activist in local charities. She led the efforts to sponsor an orphanage in Thailand. She has also sponsored scholarships for Navy children. This work she continued after her husband retired by sponsoring an annual charity event at her farm in Warrenton, VA for over 20 years. She was able to raise tens of thousands of dollars to help with the education of Navy children. One of Renée’s proudest moments was becoming the sponsor of the cruiser USS Philippine Sea (CG-58). Renée had many interests including collecting antiques; miniature doll houses and furniture; raising Bassett Hounds and hosts of other dogs, but her primary focus always remained her family. Renée is survived by her husband, her three children, Michele, Yvonne, Jim, and three grandchildren, Max Slingluff, Zoe Renée Slingluff and James A. Lyons IV. Interment will be at the United States Naval Academy. A service will be held in the Chapel at 10:30, 8 November. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to your local SPCA.
