LOCK IT UP:

Health department offers free trigger locks to local gun owners By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

The Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District, one of 35 divisions under the Virginia Department of Health — this one serving Fauquier, Orange, Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties — has dipped into its budget to buy 2,000 gun trigger locks to offer free to residents, “No questions asked.” “The role of public health is always prevention,” said the district’s April Achter, from her Warrenton office on Friday. Achter spearheaded the project, which began distributing trigger locks

in June. “In looking at our community health needs and meeting with citizens, we found not only that dealing with gun violence was a top concern, but that the suicide rate in our five-county area was higher than the state average.” It’s actually four times as high as the state rate. The five-county region had 16.9 suicides per 100,000 people last year, compared to 4.27 per 100,000 across Virginia. “We think that locking guns could reduce unintentional and suicide gun deaths by up to 70 percent,” she said. While this is the first such pro-

gram in Virginia, “It does have the potential to be replicated across the state.” In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that while gun locks are used in about 71 percent of households with children under 12, lock usage drops to about 58 percent when the children become teenagers. Yet it is adolescents, the report said, “with their often impulsive behavior,” who are most at risk of suicide by gun. “The odds are particularly high if the gun is kept loaded,” the report added.

Used on Fauquier farms for years, biosolids still raise a stink State study recommends more research into possible health effects By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/KAREN CHAFFRAIX Jordan Koepke, left, and her mother, Maureen Friel, stand at the fence in Maureen’s front yard in Casanova. Friel is pointing to the brown area on the farm across the road where trucks have deposited biosolids, which are then spread by more trucks. The air had been unpleasantly odiferous, and they worry about contamination of Turkey Run, which runs through that field, and of their wells.

It was a boiling hot day in mid-July. The air in Casanova hung low and still over its lush rolling hills. And boy did it stink. “Are you aware that human excrement is being spread on the farms out here? We can’t breathe,” the caller said. Barbara O’Brien had come to visit her sister in Casanova. She handed her the phone. Maureen and Robert Friel, retired government folks, 35 years in Casanova, had been watching convoys of tanker trucks turn into the farm across the way for seven days. “As many as 30 a day. We’ve been counting,” Maureen said. “Each one carries 20 to 40 tons. Another company’s been spreading it.”

Used on Fauquier farms for years, biosolids still raise a stink BIOSOLIDS from page 1 The Friels and their daughter and granddaughter were at the house the next day. It was hot, but there was a breeze. The air smelled fine. “The wind is blowing in a different direction today,” offered their daughter, Jordan Koepke. The Friels knew what was happening. They attended a meeting at the John Barton Payne building in January 2017 where an agent with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, which regulates biosolids, answered questions about a permit issued to the German Noguera farm, located across from their house. Robert Friel took notes on a piece of cardboard: “7 — 10 days a year…50 acres @ a time…1x every 3 years…40 dump trailers…” “We knew it was a done deal, that we had no recourse in fighting it,” Maureen Friel said. “Because the permit had already been approved when they had the meeting.” “But the sheer number and size of those trucks,” she added. “The volume of waste being dumped there. We’re horrified.” “What’s being spread over here is Class B [biosolids]. But Class A is better. It’s more highly processed. It contains fewer heavy metals,” said Koepke. “If our wells get contaminated, our homes are worthless.”

What’s that smell?

“Biosolids,” according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “are nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment facility.” Long used as fertilizer mostly on crops not consumed by people, such as hemp, hay and timber, biosolids are usually free to farmers and the cheapest way for municipalities to dispose of the solids left over from sewage treatment. Waste-treatment plants contract with land-application firms that haul and apply the biosolids to farms and timberlands. Such firms working in Virginia were paid between $32 - $35 million by treatment plants in 2016, according to a study on the use of biosolids and industrial residues commissioned by the state General Assembly in response to citizen concerns about the safety of using biosolids as fertilizer. Performed by Virginia’s Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, the study reviewed scientific research into the risks biosolids pose to the environment and human health and examined the state’s regulations, which are administered by DEQ and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The study concluded state rules for biosolids “generally protect human health and water quality,” according to an 80-page report presented to lawmakers last fall. But the report also noted the risks of biosolids, which contain hundreds of pathogens and chemicals in low levels, are not fully understood. Among seven recommendations, the study called on

the Virginia Department of Health to research the effect on people in close proximity to farms receiving biosolids and to test biosolids to determine their levels of pathogens. Based on those findings, the state should consider adjusting its regulations to reduce risks, the study said. The VDH is currently developing a plan for such studies with a goal of delivering the results to state lawmakers in by 2020, according to Caroline Holsinger, director of the VDH division of environmental epidemiology.

The view from the regulators

In the meantime, state officials address concerns about biosolids as they arise. “Certainly, from an early age we are taught to avoid our own waste,” said Neil Zahradka, who manages DEQ’s Office of Land Application. “Biosolids is not the same material [as raw sewage]. There have been a number of biological changes,” he explained. The EPA set limits on toxins in the treated material, he added. “They are finding that the concentrations of such materials are extremely small, but the more significant issue is that [toxins] are found almost everywhere in our homes — in our clothes, our cosmetics, our household products. The chemical concentrations we find in biosolids are not alarming.” As far as heavy metals are concerned, for example, “Biosolids contain orders of magnitude less than what is considered dangerous,” Zahradka said.

The view from the tractor

John B. Olinger has a deep, gravelly voice. “Hot? No, not too hot. I’ve got air conditioning,” the 62-year-old farmer said, turning off his tractor. The Remington native and his son farm 140 acres on eight parcels they rent for hay and grazing. This year Olinger is fertilizing with biosolids on three of them, two in Remington and one in Casanova. While this is the first year he’s used biosolids on the Noguera farm, he’s been using the material for ages. “Oh, going way back,” he said. “I was in the dairy business for 15 years, and I was using it before that.” The Friels had a copy of Olinger’s “Virginia Pollution Abatement Permit Application.” Issued by DEQ, it’s signed by him and Noguera. “Safe? Yes, I think it’s safe,” he said. “We move the cows to one side of the farm for 30 days. If they’re lactating, for 60 days. They are real careful about the requirements.” Olinger said he doesn’t think there’s much in the way of runoff. “Once it rains, after they’ve spread it, you can see a clear green line showing exactly where they laid it,” he said. “It makes crops really grow for me. And using it as fertilizer is a lot better than just dumping it.”

The view from the spreader

The side of the white truck says Recyc Systems, and the driver’s name is “Ned, just Ned.” He spent

seven days spreading biosolids on the Noguera farm. “I can understand people being concerned,” Ned said. “But everything is tested and regulated.” Ned grows cattle, corn and soy in Caroline County and uses biosolids on it. “It adds nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, which help the soil hold more water,” he said. “You test the soil and see what’s needed to get the proper pH.” Ned’s clipboard was stacked with soil-test data and maps of wells, elevations and parcel boundaries — and of Turkey Run. When asked how he kept the biosolids from getting into the stream, Ned held up something that looked like binoculars. “This is a rangefinder field laser,” he said. “It’s how I measure distance from the protected areas.”

‘Recycling at its best’

Recyc Systems has been delivering biosolids to Fauquier County for 35 years, owner Susan Trumbo said in an email. “In 2017, we applied 9,467.66 tons to farms in Fauquier County, and as of the end of June 2018, 8,163.08 tons.” She said Recyc isn’t the only supplier to Fauquier, and while Recyc contracts with a number of treatment plants to haul away biosolids, much of the supply comes from the Blue Plains facility in Washington, D.C., which treats Fairfax and Loudoun sewage, among other locales. It pow-

ers part of its operation using biosolids as fuel, a practice gaining momentum around the globe. “Land application of biosolids on agricultural sites is recycling at its best,” Trumbo said. “Farmers get it for free. They get a better crop than they are going to get with chemical fertilizers, and recycling biosolids costs half or less than landfilling or incinerating. … And we help them spread it.”

But still…

Robert Friel was standing in his comfy Casanova living room. He’d been taking photographs of the trucks in the field across the way all week, and the growing mound of black/ brown muck. He said his neighbor, a lawyer, called Fauquier County Supervisor Rick Gerhardt (Cedar Run) who called state Sen. Jill Vogel, R-27th. Vogel, in turn, called Richmond, and learned the use of biosolids is perfectly legal. “So that was the end of that,” he said. A couple of houses down from the Friels live Greg Huddleston and his wife. They have questions, too. “What is runoff from these fields doing to our streams? How is it affecting our wells and watershed?” Huddleston said in an email. “What are the long-term environmental effects? “It’s just not neighborly. And it stinks.” Karen Chaffraix can be reached at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

Health department offers free trigger locks TRIGGER LOCKS from page 1 Burrell Spindel is owner of Virginia Hobbies in Warrenton, one of the partners distributing gun locks for the health district. A sign in his window says, “Free gunlocks.” Of the 72 he had to give away, he’s down to 11. “But I’m calling today to get some more.” Spindel owns four guns, he said, and all have trigger locks. “Even a trained gun user living alone should lock their guns,” he said. “That avoids someone breaking in and using one,” he said. Spindel raised two children with guns in the house, but he said his collection was locked in a safe so big and

everything-proof, it had to be brought into the house by forklift. The devices, made by Master Lock, have a combination lock and fit on all rifles, shotguns and handguns. “Do not attempt to put this lock on the trigger of a loaded gun,” Spindel said, reading the label. “As doing so could cause the gun to go off.” About 1,000 free trigger locks are still available. Residents of the five counties are invited to pick one up at their county health department, or at partner distributors Warrenton Pediatrics, Piedmont Pediatrics and Virginia Hobbies.

Two arrested in ‘meth lab’ bust outside Warrenton By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

An active methamphetamine lab outside Warrenton was broken up by the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office over the weekend, resulting in the arrests of a man and a woman from Maryland. David Waple, 31 of Fairplay, Maryland, and Tara Gladhill, 30, of Hagerstown, Maryland, were arrested at 5149 Rock Springs Road, according to the sheriff’s office. They were charged with manufacturing a controlled substance — methamphetamine; possession of controlled substance-methamphetamine; conspiracy to manufacture a controlled substance-methamphetamine; and possession of drug paraphernalia. The sheriff’s office said the meth lab was in a trailer behind the Rock Springs Road residence. Execution of a search warrant on Saturday, Aug. 18, led to the confiscation of 500 grams of methamphetamine-sludge, which has an estimated street value of $50,000, according to a sheriff’s office press release. Drug paraphernalia and a 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck were also seized, the Sheriff’s Office said. Leading up to Saturday’s raid, the sheriff’s office on Friday, Aug. 17 investigated a report of two suspicious persons knocking on doors on Rock Springs Road. Devin Donnell Thom-

David Waple, 31, of Fairplay, Maryland, left, and Tara Gladhill, 30, of Hagerstown, Maryland, right, were arrested Aug. 18 in connection with a methamphetamine lab uncovered in a residential area outside Warrenton, according to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. COURTESY PHOTOS

as, 28, of Hagerstown, Maryland, was arrested for possession of schedule I, II drugs, in connection with that report. On Saturday, Blue Ridge Gang and Narcotics Task Force members obtained information that methamphetamine would be located at 5149 Rock Springs Road. Clandestine drug labs producing methamphetamine are uncommon in Fauquier County. The sheriff’s department last uncovered such an operation in 2015, according to Deputy Joell Kight, spokeswoman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. The investigators believe the lab was operating for about four weeks, Kight said. “We appreciate the working rela-

tionship with all members of the Blue Ridge Gang and Narcotics Task Force in the successful operation to rid the community of dangerous drugs as in this case,” Sheriff Bob Mosier stated in the press release. The Blue Ridge task force consists of Virginia State Police, Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office, Culpeper

Police Department, Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the Warrenton Police Department. The Northwest Drug Task Force also assisted. The New Baltimore Volunteer Fire Department was also dispatched to the scene. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

ATTENTION: FAUQUIER FARMERS & AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS

YOUR PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE IN DANGER

Fauquier County government officials are at it again in a supposedly agricultural friendly community! First it was Martha Boneta with her farm in Paris, Virginia. Now they are moving on to other farms in the county.

On August 16, 2018, the planning commission recommended approval for a text amendment to the zoning ordinance that would NOT allow us to bring in soil to build a farm or to level out existing fields to increase crop area which would increase yield and have better manageable fields to cut hay, nor make it easier to plant and harvest or for livestock to get around easier. This would also not allow us to fill in old livestock ponds that breed disease to make a better more productive use of that area which up until now we had a by-right use of our land to do with what we saw fit and suited us. Now the county wants to step in and regulate what we can do with our own property which as previously stated, is a by-right use and take that away from us. What is going to be next? How many rows of corn you can grow in one year? How many yards of sod you can cut in one year? Or how many cattle you can raise in one year on your property? This is not good for any of us as this will be used as a stepping stone to take more of our by-rights away and constrict us to what they feel is fit for our own property.

Please let’s make our voices heard to the Board of Supervisors at their meeting on September 13, 2018, at 6:30 pm at the Warren Green Building, 10 Hotel Street, Warrenton, Virginia. You can call them at their office at 540-422-8020 or email them:

Lebanese Butcher reopened after zoning dispute By Karen Chaffraix

“CAIR committed to work with the business owners to deal with the issues the town has. It’s my understanding that the family is meeting with the town this coming week.”

Times Staff Writer

Area Muslims have relied on Warrenton’s Lebanese Butcher for more than 20 years to provide meat prepared according to Muslim law for their traditional holidays. Yet at 6 p.m. on Monday, hours before the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid-al-Adha) was set to begin, owner Kheder Rababeh and his sons, Samir and Imad, were more than worried. The Town of Warrenton blockaded the entrance to their Shirley Avenue business Friday, Aug. 17, and police officers had been turning customers away for three days. What the Rababehs didn’t know Monday was that the Washington D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations was working on their behalf with Town of Warrenton officials. A deal was struck Monday evening to move aside the orangeand-white barriers blocking the building to allow customers back inside. By Tuesday morning, Lebanese Butchers was again open for business under an agreement that the Rababehs resolve outstanding zoning violations. The town’s interference with the business was the result of “years of unresolved building code and zoning issues,” Town of Warrenton attorney Whit Robinson said Tuesday. “For a number of years now, we have approved the [event] permit despite the outstanding violations, but this year, we drew the line.” CAIR Director Nihad Awad, who has known of the businessmen for years, called the town and made a plea for a workable solution. An agreement was made. The business could resume unimpeded, provided it delivered on its promises. “They recognized it was a mistake to blockade the business,” said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, calling Tuesday from his family’s holiday

ADVANCE WARNING If an illness or injury were to render you comatose, would your family know what directions to give the attending doctors about your care? According to a recent review of 150 studies, researchers found that just one person in three had any type of “advance directive,” a legal document that allows individuals to make known their decisions about the kind of end-of-life care they wish to receive in the event that they were unable to communicate them for themselves. While the 2017 study found that people aged 65 years and older were more likely to have an advance directive than younger adults, their completion rate was still under 50 percent. Have you made your wishes known? Anyone who is at least 18 years old and legally able to make decisions can execute an advance directive. In addition to preparing an advance directive, you may also want to consider preplanning your funeral. Preplanning spare surviving relatives and loved ones from the emotional burden of having to make decisions at a time of great stress and grief. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “Death is not a period that ends the great sentence of life, but a comma that punctuates it to more lofty significance.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

IBRAHIM HOOPER CAIR spokesman

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/KAREN CHAFFRAIX Owners of the Lebanese Butcher, from left, Samir Rababeh, 28, Kheder Rababeh, 52, and Imad Rababeh, 23, stand in front of their Warrenton business Monday. gathering at the Outback Steakhouse. “Yes, the Outback in Warrenton,” he said. “It’s up to each family to decide how they celebrate. “CAIR committed to work with the business owners to deal with the issues the town has,” Hooper said. “It’s my understanding that the family is meeting with the town this coming week.” Robinson explained the impasse that caused blockade: “The abattoir – that means butcher -- was initially a permitted-use business,” he said. “But new regulations and their intention to make some structural changes meant that specific issues had to be dealt with. Things like the air conditioning being strong enough to deal with waste products, to assuage the smell, and their overloading animal holding pens…Then they expanded [the business] beyond the 20 percent allowed.” Robinson said the town hired and paid for a surveyor a few years ago to help resolve the issues.

“CAIR personally guaranteed that they would work with Mr. Rababeh and his sons to get everything in compliance,” Robinson added. “We love this town,” the elder Rababeh said Monday night, his son holding him steady because he’s had two heart attacks and, recently, a stroke. “We don’t want any trouble. We know all the businesses around here, and most of them are happy when our holiday customers bring traffic to the area.” “It’s a construction permit thing,” son Imad Rababeh chimed in. “We have been trying to get things right with the town for two years.” Warrenton police were still stationed outside Lebanese Butcher Tuesday morning. But in contrast to the last three days, an officer waved and shouted, “It’s open. Come on in.” A woman in a pink hijab, holding her daughter’s hand, walked up the driveway toward the butcher. On Tuesday, the orange-and-white sawhorses separated the butcher’s right of way from that of Tom Frost Firestone’s parking lot. The Lebanese Butchers’ graveled lot was teeming with cars. Four gentlemen exited the business. Over the shoulder of one hung a white plastic bag of what appeared to be the meat of a small goat. Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier. com

Fauquier Times | August 22, 2018

School has begun: Put down your phone while driving and lock up your gun With kids back in school, safety of all kinds should be our No. 1 concern, particularly in the wake of the horrible school shootings last year, which had everyone on edge. Here are two things we can do with very little effort: Put down our cellphones while driving and lock up our guns. Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District — one of 35 divisions of the Virginia Department of Health, this one serving Fauquier, Orange, Madison, Rappahannock and Culpeper counties — has made the locking up guns easy. It dipped into its budget to buy 2,000 gun trigger locks, which are free to residents “no questions asked.” In meetings with citizens, the organization found top among concerns was not only gun violence, but the area’s suicide rate, which is four times as high as that of the state’s. Recent statistics show 16.9 OUR VIEW suicides per 100,000 people in the Rappahannock-Rapidan five-county region compared to 4.27 per 100,000 people across Virginia. In 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that while gun locks are used in about 71 percent of households with children under 12, lock use drops to about 58 percent when the children become teenagers. Yet it is the adolescent, the report said, “with their often impulsive behavior,” who are most at risk of suicide by gun. “The odds are particularly high if the gun is kept loaded,” the report says. The trigger locks, made by Master Lock, have a combination lock and fit on all rifles, shotguns and handguns. One thousand of the free gun locks are still available, and residents can pick one up at their county health department, or at partner distributors: Warrenton Pediatrics, Piedmont Pediatrics and Virginia Hobbies. We strongly believe in constitutional rights. With those rights come responsibilities. Responsible gun ownership preserves that right while protecting all of us. We will continue to follow this program with interest. — A 2010 public service advertising campaign by AutoWeek, called “Goodbye,” compared cellphone use behind the wheel to a game of Russian roulette. The ad featured images of a handgun next to a bloody Blackberry. It is an image that sticks with you. In 2016 alone, 3,450 people were killed and 391,000 were injured in motor-vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers, according to statistics reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. During daylight hours, approximately 481,000 drivers are using cell phones while driving. Since 2007, drivers aged 16-24 have been observed manipulating handheld devices behind the wheel at greater rates than adults. Many states have laws prohibiting use of electronic devices that do not have a hands-free mode. Virginia, however, has so far failed to do so. In Virginia, only drivers under the age of 18 are prohibited from using cellphones, including hands-free devices. Those 18 and older may use their cellphones. Texting while driving is prohibited for all ages but is notoriously difficult for police officers to prove, limiting infractions. According to the CDC, sending or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds. That’s long enough to cover a football field while driving at 55 mph. That can easily be more than one bus stop or crosswalk. Dutch Mandel, AutoWeek’s associate publisher and editorial director at the time of the advertising campaign, said it well: “There is no reason why you need to have a 6-ounce phone attached to your ear when you have a 4,000-pound car attached to your brain.” Hopefully, Virginia lawmakers can iron out their differences to further discourage the use of cell phones while driving. But this is an area where common sense can prevail. If your vehicle does not have hands-free capability, put the phone down. It can wait. If it can’t, pull over. Lives depend on it.

Judging by two solid scrimmages and last year’s 9-3 mark, Liberty may be on pace for another Bird Bowl win over Fauquier and playoff appearance. Starting quarterback Raymond Morton is back, but both lines are new as the Eagles debut Friday at Brentsville.

LIBERTY FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Eagles’ forecast? Uncertain, with chance of playoffs By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The scrimmage lasted only 14 minutes due to poor weather, but Tre’Von White managed to shine at safety, wide receiver, punter and punt returner Friday. The junior had a receiving touchdown and made a strip sack that created a defensive touchdown to help the Liberty Eagles beat Brooke Point, 13-6. “And he did a great job of catching punts,” Liberty coach Sean Finnerty said. “He had two really good punts as well. ... One of the best quarters, probably, that I’ve ever witnessed.” The Eagles also played well during an Aug. 10 non-scored scrimmage against Eastern View despite having only six returning starters from last season. “It was a pleasant surprise,” Finnerty said. “We’re making a lot of mistakes, which is expected, but the kids are playing really hard. … I’m really optimistic.” Graduation this past spring claimed a group of players who amassed 11 all-conference honors last season. So the Eagles have only two returning starters on offense and four on defense, making expectations relatively low for a team that has produced a winning season 17 of the past 18 years. “They’ve definitely been counted out,” Finnerty said of expectations. “People were making us the underdog this year just because we lost so much. “We’re almost completely brand new,” he said. “But I think we’re go-

You don’t know who’s going to step up in what situations.” The Eagles lost three all-state players to graduation, including defensive linemen Dylan Bryan and Julian Sams, who also was all-state on the offensive line and is playing for Kent State University. In fact, Liberty lost all five of its starters on the offensive line and all four on the defensive line with many of them now playing in college. So senior Travis Hensley is now the only lineman with any playing experience offensively, while Tony Santos, Derick Knighting and Hensley played some on defense last fall. “That’s where we have to make the most progress,” Finnerty said. “All those college linemen, they’re gone.” Liberty does have some experience behind its defensive line,

though. Senior Jake Waldo and junior Fred Harris are returning starters at linebacker with senior Cornelius Minnifield as a returning starter at safety along with White. “They’re definitely big impact players,” Finnerty said of White and Harris, who will also serve as Liberty’s starting running back this season. “He had a great offseason; put on about 35 pounds” to reach 180. Similarly, senior quarterback Raymond Morton added about 20 pounds to reach 6-foot-2, 170 pounds. “Which has really helped him be a better thrower, and he runs better,” Finnerty said of Morton, who missed the first six games of last season due to injury. “He knows our offense better than anybody and he’s definitely a good leader out there.”

UNDERDOGS WITH A PURPOSE

Falcons hope triple option, better defense, grit keys turnaround year By Jeff Malmgren

Fauquier schedule

Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

Austin Parker is Fauquier’s leading returning offensive weapon. Usually a pillar of consistency, the Falcons are coming off their worst season since 1993 and looking to make their first playoff appearance since 2014.

When it comes to experienced football players, Joe Prince seems like a pauper this season. His Fauquier roster has only five returning starters after losing weapons responsible for 82 percent of the Falcons’ offensive yardage last season. Quarterback Jackson Eicher transferred following his sophomore season while leading rusher Kevin Chavis did not return for his senior season. Graduation also claimed a hoard of promising players from an injury-plagued 2017 team that finished with a 2-8 record. “Not worrying about the future and not about the past,” Prince said recently. “If we can do that, we may end up alright. “My only goal is to try to get better and put yourself in a position that you can win,” he said. “Get better every week and pretty soon you’re pretty tough.” Despite the Falcons’ youth, their defensive secondary has been a bright spot during the preseason. “I’m feeling better compared to last year,” Prince said. “We’ve done better against the pass. … I feel like we gave up a lot of big plays last year.”

Aug. 24 HOME vs. Loudoun Co., 7 p.m. Aug. 31 at Brentsville, 7 p.m. Sept. 7 HOME vs. Dominion, 7 p.m. Sept. 21 HOME vs. Millbrook, 7 p.m. Sept. 28 HOME vs. Handley, 7 p.m. Oct. 5 at Kettle Run, 7 p.m. Oct. 12 HOME vs. Courtland, 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at James Wood, 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at Sherando, 7 p.m. Nov. 2 at Liberty, 7 p.m. Fauquier’s defense allowed 355 points last season with opponents outscoring them by 17.4 points per game. This fall, Prince’s coaching staff tried to simplify the Falcons’ defensive scheme. “We’ve watered it down to just to make sure we get good at something before we moved on” to intricate aspects of defense, he said. “We just wanted to make sure we’ve got our base down; make sure we knew what we were doing and why before we added anything else. “The defense as a whole got better,” Prince said, “but we’ve got some things we’ve got to improve on.” Senior Austin Parker anchors See FALCONS, Page 11

Falcons’ new QB has a familiar last name FALCONS, from Page 10 that secondary as a returning starter at safety, which he plays alongside sophomore J.T. Diehl, who also took over as Fauquier’s quarterback this season. Cornerbacks Shane O’Hara and Nick Shadyac round out the secondary, while the Falcons’ only defensive returning starters other than Parker are nose guard Gavin Pancione and linebacker Paul Heisler. Fauquier’s only returning starters on offense are slot backs Hershel Rinker and Parker, who combined for 402 receiving yards last season as the Falcons’ third- and fourth-leading receivers. Parker finished with 274 yards and two touchdowns on 15 receptions, while Rinker made 14 receptions. They caught most of those passes from Eicher (1,175 yards, seven touchdowns and 16 interceptions on 86-for-193 passing), who then transferred to Episcopal High. So Diehl has taken over as Fauquier’s starting quarterback, following in the footsteps of his older brothers, Garrett and Colin, who were stars.

Projected starting lineup

“He studied on his own to be ready intellectually and worked real hard in the weight room,” Prince said. “He’s got a little grit and wants to be [an impact] player.” Diehl will run the triple option this season with freshman fullback Luke Thomas filling the backfield alongside Parker and Rinker. They will try to replace the production of Chavis, who amassed 1,000 yards last season on 5.9 yards per carry. Fauquier also lost its next four leading rushers. The Falcons tested their new offense for the first time Aug. 11 during a scrimmage against Martinsburg (West Virginia), which has won six state championships the past eight seasons. “Martinsburg got the best of us,” said Prince, whose Falcons later played against Potomac Falls. “Did very well – showed a lot of grit – in that scrimmage. “I worry about our defense and our offense because we are so young,” the coach said. “But I think our want-to, our grit, is going to be a strength. They want to work hard and do well.”

KETTLE RUN VOLLEYBALL, LIBERTY VOLLEYBALL, LIBERTY FIELD HOCKEY SEASON PREVIEWS

Eagles’ field hockey takes aim at school record By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Can the Eagles maintain momentum? Liberty’s varsity field hockey team won 10 games last fall to tie the school single-season record after being held to four wins in each of the three previous campaigns. Fifth-year head coach Katie Norman lost eight important seniors from that record-tying unit, but said winning 11 games is possible due to her Eagles’ attitude and focus. “We are a very young team, but we’re eager as well so that has allowed me to overlook inexperience,” said Norman, noting the 2017 junior varsity group was unbeaten at 9-0-3. Senior Jordan Hadler says her team’s potential is great. “After losing eight seniors this past season, we expected this year to be an adjustment,” Hadler admitted. “But we have had nothing but flying colors from all of our players.” Hadler and fellow senior Elizabeth Sorto may move from defense to more offensive roles. Senior Kaila Lacey can score and will be a key performer. “Kaila has always been 100 percent committed to whatever position I throw her into,” Norman said gratefully. Emma Miller and Jordan Cabanban are among the leaders of a talented sophomore class. Jada Milton, Daphne Daymude, Regan Keys, Gretchen Thomas,

Liberty volleyball coach Carrie Marek extols the phrase “#100%” as indicative of the steady progression in her Eagle program. Coming off a 4-20 year, the Eagles feature a blend of six varsity veterans and six junior varsity graduates. Healthy battles for playing

time show the team has talent. “This is a five-year plan. I’m excited to see this go to fruition,” the second-year head coach said. Sierra Hollingshead is back for her third year as starting setter. The talent level has risen, allowing the Eagles to switch from a 5-1 alignment to a 6-2. The change means Hollingshead now will play only in the back row. Kallin Corvin “can serve on a dime,” while middle hitter Hayden Acors may play outside as well. Junior Jazmyn Hill earned a spot on the all-star squad in the school’s week at the Liberty University Camp. She and classmates Kaci Henrich and Meghan Schram are the other varsity veterans. Skylar Barrett, Madison Daniels, Carmella Garner, Olivia Ryan, Tiffany Shull and Lenea Crockett complete the unit. This year’s junior varsity team includes Amber Beverly, Victoria Bosarge, Anastacia Castro, Shashaida Hogan, Abigail Jones, Sydney Marek, Emily Penny, Leslie Quinoz, Christina Sloan, Desiree Smith, Kayla Smith and Kendra Walker. The freshman unit consists of Jocelyn Wright, Brianna Whitt, Bethany Smith, Alexis Sanchez, Grace Reynolds, Lilly Ramsey, Robin Morton, Johannah Contrerus and Kaitlyn Butler.

mation-gathering mode. “I still need to learn more about this team,” said the second-year Kettle Run volleyball coach. The Cougars struggled to a 4-20 campaign due to inconsistency last year. Sutliff hopes to counter that trend this with the help of a core of five seniors, four of whom return from last fall. “It feels like a good mix,” Sutliff said. Chelsea Dodson was the Cougars’ most valuable performer in 2017. Meghan Meador, Nicole Piercy and Claire Sutliff return for their fourth season of varsity. The fifth senior is newcomer Bella Jontz. The coach projects Lily McIntyre and Jordan Dixon as the anchors of Kettle Run’s offensive scheme. Olivia Conte, Rachel Schwind, Caroline Sapp, Erin Salzman, Mae Sutliff, Kate Pohlman and Rebecca Russell complete the team. The Cougars’ JV includes Taylor Teinalso, Faith Schaefer, Theresa Russell.

Morgan Mullins, Sarah Carson, Mattie Heflin, Hanna Hendrickson, Savannah Hulverson, Sara Kochersperger, Savannah Kovacs, Elena Navin, Skye Perkins, Caroline Robertson, Anabelle Sullivan and Alissa Sullivan are freshman team members.

Barrel Oak Winery pulls celebratory cork Popular Delaplane winery marks 10th anniversary By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

For legions of Fauquier County residents, it may come as a surprise a decade has gone into the history books since Barrel Oak Winery opened on Memorial Day 2008. And you thought a bottle of wine disappears quickly. Consider what’s unfolded in those lightning-quick 120 months: Almost a million bottles of wine have been produced, more than a half million guests have sipped and chatted on the hilltop venue and 50,000 tail wagging dogs have gazed lovingly at their relaxed owners. On the community-oriented side, dozens of fundraisers have generated $1.8 million for a host of worthwhile charities. By any measure it’s a business that’s had a uniquely positive impact on the community it serves. “I don’t think we could have picked a better place to open Barrel Oak,” said Brian Roeder, a self-confessed serial entrepreneur and co-owner of the canine-friendly “grape shop.” “When we opened we had a dream and it’s being fulfilled. We’ve employed hundreds of people over the years; it’s been a wonderful journey. Challenging at times, yes, but nonetheless wonderful.”

Barrel Oak provides a popular destination for friends to gather.

“We wanted people to come out and celebrate important moments; graduations, anniversaries, birthdays and other life celebrations.”

– BRIAN ROEDER

How many can similarly speak in rapture about their place of employment after a decade in the harness? Exactly. Brian and Sharon Roeder share operating responsibilities; Sharon Roeder is the production manager and one of two winemakers and Brian Roeder wears the green eye shade with a sharp pencil tucked behind his ear. The saga began in 2006 when Sharon Roeder sought to execute on a life-

long dream: growing grapes. They scoured properties from Loudoun County to Albemarle County before settling on their Delaplane site. Within a year, it was obvious financial success might not lie in just pruning vines and selling grapes. The decision was made to take the endeavor to the next level and open a winery. The budding lady vintner honed her skills by volunteering at local wineries; essentially creating an internship for developing her enological skills. BOW WOW: Both Roeders love dogs and knew they would be an integral part of the winery. You’d be hard pressed to find a Virginia winery that doesn’t have canine buddies circulating through the vineyards shooing deer away while greeting guests with a tail wag. Serendipitously, Sharon Roed-

er was walking around the winery during its opening days carrying her Golden Retriever puppy. The ensuing hugs and cooing often ended with the question, “Can we bring our dog here, too?” Of course! BOW WOW was born. “We knew we were going to be dog-friendly but, in the beginning, didn’t know exactly what that meant,” said Roeder. In essence, the early guests and owners worked collaboratively to create the first family-kid-dog-friendly winery in Virginia. The intuitive move was the catalyst for explosive growth. “Before opening the winery, our experience with wine was centered See BARREL OAK, Page 14

Barrel Oak Winery pulls celebratory cork BARREL OAK, from Page 13 around family and friends in a living room setting. It was just natural to create the same atmosphere at Barrel Oak,” said Brian Roeder. “We wanted people to come out and celebrate important moments; graduations, anniversaries, birthdays and other life celebrations.” Innovation: A well-honed Barrel Oak trait is innovation or thinking outside the wine barrel. Never satisfied to rest on past successes, the entrepreneurial couple were the first winery to open a food court, first to provide dozens of picnic tables for large capacity outdoor seating–some 500 seats are available at any given time–first to be awarded a permit to produce and serve beer alongside side their wine and the first to extend hours on Fridays and Saturdays to 9 p.m. The brewery operation is emblematic of searching for the new and thus becoming the first. With the ascendency of craft beer in Virginia–and its financial impact on wine sales–Roeder knew he wanted to be in both the grape and hop game but not a single winery in Virginia had broken the ice with a dual production and sales permit. In reality, even ABC officials were reluctant to agree with his initial request without researching the inquiry. The interim response of “We’ll look into it” turned into a

simply a freedom of choice issue and freedom wins every time. Today, the winery Tap House is a thriving center of craft beer sales. The menu includes a variety of brews including Kolsch, IPA, Winter Amber, Irish Red, Saison, Belgian Dubbel and more. Even some of their hops are grown on the property. But with the advent of beer sales, it did not mean a de-emphasis on wine. To the contrary, last year there were more than 8,000 cases of wine produced and a new premium red category placed in the lineup. The new bottlings will receive extended aging in oak barrels for three to four years to enhance body and complexity before taking a position on the tasting menu. With the continued emphasis on expanding the adult Disney World atmosphere, the guest count on weekends is as strong as ever. “During the fall weekends we’ll have between 1,200 and 1,600 people here with parking for 400 cars,” said Roeder. But he quickly underscores no one waits to be served. “We have eight tasting bars operating when its busy.” Fundraisers: Since opening its doors the winery has sponsored hundreds of fundraisers. The events range from donating $150 gift certificates to a deserving charity for auction or door prizes to turning the entire winery over to a charitable entity who plan and organize a dedicated event for their organization. “We hand the winery over to them so to speak,” said Roeder. “These large events typically raise between

“Yes, it’s legal” answer. “It was an important question that nobody had thought to ask,” said Roeder. “Today other wineries are following suit.” The dual social lubricant solution also addressed the question whether men prefer beer and women wine? Maybe, but not necessarily so. Gender could play a role in the issue but more important to Barrel Oak was the ability to fulfill co-customer desires. In trade speak, it was

On Sept. 8, join the fun while supporting a wonderful cause when Barrel Oak dedicates the day to the Leigh family and their sons, Noah and Kaleb. Both brothers have faced cancer; Kaleb is in remission for the second time and Noah is currently in treatment. The funds raised will go to help the family with medical expenses. The festival kicks off at 12:30 p.m. with live music starting at 1 p.m.; five talented groups will perform nonstop until 8 p.m. General admission tickets are $20; children $5.

The money raised was used to help rescue dogs impacted by the hurricanes. Animal rescue is especially important to the winery since, “We are committed to the welfare of dogs.” Many guests may not be aware that Barrell Oak has a dog rescue organization located on the winery grounds. On Oct. 18, WAAAG will again hold a fundraiser called Vineyard Trails & Tails 5K and Family Fun Dog Walk. As Roeder reflects on the success of Barrel Oak he notes customer support has been an integral part of its accomplishments. They recently garnered the Fauquier Times Reader’s Choice Award for Best Winery. “We have 35,000 likes on Facebook and more reviews on Yelp than any business in Fauquier. Our social media is unequal in Virginia wine thanks to our customers.” Here’s to the grape and the hop. For more wine tales, visit hagartyon-wine.com

Help from horses at Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center Learning life’s lessons from a unique vantage point: the saddle By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times

It didn’t take long for 12-year-old Abby to believe what her riding instructor was telling her. That she could rise above her disabilities. Since birth challenged with heart issues, brain development deficit and sensory challenges, Abby has always depended on others for her every need. But the feelings of helplessness slipped away the moment she met her first horse. Suddenly, she was empowered by a new four-footed friend, and – magic to this young woman from Manassas – when she sits in the saddle, she’s taller, stronger and faster than anyone on earth. Judging by the faces of other riders at Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center in Aldie, hundreds of other special needs riders are joining Abby doing things they’ve only dreamed of. They’re harnessing horsepower, and they’re flying high. “The riders that we serve tend to be more of the marginalized people in society,” said Sprout founder Brooke

Waldron. “Not everyone values their contributions. One of the things we strive to provide is the best of ourselves to our clients. And that starts with the best of our horses.” Aided by the 17-strong Sprout horse force, 10 employees and more than 100 volunteers, the blond powerhouse many know as “Bambi” because she’s always happy and forever on the move, has made the local nonprofit into one of the region’s top adaptive sports programs. Sprout serves more than 100 riders weekly throughout the year. Waldron’s family purchased the Rexrode property, a former soybean farm east of Aldie village center in 2009, and Sprout opened its doors to clients in 2011. Inspired by her uncle, who had been paralyzed by polio, Waldron sought to serve and empower people with special needs. She’s built quite a team and quite a facility in less than a decade. On the 27-acre property, there’s an indoor arena connected to a horse barn with classrooms and work stations as well as stalls. There are lots of paddocks with run-in sheds; a nature trail encircles the forested edge of the farm.

Sprout horses, mini to draft size, are chosen, Waldron said, for kind disposition. To excel as a therapeutic mount, she explained, a horse must remain calm with other horses, work quietly with multiple helpers on the ground, and be tolerant of rider miscues. Sprout has grown over the past decade to serve the needs of the local community. The success has brought challenges, but Waldron welcomes them. “We’ll keep growing until we run out of room for more horses,” she said.

Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services, in partnership with Culpeper Baptist Church, is offering training to become a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, with Cory D. Will as your instructor.There is no charge for this training. A peer specialist is an individual with lived experience (either personally or as a family member) with mental health, substance use, or trauma-related difficulties, who uses that experience to empower and support other individuals in recovery. Peer specialists foster hope for recovery by modeling their own recovery to the community they serve. They do this by helping peers identify their own strengths, developing goals and strategies to achieve them, and providing unconditional and positive support in individual and group settings. This training has been certified by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Disability Services and is one component to qualify as a CPRS in Virginia. To learn more about becoming a CPRS, visit www.rrcsb.org. Location: Session one, Friday, Sept. 7 – Saturday, Sept. 8, at RRCS on 15361 Bradford Road in Culpeper. Remaining sessions will be held at Culpeper Baptist Church, 318 S West Street, Culpeper, VA Days and times: The sessions will be held on Fridays and Saturdays, from Sept. 7 through October 6, 2018. Friday sessions run from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday sessions run from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Participants are responsible for meals, snacks, beverages and lodging. Refrigerators are onsite to store lunches.

Sprout riders have challenges ranging from cerebral palsy to autism, from wartime amputations to PTSD, and from emotional to social disorders. Some challenges “you can’t see from the outside,” explained Megan Glenn, whose son Grady does speech, occupational and movement therapy at Sprout. “Grady has sensory processing disorder and anxiety, but if you just saw him riding, you’d think he’s a totally normal kid.

Oncology nurse navigator helps patients manage a cancer diagnosis Fauquier Health patient case manager Jen McEachin, BSN, RN, was surprised when Fauquier Health’s oncology nurse navigator Richard Shrout approached her to suggest that she apply for his job. “Richard explained that he was retiring and thought I’d be a good candidate. I’d never been a nurse navigator before, but my work as a case manager has provided great training.” McEachin has been a nurse since 1996. As much as her clinical skills are invaluable, her listening skills, natural empathy and personal experience with cancer make her a great fit for the position. She makes a difference for cancer patients and their families every day. McEachin’s goal is to reach out to every Fauquier Health patient who has been diagnosed with cancer. “I try to make connections for people. I help those who have just received a cancer diagnosis navigate resources – I help them decide what appointments and procedures they need and facilitate those. I can connect them with the Road to Recovery program if they need transportation to appointments and assist with filling out the paperwork to get their prescriptions paid for – or at least a cost reduction. The paperwork can be so complicated.” Part of McEachin’s job is to lessen the financial burden for cancer patients. She works to secure discounted medication from pharmaceutical companies and fills out applications for grants or vouchers. “Sometimes I am able to connect folks with the Department of Social

ROBIN EARL Services. This week I helped arrange for a contractor to fix a patient’s roof. I can help if a patient needs to complete an advance directive (a living will), or arrange for meals to be delivered. The help I am able to offer runs the gamut.” McEachin works closely with the Department of Aging and with cancer support groups hosted by Fauquier Hospital. “We have wonderful counselors for those groups, and I am happy to offer some additional support.” The Fauquier Hospital Center for Cancer Care is accredited by the Commission on Cancer, a program of the American College of Surgeons. To maintain accreditation, Fauquier Hospital must stay current with clinical research opportunities and track dozens of statistics – on general population, age, diagnosis and treatment. McEachin is a member of the team that maintains those stats. Paperwork aside, McEachin said her job is “getting patients what they need, when they need it.” Sometimes what they need is information. “I am able to talk about the science of their disease in a way patients can understand.

This document provides the patient with a roadmap for what’s next. It provides for continued surveillance once treatment has ended. Nurses in Fauquier Hospital’s In-

fusion Center keep her updated on patients receiving chemotherapy, and McEachin visits the Infusion Center regularly. “I drop in to see how everybody is doing. I get status updates, they share their stories with me – ‘I felt good this weekend.’ ‘I bought a new hat.’ They tell me about their grandchildren.” For McEachin, cancer is personal. She lost both her parents to cancer and her two sisters (one of whom is an oncology nurse) have battled the disease. When McEachin was 31, she had her first colonoscopy and doctors discovered a polyp. She understands what her patients are going through. “We talk about how they are dealing with the changes they face, how they can accept those changes. We talk about how they can overcome the trials that come with a cancer diagnosis. They have lost something, and I listen to their grieving.” Robin Earl is the public relations specialist for Fauquier Health. You may reach her at 540-316-2605 or earlr@fauquierhealth.org

Help from horses at Sprout Therapeutic Riding Center SPROUT, from Page 15 at Sprout. Brooke is amazing, and the bond Grady has formed with her, and the volunteers, and especially his pony, is nothing short of a miracle.” Therapists have long found horseback therapy helpful to build posture, balance and flexibility. But there’s more, Waldron said. Some students come in to Sprout completely non-verbal, she said. Unwilling, angry, scared – all drop away when they see, or touch, their first real, living, breathing horse. “The rhythmic pattern [of a horse] mimics the way humans walk,” said Waldron. The side-to-side motion and forward-and-backward movement of a horse help relax the body. Physical therapy in a clinic may accomplish the same kind of exercise, but it’s not nearly as much fun, said program volunteer Sandra Rogers. Her T-shirt has a simple message: “Life is good. Horses make it better.” Her daughter is a Sprout success story. “She was so nervous at first. There’s so much sensory input – the sights, the sounds, the smells. But Ms. Brooke introduced us to a horse that first day. She taught Abby how to say hello to

Confidence and control are two benefits. the horse, how to give the horse a treat. “[The instructors] met Abby where she was. They helped her engage with patience and acceptance.” Horses are big, Waldron said, and it can be scary, and unknown, but the horse-human bond benefits both. “You’re asking this big animal to trust you, and you have to trust in them,” she said. “[There’s] a sense of accomplishment and its incredible to watch. “We can’t let challenges stop us. It’s empowering.”

‘All About Shrubs’ presented on Aug. 28 Kristen Conrad, Arlington County Horticulture Extension Agent, will present a talk about the different types of shrubs for beautiful blooms and privacy as well as those shrubs that help the pollinators and feed the birds and other wildlife. The free program will be offered by The Virginia Cooperative Extension and Master Gardeners on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 6 p.m. at the Fauquier Extension Office, 24 Pelham St., Warrenton. Conrad’s discussion “All About Shrubs” will cover the basic care and pruning needed for keeping shrubs healthy. There are different shrubs which perform various functions in the garden. Some shrubs are used as foundation plants which hide the unsightly foundation area of many homes. The best shrubs for this would be evergreen shrubs which are deciduous and keep their color and leaves throughout the year. There are shrubs that can be used as a hedge or privacy border such as

Spring blooming azaleas provide much needed nectar for early butterflies.

hollies and shrubs that are used as accent plants such as shrubs placed on either side of the front door. Spring blooming shrubs can be a lifesaver for butterflies by providing much needed nectar for the early butterflies when not much else is in bloom yet. They provide a food source for birds and can attract warblers, thrashers, catbirds, orioles, tanagers and many more to your garden. The berries of hollies can provide bird food for much of the winter. The presentation is part of the Fauquier/Rappahannock Master Gardeners’ Twilight Tuesday’s program, a series of horticultural classes held from

spring to fall each year for the community. The classes are taught by horticultural experts and seasoned Master Gardeners and cover a broad range of topics – from gardening techniques and tips, to advances in environmental and conservation issues. The series provides local gardeners with innovative gardening techniques and best practices that they can put to use in their own home gardens. The program is scheduled for 60 – 90 minutes rain or shine. It is recommended to register and arrive early. Details at Master Gardener Help Desk at 540-341-7950, ext. 1 or helpdesk@fc-mg.org.

An eggplant by any other name is still a fruit By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

Do the words aubergine or brinjal, ring a bell? Or how about the proper Latin name of Solanum melongena, part of the nightshade family of Solanaceae? All right already, how about eggplant? The elongated fruit, like its distant relative the tomato, is a member of the genus Solanum. Both are frequently incorrectly referred to as a vegetable.

The seeds inside are a defining factor in categorizing it as a fruit. The word eggplant may now seem as if a misnomer, especially given that it’s often sold in the most popular color of deep purple. Yet, the fruit first appeared in the mid-1700s in England as white, and the approximate size of a goose egg. Three centuries later, these days they’re currently priced at $2.49 per pound at the Warrenton Safeway, $2 per pound from Santa Cruz Produce

at Archwood Green Barns in The Plains and $1.99 a pound at Messick’s Farm Market in Bealeton. For those who may want to grow their own next year, eggplant takes about 120-150 days from seed and 70-85 days from transplants. According to the University of California-Davis Research and Information Center, the recommended varieties include: Black Beauty, See EGGPLANT, Page 18

An eggplant by any other name is still a fruit EGGLPLANT, from Page 17

The eggplant comes in two distinct colors, purple and white.

Epic, Dusky, Imperial, Ichaban, Tycoon and the white Easter Egg. They also add that: “Only a few plants are needed to meet the average family’s needs.” The typical yield from a 10-foot row is about 20 pounds. Eggplants thrive in sunny, well-drained rich soil (pH of 6.0 to 7.0) and should be planted 18 to 24 inches by 30 to 36 inches apart. The spring flowering will add a breathtaking lavender show. They also can be grown in well-drained containers. However, be warned. The common disease of

verticillium wilt lurks. To curb the wilt, it’s suggested to rotate with other crops in the same garden. Insects such as red spider mites, flea beetles, whitefly, aphids, lace bugs and Colorado potato beetles can be a nuisance. When picking or shopping for eggplant, test for readiness by seeking a full rich deep color of purple and then press the side of the fruit with the thumb. If the dimple remains, it’s ripe and it’s ready. And next time you’re visiting England, ask for an aubergine. Heading to South Africa? Go for the brinjal. Otherwise, eggplant will be just fine.

• Very small or baby eggplant (you’re looking for fewer seeds) • Garlic • Red wine vinegar • Salt Peel eggplant and cut into large match sticks. Put into a colander and salt liberally. Invert a plate onto the top of the eggplant and weigh it down with a pot of water. Let it sit for about an hour, then rinse the eggplant and squeeze out as much water as possible. Peel whole cloves of garlic. Stuff a glass jar almost full with eggplant, adding cloves of garlic, to taste, and fill jar with red wine vinegar. Put on lid and store in the pantry for two to three weeks. Refrigerate, after opening. These pickled eggplants are great in salads, on sandwiches, or as a sandwich filling itself.

Artist Keith Haring stands in front of his mural on the Berlin Wall in October 1986.

Ask the expert: Art as a weapon? Staff Report Art as a Cold War weapon: How did the Soviets and the United States use visual art as a means to persuade during the Cold War? And in what ways did some famous artists use their art to protest Cold War situations? The Cold War Museum, in cooperation with Old Bust Head Brewing Company, will hold a presentation by Julia Bailey, curator at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, to answer these questions and more.

Art of the Cold War: Diplomacy, Propaganda and Resistance

How did artists respond to the Cold War – and what role did art play in shaping this conflict of ideologies? Bailey reveals some of the little-known stories of how art operated as Cold War diplomacy, propaganda and resistance across the globe. The presentation will explore how art was used by Cold War rivals as a proxy for military engagement. Large exhibitions of Soviet and American art toured the world, aimed at winning hearts and minds, while on both sides, dissenting artists were covertly groomed as propagandists. Art of various forms was created or appropriated as propaganda on the international stage and also at a domestic level: to shore up corrupt regimes, to demonize the enemy, and to motivate support for the continuation of the conflict. But artists are notoriously hard to control. The presentation will also show how artist-activists fought against the Cold War: by shining a light on some of its darkest moments, inspiring revolutions and protesting against repression and

occupation. From Picasso’s Cold War history paintings and Keith Haring’s murals on the Berlin Wall; to Henry Moore’s anti-nuclear sculptures and Julia Tatiana paintings protesting Bailey against US military presence in Japan; this presentation will provide an overview of some of the most creative and controversial examples of the art of the Cold War. Bailey is a British art historian and curator, specializing in the visual culture of the Cold War. Bailey is the founder of Espionart (espionart. com), a blog and research platform that uncovers the response and contribution of painting, sculpture, photography and other visual arts to the unique geopolitical and psychological circumstances of the Cold War. She is currently Lead Curator for Academic Events at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, having previously worked as a research manager and curator of exhibitions and acquisitions at Tate Modern.

Not only will this assist firefighters during a fire, but it will also provide immediate access to service technicians who may need to immediately turn off valves if a pipe ruptures. Your cooperation can be of great help during a critical time. Also, to keep fire hydrants in good condition and ready for fire department or town personnel use, it is imperative to guard against unauthorized users illegally connecting to hydrants. Such illegal use could cause damage to the fire hydrants and impede firefighters from extinguishing a fire. If you see anyone connecting a hose to a hydrant, call 911 immediately and give the location of the hydrant. For questions, call the Public Utilities Department at 540-347-1858.

She was a 60-year resident of the Remington area and at age 92, she passed on Aug. 6. As a Fauquier County School bus driver and rider for more than 40 years, she influenced the lives of many students and taught them “respect.” She was always able to engage friends and acquaintances in conversation about the topics of the day and stories of the past. Mrs. B loved showing photos, sharing music and conversing. She will be missed, but not forgotten.

Ask the Arborist

Jamie Wood Greg Bradshaw Shane Wagoner

I.S.A. Certified Arborists

Caring for the soil in the fall yields results in the spring

Fall is a season when soil moisture and temperature is perfect for root growth. Root systems store reserves of starch that will become active energy in the spring when new growth occurs. In landscapes soil nutrients are constantly being depleted by trees, grasses and shrubs as well as by leaching or run off. A critical key to maintaining strong, healthy plants is ensuring necessary nutrients are in place and are available for the plants to use for photosynthesis and growth. Depending on soil type and location the soil nutrient compositions can vary quite a bit. The first step in determining the soil care needs of your plants should be a thorough inspection of the site and soil sampling as needed. Based on the inspection and soil analysis a custom soil care program can then be developed for your plants specifically. In some situations where tree roots are either not healthy enough or are simply not present fertilization may not be the answer. No amount of fertilizer will help a tree if the roots are simply not there. In these cases, the root growth zone should be improved to encourage more root growth. Winter months can be hard on plants. They sustain storm damage, freezing and thawing temperatures, animal browsing and may have over-wintering pests and diseases that will appear in the spring. Having a professional who is trained in horticulture and arboriculture assess the condition of your landscape and take steps to protect your plantings for the winter months is a proactive approach to the health care of your plants. Arboriculture is a rapidly growing industry with a wide range of employment types. We have career opportunities available for those interested in caring for trees and shrubs. Please visit our website for details on different types of opportunities and benefits. For more information call us at (540) 364-2401 or 1-877-Bartlett.

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | August 22, 2018 NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF THE PETITION OF VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF TWO UTILITY SCALE SOLAR PROJECTS IN VIRGINIA AND FOR APPROVAL OF A RATE ADJUSTMENT CLAUSE CASE NO. PUR-2018-00101

On July 24, 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) a petition (“Petition”) for approval and certificates of public convenience and necessity (“CPCNs”) to construct and operate two utility scale solar photovoltaic generating facilities: (i) the Colonial Trail West Solar Facility (“CTW Solar”), an approximately 142 megawatt (“MW”) (nominal alternating current) facility located in Surry County; and (ii) the Spring Grove 1 Solar Facility (“SG1 Solar”), an approximately 98 MW AC facility located in Surry County (collectively, “US-3 Solar Projects” or “Projects”). The Company requests approval of and a CPCN for each of the US-3 Solar Projects pursuant to §§ 56-46.1 and 56-580 D of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Filing Requirements in Support of Applications for Authority to Construct and Operate an Electric Generating Facility. Through its Petition, the Company also requests approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider US-3, pursuant to Code § 56-585.1 A 6 (“Subsection A 6”) and the Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings. Dominion filed a Motion for Entry of a Protective Order and Additional Protective Treatment, as well as a proposed Protective Order with its Petition. Dominion maintains that the US-3 Solar Projects are needed, economic, and will provide ongoing capacity, energy, and environmental benefits for its customers and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company states that the newly enacted Grid Transformation and Security Act, among other things, promotes the construction of new utility-owned and -operated solar or wind generation facilities and amends Subsection A 6 to provide that 5,000 MW of solar is in the public interest. According to Dominion, beginning construction before December 31, 2019, will allow the Company to maximize the federal investment tax credits available for solar facilities, which will result in an approximately $56 million reduction to overall customer costs. Dominion indicates that it is proposing the US-3 Solar Projects in connection with its experimental, voluntary companion tariff, designated Schedule RF, which the Commission recently approved in Case No. PUR-2017-00137. The Company states that Scout Development LLC, a subsidiary of Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) has committed to purchasing the environmental attributes, including renewable energy credits (“RECs”), associated with the proposed Projects at a fixed price under Schedule RF. Dominion maintains that it intends to sell the RECs produced by the US-3 Solar Projects to Facebook, and to credit the associated revenue to all jurisdictional customers through Rider US-3. Dominion represents that in conjunction with its efforts to expand its portfolio of renewable and carbon free resources, the Company issued a request for proposals (“2017 RFP”) designed to identify potential acquisition projects to review and potential power purchase agreements to purchase, and provide a third-party market alternatives test. The Company asserts that its 2017 RFP meets the Subsection A 6 requirement to consider and weigh alternative options, including third party market alternatives, in selecting proposed generating facilities. As proposed, the Projects would include ground-mounted, single-axis tracking solar panel arrays with an expected operating life of 35 years. If approved, Dominion expects CTW Solar to be in service by December 2019, and SG1 Solar to be in service by October 2020. The Company states that the Projects will provide direct and indirect economic benefits to the Commonwealth of Virginia of approximately $115.9 million, which will support 721 jobs on a cumulative basis from 2018 to 2021. The Company proposes an initial rate year for Rider US-3 of March 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020 (“Rate Year”), and represents that the three key components of the revenue requirement for the US-3 Solar Projects are the Projected Cost Recovery Factor, the allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) Cost Recovery Factor, and the Actual Cost True-Up Factor. Dominion states that the Projected Cost Recovery Factor consists of the projected financing costs on invested capital for the Rate Year, plus income taxes on the equity component of the return and projected operating costs of the plant(s) during the post-commercial operations date portion of the Rate Year, as applicable. The Company indicates that the AFUDC Cost Recovery Factor consists of the recovery of AFUDC projected to be accrued on the Company’s books for the US-3 Solar Projects. Dominion states that it did not include a true-up amount in this proceeding. However, if initiated in 2020 as expected, Dominion represents that the Actual Cost True-Up Factor will either credit to, or recover from, jurisdictional customers the difference between actual revenues recovered through Rider US-3 for calendar year 2019 compared to actual costs. The Company indicates that the total revenue requirement requested for the Rate Year for Rider US-3 is $10,365,000. If the proposed Rider US-3 is approved, the impact on customer bills would depend on the customer’s rate schedule and usage. The Company asserts that implementation of the proposed Rider US-3 on March 1, 2019, will increase the monthly bill of a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month by approximately $0.21. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Petition and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Petition and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Petition and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing on December 18, 2018, at 10 a.m., in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive testimony from members of the public and evidence related to the CPCN portion of Dominion’s Petition from the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness at this hearing on the CPCN portion of Dominion’s Petition should appear fifteen (15) minutes prior to the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff.
