‘Clean Virginia’ backs candidates ditching Dominion Environmental group endorses 9 local Dems By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
Dominion Energy is a major source of campaign cash for Virginia’s state lawmakers. But nine Democratic legislators and candidates from Prince William County who are refusing the utility’s donations are getting a boost from an environmental advocacy group for just that reason. Clean Virginia, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group based in
Charlottesville, recently released a list of endorsements and announced plans to invest $1 million in Virginia’s elections for state offices in November. The group is backing seven local Democratic incumbents -- Sen. Jeremy McPike (29th), Del. Haya Ayala (51st), Del. John Bell (87th), Del. Lee Carter (50th), Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy (2nd), Del. Elizabeth Guzman (31st) and Del. Danica Roem (13th) -- as well as Democratic challengers Dan Helmer, who is running against Del. Tim Hugo, R-40th, and Qasim Rashid, who is opposing state Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th. Many of the endorsed legislators
have already received hefty campaign donations from Clean Virginia’s PAC, the Clean Virginia Fund, and from the group’s chairman and founder Michael Bills. The PAC and Bills have contributed $130,000 to Prince William lawmakers this year, according to Virginia Public Access Project. Bills is the former chief investment officer of the University of Virginia’s endowment and founder and chief investment officer of Bluestem Asset Management, LLC. Bills was vice president of Goldman Sachs from 1981 to 1986. See CLEAN VA, page 4
More than 35,000 driver’s licenses restored By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
More than 35,000 Virginians have had their driver’s licenses reinstated since July 1 as a result of a new law that prohibits state courts from suspending driving privileges solely for unpaid court fines and costs, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. On Monday, July 22, Gov. Ralph Northam stopped in Dumfries to help spread the word about the new law, which state officials say affects more than 600,000 people across the state, including about 13,000 residents of Prince William and Fauquier counties and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park whose licenses were previously suspended because of unpaid court fines and fees. Speaking at First Mount Zion Baptist Church, Northam (D) said the change is an important step to address inequities in the state’s criminal justice system because driver’s license suspensions for court fees disproportionately “affect people with lower socio-economic status.” Ending the practice is a “winwin” in Virginia because many people impacted by the law were unable to find employment without a driver’s license or reliable mode of transportation. The new law would help those individuals get back to work, Northam said. See LICENSES, page 2

Local vet reunites Kentucky couple with dog lost 2 years ago By Robin Earl and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writer
When Dale Vinson first got the phone call Thursday, he thought it was some kind of joke. Someone was on the line from Virginia, telling him they had found Herman, the little white dog he and his wife Nancy thought they’d lost forever two years ago. “Well, we’d done given up on him. We just figured we’d never see him again,” Vinson said. But the couple jumped in the car as soon as they realized it really was true – that their beloved 8-year-old bichon frise, Herman, had been identified by Warrenton Veterinarian Dr. Steven Bartlett during an appointment that morning. Bartlett’s assistant Amanda Baker told them that a young woman named Sarah Sandborn brought Herman into the Animal Medical Center in Warrenton for a check-up. She said they didn’t have any paperwork or shot records for the little white dog they called “Joseph” because she hadn’t had him for long.
Sandborn explained that she had been staying with family in Kentucky, where the tiny bichon frise had been living. When something like that happens, the office’s protocol is to check the animal for a microchip, a device about the size of a grain of rice that uses passive radio frequency technology to record information about a pet’s owner. As it turned out, “Joseph” had a microchip tucked beneath the skin between his shoulder blades. That’s how the Animal Medical Center realized “Joseph” was actually Herman.
How Herman went missing
Vinson said they last saw Herman in the summer of 2017. He’d followed Nancy out to the mailbox to fetch the mail, like he did every day. Their house is on a hill, a ways up from the mailbox, so it’s a bit of a walk to get there, Vinson said. On the way back, Nancy looked down and realized that Herman wasn’t following her like he usually did. Then, when Nancy set back down

It was hard to tell who was happier at the reunion, Nancy Vinson or Herman. the hill to find him, she saw a truck stopped along the road in front of their house. She couldn’t catch up with the truck fast enough to see why it stopped, but she never saw Herman again, so she assumed the person in the truck took him, Vinson said.
They kept looking for him for a long while but finally gave up, he said. Back in Warrenton, Baker had to tell Sandborn that Joseph/Herman had a microchip and that the owners had already been contacted. Baker said such reunions are rare. They’ve never before found a dog that was lost from so far away and for so long. Still, it’s an example of the importance of micro-chipping a pet. It costs about $60 to insert a microchip and about $20 a year to maintain a pet’s registry with the microchipping company. When Herman walked into the waiting room Friday, Nancy Vinson called his name. The little white dog ran right to them and the reunion began. The couple stayed to snap a few pictures and then said they planned to head right back home to Kentucky with Herman. Nancy Vinson said, “If only he could talk and tell us where he’s been.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Planners OK new church in the rural crescent, nursing home near Colgan High By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William Planning Commission gave its blessing this week to a 30,000-square-foot church in the county’s rural crescent and a nursing home proposed next to Charles J. Colgan Sr. High School. Both projects sparked opposition from nearby residents over various concerns, including increased traffic, access to groundwater and a perceived incompatibility with the surrounding area. The planning commission had deferred in June a decision on the church after hearing neighbors’ opposition. The church will be the new home of Monterey Church, a nondenominational Christian congregation that has about 100 members and meets at Patriot High School, according to Executive Pastor Moe Lawlor. The church is planned for a 16.57acre site at 9514 Auburn Road, which is near the intersection of Auburn and Vint Hill roads. The area is zoned A-1 agricultural and is located within the county’s rural crescent. Churches are allowed in the rural crescent but require a special-use permit from the Prince William County Board of Supervisors. Residents intent on keeping the county’s rural northwest border as rural as possible have objected to large buildings there in the past, most recently in 2017 when the supervisors approved a controversial special-use permit for an All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque, which has not yet been built. The mosque was granted permission to tap into the county’s sewer line. The Monterey Church sparked a similar but smaller outcry despite the fact that it will operate on a well and septic system. By policy, residences and buildings in the rural crescent are generally prohibited from connecting to the county’s water and sewer lines. Sherman Patrick, the attorney representing Monterey Church, presented a revised plan on Wednesday, July 24, that reduced the size of the church and eliminated a parking lot. The building would house a 400seat sanctuary but would be no more
than 50 feet tall. The parking lot will have no more than 180 parking spaces, and the building would be set back 400 feet from Auburn Road to make it less visible from the intersection, Patrick said. Some residents expressed concern the church could jeopardize nearby private wells by using too much water. But county planning staff said they consulted the state health department’s office of drinking water and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and determined the church would use about 800 gallons of water daily – or about the equivalent of four single-family homes. The DEQ said the church might have difficulty tapping into a well site on the property that will yield enough water, however, because the property is located on a “diabase” dike. Diabase is a “very hard crystalline rock that is somewhat notorious for producing low well yields … mainly because the rock is relatively young and, in many places, unfractured,” the staff report said. Before voting to recommend the county board of supervisors approve a special-use permit for the church, Planning Commissioner Don Taylor (at large) asked the church leaders to hold another meeting with area residents to discuss the design of the church building.
Rezoning approved for nursing home
In a separate action, the planning commission voted to recommend the board of supervisors rezone about 9 acres near Va. 234 and Hoadly Road to accommodate a new, 200-bed nursing home. The area, known as the Geisler property, has been under discussion for development for about 10 years. The owner is requesting the land be rezoned from A-1 agricultural to B-2, or “business-neighborhood.” The plan, presented by the landowner’s attorney, Michael Vanderpool, includes the 200-bed nursing home and two shopping center buildings, one 7,500 square feet and the other 5,400 square feet.

If the plan is approved, vehicles would access the nursing home site from Va. 234. But because of an existing median along the roadway, vehicles heading south on Va. 234 would have to make a U-turn to enter the site. The board of supervisors has yet to schedule a hearing for either the special-use permit or the nursing home rezoning. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

‘Clean Virginia’ backs candidates ditching Dominion CLEAN VA, from page 1 Bell has received the most money from Clean Virginia of any Prince William politician, taking a combined $55,000 from the Clean Virginia Fund and Bills in 2019. Bell is leaving his House seat to run for the 13th District state Senate seat, a post currently held by retiring Republican Sen. Dick Black. In a statement, Clean Virginia said its endorsements are based on candidates’ commitments to clean energy and their refusal to accept campaign cash from energy monopolies like Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power. The organization has accused Dominion of using its deep pockets to influence policy decisions made by the state legislature and of overcharging Dominion customers. “Virginians are ready to elect candidates who truly represent their communities and the future of Virginia,” said Clean Virginia Executive Director Brennan Gilmore. Dominion has denied the accusations made by Clean Virginia, and pushed back on their claims that the utility has slowed renewable energy advances in the state. “We’re focused on clean, affordable, reliable energy for Virginians. That doesn’t appear to be the focus of hedgefund billionaire Michael Bills and his dark money alliance with failed 2013 gubernatorial candidate Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli,” said Dominion spokesperson Rayhan Daudani. Cuccinelli, a Republican, is a former Virginia attorney general and is part of a libertarian group called FreedomWorks that recently joined forces with eight organizations, including Clean Virginia, to form the Virginia Energy Reform Coalition. The group is calling for reforms to change the state’s current regulation of monopoly electric utilities and aims to create a competitive retail market they say will lead to “greater consumer choice, reduced energy bills, and higher levels of innovation.” Clean Virginia has also pointed to the rising cost of utility bills in the region as a reason to support candidates who refuse campaign money from electric utilities, saying the state’s utilities had successfully lobbied for legislation that enables them to overcharge ratepayers. Clean Virginia says the state’s residential customers pay the 11th highest electric bills in the country. The State Corporation Commission reported that Dominion’s average customer bill had increased from $90.59 in 2007 to $115 in 2018, while Appalachian Power’s average residential bill had increased from $66.61 in 2007 to $115.62 in 2018. Fact-checking website Politifact said Clean Virginia’s claim that Virginians pay the 11th highest electric bills in the nation was only partly true. While Virginia residents did have the 11th highest electric bills in the nation, it was not because of high rates but because Virginia residents use more electricity than residents in
most other states, Politifact said. Dominion is the largest electric utility in Virginia, serving 2.2 million residential customers and more than 250,000 commercial and industrial customers. The company is also one of state’s largest corporate campaign donors, contributing $368,000 to state lawmakers and political campaigns in 2018, according to VPAP.

Coal ash, climate change
Several lawmakers representing Prince William County who received Clean Virginia’s endorsement said they are refusing campaign donations from the state’s largest electric utilities because the utilities engaged in activities that were harmful to the environment and hadn’t done enough to address the impact of climate change. “Climate change is the largest non-military threat our country faces, and you can see the effects of it here in your own backyard. That’s why I refuse to take any campaign contributions from big electric company monopolies, and I have voted to make them accountable for their coal-ash runoff. It is environmentally and morally the right thing to do,” Ayala said. In the last 15 years, Dominion and Appalachian Power, the state’s second largest electric utility, have shifted away from coal in favor of natural gas energy production -- a cleaner fossil fuel alternative that emits less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Both utilities are making efforts to increase the amount energy produced by renewable resources like solar, biomass and wind. Dominion reported that 7% of its total energy sales in Virginia came from renewable energy sources in 2017; the company is aiming to boost that number to 15% by 2025. But Dominion has been dogged by its reluctance to clean up hazardous coal ash buried at its power plants across the Commonwealth. The General Assembly passed legislation in 2019 that requires Dominion to excavate and clean up 27 million cubic yards of coal ash it currently stores in mostly unlined pits at four power plants in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, including about 4 million cubic yards of toxic ash at Possum Point in Prince William County. Foy said Dominion’s lobbying in Richmond had dissuaded her from accepting campaign donations from the state’s electric utilities. Foy was a sponsor of HB 2105, which ordered Dominion to clean up its coal ash landfills. “From the very beginning of my campaign in 2017, I made the very conscious decision to not accept money from Dominion,” Foy said. “I took issue with the fact that they’re one of the only entities in the Commonwealth of Virginia that actually writes its own legislation.” Helmer, a Democrat challenging Hugo, also said he wouldn’t accept campaign contributions from corporations, including the state’s electric utilities. Helmer raised $290,878 from individual donors between January 2018 and June 2019, more than

Sticking with Dominion
In addition to rewarding candidates who spurn Dominion donations, Clean Virginia encourages Virginians to urge their state lawmakers to do the same. In Prince William County, the list of lawmakers still accepting such donations includes both Republicans and Democrats. Hugo, for example, has accepted $71,707 from Dominion since he was first elected in 2002. Since the beginning of the year, Hugo’s campaign took in $5,188 from Dominion, as well as $4,000 in donations from Dominion executives. Hugo has also received $5,000 from Appalachian Power and $5,000 from Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives, according to VPAP. But Hugo says his votes in the General Assembly are influenced solely by his constituents and not by his campaign donors. He also contends Helmer’s plans would increase the cost of electric bills statewide. “I am proud to have worked with Dominion on a pilot program to bury power lines in Prince William County, and it was at my insistence that a third-party study was conducted last year on potential environmental impact after an oil spill occurred at the substation in Clifton,” Hugo said. “My opponent is only making this a campaign issue to distract from the
fact that he supports a plan that will dramatically increase electric rates for consumers across Virginia.” Democrats still taking money from state utilities include Del. Luke Torian (52nd) and state Sens. George Barker (39th) and Scott Surovell (36th). Torian has received $17,250 in campaign contributions from Dominion and $9,500 from Appalachian Power since he was elected in 2009. Surovell has received $5,000 from Appalachian Power and $4,572 from Dominion since being elected state Senator in 2015. Barker has received $19,227 from Dominion and $3,250 from Appalachian Power since being elected in 2007. Surovell, who is running unopposed this fall, has been a frequent critic of Dominion and pushed the utility for four years to remove its coal ash from unlined pits to either recycle or transfer it to modern, fully-lined landfills. Still, Surovell said he hasn’t joined his fellow Democrats in refusing Dominion donations because he tries to avoid “absolutist stances” on issues and contends the money he’s received from Dominion is minimal. “I have raised more money from individuals and small donors than any other incumbent legislator in the last 10 years. Dominion’s support is a fraction of what I have received,” he said in an email. “If my constituents think Dominion contributions have affected my vote over the last decade, they can look at my record. I have probably voted against Dominion more often than I have voted in favor of bills they support.” Torian and Barker declined to respond to requests for comment.

400 Years of democracy and some scars to show for it
The law was already changing when McQuigg defended state’s gay marriage ban On July 17, the Prince William County Parks and Recreation Commission put the brakes on Supervisor Ruth Anderson’s request to name a new park in the Occoquan District for the late Michele McQuigg, a former supervisor, state delegate and Prince William County clerk of court who passed away in 2017. McQuigg, a Republican, served 25 years in elected office and gave many more years to various volunteer efforts around the county. But it was her decision in 2014 to volunteer to defend the state’s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage that gave the parks and rec commissioners pause regarding the name request. Six of the eight board members voted to form a new naming committee to consider other possible suggestions. McQuigg volunteered to be a defendant in the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on gay marriage while she was serving as clerk of the circuit court, the post charged with issuing marriage licenses in Prince William County. She joined Norfolk Clerk of the Circuit Court George E. Schaefer III, who was initially named as a defendant in the case. Earlier that year, Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, declined to defend the state’s same-sex marriage ban, saying he, too, believed it unconstitutional. The plaintiffs in the 2014 lawsuit were two gay couples: Timothy Bostic and Tony London, of Norfolk, and Carol Schall and Mary Townley, of Richmond. Bostic and London applied for a marriage license in Norfolk Circuit Court in 2013, but were denied. Schall and Townley were legally married in California in 2008 and had a teenage daughter. Townley is the girl’s mother, but Virginia law kept Schall from being the girl’s adoptive mother. McQuigg’s defenders on the parks and rec commission said her decision to volunteer as a defendant in the lawsuit was a matter of her standing up for “the rule of law.” But the U.S. Constitution allows
laws to be made (and dismantled) by more than one branch of government, and gay marriage was well on its way to becoming legal across the country when McQuigg decided to involve herself in the lawsuit on behalf of her Prince William County constituents. Here’s where things stood when McQuigg made that decision: • Gay marriage was legal, due to a mix of court decisions and legislative actions, in 18 states, including Maryland (2012) and Washington, D.C. (2009). • By early 2014, there had been about 183,280 gay marriages across the country, according to the New York Times. • In April 2013, a majority of the U.S. Senate had expressed support for same-sex marriage, including three Republicans. Also in that year, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the federal Defense of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional “as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment.” • In 2012, President Barack Obama, who during his initial years in office endorsed only civil unions for gay couples, became the first sitting U.S. president to publicly support same-sex marriage. The lawsuit in which McQuigg intervened was ultimately unsuccessful. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in October 2014 not to hear the case, a decision that effectively legalized gay marriage in Virginia. That happened about eight months before the high court decided the case that declared gay marriage legal across the U.S. in June 2015. While Virginia’s constitutional amendment banning gay marriage was approved by 57 percent of the state’s electorate in 2006, the tide of public opinion turned fairly quickly on the issue. That change – which began as early as 1999 in Vermont – was already well under way when McQuigg decided to defend Virginia’s same-sex marriage ban in 2014.
On July 30, 1619, 22 men met in Jamestown for what eventually would become the longest, continuing, democratically-elected legislative body in the western hemisphere. They were originally called burgesses, and their meeting was an experiment in representative democracy that changed the world. This week, the nation importantly celebrates the 400th anniversary of that historic gathering. While the experiment of democracy in the New World ultimately led to some incredible results, Virginia’s democracy was far from perfect. Some of the most egregious scars were Virginia’s laws that codified, encouraged, tolerated and forced enslavement on African people, forcibly brought first to Point Comfort in today’s Hampton a few weeks after the House of Burgesses’ inaugural meeting. For most Virginia’s history, the state had laws designed to discourage voting and perpetuate elite power. In 1619, only adult, white men who were not enslaved or indentured servants could vote. After various experiments and Bacon’s Rebellion, legislators enacted property ownership requirements for voting so onerous that three decades after American independence in 1776, one-third of adult, white Virginia men still were still not allowed to vote. This law especially affected Virginians west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In fact, the legislature did not abolish property ownership voting requirements until 232 years after democracy began in Virginia. When Reconstruction Era constitutional reforms pushed voter participation to new levels, white backlash brought state-sanctioned discrimination openly directed at African and Native Americans resulting in voting policies designed to reduce turnout to only the “right” voters -- wealthy white people. Voter turnout dropped from 264,000 voters in the 1900 presidential election to 130,000 four years later thanks to the poll tax, literacy test and felon voter disenfranchisement. Like many other states, Virginia’s laws also barred women from voting until the 19th Amendment became law on August 18, 1920 -- 301 years after the founding of democracy in the western hemisphere that we celebrate. Virginia refused to even ratify the 19th Amendment until 1952. With women voting, Virginia voter turnout jumped from 232,000 in 1920 to 305,000 by 1928. Virginia also has a long history of abusive gerrymandering. In the first 300 years, the legislature periodically refused to redraw legislative districts in order to perpetuate the power of wealthy landowners in the

Tidewater. By 1960, fear of minority, lower-income whites and ultimately progressive Democrats meant districts had little relation to population and some congressional districts had 50 percent more residents than others. In 1962, Fairfax County was given one state senator after seeing 179% population growth between 1950-60. The U.S. Supreme Court ended this with “one man, one vote” in Baker v. Carr in 1962. Entrenched power worked to keep minority influence down in other ways. For example, Virginia cities often annexed neighboring county land as “white flight” gave rise to more minority voting in cities, particularly in Richmond. After many counties converted into cities (cities could not annex land from other cities), the General Assembly enacted an annexation moratorium in 1987. Virginia’s blemished history is one reason many Virginians object to efforts to restrictive measures like voter identification laws. Considering the current majority of the House of Delegates was decided by the flip of a film cannister, one cannot help but think these policies make a difference in maintaining power. Last month, I was in Greece where democracy was invented. As I travelled the country and saw many old statues, I wondered how many were hated by subsequent generations, torn down and replaced. I also wondered how a society that achieved so much, ruled the western world and created much of the foundational elements of western culture could come crashing down and exist today with a population smaller than Virginia and an economy smaller than that of the states of Oregon and Tennessee. Our current national political environment has demonstrated that many basic, norms that Americans thought were permanent can be shattered. The last two millennia and Virginia’s last four centuries show that democracy can be a fickle thing if we do not protect it. So while we honor the 400th anniversary of democracy in Virginia on July 30, 2019, please remember our scarred history. The writer, a Democrat, is a state senator representing the 36th District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties.

In another classic duel, the Sudley Seahorses downed the Piedmont Tsunamis for the Prince William Swim League Blue Division title.
Sudley Seahorses gallop to historic times, win Blue Division By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
In 1988, a group of four girls set their Sudley Seahorses’ team record in the age 15-18 200-meter freestyle relay. Katherine Ripol, Jenny Grizzard, Suzi McManus and Laura Hutchens combined to finish in 1 minute, 56.65 seconds, and their time remained the team’s best for 30 years, becoming Sudley’s longest-standing record across all events. At least until this weekend. Two of their daughters helped break that record Saturday while also helping the Seahorses win the 2019 Prince William Swim League Blue Division championship. Whitley Williams and Sydney Craft broke their mothers’ record by combining with Mairead Geiran and Charlotte Pizzillo to finish that 200 free relay in 1:55.78 and place second at Sudley’s pool in Manassas. That gave the Seahorses 53 points in the overall team standings en route to a 4,139.5-3855.5 victory over the Piedmont Tsunamis, while the Braemar Blasters placed third at 3,519. So Sudley won its 37th divisional title in history, including 33 in the past 39 summers. From 1990-2012, the Seahorses lost only two meets, going undefeated 2000-2012. “We were dominant,” said Sudley’s 50th-year head coach, Dennis Miller, “but in 2010 there started to be a lot of good teams and a lot of big teams. “So nobody’s going to dominate anymore,” he said. “But it’s pretty special being my 50th year and winning the championship.”
Divisional team results
BLUE: Sudley 4,139.50; Piedmont 3,855.5; Braemar 3,519 RED: Bridlewood 4,101; Dominion Valley 3,823; Ashland 3,544 WHITE: Kingsbrooke 3,920; Ridgewood 3,816; Wellington 3,743 YELLOW: Victory Lakes 3,955; Dale City 3,867.5; Lake Ridge 3,640.5 GREEN: Brookside 3,774.5; Westridge 4,246.5; Southbridge 3,169 BLACK: Meadowbrook 4,175.5; Virginia Oaks 4,018.5; Stonewall Park 3,070 ORANGE: Montclair 4,032.5; Old Bridge 3,773.5; Veterans Park 2,983 PURPLE: Lake Manassas 3,754.5; Ben Lomond 3,394.5; Urbanna 2,966 By beating Piedmont, the Seahorses avenged a pair of recent losses to the Tsunamis. Piedmont defeated Sudley for the 2018 Blue Division championship before beating the Seahorses during the 2019 regular season by five points, 2,648.5-2,643.5. “With five points, you’re talking about a different swimmer placing seventh instead of eight, and another placing sixth instead of seventh,” Miller said. “There can just be so many little things [that change]. It could be the coach; it could be if I put different kids in different events.” So wit, Sudley won Saturday by 284 points to end the season with a 6-1 record and keep the Tsunamis (6-1) from finishing undefeated for only the second time in their 17-year history. It helped that the Seahorses logged their best times of the season in 59 percent of their swims. “We swam extremely well,” Mill-
er said. “They were motivated. All the children wanted our senior class to go out with a victory.” Sudley will lose 14 high school seniors from this championship team. “They’re one of the best classes I’ve had,” Miller said. “I try not to compare teams, but this class was special.” With such a storied history, the Seahorses didn’t set any team records during this regular season, but they broke two on Saturday and tied another. In addition to the 15-18 girls 200 free relay record, Craft set the 100 butterfly record by winning in 29.85, while Nathan Luevano tied the 11-12 boys breaststroke record by winning in 36.07. “It’s very hard to break a record on our board,” Miller said. “There’s been a lot of fast … swimmers here.” Luevano also won the 11-12 boys 100 individual medley and 100 free relay with Landon Craft, Troy Utter and Luke Mantooth, while Nicolas Chierico, Luevano, Craft and Mantooth won the boys 100 medley relay. Chierico also won the 50 free, 50 back and fly. Steven Butler added victories in the boys 15-18 50 free, 50 back and 50 fly, while Mark Linares won the 9-10 boys 50 breast, 25 butterfly, 100 medley relay (1:15.66; Shane Hudson, Thomas Tritle, Jake Moats) and 100 freestyle relay (1:03.00; Hudson, Moats, Tritle). Tritle also won the boys 50 freestyle while Craft won the 15-18 50 free and 100 individual medley. Jamie Cornwell added wins in the 13-14 girls 50 freestyle, 200 medley relay (2:09.68; Stella Chierico, Ashlyn Solenberger, Delaney Palenscar) and 200 free relay (1:55.79; Delaney Pal-
enscar, Aurora Zary, Mary Pennefather), while Sloane Phythian won the 8-and-under girls 25 breast and 100 free relay with Regina Pennefather, Natalie O’Connor and Avila Mantooh. Also winning were Jake Moats (10U boys 100 IM), Clara Condon (11-12 girls 50 breast) and Thomas Klump (8U boys 25 fly). For Piedmont, Sedonah Traister had a hand in five victories, winning the 10-and-under girls 100 individual medley, 9-10 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle. She also won the 9-10 girls 100 medley relay with Alyssa Sagle, Kaylee Dominguez and Samantha King and the 100 free relay with Samantha King, Kaylee Dominguez and Alyssa Sagle, while Sagle also won the 9-10 girls 50 backstroke and 25 fly. Charlotte Hannam added victories in the 11-12 girls 50 free, 100 IM, 50 fly and 100 free relay with Madison Richardson, Sophie Hayden and Hannah Choi, while Sophia Malinowski won the 8-and-under girls 25 free, 25 breast and 25 fly, as well as the mixed 100 medley relay with Brooks Schires, Jonathan DeVito and Declan Bengston. Bengston also won the 8-and-under 25 free and 100 free relay, while Camille Spink won the girls 13-14 100 individual medley, 50 fly and 50 back. Eric Liao won the 15-18 boys 100 individual medley. For Braemar, Jordan Evans won the 13-14 boys 100 individual medley, 100 breast, 50 fly, 200 free relay (1:47.93; Logan Grant, Dominic McCombs, Alexander Martins) and 200 medley relay (2:00.53; Matthew Santee, Grant, Martins). Megan Mastropaolo added three wins.

The mountains are calling Staying young and connected in the high country
PHOTOS COURTESY OF JOHN HAGARTY
Regional trails afford hikers vistas like these. By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
The fountain of youth is movement. Science has proven this so many times that most of us glaze over when we are urged to get out and about. Neighborhood walks fill the prescription for staying healthy, but they can get boring. Often done individually and on the same route month after month, the natural joy of walking can begin to fade. And come winter, many prefer to gaze out the window rather than don the fleece jacket and hit the pavement. Hiking clubs might be a cure for the exercise blues; they embody the two most important keys to longevity and mental well-being: exercise and social connection. The lack of social relationships is as much a risk factor for death as smoking or obesity. People with limited social involvement or who feel lonely have a 29 percent higher risk of heart disease and a 32 percent higher risk of stroke. An obvious but underutilized path to wellness is to stay active within a community of like-minded folks. A stellar example of this powerful connection of body and mind are thru-hikers who each year embrace the challenge of hiking the entire Appalachian Trail. The AT is the most iconic of long-distance mountain footpaths. Stretching from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, it rises and falls along the spine of the Appalachian Mountains for 2,192 miles. Three million hikers annually spend some time on sections of the trail. Some 4,000 committed outdoor enthusiasts attempt to complete
the entire hike in one season. It typically takes five to six months. Only one in four succeed. But anyone who attempts the journey will become part of a “tramily”; a group of hikers who start their journey about the same time and bond as they seek to complete the entire trail. The AT speed record stands at 41 days. Karel Sabbe reached the trail’s end at Mount Katahdin last August completing the AT faster than anyone before him. Forget reaching for the calculator. That’s an average of 53 miles a day. Another AT giant is Warren Doyle, who completed the entire AT hike 18 times. That’s 39,000 miles. After graduating from college and earning his master’s degree, he realized, “I had to do something no one was telling me to do—no rewards, no cheerleaders, no scholarships, something I was not going to get paid for,” Doyle said. Recently a young thru-hiker stayed overnight at the Gravel Spring shelter in the Shenandoah National Park and left these comments in the shelter’s log book: “The inexorable march of time drags us along in its wake. We are allotted a small measurable span in which to leave our own stamp upon this sphere. Humans, in general, are

pressed to rush and strive; a race to see who has the most when they die. But in taking the trek on the Appalachian Trail one can meander, smell the roses, and find oneself. What you walk away with from your quest depends upon your daily decisions and timeline. Make the most of every day and avoid mindless marching. Immerse yourself in the experience doing all possible – practically. One wouldn’t want to gaze back through the years wishing one could have seen and done more. So, eat drink and be merry with your extended ‘tramily’ making memories to span a lifetime! Square Peg (trail name). June 25, 2019.” These are sensitive and heartfelt words by an individual who likely will spend a life involved in hiking with friends. But the vast majority of today’s active seniors are not seeking to conquer the Appalachian Trail. They may simply be looking for a group of like-minded hikers for exercise and camaraderie.
Blue Mountain Hiking Club
There are numerous hiking clubs in the D.C. metro area with the premier organization being the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. The club maintains more than 1,000 miles of trails in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our tri-county area is fortunate to have a local organization that is popular with a group of some 270 hikers; many of them seniors. It’s called Blue Mountain Hiking Club and it sponsors numerous monthly hikes in addition to backpacking, skiing, and cycling excursions as the seasons dictate. Typically, each hike has about 10 attendees, offering the opportunity to get to know your fellow hikers and establish enduring friendships. The
distance averages 5 to 8 miles; there are no marathons for these folks. Each hike is led by an experienced trail maven, so attendees do not have to plan routes, carry maps or even be concerned about transportation. A small day pack with a snack and a couple bottles of water is the only investment necessary to become linked with this convivial group of “mountaineers.” At the end of each outing, the hearty band gathers at a local tavern or restaurant to “rehydrate” and break bread. The organization embodies the spirit of a shared, health-centered experience. The founder of the club is Andreas Keller, a retired international banker and native of Switzerland. Keller’s enthusiastic personality defines the spirit of the club. He is eager to introduce trail newbies to the joys of hiking and is affectionately known as “Special K” to his friends. At the completion of one of his backpack trips, he reflected on the interesting group of people he met on the trail. “It was a highly inspiring night and as I reflected on this by the campfire, I felt bonded to all there and I realized our commonality was a deep love for nature and for spending time to explore it,” Keller said. Most Blue Mountain hikes depart from Clevenger’s Corner on Route 211, 8 miles west of Warrenton or from the Marshall Food Lion. As the famed naturalist and environmental philosopher John Muir once said, “The mountains are calling, and I must go.” To become a member and learn about upcoming hikes, visit www. meetup.com/Blue-Mountain-Hiking-Club.

Traveling for seniors made easy
More seniors are able to travel as they get older, thanks to the many vendors that focus on accessibility. Of all age groups, seniors have the most time and resources to be able to travel. Although an eight-hour plane ride to travel internationally might be more than some would like to take on, there are many other viable options for this age group. One hidden gem that many have not considered is a steamboat cruise. A popular option is taking an American steamboat cruise down the Mississippi or the Cumberland Rivers,
Allegro’s THRIVE program encourages adults to age healthy Lachelle Yoder In partnership with the PATH Foundation and Fauquier Health, Allegro has announced THRIVE, described as “an exuberant, intergenerational program of music and arts designed specifically for folks over the age of 55, who want to live their senior years with gusto, optimism and a sense of belonging.” While the word “aging” may come with its share of stigma, the staff at Allegro believes that life’s most rewarding growth begins after years of wisdom, experience and journeying; older adults are the beacons of vitality and energy for our future generations. THRIVE builds on the proven concept of the arts as medicine and includes special programs: • Dance for Parkinson’s Disease • Specially designed dance classes for individuals in wheelchairs • A community choir • A special guitar program for returning veterans. More classes will be added over time. “In researching arts and aging, we found some incredible reasons to pursue a program such as THRIVE in our community,” said Allegro’s Executive Director Sam Yoder. Among the benefits were fewer falls, fewer doctor visits and a better mental outlook, he said. “We are not about entertaining people; we are about teaching them a new

skill. There is a lot of development and growth that happens in our brains when we physically play an instrument, sing or dance,” Yoder said. “We welcome everyone, especially those who have never before participated in an arts program,” Yoder said. An emphasis is placed on developing friendships with other participants. Dance with Parkinson’s Disease is taught by Cecilia Dohm, one of only five people in Virginia certified to teach the program. This approach to dance has been proven to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Here are 10 reasons why dance is especially beneficial for people with Parkinson’s disease. • Dance develops flexibility and instills confidence. • Dance is first and foremost a stimulating mental activity that connects mind to body. • Dance relieves isolation. • Dance invokes imagery in the service of graceful movement. • Dance focuses attention on eyes, ears and touch as tools to assist in movement and balance. • Dance increases awareness of where all parts of the body are in space. • Dance tells stories. • Dance sparks creativity. • The basis of dance is rhythm. • The essence of dance is joy. For more information on Dance for Parkinson’s Disease and other THRIVE programs, contact Cecilia Dohm at cecilia@allegrocsa.org or 540-348-5088 or visit www.allegrocsa. org.
gorgeous harbors, bays and towns along the way. Or, start in Seattle and cruise the Puget Sound or the Inside Passage of Alaska. The Columbia and Snake Rivers of the West will give you the opportunity to see the epic route forged by Lewis and Clark more than 200 years ago. You will sail to Portland, Mount St. Helens, and beautiful Clarkston, Washington. This region features abundant wildlife, which you’re sure to see throughout your journey. If history and southern hospitality appeal to you more, cruise the historic south through Charleston and Savannah. These smaller boats hold about 180 people and are entirely handicap-accessible. Each room and area of the ship is designed with the older generation in mind. You arrive in your departing city for an overnight hotel stay. The next morning you’re brought to your ship where you’re greeted by the staff who are there to assist you in every way possible. These ships specialize in personalized service. Each boat has elevator access to all the decks and easy-access balconies, where you can sit and enjoy the sights as you sail by. An all-American crew, historians, and naturalists are all on board to make your cruise
the best it can be. Nightly entertainment and fine regionally inspired cuisine and wine pairings are all included in your cost. Staff also assists at each port, taking you by motor coach to all the must-see destinations. Need a scooter, oxygen tank, or other assistance? Not a problem; that can be easily arranged. If a larger ship is more your style, Special Needs at Sea is a company that can provide you with everything you need to make your trip easier and more accessible. Using a travel agent to assist with all the plans and reservations is the first decision; the harder choice is deciding which destination to visit. Having personalized service before, during, and after your trip can take the stress out of planning and getting to your destination. From wheelchair assistance at the airport to boarding the ship, traveling for seniors is easier and more accessible than ever before. Alesia House is a local travel concierge who can plan and orchestrate all the details of your vacation. Her goal is to help clients have stress-free vacations that will create lasting memories.

The library has a book club for you By Jean L. Ross
Contributing Writer
As the summer wanes and the beach reads lose some luster, readers often search for something different. Look no further than one of the many library-sponsored book clubs. While some of these are themed – mysteries or historical fiction, anyone? – others are aimed at various ages. The majority are for adults, giving
What’s Hot Apparently, the “What’s Hot” list will perpetually include “Where the Crawdads Sing,” by Delia Owens. This story of a young woman left to her own devices to raise herself in a marsh picks up on themes of nature, mystery and coming of age. It just won’t let go of the top of every bestseller list in the nation. Hot August titles also include a mix of bestselling authors (James Patterson, David Baldacci and Mary Higgins Clark, to name a few) and break-out debut or sophomore efforts. For his many young fans, the news that Dav Pilkey’s Dog Man character is back
them the opportunity to indulge in a shared love of reading. One club exclusively discusses books from the bestsellers’ list, and another focuses on books about the African-American experience. One of the longest-running groups is Central Community Library’s science-fiction book club, and their veteran members welcome newbies. There are two groups reading books about crime, and another meeting to discuss books with LGBTQ+ characters.
in “Dog Man: For Whom the Ball Rolls,” is something to celebrate. The crime-fighting canine and his feline best buddy return for another adventure. “The Turn of the Key,” by Ruth Ware, is from a prolific mystery writer who some call the Agatha Christie of the 21st Century. With that high praise, you know you want to check out this tale of a nanny and mysterious circumstances in a wealthy household. “Tidelands,” by Philippa Gregory, takes us back to 1648, with England in the grip of a civil war and a very gifted woman, Alinor, under duress for speaking out. C.J. Box is a familiar name to followers of crime fiction, and the latest novel, “The Bitterroots,” will
A teen group examines books that become films to compare the genres and answer the ageold question: Who did it better?

not disappoint. Out in the Montana mountains, private detective Cassie Dewell is trying to untangle a mystery involving a disappearance and a wealthy family’s cover-up. Who knew apartment-sitting in a Manhattan luxury high-rise could lead to trouble? Riley Sager lets you in on that in her thriller, “Lock Every Door.” “Bark of Night” is a continuation of the Andy Carpenter mystery series by David Rosenfelt. The real star of the book is Andy’s faithful golden
retriever, Tara. “Girls Like Us,” revolves around a detective called home to Long Island for family reasons. When helping local officers investigate two murders, she discovers that she must consider her father as a suspect. Author Cristina Alger’s latest novel is a detective story combined with a thriller. Popular author Laura Lippman mines her typical Baltimore setting and true events of the past to create a tale of two very different women in “Lady in the Lake.” This fictional tale is woven around a real-life mysterious murder in Baltimore decades ago.

Henry N. Woolman lll Henry N. Woolman lll, at age 87, left this life on July 27th, peacefully, at his home with his wife Marcia. Hank was well known and respected in the Middleburg/The Plains area among the fox hunting and fly-fishing communities, as he was well known for being a Joint MFH for the Orange County Hunt in the mid-sixties. After losing the fingers on his right hand in a farming accident, he returned to hunting at the bidding of Eve Fout to be the Honorary Huntsman for the MOC Beagles (Pony Club) for 22 years, assisting in nurturing many future fox hunters. Hank was also a Hound Show Judge for over 30 years. He was well known for his handmade bamboo flyrods and hand tied flies in his Middleburg Outdoorsman Shop. For some 20 years he donated a bamboo fly rod as a fund raiser to the Rapidan Chapter of Trout Unlimited, which he founded in the late 1970s. From their summer home in Silver Gate, MT, in his retired years, he was a fishing guide in Yellowstone Park for ten years. Hank is survived by his loving wife, Marcia, sister Joan Glenn of Glenmore, PA, two sons Michael (VA) and Andy Woolman (CA), while oldest son Henry IV (Hal) predeceased him. Other surviving family are five grandchildren; Hank Woolman V (VA), Katie Woolman (VA), and Daniel Woolman (CO), Bethany and Paige Woolman, (CA), also four great grandchildren. Hank was a native of suburban Philadelphia, attended Episcopal Academy, Amherst College in Pre-Med, and an additional degree in Agriculture from Penn State. Fox hunting and cattle farming brought him to Virginia where he enjoyed a full and productive life. Hank was a lineal descendant and member of The Society of the Cincinnati, a Life Member of Trout Unlimited, and a relative of John Woolman, an 18th century minister in the Society of Friends (Quakers), and an influential abolitionist. Hank’s family history includes, since 1907, maintaining a summer cabin in Pennsylvania, where he developed at a young age his love for fishing and the outdoors. Memorial Service will be held at Grace Episcopal Church in The Plains. Date and time in September TBD. In Lieu of Flowers, please send donations in Hank’s name to Trout Unlimited in Alexandria, VA or Heartland Hospice in Warrenton, VA.
