GOP candidates question timing of Kavanaugh charges Unlike Stewart, Riggleman calls for investigation By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Both Denver Riggleman and Corey Stewart, two Republicans vying for Virginia seats in the U.S. House and Senate, say they are suspicious of the timing of the recent release of sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh. But while Stewart said the accusation should not affect the Senate vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination, originally scheduled for later this week, Riggleman said the process must be delayed and the allegations “taken seriously”
Corey Stewart
and investigated. “When you talk about that. What happened there. I have three daughters and a wife. So, anybody who has a sexual harassment claim has to be taken seriously. It’s that simple. That’s just how I’m wired,” Riggleman said during an interview at the Fauquier Times office Monday afternoon. Riggleman, who owns a distillery outside Charlottesville, is running against Democrat Leslie Cockburn, a former journalist, for Virginia’s 5th District congressional seat. The district includes most of Fauquier County.

Fauquier supervisors approve new rules for non-agricultural fill By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
There are new rules in place for anyone who wants to store or dispose of nonagricultural excavation material used in connection with farming. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors approved a text amendment Sept. 13 that followed complaints of massive amounts of fill being trucked to a future sod farm site in Midland. There have been complaints about other cases as well. The county previously didn’t regulate excavation material not generated on the farm, but state law empowers local governments to require approval. The planning commission, by a 4-to-1 vote, recommended an amendment that requires landowners to receive a special exception for accepting more than 200 cubic yards of fill within any 24-hour period or for accepting more than 4,200 cubic yards within a year. A request for a special exception would go to the supervisors for approval. If granted, those limits can be exceeded. The text amendment also says fill can’t be stored or disposed of within 100 feet of a property line, well or edge of a stream. The fill has to support a farming purpose, and the applicant has to
supply an affidavit attesting to that. A grading plan and an erosion and sedimentation plan have to be submitted to obtain a land disturbance permit. Soil and rock are permitted fill material. Gravel and asphalt millings are allowed for driveway repair. The planning commission and supervisors wrestled with limits that wouldn’t be burdensome to farmers while addressing complaints of noise, dust, runoff and the number of trucks coming and going. “I struggle with a resolution has ‘agricultural’ in it,” said Chris Butler, chairman of the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors. “If you’re in a true agricultural operation and need fill or to level a hill, I’m with you. But I don’t want us to be a dump for Prince William or Loudoun.” “I don’t like regulation, but when it boils over into neighbors we have to get involved,” added Butler (Lee). “It’s got to end sometime,” said Pat Hupp, a Midland resident whose property adjoins the controversial sod farm at the heart of many recent complaints about the previous lack of county regulations. “My goal is to save someone else from this nightmare,” Hupp said. She was one of 13 speakers to address the supervisors before they voted. Some had complaints about the trucked-in fill, while others had concerns about how the text amendment would affect farming opera-
tions. Mike Hawkins, the contractor bringing fill in for the Midland sod farm, offered an apology for the runoff neighbors complained about. “We’ve had 20 inches of rain this summer,” he said. But Hawkins disputed a figure of 55,000 truck trips over a year’s time that another speaker claimed have
been made to and from the site. That speaker, James Lilly, stood by his figure. Neighbors of the sod farm site off Brent Town Road have been counting trucks, using cameras to follow activity on the site, and following them from where they originate. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com
Old Town Warrenton music store owner plans new Main Street performance space KAVANAUGH from page 1 The Dingus Center is slated for a December opening down the street in space formerly occupied by Earth, Glaze & Fire at 92 Main St. The center will be overseen by a nine-member board heading a nonprofit called the Gloria Faye Dingus Music Alliance. The nonprofit will raise funds to expose more children to music education. “Some kids can’t afford the types of instruments they need,” said Ross D’Urso, a member of the nonprofit’s board of directors. “Schools are always stressed by budget cuts. This is another outlet for cultural enrichment.” “We’ve got a really good solid plan in place and a team and a board. I think it will come together very smoothly and quickly,” said Tim Dingus. Dingus is in the process of getting the necessary permits from the Town of Warrenton so renovations can begin. Right now, there’s about 4,600 square feet of empty space. A piano occupies the largest room. “There’ll be a wide range of events with state-of-the art equipment,” said Levi Magyar, a cinematographer who is one of the board members. Magyar took lessons at Drum & Strum as a kid, then came back to work there after college. “One of the things Gloria loved was the shows” put on at Drum & Strum, said Dean Honeycutt, its general manager who is a professional musician and a member of the nonprofit’s board.

She wanted to make sure others were exposed to music and culture,” Magyar said. “Her mission in life was to make sure everything was better than she found it,” remembered her son. The Dingus Center will be both a concert and recital venue and a place where painters, photographers and others can display their art. A room off the main performance space will hold a changing display of art. A multipurpose room will host meetings and educational programs. There will be enough space to hold music camps and allow the Fauquier County Youth Orchestra to practice and perform there. The youth orchestra now has so many members that Drum & Strum can no longer accommodate the group. The orchestra now practices at Highland School. Besides Honeycutt, Magyar and D’Urso, the other board members are Tony Tedeschi, Lindsey Forsten, Sunny Reynolds, Tom Nichols, Dan Hilleary and Bernard J.E. van Gils. D’Urso is the county’s commissioner of revenue and a guitarist in his off hours. Music has meant a lot to him. “I started playing guitar when I was 12. I went to work and then I had a renaissance in my 50s. I was able to learn from YouTube and found a niche. I play more music today than I did in the garage band in the ’60s,” D’Urso said.

Residents disappointed by Marshall streetscape plan Fauquier officials balk at $1 million cost to underground utilities By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A Main Street streetscape project in Marshall that doesn’t put utility lines underground isn’t worth the bother in the view of many who attended a community meeting this week. Frustration was evident as at a Tuesday, Sept. 11, community meeting at which Marshall District Supervisor Mary Leigh McDaniel fielded questions about a project originally driven by a goal of burying lines underground. That aspect of the project became too expensive over the 10 years it’s taken to get it ready to bid. What’s left is an estimated $4.5 million streetscape project that includes sidewalk improvements, new crosswalks, improved signage and additional trees and street lights. The improvement area would run from the intersection of Main Street/Rectortown Road-Winchester Road to the intersection of Main and Frost streets. There will be pavement markings for street parking spaces. Frost Street will get drainage and utility improvements that aren’t part of the grant funding but will be done at the same time as the streetscape. That work will cost an estimated $400,000, bringing the total project cost to $4.9 million. For Patty Cloud, treasurer of the Marshall Business and Residents Association, making the enhancements without burying the power lines is like “putting lipstick on a pig.” “I’m really puzzled why we’re down to the wire. This whole meeting is moot,” Cloud added. “Scrap the whole darn thing,” Lora Cloud urged. With an increase in traffic she expects from a Van Metre development in the community, “I see it as a disaster waiting to happen. There will be more traffic on a narrower street.” The width of the street will be narrowed by two feet, from 40 to 38 feet across, to allow for wider sidewalks and tree plantings. “I think it’s a nice plan, but it’s wasted without putting utilities underground first. They’ll be putting in nice sidewalks and then have to tear them up to put the utilities underground” if it’s decided to do that later, said Gary Houk, a Marshall resident for 22 years. The county must put the project out to bid in November or it will lose the $3.6 million in Federal Highway Administration funds that cover 80 percent of the project’s cost. There’s a 20 percent local match. The county has put $450,000 into the project to cover costs incurred to date. Carson Land Consultants of Warrenton and Land Planning and Design Associates of Charlottesville are working on the project. The county expects to be reimbursed for the upfront costs through proceeds from a 2-cent increase in the Marshall Electric Light and Business Improvement District tax levy and proffers

McDaniel talked about how project costs escalated in her remarks to an audience of at least 80 in the Marshall Community Center. “In the fall of 2015, it was still within shooting distance. But the cost of construction has risen dramatically in Northern Virginia. There’s been a significant increase in the cost of asphalt and steel. It’s gone up 30 percent in just the last year,” McDaniel said. “By March 2018, it was a $6.2 million project. The supervisors at that time said they were not willing to pay an additional $1 million,” McDaniel said. Center District Supervisor Chris Granger said his was one of votes in 2014 against spending county dollars to put the lines underground. “My opposition was that I couldn’t support additional tax dollars on one stretch of road in one magisterial district. I was one of the voices that said this needed to be done as is,” Granger said. Granger noted that the utility lines are above ground in downtown Warrenton. The only lines placed underground over the past 10 years were done by developers, he said. He said he would support an increase in Marshall’s electric light and business improvement tax levy if the people in Marshall want to bury the lines. Besides funding, another hang-up was securing easements from property owners granting permission to come on to their land during construction and to place the transformers that would otherwise sit on the poles that would be
replaced. A total of 25 easements were obtained but four other property owners refused to grant them, said McDaniel, who declined to identify the holdouts. A change in funding rules no longer cover the cost of placing utility lines underground. Donations or local funding would have to be used to do so in the future. McDaniel said other funding sources and other ways to engineer the removal of poles and wires — possibly moving them behind buildings — are being looked at. She also said the county is trying to get an extension to the November deadline to go out for bids, but in the meantime is getting ready to bid it in the event the deadline isn’t extended. Construction could get underway next spring and be completed in three to four months. The Marshall Business and Residents Association hosted the Sept. 11 community meeting. It opened with a moment of silence in honor of those killed in the terror attacks 17 years ago. The MBRA board on Sept. 10 voted not to support the streetscape project “in its current form,” said MBRA President Mary Wilkerson. The vote wasn’t unanimous, but the majority expressed that view, she said. McDaniel said she feels the streetscape beautification project, without the undergrounding of lines, will turn out to produce economic benefits to the community. “This is something the community has wanted for a long time,” she told the audience.

School board nixes new middle school plan, mulls renovations By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County School board has officially put the kibosh on a financially-beleaguered plan to build a consolidated middle school to unify what is now Warrenton Middle, built in 1934, and Taylor Middle, built in 1951, both considered outdated facilities. School board requests for construction funding from the county have long met limitations, but a recent change in the comprehensive plan instituted new flood-plain mandates, and the build-new-or-renovate options have narrowed. The school board must go back to the drawing board. The school board initially asked the county to allocate $55 million for construction of a new building on one of the current school sites, preferably Taylor Middle, which allows better traffic access. Turned down, they submitted a $43.3 million request. When that was turned down, voting by referendum for a new structure on the Taylor site was discussed by both sides in September 2017. That also went nowhere. A few weeks later, the county offered to fund an expansion and renovation of Warrenton Middle, offering $33 million. The school board then decided traffic access issues would render that option moot.
The school board moved forward earlier year to seek architectural bids for an 800- to 950-student school — no budget limits mentioned — and narrowed 16 proposals down to five by April of this year. By last month, however, the school board had become aware of another problem: Building a new school on the Taylor Middle site would not be an option because of a change to the county’s comprehensive plan. In June, the supervisors decided new county facilities could not be built on either a 100- or 500-year floodplain.
Part of the Taylor Middle School property sits in a 500-year floodplain, so no new school may be built on that acreage. The school board now faces the task of revamping plans. Both schools need upgrades and retrofits to meet desired heating, cooling, energy-use, ingress/egress and security standards. “We don’t know what we are going to do other than move forward with gathering information to put in a Request for Proposal for a Taylor renovation/modernization,” School Board Chair Donna Grove said when
asked how the board would move forward. “We already have much of the needed information, but now need to prioritize as the previous studies estimated the cost for a full renovation, which we cannot afford.” Fauquier County Superintendent David Jeck said the county would be assessing needs at multiple middle schools, citing “possible renovations and/or additions to Warrenton Middle School, Auburn and Cedar Lee Middle School.” Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com
GOP candidates question timing of Kavanaugh charges KAVANAUGH from page 1 In a tweet Tuesday, Cockburn said Christine Blasey Ford, Kavanaugh’s accuser, “deserves a full hearing.” “I have great admiration for Dr. Ford and her courage to come forward. Many of us remember Anita Hill and her shabby treatment by members of Congress. Dr. Ford’s allegation of attempted rape deserves a full hearing. Assaulting a 15-yearold girl is not a youthful indiscretion,” Cockburn’s tweet said. U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D), who Stewart is trying to unseat, issued a similar statement Sunday: “Dr. Ford deserves to be heard and Judge Kavanaugh should respond,” Kaine said in a Facebook post.
Stewart: Timing of the allegation ‘a bunch of crap’
The allegations first came to light last week, when Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, announced that she had turned over an anonymous letter about allegations against Kavanaugh to the FBI. The letter was dated July 30, according to news reports. Over the weekend, Ford told the Washington Post she authored the letter, which described what happened more than 30 years ago when she and Kavanaugh were teenagers and attended a party in Montgomery County, Maryland. Ford told the Post that Kavanaugh, now 53, forced her onto a bed during the party, held in a private home, groped her and attempted to remove the one-piece swimsuit she was wearing under her clothing. She said Kavanaugh placed his hand over her mouth when she tried to scream and that she feared he would “inadvertently kill her.” She said the teens had been drinking and there were no adults present in the home. Kavanaugh is denying the accusation. Both he and Ford will testify Monday, Sept. 24, in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering his nomination as President Donald Trump’s (R) choice to join the Supreme Court. Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, called the timing of the accusation “a bunch of crap” and a typical “smear tactic” by Democrats. He said he wouldn’t pass judgment on the accusation itself. Stewart said he’s not sure whether he considers Ford credible. “I don’t know, I haven’t looked at her past or anything like that,” Stewart said, noting his main objection is the timing of the allegations’ release. “Why did these allegations only come up now? They happened 40 years ago. Why wait 40 years?” Stewart said. “It’s so obvious this is an attack to derail his confirmation.”
Riggleman: ‘How dare someone weaponize a woman’s pain?’
Riggleman decried the 11th-hour revelation of the accusations as an effort to “weaponize” a woman’s pain. But he said, for “anybody who’s gone through this type of pain,
you’ve got to investigate.” A vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination should be delayed for that, he said, speaking before the announcement that both Kavanaugh and Ford would testify on Capitol Hill next week. The wide-ranging interview with Riggleman covered his positions on health care, immigration, gun control and other issues. Told of Stewart’s comments about the allegations against Kavanaugh, Riggleman said the timing troubled him, too. “The thing that scares me about this — this letter was sent in July and supposedly anonymously. Whether you leak it or release it, how dare someone weaponize a woman’s pain?” Riggleman said. “You don’t have [the letter] and not deal with it for three months? You don’t get to destroy two families for political gain.” He was referring to reports that Feinstein had a letter Ford shared with members of the California congressional delegation in July. “If Feinstein had this. Did the FBI have it? Did they vet it?” he asked. “When you wait until the last second to weaponize it — you’ve got two parties, two sides doing things beyond the pale. It’s got to stop. It’s sordid, it’s ugly.” “Anybody who’s gone through this type of pain you’ve got to investigate,” he added. Asked if that means delaying the confirmation vote, Riggleman said, “You have to.” Given the allegation involves an incident that occurred 37 years ago, Riggleman added: “It’s going to be impossible to determine” precisely what happened. “Obviously, something happened that’s bad…It’s a mess. It’s a mess,” he concluded. Riggleman said he hasn’t yet campaigned with Stewart but said it’s possible the two would end up in the same place on the campaign trail in the coming weeks. “It’s possible we’ll be in the same area. He’s running a statewide campaign,” Riggleman said. Asked if he supports Stewart’s campaign for the U.S. Senate, Riggleman said, “I do. I support all of the Republican candidates.” Jill Palermo contributed to this report. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Schools aim for energy efficiency — and savings Fauquier schools to spend $185K on energy audit By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Fauquier County Public Schools will proceed with a study of 18 school buildings with the goal of making them energy efficient. The school division will contract with ABM Industries, which has worked on projects for public school systems in Orange, King and Queen, Caroline and Prince George counties and the cities of Virginia Beach and Franklin. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, which approves the school division’s budget, gave its consent Thursday, Sept. 13, for the school division to have ABM undertake an industrial-grade audit. Superintendent David Jeck and Prashant Shrestha, assistant superintendent for business and planning, outlined the scope of work for the supervisors, most of whom were present for an earlier presentation from ABM representative during an Aug. 17 joint supervisors-school board work session. Warrenton Middle School and Taylor Middle School will not be part of the audit. The school board had favored building a consolidated middle school on the Taylor site. But the board on Sept. 10 decided to drop an advertisement for proposals to build a combined school. The board will instead will look at what Taylor needs in overall upgrades. There is $33 million in the county’s capital improvements plans for renovation or expansion of Warrenton’s middle schools. The school division will borrow money to pay for the energy upgrades, then expects to be able to
Superintendent David Jeck pay off the loan through savings on energy costs. The cost of the audit is $185,000. It will be rolled into the cost of the project but if the school division doesn’t proceed with the improvements it will be on the hook to pay it back. “The big picture reason is to break through the way we do maintenance,” Jeck told the supervisors in explaining the rationale for doing an energy audit. “Rather than wait until there’s something wrong, we want to get to a place where we’re doing preventive maintenance,” the superintendent said. “We’ll be replacing inefficient equipment with efficient equipment.” Fauquier High School, which is using a boiler in service since 1963, tops the list of schools likely to see upgrades. After the audit, school and county staff will determine a list of projects to undertake based on the highest risk to student environment and energy savings.
County Administrator Paul McCulla said the school board has the legal authority to initiate the project. The debt incurred will be the county’s debt, McCulla said, referring to an opinion from the county’s bond counsel. The $11.5 million expected expenditure on energy-savings upgrades would increase the county’s debt load from 8 to 8.5 percent of annual tax revenues, still short of the county’s self-imposed 10-percent cap. The debt would be paid off over 15 years. The school board will approve the final project scope and authorize financing and construction. ABM previously assessed five Fauquier school buildings to serve as a benchmark. ABM said the school division can save approximately $300,000 through a “retrofitting” of those buildings. Extrapolating from that, ARB said the savings from all 20 buildings could amount to $900,000 after an energy audit of them all. ABM guarantees savings from the upgrades and pays if the savings don’t occur. Jeck’s presentation cited an example where the company paid $11,000 to a Michigan school system after changes to controls didn’t result in expected gas savings. ABM will do a full system assessment of buildings and develop short- and long-term plans for their continued service. Jeck said the audit should take six weeks to complete followed by 18 months of work on the upgrades. ABM will work nights, holidays and weekends to do the work so that it doesn’t interfere with classes, Jeck said. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com
An Evening With George Morris Remington says ‘Cheers’ to microbreweries By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
Looking for a new place to grab a few beers with friends? Remington officials are hope to make their town a new destination for fans of the latest craft brew. The Remington Town Council voted Monday to amend the town’s zoning code to allow microbreweries in the commercial district following favorable comments expressed during a public hearing that preceded the vote. Will, Dawn and Dr. Courtney Ashby said a microbrewery would draw people to town, particularly at night and on weekends. Town Administrator Sharon Lee said the amendment wasn’t requested by a particular applicant but initiated by town council since there currently isn’t a provision for microbreweries. Town Councilmember Van Loving said separate parties are interested in the former Shawn’s barbecue restau-
rant, at 204 E. Main St., for either a microbrewery or restaurant/lounge, but nothing has been settled. Councilmember Devada Allison Jr. said more businesses in Remington are a good thing for the town and existing businesses. “You don’t have just one restaurant in town in Culpeper. They thrive. They bring business to town,” Allison said. “We feel that anything we can do to help businesses by having another draw is in our best interest,” added Councilmember Evan H. Ashby III. Remington’s town council and planning commission held a joint public hearing on the zoning code amendment. The planning commission then voted unanimously to recommend approval by council. Council did so in a 5-to-0 vote with Council member Stanley Heaney Sr. absent. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

County declares state of emergency for storm, mulls lifetime dog licenses The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 13 approved a resolution confirming the declaration of a local emergency issued by County Administrator Paul McCulla on Sept. 11 in connection with Hurricane Florence. In other action: • The board issued a proclamation to posthumously honor retired Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Col. David A. Flohr, who died Aug. 6. Family members and colleagues from the sheriff’s office were on hand for the presentation. • The county administrator was authorized to schedule a public hearing to consider amendments to the county code to allow the sale of lifetime dog licenses at a cost of $10 per dog. Revenue from the sales, beyond the cost
of the material, would go to the Fauquier SPCA to help offset spay and neutering costs. • Conservation easements over the property of Thomas L. Higginson Jr. and George James Terwilliger III and Carol H. Terwilliger in the Marshall District, were accepted. • The board accepted federal and state grant funding in support of phase II to improve the terminal apron at the Warrenton-Fauquier Airport. The total award amount is $2,155,000, of which $1,939,500 comes from the Federal Aviation Administration, $172,400 comes from the Virginia Department of Aviation, and $43,100 is the county’s local match. The local match is in the adopted FY 2019-23 county capital improvements project budget. • The board authorized mutual-aid agreements
with Clarke, Warren, Frederick, Page, Rappahannock and Shenandoah counties. • The board approved a text amendment stating that placing telecommunication towers in agricultural and forestall districts does not conflict with the districts’ purpose.

On August 15 2018, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion” or “Company ) filed an application (“Application”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission ‘) pursuant to Enactment Clause 11 of Senate Bill 966,passed during the 2018 General Assembly Session (“Enactment Clause 11”)_, § 56 234 B of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), and Rule 80 of the Commissions Rules of Practice and _Procedure (“Rules of Practice”) or approval to establish a voluntary rate, designated Rider CRC, Manufacturing and Commercial Competitiveness Retention Credit Rider (“Rider CRC ). The Company states in its Application that Rider CRC is designed to support economic development in Dominion’s service territory-by offering a retention credit,. in the form or a two percent discount on the total monthly base generation charges to any eligible retail large general service customers who agree to take Electric Service, including Electricity Supply Service, as those terms are defined in the Company’s Terms and Conditions on file with the Commission exclusively from the Company for a period of at least three years. The Company further states that Enactment Clause 11 directs the Company to offer a retention credit to large manufacturing and commercial customers who are eligible to participate under the terms and conditions proposed in the Application. According to the Application, to participate in Rider CRC, large general service customers must currently take service pursuant to, or otherwise qualify to take service under: (1) Rate Schedule GS-3, Large General Service — Secondary Voltage; (2) Rate Schedule GS-4, Large General Service — Primary Voltage; or (3) any special rates or contracts approved pursuant to Code § 56-235.2 (each a “Principal Tariff subject to the following limitations. The Company. states that large general service customers who wish to subscribe to Rider CRC must not be receiving service from the Company under any experimental or pilot program tariff rate schedule, tariff rate schedule for market-based rates, tariff rate schedule to purchase 100% renewable energy, or companion tariff rate schedule, such as Rate Schedule MBR — GS-3, Large General Service — Secondary Voltage (Experimental), Rate Schedule MBR — GS-4, Large General Service — Primary Voltage (Experimental), or Schedule RF. The Company states that, to qualify for Rider CRC, an eligible large general service customer account (“Qualifying Account”) must-have, during the most recent calendar year, established a peak measured average 30-minute demand greater than 500 kilowatts, which did not exceed one percent of the Company’s peak road during the most recent calendar year, unless the customer had a noncoincident peak demand m excess of 90 megawatts in calendar year 2006 or any calendar year thereafter. The Company further states that a large general service customer wishing to participate in Rider CRC would be required to execute an Agreement for Electric Service (“ESA”) with the Company for each Qualifying Account that memorializes the customer’s election to volunteer for Rider CRC. The initial term of each ESA would be separately negotiated with each participating large general service customer; however the initial term would be for a period of at least three years (“TnitiaI Term”). Following the expiration oh the Initial Term, the ESA would automatically renew annually for additional one-year terms (each subsequent term referred to as a “Renewal Term”), unless and until the ESA is cancelled by written notice by either party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable. Once an ESA has been executed, the Company would make service under Rider CRC effective on the first day of the billing month immediately following the last regular meter reading date for each Qualifying Account. The two percent reduction m the total monthly base generation charges (billed by the Company to the Qualifying Account pursuant to the large general service customer’s existing Principal Tariff) would appear as a separate line item on the participating customer’s billing statement. The Company proposes to make Rider CRC effective for usage on and after the first day of the month that is at least 60 days following the date of the Commission’s final order in this proceeding. The Company also proposes to make annual reports to the Commission if Rider CRC is approved. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for further details of the Company’s proposals.

A reminder that policing is a tough, sometimes deadly, job Testimony in the trial of Ronald Williams Hamilton, the Woodbridge man charged with wounding two police officers and killing a third, a young rookie in her first day on the job, in neighboring Prince William County, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who take the oath to protect and serve. Perhaps it’s only natural for society to have a tenuous relationship with those charged with enforcing the law. The two usually only cross paths when a law has been broken. Until we need them, we tend to see the police only as a cruiser pulled off the side of the highway poised to catch speeders or as ominous flashing lights in the rear-view mirror. We tend to blame police officers more than we praise them. Someone caught speeding might think: Why aren’t the police out getting the real criminals? Cut off by a speeder, that same motorist might wonder: Where are the police when you need them? Or when there are a string of OUR VIEW neighborhood break-ins: Why aren’t the police stopping it? And, because bad news always seems to travel farther than good, what we hear of the police is often tainted by the behavior of a few. Charges of racial profiling; a fatal shooting of a young suspect who turns out to be unarmed; an officer coming home to the wrong apartment and shooting the occupant: These tend to be the stories that make headlines. But these are outliers. When we need them — whether as first responders in an event such as 9/11, during a storm like Hurricane Florence, or when they pull up behind you to offer you a little protection from traffic when you are on the side of the road changing out a flat tire — that blue uniform, shield and cruiser are a reassurance. When your house has been broken into or your car has been stolen, those people are the first line in getting your life back in order. Working for newspapers offers an opportunity to see police work on a level the public doesn’t always get. What we mostly see are people trying to cope with what comes their way and with the human failings we all possess. They are our friends and neighbors, raising families, trying to send kids through college, people working a job and doing their best. It’s a job that provides hours of routine but also dangerous unpredictability. Most of the time, police officers have little idea of what lies on the other end of a call. A man crouched in his house with an automatic weapon? A strung-out kid wielding a machete? It takes a certain kind to face those odds. On a warm February night in 2016, a young woman who chose that life had it cut short on her first day on the job. Two other officers had their lives forever changed. Through all that, the police showed laudable restraint to get a young child out of the house and the shooter to give himself up. We are a nation of laws. Our society ceases to function without them. We trust the proverbial “thin blue line” to enforce those laws. The Los Angeles Police Department motto, “to protect and serve,” adopted by police departments throughout the country, is a reminder that police officers protect and serve us all. It’s a tough job and sometimes a deadly one. For volunteering to fill this critical role, police officers deserve our gratitude.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES Gloomy skies and lots of mud did not deter a large crowd from attending the opening of the Flying Circus Aerodrome near Bealeton on May 16, 1971. While the weather prevented much of the scheduled flying, pilots and crews put on ground displays of vintage aircraft and exhibits for the visitors. 75 Years Ago Sept. 23, 1943 Seen men joined the Warrenton Rifles at drill last Thursday night as the first week of the intensive recruitment campaign closed. Wallace N. Tiffany re-enlisted, and Luther Allen Mountjoy, Stanley Ray Garman, Turner Nelson Kirk, Dorris James Reid, George Samuel Weeks and Thomas Gordon Weeks signed up for their first enlistment. The proposed planning commission for Fauquier County was again discussed at Thursday’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors, but after hearing C. W. Carter describe the commission and its functions, as prescribed by an Act of Assembly, it was decided to hold the matter over for further consideration at a later meeting. James P. Roszel, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Roszel of Markham, is at Duke University, Durham, N.C., a member of the Navy College Training Program, V-12. 50 Years Ago Sept.26, 1968 Mrs. J. Ray Larcombe, longtime friend and political ally of former congressman Howard W. Smith, has been named to head the Fauquier campaign for Democratic candidate for congress Andy McCutcheon in his drive to unseat freshman Republican William L. Scott. Cadets James J. Houser III of Gainesville and Edward Brock Price of Warrenton are among 130 seniors who completed Officers Candidate School at Hargrave Military Academy, Chatham,
Sept. 7. The Partridge Schools Arts and Crafts Shop on Culpeper Street and the Thrift Shop on Lee Street have opened for the fall and winter season. Fairway Chevrolet-Buick, one of Warrenton’s oldest automobile dealerships, has been sold by partners Mrs. Mary McClanahan and Walter A. Robinson to Herndon Chevrolet Inc., headed by Winfred L. Herndon. 25 Years Ago Sept. 22, 1993 Fauquier Hospital will kick off its Alive and Kicking event this Saturday with a health fair at the National Guard Armory in Warrenton, according to project coordinator Susan Ayres. The second phase in Alive and Kicking’s week-long event schedule is the Business Wacky Olympics at Crockett Park on Sunday. Investigator Pattye Harper, a criminal investigator of sex offenses with the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, was presented with the “Officer of the Quarter” award Sept. 16 by the Morrisville-Bristersburg Ruritan Club, according to club representative Ed Coleman. A restored World War II-era B-17 bomber and a companion B-24 took off from the Manassas Air Show on Saturday and flew over Fauquier County afterward. Applefest ’93, sponsored by Leeds Episcopal Church, will be held Sept. 25 at Stribling Orchard, and “…is going to be the biggest and best yet,” according to Anne Davis, event coordinator. — Compiled by John T.

Williams will tackle teacher pay crisis Teachers worry that their Prince William County salaries won’t support their families. According to the NEA, Virginia rates 41st in the nation for state funding of public schools. Virginia teachers average $6,700 less in salary than the national average. Teachers make an average of 70 percent of what similarly educated workers make in other occupations. According to Money magazine (August 2018), teacher salaries, adjusted for inflation, have dropped steadily since 2003. In Prince William, due to the lack of annual step and cost-of-living raises and the loss of ex-
perienced teachers, the average teacher’s pay has dropped 9 percent since 2016. Additionally, teachers pay an increasingly larger percentage of their pay toward health care and retirement. Many teachers face crippling student loans. For these reasons, Money magazine states that 35 percent fewer students are enrolling in teacher education programs and hundreds of teachers are leaving their chosen profession because they can’t afford to stay. Vangie Williams, candidate for the 1st Congressional District, has proposed exempting the first $50,000 of a teacher’s income from federal income tax. This
would provide an immediate increase in take-home pay of up to $6,000 annually. Williams would pay for this by slashing loopholes in the alternative minimum tax for corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent. In overwhelming numbers, Americans support raising or adjusting taxes to provide greater school funding. Williams’ INVEST (Income Now for Veterans, Enlisted military, Safety officers and Teachers) program makes sense to address the teacher pay crisis.
There was overwhelming opposition shown at the public hearing on Aug. 6 to the Crossroads Village rezoning and special use permits (roughly 79 percent opposed), yet the town council decided to approve most of the zoning requests. Because of the lack of any real engagement with concerned citizens and voters, Haymarket’s elected, and appointed, officials are effectively not accountable. It is no wonder many folks share the opinion that the council is unconstrained and there is no real check on its decision-making. Listening to council members discussing their actions serves to reinforce that conclusion. A few elected and appointed officials sincerely believe that they are doing the right thing and making decisions that are in the best interest of the town’s residents. The problem is they think and act without any demonstrative outreach and polling of citizens, other than utilizing a passive approach based on the minimum standard, the public notice process. Council members certainly did not hear the many citizens who voiced their opposition on Aug. 6. I believe they should actively reach out, talk to, and listen to citizens’ concerns and ideas. Council members should go beyond the bare minimum, especially with a proposal as impactful as Crossroads Village, which will undoubtedly alter the lives of community residents.
I submit that the silent majority, the almost 85 percent who did not vote in the recent town election, may have other ideas. But without their input at meetings and via correspondence, without their exercising their right to vote, why should the council operate differently? By council’s actions authorizing most of the Crossroads Village rezoning, the newly installed governing body wasted an opportunity to build a better working relationship with the Haymarket community. They also wasted the opportunity to positively influence a development that had the potential to make all residents and stakeholders, including the developer, proud. Disregarding alternatives presented by previous planning commission members and the public, as well as embracing an attempt to limit the planning commission’s review and evaluation to 30 days (later modified to 60 days after pushback) squandered the prospects for improved communication and results. For example, a former planning commission member suggested the developer consider the impact of age restricted residential housing that could help to mitigate the vehicle per day impacts and likely reduce the pressure on school overcrowding. Other ideas focused on office space related to hospital and medical businesses, with a potential to reduce traffic and school impacts and increase the customer
base to shop and eat locally. What happened to these suggestions and concerns? In my view, dismissing the public’s valid and thoughtful concerns, ignoring alternatives that could very well mitigate some of the impacts, and attempting to truncate the process is prima facie evidence of a fait accompli that placed the developer’s interests over citizens’ concerns. Compared to other municipalities, the process was rushed: the proposal was poorly conceived, a carryover from years past, hastily analyzed, and rashly approved in contradiction to planned use. Arguing that the proposal was in the pipeline for a long time is specious, at best, and an exercise in sophistry. Hopefully, council’s recent actions will sound the alarm to the danger ahead, as unsupported and hasty decisions may continue unless residents become more engaged and express their views openly, publicly, and assertively. Citizens have experienced enough of being taken for granted and ignored. Our elected officials must be held accountable for their actions and decision-making. That’s how the process should work!

A shop specialty is the ramen bowl topped with pulled pork or chicken and a half side of ribs.
Try ramen with ribs
Dynamic duo at Divine Swine grilling a brisk business
By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
It’s unusual for an entrepreneur to go from ashes…to ashes. It also highlights a business trait centric to becoming successful: keep on keepin’ on. That’s exactly what Todd Eisenhauer is doing. His latest passion is southern-styled barbecue produced in concert with longtime grill master Tim Marcus. Eisenhauer, owner of the successful Black Bear Bistro & Brick Oven, opened an upscale butcher shop in 2017 called Black Bear Mercantile at 19 Culpeper St. For a number of reasons, it didn’t get traction. When an opportunity arose to convert the shop to a barbecue haven, Eisenhauer jumped. “The shop didn’t work out because I think it was a little bit too high-end. It was hard to get people to come down Culpeper Street for something like that. It was disheartening it didn’t work. I was sad to close it down,” said Eisenhauer. But out of the ashes of that past came ashes from apple and hickory woods used to slow cook his new eatery’s meats. And why is foot traffic better than the butcher shop days? “For one thing, they call smell those ribs,” said Eisenhauer. Ahh. The old olfactory marketing ploy. Works every time. Another key to the restaurant’s early success is the man behind the smoker, Tim Marcus. Marcus is an experienced barbecue man with years of grilling under his apron. Prior to linking up with Eisenhauer, he ran a successful catering business called…Divine Swine. Weekends still see him on the road cooking ribs and more for party crowds throughout the region. “Tim is a great guy. He’s definitely coming into his own as part of a brick and mortar operation instead of just an outside business. He’s making a big difference here. We work well together. We’re having fun and I think it shows in the food we’re doing,” said Eisenhauer. While the business is just a few months old, the owners are hitting the numbers they projected. With Marcus’ experience in catering, it’s also seeing a surge in that segment of the operation. “We will be doing a lot more cater-

I know there are several barbecue shops in town but we’re not trying to be them. We have barbecue burritos, barbecue tacos. I’ve even done a barbecue sushi roll with brisket inside with wasabi sauce. There’s going to be a lot of stuff you’re not going to see elsewhere,” said Eisenhauer. Catering is not limited to nearby offices. Weddings and special events throughout the area are calling on the restaurant to tend to their guests’ needs. Menus can be designed to match a customer’s desires. “And we can drop the food off, or they can pick it up. The chafing dishes can be returned by them or we’ll pick them up. It’s completely up to the customer,” said Eisenhauer. The shop is also developing an increasing amount of foot traffic from the town’s office denizens. The restaurant seats 15 people but many hungry workers simply pop in, order a carryout lunch and head back to their offices. “If you’re in our place 10 minutes, you’ve been in too long,” said Eisenhauer. One example of a unique dish created by the entrepreneurs is a ramen bowl prepared with rib broth and fresh vegetables. Customers select grilled pork or chicken to top it off or some even get it with baby back ribs. “It’s dishes like
that that are the fusion aspect of our food preparation,” said Eisenhauer. The restaurant recently received its ABC license to sell beer and wine. In addition to featuring Virginia wines, a selection of craft beers will also grace the menu. Pricing will be below what is typically charged for alcohol. “We want to serve craft beer for $3 or $4. Anywhere else it’s going to be $5 or more. We want to be a relaxed, funky little place where you can grab a couple of beers, get a good sandwich or some ribs, leave happy and you’re not broke,” said Eisenhauer. Since sauce is the heart of any barbecue operation, a selection is available to slather on the meats to your heart’s delight, including a South Carolina mustard sauce and a jerk sauce. They’ve even got a wasabi sauce. “Eventually we will have those items for sale so you can take a bottle with you,” said Eisenhauer. On Labor Day a new fan pushed away from the counter with a satisfied look on his face. “It’s my first time here and that pulled pork was delicious,” the customer said. It’s a common refrain heard by the barbecue mavens. For now, the hours at Divine
Swine BBQ and Deli will remain Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. but may expand to evening service in the future. For a full menu and fun facts on how the latest barbecue in town is prepared, drop by www.divineswine-bbq.com. For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com

Bank launches ‘Community Believers’ for nonprofits By Leonard Shapiro Contributing Writer
Sean Perry, the branch manager for Sonabank’s Warrenton and Haymarket locations, is definitely a true believer in his company’s recently launched Community Believers program. It’s designed to provide a customized package of financial products and marketing services to help Fauquier and Prince William nonprofit organizations grow and excel. The program evolved from Sonabank’s desire to build and maintain strong partnerships with nonprofits in communities where the bank is located. “We want to provide as many nonprofits as we can with these resources,” said Perry, a Fauquier native and Liberty High School graduate who lives in Bealeton. “As far as we’re concerned, the more the merrier.” The program came about after the bank, with $2.61 billion in total assets and $1.87 billion in total deposits, conducted focus groups with more than 25 nonprofits in the Richmond and Hampton Roads regions. They wanted to find out what nonprofits want in a long-term banking relationship and how the bank could help them accomplish their respective missions. “As a result of that in-depth research, we developed the Community Believers program,” said Joe A. Shearin, CEO of Sonabank. “We’ll
provide financial products, tools and resources to demonstrate that we understand their world and we support what they’re doing.” There’s no fee to Sean Perry enroll in the Community Believers program, and benefits include: • A dedicated website (CommunityBelievers.com) where participants can post volunteer positions and event calendar details; access a membersonly directory to collaborate with other nonprofits and share information; cross-promote volunteer opportunities with bank employees; request use of bank conference rooms for meetings during banking hours; meet with consulting and human resources professionals at Sonabank and more. • A loan program that will tailor a loan or extend a line of credit based on the nonprofit’s financial history, plans and capacity. • Nonprofits can give their employees free checking, refunds on ATM purchases nationwide and other benefits. • Sonabank’s local offices will select a “Nonprofit of the Month” to feature in various ways at the branch, providing an opportunity

to connect the nonprofit with the bank’s employees and customers. “These nonprofit organizations are improving the quality of life for individuals and families in our communities,” said Michelle Simon, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Sonabank. “Our goal for Community Believers is to make their work easier with effective banking solutions that address their current and future needs. We want to be right there beside them as a business partner, helping them achieve their financial goals and believing in them every step of the way.” Sonabank is a Virginia state-chartered bank with 38 full-service retail branches in Virginia, including Warrenton, Middleburg, South Riding and Haymarket. In Warrenton, Perry said, word
about the program is just starting to get out. One of the bank’s nonprofits benefiting from the program is Fauquier Community Child Care, which provides after-school care for a number of local schools. Two Sonabank employees, Megan Rive and Heather Kerns, have both volunteered their services and Perry is hoping to set up a financial education program for the youngsters. “We’re not trying to just make it about account structure,” Perry said. “We can give them a global perspective on how our bank can support them in what they’re trying to accomplish. Yes, we’re a business. But if you can do it with integrity and do it for the right reasons, success will follow. “Whatever you can do for these nonprofits, you just do it.” Reach Leonard Shapiro at badgerlen@aol.com
PATH Foundation offers funds for area nonprofits
The PATH Foundation is announcing up to $750,000 in available funds for general operations grants for qualifying nonprofits in Fauquier, Rappahannock and northern Culpeper counties. These funds will offer unrestricted funding for nonprofits to use toward general expenses such as rent, utilities and equipment. “The trend continues within charitable foundations of making sure to help fund nonprofits’ dayto-day operations, not only their programmatic efforts.

Criteria for the general opera-
tions grants is rigorous, with the goal of rewarding strong nonprofits. Areas of evaluation include governance, finance, programs and public disclosure. Organizations that currently meet or are working toward a majority of the best practices outlined in the guidelines are encouraged to apply for funds. “We want to empower exceptional nonprofits so they can expand the good work they’re doing in our area as well as continu[e] to develop a shared standard of best practices that can be a goal for all nonprofits, no matter their size or scope,” Connolly added. The deadline for applying for the general operations grants is Friday, Oct. 12. For more information on grant guidelines and principles of best practice, visit pathforyou. org/grants.

NEAR GOALS HOLDING EAGLES BACK Liberty field hockey team suffers another 1-0 loss
By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
The remaking of the Liberty field hockey team is going swimmingly despite the wet weather. The Eagles are 1-4, but three of those losses have been 1-0, leaving senior goalie Noelle Crane discouraged yet hopeful. “We play great games, but they are frustrating losses,” Crane said. “From my end, I can see how close they are. I can see how close the ball is to going in.” Eight seniors helped Liberty tie a program record with 10 wins last fall. Talent remains, but there’s a shortage of game experience. Liberty dropped a 1-0 home game to Osbourn Park last week. The Eagles have two goals in five games. Injuries have also played a role. Five varsity players missed the last

game, four with injuries and one due to a prior commitment. Eagles coach Katie Norman elevated three players from the junior varsity to have usable depth. “We’re young and shorthanded,” Norman said. “It’s a challenge to have these girls learn the game as quickly as they have to. But I’m very proud of them.” The Eagles have lost to Osbourn Park twice by 1-0 counts. In the last loss, Osbourn Park scored the lone goal with 11 minutes, 22 seconds remaining in the first half on a breakaway in the middle of the field. Liberty had chances in both halves to tie but could not convert
despite credible threats. Goalie Crane has a field-wide vantage point, and she sees how narrow some of the misses have been. “I think we have the confidence to win,” said the four-year starter. “It’s just the matter of getting that one touch.” Liberty was a bit sluggish in the opening 10 minutes against OP. For the remaining 50 minutes Norman liked her team’s fluidity. “That’s what’s frustrating. I was just telling the girls how well they are playing,” Norman said. The coach says continued hard work in practice is essential. She hopes all cylinders will be operational by the time the postseason portion of the slate begins Oct. 18. “I don’t think we have had a normal two-hour practice on our field in over three weeks,” Norman lamented. “Even this week, we are sharing the football field because our field is under water.
“We need to go into practice tomorrow and the next day to keep working on finishing. That’s the only issue at this point.”

Can Falcons keep pace with high-octane Pioneers?
EAGLES ERUPT IN 2ND HALF By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer
By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
The quick and agile Millbrook Pioneers average 42.3 points per game. So Fauquier coach Joe Prince hopes his triple-option offense can keep the ball out of Millbrook’s hands Friday at Falcon Field. “They’re very fast,” he said. “They’ve got some skill players and they’re putting up some points. … We’ve got to try to keep the big plays down. “Hopefully we can control some of the clock,” Prince said. “Try to maximize the time that we have the ball. … If they don’t have the ball, they shouldn’t be able to score.” Long passes, runs and kick returns hurt the Falcons last season in this matchup. The Pioneers led 14-13 early in the second quarter, then reeled off 24 unanswered points in a 53-31 win. “We played them tough and then we blinked and they were up 21 in three minutes,” Prince said. “They’ve got a lot of guys returning.” Millbrook earned the No. 1 seed last season for the Class 4 Region C playoffs before losing in the semifinals and finishing 9-2. Coming off a bye, the 0-3 Falcons hope to spring the upset. Fauquier has won three of the last four against the Pioneers, winning three in a row from 2012-14. The Pioneers’ lone loss this fall came against Loudoun County, 49-28. Fauquier also lost to Loudoun, 35-12, thanks to some turnovers. “Hopefully we can eliminate some of the mistakes we’ve made by laying the ball on the ground,” Prince said. “That’s kind of been our No. 1 nemesis so far.”
It was one of the strangest blowouts you’ll ever see. Chancellor and Liberty were locked in a tight duel before the Eagles erupted for a 5431 win last Thursday in Bealeton. After a shaky loss to Culpeper the previous week, the Eagles (2-2) re-established some confidence going into Friday’s rivalry game with Sherando (40), which has one its strongest teams in years. Liberty’s star of the game was unquestionably quarterback Raymond Morton, who completed 7-of-15 passes for 141 yards and four TDs and ran 10 times for 79 yards and a 6-yard TD run. “Raymond put the ball on the money tonight. He really threw the ball well. Our offense goes as Ray goes,” said coach Sean Finnerty. Chancellor took first half leads of 10-7 and 16-13 and forced Liberty to react to bruising fullback Trisshaun Scott, who finished with 16 carries for 139 yards, but ran just twice for 14 yards in the second half. “We were dominating,” said Chancellor coach Jeff Glassner. But the game turned quickly on the opening kickoff of the second half when the Eagles trapped Charger Kim Carruthers

Keith Kerr, 62, of Sterling competes in the Northern Virginia Senior Olympics cycling event at Vint Hill. He was fifth. Robert Causseaux, 73, of Marshall won the men’s 10-K and 20-K time trials for age 70-74. Betty Francis, 55, of Warrenton, won the women’s 20-K time trial in age 55-59. Diane Childers, 60, of Warrenton was second in the women’s 10-K for age 60-64.
STROMAN UPDATE New Redskin makes debut
Former Stonewall Jackson High star Greg Stroman, who was born in Warrenton, made his NFL debut for the Washington Redskins in last Sunday’s 21-9 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Stroman returned one punt for six yards and one kickoff for 16 yards.
ELDRIDGE UPDATE Former Cougar playing at JMU
Former Kettle Run football star David Eldridge has played in all three games for the James Madison University football team. He has four catches for 41 yards in the Dukes’ 2-1 start.
JOYCE UPDATE Former Falcon swimmer honored
A 2018 Fauquier High graduate, Kaitlin Joyce was named Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Female Athlete of the Year for swimming. Joyce was fourth on the team in points (233.00) with seven firsts, six seconds and six thirds. She set a school record in the 50 freestyle (24.17) and 200 free relay (1:35.15). A chemical engineering major, she made the Dean’s Honor List.
After Fauquier’s first four field hockey games, the opposition’s scoreboard still reads zero. The Falcon defense recorded two more goose eggs last week in improving to 4-0. Orange was a 1-0 victim at Falcon Field Sept. 11. Two nights later, visiting North Stafford fell, 2-0. Senior goalkeeper Taylor DeHaven recorded 10 shutouts last fall and has four this season. Defenders Madison Filson, Abigail Myers and Ashley Maldonado have been stout in denying shots. Coach Brooke Settle singled out Maldonado for an athletic save against North Stafford. A threat in the circle brought DeHaven out of the crease, with a ball getting through. Settle said Maldonado raced to fill the open goal, diving to stop the shot before it could cross the goal line. “If we had a player of the game, it would have been Ashley,” said Settle. After four games, the Falcons have outscored foes 20-0. Despite that glowing stat, Fauquier misfired on its first 17 chances before junior Ruby Wrigley scored the lone goal with 13 minutes left in blanking Orange, 1-0. “I think there is a level of frustration once you’ve played out [more than] seven corners and get nothing,” said Settle, whose team had a 21-2 advantage in penalty corners over Orange. “It was getting really frustrating,” Wrigley agreed. “Everyone was getting tired of not getting any goals in. It was crazy and ridiculous that we couldn’t get any in.” Wrigley converted a Filson pass from the center of the circle for her first-ever goal-winning goal. “My job is to get to the post and wait for a shot or rebound that I could potentially hit in,” Wrigley said. “It came right to my stick, and I just touched it in. It was a good feeling.”

Abby McCusker’s goal helped the Falcons down North Stafford 2-0. Fauquier (4-0) visits Woodbridge Wednesday and hosts Kettle Run on Sept. 25. Settle said Orange used a strong defensive formation. “They did pack it in tight; had nine players inside the 25 [yard line] every single time,” Settle noted, also pointing to the long grass and slick, muddy conditions. Against North Stafford, the Falcons sent 21 shots on goal after making changes from the Orange outing, and won 2-0. “That game went much better. I was much happier,” Settle said, crediting her team for “playing a little smarter. Jamie Renzi snapped the 0-0 halftime tie and Abby McCusker added a later insurance goal. Fauquier now has 10 players who have scored this fall. Settle said ball movement is key to this team’s success, making the contributions of good passers like Lucy Arnold, Ella Irvin, Meredyth Rankin and Filson important. “I’m there when they need me,” Arnold said. “I’m really good at seeing the field; seeing where to go to make opportunities. I’m good at transition and connecting passes to get us through.”

Tight Lines was unnerved by the waterfall obstacle. Virginia’s Lynn Symansky, a Vienna native and graduate “A” from the local Difficult Run Pony Club, was poised for top 10 after dressage and double-clear cross-country with Donner, a 15-year-old Virginia-bred thoroughbred. But Donner was clearly tense in the final show jumping phase, knocking down three rails to drop from contention. “I trust him and he trusts me,” said Symansky, at once disappointed with the problems Monday but proud of the gelding’s overall showing. “He dug deep for me.” “We’re just so excited she got to the championship,” said Madelyn Curto, one of nine in the Donner Syndicate ownership group. “I think Lynn works wonders with her horses.”

Broad daylight, big game for Kettle Run By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Handley (4-0) is aiming for its first 5-0 record since 2009 and first playoff appearance since 2013 when they went 7-4. Standing in the way is an upstart Kettle Run (4-0) squad that has dispatched Warren County, Brentsville and Culpeper. The teams meet Saturday at 1 p.m. in Winchester. “I think it will be our first kind of real test,” Kettle Run coach Charlie Porterfield said. “They’re very similar to us.” The Cougars and Judges have one common opponent. Kettle Run beat Warren County 33-7 with Handley winning 15-14. The Cougars lead the all-time series against Handley 5-2. “They’re big and physical,” Porterfield said of the Judges. “They’ve got good athletes and a lot of players on the team from last season.”
Three games played, four wins
The Kettle Run Cougars have won all three games they’ve played, so why are they 4-0? Their record includes a forfeit victory over Manassas Park, which canceled its season prior to the opening game. Coach Charlie Porterfield said the VHSL gave Manassas Park’s opponents the option to take a forfeit win or play a nine-game schedule. Kettle Run chose the former. “It was going to be only like 1.1

Brimming with confidence after another blowout, Kettle Run (4-0) hopes to keep rolling Saturday against Handley in Winchester’s scenic Handley Bowl. Game time is 1 p.m. points” different in the power point standings for the playoffs, Porterfield said, “but in this league that can make a difference between a home game in the playoffs and a game on the road.”
Cougars enjoy 41-0 Homecoming romp By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
Despite having their homecoming game moved from Friday to Thursday due to approaching storms, Kettle Run’s football fans filled the stands in Nokesville. The Cougars rewarded them with a 41-0 victory over Culpeper for a 4-0 start and a jubilant vibe in Nokesville. “When I first played we weren’t very good,” senior safety Jack Kroll said of Kettle Run’s consecutive 3-7 seasons before it went 9-3 last fall. “Everyone thought ‘Oh it’s the football team, maybe we will come out.’ Now it’s like the Friday night thing to do.” Kettle Run scored on its first drive for the third consecutive game and finished the first quarter with a 14-0 lead thanks to Shannon Ferguson’s 89-yard touchdown reception from Gabe Chumley.
“They are a quality football team who capitalized on our mistakes,” said Culpeper coach Ken Wakefield said. “We had turnovers, big plays and penalties at inopportune times. You name it, we did it.” Kettle Run began the game with a 77-yard drive in four minutes with Chumley scoring on a 2-yard run for all the points the Cougars needed. Led by Kroll, the Cougars’ secondary grabbed three interceptions with a bevy of pass breakups. “Our message all week was that this was going to be one of the better receiving corps we were going to play all year long from top to bottom,” Porterfield said. “This was our toughest offense we’ve had to play,” Kroll said. “They are more spread out and give us a lot of different looks. I will have to credit the defensive line [for] stopping the run early. Then we were all in the right places at the right times.”

Falcons volleyball went 1-3 against Millbrook last year
“I’m excited about the game, but I’m nervous.” – COACH DIANA STORY
By Fred Hodge
Special to the Times
Don’t remind the Fauquier Falcons about the last two volleyball matches with Millbrook. The Pioneers won both last fall to win the Northwestern District regular season and tournament titles. “I have an aggressive, potent group of girls who don’t like to lose,” coach Diana Story said on the eve of another high profile rematch with the Pioneers. The teams split regular season matches last year, but Millbrook went on to win the Region 4C title. The rivals met again Tuesday in their first battle for district supremacy. Fauquier visits Millbrook Oct. 11. “I’m excited about the game, but I’m nervous. This going to be a true test for us to see where we are and what we are ready to do,” said Story. “We know it’s going to be a dogfight, that’s for sure. It’s going to come down to who’s going to make the least amount of errors.” “We know what they’ve got,”

The powerful Fauquier volleyball team hosted defending Northwestern District champion Millbrook Tuesday. Handley visits Thursday. added Story. The Falcons entered Tuesday 2-0 in league play after winning at Sherando, 25-18, 25-15, 25-27, 2518, and beating Liberty at home 2518, 25-6, 25-14 on Sept. 11. Strong opening service by senior setter Megan Constantino powered early Falcon runs against Liberty. She ran off four consecutive points in both sets. Constantino also had
a five-point surge late in the second set and a four-point run in the third. She finished with a match-high 18 points with five aces. Jules Oravec and Molly Ayers both had 11 kills, followed by Kiki Scott with five. “Megan had a good all-around match,” Story said, noting her veteran Falcons have a distinct advantage over an improving Liberty program. “They are not as potent on of-
fense as we are or have the defense,” Story said before crediting Liberty coach Carrie Marek for the program’s reorganization. “They got some really good balls in, some good plays down,” Story added. “I think Liberty has gotten better and is on the right path. “I think Carrie is doing the correct thing. This is year two of her tenure, and if she keeps working with the way she is, she’ll get there.” The Falcons played more consistently two days earlier at Sherando, but the Falcons experienced a thirdset loss of focus while capturing their initial district win. “It was a learning lesson that they have to stay focused no matter who is in the game,” Story said. Scott had 15 kills, followed by Oravec with 11 and Ayers and Jennifer Adgate each with six. Constantino had 22 points and four aces. Fauquier also captured the junior varsity match against Liberty, 25-18, 25-19. In freshman play, the Falcons took the opening set, 25-9. Liberty held a 24-18 second-set lead before Fauquier tallied the final eight points to pull out the 26-24 victory.

Helping kids call for help Fauquier program brings 911 education to schools By Amanda Heincer Times Staff Writer
In his years as a Fauquier County 911 dispatcher, Joseph Murphy has taken many calls from children, some of whom don’t always know what to tell him. “In the 13 years that I’ve been here, I’ve taken plenty of calls from children and they don’t always know their address or their parents’ names or other things that could help us,” said Murphy, communications center supervisor for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. A program Murphy rolled out in local schools last year aims to address that problem. Through the “911 for Kids” program, Murphy visits local pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes to talk to kids about calling 911. Murphy said he got the idea last year after attending a conference and learning about similar programs in place in other jurisdictions. “I came back and started asking, ‘Do we have this program?’” Mur-
phy said. “We didn’t have anything like that.” So, he quickly went to work to develop the program he presented to the more than 800 pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students in Fauquier County Public Schools last year. In his visits, Murphy spends about 45 minutes talking to the children about 911, showing them a video about how to call 911 and answering their questions. His presentation covers what a 911 dispatcher does, when to call 911 and what to do when you do call, including reminders not to hang up, to provide their names and addresses and other important information. At the end of each presentation, the kids go home with a bag containing, among other things, coloring sheets, a letter to parents in English and Spanish explaining the program and a “Family Card” magnet. That magnet, with slots to write a child’s home address, parents’ names, parents’ phone numbers and and other important information is one of “the most important pieces,”
COURTESY PHOTO
Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office 911 dispatcher Joseph Murphy instructs hundreds of children about calling 911. Murphy said. He encourages parents to fill out the magnets and “put it on the refrigerator where kids can reach it.” The idea is to give children, even young children who may not be able to read yet, an easy way to access that important information in the event of an emergency. “They can grab the card, call 911 and read us the information, or for the kids who aren’t reading yet, tell us the letters,” he said. Reaction to the 911 for Kids program has been positive, Murphy said, and some schools he visited last year have already contacted him about scheduling this year’s visit. Kids seem to enjoy the program, too. In his office, Murphy keeps a binder full of illustrated thank-you
notes from students who saw his presentation last year. “That really makes you feel good about what you’re doing,” he said. Murphy, a father of four, said he enjoys visiting the elementary schools and getting the chance to talk to kids. “It’s really just about interacting with the community,” he said. Murphy’s goal for this year is to again visit all of Fauquier’s public elementary schools, but also to expand the program to include private schools, church groups and other interested groups.

Cut family conflict with quality time for kids So, the kids are back at school. It’s nice to get back into a routine. However, sometimes activities pick up speed in the fall, and you find yourself rushing here and there, short on patience, high on stress. One day runs into the next, and you find that it’s been a long time since you’ve had any quality family time. Maybe it’s difficult to get the kids to put down their devices. You ask how their day was and maybe you get a grunt in return, or a shrug of the shoulder. You wish things were different, but you don’t know what to do. So, you find yourself raising your voice, lecturing, punishing and experiencing the silent treatment in return. Wouldn’t it be great if things were different? They can be. You just need to make a few conscious changes. Anyone who has been a parent for any length of time knows that kids do not do what you say; they do what you DO. So simply by joining them, you create a camaraderie and closeness that will never result from a yelling
MARIANNE CLYDE match and a good stomp up the stairs. Of course, you want the kids to obey you. Of course, you want them to respect you. Of course, you want them to respond when you say something. Kids are not defiant just to be bratty. They are defiant and argumentative when they feel unheard and undervalued. This is not difficult to remedy. Remember, they are young and do not have the skills you have, nor the coping mechanisms. These must be taught; and they are best taught by example. If you want good conversation at the dinner table, don’t demand it; create it. When they become better conversationalists, getting them to talk about their day will be easier. They
must know that you value and respect what they say. You do not have to agree with it. You do not have to correct the grammar. You do not have to give them a reality check. You simply need to listen and be interested. Create fun opportunities for conversation. Perhaps you can each (not just the kids) take turns reading something from a joke book, the newspaper, YouTube, a “how to” book, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, National Geographic, the options are endless. Every night is someone else’s turn to bring an interesting tidbit to the table. These little snippets can create fun and interesting conversation. Another way to do that is to tell stories, one sentence at a time, one person at a time as you go around the table. Or you could choose little pieces of paper from a jar filled with things to talk about: things you are grateful for, your favorite animal and why, what you would do if you had a million dollars, what you would do if you found a stray cat and any other topic you like.
The key is to keep tense topics, like bad grades, discipline problems in school, eating issues, gossip, or complaints away from the table. They should be dealt with one on See CLYDE, page 18

Planning to travel? Keep safety in mind Having a few safety tips before you head out around the world is always a good thing. It’s true that everyone has a little fear of the unknown, but don’t let that stop you from taking your dream vacation. A trusted travel advisor can help ease concerns and get you traveling abroad and sailing the high seas in no time. Whether your excursion is within the United States or international, you must be intentional about safety. My top safety tips while traveling abroad (or anywhere): When traveling internationally, always take a picture of your passport on your phone. Also, bring one photocopy on the trip and keep another copy at home or give it to a family member or friend while away. When traveling within the U.S. or abroad, take a picture of your driver’s license on your phone. Why? If you arrive at your destination and your passport or driver’s license is lost or stolen, having a picture or even a copy can go a long way in helping you get back to the U.S. Pack more smaller bills than larger bills. Keep your money in a travel pouch around your neck or under your shirt. Utilize the safe in your hotel or state room. Make sure all valuables are
ALESIA HOUSE
safely concealed in your hotel or state room. Leave diamonds and expensive jewelry at home. You don’t walk the streets of D.C. at 2:30 a.m., so don’t walk the beach or streets of your destination at 2:30 a.m. Be smart and aware of your surroundings. Don’t get in an unmarked taxi; have your transportation prepared ahead of time. A travel advisor can plan your transportation with reputable companies to ensure you get to your destination safely. There are certain places where renting a car is not advised. On airplanes, be aware of your alcohol intake. Better to wait until you reach your destination, especially if you are traveling alone. Always call your credit card company before you leave and put a travel alert on the cards

you travel with – even if it’s only within the U.S. Using a debit card is not advised while traveling. Having a credit card or cash is much safer. If traveling on land and staying at a resort or hotel, have the address or phone number to your resort or hotel in your phone or wallet. Share your travel itinerary with a family member or friend not traveling with you. If traveling abroad, make sure you have everything you need to enter that country. Many require a tourist card. This is something you can usually do in advance. If not, you will need the exact cash at the airport to purchase it. Get travel protection or travel insurance. It is inexpensive and
will protect you, your items and the investment you’ve made on your vacation. Utilize the hotel’s front desk or the resort’s concierge. They can be a wealth of information and make you aware of unsafe areas. Stop your mail or have a trusted neighbor or friend collect your mail and watch your house for you. Last, but not least, have fun and just use common sense when traveling. Alesia House is a local travel concierge who can plan and orchestrate all the details of your vacation. Her goal is to help clients have stress-free vacations that will create lasting memories.Contact alesia@ ibooktravelforu.com or www.ibooktravelforu.com
Cut family conflict with quality time for kids CLYDE, from page 17 one with the child in question at another time, addressing the topic from a place of curiosity and validation, rather than accusation. (What happened? How were you feeling? Yes, I bet you were angry.) Kids have reasons for what they do; it’s just not always immediately apparent. And if they think you’re going to yell or punish them, they won’t tell you the whole story. Or they will lie as a measure of self-protection. If they feel valued and respected, they will return those feelings. You will be creating a safe atmosphere of comfort in communication before a crisis arises. They will want to talk because it’s fun and creative and builds confidence and trust. They will begin to see the value of putting their devices away. Yes, you will have to set that example. If after dinner is a “no device” time, that means you, too. If Saturday mornings are time for chores, then everyone does them, perhaps even together. If 4 p.m. is quiet time for reading or homework, maybe you too could sit down with a book. If you show them the value of time
together, stimulating conversation, teamwork, device-free zones, quiet time (even meditation), that will become their norm. But if you just keep telling them what they should do and how they should spend their time – when you don’t set the example – you are just setting your family up for conflict and frustration. Now, having said all that, yes, it’s reasonable to expect that your kids should listen to you and do what you say. Often, it’s a matter of life and death (don’t ride without a helmet; don’t ride in the street; use your seatbelt; don’t eat too much sugar). But if you create a respectful atmosphere of trust and joy, more often than not, they will want to do what you say, because they know you value them and believe in them. Try it on and see if it works.

Horses, hounds and heritage housed in Middleburg National Sporting Library and Museum a Piedmont pearl By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor
As with many historic buildings that house rich and beautiful things, the beginnings are often inspired by a vision. More than 60 years ago, in the town of Middleburg, a group of men had a vision, a dream that is now a reality. In 1954, four gentlemen wanted to consolidate under one roof and in one place, the vast volumes of literature focused on their love and passion of all things equestrian to include angling and field sports. Then president of the Orange County Hunt, George L. Ohrstrom Sr.; Alexander Mackay-Smith, editor of The Chronicle of the Horse; Lester Karow, of Savannah; and Fletcher Harper, Masters of Foxhounds Orange County founded the National Sporting Library. Much like Thomas Jefferson who sold more than 6,400 volumes of his own personal library to help rebuild the Library of Congress when it was burned by the British during the War of 1812, the foundation of this library is built on the sporting book collection of its founders and subsequent donors. When the British burned the Capitol building in 1814, the Library of Congress was housed within those walls. Some 3,000 volumes were lost to fire. The National Sporting Library now houses more than 24,000 volumes and has become a premier non-circulating research and resource facility for scholars, journalists and the casual visitor from around the world. From its inception as a library, the facility grew to now include the library and a museum that houses permanent and rotating art exhibitions. As an example, “The Horse in Ancient Greek Art,” ran from September 2017 to January of this year. Partnering with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, kindergarteners to seniors in high school and beyond were given a rare treat to learn about the Greeks and their relationship to horses as depicted on their pottery, paintings, coins and sculptures. Living in the Piedmont area of

Located in the historic town of Middleburg, the National Sporting Library and Museum can be mistaken for a large stately private mansion. But this building is open to the public and visitors are always welcome. Tours for large groups can be booked as well.

When you go
National Sporting Library and Museum 102 The Plains Road, Middleburg www.nationalsporting.org info@nationalsporting.org 540-687-6542 Open Wednesday through Sunday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Library is free. Museum admission: $10/adults, $8/seniors (65+), $8/youth 13-18, free/children under 12. Virginia, a place so rooted in the rich culture of all things equestrian, it’s hard not to know of someone not involved in some way with horses either riding, jumping, breeding, boarding, shoeing, selling tack or watching polo or steeplechase events. Still, even if you have no association with the horse world, a walk through the museum’s collections will most likely leave you breathless, amazed and appreciative of the bucolic scenes, the stately portraits, the tailored riders on their steeds in the countryside or the gentlemen in tweeds fishing. Many of the artists were often equestrians themselves. While clearing a jump elegantly is the goal, you will also see paintings where rider and mounts have parted ways. The building that houses the museum (once the original library known as Vine Hill) is a labyrinth of rooms and hallways. Some of the doorways are narrow and the wooden floors creaky but the light cascading in from the windows casts a lovely ambiance on the paintings and prints that adorn the walls. You may round a corner to find a group of youngsters or another with a couple taking a breather on a bench. As many have commented, when you first walk into the museum, you will be blown away by a 9-foot tall sculpture fashioned by British artist Nic Fiddian-Green. Called “Still Water,” it is a large horse’s head, made of hammered lead with copper
rivets resting on an oak base, bending down to drink. Gigantic in stature, the piece evokes an elegant slice of serenity capturing a quiet moment in the day of this equine beauty. Recommended not to touch but only to look, “Still Water” is an imposing sculpture certainly worthy to grace the entrance and an enticing teaser to the rest of the collections.
Beauty on the edge
One corner of the campus that you don’t want to miss is a visit to the F. Ambrose Clark Rare Book Room housed in the library. John Connolly, who has served as head librarian since 2014, is keeper of 350 years of equestrian history. He has a few secrets and, if you are fortunate to request, he may share a truly rare find called “fore-edge.” Curiously, some of the themes of these books are not equestrian, but they qualify to be in the collection because of a unique design feature. Press and squeeze gently the gold tinged edges of these rare books and a miniature painting will appear and disappear like magic, of riders going over a jump or another equestrian scene. While this unique design feature was originally credited to an Italian artist, in the 17th century, English bookbinders raised the bar. They discovered that if you painted on the slight edges of the pages, then gilded them, the scene would be undetectable when the book was closed only to be revealed when fanned slightly. “It was a popular design feature in the 1800s,” explains Connolly as if revealing an illusionist’s trade. “They must have had a lot of time on their hands.” Another rare treat is a July 1886 issue of The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine that includes an essay by Theodore Roosevelt called “Riding to Hounds on Long Island.” The National Sporting Library and Museum is roughly 42 miles See MUSEUM, page 20

In the garden with Bunny Mellon By Vicky Moon
Contributing Writer
The late Rachel “Bunny” Mellon, Fauquier County’s most celebrated gardener, was admired around the world in stylish and impressive circles beyond her own Upperville home Oak Spring, which she shared with her husband Paul Mellon. Gardens, horticulture and botany as well as garden design guided her passion along with art, architecture and antiques. Now the first book to focus on the gardens that Mellon designed, “The Gardens of Bunny Mellon,” has been published by Vendome and debuts in October. Written by Linda Jane Holden, the book is lavishly illustrated with her own garden plans, sketches, and watercolors, as well as with archival photographs and Roger Foley’s specially commissioned photographs of the gardens, farm, and horticultural library at Oak Spring. Holden’s text is based on extensive interviews with Mellon before her death in 2014 at age 103, as well as with the gardeners at the Mellon properties and at the White House. Although she had no formal training, Mellon amassed a vast horticulture library and read voraciously. She and her late husband, sportsman and philanthropist Paul Mellon, also maintained homes in New York,

Cape Cod, Nantucket and Antigua, and she designed the gardens at all of them. And all of them are included in this book. She also designed gardens for her dearest friends, including President and Mrs. Kennedy. At JFK’s request, she redesigned the Rose Garden and the East Garden (renamed the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden) at the White House, and at the request of his widow, she landscaped the JFK gravesite in Arlington National Cemetery and the grounds of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Hubert de Givenchy shared her love of gardens, and together they designed the formal and kitchen gar-
dens at his Château du Jonchet in the French countryside. They also oversaw the restoration of the Potager du Roi (Louis XIV’s kitchen garden) at Versailles. The late fashion icon designed much of her wardrobe, from her gowns to her gardening hats and smocks. “The Gardens of Bunny Mellon” is published with the cooperation and endorsement of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation in Upperville, the mission of which is to perpetuate and share Bunny Mellon’s residence, garden, and extensive library. The hardcover book is available for pre-order on Amazon. The book will be published Oct. 30.

Fauquier County Public Library now offers evening story time
An evening story time is now being offered at the Warrenton central library. Pajama Story Time is held Tuesdays, 6-7 p.m. Filled with stories, songs and activities, it is perfect for busy families and their children. “Story times are central to our mission,” said Dawn Sowers, Public Services Manager, “and are one of the best ways to foster a love of reading. With the addition of Pajama Story Time, commuting parents and others whose busy schedule doesn’t allow them to come to morning story times can also participate.” Reading to your child at home is important, and story times offered at your local library provide parents with additional support in raising successful readers and learners. Story times are great for parents and caregivers too, providing a social opportunity, and may introduce them to previously unknown authors and illustrators. Fauquier County Public Library offers various story times for children from infants through age 5. 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten – a program for children who have not yet entered kindergarten
- helps parents prepare children for school by offering young readers incentives as they reach reading milestones. The library also offers Sensory Story Time for preschool children with special needs. Paws to Read, a program in which children ages 5-10 read to trained and certified therapy dogs, helps children build reading skills and confidence and rounds out the story time offerings. Detailed descriptions can be found at fauquierlibrary.org to help you choose the right story time for your child. Library staff offers these suggestions on how to get the most out of story time: • Come Early: Arrive a few minutes early to enable you and your child to get comfortable. • Health and Safety First: Use the space outside the story
time area to park strollers. Toys, puzzles and snacks are best saved for after story time. To keep everyone healthy and happy, ailing children and parents are encouraged to join us when they are feeling better. • Join In: Sing, clap, play along and help your child do the same. Young children learn by doing and you are your child’s best role model. Joining in maximizes learning and fun! • Model Good Listening Behavior: Sit close to your child and be attentive to the presentation. Children take their cues from adults and seeing you engaged and enthusiastic will encourage them to be the same. Looking for a good book to read to your child? Check out Kiddosphere, a library blog written collections manager Jennifer Schultz, for book reviews and recommendations for children of all ages. Visit fauquierlibrary.org and search for “kiddosphere.” – Lisa Pavlock, Public Information Coordinator, Fauquier County Public Library

the death of their son in an automobile accident on Sept. 5. Theodore James was a talented, bright young man who enjoyed sports and climbing. He will be greatly missed by his parents, Kate and John, and his siblings. Our border collie, Dot, had been experimenting with napping in the cat’s bed. Not a good thing to do since the bed is really too small and the occupants (owners) are not pleased to have their territory infringed upon. Nothing is worse than a furious kitty! Who’s been sleeping in my bed?

Father James R. Gould, Pastor
While it is quite normal to experience feelings of numbness and emptiness following the death of a loved one, many survivors have difficulty facing these emotions. Grieving is a necessary and normal response because it is a coping mechanism that helps us to confront and, finally, accept our losses. However, if the symptoms of bereavement become excessive, it may be a sign to seek support. We all engage in the grieving process at our own individual pace. In time, we come to accept our losses and move to resume our former activities; however, if grieving individuals find that they are having an inordinately difficult time dealing with their losses, they can choose not to face them alone. A funeral service, whether traditional or more modern, has two functions: to bring grieving family members and friends together in support of one another during a difficult time as well as to acknowledge the death and lifetime achievements of an individual. If you are interested in making funeral arrangements for a loved one, we invite you to call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton.

She was born Christine Mary de Quervain Colley on July 1, 1930 in Norwich, England to Constance Mary Colley (Greenwood) and Alfred George de Quervain Colley. The eldest of their two children, she was pre-deceased by her brother, Alfred John de Quervain Colley as well as her second husband, Col. Austin W. Bach of Hume, VA. Mrs. Bach was an avid Equestrian. She was a member of the Old Dominion Hounds Hunt and an established riding instructor. Her love for horses began at a very young age in Shropshire, England. In her early twenties, she arrived in the United States to manage the riding program at the Woodhill Country Club in Wayzata, MN. She eventually became a U.S. Citizen. While in Minnesota, she met and married her first husband, George F. Piper III. Raising a family, she continued her love for riding by owning and operating a major riding facility with over 60 horses near Hamel, MN. There she taught lessons, boarded horses and ran competitive events. She was one of the Founding Members of the Long Lake Hounds, Minnesota’s only Fox Hunt. To this day, in their travels through the Upper Midwest, family will inevitably bump into someone, only to find out how “Christine” taught them to ride. She also trained and sold many competitive horses. One would represent the Canadian Olympic team. Mrs. Bach was a member of the ECW at Leeds Episcopal Church in Markham, VA where she and her husband Austin were most beloved parishioners. A life-long gardener, she was a member of the Blue Ridge Flower Club, and an active member of a local ladies investment group. She had a flair for art and loved to teach and share her knowledge and appreciation of beauty with others, especially her grandchildren. In keeping with her love of horses and Mrs. Bach’s tremendous support of worthwhile causes, she was a leading supporter of the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Wild Equine Program. She was a significant patron to the study of the Przewalski horse reproductive research at SCBI. The first foal ever produced in captivity through the program was named “Christine” for her invaluable contributions. In late 2012, Mrs. Bach was diagnosed with dementia and spent the past couple of years living at Commonwealth Senior Living in Front Royal, VA, where she was a vibrant member of their Memory Care community and received outstanding attention from her caregivers and friends. She is survived by her three children: George F. Piper IV and wife Janet, Orono, MN; Nina P. Hahler, St. John, USVI and John de Q. Piper and wife Tracy, Hume, VA, her grandchildren: George F. Piper V and Virginia C. Piper of Orono, MN and Katherine de Q. Piper and John de Q. Piper, Jr. of Arlington, VA. As well as her stepson, Kai V. Bach, Carrier, OK and stepgrandchildren Allan G. Bach, Mechanicsville,VA and Robert A. Bach of Cincinnati, OH. A Service of Celebration will be held for Mrs. Bach at Leeds Episcopal Church in Markham, VA on Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 2 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Blue Ridge Hospice Butterfly Club or the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) in Front Royal, VA in her honor.

Patricia Evelyn Gould Patricia Evelyn Gould, 89, of Tulsa OK passed away peacefully Saturday September 8th 2018 surrounded by family after a long struggle with heart issues. Patricia Evelyn Wenger was born in Toledo Ohio March 17, 1929 to the late Edward and Claire Wenger. Patricia attended Scott High School in Toledo Ohio marrying her High School sweetheart Robert P Gould in 1951. She spent the next 58 years with him until his passing in 2009. Wife of a career military officer she raised six children sometimes on her own when her husband was away on temporary duty for months at a time. During her husbands 18-month deployment in Vietnam her mother Mini Claire Wenger moved in to help with care of the children. Upon her husband’s retirement they moved to the Warrenton VA area, built a home near Hume and spent the next 15 years enjoying visits from family and friends. Patricia and her husband moved to Tulsa OK in 2007 to be closer to their daughters and more specialized medical care. Her husband passed away in 2009. Patricia remained in Tulsa until moving in with her daughter Susan Nossaman in nearby Broken Arrow OK in 2015. Patricia dedicated her entire life to her husband, family, friends and church. She leaves behind a legacy of love and caring. Through difficult as well as happy times she provided guidance, reassurance and an inexhaustible love. No greater example of love and support will be easily found. “Pat was an angel on earth and now is one in heaven! She leaves a huge gap in our lives that can only be built around[{e2}{80}{a6}] rather than filled,” Says longtime friend Shirley Kokesh Patricia is preceded in death by her husband Robert P Gould, her parents Edward and Mini Claire Wenger and her brother Howard Frank Wenger. She is survived by her six children Robert E Gould of Marshall VA, Scott P Gould of Hume VA, Christopher H Gould of Columbus Ohio, Patrick W Gould of Urbanna VA, Megan G Ulrich of Broken Arrow OK and Susan P Nossaman also of Broken Arrow OK and their families, 22 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. “We are forever better for having had this remarkable woman in our lives” A private graveside service will be held next Spring at Leeds cemetery in Hume VA Memorial contributions can be made to Compassus Hospice 8551 N 125th East Ave, Suite 250 Owasso, OK 74055 918-272-3060 hospiceangels. org compassuslivingfoundation.org
