For U.S. 29, a flatter future lies ahead VDOT, advisory group reach consensus on problem intersection By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

If all goes according to plan, those problematic hills on U.S. 29 near Vint Hill Road could be a thing of the past as early as next summer. Blocked sightlines along that stretch of the busy roadway have led to accidents. Taking out the hills or “humps” was a solution that gained traction

during meetings the Virginia Department of Transportation has been having with the U.S. 29 New Baltimore Advisory Panel, a group representing residents, businesses and others to explore options for fixing the road. A timetable for work to start emerged during the Nov. 29 meeting of the group in Warrenton. A section of northbound U.S. 29

outside Warrenton could be closed to traffic for three weeks next summer so that two hills approaching the intersection with Vint Hill Road can be reduced. The contractor to be hired would receive financial incentives to speed the work along and cut the time northbound U.S. 29 would be blocked to traffic, explained Garrett Moore,

VDOT’s chief engineer who has been moderating the panel’s meetings. Southbound traffic on U.S. 29 will be unaffected. Fauquier County Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott) noted the short-term pain ahead for businesses affected by the three-week traffic diversion. See U.S. 29, Page 4

Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill sees a bright side in Virginia ABC’s interest in opening a new liquor store in Old Town Warrenton. If the state authority is eyeing Main Street, it must believe Old Town Warrenton has the vitality to support it, Nevill said Thursday. “I think it means that Main Street is worth investing in,” Nevill said. The new liquor store also represent an “anchor” establishment that would generate foot traffic for existing retail outlets and induce new ones to open, the mayor said. Nevill owns Carter & Spence, Ltd., a jewelry and gift store, at 41 Main St. See ABC, Page 4

Sheriff Mosier to hold Remington town hall Dec. 6

Location changed for children’s winter coat drive

Remington area residents and business owners are invited to participate in a town hall session on Thursday, Dec. 6, with Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier. Mosier will provide updates on investigations, offer crime prevention tips, address traffic Sheriff Bob Mosier safety issues and respond to questions, according to a Fauquier Sheriff’s Office news release. The town hall will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Remington Volunteer Fire Department, 200 E. Marshall St., Remington.

The effort to collect new or gently-used jackets and coats has changed its drop-off location due to the unexpected temporary closing of The Plains market and gas station due to repairs.

An honorary officer Ethan Dixon, 9, sworn in as honorary Haymarket Police officer By Robin Earl Staff Writer

Anyone planning to attend a quiet Haymarket Town Council meeting Monday night was met with flashing lights, a blocked-off street lined with police and fire department vehicles and a raucous crowd gathered outside Town Hall. Hundreds of residents showed up — at the Facebook request of Haymarket Police Chief Kevin Lands — to show support for Ethan Dixon, a 9-year-old boy battling leukemia. Ethan was understandably overwhelmed by the cheering crowd, the lights and cameras. “When I went to get Ethan to bring him out, he said, no, he wasn’t coming. I finally convinced him to come out by telling him that his grandma was watching on TV,” Lands said. The event was streaming on Facebook Live. Ethan, who has always wanted to be a police officer, was officially sworn in as an honorary member of the Haymarket Police Department. Lands said he came to know Ethan through his grandmother, Anna Thompson. “About two or three months ago, she reached out to me. She said that she wanted to make Ethan a police officer’s uniform. He was so small, she couldn’t find one anywhere. She wanted to know if it was OK to replicate our patches and emblems. I sent

His Facebook video asking for people to show up for Ethan garnered nearly 171,000 views, more than 400 comments and almost 2,000 shares. “I posted the video hoping 20 or 30 people would show up. By Monday, I thought that if even half the people show up, I’m in trouble,” Lands said. “We had a stage already set up from a Christmas event on Saturday, so we moved it outside.” Lands estimates that between 500 to 800 people were there to wish Ethan well. The crowd included representation from 13 or 14 police departments and numerous fire and rescue squads.

Warrenton council interviews for interim town manager By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council will discuss whether it wants to hire one of two applicants for interim town manager during a work session Thursday with the goal of making an offer to one at its regular meeting, Tuesday, Dec. 11. Former Warrenton Interim Town Manager Cole Hendrix and former Manassas City Manager Larry Hughes remain under consideration for the job after John McCarthy dropped out. McCarthy is senior adviser and director of strategic partnerships for the Piedmont Environmental Council and a former Rappahannock

Cole Hendrix

Larry Hughes

County administrator. In a Nov. 27 email to Warrenton Mayor Carter Nevill and Stephanie Miller, director of finance and human resources, McCarthy said he thought Hendrix and Hughes “can commit their obvious skills and better adjust their schedules to council’s

needs than can I.” “I am relieved that there are two such qualified candidates,” he added. Hendrix and Hughes both had long careers as full-time public administrators and now fill interim roles when they come available. Hughes most recently was interim town manager in Lovettsville and before that was the interim general manager of the Fauquier Water and Sanitation Authority. Hendrix served as interim town manager in Warrenton for several months in 2015 before former Town Manager Brannon Godfrey was hired. The town council released Godfrey from his contract in late October. Nevill and the town council interviewed Hendrix and Hughes Thursday, Nov. 29, during an open session at the Warren Green Building in Warrenton. Hughes was there in person, while Hendrix was interviewed by phone. Each answered the same list of questions posed by temporary Town Manager Edward “Bo” Tucker and then answered questions posed by individual council members. Councilman Kevin Carter (Ward 5) was absent, but all other council members were present. Hughes and Hendrix explained their management styles and how they would interact with staff, council and the public. Their answers differed regarding the hiring of a new police chief. An interim chief has led the department since former Police

Chief Lou Battle retired last spring. Hughes said he thought the interim town manager could begin the recruiting process for a new police chief but that the interviewing and hiring should be left to the permanent town manager. Hendrix said: “It may be six or seven months before a full-time manager is hired. I would think you’d want to hire a chief of police” before then. “You could hire a search firm, I would do the interviewing and would keep council advised. I would keep the commonwealth’s attorney apprised. I would involve the council so that it knows. It can be done if council wants to do it without delay.” The town manager can hire department heads without the town council’s approval. Commonwealth’s Attorney James Fisher had criticized the search process Godfrey led for a new town police chief. Fisher said in a letter to Nevill that he was asked for his input too late in the process. Council’s work session is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 6 at town hall, 18 Court St. Council will also hear a presentation of a financial audit of town government, receive a presentation from AT&T about the FirstNet network for use by first responders and discuss proposed new regulations for signs and food trucks.

Skating rink opens in Marshall By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The new all-weather ice skating rink at Northern Fauquier Community Park near Marshall is officially open for business. Cutting the ribbon to open the new rink on Dec. 1 were Fauquier County Supervisor Holder Trumbo (Scott); Clayton Lescalleet, Scott District representative on the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Board; and David Graham, Marshall District representative on the parks board. Afterward, the first skaters tried

the 28-by-56 foot surface. “I think it’s really nice. It’s manageable for kids,” said Brian Brown of Marshall who tried out the rink with three of his children, ages 7, 6 and 4. All are new to skating. The artificial surface isn’t as slick as natural ice. The PATH Foundation provided a grant for its purchase. The rink will be open on Saturdays and Sundays and school holidays from Dec. 1 through March 1. Skaters can bring their own skates or get them at the rink. The rink fee is $5 for 30 minutes, including skate rental.

Main Street eyed for new state-owned liquor store ABC, from Page 1

“Thirty-five years ago, we had a pharmacy, a [Virginia] ABC store and a hardware store as anchors. During the 1970s, they vacated Main Street,” Nevill said. “During the interim we’ve survived without an anchor bringing in a broader swath of demographic.” Virginia ABC is interested in vacant retail space at 104 Main St., which was previously occupied by Latitudes. The eclectic shop, which features “fair trade” imported items, moved to a larger space down the street in October. Virginia ABC stores sell packaged alcoholic beverages for off-site consumption. Police will be making sure buyers “aren’t going into somebody’s vehicle” to drink, Nevill said. Any criticism that an ABC store isn’t right for Old Town “smacks of elitism – that there’s no need to serve the community,” Nevill said. Amelia Stansell, chairperson of Experience Old Town Warrenton, an organization that promotes the downtown area, said the group has not taken a position on a possible ABC store in Old Town. The board could take a position at its Dec. 10 meeting if it has more facts by then, Stansell said in an email. Virginia ABC does not need the Warrenton Town Council’s permission to open a new store in Old Town,

Warrenton ABC store grosses $4.9 million 2017 A new Virginia ABC store Old Town Warrenton would not replace the existing Warrenton store, which had the highest sales in the region in 2017. Located in the Warrenton Village Shopping Center, 175 W. Lee Highway, the Warrenton Virginia ABC store had higher gross sales than any other store in Culpeper, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Madison and Orange counties. Source: 2017 Virginia ABC annual report

but the agency “wants to ensure it will be a good fit for the community.” That’s according to Virginia ABC spokeswoman Dawn Eischen, who said the state agency is in the “preliminary stages” of a process to consider a new Warrenton store. “As a potential new local business in the downtown Warrenton area and economic partner, Virginia ABC wants to ensure it would be a good fit for the community,” she said. Virginia ABC notified Warrenton officials about its interest in leasing the property on Main Street last week, Eischen said. News that Virginia ABC was considering a new store in old Town Warrenton came as a surprise to Town Councilman Sean Polster, who posted a picture of a flyer in the window of the former Latitudes storefront on Facebook Thursday morning.

This empty storefront, at 104 Main St., under consideration for a new Virginia ABC liquor store. Polster (At Large) said he spotted the sign on his daily exercise route around town. “I’m pretty well connected, and I haven’t heard anything about it,” he said. Polster said he’s a bit concerned about how a liquor store might affect the character of Old Town Warrenton, which is mostly home to shops, restaurants and professional offices. “How many family-friendly stores are going to want to move in next to a liquor store?” Polster said. “I really just don’t know.” The Virginia ABC notice says members of the public can weigh in on the proposed Old Town Warrenton location by emailing sites@abc.

virginia.gov. Virginia ABC operates more than 370 stores statewide, according to its website, including one at 175 W. Lee Highway in the Warrenton Village Shopping Center. Two other stores are located in Fauquier County, one in Marshall and Bealeton. Virginia ABC would continue to operate the four stores in Fauquier County if it opens the new store on Main Street. The existing Warrenton store is the busiest in the region, with gross sales topping $4.9 million last year, according to the Virginia ABC 2017 Annual Report. Contact news@fauquier.com

For U.S. 29, a flatter future lies ahead U.S. 29, from Page 1 “Change doesn’t come without some cost. I don’t think the businesses will die, but we want to make it as manageable as possible,” Trumbo said. “In the end, we’ll all be better for it.” Analyses on impacts to the environment, historic resources and storm water management still must be done before on-site work can start. There will have to be a federal “Section 106” review, which is required by the National Historic Preservation Act. The project area is on ground fought over during the Civil War. Moore will have a progress report to share with the committee when it next meets on Jan. 24. If a summer northbound shutdown is in the offing, the public will be notified as early as February, Moore said. “There will be some pain to it,” Moore said. “If we plan it right, it’s best that the Band-Aid be ripped off rather than drawn out.” No objections were raised by advisory committee members. Moore said he talked earlier to two homeowner’s association groups and to a broader community group and said “a lot of good questions” were asked “but no pushback” was received. Ike Broaddus, co-owner of Old Bust Head Brewing Company at Vint Hill and a member of the Route 29 committee, said there is interest in protecting land and being careful around the existing right of way. “We want to make sure there is an

archaeological consultant involved,” Broaddus said. “We’re going to keep the footprint as tight as we can” in order to reduce costs and taking up time to negotiate a wider right-of-way, Moore said. Besides reducing two of three humps along the road, the work to improve the intersection with Vint Hill Road will include adding a second left-turn lane onto Vint Hill from U.S. 29 south at the intersection’s traffic signal. A second right-turn lane from Vint Hill Road onto northbound U.S. 29 will also be added. The Vint Hill Road intersection project will be bid as a single project with planned improvements to the U.S. 29 intersection with Broad Run Church Road/Beverleys Mill Road, also known as Va. 600. The Vint Hill work will proceed first. VDOT plans a right-turn acceleration lane onto southbound U.S. 29 from Beverleys Mill Road. There would be a right-turn lane added onto northbound U.S. 29 from Broad Run Church Road and a left-turn lane onto southbound U.S. 29 with a combination through/left-turn lane next to it. Earlier plans for the intersections were shelved after community opposition and a request by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors that VDOT step back and reconsider. The Route 29 New Baltimore Advisory Panel was formed to come up with a consensus solution. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Bealeton man found dead in Winchester jail cell By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

A Bealeton man who was sentenced to eight years in prison last month in connection with a March standoff with Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputies was found dead Friday in his cell at the Northwestern Regional Jail in Winchester. Jeremiah Gibson’s death is being investigated as a suicide, Northwest Regional Jail Superintendent James F. Whitley said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Fauquier County Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey W. Parker found Gibson, 42, guilty Nov. 13 of five counts of malicious shooting toward emer-

gency vehicles and other charges. Parker sentenced him to 25 years in jail but suspended all but eight of them, according to court reJeremiah Gibson cords. Parker also ordered Gibson to remain on probation for 10 years after his release and to receive mental-health treatment. Gibson was taken into custody by the Fauquier Sheriff’s Department March 2 and charged with five counts of attempted capital murder,

one count of discharging a firearm within an occupied dwelling and one count of destruction of property – charges that were later reduced. Deputies had been called to Bearbug Lane off Elk Run Road in Bealeton that March day and encountered an “armed individual on the property,” Sgt. James Hartman said at the time. Gibson had barricaded himself in his home after confronting law-enforcement officers and later fired shots toward a sheriff’s vehicle with occupied by five deputies. The original police call was for a trespassing complaint between neighbors. When first booked into the Northwest Regional Jail in March, Gibson

made statements about harming himself. He was put on suicide watch but later cleared by the jail’s mental health staff, Whitley said. Gibson’s body was found hanging from a bed sheet attached to the top bunk after 1 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 30. CPR was administered and rescue was called. Gibson was pronounced dead at the Winchester Medical Center. There will be an autopsy, Whitley said. Whitley confirmed that there have been four successful suicides in the Northwest Regional Jail in the last six years. Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

Fauquier Sheriff’s Office earns state accreditation By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

It was a goal more than two years in the making, but Fauquier Sheriff Bob Mosier crossed it off his to-do list before the end of the year. For the first time in county history, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office is accredited by the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission, the state entity charged with setting standards and best practices for law-enforcement agencies across the state. The distinction places the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in the company of Virginia’s largest law-enforcement agencies as well as those in six of seven neighboring counties. The department was inspected by VLEPSC officials in August. They checked the department’s files and operations against 190 standards in administration, operations, personnel and training. The Fauquier deputies had to show proof of compliance with all of the standards. The office passed without a single variance, Mosier said in a recent interview. The inspector spent about a week reviewing the department’s files, protocols and policies. The sheriff’s office had to show it meets the standards on everything from human resource practices to evidence pro-

cessing and storage, said Sgt. James Hartman, sheriff’s office spokesman. “You basically open up your files, your offices, how you handle items, everything,” said Hartman said. “They check everything you do.” Mosier said state accreditation has been his goal since taking office in 2016. The process is about being “transparent and accountable,” he said, adding: “The public can be confident in what we do.” Mosier credited the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors for supporting his efforts to lead the sheriff’s office through the accreditation process. Because the office had been working toward accreditation during the past few years, they built from that foundation, Mosier said. The cost for completing the work was less than $2,000, which included the $250 application fee and about $1,400 spent on locks and security cameras, Mosier said. Among tasks the sheriff’s office completed ahead of the accreditation inspection was cleaning out and reorganizing its evidence and property storage areas. Deputies removed items that were no longer needed and ensured everything was properly arranged and marked according to state rules, Hartman said. There are now systems in place to maintain the new procedures.

The department must keep records showing that various protocols are followed and reviewed on a regular basis. The department will be re-inspected in four years to renew its accreditation, Mosier said. According to the VELPSC website, accredited agencies follow “an established set of professional standards and guidelines which measure performance in their service to the community, the criminal justice industry and their agency personnel.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Two more Democrats announce 2019 bids for state House By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

A second Democratic candidate has entered the 2019 race for the 18th District seat in Virginia’s House of Delegates, while another has announced her bid for the 88th District seat. Both districts include parts of Fauquier County. Jessica Foster and Laura Galante are both first-time candidates. Foster is so far the only Democrat in the running to unseat Del. Mark Cole, who has represented the 88th District since 2001. The 88th District includes part of southern Fauquier, including Remington, as well as Fredericksburg and parts of Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. Galante will face at least one other Democrat, former House of Delegates candidate Tristan Shields, in a nominating contest to become the Democrats’ choice to unseat Del. Michael Webert, a Republican who has held the 18th District seat since 2012. The 18th District covers parts of Fauquier, Culpeper and Warren counties and all of Rappahannock County. Webert, of Marshall, previously said he’d decide whether to run for another term after discussing it with his wife during the Christmas holiday.

2019 Visit Fauquier.com for the latest election coverage Galante, 33, of Marshall, has a background in cybersecurity. She worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency and with a private cyber-intelligence team. In 2017, she started a consulting practice, Galante Strategies, that works on cybersecurity issues. Galante was born in Chicago and grew up in Fairfax County. She said she spent free hours at Frying Pan Park and was involved in 4-H, an organization in which she remains active. She said she supports boosting the future of agriculture by supporting “earn to learn” opportunities – apprenticeships and on-the-job training paired with know-how in project management, marketing and communication. “The trades will tell you that ‘we’re dying for people.’ It would be

easy to partner up with community colleges and high schools” to provide that sort of training, she said. Galante said she’s spoken to small farmers and was told that supply-chain improvements would help them, such as establishing food ports – regional distribution centers where they can bring what they produce. “We need to focus on the needs of local farms and not just the big producers,” she said. She said more work needs to be done to expand access to broadband internet by exploring new technologies such as road-adhering fiber and working with telecommunications and electric co-ops. Galante calls for “cost transparency” in the health care system so patients know the cost of various tests and medical procedures upfront. Galante also supports passing the Equal Rights Amendment. “It’s long overdue,” she said. The candidate described her style of addressing problems this way: “I dig in not only on a policy level but on the community level.”

General Assembly, prompted her bid for office. “I’m running based on the last two years. Since 2017, it’s looked like Virginians really want a change. I think it’s time,” said Foster, who lives in Remington and is a criminal defense attorney working out of Manassas. “I’m more of a take-action type of person. I’ll treat my constituents like they were clients,” she said in describing her work mode. Foster, 37, said she would represent people and not corporate interests. She said she’s attending meetand-greets to talk to people and get a feel for their concerns. She said the state General Assembly should ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and work toward better health coverage for Virginians. “Medicaid was expanded but there’s still a lot of work to do,” she said. Foster said she’d also like to see movement on the gun-control issue. “There’s no discussion between the two sides. We need to acknowledge there is a problem. We need both sides to come to the table” to come up with a solution, Foster said. “It seems like anything proposed dies in committee.” Foster moved to Belgium with her parents when she was 12 and moved back to the U.S. about five years later. She received an undergraduate degree in administrative justice at George Mason University and received a law degree in Michigan. Galante has a campaign website at galantefordelegate.com.

Remembering President George H.W. Bush The passing of a former president is always a momentous occasion, a time to put politics aside, pause and reflect on where we have been, and where we are going. If there is one word to sum up the public life of George Herbert Walker Bush, it would be service. It didn’t have to be that way. Bush was born into a family that “had” in an era where many “had not.” But the future president was raised not to boast about individual achievement or advantage, but rather to be polite and contribute to the greater good. It was that commitment that led the young Bush to enlist in the Navy as soon as he was able following Pearl Harbor, becoming youngest naval aviator at the time. He flew 58 combat missions and earned a Distinguished Flying Cross. On one such mission he was shot down, losing his crew, but survived several hours in the Pacific Ocean until picked up by a submarine. “Why had I been spared and what did God OUR VIEW have for me?” he later wrote. Two-term congressman from Texas, ambassador to the United Nations, chairman of the Republican National Committee, United States envoy to China, director of the Central Intelligence Agency and vice president, under Ronald Reagan. And, then, of course, president of the United States. The last of the World War II generation to have held the office, Bush was remarkably relatable. He was a pragmatist. He once threw up in another world leader’s lap during an important state event. He didn’t eat his broccoli. He made fun of himself on Saturday Night Live. He learned how to skydive at 75 and celebrated major birthdays by jumping from airplanes. He enjoyed speedboating. And, of course, spending time with his wife of 73 years, Barbara, who passed away in April. Like his son, also a former president – “43” to his “41” in Bush speak – he was prone to “Bushisms.” “Fluency in English is something that I’m often not accused of,” he once said. He faced dark times. He lost a 3-year-old daughter to cancer, and at least one of his kids struggled with addiction. Yet he persevered through it all with quiet stoicism, grace and dignity, persuading the country that whatever happened, he could handle it. His steady hand was on the tiller when the Cold War ended and forged a coalition to stand up to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. From his advocacy of volunteerism – a thousand points of light – to his calls for a kinder, gentler America and his support for life-changing legislation like the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Clean Air Act, President George H.W. Bush demonstrated that presidents from both parties can – and should – care about the environment and the less fortunate while looking for ways that government can set the country on a more just and compassionate course. The criticism he faced for not toppling the Hussein regime looks wise in hindsight. But coupled with dissatisfaction in the economy, and a broken promise not to raise taxes, Bush was sent home after just one term. It was a bitter, hard fought, personal campaign, and it stung, but he still found time to write a gracious note to his successor. Rather than languish in retirement, that call of duty Bush felt all his life would help him shrug off losing the presidency and forge one of the unlikeliest bonds of recent political memory, a friendship with the man who had defeated him, Bill Clinton. At the request of his then-president son, George W. Bush, the former opponents teamed up in an effort that transcended partisanship, first in the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and later, to help those hit by Hurricane Katrina. In 2016, Bush made headlines by shaving his head in support of a 2-year-old boy battling leukemia. The boy was the son of a member of his security detail. “A lot of the agents shaved their head,” he said at the time. “I said, ‘Well why not me?’ It was the right thing to do.” The right thing to do. And one more example of the lifelong, steadfast and good-hearted leadership President George H.W. Bush exemplified in both his personal and public lives. In our age of political division, he serves as a reminder that our nation is much better served by leaders who inspire the best in us rather than the worst.

In early December 1966, Robert McClanahan (left) assisted as Stan Haworth and other members of the Warrenton Rotary Club set up and decorate the Christmas tree on the porch of the Fauquier County Courthouse, a tradition that continues today.

75 Years Ago Dec. 9, 1943 Five sons of and one son-in-law of Eppa C. Reid of Warrenton are all in service. 1st Lt. Bernard Reid is stationed at Fort Washington, Maryland; Master Sgt. Lynwood Reid at Ft. Dix, N.J., Petty Officer First Class Lester Reid, U.S.C.G. at Port Angeles Washington, and Pvt. Roy Reid “somewhere in the South Pacific.” Cpl. Howard Sweeney, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel H. Sweeney of Warrenton and husband of the former Miss Ruby Reid, is at Camp Wheeler, Ga. Service men who have received Tom Frost’s booklet, “With the U.S. Armed Forces from Fauquier County,” think it’s one of the nicest Christmas gifts that could have been sent them, according to letters written home. 50 Years Ago Dec. 12, 1968 Progress, not spectacular but steady, has been reported by Fauquier’s assistant zoning administrator E. H. Olsen in the current drive to rid the county of an estimated 10,000 junked cars. To date, he has succeeded in contacting 22 property

owners on whose land there are 415 cars. The Warrenton Rescue Squad will mark another milestone in its history on Saturday, when its new squad building on the by-pass will be dedicated. Taking part in the services will be Judge Howard W. Smith, Squad President B.B. Sale, Del. Tom Frost, the Rev. David J. Greer, the Rev. J. Richard Winter and the Rev. Leander Saunders. With the addition of a new patrolman, the Warrenton Police Department is now two men shy of being full strength. Bringing the department to seven patrolmen is Howard C. “Butch” Peyton, who was a deputy of the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Department from 1965 until May 1968. Highland School on U.S. 17 north of Warrenton has completed its third building effort in 11 years with the dedication of the second four-module “lower schoolhouse” for kindergarten, completed at a cost of $80,000. 25 Years Ago Dec. 8, 1993 Representatives of the Walt Disney Company met with Haymarket residents and others at a two-day “open house’ held this past weekend at the Gainesville Elementary School. The most important part of the event – as Disney representatives predicted – was the question-and-answer session following their presentations. One of those unconvinced by the presentation was Nancy Treusch of Centreville, who wore a “Disney: Take a Second Look” sticker under her coat. An informal poll of 3,000 Gainesville District residents showed 23 percent in favor, 52 percent undecided and 16 percent opposed to the proposed theme park. –Compiled by John T. Toler

Our imperiled democracy It should be evident to all that American democracy is in serious jeopardy. We vote, to be sure, and it’s also true that elections can have positive consequences. But it’s also true that the validity of our elections is considerably flawed. Just consider the evidence about the widespread, if time-honored, practice of rigging election outcomes through gerrymandering. By drawing legislative district boundaries to be safe for one party, politicians can easily GUEST VIEW defeat the will of the voters. Our 5th congressional district, which snakes its way from the bottom of the state to nearly its top, is a good illustration of electoral cheating. Though both parties have engaged in gerrymandering over the decades, the Republican Party undertook a major nationwide commitment to rig state legislative and congressional districts following the 2010 Census and it is currently the principal culprit in this crime of injustice. Another practice is to suppress or deny the vote to eligible members of the electorate. It’s done to garner undeserved political power by officials with a low regard for the rights of citizens. Once again, the Republican Party in such states as Georgia, North Carolina and North Dakota was notably aggressive in vote suppression during the 2018 elections, though the practice was hardly limited to these states. Add to this the massive influx of corporate spending on elections unleashed by recent Supreme Court decisions that have enabled the purchase of elections by a greedy minority. Under all these conditions, it’s hardly surprising that the electoral process by which our democracy functions is severely hamstrung. But these depredations on elections are only the beginning of our democracy’s troubles. We live in an era in which knowledge and expertise are devalued, truth is dishonored and denied, and lying is rampant. Democracy can only thrive in a climate of honesty and the free flow of accurate information. Because that is not true of conditions in America at the present time, our supposed democracy is flailing.

In addition, some leaders in positions of public responsibility— again, notably Republicans—have increasingly resorted to acting by autocratic means. “My way or the highway”—bending good rules and well-establish norms of behavior— has become standard practice by politicians willing to sacrifice fair play to get what they want, whether it’s merited or, as is often the case, not. Such cheating is contrary to the principles of democracy and undercuts its ability to perform as we need it to do. Most of our problems stem from the severe and growing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a tiny elite. It is no longer reasonable to regard the U.S. as a functioning democracy. We are now a democracy in form only. The fact that our political system is owned by big corporations and the super-wealthy means that, in reality, we have become an oligarchy. America faces many serious issues, among them affordable health care, decaying infrastructure, the continuing squeeze on a shrinking middle class and corporate pressure driving much of the workforce ever closer to third-world conditions. But without denying the critical importance of these issues, it must be clearly understood that the fundamental problem—the underlying cause driving all the others—is control of the levers of power by the very wealthy few who regard solving these problems as contrary to their own narrow, selfish interests. This erosion of our democracy has become possible because the American electorate is poorly or erroneously informed, distracted by entertainment and consumerism and unwilling to think beyond long-held but no longer meaningful political allegiances. Unless we voters reclaim our rightful hold on governmental power, we’re certain to fail to solve our social and economic problems. To succeed will require us to resist the greedy few, arm ourselves with reliable and fact-based information and take convincing action at the polls and through direct involvement. The 2018 elections were a small beginning. Much more is needed. J. Norman Reid Delaplane

A VALENTINE’S DAY TALE:

Discovery Publications focus on good news Named 2018 Small Business of the Year By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Take a successful, loving couple and watch what happens when they get creative. More success. On Nov. 3, the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce recognized the accomplishments of Kathy Harper and her late husband Bill by naming Discovery Publications the 2018 Small Business of the Year. The launch of their publishing company fittingly occurred on lover’s day, Feb. 14, 1991. It originally targeted readers in a four-county area, including Fauquier. Today, there are two publications, Discover Fauquier and Discover Western Prince William, closing in on three decades of success. Many of its readers characterize the free-distribution paper as “the good-feeling publication” because of its focus on positive stories about local businesses. Sadly, Bill Harper passed away of pancreatic cancer in 1996. But Kathy Harper and her staff of 14 have carried on and created a legacy for the man who conceived the idea for the paper. Bill Harper was marketing director for Jefferson Savings and Loan Association and had previously started a similar paper called Leesburg Today. “The Discover publications were the brainchild of my husband and first published on Valentine’s Day 27 years ago. Bill had requests from local businessmen to help them promote their businesses during a recession. The paper started in a one-room office in the Ben Franklin store,” Harper said. The Harpers hired a graphic designer, Susie Eastridge, after the first issue was released. She has been with the paper ever since. One of the hallmarks of the paper is the length of service of many of its employees; a justifiable point of pride for Harper in an age of employment hopping. Prior to his death, Bill Harper taught his wife the marketing business. As a quick study and successful career woman in her own right, the lessons paved the way for the subsequent long running success of the company. Today, her daughter Katie Quadrini is the sales representative for the Western Prince William edition of the paper. “Katie has worked for the paper for years, even when she was in school,” said Harper. Her son Paul was in the Marine Corps for seven years attaining the rank of captain before leaving to begin a separate career of his own. The two newspapers are pub-

came from the past president of the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra, Cooper Wright, who said, “I hope everyone had a chance to see the wonderful article on the Piedmont Symphony Orchestra in the March edition of Discover Fauquier.” Kathy Harper reflects the positivity created by the Discover newspapers saying, “Life has been a good ride for me. I can’t say I regret any of it. I’m sad my husband isn’t here to share all of the good stuff that has happened with the paper. But I know he watches down on me and my employees.” To catch the latest editions of Discover Fauquier and Discover Western Prince William visit: www.discoverypubs.com For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

What’s smarter: paying off debts or investing? It doesn’t happen as much as you’d like, but you may occasionally have some extra disposable income. For example, perhaps you have recently received, or will soon receive, a year-end bonus. Or maybe you will get a sizable tax refund in just a few months. Wherever this money comes from, you will want to put it to good use. Should you use the cash to pay down debts or should you invest it instead? There’s no simple answer, and everyone’s situation is different, but here are a few suggestions to help you make a good choice:

Evaluate your cash flow.

If you already have enough cash to meet your daily living expenses, you might lean toward investing the money, but if you are just getting by, possibly due to heavy debt payments, then you might be better off using your newfound funds to reduce your debt load. Another way of possibly reducing your debt load is to build an emergency fund containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses, with the money kept in a liquid, low-

rate and whose interest payments are not deductible, you might be better off paying down this debt.

SARAH ATKINS risk account. Once you have such a fund, you could use it, instead of going into debt, to pay for unexpected costs, such as a new furnace or a major car repair.

Evaluate your debts.

Some of your debts are actually more “expensive” to you than others. This expense level doesn’t necessarily refer to the size of the debt, however. You might have a large mortgage, for instance, but because your interest payments are typically tax-deductible, your “after-tax” interest rate may be relatively modest. Therefore, you might consider using your excess cash for investments, rather than paying down your mortgage. But if you have consumer loans or credit cards that carry a high interest

Evaluate your investment opportunities.

You may have heard that one season or another is a “better” time to invest – but there’s really no strong evidence to support this claim. However, now that we are nearing the end of the calendar year, and only a few months away from the tax-filing deadline on April 15, you may want to take advantage of at least one time-related investment opportunity. Specifically, you could use whatever extra money you have to fully fund your IRA, if you haven’t done so already. For the 2018 tax year, you can contribute $5,500 to a traditional or Roth IRA, or $6,500 if you are 50 or older. (Depending on your income, you may not be able to contribute the full amount to a Roth IRA.) You’ve got

until the April 15 deadline to fully fund your IRA, but if you have the money sooner, why wait? The quicker it’s in your account, the faster it can go to work for you.

One final suggestion:

If you have a company match as part of your 401(k) or similar retirement plan at work, consider contributing enough to get your employer’s full matching contribution before you pay down debts – don’t leave this “free money” on the table. Your year-end bonus, tax refund or other source of beyond-the-paycheck money can help you make progress toward your financial goals. So evaluate your situation and options carefully before making any moves. It will be time well spent. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

LIBERTY BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

EAGLES PLAN? TO RUN, GUN AND SURPRISE PEOPLE By Peter Brewington

Starting lineup

Times Staff Writer

Football season is over. That means Pat Frazer is off the mike as PA announcer at Eagles’ football games and burning a lot a more calories patrolling the sidelines as Liberty’s veteran boys basketball coach. Guard-oriented Liberty will play fast and, with four starters back, could have the talent to run with the big dogs in the hyper-competitive Northwestern District race. “We got a lot of guys who can do a lot of good things. It’s a nice mix of juniors and seniors,” said Frazer, back for his 15th year. Experienced guard Christian Reames sets the tone for the Eagles, and he’s joined by a host of agile, slashing players that include Derrick Brooks, Carter Shepard, Raymond Morton, Tre White and Bryan Barnes. Six-foot-4 Ryan Resseman, 6-4 A.J. Lewis and 6-7 Fauquier High transfer Tryston Hodgson give the Eagles an inside presence. The 6-1 left-handed Reames has been a varsity Eagle for four years and is the starting point guard. “Christian works so hard. We’re looking for a great season out of him. He’s so vocal in practice. It’s always been about Liberty for him,” said Frazer. If Reames picks up some of the point production lost by the graduation of Josh Foote, and other players chime in, Liberty could shine. That’s what happened in a promising 81-78 opening night win over John Champe last Friday. Reames led the way with 16, with Shepard and Morton making clutch free throws. “It was a great way to start out the season. Champe is a very explosive team. I thought we played really well together on both ends of the court. Hopefully, this will give us some confidence as we move forward,” Frazer said. Reames and Shepard started as the ballhandling guards, with White, Morton and Resseman in the other athletic roles. “Carter can run the floor well and penetrate a little bit. There are moments when he can’t miss,” the coach said of Shepard, who played backup point guard in 2018. A strong preseason has elevated Morton into the starting lineup. Liberty’s star football quarterback “can shoot the ball, take it to the hole and I feel like he understands the offense. He can do a lot, and is a lead-

Eagle hoops on the rise For the first time in a while, Liberty is fielding a freshman boys team. Overall, there are 39 boys playing basketball this winter over the three teams. Coach Pat Frazer also cites strong interest locally with former Eagle Josh Lindsay coaching at Cedar Lee Middle School and longtime Eagle coach George Jolley coaching at Taylor Middle. He also credits new JV coach Eric McCaslin for adding to the program. “He was head girls basketball coach at Battlefield. We’re excited to have him. There’s good things going on,” Frazer said. Russell Morton, and Sean Doores. The 5-9 Simpson transferred in from Orange. “He’s a small guard, can shoot, is fast and can be disruptive on defense,” Frazer said. Russell Morton, a 5-10 sophomore, is another guard with talent, Frazer said. Because the team is more experienced, the potential is much higher, Frazer says. He knows his guys are still fighting to defeat Northwestern District top dogs like Millbrook and Handley, but Frazer thinks Liberty will be in the hunt. “There’s no clear favorite. If you pressed me, I’d say Handley, but I think we can be in there,” said Frazer. PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

er,” Frazer said. The coach is also excited about football player Tre White, who missed time in the fall with an injury but is healthy and starting in hoops. “He’s gonna see a lot of time for us. He fits in nicely. I’m excited about Tre,” the coach said.

Other key returnees include Brooks, Resseman and Lewis. Frazer views the 6-2 Brooks as a valuable inside player with scoring ability. “The way he plays he looks about 6-4, and he can get after it on the offensive end,” Frazer said. Lewis, at 6-4, is also a versatile forward who can run the floor and play the Eagles’ style. At 6-4, Resseman adds height and talent. Hodgson is the Eagles’ most towering player at 6-7 and should see more time as the year goes on. Other Eagles Frazer is counting on include guards Latrelle Simpson,

Don’t disrespect Kaila Lacey

Christmas came early for Ashley Renzi

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

When Liberty High School star lacrosse and field hockey player Kaila Lacey was a sophomore, a person associated with her lacrosse travel team told her she was not good enough to play lacrosse in college. That negative assessment fueled a three-year quest that culminated in the ultimate honor for a senior athlete. Lacey signed with the University of Virginia at Wise, a Division II program, on Nov. 20. “When a coach said I that couldn’t do it, that made me want to do it that much more,” Lacey said. She admitted the coach’s negative prediction irritated her “a little bit.” Lacey began playing as a seventh grader and continued on the travel circuit and with a private coach, leading a half dozen coaches seeking her talents. She visited Division III in-state Virginia Wesleyan, Ferrum and Eastern Mennonite, and Division II Shepherd in West Virginia. She found the area surrounding the mountainous southwestern Virginia campus of UVa-Wise beautiful, but it was the tone of the Cavalier program that impressed her. The school is a member of the 13-team Mountain East Conference. The

Rebuffed in early attempts to play softball at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Fauquier High senior Ashley Renzi planned to go to IUP as a student only. But when third-year Crimson Hawks’ assistant Shawna Bellaud was named to replace departing Bill Graham as head coach this fall, Renzi’s college softball career at IUP was back on. “When she became the coach [in] late summer, that’s when I started emailing her [in earnest],” Renzi said. “I love the coach, and the players were great.” The school’s offer did not arrive until the beginning of October. “They needed outfielders and pitchers, which is what I do,” Renzi said. Suffice it to say, Renzi is happy with coach Bellaud. “IUP was where I wanted to go for softball. Otherwise, I just would have gone to school for academics,” said Renzi, who is expecting to pursue a degree in sports management. As a junior, Renzi hit .359 with a team-high 23 hits, including four doubles and triple. She also led the Falcons with 13 runs scored, stealing nine bases and driving in nine runners. She earned second-team

Speedy Kaila Lacey will play lacrosse at Virginia-Wise. Cavaliers were 12-5 last spring. “I liked that they made [it] more than just a lacrosse team,” Lacey said. “When I visited there, they took time to do team bonding and other things rather than solely practice.” Lacey wants to play in the midfield and hopes to earn playing time as a freshman. “I can run fast and for a long time. I’ll just practice and hope I fit in with everyone, and that I can be a better player,” she said. She gained second-team all-Region B honors as a midfielder last spring. This fall, Lacey was a firstteam all-district and second-team all-region field hockey player. She is unsure on her possible academic track.

IUP has more than 11,000 students and a broad curriculum. “It’s a wide area. I’ll see which way I want to go once I get deeper into classes,” she stated.

HIGHLAND BOYS BASKETBALL PREVIEW

HAWKS PRIMED FOR MONSTER YEAR

Two-time DAC champs aiming for state title run By Josh Dorsey

Special to the Times

The Highland School boys basketball team owns Delaney Athletic Conference regular season championships the last two years. It added the DAC tourney title last year, fueling the notion that it has become the DAC’s elite program. This year the hungry Hawks are gunning for more. While they won a state tournament game last year, third year coach Brian Hooker is trying to take the program deeper into the postseason, a mighty a tall order in VISAA Division II, where powers like Blue Ridge, Miller and Virginia Episcopal have reigned for years. “The slogan for this year is ‘On a scale of one to ten, be an eleven,’” says Hooker, whose Hawks fell to Blue Ridge in the 2018 quarterfinals. The former Woodbridge High coach returns a veteran team led by four-year starting point guard Darret Justice and 6-foot-10 Cam Timmons, as well as fellow seniors Ben Babcox and Luke Rodgers. Sophomore guard Angelo Brizzi transferred in from Fauquier High, giving the Hawks a deadly scorer with NCAA Division I potential. “The good news is we have seven seniors,” Hooker said. “Darret is an all-around strong basketball player. He is not only our leader in assists but he is a fantastic defender and has been our second leading rebounder the past two seasons.” In his second year as Hawks’ post man, Timmons has a lot of responsibility as a senior co-cap-

Brizzi will be allowed to look for his shot, and should score in bunches. “Brizzi has a great ability to score the ball on all three levels. He has really bought into our system and culture.” Hooker said. Highland’s lineup includes seven seniors, four sophomores and one junior in Zion Hanberry. Besides Brizzi, the other sophomores are twins James and Jalen Jasper (both 5-9) and Ishmael Carter, who Hooker says is the best athlete on the team. “He can jump out of the gym and is starting to blossom,” Hooker says about the 6-2 Carter. Included in their challenging slate are two games Jan. 12 and Feb. 12 with Wakefield School, which amped up its program in recent years. “Wakefield is obviously a crosstown rival with a new coach,” Hooker said. “We will see what they have. We enjoy that rivalry. They do a good job and they play really hard. Seton will also be a year better with a lot of guys back from last year.” With DAC dominance established, Hooker is putting major emphasis on competing for the state title. “It is important for us to play as competitive of a schedule state-wide as we possibly can so that we can reach our ultimate goals. This might be the strongest schedule we have ever had. Our kids’ eyes were opened a little bit when we went down to Blue Ridge to play in the state quarterfinal and I think that will only make them better. I don’t think we were that far off last year.”

Scott ran the numbers and chose Roanoke By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

The key calculation mathematics lover Kiki Scott had to make was partly emotional. The Fauquier High volleyball star had to decide where best to go to school, play the sport she adores and plan for a future career. She chose Roanoke College where she’ll study actuarial science. “I went there because I was interested in the major,” Scott said during her Nov. 26 commitment ceremony. She said Roanoke is the only school in Virginia to offer the major, which involves analyzing statistics and could lead her into the world of finance. “I love math. It’s fascinating to be able to solve and figure things out,” she said of algebra through calculus. “That comes naturally to me.” With help from her mother Kristy, Scott also wanted a Mid-Atlantic school with a quality volleyball program. As far as NCAA Division III volleyball, the Maroons shine in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, going 86-50 over the five past years. Scott also enjoyed the aura of the program. “It’s a close knit team, and they get along well,” the Falcon said, also liking the coach’s style. “It’s very much like coach [Diana] Story, and I think I could adjust to that very easily. “It won’t be as demanding as D-I or D-II,” she said of the time restraints. “It seemed like a solid move for me.” Scott earned first-team status as an all-Northwestern District, all-Region 4C and all-Class 4 state accolades. She paced the 20-6 district champion Falcons with 293 kills. Scott also was second with 209 digs. She was also co-MVP of coach Story’s squad this year. “Kiki I have known for four years, and those four years seems like a lifetime,” Story said. “She is more to me than a volleyball player. What she has given to Fauquier volleyball is unmatched by a lot of people.” Scott will major in actuarial science and minor in accounting or a science. The actuarial science field has expanded to banking, finance, technology, public health and other sectors. The national average starting salary is more than $68,000. “That was a plus,” Scott said with a wide smile. “The minute I walked on that campus, I immediately fell in love with it,” she said. “It’s very small, quaint and it’s beautiful.”

Surrounded by balloons and family, Kiki Scott and Molly Ayres became the latest Falcon volleyball stars to sign, picking Roanoke College and Pitt-Johnstown, respectively.

Ayres’ second trip sealed the deal By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Fauquier High senior Molly Ayres enjoyed her initial visit to the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, but wasn’t ready to commit to play volleyball there. An impressive return trip to Johnstown prompted her decision to sign. “When I went there for the first time, it was so much fun. They were so nice and welcoming,” she said. “I got that gut feeling I want to be here,” said Ayres, who considered some Division I and other Division II schools, citing Radford, East Carolina, Georgia Southern and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Ayres transferred to Fauquier from Highland for her senior year. She knew many of the Falcons from youth soccer days, but there was one special

AND THEY’RE OFF

Kettle Run, Liberty, Fauquier wrestlers open strongly By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Led by gold medalists Alex Smith and Gabe Chumley, the Kettle Run wrestling squad placed second in The Wrench Tournament last Saturday at Brentsville. Woodbridge won the 10-school affair with 359 points to 258.5 for the Cougars. Forest Park (244.5) rounded out the top three positions. Smith had three falls and a major decision en route to a 5-0 mark at 145 pounds. He pinned Thomas Murray of McLean in 1:12 of the gold medal match. Chumley was 5-0 at 170, including three falls. In his championship match, Chumley recorded a 19-3 technical fall over Kaden Hobt of Forest Park.

Chumley was one of handful of Cougar football players who joined the program early last week, but coach Mike Foy was not surprised with the title. “Gabe’s tough. Him winning definitely did not surprise me,” Foy said of the senior. “His conditioning definitely was not there, but mentally he was ready.” Kettle Run also had six others place in the top four spots in their respective weights. Zane O’Connor was the 126-pound runner-up at 4-1. He posted three falls and a technical fall to reach the finals where he fell, 4-1, to Westfield’s Hunter Tibbetts. Matt Laughlin (113), Matt Jawan (182) and Chris Kallighan (220) each was 4-1 in bronze medal efforts. Alec Farewell

reason for the change. “Going to the same school as Rachel [Crowe], my best friend, and having my last year with her. That’s been a big thing,” said Ayres, who praises Highland coach Gary Hickland for helping to develop. “And to [coach] Diana [Story], I just thank her for making my last year great,” Ayres said happily. Ayres thinks joining the Metro Volleyball Club when she was 14 enhanced her skills and expectations. “Metro pushed me, so that’s when I knew that I wanted to play in college,” she said. Ayres pointed to Pitt-Johnstown’s success as another reason for her decision. The Mountain Cats won the Division II Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference championship in 2017 with a 27-9 record and reached the region semifinals. From 2015 through 2017, they compiled an 8126 mark for a 75.7 winning percentage. She hopes to major in early childhood education.

(132) and Mathew Alderman (160) both placed fourth with 3-2 records.

Eagles shine at King George

Liberty placed fourth out of 24 teams in the King George Duals, finishing as the top public school behind a trio of private school powerhouses. The Eagles defeated C.D. Hylton, 55-16, and Colonial Forge, 46-31, in pool action. In the championship quarterfinals, Liberty was a 46-24 victor versus King George. Mount Saint Joseph of Maryland posted a 73-3 decision in the semifinal round before Archbishop Spaulding won the bronze medal match, 45-22. In individual competition, Mason Barrett (106), William Winegardner (120) and Justin Cannon (195) each went 4-1. Royce Hall (17) was 3-0, and Bryan Contreras was 3-2 at 138 pounds.

Falcons take 5th at Skyline

Fauquier was the fifth place squad

at the Elite Opener at Skyline in a 12-school field with 269 points behind Robinson at 405, Great Bridge (308), Tallwood (288) and Oscar Smith (280), The Falcons earned a pair of gold medals in Kevin McEachin (182) and Sam Fisher 195, both finishing 5-0 in the event. David DeWald was the 152-pound runner-up, while Tommy Heisler took third at 220, both finishing 4-1. Also at 4-1, were fourthplace Darryl Mayfield (160) and Reese Kuhns (103). Ben Bell (220) and Casey Burr (285) were fourth with 3-2 marks.

WWW.FAUQUIER.COM BREED OF THE WEEK: THOROUGHBRED

The Thoroughbred is the star of Virginia’s horse industry By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series examining horse breeds represented in Fauquier County. The first, the Thoroughbred, has earned headlines worldwide winning races around the globe for centuries, as well as performing to the top level in sports ranging from three-day eventing to high-goal polo to national foxhunter championships.

Known since their development in the 1700s for speed, agility and spirit, the Thoroughbred horse was custom-bred in Great Britain by crossing native mares with stallions imported to England from the middle East. The horses were imported with the early settlers to the young American colonies, including Virginia, and soon became the breed of choice for racing, foxhunting, even cavalry mounts. Led by Secretariat, Virginia bloodstock has long topped the sport of Thoroughbred racing. Born in Caroline County, the 1973 Triple Crown winner is regarded as perhaps the best racehorse of all time and, may be the most recognizable Virginia-bred. Fauquier has also had Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont winners. Some of racing’s best were born and raised here, from Paul Mellon’s dual classic-winning homebred Mill Reef and Kentucky Derby-winning homebred Sea Hero to Tyson Gilpin’s Amerigo standing stud at Kilmaurs in Warrenton. Tonalist, raised at and campaigned by owners Rene and Lauren Woolcott’s Woodslane Farm, won the 2014 Belmont, and their Sadler’s Joy is a multiple graded stakes winner. Other legendary Fauquier Thoroughbred farms have included Isobel Dodge Sloan’s Brookmeade, James Mill’s Hickory Tree, Ned Evans’ Spring Hill, Rockburn, Newstead, Meadowville and many more.

TOP OF THE PYRAMID

Fauquier County is associated with world-class Thoroughbred breeding, training and competition. Millions of Thoroughbreds exist today, and around 100,000 foals are registered each year worldwide.

Meet the Thoroughbred The typical Thoroughbred ranges from 15.2 to 17.2 hands (62 to 70 inches) high, around 1,000 pounds. They are most often bay, dark bay, black, chestnut or gray. White is very rare, but is a recognized color separate from gray. The face and lower legs may have white markings. A Thoroughbred typically has a well-chiseled head on a relatively long neck, high withers, deep chest, short back, powerful hindquarters, lean muscling and long legs. Thoroughbreds are one of two “hot-blooded” breeds, Arabians being the other.

chasing, with Virginia’s rolls topped by champions such as this year’s Virginia Gold Cup winner Zanclus, born and raised in Casanova. Retired racehorses excel in the show ring as well. “Thoroughbreds are smart and brave,” said Denice DeRisio Perry, who most recently trained Dancing Ollie, unplaced in his brief race career but a winning show horse, to take the championship trophy at Swan Lake. “They’re light across the ground and most are extremely athletic.

Thoroughbreds are distinguished by a chiseled, typey head and intelligent eye, say breed aficionados. “They naturally want to go forward,” making re-training for performance careers much easier, Perry added. The Virginia Thoroughbred Association has long been located in Warrenton, central to the breeding group’s largest number of active members. The Virginia Steeplechase Association and Virginia Point-to-Point Association are also based in Fauquier.

Colonial Downs plans 15-day 2019 season By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

After five years without Thoroughbred racing, Colonial Downs is planning a 15-day meet between Aug. 6 to Sept. 7, 2019, with as much as $500,000 in daily purses. The New Kent County track lost its racing license after the 2013 meet when prior owner Jacobs Entertainment could not agree on live racing dates with horsemen. Buoyed by new ownership and the prospect of millions from so-called “historical horseracing” machines, Colonial Downs is hoping for a grand return.

“I think it’s fair to say that ownership has been very bullish about ... revitalizing horseracing in Virginia,” John Marshall, Revolutionary Racing’s general manager, told the Daily Racing Form. Plans next fall call for racing Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for five weeks in August and September. Management hopes to expand to 30 racing days over 10 weeks in 2020 with over $600,000 a day in purses. Revolutionary Racing, which purchased the track this year, is taking advantage of legislation allowing horse racing-style slot machines, which use results of previously run

races to determine winning payouts. “We’re hopeful for big numbers because this expands betting,” said Frank Petramalo, executive director of the Virginia Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association. New OTBs are being built in Richmond, Hampton and near Martinsville. “Those are big population centers, and we expect them to do very well.” To place an OTB in Fauquier requires a county referendum, something Petramalo said Colonial may consider once they’re in operation. “They’d probably like to expand this direction because of Northern Virginia’s ... population.”

Winter weather tips for a healthier you By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

Seasonal long-range forecasts are fun to peruse but don’t hold your breath that they will come to pass. When we can get accurate weekly forecasts down pat, we might be more inclined to believe a three-month one. But warm, cold, wet or dry, you can be certain all of it will be visited upon us during our coming mid-Atlantic winter. Now is the time to prepare for the messy onslaught to maintain peak health. Spring will ultimately prevail and you want to be healthy to enjoy the returning balmy breezes. A host of information is available from the internet on how best to survive and thrive during the winter months. But perhaps the most reliable source of enlightenment is to chat up a physician who has experienced winter’s woes first-hand and knows what it can do to his patients. Fortunately, Fauquier County is blessed with resources on the subject matter. One of those is Dr. William Simpson, co-founder of Piedmont Internal Medicine who has 25 years of experience under his stethoscope. The good doctor sold his practice last year and this spring launched Doc At Your Door. It’s a throwback to how medicine was practiced a century ago. The concept is gaining traction as modern medicine becomes increasingly more impersonal. We caught up with Simpson as he darted around the Fauquier County region, visiting both homebound and ambulatory patients at their residences. His “office” has four wheels and fires up whenever there’s a need to treat patients ranging from youngsters to septuagenarians and older.

So, doctor, what are your recommendations?

proven safe. People with shots have less incidence of infection and, if infected, it’s less severe. The older you are, the flu shot is even more important. Seniors should also have both pneumonia shots, which are typically recommended for people over 65. The first is called Pneumovax23 and protects against 23 types of pneumonia. A year after the first shot, patients should get a second one called Prevnar13, which protects against an additional 13 types of pneumonia. Anyone over 70 who comes down with pneumonia can have a terminal outcome, so it’s important to avoid infections with these shots. If you do get the flu, get anti-viral medicine within 48 hours of the first symptoms. It can really diminish the severity of the flu.

Wash your hands frequently and that includes using hand sanitizers in restaurants. You are handling menus and salt and pepper shakers that other people have touched. In restrooms, grab a paper towel and turn the water off with the towel. Also, don’t share or accept food from other’s plates or drinks at parties.

Avoid getting damp and chilled. It’s not the dampness or the chilliness that’s the problem. But if you have a virus in your system or not enough sleep, it allows those viruses to propagate.

here is be alert to these potential dangers and act in preventive ways to avoid them to the degree you can.

Watch your weight. During winter there is a tendency to gain weight. You’re eating more and are often less active. It’s important to watch the calories; eating slowly is important. Avoid going back for second and third helpings and drink lots of water. New Year’s resolutions are often centered on diets. But remember, the faster you lose weight the faster you are likely to gain it back.

Avoid crash workouts. Jumping on a treadmill for 45 minutes to make up for a lack of exercise or to lose weight can result in tendinitis and shin splints. Start any exercise program slowly. Again, this is the time of year orthopedists see a lot of such injuries.

Avoid super-hot water. Take shorter showers and back off from really hot water, which can dry out the skin. Avoid deodorant soaps like Dial and Safeguard and use ones like Dove, which are gentler on the skin and less drying. Use body creams on dry areas to reduce itchiness.

reflux response. Nicotine and alcohol further worsen reflux so eliminate tobacco and reduce alcohol consumption.

Be alert to Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. With diminished daylight during the winter, depression can become a problem. Increasing the lighting in your home will help counter the problem. Also, the use of brightlight therapy can help counter the effects of the syndrome. Such lights are widely available for home use.

Beware of outdoor irritants. Finally, any urge to rake leaves or trim landscape during the winter months should be undertaken with caution. While the leaves of poison ivy plants will have dropped, the vines can still inflame skin with a rash. Be cautious when handling them. All good advice.

The last zap In July I was diagnosed with breast cancer, specifically DCIS. Ductal carcinoma in situ means the cells that line the milk ducts of the breast have become cancerous, but they have not spread into surrounding breast tissue. I was very fortunate as DCIS is considered non-invasive or pre-invasive breast cancer. I penned a column in early August sharing my reaction to the news and that I would be undergoing a lumpectomy soon and most likely radiation treatments after that. I made the decision to go public with a personal health issue in a straightforward commentary to share what I learned with others as it was all pretty new information for me. Several who read the column reached out to me over the following weeks. Many shared their own stories of dealing with cancer, offering encouragement, prayers and well wishes. All were very positive. It was very gratifying to receive these messages – most of them from women whom I didn’t know. Cancer started the communication. Now, as we approach Christmas, I can report that all is well, but I have more to share. After the surgery had a chance

FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN to heal, radiation treatments started. The most uncomfortable part is getting measured for the procedure. Not painful but awkward as you get pricked–pinhead-size tattoos—and literally marked in felt pen. Think of registry marks on your body. The radiation treatments were daily, five days a week skipping the weekends, at a set time each day. There were 21 of them, so roughly a month. My husband Don drove me there every day like clockwork. Looking back, I think it may have been harder on him than me. I was in, then out; it doesn’t take long. For him, the lobby was usually full of other patients, some of them receiving radiation, others chemotherapy. It is sobering. I usually saw the same two technicians daily. They were very professional and very caring. There was one day that I found myself teary ... I think it’s the vulnerability thing. You have to trust unconditionally.

I asked how many patients they see each day. The answer was from 25-35. That is sobering. I gained a few pounds during October. A side benefit of getting these treatments is that a couple a times a week my husband and I would stop for breakfast before he dropped me off at work. Pancakes and sausages, cups of coffee, gentle conservations…it was all part of a healing process. I see that now and while I grimace at extra pounds, I wouldn’t trade our new favorite comfort food restaurant and our time together. Thanksgiving was heavenly. It took me several days to recover from the cooking marathon but sitting down at the table with my family and now three grandbabies was a cherished moment. Curiously, having and surviving cancer is a gift. It is a gift of perspective. It affords a new window on the world. It becomes crystal clear what your priorities are and what you value. There are so many battlefields that aren’t worth dying on – workplace drama or that parking spot the other

guy gets or that remark that you took as personal ... the list goes on and on. My surgeon was part of a larger group of doctors headed by Dr. John P. Williams. During the process, I learned of his series of videos, a cancer course of sorts, where he describes the various procedures patients may encounter. Williams is a leader in breast cancer patient education and an advocate for patient involvement in their cancer care decisions. If you or a family member or friend are dealing with breast cancer, visit www.breastcancercourse.org. My last radiation treatment was Oct. 29. I follow up with my surgeon and the radiologist in the next year. I’m feeling good. I am very fortunate. My blessings far outweigh my burdens. There was a team approach to my care and certainly a team approach to healing and recovery. For all of you who reached out, thank you. For me, it will indeed be a merry Christmas.

Warrenton counseling center continues with new owner Staff Reports Award-winning Warrenton therapist Marianne Clyde has announced her retirement and will transfer the ownership of her counseling center later this month to Anna Marie Askin-Evans, a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked at the center since 2015. “I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that the work I started here years ago will continue under very capable hands,” Clyde, a therapist for 28 years, said in a news release. Clyde spent more than eight of those years in Warrenton. She is the author of three Amazon bestsellers: “Peaceful Parenting: 10 Essential Principles,” “Un-Leashed: Practical Steps to get your Life Unstuck” and “Zentivity™: How to Eliminate Chaos, Stress and Discontent in Your Workplace.” Clyde notes that while there will be some changes at the counseling center, much will remain the same. The center will have a new name – the “Center for Holistic Psychotherapy” – and a new website: www. centerforholisticpsychotherapy.com. “Clients will still get the same amazing service by competent and effective therapists,” Clyde said. The center will remain at 20 Ashby St., in Warrenton, and can be reached by phone at 540-347-3797. Askin-Evans is the director of adolescent programs and will continue to lead the diversion program for low-risk teens in partnership with the Fauquier County Court Services Unit.

A new life for mother’s silver via ‘upcycling’ By Vicky Moon

Recycling and upcycling: What’s the difference?

Contributing Writer

The art or practice of upcycling is defined as “creative re-use.” As I began writing about this subject, I realized I’ve been practicing the concept for years. There are websites devoted to it, including upcyclethat.com. The ideas are fascinating and endless, from transforming an old chair into a garden ornament to finding new uses for old chandeliers or old bird cages. I started upcycling ages ago with a horse-show trophy that used to be a silver-plated champagne ice bucket. It worked as the perfect water bowl for my beloved Old English sheepdog Sudsy. Most guests to my then-cottage at St. Bride’s Farm in Upperville were amused. Some were mortified. “How could you?” they asked. Two reasons: I didn’t have to refill it as often and the height was such that he didn’t have to bend his head down to drink, a current trend in canine consumption. My late mother had a beautiful set of sterling silver from Towle in the pattern of Old Lace. She cherished it, as I do now. Each time I open the Pacific Silvercloth-lined wooden box, the same familiar smell takes me back to when I “helped” her set the table for holidays and dinner parties. It was a lesson in placement: the knife edges facing in, the series of spoons or forks progressing from outside-in, according to what is served first. And then there’s the bread plate. This

goes to the top left of the dinner plate at about 11 o’clock. The butter-spreader is placed on a diagonal across the top of the plate with the handle to the right and the edge facing down. I recently gathered the butter spreaders – not to be confused with the butter knife, which is used to cut the stick into pieces as it’s passed or served. The spreaders are small and smooth. I held one to my wrist and the bells and whistles went off.

They’re still lovely but have remained unused for years. Would these possibly translate to cuff bracelets for three special little girls in my family? I sent a note to Erin Driver at Warrenton Jewelers. Would they be able to do the upcycling? Her husband, Jim Driver, is a master goldsmith and did a charming makeover. “He heated the silver to extremely high heat to make it bendable, then formed it into a cuff bracelet,” Erin Driver said. The gifts are wrapped and ready. Next, I could use some ideas on how to upscale a slew of seafood forks. Any suggestions? Reach Vicky Moon at Vickyannmoon@aol.com

Recycling and upcycling have different processes. In the recycling process, items are broken down to be reused. Paper is shredded and turned into pulp; plastic is shredded and melted into pellets; glass is smashed and melted to be recast. This downcycling is an essential step in the recycling process, but it does degrade the value of the materials. Upcycling is a creative process where waste is looked at as a resource. Materials are reused in a clever new way, giving them a second life and function. Think of a pallet coffee table. Upcycling transforms the pallet into a lovely piece of furniture. Both recycling and upcycling are important as they reuse materials instead of throwing them away. Less landfill waste has a positive impact on the environment. Upcyclethat.com

‘What’s on your bucket list?’ Have you ever had that one place you’ve just always wanted to go? For me, Turks and Caicos has been on my list, forever. I recently had the privilege of visiting it for a few days. With at least 28 island nations and more than 7,000 individual islands in the Caribbean, there is no way I could pick a favorite; however, Turks and Caicos is in the top five! Turks and Caicos is located 575 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. The country is a British overseas territory with a population of about 30,000 spread over nine inhabited islands. For an easy getaway, you can be there in under five hours from several major U.S. cities. You want that blue, turquoise water that you see in so many of the pictures of the Caribbean? You will find it there, along with the white sand! Grace Bay Beach is the most well-known beach in that area. Although Turks and Caicos is located in the Atlantic (not the Caribbean), it’s definitely part of the Ca-

ALESIA HOUSE ribbean culture. That culture is fully reflected in the food and hospitality. If you’re really wanting to escape, feel the ocean breezes, and unplug, or if you’re looking for peace and tranquility, this is a fantastic place to visit. It’s not the usual high-traffic tourist area, and the locals will not haggle you to buy their items. Many people come here just to relax at their resort and never leave the property. The area has about 350 sunny days a year with temperatures averaging in the 80s for the highs and the 70s for the lows. How perfect is that? The water temperatures year-round are 82-84 degrees. More than half of

Fauquier Community Theatre presents holiday musical ‘She Loves Me’ Staff Reports Considered to be one of the most charming musicals ever written, “She Loves Me” is presented by Fauquier Community Theatre through Dec. 16 in Warrenton. The holiday production is a warm romantic comedy with a heartwarming story that inspired the films “The Shop Around the Corner” and “You’ve Got Mail”. Set in a 1930s European perfumery, shop clerks, Amalia and Georg, respond to a “lonely hearts advertisement” in the newspaper and they live for the love letters that they receive. The identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves... and of all the twists and turns along the way! “She Loves Me” premiered in 1964 and continues with many successful runs on Broadway. The music is written by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, both of “Fiddler on the Roof” fame. The musical is based on the book by Joe Masteroff who also authored “Cabaret.” Fauquier Community Theatre’s production of “She Loves Me” showcases a talented cast playing a range of memorable characters and music. The production is directed by Diane King, with vocal direction by Ivy Elizabeth, choreographed by Laura Crowne, and produced by Laurie Bersack. “She Loves Me” promises to be a spectacular fun evening for the family. Director Diane King remarks, “When I discovered this gem of a show, I knew I had to

The island also has the largest above ground caves in the Caribbean. Additionally, it’s home to the largest conch farm. Conch is a sea snail with noticeable shells; the meat is edible and cooked in various forms on the island. Providenciales is home to the world’s only commercial conch farm. The area has a relatively flat terrain, so you will not find the usual mountains, cliffs, and jungles or even waterfalls that you would see on other islands. It’s all about the water there!

tlemen were active in their churches and the community; they will be greatly missed by their families and in their community activities. We ask that you keep their families close to your hearts in the coming days. Henry Baxley was an engineer, graduate of Virginia Military Institute (Class of 1951), served in Korea and was an integral part of the Fauquier Community Theatre for many years. Henry was a true "gentleman" with kindness to all and a delightful sense of humor. A lifelong member of Leeds Episcopal Church, he served as treasurer of the church for 27 years and as head of the Leeds Cemetery for more than 30 years. There are some great stories about Henry, Fred and John Wayland and their mischievous behavior in church during their younger days. James Poles was a member of Beulah Baptist Church in Markham where he served as chairman of the Deacon Board and as church clerk. He loved his home in Hume, enjoyed his farming and the cattle and was very proud of his family. Congratulations to Julie and Jerry Moser, owners of Fair Haven Kennel in Orlean, who recently were awarded the Best Kennel in Marshall recognition by the Marshall Award group.

540-347-2922 MASS SCHEDULE

DEEPER UNDERSTANDING If you have ever wondered where the term “six feet under” came from, its origination can be traced to the Great Plague of London in 1665, when 20 percent of the city’s population succumbed to the Bubonic plague. In the belief that burying the dead a safe distance underground could help stop the spread of disease, The Lord Mayor of London mandated that all graves be dug a minimum of six feet deep. However, because dead bodies were never found to spread the plague to the living, the law was eventually overturned in England and its colonies. It was later reinstated in order to discourage grave robbing. The earliest human burial dates back 100,000 years making it one of the longestlived and most widespread of traditions. We have the deepest respect for this traditional practice. If you are interested in learning more about the burial services we offer, 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.
