Warrenton couple displaced by house fire Donations sought for rebuilding By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Frederick and Frances Penn of Warrenton want to rebuild their home that stood for 50 years before catastrophe struck. A fire on Aug. 6 consumed their two-bedroom, single-story home at 8930 Meetze Road. Capt. Russell Baker, of the Fauquier County Fire Marshal’s Office, said the fire was likely caused by electrical wiring worn by age and damaged by water leaks. The Penns weren’t home at the time of the late-morning blaze, the couple said. The Penns didn’t have insurance on their home. A GoFundMe page has been set up for them. There’s a goal of $50,000. As of Aug. 28, a total of $3,351 had been raised. The couple figures they need about $150,000 to rebuild. Frederick Penn, 88, served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. American Legion Post 360 in Warrenton stepped up to help with a donation of $500. “We’d like for the community and veterans to help with donations,” said Robert Chichester, service officer with Post 360. Penn said he worked on the maintenance staff of the City of Falls Church. Now retired, he and his wife receive Social Security benefits. The American Red Cross put them

New advisory group takes another crack at troubled intersections Two meetings are planned to discuss U.S. 29, Vint Hill Road, others By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Ike Broaddus, the co-owner of Old Bust Head Brewing Company in Vint Hill, believes he and others know how to make U.S. 29 in Fauquier County safer while improving traffic flow. But he said he’ll attend Thursday’s initial meeting of a “Route 29/New Baltimore Advisory Group” with an open mind. He wants to hear what Virginia Department of Transportation officials bring to the table. Broaddus is one of nine stakeholders advising VDOT as it takes a fresh look at making the INSIDE Business.............................................13 Classified............................................27 Communities......................................22 Faith...................................................26

stretch of U.S. 29 from the Warrenton town border to Vint Hill Road, near the Prince William County line, safer and less congested. This “do over” comes after VDOT plans for four intersections were roundly criticized by business owners, residents and the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. The board this year approved a resolution that asked VDOT to cease currently planning and start the process anew. Of particular concern was a VDOT proposal to replace the existing traffic light at U.S. 29 and Vint Hill Road with a restricted crossing and U-turn configuration that would have relied on what some call “Michigan lefts,” a reference to

the prominence of such intersections in that state. Business owners, including Broaddus, were concerned that such a design would make getting to Vint Hill difficult and dangerous for customers and truck shipments. Also, the Fauquier County school division didn’t like the idea of forcing school buses to make what they considered dicey U-turns on U.S. 29. Lou Hatter, communications manager for VDOT’s Culpeper District, said this isn’t the first time VDOT has re-started project planning. He pointed to the Route 29 Solutions program on U.S.29 in the Charlottesville-Albemarle County area.

Clinton by 55 to 41 percent in 2016. Although recently downgraded from “solid Republican” to “lean Republican” by the Cook Political Report and declared a “toss-up” by data journalist Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog, a Democratic win in the 5th District would be considered an upset. Rep. Tom Garrett, a Republican, won the seat in 2016 with 58 percent of the vote. Garrett has declined to seek re-election, citing a battle with alcoholism. It’s been a decade since a Democrat held the seat. Tom Perriello won it in 2008, when President Barack Obama was first elected, but lost two years later in the 2010 midterms. The district stretches from Fauquier County to the North Carolina line, comprising 21 counties and two cities, Charlottesville and Danville. Still, Cockburn says she sees the swell of a blue wave on the horizon. Her campaign boasts 1,400 volunteers, she said, whose efforts are being coordinated by a 16-member staff with local leaders in every county in the district. “We’re closing in,” Cockburn said. “We have an internal poll that showing that it’s neck and neck.” In the Aug. 16 interview, Cockburn touched on a range of topics, including health care — the issue she says is most critical to Central Virginians — as well as the opioid crisis, immigration reform, her past criticism of Israeli foreign policy and why she decided, late last month, to spotlight her GOP opponent’s unusual fascination with Bigfoot. The race made national headlines in late July after Cockburn tweeted a post Republican nominee Denver Riggleman made on his now-private Instagram page. The post featured a drawing of Bigfoot with Riggleman’s face superimposed over the creature’s head and a black bar censoring its private parts. Cockburn’s tweet included this comment: “My opponent Denver Riggleman, running mate of [GOP Senate nominee] Corey Stewart, was caught on camera campaigning with a white supremacist. Now he has been ex-

posed as a devotee of Bigfoot erotica. This is not what we need on Capitol Hill.” The tweet marked something of a scoop. Riggleman’s interest in Bigfoot was not widely known before Cockburn shared the post. Riggleman responded by insisting he’s not into “Bigfoot erotica” — never heard of it, he said. Riggleman has already written one book on Bigfoot and is planning a second, to be titled: “The Mating Habits of Bigfoot and Why Women Want Him.” “For me, the book really is an anthropological study on all the people who believe in Bigfoot and the different Bigfoot belief systems out there. That’s it,” Riggleman said at the time, according to the Daily Beast. “This is a real subculture in the United States, and it’s hundreds of thousands of people that believe.” Asked why she chose to spotlight Riggleman’s interest in Bigfoot, Cockburn said she believed voters should know about it. “I did it because he had presented himself this way on social media and I thought it was just important to show it without a lot of comment,” she said. Cockburn also addressed what has become the Republicans’ chief talking point about her candidacy: that a 27-year-old book she authored with her husband, fellow journalist Andrew Cockburn, suggests she is an anti-Semite. The book, “Dangerous Liaison: The Inside Story of the U.S.-Israeli Covert Relationship,” was critical of some aspects of Israeli foreign policy. Cockburn noted she’s been endorsed by JStreet, a pro-Israel advocacy group, and dismissed the charge. “What people who support Israel — and I’m one of them — understand is that there’s a big difference between being critical of policy, as a journalist, and being an anti-Semite,” she said.

COCKBURN from page 2 hannock County, said she has put 67,000 miles on her car to meet with voters in all stretches of the 5th District. Despite the size of the 5th District, its residents are largely dealing the same challenges, which include, in no particular order: Health care: Cockburn said the country has the “most dysfunctional” health care system in the world and blames unaffordable insurance premiums in parts of Central Virginia on the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. The administration has eliminated subsidies to insurance companies on the healthcare exchange as well as the individual mandate — tax penalties for those who don’t have insurance — which has pushed up premiums as companies fear higher costs due to a potentially older and less healthy client pool. Cockburn said she supports the idea of allowing Medicare to sell insurance plans on the exchange to Americans of any age — not just those who are 65 or older. Sen. Tim Kaine calls the proposal “Medicare X” and has introduced legislation to make it happen. Cockburn said she supports Medicare X as a transition to a mostly publicly supported health care system that would eliminate the profit motive and higher overhead costs associated with private health care insurance. The opioid epidemic: Cockburn said she is learning about the different treatment models for opioid addiction and believes the standard, 28-day residential model is not working. Addicts, she said, do better in programs that provide support for longer periods of time. She said she’s particular-

ly impressed by programs that involve the “recovery community,” those who have battled their own drug addictions. “The recovery community has the answer, there’s no doubt it,” she said. Cockburn said she would seek to funnel more federal resources into treatment programs that are proven most effective. Foundering farms: Cockburn said the district seems filled with farmers trying to make it in agriculture but forced to supplement their income in other ways, resulting in farmer-firefighters, farmer-lawyers, etc. The tariffs enacted by the Trump administration are hurting farmers, Cockburn said, as is the stalled federal immigration legislation. “Immigrant labor is the backbone of the 5th District,” she said. “Who’s milking these cows three times a day? It’s the immigrants.” Farmers, she says, are telling her “don’t demonize these people. These people are keeping my farm going.” Cockburn says Congress must enact a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Regarding reinforcing the border wall, Cockburn said President Trump isn’t listening to the people who live in border communities. “A lot of them don’t want a wall. I’ll tell you, if you have a wall and you can’t go over the wall, you’ll go under it,” she added, referring to the possibility for border-crosses to tunnel beneath such a barrier. Cockburn said she’s “completely appalled” by Trump’s zero tolerance policy for border-crossers that led to family separation, calling it “a level of cruelty never seen before” in the U.S. Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@fauquier.com

Advisory group to study intersections GROUP from page 1 “That section of the corridor was studied multiple times over several decades before projects to address safety and congestion in that area were identified, designed and constructed,” Hatter said. Broaddus noted that discussions about improving the intersection at Vint Hill Road and U.S. 29 that have been going on between VDOT and community groups since about 2007. “It’s been a very frustrating decade,” Broaddus said. “VDOT would come through with solutions the community did not want. Of three, four, five or six possible solutions, VDOT would give one or two that were just not acceptable but [they] would conclude were the best solutions.” He said a “simple solution” exists for the traffic trouble spot: leveling the hills to improve the sightlines and reducing the speed limit from 55 to 45 miles per hour. Broaddus said he believes the lower speed limit would get travelers through the area without the speeding up, stacking up and accidents that occur now. Broaddus said that solution has local support from all stakeholders — businesses, residents, school division, supervisors and planning commission. But Broaddus said he wants to

any new data and studies VDOT may have for the study group. “I’d like to listen to objective data and new ways of thinking. Maybe VDOT will come back with a better idea,” Broaddus said. Besides Broaddus, the advisory group includes Marc Geffroy of Seneca Properties LLC; Pete Eltringham of the county’s transportation committee; Tim Hoffman, of the Vint Hill Homeowners Association; Natalie Erdossy of the Brookside HOA; Haven Melton, air traffic manager at the Federal Aviation Administration facility at Vint Hill; Steve Combs, deputy commissioner of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services; Christy Thorpe, principal of C. Hunter Ritchie Elementary School; and Craig Oakley, director of the New Baltimore Fire Department. The group will hold its initial meeting Thursday, Aug. 30, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the first-floor conference of the Warren Green building, 10 Hotel St., Warrenton. The meeting is open to the public. Overflow seating will be available in the second-floor large conference room. A follow-up meeting is planned for Thursday, Sept. 27 at a location to be determined.

Fauquier Times | August 29, 2018

Ongoing shortage underscores the value of our teachers Welcome, teachers, and a sincere thank-you for returning to your classrooms for another school year. Few people can have the influence on our children that their teachers do. Their names stick with you for life. The good ones often become friends and have the ability to encourage students in ways their parents often cannot. Good teachers are a necessity. Which is why the continuing trend of teacher shortages locally and across the state remains alarming. Low pay — 18 percent of teachers earn income outside the classroom, according to a National Center for Education Statistics report — is a big factor and helped spur on some of the statewide teacher strikes witnessed in the last year, notably in West Virginia, Oklahoma and Arizona. And gone are the days of the image of a plush union paycheck and long summer vacations, if that ever truly existed. Today’s teachers are expected to be constantly continuing their education, often out of pocket, in order to maintain their certifications. But money is only one factor in the mix. Insufficient classroom resources, too-large class OUR VIEW sizes, and testing requirements, as well as political attacks on unions and the profession itself, have helped drive qualified candidates and veteran teachers away from education. A 2013 poll found that teacher satisfaction had declined 23 percentage points since 2008. One can only wonder what effect last spring’s Parkland shooting, and the false alarms in its wake, will have on those considering entering or remaining in the field. College students were already turning away from the major, according to recent data. In 1975, more than one-fifth of college students majored in education. By 2015, that number fell to fewer than one in 10, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Meanwhile, shortages are exacerbated by an increased demand on our public schools. As of fall 2017, 50.7 million students were attending public elementary and secondary schools, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. By 2025, that number is expected to expand to 51.4 million. Traditionally, the shortage was particularly acute in math, special education, science and foreign languages, but now is being felt across the board. And local schools are feeling it. That is why Fauquier County Public Schools should be lauded. According to a recent press release, one week into the academic year, it has filled 120 certified vacancies, leaving only 10 open. Fauquier County recruited regionally to attract qualified candidates while also focusing on grooming home-grown talent, where students shadow education personnel and prepare with mock interviews. And the Virginia Department of Education is playing a role, helping to attract career switchers and by passing legislation to make it easier for in-state teachers to renew their licenses and out-of-state teachers to get licenses in the state, and extending the period those licenses are effective. Both the county’s and state’s efforts are necessary if we are to properly address the needs of our students and our community. If we are to turn out graduates who are either prepared to achieve with their counterparts in the nation’s colleges and universities, or are equally prepared to take their place in society, we must have, attract and keep the best teachers available.

What is in the other fellow’s toilet? With regard to your front-page story “Biosolids still raise a stink”, I want to make sure your readers recognize “biosolids” is code for what is in the other fellow’s toilet. That it should be 20- to 40-ton tanker trucks arriving at 30 a YOUR VIEW day from 50 miles away should alarm everybody. That it is delivered to Fauquier farmers as fertilizer for free confirms it. Washington, D.C. high density populations are flushing their toilets on Fauquier County. How long can we expect the soil and drinking water of our county to survive this attack? That state Sen. Jill Vogel had to call Richmond to confirm that this transaction was legal suggests that someone in our government is getting rich. Ward O’Brien Warrenton

More research, monitoring needed on biosolids

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Nobody should be comfortable with the level of basic groundwater and toxicological research that guides our regulations for biosolids. Virginia’s 2016 Joint Legislative Audit Review Committee study states, “the most comprehensive study to date” is a vintage 1985 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study that should make people twitch. EPA’s current “frequently asked questions” on biosolids safety still refers to the 2002 NRC report, “Biosolids Applied to Land.” It is well known that EPA long ago ceased support for research in biosolids and they have not kept up with the proliferation of organic compounds and pathogens which, JLARC correctly admitted, “lacks scientific consensus”. During EPA’s last “Biennial Reviews of Biosolids” in 2013 and 2015, the agency identified 35 and 29 new chemicals in biosolids, respectively, and six new microbial pollutants. That means there are now more than 400 chemical compounds found in biosolids. Many of these individual compounds have not been assessed by U.S. EPA, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the Food and Drug Administration or others, and toxicity and the pathology is poorly established. EPA’s last review concluded, “The available data for many of the chemicals and microbial pollutants identified are not sufficient at this time to evaluate risk using current biosolids-modeling tools. There is lots of evidence that our thresholds and regulations are probably not based on science or common sense. Following on the above, it becomes even more crucial that DEQ have the capacity to fully implement the regula-

tions as they stand today or tomorrow. DEQ staff resources dedicated to biosolids oversight have declined while the volume of biosolids has increased. Some suggest that’s typical as regulations “mature,” but if the application rules (source, set-backs, soils, storage) are not based on good numbers, should we be so confident? More than half of the biosolids spread on Virginia farms are from Maryland and D.C., and the chemical concentrations and pathogen levels are usually determined at the wastewater facility, not the field on which they are spread. While counties in Virginia are unable to enact regulations that are stricter than DEQ’s regulations for biosolid spreading, they can adopt local ordinances for inspection and monitoring and can hire local monitors, which can be reimbursed by the state. Culpeper and Clarke counties have established such oversight programs, and Fauquier should consider doing so. Likewise, Fauquier’s competent GIS department could begin mapping properties on which biosolids have been applied for basic food safety and monitoring purposes. Our county and state officials should be enthusiastically supporting all seven of the JLARC recommendations and particularly No. 1, which asks the General Assembly to “direct the Virginia Department of Health to design and conduct a pilot epidemiological study of the human health effects of land application of biosolids.” If we don’t know what we don’t know … Dave Gibson Marshall District

After days of unbearable heat and humidity followed by days of rain, we finally get one of those rare late summer days when it’s a joy to be outdoors. There’s even a pleasant breeze from the west. The only problem is that that pleasant breeze brings the unbearable stench of human waste freshly spread on the 400 or so acres across the road from our home. My wife and I used to commute to work in Prince William County. On our way to work, we passed a large farm in southern Fauquier where biosolids were spread on the fields periodically. As we drove by in the car, we found the stench to be unbearable even with the windows of the car rolled up. Additionally, the truck making the delivery would leave really smelly and unsightly tracks in its wake as the substance splattered out onto the road. Now, we must deal with that stench here in our yards and, if we choose to open our windows, in our homes. The first really nice day of the summer brings air that stinks. I know that state regulations per-

mit the application of biosolids in farming situations, however, this practice is inconsiderate and inappropriate in a residential community. It is neither civil nor neighborly. While we object to polluting the air in this way, we must also be concerned about the larger questions: What is run-off from biosolids doing to our streams? How is it affecting the watershed and our wells? Most of the land in question is sloping and run-off goes downhill ending up in Turkey Run and other nearby streams. What are the long-term environmental effects of biosolids? Can we trust our state leadership to have the best interests of those who live in communities such as ours in mind when these regulations are written and approved? As citizens and neighbors of this land, we have every right to be concerned. We are all stewards of our natural resources and environment and should take this stewardship seriously.

Virginia ranks 15th in terms of the highest number of reported human trafficking cases in the country — and those are the ones reported. When I started digging into the statistics provided by the National Human Trafficking Hotline, I found that Washington, D.C. ranks #4 by total number of calls and #1 by calls per capita. Statistically, less than 1 percent of cases are ever identified and reported. This includes both sex trafficking and labor trafficking. These statistics startled me as I started to learn more about human trafficking and felt the tug at my heart to take an active role in preventing it in Fauquier County. The question I am most asked is “what is human trafficking?” The NHTH states, “It is a form of modern-day slavery in which traffickers use force, fraud or coercion to control victims for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts, or labor services against his/her will.” The next question is often, “His/her? Do you mean both men and women, boys and girls are trafficked?” Yes! Traffickers target both genders, all ages, socio economic, cultural and racial demographics — there is a market for everyone and traffickers know how to get to it. If you take the time to look at heat maps of trafficking in Virginia, you will see trafficking all around us in Northern Virginia with arrests in counties as close as Prince William and Stafford so far in 2018. We are not immune to trafficking and we must protect our citizens. To that end 74 members of the Rotary Club of Warrenton recognize this risk and recently voted to adopt the Fauquier County Human Traffick-

ing Prevention Project as a club project and have partnered with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, FBI, Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Initiative and Just Ask Prevention to provide a series of community conversations to create awareness of the risks, and to provide resources for citizens to learn how to protect our community, and how to identify and report suspected trafficking. The first of these conversations is on Wednesday, Sept. 5, from 6:30 -8 p.m. at Taylor Middle School in Warrenton. Doors will open at 6 p.m. so the community can visit the information booths from our partners and other organizations involved in the cause before attending a presentation from our partners as well as to hear the perspective of a teen victim’s mother. We welcome the community to attend and ask questions.

As the concert chair for the Summer on the Green Concert series presented by Allegro, I have had the opportunity to witness something special. Two people, grossly under-resourced, pulled off a seven-concert series for the Town of Warrenton because they love this community and music courses through their veins. It was not without its challenges. The first concert had the town manager, new mayor, and Allegro co-founder walking Culpeper and Hotel streets trying to decide if they could pull off the inaugural concert while Columbia Power worked on a gas leak literally around the corner. Pull it off they did. From there, the organizers were met with uncooperative weather, power outages, and the ever-present challenge of securing volunteers during the busy vacation days of summer. But week after week, from July 7 through Aug. 18, every weekend, Sam and Lachelle Yoder were on the radar, on social media, and on the street setting up and keeping attendees apprised of any concert changes. I am not a concert organizer. I am simply an Old Town Warrenton and Allegro CSA supporter. I lent my help, and my children’s hands, to help set-up for several of the concerts. But it was Sam and Lachelle who said yes to an opportunity when they knew it may be stretching them a little thin, because they simply cannot say no to music and the chance to bring it to our community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for what they have brought to the residents and the Town of Warrenton for the past seven weeks! Due to dangerous weather on July 21, that concert was rescheduled. If you have not yet attended a Summer on the Green Concert Series this summer, you have one more opportunity on Sept. 8 when the Elizabeth Lawrence Band will perform and close out the season.

AND THEY’RE OFF (except Kettle Run) Eagles win, Falcons lose as football season commences Times Staff Writer

PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER

Darrion Allen and the Eagles host the athletic Courtland Cougars Friday. Courtland (0-1) has taken two of three in the yearly series. Sophomore Mason Gay finished as Liberty’s second-leading rusher. He came off the bench in the fourth quarter to run for 28 yards on three carries. “We have to do better at running the football,” Finnerty said, “and that’s just something that’s going to get better as the guys up front get more experience” as five new starters on the offensive line.

Cougars debut at Warren County

Kettle Run was deprived of a likely opening week win over Manassas Park when Manassas Park canceled their season due to low turnout. Now the Cougars debut Friday at Warren County (0-1).

NEXT GAME: Friday vs. Courtland, 7 p.m. “While not ideal, I think that the week off was beneficial for our program. We were able to focus on all the fine details that go into a game during our impromptu bye week,” said coach Charlie Porterfield, whose team is coming off a breakout 9-3 season. Warren County lost a heartbreaker to Handley 15-14. The Judges scored with 14 seconds left on a TD by Kevin Curry then went for two and made it. Warren County went 7-4 and made the playoffs for the first time in three seasons in coach Brian Bush’s first year.

0-1 Falcons hopeful of happy road trip to Brentsville By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Cougars open 2-0, without scoring a goal By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

By Peter Brewington Courtland is generally a good barometer for how strong Liberty’s football season will be. Last year the Eagles beat always-tough Courtland for the first time in three tries since the teams began playing in 2015 and went 9-3. Losses to Courtland in 2015 and 2016 led to seasons of 6-5 and 4-6. Friday’s Week 2 game in Bealeton should be tight. Courtland, which has made the playoffs for eight years in a row, is coming off a 35-0 loss to powerful Louisa County (14-1 last year) in its season opener, while Liberty handled Class 3 Brentsville 29-8. Eagle coach Sean Finnerty was both pleased and concerned with opening night. His Eagles took care of business in running the lifetime series edge to 13-1 over the Tigers. Veteran quarterback Raymond Morton looked stronger and more dangerous, throwing for 171 yards and three touchdowns on 10-for-15 passing before Finnerty pulled him at halftime with a 29-0 lead. Morton also ran for 74 yards on six carries out of the Eagles’ shotgun read-offense after playing only their final five games last season. “I feel good. I’m healthy and I’m a lot heavier” from lifting weights, Morton said. “I can run though some people and run around a few. I got a lot faster.”

KETTLE RUN FIELD HOCKEY

NEXT GAME: Friday at Brentsville, 7 p.m.

A look at Fauquier’s schedule should bring about some smiles heading into this week. After losing their season opener to Loudoun County, 35-12, the Falcons (0-1) are happy to take on what can best be described as a softer opponent in the Class 3 Brentsville Tigers (0-1). Fauquier leads the lifetime series 11-1, losing in 2016. Fauquier beat Brentsville 21-0 last year, and both teams are full of replacement players in 2018. “We are a young team and we are going to have to grind. It wasn’t the way they wanted it to go in their first game but it’s a long season and hopefully these guys can work and see what we did right and wrong on film,” said coach Joe Prince. Fauquier’s first game highlights came from junior fullback Darryl Mayfield, who scored the Falcons’ first touchdown on a 5-yard run. Fellow junior DeAndre Chavis provided a spark by carrying three times for 33 yards in the fourth quarter, including an 8-yard rushing touchdown with just 9.6 seconds left. The Falcon defense had its hands full with Loudoun County quarterback Nick Barts, who was an astounding 19-of-20 for nearly 250 yards and three touchdowns, but none in the first quarter as the host Falcons hung tough. The Falcons didn’t quit in the fourth quarter, recovering two Raiders’ fumbles and converting both opportu-

Kettle Run still is seeking an offensive identity, but a staunch Cougar defense keyed by goalie Allyssa Space led to a pair of nail-biting shootout victories in the opening week. Coach Beth Todd was pleased, but a nervous wreck, after her squad dispatched host Battlefield 1-0 on Aug. 22 by winning the shootout 2-0. Cougar Anna Lee tallied the opening score of the Battlefield shootout, with teammate Jillian Bennett adding a second. “The players are all hungry to score so they’re all trying really hard to get it in, but they haven’t completely synced in front of the goal yet,” said Todd, whose girls are 2-0. The scene was similar two days earlier when the Cougars struggled to score, then dispatched Forest Park 3-0 on shootout goals by Bennett, Jessica Wood and Maddy Powers. New goalie Space successfully countered all five attempts against Battlefield and also shut out Forest Park. “Alyssa and (fellow goalie) Caitlyn Hewitt both work really hard in the goal and take a lot of initiative on their own to improve and get better all the time,” said coach Todd. Both games saw the teams endure 60 scoreless minutes and 15 additional scoreless minutes of 7-on-7 sudden-victory action before the shootout. Todd stressed that credit for the pair of shutouts must be shared with defensive midfielders Meagan Maloney and Cara Preston. “They are both up supporting the attack and coming back to mark [attacker]. They have started very strong,” said noting the presence of seniors Ffiona Coulson and Samantha Muma anchoring the backline has been important as well. Kettle Run continues to work on getting the ball into the goal in regulation. A year ago the Cougars were shut out in 11 of 12 losses. Todd sees a definite glow on the horizon. “They’re really close though, so I’m very confident that with practice they will start to convert more opportunities to goals,” Todd predicted.

Diehl completed 2-of-5 passes for 22 yards in his debut; he is expected to grow into a reliable signal caller following in the footsteps of his brothers Garrett and Colin. “We have so many things to look at,” Prince said of his young team. “Some of the younger guys got in and got their feet wet. That is a positive. We started two freshmen tonight. Hopefully now we have some guys that can calm down and play to their capability. I want to see how we react. I want us to react positively.”

Two Fauquier High graduates broke through big Saturday at the Saratoga Racecourse in New York, with Upperville native Jonathan Thomas saddling Catholic Boy to win the $1.25 million Grade 1 Travers Stakes, and Marshall native Chuck Lawrence sending out Glorious Empire to win the $1 million Grade 1 Sword Dancer turf stake. “We’re just so proud of the horse and what he’s accomplished,” said

Thomas, 38, a 1998 Fauquier High grad who was raised at Rokeby Farm, where he spent his youth foxhunting, showing and working in the steeplechase industry. He rode over jumps starting at 17, riding two graded hurdle stakes winners during his apprentice championship year, 2000. Thomas moved into flat racing, signing on as assistant trainer to Christophe Clement in New York, then Dale Romans, before moving to Saudi Arabia in 2007 to work for

King Abdullah. He returned as Todd Pletcher’s assistant in 2008, then in 2013 went out on his own, based at Florida’s Bridlewood Farm. Thomas-trained horses have amassed lifetime earnings of almost $3 million. Lawrence, 52 and a 1984 Fauquier grad, grew up in racing as well. Winner of his first race in 1978 with pony racing phenom Lil Fritz, Lawrence went on to partner some of steeplechasing’s best – Eclipse champs Lonesome Glory, Hirapour and Warm Spell, along with International Gold Cup winner Jamaica Bay. Lawrence was champion jockey in 1989 and 1993. He hung up his tack after the ’94 season, swapping to training on the flat and moving to the Fair Hill, Maryland training center. “The Virginia boys made us all proud,” said John Dale Thomas, Jonathan’s father and longtime track manager of Virginia’s Shenandoah Downs and Colonial Downs racecourses. Lawrence said he and Thomas share more than a little Fauquier High history. “Jonathan and I were comparing notes after our big days on Saturday,” Lawrence said. “We both remember (hall monitor) Mr. (Lynn) Ward signing us in when we were tardy when we were late working horses on the track in the early morning. “Mr. Ward was a big racing fan. He understood what we were doing,” not just ditching school.

Renzi scores Falcons’ first goal of the year By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Entering its season-opening tilt, the Fauquier varsity field hockey team had only 20 minutes of an abbreviated preseason scrimmage with Tuscarora under its belt. When the Falcons took the field at Stonewall Jackson, a bit of rust was inevitable. But they prevailed 5-0 over the feisty Raiders. “We do have a lot of new players who still are trying to figure out how to put everything together,” Fauquier coach Brooke Settle said. “There were dynamics of them trying to figure out how to play. It took a while to figure out where everyone was.” “I feel we were not connecting as a team,” junior midfielder Ella Irvin agreed. “We needed to move as a team rather than as an individual.” The Falcons finally broke into the scoring column after 22 minutes when senior center middie Meredyth Rankin sent the ball goalward. Forward Ruby Wrigley nudged the ball forward to junior Jamie Renzi, who scored on the left side. “The goal made gave us a boost,” Renzi said with a broad smile of the team’s first goal of the season. “If we hadn’t scored early I don’t think we would have had the same energy at the end of the game.” The narrow lead stood at halftime when Settle urged her players to continue the aggressiveness. The Falcons forced several penalty corners before Madison Filson capped one opportunity with 16:08 left in the game. Irvin fed Abby McCusker on a corner play less than five minutes later for a 3-0 margin. The lead increased to 4-0 thanks to another successful corner. The Falcons outfought the Raiders on front of the goal. With Rankin feeding Fallon Goemmer for the score. The final tally came as time expired when Lucy Arnold passed to McCusker for a shot. “In the second half, we finally realized we all had to move like a unit,” Irvin said simply when asked the reason for the improved play. Fauquier hosts Osbourn Thursday at 6 p.m. in a varsity only tilt.

JV wins 5-1

Fauquier’s junior varsity beat Stonewall Jackson 5-1 in its opener. After surrendering the game’s first goal, the Falcons responded with a Quinn Holden goal for a 1-1 halftime tie. Holden then scored the eventual game-winning tally 80 seconds into the second half off a Paige Keith assist. Keith scored twice before Zofeya Maldanado capped the scoring.

YOU DID IT, DOUG! Harpole completes Appalachian hike By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Doug Harpole made it. The Amissville man finished his Appalachian Trail hike Sunday morning, rising early to scale Mt. Katahdin, Maine, to complete his 2,180-mile hike from Georgia. Harpole, 57, expressed extreme excitement mixed with nervousness in his final week, but kept an impressive pace to finish a marathon journey that most hikers only dream about. He hiked 15, 15, 22, 25 and 23 miles daily in the wilderness to reach the doorstep of Baxter State Park.

He registered at a staging area and walked to the top of 5,267-foot Mt. Katahdin early Sunday. “I reached the summit of Mt. Katahdin at about 8 this morning,” wrote Harpole in an email Sunday. “It was in the clouds so I’m waiting for them to clear for photos. It was a four-hour hike to the summit. I will write more this afternoon after I decompress.” Harpole took five-and-a-half months to complete the AT. He left March 12 and finished Aug. 26.

Into the great unknown: Falcons run well in first cross country meet By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Since Fauquier’s young team had not conducted a full 5,000-meter time trial in practice, last Saturday’s large Great Meadow Cross Country Invitational was full of intrigue. “We didn’t know if we had anyone who could run a 5K at [a particular] time. The main thing was just getting in there and seeing what happens,” said coach Quentin Jones. “Now we’ve got a baseline.“ Senior Nick Matthews ran to third place out of 204 runners in 16:43 to lead Fauquier to third in 23-school field with 154 points behind Loudoun Valley (36) and Patriot (95). Teammate John Paccassi also earned all-meet honors with his 11th-place finish at 17:11. “They were working hard, but they looked very relaxed and comfortable,” Jones said of the duo.

“They did not look like they were struggling. I also think Ryan Godfrey is another one who had a really good run,” he said of the 32nd finisher at 17:49. Stephen Hiner (51st, 18:09), Mark Zitzmann (58th, 18:10), Brian Bolles (63rd, 18:16), Brendan Daly (76th, 18:36) rounded out the Falcon top entries. The Fauquier girls varsity has four runners out of the seven returning from last fall’s Northwestern District title crew. One of them was missing Saturday due to academic testing. The Falcons placed 10th among the 18 teams. Junior Shelby Rosenberger topped the Falcons’ entry with her 50th-place run out of 156 runners to finish at 21:47. Annie Del Gallo (54th, 21;57) and Olivia Merchant (55th, 22:03) were the next Falcons. Lynsey Patterson (58th, 22:12), Kiara Randhawa (70th, 22:27), Katelyn Argo (77th, 22:49), Morgan Strickland (78th, 22:50) completed the top seven runners.

“The girls were placed close together…a nice cluster. Obviously you want your front runners to move up,” Jones said. Fauquier took second out of 15 in the underclass girls JV. Eva Del Gallo was 10th of 146 in 22:58, with Aubrey Fernanadez 11th at 22:59 and Caity Cummins (18th, 23:24). Fauquier’s boys underclass JV took fourth in the 20-school race. Connor Mollberg (21st, 20:26), Alan Sanchez (25th, 20:17), Aidan Stanton (27th, 20:20), Trevor Lawson (35th, 20:38), Austin Fernandez (40th, 20:51) were the scorers. Christopher Johnson took fifth out of 100 runners in boys upperclass JV competition in 18:58. In girls JV upperclass race, Brighton Craig was the top local runner placing 18th of 69 runners at 24:04. Also finishing were Kayla Leonard (21st, 24:24) and Sarah Lattig (29th, 24:55).

FAUQUIER VOLLEYBALL

Showdown match a dud for Falcons By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Expectations for a high-powered battle were lofty when Loudoun County, Virginia’s five-time defending Class 4 state volleyball champion, rolled into Warrenton last Thursday to face the Fauquier Falcons. Loudoun County eliminated the Falcons last fall in the region semifinals, but the Raider coaches were impressed by the Falcons’ skill and reached out to schedule a rare regular-season encounter, expecting to be tested again. They weren’t. Loudoun County revved its race car engine at the opening whistle and never eased off the gas pedal en route to a 25-10, 25-14, 25-12 thrashing of the hosts. “I literally thought this was going to be a dogfight today,” veteran Falcon coach Diana Story said afterward. “I think Loudoun County is a well-oiled machine. They know exactly what they are doing. That is a tribute to them, but it could have been a hell of a match tonight if we had shown up and played volleyball like we know how to play volleyball.” Inconsistent from the outset, the hosts could score a mere eight points in 31 turns at service, while Loudoun County ripped off four or more straight points on five occasions. The winners sprinted to an 8-1 lead to open the match and steadily increased the margin. The second set was tied 7-7 before Loudoun County assembled three runs of three to five points and pull away. In the third set, the Raiders led

4-3 before ending the night by recording 18 of the next 23 points to blow the contest open. “They run a good court and a fast court,” Story said of the state champions. “We’re a talented team too. We didn’t play our game tonight, not even close.” Fauquier and Loudoun County seem to meet in regional play almost every year, with the Raiders eliminating Fauquier each time. Story said that psychological advantage is potent, but she was hoping last fall’s good performance in Leesburg would bolster her troops. “For us, playing Loudoun County always has been ‘Oh God, we are playing Loudoun County.’ That being said we know we can play with them,” Story said. “We showed that last year.” Fauquier (0-2) also had dropped its season-opening match two days earlier in Purcellville versus a good Loudoun Valley unit. Story, however, was pleased with that effort. It was back to work Monday to prepare for Tuesday night’s battle at Class 6 Patriot. The Pioneers were expected to provide Fauquier with another difficult early-season test. The early season losses have Story talking about adjustments in practice. “Things are going to change on my end,” Story stressed. “We’re going back to basics,” she said in a matter of fact manner.

Town council agrees to sell health center building to Old Ox Brewery By Leonard Shapiro

Middleburg paves the way for a new brewery

Contributing Writer

The Middleburg Town Council unanimously approved the sale of its health center building to the owners of the Ashburn-based Old Ox Brewery at its regular monthly meeting Thursday night. The council voted to sell the building on South Madison Street for $750,000 to a family-owned business that plans to open an indoor beer pub on the ground floor and a beer garden outside in its courtyard. The target opening date is April 1, 2019. Jamie Gaucher, Middleburg’s director of business and economic development, said he’s been in discussions with Old Ox over the last 10 months to open a new facility in the town. Under terms of the sale, all of the current tenants of the building will be allowed to remain in their spaces, including a doctor’s office, a Pilates studio and a counseling center. “I think it’s going to be fantastic,” Gaucher said. “It’s going to fill a niche that we don’t have. The idea is to have

They’ll be making beer here and also serving beer from their main brewery in Ashburn. It’s a great fit.” Chris Burns, president of Old Ox, and his parents and co-owners, Graham and Mary Ann Burns, attended the council meeting. Chris Burns spoke briefly about the plans for the

building, described the Ashburn facility as a “community gathering place” and said the Middleburg operation will offer more of the same. “We’re very excited, just over the moon about this,” Chris Burns said. Thursday’s council meeting also included a public hearing to allow residents to weigh in on the sale. But when Mayor Bridge Littleton opened the floor for comment, no one in the audience chose to speak, pro or con. A mo-

tion to approve the sale of a building, which dates back to 1939, was made, seconded and quickly approved. The brew pub is not a restaurant and will only sell varieties of Old Ox beer. There will be some food choices, mainly light snacks like chips and salsa, cheese plates and charcuterie. Chris Burns said he and his staff are looking into the possibility of food trucks serving the pub, as they do in Ashburn. See BREWERY, page 14

Middleburg paves the way for a new brewery BREWERY, from page 13 Construction will begin almost immediately on phase 1 of the project, which is expected to take between 12 to 14 weeks. That will include renovations to a tasting room with a seating capacity of about 60 and a brick patio beer garden in the courtyard that will seat about 40. A private

event space and a game room for darts and shuffleboard are also planned. Phase 2 will include turning a now vacant fivebay garage behind the building into a small scale production area that is expected to produce 200 barrels, or about 6,200 gallons of beer per year. Chris Burns estimated an additional $600,000 in expenses to renovate the building and set up the brewery.

Gaucher, who once ran a brewery in Chantilly, said Old Ox makes perfect sense for Middleburg by adding a unique establishment that should attract locals and out-of-town visitors to the village. “When I look at the Loudoun ale trail, there’s a real hole in the south central part of the county,” he said. “We have wine here, we have cider, but we don’t have beer. It definitely fills a void. April 1 is the goal. I’d really like to have a beer there on St. Patrick’s Day.” Reach Len Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com

can have it done on your lunch break and return to work and carry on with your schedule…and the results are noticeable pretty quickly.” Kuhl said he was impressed with the facility itself. “This is really a model,” said Kuhl “They’ve done everything right here with the soothing colors, the private rooms, the warm ambiance…that’s what people are looking for.” “Business has been good,” said Jeanne Poss. “We’ve doubled the number of calls that we received since opening.” Prices vary for the different treatments but as one commented at the open house, “I guess it depends on what you’re willing to pay to look and feel better about yourself… what’s the price for that.”

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 farmers in the county.

On August 16, 2018, the planning commission recommended approval for a text amendment to the zoning ordinance that would RESTRICT us to bring in from off-site or from other farms the amount of manure and/or bio-solids needed to fertilize fields and/or 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 no longer needed to make a better more productive use of that area which up until now we had a byright 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 and require stormwater management plans and engineered erosion and sediment control plans. What is going to be next? How many rows of corn you can grow in one year? How many yards of sod you can harvest 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: Chairman of the Board, Christopher

4-H Cloverbuds will stress character, leadership and service By Vicky Moon

Contributing Writer

One of the many advantages of raising a family in rural Fauquier County – or anywhere else, for the matter – is the opportunity for children to learn the up-close-and-personal nature of nurturing farm animals. The experience can be joyous, tedious and occasionally even heartbreaking. And Laura Galante of Marshall is introducing the understanding of animals to children ages 5 to 8 as club leader of the Piedmont Farmers 4-H Cloverbud Club. The first meeting will be held on Sunday, Sept. 16, from 2-4 p.m. at the Marshall Community Center. Galante, 33, wants to share her own fond memories of life with farm animals not only with her own son 5-year-old son, Ottavio, but also with other “budding” farmers. After moving to Fairfax County from Chicago in 1989 and visiting the 4-H Fair at Frying Pan Park, Galante joined the 4-H Hoofers and Heifers club at age 9 while attending Waples Mill Elementary in Oakton. Galante completed four sheep projects over the years and went on to judge poultry, livestock and meat through high school at Robinson Secondary. The Fairfax 4-H leaders took members to a local Kroger grocery store before competitions to study the “cuts of meats, practicing our arguments for why certain steaks or chops were better than others.” She later served on the board of the Virginia 4-H Congress and the National 4-H Congress. After high school, she went in a different direction, studying foreign affairs and earning a law degree at Catholic University. She founded and now runs a cybersecurity consultancy firm

To this day, Galante said her best friends are children she met in her first 4-H club. “There’s nothing better than seeing kids become confident in their abili-

ties, that’s the genius of 4-H to me,” Galante said. “Whether it’s leading a goat or telling a judge about your chicken, we’ll give the kids a lot of opportunities to demonstrate the skills they learn through our projects.” The challenge for Galante will be keeping the youngsters involved and attentive. “It’s a great age because they’re so curious and excited,” she said. “We just have to channel the energy and keep activities short and engaging.” In this first year of the Cloverbuds, the goal is for each child to choose a breed of livestock, poultry, or horse and then present what they’ve learned at a county-wide public speaking contest. The 4-H is the largest youth organization in America and more than 100 years old. The Cloverbuds will focus on heritage breeds of livestock such as Old Glouchester Spot or the even rarer Red Wattle hogs. They’ll

Just because school is in session doesn’t mean you have to wait until next summer for vacation time to roll around. Some of the best deals are during the fall. With fewer crowds, cooler temperatures, and lower rates, it’s a fantastic time to travel. Think about enlisting the help of the grandparents or a trusted friend while you escape for a quick Thursday through Monday excursion. You can get away to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico, Jamaica, or a Caribbean island for a very reasonable rate. You could be snorkeling or just relaxing on the beach in no time! Want to stay more local? Virginia has it all! With more than 200 vine-

ALESIA HOUSE yards and wineries, outstanding hotels and bed and breakfast options, mountains, beaches, hiking, history, or just a beautiful drive through the fall foliage, your local weekend destination awaits. Prefer a fall train ride? Take a day and drive two hours to Romney, West Virginia, for a scenic train ride through the mountains. (I’m hosting a group heading there in October that you can join.)

Reserve a weekend and explore Williamsburg: Colonial Williamsburg, a zip line and Aerial Park, great shopping and restaurants, and even one of their best kept secrets, the Williamsburg Salt Spa. The Spa has a salt cave with 15 tons of therapeutic salt imported from Poland and the Himalayas which creates a unique micro-climate rich in minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, bromine, and iodine. This is the only facility of its kind on the East Coast, and people come from all over to visit it. If you enjoy the outdoors, visit Carvins Cove. This is part of a Natural Reserve tucked away in Roanoke County. This breathtaking lake has beautiful water and picturesque views. Rent a kayak for $5 a day, fish off the pier, or, for an even better scenic view, hike one of the many nearby trails.

Whether you are looking for that local getaway or you want more of an international excursion, now is a great time to plan and go for it. Also, this is the time of year I highly encourage you to start thinking about and booking spring break travel. Waiting until the last minute makes it so much harder to find what you’re looking for. Fauquier County’s spring break is April 15-19, and I have already booked several trips. Trust me, by April you will be ready to take that vacation! Don’t hesitate – get out, explore, relax, do something different, and enjoy life. It’s time to plan your next adventure!

Three Blacksmiths forge new tradition Sperryville restaurant draws on legacy of historic village

THE FAUQUIER COUNTY LIBRARY PAGE The latest news from and about the Fauquier County public library

Page 25

By John Hagarty

Contributing Writer

More than 100 years ago the picturesque, sleepy village of Sperryville lay in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains, much as it does today. But another similarity between now and then is the population. It’s only increased from 300 to some 350 inhabitants. Growth is not a Rappahannock County attribute; traditional life holds sway here. Originally, the town supported five general stores, six mills, an apple packing plant, saloon, barbershop, pharmacy and... three blacksmiths. When change comes, the emphasis is often on building upon the past while looking to the future. The newest vision of that philosophy is located at 20 Main St. Welcome to the Three Blacksmiths. Step inside and let the hospitality of yesteryear embrace you in a warm and comforting dining experience. The force behind the restaurant is John and Diane MacPherson. The energetic and attractive couple are not interlopers from distant parts. Rather, they’re an established team with a reputation for hospitality and food earned while operating the Foster Harris House bed and breakfast for 13 years in Little Washington. What drove the couple to transition from innkeepers to restaurateurs? Evolution. “We had a good business from our five guestrooms and popular cycling tours. For the last three years we were also serving dinner to overnight guests and locals,” said John MacPherson. Then the phone rang. A Northern Virginia real estate broker inquired if the inn was for sale. “Well, no, not really. But at the end of the day, everything is for sale.” The broker mentioned a princely sum if the business was ever placed on the market. Later that morning the MacPhersons took a bike ride and talked about selling and what they might do if they left the inn behind. Opening a restaurant was high up on their list. And while they never again heard from the broker, the single phone call set in motion the next chapter of their lives. “We watered and fertilized and watered and fertilized and thought about it until we could not go back after receiving that phone call,” said John MacPherson. After the inn was sold there was a gap in time before the couple embarked on their new venture. “We had been to Europe in the past and really loved the way the restaurants operated there. The experience was magical. They didn’t have to talk

Ethan Taylor, John MacPherson and Diane MacPherson are the ‘three blacksmiths’ of Sperryville. about farm-to-table. They didn’t have to talk about food and wine. Everything was just normal for them. “We realized we needed to go back and see what we loved about those places and incorporate it into our restaurant,” said Diane MacPherson. A six week “research trip” was undertaken to England, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Italy and other countries. The vision crystallized.

Dream to reality

Back stateside, the building they purchased was a blank palette ready for a total make over. The MacPhersons, along with their sous chef Ethan Taylor – the three blacksmiths – began a buildout of the restaurant. No contractor was employed. An architect helped conceptualize the exterior design of the building. The interior was to be an elegant setting of soft wood hues showcasing an open hearth so diners could see the chefs as they crafted each evening’s dinner. “Diane, Ethan, my mom, sister and I renovated the entire interior. We worked on every surface, including the cooking line, all the electrical, and the bathrooms. The only thing we didn’t build were the tables, chairs and cooking equipment,” said John MacPherson. On June 9, the first dinner was served to 16 guests. And lest that seem like a modest size crowd for opening night, consider the restaurant only seats 16. The MacPhersons wanted an intimate setting that reflected in-home dining with personalized service, from the welcoming flute of sparkling wine to dessert. Much of the food and libations are procured from local farms, breweries, wineries and a distillery. Moreover, there is only one 7 p.m. seating each Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Dedication to providing a

unique one-of-a-kind experience dictated a limited service of just three days a week. Each evening, diners have the entire restaurant to themselves. “We have a small staff and we wanted a manageable amount of work so we could be involved personally with every meal. The only way you can do that is by keeping it small and intimate. There are no plans for expanding in the future. What we have today is what we’ll have in five years,” said Diane MacPherson. The pricing and payment for the dinners is also unique. The multicourse tasting menu is $99 per person plus a $70 alcohol charge; gratuity and tax not included. Both reservations and payment are made online. A $50 deposit is levied when reservations are made. On the morning of the dinner, the remaining bill is charged to the guest’s credit card. “When guests arrive they just sit down, enjoy their meal and leave when they’re finished. There’s no business transactions during dinner,” said John MacPherson. And how popular is the new restaurant? Since the opening, every dining night has been booked. The pace of business has matched demand. Initially, much of the business was generated from their legion of former B&B fans and locals. Today, nearby wineries and inns are recommending the restaurant to their guests. “The percentage of outside guests is growing and the business is stabilizing. It was a matter of getting the word out,” said John MacPherson.

Heeding his nonna’s advice at Grioli’s

Vince Vitale prides Grioli’s on its authentic Italian specialties, homemade pasta classics, fresh antipasto and, of course, their famous pizza.

By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

Eat well, eat Italian. Or, as Vince Vitale’s Nonna G. used to say, che mangia bene, mangia Italiano.” Heralding from a Sicilian family with deep roots in the restaurant business going back some five decades, Vitale grew up hearing and listening to his grandmother, Nonna G., and her advice to eat well and eat Italian. His father immigrated from Sicily and opened his first shop in 1969. Vitale has called Fauquier County home since 2007. In October of that year, he opened Grioli’s Italian Grill and Pizzeria in Bealeton. Since then, the restaurant has garnered a reputation for offering great food using fresh ingredients coupled with great service. With more than 10 years under his belt, Vitale is keen on continuing that legacy of presenting good food at a reasonable price particularly so that families can dine out more often together. Expect to find homemade mozzarella cheese, freshly baked bread, all sauces made from scratch and homemade tiramisu at this Italian restau-

FAUQUIER FOCUS rant, which aims to set itself apart from other independent restaurants and national chains with its authentic Italian cuisine. With thunderstorms threatening and rain falling heavily at times, all was cozy in the gym at Fauquier High School when the annual Relay for Life event was held there in June. A familiar face to many, Vitale was set up in one corner offering large slices of pizza for those taking a break from the all-night walk. Sheriff Bob Mosier had stopped by and was making the rounds talking with the various teams and organizers. However, he couldn’t pass by Vitale’s stand without taking time to visit as he munched on a piece

of pizza. “Good, always good,” he said, obviously familiar with Vitale’s brand of Italian fare. Connecting with the community is a big part of how Vitale operates helping with fundraisers and other organizations as he is able. Another partnership that he made was last year, 2017, when he teamed up with Molon Lave Vineyards and Winery in Warrenton to offer two wines. The red blend, named after his grandfather and son, Peppe Giuliano, pictures his mother’s hometown on the label. The white blend is named after his daughters, Grace Isabelle. “We introduced our private label reserve wines…and they have been received well,” said Vitale of the unique blends he can offer his customers.

Trivia nights at Grioli’s and wine and food pairings keep things lively and entertaining. The restaurant is also available to book for private events like birthday or anniversary celebrations. Vitale is a family man and when he isn’t running his restaurant he enjoys spending time with them….and, his other love, golf. “I’m married to my best friend Julia for eight years and blessed with three beautiful children, Alaina (7), Julian (5) and Victoria (2),” says Vitale who treats his customers like good neighbors. “I enjoy interacting with our patrons, they are an extension of our family and we love them,” says Vitale who credits his staff for the rave reviews online when it comes to the service ingredient. “I enjoy watching my employees grow and eventually move into career positions and be great citizens. If you like Italian and haven’t had a chance to dine at Grioli’s, you’ve got a couple of days to take advantage of his latest special. Half price off an appetizer with purchase of dinner if you dine in. Offer expires this Friday, Aug. 31. Grioli’s is located at 11085 Marsh Road in Bealeton.

#TagToBeGreat: The Boys and Girls Club of Fauquier is trying something new It’s fun. It’s interactive. And it’s a fundraiser that the Boys and Girls Club of Fauquier developed to support the club using the micro-philanthropy approach of asking for small donations from lots of people. #TagToBeGreat challenge started with the

club kids going around the community and inspiring people with the Boys & Girls Club mission “to be great.” Think back to the ice bucket challenge, which raised $115 million over a single summer by reaching people through a fun and somewhat absurd

campaign and challenging them to support ALS research. With this in mind, the campaign goal will be to raise $18,000 by reaching out to the citizens of Fauquier County, exclusively through social media and inspiring each other to give

through the club’s fundraiser page. Already, by sharing a few videos of the club kids “tagging” people around the community, the club has raised more than $1,200 with this simple challenge. Those who have been tagged were generous in donating to the club and accepted the challenge to tag others with the hash tag “tag to be great.” The goal could be met through a number of different donation scenarios. For instance, if 10 people each reached out to 10 people to donate and each person donates $10, and those people in turn each reach out to 10 people, that’s already $10,000! This is easily achievable by challenging friends, family and coworkers to share a compelling, easy-to-do, viral campaign that touches the hearts of the community—and gives them a chance to have a little fun while supporting a great cause. “Help us continue to provide a safe place for our kids to learn, grow and play. Together with this campaign #TagToBeGreat, we can help Fauquier County’s kids develop healthy lifestyles that lead to better character and leadership skills and achieve career and academic success,” said Club Director Lynne Richman Bell adding, “great futures begin at the Boys & Girls Club of Fauquier, but we can’t do it alone. We need your help to make brighter futures for the kids that need us most. #TagToBeGreat” Tagging can be done through text, email, Facebook or other social media outlets. Club sites are located in Warrenton, Bealeton and Marshall. For more information, contact Lynne Richman Bell at lynne@bgcfauquier.org

OUR COMMUNITIES

More volunteers needed for Goldvein Jubilee The community suffered a great loss last week. Brandon Schoenwetter, from Midland, died peacefully in his sleep while on a visit home to his parents. He was an Army veteran who served in the Middle East for three tours. He received many medals for his service to our country including the Global War on Terrorism Medal. He was a son to Chip and Julie, a brother to Joey, Heather and Chelsea and a beloved uncle to Dayton, Abigail, Gweni and Noah. Brandon grew up with my sons and I will always remember his smiling face and his helpful demeanor. He will be missed by many and our thoughts and prayers go out for his family and friends. Rest in peace, Brandon! This Friday, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will be having its monthly spaghetti dinner. Come out and enjoy spaghetti, salad, desserts and more from 5-8 p.m. at the Parish Hall. The dinner is free, but donations are welcome! The Sumerduck Ruritan Club will hold Senior Bingo on Monday, Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. until noon.

Fauquier Times | August 29, 2018

Calendar:

August 29 – September 4

“National Chef Appreciation Week” is held each August; here are some of my favorite chef-related titles guaranteed to entice your taste buds.

Books for adults

“Kitchen Confidential” is probably Anthony Bourdain’s most famous title, however, “A Cook’s Tour: In Search of a Perfect Meal” is equally fascinating. Bourdain was well-known for his deep appreciation and respect for international cultures and cuisines, which is memorably explored in this unique read. If you love reading about food from international cultures, you’ll also want to pick up “Life From Scratch: A Memoir of Food, Family, and Forgiveness” by Sasha Martin. Her experiment of cooking a meal from all 195 countries (at the time of publication) is intriguing, but her recollections of a rough and unstable childhood are heartbreaking and moving. Food science books are perennially popular. “On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen” by Harold McGee contains everything you’d ever want to know about the evolution of dairy animals (including the structure of ice cream, buttermilk, etc.), rice cooking techniques and customs, the different types of syrup production, and much more. If this is a bit intimidating, try “The Science of Good Cooking” from America’s Test Kitchen (or anything from America’s Test Kitchen,

as their books/magazines will go into the how’s and why’s of their recipes). I love all types of presidential history. Adrian Miller’s “The President’s Kitchen Cabinet: The Story of the African Americans Who Have Fed Our First Families, From the Washingtons to the Obamas” is a revealing look at the African-American chefs, butlers and servers who have worked for presidential families since the first days of the republic.

Books for children

Even if you’re not into culinary history, you’re probably familiar with Julia Child, who popularized French cuisine to American audiences. Child’s remarkable life is worth exploring: “Bon Appetit! The Delicious Life of Julia Child” by Jessie Hartland is a delightful picture book, while Erin Hagar’s “Julia Child: An Extraordinary Life in Words and Picture” (in graphic novel style) is a great read for older readers. Adults wanting an in-depth read should check out Bob Spitz’s “Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child.” Want to add some local flavor to your culinary reads? For an engaging picture book biography, check out “Bring Me Some Apples and I’ll Make You a Pie: A Story About Edna Lewis” by Robbin Gourley about Edna Lewis, the granddaughter of enslaved African-Americans and author of one of the classics of Southern cookbooks, “The Taste of Southern Cooking.”

Roy Choi’s passion for “food that isn’t fancy” and bringing the food traditions of his native Korea to the “man on the street” is celebrated in this picture book biography of one of the first modern food truck pioneers. “Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix” by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and June Jo Lee is a picture book biography that is far from ordinary. Chinese restaurants are not considered exotic by the vast majority of Americans, but it was a different story in the late 1950s-1960s. Carrie Clickard captures Joyce Chen’s escape from China during the Communist takeover, the establishment of her first restaurant, and the creation of her cookbooks and PBS cooking show admirably in “Dumpling Dreams: How Joyce Chen Brought the Dumpling From Beijing to Cambridge.” Lastly, anyone looking for an entertaining read should try the “Next Best Junior Chef” trilogy by Charise Mericle Harper. Each article features cooking tips and techniques and the idea of kids on a cooking reality show contest never fails to catch the attention of both kids and parents! Jennifer Schultz’s blog Kiddosphere, is a wealth of reading recommendations and reviews of books for readers of all ages, especially children. Kiddosphere is published weekly at fauquierlibrary.org. – Jennifer Schultz, Collection Services Development Librarian, Fauquier County Public Library
