Police: Brother admits to drowning sister By Karen Chaffraix and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers
The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office was called six times over the past year to the home of Angie A. Walls, the 53-year-old woman authorities say was intentionally drowned in an inflatable backyard swimming pool over the Labor Day weekend at the hands of her 51-year-old brother, who family members say suffers from a mental illness. The six calls, all made since September 2017, included reports of at least two “domestic situations,” according to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman.
Still, no arrests were made as a result of the previous calls for help because deputies found no criminal wrongdoing, Hartman said. In Virginia, law-enforcement agents must make an arrest in cases of domestic violence where there is evidence of a physical assault and a clear assailant. But that wasn’t the case when deputies previously responded to the home in the 6700 block of Riley Road, where Walls lived with her brother, Ashton Dunlap Berry, known to family and friends by the nickname “Leon,” and her fiancé, Fred Dove. “The two domestics were verbal in nature. There was no physical assault,” Hartman said.
As a result, the deputies offered the residents only advice about how to deal with their situation, Hartman said.
Police: Brother confessed to drowning
The situation turned deadly Saturday, Sept. 1, when Berry, 51, allegedly held Walls’ head under water in the inflatable backyard pool two times after the two got into an argument over Berry’s medication, according to affidavit attached to a search warrant filed in the Fauquier County Circuit Court.

Fauquier County schools passing rates on Virginia’s Standard of Learning tests dipped in three of five subjects tested in 2018, but Superintendent David Jeck said school division officials are mostly satisfied with the results, calling test scores “only one piece of the puzzle” when it comes to student achievement. “The raw scores don’t mean all that much,” Jeck said Thursday. “We have calculated the final scores as we expect them to come in (later this month), and we’re happy with them.”

Fauquier schools’ scores dip on latest state tests SCORES from page 1 “We feel like if you are building relationships with the kids, and you are teaching innovatively, and you are incorporating some project-based learning, then the scores will take care of themselves,” Jeck added. “The good scores will come.” On tests students took at the end of last school year, Fauquier County students scored an 80-percent passing rate in reading and a 79-percent passing rate in writing, scores that remained unchanged since 2017. Passing rates dipped three points in mathematics, with 75 percent of students passing math tests compared to 78 percent in 2017. Fauquier students’ passing rate on science tests also came in three points lower this year, 82 percent of students passed those tests in 2018 compared to 85 percent in 2017. The 2018 scores won’t spur any particular curriculum changes, although Jeck said the school division has added several new skills-oriented courses, facilities and programs over the year. However, when scores indicated an achievement gap in early education at one point, intervention programs were added, he said. “We have placed so much emphasis on test scores, and some people think they are the most important way to judge a school, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle, amongst many pieces, and there are more authentic ways to measure learning,” he said. In general, Fauquier County schools avoid “teaching to the test” but are careful to cover all the concepts that are tested at each grade level and adapt when the tests change, Jeck said. “We want to avoid trying to teach to the test, but it’s kind of tricky because when the state changes the test significantly, then you don’t have a choice; you have to prepare for those differences,” he said. “More and more as a country, we are moving away from this stan-

Scores dip across the state
Across Virginia, passing rates were down slightly in all five subjects tested: reading, writing, math, science and history and social studies, according to the VDOE report. James Lane, Virginia superintendent of public instruction, said the state’s tests have become more rigorous over the years. “Virginia has challenging standards and assessments, and students are performing at a much high-

er level today than when the state raised expectations six years ago,” Lane said in a press release. The scores of students who transferred into schools during the middle of the year were also counted in 2018, which was a change from years past. Last year, if a transfer student failed a test, that score was excluded from the aggregate score. This year, all scores were included, thereby possibly lowering scores across all subjects, according to the VDOE website. The commonwealth uses SOL results to identify schools that need assistance, to assess progress over time and to determine levels of accreditation. Overall, Fauquier County schools’ passing rates exceeded the performance of schools statewide in writing, history and science, according to reports issued by the Virginia Department of Education. Among larger school divisions in Northern Virginia, Loudoun County schools posted the highest passing rates, with 91 percent of students passing history and social sciences tests; 89 passing writing tests; 86 percent passing reading tests and 83 percent passing math tests. Arlington County was next with passing rates of 86 percent in writing, history and social sciences; 84 percent in reading and science; and 83 percent in math. Fairfax County ranked third, posting an 88 percent passing rate in history and social sciences; 85 percent passing rate in writing; 84 percent in science; 81 percent passing rate in reading; and 81 percent passing rate on math tests. Prince William County schools posted passing rates of 87 in history and social sciences; 82 percent in science tests, 80 percent in writing, 79 percent in reading; and 76 percent in mathematics. More information about the current SOL testing results can be found on the VDOE website, which includes spreadsheets detailing scores for all Virginia public school divisions.

Marshall’s Main Street improvements focus of Sept. 11 meeting
TIMES FILE PHOTO Farmers hit by retaliatory tariffs can now apply for a share of the Trump administraition’s $12 billion relief package.
Help on the way for farmers hit by tariffs Applications for federal aid will accepted this week
By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Applications for a share of the $12 billion available to farmers hurt by the trade dispute between the U.S. and foreign nations can be submitted as of Sept. 4. The Trump administration raised tariffs on foreign trading partners several months ago, prompting retaliatory action that hit U.S. soybean and hog producers, among others, hard. The Trump administration authorized the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide up to $12 billion to U.S. farmers to ease the pain. There are 2,755 farmers in Fauquier County, according to Charles Bennett, county executive director for USDA covering Fauquier, Prince William, Loudoun and Fairfax counties. Just how many local farmers are eligible to apply for the new aid isn’t known, Bennett said. The process for applying for aid was still being worked out as of Friday. A USDA press release said that
starting Sept. 4 applications can be submitted online at www.farmers. gov/mfp. They can also be field in person, by email, fax, or by mail. The aid will be dispersed through three programs: The Market Facilitation Program will provide payments to corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean and wheat producers. The Food Purchase and Distribution Program will purchase up to $1.2 billion in commodities for distribution to the Emergency Food Assistance program and the child nutrition programs. The Foreign Agricultural Service’s Agricultural Trade Promotion Program will get $200 million to develop foreign markets for U.S. agricultural products. The Virginia Farm Bureau reports that when Mexico retaliated against U.S. steel imports this summer, it “squashed” a rebound for American dairy prices. “In today’s dairy economy, exports are critical,” said Tony Banks, a commodity marketing specialist for the Virginia bureau, in a news release. “Each of the past few sig-
nificant declines in U.S. farm milk prices have been the result of a disruption in dairy exports.” Dairy exports hit a record in 2014. The following year, the U.S. dollar gained value on the world market, making American dairy exports more expensive and pushing down sales. In June, Mexico imposed a 15-percent tariff on fresh cheese and grated, shredded or powdered cheeses, as well as a 10 percent tariff on hard and semi-hard cheeses from the U.S. Those tariffs rose to 25 percent for the first category and 20 percent for the second category by July 5. Dairy farmers have also been hurt by a decade-long decline in milk consumption in the U.S. Zippy Duvall, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, says the federal aid will provide “welcome relief” to farmers but it will be temporary. What would really help, he said, is a solution crafted at the negotiating table with foreign countries. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
The community is invited to an upcoming presentation about Marshall’s Main Street improvement project, hosted by the Marshall Business & Residents Association on Tuesday, Sept. 11. The meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Marshall Community Center Auditorium, 4133-A Rectortown Road. Design plans for Main Street improvements will be part of the presentation. Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel and representatives from Land Planning and Design Associates will attend. The estimated $4.5 million project includes paving and pavement markings, signs, streetlights, curb and gutter work and storm-drainage improvements. The project is expected to go out for bid in November.
Sheriff to hold Marshall town hall meeting Thursday Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier will hold a town hall meeting at the Marshall Community Center Thursday, Sept. 6. Mosier (R) holds regular town hall meetings at locations across the county. This week’s meeting will be held Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Marshall Sheriff Bob Community Center, Mosier 4133-A Rectortown Road, in Marshall. Topics of discussion usually include local traffic issues, investigation updates, crime-prevention tips and whatever else attendees ask Mosier about during the question-and-answer period, said sheriff’s office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman. The meeting is open to the public.

Traffic congestion, safety top concerns of U.S. 29 advisory group By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Finding solutions to improve both safety and traffic flow on U.S. 29 that people agree on “is going to be a hard one,” in the words of the chief engineer for the Virginia Department of Transportation. But it’s a task Garrett Moore and members of an advisory group of residents, business people and others with a stake in the process has set out to do. The nine-member Route 29/New Baltimore Advisory Group will get into the nitty gritty of its work at its second meeting Sept. 27, which will be followed by perhaps two or three more meetings. Some ground work was laid for the work ahead during an initial meeting, Thursday, Aug. 30. About 20 people were in the audience at the Warren-Green building in Warrenton, including Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo, who represents the New Baltimore area, and Fauquier County Transportation Planner Marie Pham. This reboot of the VDOT planning process resulted from a request by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors to take another look at plans to improve four intersections on U.S. 29 from Warrenton to the Prince William County line. Proposals to create a restricted

The proposal would have eliminated left turns in favor of incorporating U-turns in an arrangement featuring what are sometimes called “Michigan lefts.”

Access is one issue the group will keep in mind in its discussions. Safety tops the list followed by throughput — local and through traffic, access and convenience, economic development, impact on home and property values, as well as the environment and historic assets. “I thought we’d drill down on interests and then drill down on what we can do to meet them. What’s the upside, downside and sort it out,” Moore said. “If we disagree, that’s healthy. Let’s acknowledge those things and try to work together.” Moore said he didn’t come to the meeting with possible options in mind. “I’m going to try to avoid that. There are different interests, and there is a wider board that we have to justify what we do,” Moore said. The Virginia Commonwealth Transportation Board, a statewide panel appointed by the governor, ultimately decides which transportation projects win state funding based on VDOT formulas for traffic congestion and safety. A solution needs to be found for traffic congestion and accidents on U.S. 29, a “corridor of statewide significance,” as designated by the CTB. “It will continue to increase in traffic. If we don’t do something it will take control of itself rather than us taking control of it,” Moore said. Whatever solution is proposed should last at least 15 years, he said. Previous studies on the U.S. 29 corridor are on the VDOT website. Crash data, traffic volume counts and comments received by VDOT at earlier community meetings can be found there as well. At the suggestion of advisory group member Peter Eltringham,
TIMES STAFF PHOTO/JAMES IVANCIC a copy of the county’s comprehensive plan and the plan for the New Baltimore Service District will be added to the documents being consulted. Tim Hoffman, president of the Vint Hill Homeowners Association, suggested the group’s study not be limited to U.S. 29 but include the roads that link to it. Hoffman said he avoids U.S. 29 as much as possible, taking back roads instead. The group talked about looking at data on turning movements and crashes and incorporating that into its work. Advisory group member Ike Broaddus raised the issue of reducing the speed limit to 45 mph. Moore said that is an issue that couldn’t be decided by a consensus of the group. A traffic study would have to be done. “I’m not ready to say at this point whether it should be 45, 50 or 60,” Moore said. “I’ve seen it go awry if it’s set artificially too high or low.” Eltringham said the way the road is engineered has more to do with how fast the traffic moves rather than what a sign says.

Federal commission blocks tariffs on Canadian newsprint By Staff Reports In a victory for the U.S. newspaper industry, the U.S. International Trade Commission unanimously voted to terminate tariffs placed on imports from Canadian paper mills, ruling paper imports don’t injure U.S. producers. “We applaud the International Trade Commission for today reaching a final, unanimous negative determination that Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper, which includes newsprint used by newspapers, do not cause material harm to the U.S. paper industry,” David Chavern, President and CEO of the News Media Alliance said in a press release. “The Department of Commerce recently upheld the tariffs and, though they revised them to slightly lower levels (but still as high as 20 percent), the tariffs would have been unsustainable for newspapers, other printers and publishers and printers.” The Commerce Department had imposed the tariff in response to a complaint from a paper producer in Washington state, owned by a New York-based hedge fund, that Canadian mills were taking advantage of government subsidies to undercut the market and sell at unfair prices. U.S. trade law requires proof of financial injury, in addition to undercutting U.S. producers, for imports to be deemed improper.
Canada is the biggest producer of newsprint for the U.S. newspaper industry. The associated rising cost of newsprint, often combined with dwindling advertising revenues and declining readership, forced many newspapers to decrease page counts and lay off employees in response. Particularly hard hit were smaller community newspapers unable to absorb the cost increases. More than a dozen U.S. mills have stopped making newsprint in the last decade because demand for paper declined, and U.S. paper mills would not have been able to make up the shortfall the newspaper industry needed, according to a recent editorial by the National Newspaper Association. This newspaper, among others in the industry, had taken an active role in asking Congress to curb the tariffs, including lobbying on Capitol Hill. The effort had received bipartisan support. According to Stop Tariffs on Printers & Publishers, the tariffs would have negatively impacted 600,000 American jobs in the newspaper, retail, printing and publishing industries. More than 11,000 people had signed a petition in opposition to the tariff, and an estimated 150 Members of Congress had joined the effort, according to the organization. Earlier this month, the Commerce Department had moved to lower many of the duties.

Micron Technology announces $3 billion expansion in Manassas Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) joined a ceremonial ground-breaking ceremony at Micron Technology’s Manassas site Wednesday, Aug. 29.
New semiconductor plant said to add 1,100 jobs by 2030 By Jill Palermo Staff Writer
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam stopped in Manassas Wednesday to announce a $3 billion expansion of Micron Technology’s Manassas semiconductor plant, a project that is expected to add 1,100 new jobs by 2030. Micron, a high-tech fixture in the City of Manassas since 2002, was said to be considering sites as far away as Singapore for its new facility, which Northam (D) said marks the largest manufacturing investment in the modern history of the commonwealth. As part of the expansion, Micron Technology, one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, will establish a global research and development center in Manassas for “memory and storage solutions.” The company’s products are focused on the automotive, industrial and networking markets, according to a press release issued in conjunction with the Aug. 29 event. The center will include laboratories, test equipment and approximately 100 product engineers focused on applications such as unmanned and autonomous automotive systems, the “Internet of Things” and other industrial and networking applications, the press release said. Construction will begin immediately on the new facility, which is expected to be up and running by sometime in early 2020, said Micron’s President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. In his remarks, Mehrotra called the Manassas plant “the world’s leading site for automotive and industrialized semiconductor memory products.” Mehrotra noted that when the Manassas facility first opened in 2002, most of Micron’s products were used in personal computers. Now, he said, they are employed in a variety of applications with a focus on the automotive industry, which increasingly uses sensors and memory-storage
products for driver-assistance technologies. Today, two of every three vehicles include such Micron-made products, Mehrotra said. “From the smartphone in your pocket, to massive data centers, to the smart speakers and connected devices in our home. In fact, every facet of our lives, including transportation, health care and entertainment are now employing advanced computer technologies because of the truly remarkable benefits they provide,” he said. Micron is slated to receive a $70 million state grant for site preparation and facility costs for the new facility, which must be approved by the Virginia General Assembly during its 2019 session. Northam, who was accompanied at the announcement by City of Manassas Mayor Hal Parrish (R), state Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, state Del. Tim Hugo, R-40th, and other dignitaries, said Micron will add $1 billion to the value of Virginia’s exports when the expansion is complete. The governor also noted the impact of Micron on Virginia’s existing technology sector. “Talent attracts talent. The best research talent in the world wants to be near other talent, and we want that to be right here in Virginia. We’re proud that Micron will continue to benefit from the commonwealth’s unparalleled technology workforce, esteemed universities and world-class research and development by growing its presence here,” Northam said. “This project will significantly contribute to Virginia’s booming technology center with high-paying, quality jobs and robust anticipated growth.” Micron Technologies already contributes about $4.7 million in tax revenue annually to the City of Manassas. That amount is expected to grow as the expansion moves forward, Parrish said in an interview after the announcement. Parrish said Micron’s expansion is similar in scale to the city landing a major IBM facili-
CITY OF MANASSAS
ty in the 1960s, which was followed by other big names, including Lockheed Martin. Parrish said the same elements that attracted those earlier players to the City of Manassas also played a role in Micron’s decision, including the city’s proximity to Washington, D.C., the Manassas Regional Airport and the city’s ample water supply via Lake Manassas. Parrish also credited the city’s competitive tax rate on semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which at about 66 cents per $100 in assessed value is a fraction of the city’s rate for regular manufacturing property, taxed at $2.10 per $100 in assessed value. General business personal property, such as furniture and fixtures, is taxed at a rate of $3.60 per $100 in assessed value. Like Prince William County, the City of Manassas also charges commercial entities just $1.25 per $100 in assessed value on computer equipment, a reduced rate that is thought to make the area attractive to data centers and other technology-focused entities. “They literally could have made the decision to go anywhere, and they were talking to Singapore,” Parrish said of Micron. “So the significance of making this $3 billion announcement today, is that … their presence in Manassas and Northern Virginia, and indeed, the United States, will remain — because it could have gone away.” Micron, based in Boise, Idaho, also committed to contribute $1 million “over and above our typical giving” to accelerate the company’s investment in STEM education, Mehrotra said. Mehrotra said the money would be focused on attracting more women and members of minority communities to the engineering and technical fields. The company, he said, already employs team members of more than 55 nationalities at its Manassas site. “We have found that a diversity of voices is key to creating breakthrough innovation,” Mehrotra said.

Newspapers catch a break on tariffs — for now The newspaper industry received a reprieve last week as the U.S. International Trade Commission unanimously voted to terminate tariffs placed on imports from Canadian paper mills.

The associated rising cost of newsprint, combined with dwindling advertising revenues and declining readership, has forced many newspapers to decrease page counts and lay off employees in response. Earlier this year, the Tampa Bay Times was forced to cut 50 positions, and just last week the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announced it was decreasing its publication schedule to five days from seven, making OUR VIEW Pittsburgh the largest city without a daily newspaper in the country. Particularly hard hit were smaller community newspapers unable to absorb the cost increases. This newspaper has not been immune to those challenges. Our publisher joined with others in the industry to lobby Congress to curb the tariffs, an effort that has received bipartisan support. Earlier this month, the Commerce Department had moved to lower many of the duties but faced with newsprint costs that rose as much as 30 percent, the industry was in a precarious position. Fortunately, U.S. trade law requires proof of financial injury, not simply undercutting U.S. producers, for imports to be deemed improper. The mill behind the complaint may still appeal the decision, but it is unlikely it would be overturned given the unanimous vote of the ITC. This is good news, and the decision removes an undue burden on an industry already facing challenges to its existing business model and in how its audience consumes news.
A life spent in service This week, Navy veteran, former prisoner of war and longtime Arizona Sen. John McCain was laid to rest in Annapolis, Maryland. He went into the family business: The U.S. Navy. When shot down and taken prisoner in Vietnam, given the option of being released because of his family name, he chose to remain. And after returning home and his retirement from the Navy, he continued to serve his country and a congressman and senator, twice running for president. In politics, as in life, he walked an independent path. Throughout his Washington career, he was known as the servicemember’s politician. In death, he brought people together from both sides of the aisle. He was not a perfect man, many can take issues with his votes and policies. But regardless of where one might come down on McCain politically, it cannot be denied the majority of his life was spent in service to his country. That’s an enviable way to be remembered.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES 75 Years Ago Sept. 9, 1943 “Chicken City,” principal one of the new poultry enterprise at North Wales, has contracted to produce about 126,000-day-old chicks next year, according to E.H. Wine, manager, and “Pigeon City” is on the way to producing 12,000 squabs in the same period. Mrs. Laurens M. Hamilton of Byrnley Farm, The Plains, today announces the engagement of her daughter, Miss Anne Childs Shaffer, to James William Noland Jr. of Warrenton, an aviation cadet in the Army Air Forces. Miss Shaffer is the granddaughter of former Congressman Percy Hamilton Stewart of Plainfield, N.J. Her brother, Wallace Shaffer is now in the Caribbean area with the Army Air Forces. Sgt. T. M. Brown, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Brown of Calverton and a native of Fauquier County, was killed in action over enemy territory on July 25. Sadly, his parents had been informed earlier that he had survived and returned to duty. 50 Years Ago Sept. 5, 1968 Judge Rayner V. Snead on Sept. 3 appointed attorney William Walter Carson Jr. Fauquier County Judge. Judge Carson, 53, succeeds the late Richard H. Marriott, Trial Justice and County Judge for 25 years, who died at his Warrenton home on Aug. 29. Judge Carson came to Warrenton in 1965 to join attorney Upton Richards in the law firm of Richards and Richards. After flying 100 combat missions over the southern panhandle of North Vietnam, and 110 missions supporting ground forces in South Vietnam, 1st Lt. Winston O. Huffman, USAF, of Marshall has come home. During his ninemonth combat tour, Lt. Huffman flew f-4
During the summer of 1961, college student John Bloch, 22, of Markham, operated the Tastee-Freez ice cream truck on the streets of Warrenton. His presence was heralded by a jingling bell, which drew young customers, including Paulette Carter, 6, and Marian Yates, 3. Phantoms with the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron, based at Da Nang. 25 Years Ago Sept. 8, 1993 The Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to replace the roof at the historically and environmentally significant Number 18 School House in Marshall. Sponsored by the Marshall Businessmen and Residents Association, Master Gardeners and Keep Fauquier clean, he fund-raising efforts are known as Project 18. According to County Recycling Coordinator Paddy Katzen, volunteers have given more than $17,000 worth of time and goods for the project. The Warrenton Horse Show continued its long tradition of attracting some of the best competitors in the region during its five full days of classes Sept. 1-5.

Denver Riggleman for Congress
Veteran has had enough Enough. I am a veteran and graduate of West Point. I served 14 years in the Army, almost 9 of those years overseas. Like many in the military, and many veterans, I’ve mostly considered myself an independent. I have voted for Republican, Democrat, and independent candidates over the past 42 years. No longer. I’m now saying, enough, it’s time to take a stand. I will be voting as a Democrat this year and urge you to join me in supporting Leslie Cockburn for Congress in the 5th District and Tim Kaine for Senate. Our president has denigrated genuine military heroes, such as Sen. McCain. He has dismissed our NATO allies and embraced other countries and leaders (Russia and Putin) that wish us no good. Recently, the president has “joked” about the patriotism of our soldiers. To quote: “we are proudly giving our troops the biggest pay increase in a decade. And I know you don’t want it because you’re very patriotic. You’ll say, just save the money... Does anybody not want it?... Are these real patriots? I don’t know, General... if our soldiers were real patriots, they would not accept their new pay raise.” I guess it’s pretty funny to joke about a pay raise for our soldiers, when we have many soldiers and their families on food stamps because they don’t make enough money. Not only did he “joke” about the soldiers’ patriotism, he also lied about the raise being the largest in a decade. In fact, there have been two pay raises in the past 10 years that are larger than the 2.6 percent this year. At the Senate level, Mr. Stewart’s courting of extremists is frightening to me as a Virginian. Stewart has
shown that he will lie and misrepresent the truth repeatedly. Taking a page from Mr. Trump, he disparages and belittles those in his way. He did this in his campaign against Republican Ed Gillespie for governor last year, and against Nick Freitas in the Republican nominating contest for Senate this year. In the 5th Congressional campaign, we seem to have the strangest Republican candidate of all, and he was a last-minute selection by the Republican Party. Personally, I’m tired of joke candidates. I’m tired of lies and misrepresentation. I’m tired of our politicians standing with extremists and then saying it wasn’t what they really meant. I’m tired of many of our current Republicans talking out of both sides of their mouths about veterans and veterans’ affairs. The United States needs a strong and serious Republican Party. Unfortunately, we don’t have that right now. Leslie Cockburn is just the opposite of this. She speaks the truth. She listens to what people are saying, including veterans in our communities. She understands the complexities of the world we live in. She honors our military and our veterans. Leslie has outlined a veterans’ program which focuses on education, job training, and increased health benefits, including mental health. Don’t take my word for it. Read the local and national news. Study and research the issues and the candidates. Think about who you want representing you in Washington. Then join me in supporting Leslie Cockburn and Tim Kaine this November.
As uttered in the first 150 words of our existence as a sovereign nation, I believe that we are all endowed with certain inalienable, unalterable and irrevocable rights. Those rights are endowed by a Creator, not government. Government though, deriving its authority from the governed, is instituted to protect those rights, not destroy them. I believe that the exercise of a true right requires no labor or resources of another. Recent calls for “free” education and “free” health care as basic human rights ignore the fact that both require labor and resources of others thus they aren’t “free” and therefore must be rationed by a disinterested and/or antagonistic bureaucracy. I believe that individual liberty has proven itself to be the single most powerful force to advance the human condition. I believe that redistribution has proven itself to possibly be the greatest destroyer of social progress ever contrived. Redistribution of anything only erodes society to its lowest common denominator, mediocrity, if you will, with little opportunity or incentive to progress. I believe that compassion under force of law is not compassion at

time for a change...” While I’m not a constituent of the 1st Congressional District, in my mind change for the sake of change can be very be damaging to any progress being accomplished. And in the case of Congressman Wittman, much has, especially, but not limited to, Virginia’s maritime industry, veterans, working families, national security, etc., as Wittman’s 25 ways lists. Congress is filled with nice guys and gals but needs more representatives who get things done. Wittman’s record proves he is certainly one of those, not to mention he’s one of the most communicative congressional representatives I’ve experienced in my 60+ years in Virginia, including my former life in the 1st District. I, therefore, urge fellow Virginians of the 1st District consider what could be lost by voting out Rob Wittman for the sake of change, or as an old saying goes, “...the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know!”
Thank you for making clear the correct pronunciation of the name of the Democrat running against Denver Riggleman for Congress. It seems that you have not made it clear that you are “The Fauquier Democrat.” All of Fauquier used to be Democrats just after the “War Between the States.” Unfortunately, you made the Democratic candidate feel good by inviting her to the Warrenton office and the Manassas office. Even Leslie Cockburn said that “it would be very difficult to work with President Trump” in the red 5th District. Since Leslie Cockburn feels like the 5th District of Virginia is red, and families are meant to stay together, she sees no reason to have a wall to mark our country. Well, a country without any immigration laws cannot enforce any law. Mrs. Cockburn said she is completely appalled by Trump’s zero-tolerance policy for border crossers that led to family separation and called it “a level of cruelty never seen before” in the U.S. If you have a country and have no borders, how do you have a country? Let’s say you wanted to come to America and did so by the “immigration” laws. Would you want someone who does not speak the language of the country they immigrated to to protect them? Let’s say that this is not a country. How can you protect anything?

In defense of Rob Wittman
“... if it ain’t broke, don’t break it! — in defense of Virginia 1st District Congressman Rob Wittman. Two recent Times opinion articles (editor’s note: letters to the editor), Aug. 8 and Aug. 15, respectively give me pause. The first takes issue with a recent Wittman email listing the top 25 ways in which our economy is better off now. The writer’s headline is “At odds with congressman’s assessment.” Three, long columns later, I’m still wondering which of the 25 listed she is at odds with. As the late columnist Andy Rooney might respond, “Why is that?” Well, I’m left with the only obvious answer — a bait and switch — so as to harangue the reader about all the ills she sees wrong with the Trump administration, much of which is no more than disinformation likely collected from media sources. The Aug. 15 opinion (editor’s note: letter to the editor), in brief, suggests “It’s time for a change in the 1st Congressional District (Virginia’s). “Again, comes the question “Why is that?” The author’s answer, again in brief, “Rep. Rob Wittman has been in office a long time. He’s really nice guy (sic). But for me, it’s

all, but rather compulsion in its most diabolical form. I believe that protection of property rights is practically as important to social progress as individual liberty. Why strive to progress if gains will be confiscated? I believe that the nurturing and education of children is a responsibility so incumbent upon parents that nothing can absolve them of it. Federal intrusion into education has not only caused education costs to outpace inflation by about 2:1 but has also alienated parents and placed youth in a moral vacuum. I believe that one thing more destructive than redistribution might be the lowly bureaucrat wielding the power of the state. I am confident that Denver Riggleman shares my views on individual liberty, property rights, government intrusion and nanny-state policies (among others) therefore I will be casting my vote on Nov. 6 for Republican Denver Riggleman as congressman from Virginia’s 5th District. I pray that others around the country will rally and cast their votes for similar liberty-minded representatives because, quoting Abraham Lincoln, “we shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope for earth.” Chuck Angier Sandy Level
PRIVATE SERVICES
When families, for one reason or another, do not wish to hold a funeral service and burial large enough to accommodate all of the deceased’s friends, well-wishers, and extended family, they may elect to hold a private service. It may be that the circumstances surrounding a death may be too upsetting for immediate members of the family left behind to share their profound grief with others. Everyone responds to death in his or her own way, and those on the outside should respect the wishes of these grieving individuals. Often, at a more appropriate time, the family may elect to hold a memorial service that includes others with their remembrances. There is no single proper funeral service. It is a time for human sharing in its deepest sense. You and the ones you love are at the very center of the process, and the choices you make will determine its significance for you. For more information, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.

‘A LITTLE GUNSLINGER IN HIM’ PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER
Gabe Chumley’s superb debut as Kettle Run’s new quarterback included four touchdown passes in a 33-7 win at Warren County, three to Shannon Ferguson.
New QB shines as Cougars win opener, 33-7 By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
Gabe Chumley waited three years to take the reins from his brother, Casen, as Kettle Run’s starting quarterback. On Friday night, he needed less than four minutes to throw his first touchdown pass. The senior led his Cougars down the field during their first possession before connecting with Shannon Ferguson for an 8-yard touchdown pass that ignited Kettle Run for a 33-7 victory over the Warren County Wildcats on the road in Front Royal. Ferguson proved to be one of his favorite targets, too. The junior made seven receptions for 82 yards and three touchdowns, helping Chumley finish with 267 passing yards and four touchdown passes. Chumley “and I have always been tight,” Ferguson said. “We did expose some weaknesses they had. They had trouble covering comebacks and curls so we hit them with that. That’s how I scored three times.”
NEXT GAME:
Friday vs. Brentsville (1-1), 7 p.m. He caught touchdown passes of 16 and 12 yards while combining with fellow receivers Ben Heflin and Levi Carver for 15 receptions, 216 yards and four touchdowns. “These are great kids,” Cougars coach Charlie Porterfield said. “They worked so hard this offseason together with Gabe. It was awesome to see it pay off. Throwing and catching everyday along with running routes made things significantly easier for them in the game.” Chumley not only completed 18 of 28 passes, he converted many long-yardage situations on key downs. “Gabe is a little different,” Porterfield said. “He has a little gunslinger in him. He is going to look for the shot first and that’s the shot he is going to want to take. “We are okay with that and we’ve game planned for it,” the coach said. “He makes plays.” While the Cougars moved the ball easily on their first possession, Chumley’s clutch gene helped him convert the drive into points on fourth down. The Wildcats forced him outside of the pocket, so he rolled to the left before directing Ferguson into an open spot for the score. “Luckily he was fast enough to
FAST FACT: Kettle Run is 12-1 lifetime vs. Brentsville. get there,” Chumley said. “That one was a good one,” the quarterback said. “The line did a great job and our receivers did a great job finding those zones.” Chumley then threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Carver for a 13-0 lead after a failed extra point. “It was very important for us and [Chumley’s] confidence,” Porterfield said. “The fact that Gabe was able to come out and have success in the first two drives gave him the ability to stay calm and he was really able to run that offense for us in the second half.” Warren County, however, responded when quarterback Bryce Post completed a screen pass to Logan Dehaven, who broke a tackle and outran the defense for an 81-yard touchdown. Then Chumley made a rare mistake and threw an interception, but the Cougars still later added to their lead with an Andrew Piercy 21-yard field goal. So Kettle Run couldn’t have asked for a better start following an unexpected bye week caused by Manassas Park canceling its season due to low participation. “I think having the [extra] bye week really helped,” Ferguson said. “Having two weeks of practice really perfected
what we wanted to do against this team and we were able to put it to use.” Ahead 16-7 at halftime, Kettle Run’s defense stifled Warren County in the second half, allowing only five first downs while eliminating the big plays that put the Wildcats on the board. Piercy added another 21-yard field goal in the third quarter before Chumley and Ferguson combined for two more touchdown passes. Supplementing Kettle Run’s offense were running backs Ridge Scott (37 rushing yards), Cade Campbell (49) and Darian Lambert (52).

119TH WARRENTON HORSE SHOW
YOU BE THE JUDGE Thomas pops in to rate futurity classes By Betsy Burke Parker Special to the Times
Successful thoroughbred trainer Jonathan Thomas had never judged a horse show before last week’s Warrenton Horse Show. Busy managing a stable that includes 200 horses at Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, Florida, and other racetracks, Thomas was in town for the 119th annual Labor Day tradition at the historic Shirley Avenue showgrounds. The 1998 Fauquier High graduate found a lot to like in three competitive divisions. “I look at thousands of young horses every year,” said Thomas, who attends countless auctions and private sales. “Yearling conformation is critical in selecting young athletes,” added Thomas, 38, who grew up riding and hunting in Upperville, and went directly into the thoroughbred industry after graduating FHS 20 years ago. Horses were shown at the walk only, in-hand, trying to impress the judge along with a dozen citizen judges competing themselves for a cash

Virginia-bred got the nod over distaff division winner, Morgan’s Ford Farm’s Tapizar filly, and Virginia Certified division winner, Patricia Ramey’s Cross Traffic colt. “He’s the type I’d love to have in my shedrow,” Thomas said of the winner. Virginia Thoroughbred Association president Debbie Easter said the futurity has historically produced champions that have gone on to impressive racing careers. Futurity winner in 2012, Just Call Kenny is a graded stakes winner of nearly $500,000.

Carrying the notion of the superiority of the thoroughbred athlete to another level, Oliver Brown’s Unbridled Logic controlled the competition through two rounds to win Saturday night’s headliner, the $5,000 Toyota Hunter Classic. Erin Gill had the mount. Unbridled Logic is a thoroughbred gelding, 8, by Lion Heart out of the Unbridled mare Aheadnotatail. He won nearly $160,000 in four wins from 27 starts over four years before he was sold through the New Vocations racehorse retirement program. “He started showing three years ago,” Brown said, winning hunter and thoroughbred divisions in local
and recognized shows. “But this is by far their biggest win so far.” Unbridled Logic scored 90 in the opening round, 85 in the second round. Gill, 16, is a high school junior. “That she beat all the pros today, that’s saying something,” Brown added. “She’s very determined. Erin rides anything and everything I put her on. She’s good.” Best Young Horse honors went to Belgian Warmblood gelding Cabalero, a dark bay yearling bred and owned by Haymarket veterinarian Dr. Liz Capor and handled by Charlie Brown. His brother Oliver handled the runner-up, 2-year-old Warmblood filly class winner Hazel Hill, a third-generation homebred from Diana Dodge’s Nokomis Farm program. The Bull Run Hunt swept Sunday’s Hunt Night, earning top hunt honors. BRH riders won first, second, third and fourth in hunt teams, whip Pam Cibula was high-point rider and staff class winner, with huntsman Charles Montgomery taking top prize in the horn blowing contest and gentlemen’s hunter hack. Bull Run rider Elizabeth Rock won the ladies hunter hack on Newsroom, with junior member Hattie Brown taking the junior hunter hack on S.R. Easter Lily.

Eagle field hockey team entering dead period By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
After only three games, the Liberty field hockey program is looking at a 13-day hiatus. The Eagles (1-2) next play Sept. 11 at Battlefield. Recent high heat indexes has forced several practices indoor and the postponement of one game. “I hate not playing, but right now, the rest is coming at a good time,” said coach Katie Norman. The youthful Eagles are coming off a 1-0 loss last Thursday against Osbourn Park. The Yellow Jackets scored late in the second half, and the Eagles could not respond. Liberty’s ability to execute on penalty corners is a key hockey asset, and that knack was instru-
Sams starts for Kent in football opener By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
Former Liberty High star Julian Sams started at left guard for the Kent State football team in a season-opening 31-14 loss to Illinois last Saturday. A true freshman who graduated from LHS in May, Sams won the job toward the end of preseason camp. First year Kent State head coach Sean Lewis praised Sams at a Monday press conference. “The one guy I was really pleased with was Julian Sams. For a true freshman who is still a little bit undersized, he came out and played with great pad leverage. The stage

mental in the team’s initial win, a 2-1 decision over visiting Orange on Aug. 23. The two squads exited halftime 0-0 before Liberty’s continued pressure began to pay dividends. “We maintained possession for most of the game and finally started to draw corners,” said coach Norman. The Eagles forced a penalty corner, with Elizabeth Sorto assisting Regan Keys to give Liberty 1-0 lead. Orange tied it but that did not appear to phase the Eagles, who continued pressing forward. That pressure led to another Liberty set play. This time Jordan Cabanbnn sent a pass to Daphne Daymude for the winning score with three minutes left. Norman praised the strong play of Sorto, Daymude, Cabanban, Emma Miller, Jada Milton and didn’t look too big for him and he competed his tail off. I was really pleased with the effort he played with,” Lewis said. Sams was 2018 Fauquier Times Liberty Boys Athlete of the Year after stellar seasons in football and
wrestling. Kent State is coming off a 2-10 season and predicted to be near the bottom of the Mid-American Conference East Division standings. The Golden Flashes host Howard this Saturday.
Kaila Lacey. “All of them played both sides of the ball and helped to facilitate the game,” she said. “There was a tremendous effort and excitement from the whole team.” Norman is excited with the chemistry developing with her 16 players, hoping the positive interactions will accelerate the squad’s growth. “Our focus for next week is to continue to grow a unified team. All 16 of these girls are really starting to establish a bond that carries over to the field,” Norman said. Liberty’s junior varsity stands at 2-0 following a 4-0 win over OP on goals by Jazmyn Reynolds, Alex Palizzi, Bethany Smuts and Lise Eanes. The team opened with a 3-1 win over Orange.
Rodman flashes speed for Liberty By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
With two runners in the top five and three in the top 16, the Liberty boys cross country squad placed fourth out of 20 teams Saturday in the varsity “B” race of the Chancellor Cross Country Invitational. The meet was the Eagles’ first of the season. Eagle Sam Rodman raced to second place in 18 minutes, 45.6 seconds over 5,000 meters. Teammate Matthew Anderson was fifth in 19:09. Sherando’s James Harris ran away from the large field to win in 18:08. Patriot claimed the team crown with 41 points.
Liberty’s Victor Zimmer placed 16th in 20:16 to give the Eagles a solid presence at the front of the field. Connor Rogers (32nd, 20:54) and Evan Worley (58th, 21:59) completed the top five scorers for the locals. Xylan Wilson (62nd, 22:11) and Ethan Mullins (72nd, 22:27) rounded out the entry list. Liberty was seventh in the Developmental Girls division. Lily Wingo and Sage Laine were neck and neck for local honors. Wingo edged Laine by just more than two seconds in 26:40.3 for 32nd out of 165 runners. Cindy Garcia (48th, 28:01), Erin Yancey (108th, 31:27) and Emma Dodson (128th, 33:00) also were Eagle scorers.

WEEK 3 FOOTBALL PREVIEW
QB uncertainty plagues 0-2 Falcons By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
After using three quarterbacks last week, Fauquier coach Joe Prince began this week of practice unsure who will start behind center against Dominion on Friday. Week One starter J.T. Diehl is still dealing with an injury while Hershel Rinker somewhat struggled during a 14-7 loss to Brentsville with Evan Jackson relieving him. So Jackson led the Falcons with 72 yards and a touchdown on 4-for-5 passing. “We felt like we needed to change it up,” Prince said. “He did a decent job throwing, but he – well, they both – just have got to eliminate some mistakes.” Elsewhere, Liberty lost last week to Courtland, 28-17, and will play Culpeper this Friday, while PHOTO BY TAVAN SMITH Kettle Run will play Brentsville after defeating Warren County last week, 33-7.

Record: 0-2. Notes: Practice this week will determine Fauquier’s starting quarterback against Dominion. J.T. Diehl is dealing with an injury, while Hershel Rinker and Evan Jackson both took snaps against Brentsville. “They’re struggling right now … but they have some talent,” he said. “They have a lot of returning players from last year’s team that won the district.” Prince hopes the Falcons will minimize their mistakes Friday after committing four turnovers against Brentsville with a handful of other fumbles that they recovered. “We’ve just got to settle down,” Prince said. “Just [need] some confidence in what we’re doing. Hopefully everybody will be healthy.”
1-1 Eagles hope to get back on track vs. Devils By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Coming off their first loss of the season, the Liberty Eagles will try to rebound against a winless Culpeper team. They’ll likely need to eliminate some of the mistakes they made during a 28-17 loss to Courtland. Liberty committed five turnovers last week and failed to score in the red zone on four possessions. “We played hard,” Eagles coach Sean Finnerty said. “But it was one of the more difficult games to watch because of the amount of missed assignments we had. We’re a very inexperienced football team and it showed. We made an unbelievable amount of mistakes.” Finnerty hopes to perform better offensively against the Blue Devils. “Their defense has done really good against the run,” he said. “They put a lot of guys in the

Week 2 standouts: Raymond Morton, 316 yards and one touchdown on 7-for-16 passing with 67 rushing yards and a touchdown. Record: 1-1. Notes: The Eagles may play without senior safety Cornelius Minnifield, who suffered a knee injury against Courtland. “Arguably our best defensive player, so that’s big,” Liberty coach Sean Finnerty said. box. So we have to execute much better up front.” Culpeper will also likely give various looks offensively. They feature a two-tight-end set with four running backs as well as a spread offense, Finnerty said. “They have athletes that are dangerous,” he said.

Attacking lineup helps Falcon field hockey bomb Osbourn 12-0 By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Fauquier’s field hockey team has convinced their coach to switch. Fauquier opened the 2018 season playing four forwards and three midfielders, but coaches and players wanted to create more offensive punch and pushed for a 3-2-3-2 alignment to send eight attackers consistently into the circle instead of seven. A bit dubious, Coach Brook Settle tried it to stunning results in an explosive 12-0 rout of visiting Osbourn last Thursday. “I was a little leery of it. I saw a lot better passing. That’s one of our areas we’ve been working on all week in practice,” Settle said, describing previous results as “crappy.” The new formation “opened the field. We were playing more as a unit,” she said as the Falcons used back passes and triangles to hunt for
“I was pumped. I’ve been thirsty for those goals this year because it’s my senior year.”

the best available shot. Senior forward Lindsey Finks scored a career-best three goals, all in the initial eight minutes as the Falcons improved to 2-0 by flooding the attack zone. “I was pumped,” Finks said with a broad smile. “I’ve been thirsty for those goals this year because it’s my senior year.” Finks found the cage after only 42 seconds and upped the score to 2-0 just 1:48 into the contest. “Settle had promised us no practice tomorrow if we had the shutout and scored [at least three] goals,” said Finks. Subsequent to Finks’ opening bar-
rage, Fauquier proceeded to add six more goals to lead 9-0 entering intermission after firing 20 shots on goal. Abby McCusker notched an unassisted score at the 19:07 mark. She then fed Lucy Arnold exactly five minutes later for a fifth goal. Madison Filson and Fallon Goemmer continued the onslaught to raise the score to 7-0. Ruby Wrigley then struck for backto-back scores in a six-minute span. “You try not to score to make the other team feel better,” Wrigley said, sympathetic of Osbourn’s plight. “But you just can’t top. It’s an adrenalin thing. “It was a great first home game. I think we worked together well,” Wrigley said, pointing in particular to communication and connecting passes. “It’s fun to play games when you can focus just on what your team is doing and work all the kinks out,” Finks added.
With numerous position changes, Fauquier needed more than six minutes to score in the second half. Junior Ashley Maldanado and senior Morgan Gatti both tallied first-ever career goals before Zoe Savage capped the scoring on a Finks assist. McCusker handed out two assists, with Ella Irvin, Filson and Savage adding one each. Settle said Tuesday’s practice would focus on continued fine tuning of the formation before Wednesday’s journey to Brooke Point, a game on artificial turf. “We’re going to work on a lot of speed. I hear we’re playing on turf,” the coach said. “So we’re going to work on quick, short, crisp passes… one touch, get rid of it.” Fauquier hosts Orange next Tuesday and North Stafford Thursday. Junior varsity play begins at 5:30 and varsity at 7.

CLOSER TO FULL STRENGTH Battling Eagles getting key volleyball players back By Fred Hodge

UVA Radiology Vein and Vascular Care Gainesville
Coaches often talk of assembling the pieces into a functioning unit. That is a daunting task when many of the pieces are absent. Liberty volleyball coach Carrie Marek finally hopes to have her entire unit available for the first time this week after opening 0-3 with a mix-and-match lineup. Two defensive specialists will make first appearances and other injured players should be cleared to play. “It’s a slow process,” Marek observed. “We are working on how to move the ball around more effectively.” Liberty demonstrated solid play in its opening season 25-18, 25-6, 25-17 loss to visiting Woodgrove on Aug. 29. The Wolverines held a narrow 17-16 lead before Eagle Kaci Henrich slipped on a puddle in front of the home bench. She left on crutches and Liberty never regained full traction. Woodgrove tallied the next five points en route to a 25-18 win. “We lost a little bit of momentum there,” Marek said. “When we got to the second game, we were still figuring out how the rotations worked.” Marek noted some teams have “huge hitters,” while Liberty is still developing that aspect and working on tactics such as sending the ball deep into the corners to disrupt timing. “The more options we can use to keep them out of their offense and not swinging on us…to give our back row time to get there,” Marek said. “Does it always work? No, but we are getting there. “It’s a slow process,” she stated. “I think we’ve always played reactionary volleyball. “We’re starting to be more proactive. It’s a long road. We’re trying to change the culture here.”

Blossman Gas lights the flame Office opening is homecoming for regional vice president By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
For 12 years Steve McCoy was the office manager for a propane company in Bealeton. He loved the job and the people of Fauquier County. But cream always rises to the top and when the company was sold in 1996, McCoy moved on to greener pastures and greater responsibilities. Today, he’s pleased to call Fauquier home again. No, he’s not living here but he’s the regional vice president of Blossman Gas & Appliance with an office west of Fredericksburg. McCoy knew Warrenton and the surrounding area well and the company was looking for an area to expand to, so he pitched the idea to his company’s CEO. “He was in full agreement with my recommendation and today we’re located at 259 Broadview Ave.” Opened in March of this year, the newest entrant in the local propane market is off to a solid start. Paul Perkins manages the office with a staff of administrative, technical, sales and delivery personnel. “Our Warrenton office is representative of all our offices. It’s located on the main street of town and staffed by local people who are serving the local community,” said McCoy. “We’ve generated 200 new accounts since opening. Our goal is to have 4,000 customers within five years.” That’s a formidable challenge but 67 years of business experience will be brought to bear in achieving the goal. Blossman Gas is the largest family-owned propane company in the United States. Founded in 1951, it’s

program that protects our customers from market volatility.” The program stabilizes the cost per gallon of propane so customers can budget their energy costs and not be hit with unexpected rate increases. One thorny issue that can arise when considering a different propane company, is the above-and-below ground storage tanks. “Some customers feel they are trapped because they have a tank owned by the company they’re doing business with. We make it easy for customers to switch. With one call to our office we’ll take care of the issue. Customers do not need to get in the middle of the negotiations,” said McCoy. When asked how soon a customer could begin service, McCoy’s quick response was, “I can make that happen this afternoon. And that would be with competitive prices and a payment plan with a price per gallon based on an entire season.” The company also services commercial accounts. They currently have promotional programs for home builders, HVAC contractors, plumbing contractors and realtors that include seamless service changes from electric to propane. See BLOSSMAN, Page 20

Sonic Drive-In could open in Manassas By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer
It’s the moment some fast-food fans have been waiting for. A Sonic Drive-In restaurant may soon be coming to the Manassas area. A special-use permit application was filed this week for a Sonic Drive-In at 10850 Promenade Lane in the Manassas area of Prince William County, Prince William County
planning office officials confirmed Wednesday. A Burger King was previously at that location. The applicant is at the beginning of the special-use permit process. The application will be reviewed and
will then go to the planning commission and the Prince William Board of Supervisors for public hearings and votes. The special-use permit is needed because of the layout of a Sonic Drive-In restaurant, which typically has drive-in stalls around the restaurant parking lot, planning officials said. The project will also have to go through a site plan approval process before it can open. Area residents have hoped for years that a Sonic Drive-In would
come to the area. A Facebook group titled “Bring A Sonic to Manassas, VA!!!” has more than 4,600 members. Rumors of a Sonic coming to the area ramped up Wednesday, after postings popped up on the job posting website Indeed and on Craigslist advertising for a general manager position at a Sonic Drive-In in Manassas. “This is an exciting time as a Sonic Drive-in is finally coming to Manassas,” the job posting said.

Town of Warrenton officials are reviewing a site development plan to convert a portion of the former Sears store at 141 West Lee Highway into a HomeGoods store. HomeGoods is a chain of discount home furnvishings stores owned by TJX Companies, headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. TJ Maxx and Marshalls are among TJX subsidiaries. There are HomeGoods stores in Gainesville, Woodbridge, Dulles, Fairfax and Herndon among the total of 22 stores in Virginia listed on the company’s website. The Sears store closed its location in the Warrenton Village Center in July after 20 years in operation there.
It was one of many stores closed as the chain of department stores as part of a corporate downsizing. The proposed HomeGoods store will take up 22,827 square feet, according to plans filed with the Warrenton Planning and Community Development Department. The remaining 86,429 square feet of the building will remain vacant and available. The space planned for HomeGoods will be retrofitted for the new store. Two truck decks will be added and the existing Fletcher Drive access to the property will be realigned. Landscaping will be added. The land development application is currently being reviewed by the town’s public water and utilities director, zoning administrator, planner and building official. They are to submit comments by Sept. 10.
Blossman Gas lights the flame: Office opening is homecoming for regional vice president BLOSSMAN, from page 19 Service to the construction industry includes leasing temporary heating equipment and selling fuel for uninterrupted service during cold weather construction. The firm sells and installs a host of gas appliances for new home construction. Blossman markets a line of home interior and exterior products such as gas fireplaces, grills, water heaters, cooktops and clothes dryers. Interestingly, the firm will even convert small and large gasoline engines to propane, including lawnmowers. McCoy points out today the United States is a net exporter of propane making it a competitive domestic energy source. It’s also a cleaner fuel than gasoline and diesel. To underscore the service commitment offered by Blossman, if an emergency arises with either residential or commercial customers after normal business hours, the incoming call to the Warrenton office
is routed to the firm’s call center in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. A local technician is then dispatched to the customer’s site. In making a case for propane, Blossman points out gas is affordable, reliable, made in America, warmer than electric heat pumps, more efficient, widely available and environmentally friendly. What’s not to like? As Steve McCoy oversees his latest pride and joy in Warrenton he says, “I’m ecstatic to be back in Fauquier County serving great people with a great energy source. I welcome everyone in the community to stop by our office. We want to get know everyone in our community.” The Broadview office is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; 540-905-7758.

Local DAR chapter inducts its first African-American members PHOTO BY RANDY LITZINGER
Sonja Addison (center), her daughter, Stephannie Addison-Mudd (right) and granddaughter Brooke Addison Moore (left) were recently inducted as the first African-American members of the Fauquier Court House Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. They are descendants of William Eustace, who was born in Europe and immigrated to the Virginia Colony, settling in Fauquier. He later served as a patriot in the Revolutionary War.
Wedding record confirms Revolutionary War patriot’s connection to Addison women By John Toler
process is “extremely tough for African Americans,” noted Cat Schwetke, regent of the local chapter. Fortunately, critical documentation of the Addison women’s connection to Eustace – a wedding record – was discovered in old Fauquier County records.
Associate Editor
History-within-history was made Saturday, Sept. 1, when three local women were the first African Americans inducted into the Fauquier Court House Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The chapter’s newest members, representing three generations of the Addison family, are Sonja Addison; her daughter, Stephannie Addison-Mudd; and granddaughter, Brooke Addison Moore. In order to become new members, Stephannie – the family genealogist – had to provide documentation linking them back several generations to William Eustace (1729-1800) of Fauquier County, an American patriot who served in the Revolutionary War. Research conducted by Stephannie revealed that Eustace served in the 2nd Virginia Regiment or provided supplies to the regiment –or both – during the war. She also learned more about their deep family ties to the Blackwelltown community near Midland. The original contact with the DAR was made three years ago at a genealogy workshop focused on African-American research and resources, conducted by the Fauquier Court House chapter. One of the attendees was Stephannie, who used what she learned to trace her family’s roots.
From Eustace to Addison
Tintype of Edwin Eustace (1856-1934), who was four generations removed from Revolutionary War veteran William and Anne Eustace. Edwin Eustace, who was bi-racial, was the son of Louisa E. Eustace, a once enslaved woman, and James B. Eustace, who was the great-grandson of William Eustace. Edwin Eustace was Sonja Addison’s great-grandfather. By conducting extensive research and compiling official records – including Eustace’s service, dates of marriages and deaths of his direct descendants – she was able to establish the direct lineal ancestry. Due to incomplete records, the
William Eustace, who was white, was born in Europe and immigrated to the Virginia Colony, settling in Fauquier. William Eustace’s great-grandson, James B. Eustace, married Louisa E. Eustace, a once-enslaved African-American woman who lived in Blackwelltown. Their son was Edwin Eustace. Edwin married Annie Washington, and their son, Calvin, married Manissa. The next generation was their daughter Beatrice Eustace, who married Roger Pitts. The Pitts’ daughter was Sonja, one of the new DAR members, who married Victor Addison. Their daughter is Stephannie Addison-Mudd, who married George Mudd. Brooke Addison Moore is their daughter. These Eustace descendants are now part of America’s largest inclusive genealogical society. Founded in 1890 and incorporated in 1896, the National DAR currently has more than 185,000 members in 3,000 chapters located in all 50 states, Washing-
ton, D.C., and internationally. Membership is open to any woman, age 18 or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the Revolution. The categories of patriotic service considered range from the signers of the Declaration of Independence, through military and civil service, to those who “rendered material aid, with or without compensation, to the colonies” during the Revolution.

Local DAR chapter inducts its first African-American members DAR, from Page 21
The Fauquier Court House Chapter, NSDAR, currently has about 110 members. Schwetke, who recently returned from a DAR genealogy workshop in Indianapolis, learned that in 1977, Karen B. Farmer was the first African American inducted into the society at a chapter in Michigan.
The inductees
Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Warrenton, Sonja Addison served in senior level federal service and was certified as a federal and state mediator. Retiring from federal service in 2004, she continued in mediation with the Piedmont Dispute Resolution Center in Warrenton until 2015. Sonja Addison is a lifelong member of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Amissville, and over the years has volunteered to serve in many church and community endeavors. Daughter Stephannie Addison-Mudd is a Fauquier County native, who was educated in Fauquier County Public Schools, Notre Dame Academy
A wedding record listing James B. and Louisa E. Eustace proved to be critical piece of information proving the unbroken line from William Eustace to the Addison family. It was found by Stephannie Addison-Mudd in Fauquier County records. in Middleburg and Virginia State University in Petersburg. Professionally, she has served as the production coordinator at a local newspaper, a loan officer for Centex Mortgage and as the owner of All the Time Express, a trucking company.

New free app explores Civil War Battlefields The American Battlefield Trust’s new smartphone app helps heritage travelers explore the nation’s Civil War battlefields and understand the fighting that transpired on them. The Trust’s Civil War Battle Maps application includes more than 100 maps created by the Trust’s veteran cartographer, Steve Stanley, showing military maneuvers on the war’s best-known battlegrounds. Developed for the Trust by Neotreks Inc. of Castle Rock, Colorado, the GPS-enabled app empowers
users to follow each battle’s action from the comfort of their living room, or while walking or hiking across historic ground. Its collection covers 83 battlefields in 142 maps, from Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to Glorieta Pass in New Mexico. More complex battles, such as Gettysburg, have multiple maps to explain the fighting as it unfolded across sometimes expansive terrain. The Battle Maps app includes an overview of the 4-year-long war, timelines of each year of the fighting, and
nized the Addison family reunion, which drew about 400 family members. Third-generation inductee Brooke Addison Moore was born in Petersburg, and attended Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly and Wakefield School in The Plains. She graduated from the University of Mary Washington in 2016. Brooke Addison Moore volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club and at Fauquier Hospital. She is a licensed real estate agent with ReMax Regency in Warrenton and will soon be attending an executive training program with Wells Fargo in Dallas. When asked which of the Fauquier Court House Chapter’s activities most interest her, Sonja Addison replied that both she and Stephanie are most excited about becoming “sisters in service,” providing aid and support for those in need in our community. In addition, it was announced by Regent Schwetke that Stephannie Addison-Mudd had agreed to conduct the chapter’s African American Research and Resources workshops, where her journey with the DAR began.

The Battle Maps app is available for free in iOS and Android versions from Apple’s App Store and Google Play. In addition to smartphones, it also works on iPads, the iPod Touch, and Android tablets. If the Trust has a multimedia Battle App for a particular battlefield, a link in the maps app takes users straight to it. The Battle Maps app links mobile users to resources about its bat-
tles on the Trust’s website, how to learn more about each engagement, and get information about visiting battlefield communities and related historic sites. For select battlefields, the web resources include videos, 360-degree Virtual Tours, Animated Maps, photo galleries, articles, and preservation opportunities. To aid visitors, the website includes 28 single- and multi-day travel itineraries for Civil War, Revolutionary War and War of 1812 battlefields. All of the Trust’s Battle App guides can be found at battlefields. org/mobileapps.
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 and requiring an agricultural affidavits for pastures. Seeing livestock in pastures isn’t enough for this 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 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 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 540422-8020 or email them:

Marking the history at Vint Hill New historic marker details former Army listening post’s role in WWII and beyond By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Jo Anne Kassner is proud of her dad’s service during World War II and the post-war years even though some of it is a mystery. But this much is known: Pvt. Leonard A. Mudloff intercepted a message from the Japanese ambassador to Germany in 1943 that described German fortifications, troop strength and contingency plans in western France. Once decoded, that information aided the Allies in planning the successful D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. Mudloff was working at Vint Hill, a farm converted to a listening post during World War II. The U.S. Army intercepted diplomatic and military communications of the enemy, decoded the messages and uncovered information that aided the war effort. The work of Mudloff and others assigned there is now heralded on a roadside historical marker in Vint Hill, which was closed as a military installation in 1997. Some of the Vint Hill veterans were present Saturday for the formal unveiling of the marker, which

Jo Anne Kassner looks at the new Vint Hill historical marker, which describes the work of her father, Pvt. Leonard Mudloff, during World War II when he was assigned to the former U.S. Army listening station. stands on Lineweaver Road near the Vint Hill Craft Winery. Kassner, formerly of Warrenton and now a resident of Laurel, Maryland, represented her father, who died in 1973. His post-war and pre-retirement years were spent working for the National Security Agency at Fort Meade in Maryland. “I’m proud of him and pleased Vint Hill is getting recognition. Some don’t really know what went on here,” Kassner said.
Al Lindley was among the veterans present for the unveiling. He said he was assigned to Vint Hill four separate times, once while in the military and three times as a civilian. He worked in a special project unit but couldn’t divulge what he did. He was a project manager at the time the government closed the facility in 1997. Vint Hill is now home to businesses that occupy buildings the Army once used for its secret work. The Vint Hill Craft Winery is in
a former barn, which along with outbuildings served as the hub of the Army’s operations. What’s now the Covert Café was a reception room and shop. The Cold War Museum occupies a former supply building. The new Farm Station Café, Covenant Christian Academy and Hope Church use space that was part of a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility – or SCIF – an enclosed area used to process classified information. What’s now the Old Bust Head Brewing Company was a military warehouse. Old Bust Head Brewery co-owner Julie Broaddus took the lead in the drive to have the state formally recognize Vint Hill’s historical significance by authorizing the roadside marker to inform the traveling public. Broaddus organized the day’s program, which included remarks by historian John Salmon, who did the research needed to get the marker approved by the state. Scott District Supervisor Holder Trumbo spoke, as did Francis Gary Powers Jr., who founded the Cold War Museum, which has exhibits related to the post-WWII struggle with communism. Powers’ father, Francis Gary Powers Sr., was shot down and held prisoner in the Soviet Union in 1960 while piloting a U-2 spy plane. The elder Powers was released as part of a prisoner swap.

The Baby Buzz offers expectant and new parents advice and tips
THE FAUQUIER COUNTY LIBRARY PAGE The latest news from and about the Fauquier County public library
Page 33
By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
When Pam Haefner and her husband, Paul, moved to Northern Virginia 18 years ago, she was pregnant with the couple’s first child. Most of her friends and family were all back home in upstate New York, so she decided to attend a support group for expectant first-time moms at a local hospital. It was not exactly what she expected – more social club than emotional support – so Haefner said, “I went up to a mom who looked as tired as I felt and asked her to go for coffee.” The two women did just that and bonded almost immediately. “We became best friends,” Haefner said. “We talked to each other every single day during our pregnancies, and that really helped both of us. And we’re still great friends.” These days, Haefner continues to help soon-to-be and current parents out of her Middleburg office. She has a master’s degree in social work from The Catholic University of America and a thriving practice that attracts clients from Loudoun and Fauquier counties and as far away as Winchester and West Virginia. She also has created The Baby Buzz, a nonprofit that focuses on education and preparation for the challenges of parenthood. On Sept. 15, The Baby Buzz will host a free daylong workshop for expectant parents and parents of young children up to age 5 at the Hill School in Middleburg from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This will be the third year for an event that will feature eight different speakers, including Haefner, on a variety of subjects, among them lactation, physical and emotional development, supporting new parents, nutrition, language development and much more. Pre-registration is required, and participants can stay all day or pick and choose any of the sessions. Several vendors also will be displaying their wares and services, including a pediatric dentist, a photographer, and reading material available from Middleburg’s Second Chapter bookstore. “The premise is to support parents with young children under five,” Haefner said. “We want to get parents and professionals together to address all the issues they’re concerned about…I’m most interested in helping families find the ‘why’ behind a child’s behavior. What’s the

Once we figure that out, the ‘how’ in getting it to change comes pretty easily.” Haefner’s Middleburg practice also specializes in seeing children under 5, but her clients range from pregnant women all the way up to
senior citizens and the elderly. She also holds a free weekly new mom’s women’s support group in her office to discuss topics like baby’s sleep, adjusting to life with a baby, and feelings of isolation, a particular concern for many new moms living in rural areas. “The group is one of the highlights of my week,” Haefner said. “To me, my work is my passion. The group is not about making money, it’s about providing support for families, and especially out here, where there may not be that kind of support you need. When I came here, we were living in Purcellville, I had no family around here and it was hard.” Back in Rochester, New York, her home town, there was plenty of family. Haefner is one of six children, and her youngest brother was born when she was 13. That same year, she said with a smile, “I actually subscribed to Parent magazine.” For more information or to register for The Baby Buzz workshop, go to TheBabyBuzz.org, call 540687-4114 or email Pam Haefner at PJHaefner@gmail.com.

Wittman, at his website wittman. house.gov, indicates that our economy is better now. This is due in part, according to Wittman, to tax and regulatory system changes for all Americans.

This is considered to be due to the recent passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and well of the rolling back of countless burdensome regulations.

Rest well, good friend. Our friends, Alison Jackson and Cody Leeser, are currently putting together an art show “Birds of a Feather” at the Middleburg Common Ground. The show will run through Oct. 31. Hope that you will make your way to Middleburg to see what these talented ladies can do. Our animal neighbors keep us amused as we make the daily jaunts to the mail box. One neighbor has horses who are very close friends. Recently they have been joined by a darling white donkey who shares their field and is starting to become a new member of the family. Other folks have goats. Billy (goat, that is) and his family spend many hours on a large rock surveying the traffic on Crest Hill Road. Some folks or animals are easily amused!

Join us for the history of the Remount Depot: Warren County’s Army Base This month’s Sunday with the Library program spotlights the U.S. Army’s Front Royal Remount Depot. In his presentation, Patrick Farris, professor of anthropology at Shenandoah University and former executive director of the Warren Heritage Society in Front Royal, will discuss the fascinating history of this important military installation. The Remount Depot occupied 5,000 acres along Chester Gap Road in Warren County. Purchased by the United States Army between 1908 and 1911, the base supplied the Army’s cavalry, engineers and artillery with horses and mules. By its closure in 1947, the Depot had trained and shipped thousands of animals to the Mexican border and both world wars. It had also occupied a central place in the economy and everyday life of Warren County. Farris is active in local and state communities, and

Five reasons a library card is the most powerful card in your wallet Each year, libraries nationwide celebrate National Library Card Signup month and encourage parents, caregivers and students to obtain a free library card. Library cards may be free, but they are powerful – opening doors to academic achievement and lifelong learning. Here are five reasons why a library card is the most powerful card in your wallet. 1. Children who are read to at home and use the library perform better
in school. 2. Libraries provide a quiet place for students to study and collaborate with peers.
3. Teens can do homework and research using the virtually limitless free study tools. 4. Libraries provide no-cost computer and Wi-Fi access. 5. Adults can join book clubs, gain job skills, explore their family history or hunt for a new job—all at no cost. Stop by your local library and see for yourself the power a library card can put in your wallet! To learn more about applying for a library card, go to fauquierlibrary.org.
