Wittman, Williams clash on health care, tariffs in first debate By Karen Chaffraix and Jill Palermo Times Staff Writers

By his campaign’s own count, U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman has voted more than 50 times to repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act. But during his first debate with his Democratic challenger Vangie Williams Monday night, Wittman said he now supports retaining the ACA’s most significant achievements: mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions, allowing young adults to remain on their parents’ policies Rob Wittman until age 26 and forbidding lifetime caps on medical coverage. Williams, meanwhile, insisted health care is a

Planning commission OKs more data centers for Vint Hill Fauquier supervisors will have the final say By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

TIMES STAFF PHOTO/KAREN CHAFFRAIX

AHEAD OF SCHEDULE — Lane striping was expected to be done by the end of this week on Warrenton’s first

roundabout, putting the finishing touch on a project completed weeks ahead of schedule. The mini-roundabout, or traffic circle, is at the intersection of Falmouth Street and East Shirley Avenue. The estimated $420,000 project was half funded by the town and half by the state through VDOT — the Virginia Department of Transportation.

A move to allow more data centers to be constructed north of Vint Hill Parkway at Vint Hill has the backing of the Fauquier County Planning Commission. The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors will have the final say on the request filed by Vint Hill Village LLC and Vint Hill Land 1 LLC. The applicant is EFO Capital Management Inc. In the face of opposition, a previous proposal to construct additional housing on undeveloped land at Vint Hill was withdrawn. Vint Hill, formerly an Army base, is now home to a housing community, several small businesses, an FAA facility and an OVH data center. It’s also the future home of an assisted living and rehabilitation center for military veterans.

Wittman, Williams clash on health care, tariffs in first debate DEBATE from page 1 The two seemed to find common ground on immigration and climate change and both had strong words about the murder of Virginia resident and Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi earlier this month. Wittman called the Saudis’ claim that Khashoggi’s death was accidental “untenable, unrealistic and not truthful,” and said the U.S. Congress “cannot look the other way when it comes to this heinous human rights violation” and must hold the Saudis “accountable.” In response, Williams said she “couldn’t say anything more than

that,” adding that the Saudis have “fractured our faith in humanity.” Neither candidate mentioned the $1 billion arms deal the Saudi kingdom has negotiated with U.S. defense firms and whether it should be abandoned because of the murder, as some critics suggest. The 90-minute forum, moderated by UMW Professor Stephen Farnsworth with help from two Fredericksburg-area journalists, was mostly congenial. Williams wore a red jacket, her signature sartorial choice on the campaign trail, while Wittman wore a dark suit and a Trump-esque solid red tie. At times during the discussion,

Williams sought to put Wittman on defense by noting that some of the district’s long-term issues, including traffic congestion and uneven access to broadband internet, remain everyday annoyances for its 750,000 residents despite Wittman’s 11 years in Congress. She also called Wittman a “hidden figure” in reference to his refusal since Trump’s election to hold a public town hall. Wittman shot back by saying he frequently meets with groups in smaller settings and interacts with constituents regularly. He also offered lengthy explanations of various bills he has championed to address access to broadband internet and other issues, including the opioid addiction crisis.

Defense spending

On the recently approved $717 billion defense bill, Wittman defended the measure as “wise” and necessary to restore military readiness, which he said “has atrophied” in recent years. Williams, however, questioned whether too much of the money is diverted to corporations that supply arms and equipment while military personnel are underpaid. Williams also pointed out that Wittman has received more than $700,000 in campaign donations from defense contractors. “We have active-duty men and women in this district on food stamps.

We have veterans [living] below the poverty line. We also have active-duty men and women [living] below the poverty line,” Williams said. “The scary thing is, we don’t have a problem with our military. We have a problem with our congressman being beholden to corporate interests.”

Tariffs and $12 billion bailout

On the Trump administration’s moves to address trade imbalances with tariffs, Wittman acknowledged “deep reservations.” Still, he said the country must not forget China’s transgressions, including intellectual property theft and “the things they are doing to manipulate currency.” Wittman also credited President Trump for new trade deals with Mexico, Canada and Europe. “I’ve been adamant to say, listen, I have a different vision about [tariffs],” Wittman said. “But the president has taken that option and he believes it will be effective. I think time will be the ultimate judge of that.” Williams called the $12 billion farm bill “a quick fix to a problem we didn’t have before” and said Wittman didn’t do enough to stand up to the Trump administration against tariffs. “When the chips were down, Rob Wittman didn’t fight for the farmers in this district,” she said. “We deserve better.” Contact: news@fauquier.com

Warrenton Town Council moves to hire consultant to review town manager By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Town Council is advertising to hire an outside consultant to help with its review of the performance of Town Manager Brannon Godfrey. Godfrey received a one-year contract extension in January that gave him a $5,000 boost in salary to $155,000. At the time he was hired in 2015, Godfrey was serving as deputy town manager and interim town manager in Portsmouth, Virginia. He previously served as town manager in Culpeper and Winchester. Godfrey’s contract was extended in

January over two “no” votes, which came from then-Vice Mayor Sunny Reynolds, who lost her bid for re-election in May, and Councilman Brett Hamby (Ward 3). At the time, neither responded to emailed requests for comment. Godfrey’s contract runs through June 2019. A performance evaluation was part of the contract extension but had not been pursued until now. It’s not clear how much the review will cost. The town is seeking proposals from consultants able to conduct a “360-degree” performance review, which will include interviews with Godfrey’s subordinates. Town staff members inter-

viewed won’t be named in the final report. “The council would like feedback from the town manager’s peers and subordinates to provide meaningful performance discussions, and for consideration when developing performance measures and goals for the following evaluation period,” the advertisement states. Qualified consultants who have experience working with public agencies are to submit proposals by 4 p.m. Oct. 30. Council will consider the proposals on Nov. 8 and is expected to award a contract on Nov. 13. It wants a final report on Dec. 31.

Planning commission OKs more data centers for Vint Hill, supervisors will have final say DATA from page 1 “Water and sewer have now been extended and fiber has been laid,” to support the data center or a government use, as proposed by the landowners, said Holly Meade, assistant director of the Fauquier County’s Community Development Department. The rezoning application included a revised proffer statement promising to screen the data center site from public view. More information about architectural features of the new construction will be coming, she said. Residential development isn’t part of the application to revise the approved concept development plan,

she said. Melanie Whitesides of Vint Hill said she is concerned that a planned school site had been eliminated from the original Vint Hill plan. “Vint Hill is a perfect location” for a school, she said. Charles Floyd, who represents the applicant and landowners, explained the Vint Hill school site was “swapped” some years ago for one on Riley Road where Auburn Middle School is located. Floyd said there will likely be two electrical substations supplying power through underground transmission lines. The supervisors must also approve a special-exception permit for the substations, and a separate application will be filed for that, Floyd explained.

An 8.6-acre site for the substations is under contract for sale to NOVEC. “There is no other land at Vint Hill [suitable] for data centers,” Floyd said. “We don’t feel it’s appropriate to put them next to residential. It’s more appropriate in an industrial area. “Marketing the property is very difficult,” he continued. The county desires commercial development “but would not like to widen Vint Hill Road,” which is two lanes in that area. “At the end of the day, if there are refinements needed we are committed to making them,” Floyd said. “If we’re not going in the right direction I don’t know what direction to go in.”

Planning Commission Chairperson Adrienne Garreau, who represents Scott District, which includes Vint Hill, said Fauquier County benefits from the lower cost of land compared to its neighbors to the north and east, Loudoun and Prince William counties. Data centers “are not going to bring in thousands of employees. Our challenge are the roads and the desire to keep the rural feel,” Garreau said. She introduced a motion to recommend the board of supervisors approve of the concept development plan change and proffers. It was approved 5-0. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

Wittman prefers ‘common-sense conservative’ Five-term congressman touts his bi-partisan achievements on the trail By Robin Earl

Contributing Writer

Pushing away the label “moderate Republican,” U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman said he considers himself “a common sense conservative,” or “a get-it-done Republican.” “It’s something related to action rather than some of these descriptors that are more ideological,” he said in a recent interview. Wittman, 59, is running for a sixth term in the 1st Congressional District. His opponent in the Nov. 6 election is Democrat Vangie Williams. The 1st District includes parts of 19 counties, including four precincts in Fauquier: Bealeton, Catlett, Lois and Morrisville. In office since 2007, Wittman said legislating hasn’t changed much since then. “I think the essence of legislating is still the same. It’s still taking good ideas from people back home, putting those together in the form of legislation and then working with colleagues in Congress to be able to get those things done… That’s why I always look for a bi-partisan co-sponsor of legislation, so I am finding all the different opportunities for support out there.” Wittman cites several examples working alongside Democrats to

pass legislation. He is particularly proud of is the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2017. It recognizes the Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Upper Mattaponi, Rappahannock, Monacan and Nansemond tribes as sovereign nations. The six tribes, encompassing about 4,400 members, are now eligible for federal assistance in education, healthcare and housing, at a projected cost of about $67 million during the next four years. The Senate version of the bill, co-sponsored by Virginia Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both Democrats, passed unanimously Jan. 11. The bill was signed into law Jan. 13. Wittman said, “This fixes an injustice… Finally getting this through was very satisfying.” The funding was included in the Department of the Interior budget and in the House and Senate Interior Appropriations bills. (According to Wittman’s office, those funds have not yet been appropriated.) The legislation does not alter hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering or water rights of the tribes and their members, but it does prohibit the tribes from conducting any gaming activities.

COURTESY PHOTO Rep. Rob Wittman (R) is defending his 1st District seat against challenger Vangie Williams (D) Nov. 6.

Affordable Care Act

On healthcare, Wittman said his constituents are concerned about increasing costs for care and prescriptions. He promotes telemedicine as one possible tool in the battle to keep costs down, particularly in rural areas. Wittman has voted more than 50 times to repeal or amend the Affordable Care Act. The most recent time was May 2017 when the House passed a full repeal and replacement plan. Wittman’s office released this statement regarding healthcare: “By any measure, the Affordable Care Act has failed to deliver on its promises to lower costs, increase access to care, and expand choice. In fact,

the exact opposite has occurred. Congressman Wittman believes we need a patient-centered system that favors quality, choice and empowers individuals and families to make decisions for themselves based on what best fits their needs, wants, and budget — all while protecting folks with pre-existing conditions.”

Opioid crisis

Wittman said he also worked closely with Democrats on a bill to address the opioid crisis through the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The bill combines 50 separate pieces of legislation to address the epidemic, he said.

Passed earlier this month, the act provides $10 billion in federal dollars for states to use at the local level. It addresses treatment and recovery and recognizes opioid addiction “is not something you can incarcerate your way out of,” Wittman said. The bill also addresses prevention, including holding physicians accountable for over-prescribing opiates and looking at how illegal drugs find their way into communities. The bill “gives law enforcement the tools they need to fight the epidemic,” Wittman said, and encourages the use of “drug courts” that prescribe treatment rather than jail time.

Environment

As a scientist by education and profession, Wittman believes he is able to enrich the conversation on the environment. “It allows me to craft legislation to get things done and engage others to join me in that legislation,” he said. Wittman sponsored the Chesapeake Bay Accountability and Recovery Act, which defines how bay recovery efforts are applied and managed. Wittman worked with other members in Congress to pass the bill in 2014. Warner and Kaine co-sponsored the bill in the Senate. “We were able to make sure we were able to track where every penny goes to on bay programs,” Wittman said. “We were able to determine how much is spent and then determine, too, is it being spent the right way? Are we seeing results? If not, how can we do better?” Wittman said he also worked on several bills to preserve the nation’s wetlands and its wildlife refuges.

Senior citizens

As the national deficit has risen over the last year, some politicians are reportedly considering cuts to programs such as Social Security and Medicare, but Wittman said he’s not one of them. “I am absolutely opposed to that…. It’s our obligation to protect those benefits,” he said. Wittman said he is, however, concerned about having enough money to fund these programs in the future but did not say what changes he would suggest. “The Social Security trustees tell us we need to address Social Security in the long run… It’s really a simple math problem,” he said. “We have to make sure those systems take in enough money to match the number of dollars going out… I want to make sure we have those discussions to assure that Social Security is there for folks not only today, but when they need it in the years to come.” Wittman was quick to point out the recent 2.8-percent cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits, announced this month. “And if you are on the standard premium plan under Medicare, then you are not going to have additional premium costs, so you will get the full 2.8 percent literally in your pocket from the cost-of-living increases for Social Security,” he said.

How Congress functions

On Wittman’s website, it reads, “The era of government-by-crisis is over. It’s time for Washington to

commit to regular order, Constitutional principles and a government by and for the people.” Does he believe Congress is operating on those principles? “It has accomplished more of that this year than in the past,” he said. Wittman said he believes Congress needs to commit to do — at a minimum — two things: The budget and the appropriations bills must be completed on time. For five years, Wittman has been pushing the No Budget, No Pay Act, a bill that says members of Congress should not get paid if they cannot pass a budget by April 15. He also has crafted a bill called the Stay on Schedule (S.O.S.) Resolution. It states that members should not go home for August recess unless they get all their work done by the end of July. That means getting appropriation bills passed and avoiding continuing resolutions — and the threat of a government shutdown. “We need to get the job done,” he said. “Those are the things that we can do to really make Congress operate and function the way it should.”

Constituent concerns

When Wittman is out campaigning, he says his constituents ask him about issues that affect their families directly: the economy, education (both career and technical education) and healthcare. When it comes to education, he said, of the 7.1 million jobs open today, 75 percent do require a four-year college degree, but they do require a post-secondary certificate or credentials. Wittman said families want their children to have the skills they need for these kinds of jobs. That means supporting technical education as well as education for college-bound students. Because of its importance to education and to business, the accessibility of broadband internet in rural areas is a key priority for him, Wittman said. Wittman said he enjoys the chance to connect with his constituents on the campaign trail. “It’s been an exciting time; we’ve traveled across the district… We’ve gotten really great feedback,” he said. “The ideas that are the best solutions for the challenges this nation face are in the hearts and minds of the people back home. They don’t exist in the 90 miles of fantasy land that is Washington, D.C.” Reach Robin Earl at news@fauquier.com

One Stafford man arrested, another wanted in assault on Bealeton farm One Stafford man was arrested and another is wanted in connection with an altercation on a Bealeton farm that prompted four area schools to take extra safety precautions Monday. Fauquier County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the farm in the 5500 block of Liberty Road at 9:18 a.m. Monday for a reported assault involving a man with a gun, according to Sgt. James Hartman, spokesman for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. They arrived to find a 37-year-old man suffering wounds caused from being hit several times with a blunt metal object, Hartman said. Deputies also found evidence that a handgun was fired, but no one was injured as a result of the shooting. The man believed to be armed with the handgun left the scene before deputies arrived, prompting the schools in the area to take extra precautions. The schools included Liberty High, Grace Miller Elementary School, Cedar Lee Middle School and Southeastern Alternative School. The affected schools were notified they could return to normal schedules Monday afternoon. Juan Carlos Juarez, 41, of Stafford, was arrested and charged with one count of malicious wounding.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | October 24, 2018

Early voting is up, and that’s a good sign Early voting is on the rise throughout Virginia, according to a report by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project using Virginia Department of Elections data. The data shows a dramatic rise in the number of voters casting ballots ahead of the Nov. 6 Election Day compared to last year (Virginians may file absentee ballots in person if they have a valid excuse for not being able to vote on Election Day). This week is a particularly important time to know about early voting. By state law, all Virginia election offices must be open for early voting during the last two Saturdays before Election Day. That’s this Saturday, Oct. 27 and next Saturday, Nov. 3. The rise in early voting suggests voters are energized to turn out in the 2018 midterms. Typically, there is a significant drop in voter interest in non-presidential election OUR VIEW years, but many on both sides see a referendum on the Trump agenda and the recent Kavanaugh hearings as motivators. Statewide, more than 95,000 ballots have been cast so far, compared to 58,456 in 2017, a 63.6 percent change. That puts 2018 on a course to eclipse the 123,221 ballots cast in the 2014 midterms. Fauquier has seen an 81 percent change compared to 2017. No doubt the hotly contested race between Republican Denver Riggleman and Democrat Leslie Cockburn for Republican Rep. Tom Garrett’s open congressional seat has played a part in that. Regardless of the motivation, voting in all elections, not just the big ticket ones, is one of the pillars of good citizenship. We applaud the people of Virginia for their efforts to cast their ballots, particularly considering the state’s rules for early voting are somewhat more limiting in their excuse requirement. So, it bears repeating: All Virginia election offices must be open for early voting during the last two Saturdays before Election Day. That’s this Saturday, Oct. 27 and next Saturday, Nov. 3. In Fauquier County, the office of elections on Waterloo Road will be open for in-person absentee voting from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturdays. We hope that this energy continues into 2020 and beyond. Regardless of where one falls on the political spectrum, voter apathy is a plague on all our nation stands for. Please, get out and vote. It is our civic duty.

LOVE makes the town go ‘round!

Know the issues and vote Did you know the Trump Administration is trying to privatize the Veterans Administration? This is a travesty. Our armed forces, our veterans, every day, the men and women in uniform who protect and defend our nation now need protection from this administration. Did you know that this administration has gutted the Environmental Protection Agency? This administration has effectively reduced staff. It has undercut many of the provisions ensuring our water and air quality. Did you know that our president has told the Supreme Court to look at the state of Virginia moratorium on Uranium Mining? The state of Virginia wisely prohibits uranium mining. This type of mining will destroy our water quality and ultimately destroy Southside Virginia. There is no such thing as mining uranium safely.

Did you know this Administration added $3.8 trillion to our nation’s deficit to give this tax cut? Did you know that a second tax cut wanted by this administration would add an additional $3.2 trillion to the federal deficit over a decade? Did you know that parts Social Security and Medicare are on the chopping block to because of this tax cut? There is one chance to put some brakes on the dangerous policies of this administration — one chance — and that chance will happen on Nov. 6. We must VOTE. Leslie Cockburn must win in the 5th District. This administration must have a check on the extreme and often mean-natured policies. This is a democracy. This means, one group does not get to dominate. It means laws that reflect the common good.

Kudos to the Fauquier Times for your election coverage — articles and opinion pieces! I particularly appreciate your profile piece on congressional candidate Vangie Williams. She has a difficult race against incumbent Rob Wittman but is working hard to earn the votes of Fauquier residents by visiting the county numerous times, knocking doors, speaking with people and, more importantly, listening to our concerns. She’s an impressive candidate with a personal story that allows her to connect with the problems of everyday people. In all honesty, I didn’t vote for Williams in the primary. I wanted a candidate who was more of a partisan, a progressive Democrat ready to “fight” for the things I want. Since her primary win, I’ve come to believe she is the perfect candidate for this district! Williams calls herself a “fiscal conservative

with progressive values.” She is willing to speak with anyone across the political spectrum. She believes quality healthcare is a right not a privilege. Her proposed INVEST initiative gives a large tax break, not to those at the top of the economic scale, but to first responders, teachers, enlisted military and veterans. Citizens of the commonwealth take pride in the “Virginia way,” the idea that we can “disagree without being disagreeable” to work for the common good. I hope that Virginians in the 1st District will look beyond partisan labels and rhetoric, research positions and policies and vote Nov. 6 for Vangie Williams, the candidate who has demonstrated a willingness to work for the good of all!

of addicts throughout the United States have been helped by programs funded by Medicaid. The American Medical Association has stated “Medicaid makes sense as an effective, efficient and ultimately life-saving resource for patients living with opioid use disorder” (AMA Wire, Sept. 19, 2018). Indeed, some researchers have gone so far as to declare that Medicaid is the single most potent weapon in the fight against the opioid epidemic in this country. Which leads me to ask, if politicians like Denver Riggleman are so keen to address the opioid crisis in Virginia why is he so against the expansion of Medicaid in the state?

Celebrating Cedar Lee Middle principal October is National Principals’ Month, a chance to celebrate and say “thank you” to principals in our communities. I’d like to acknowledge the important work of Principal David Lee at Cedar Lee Middle in Fauquier County. Across Virginia, more than 300,000 children live in households that struggle with getting enough to eat. We know “Breakfast After the Bell,” a program that increases access to school breakfast by making it a part of the school day, is a proven way to help end childhood hunger. There are also academic benefits: Research indicates that eating breakfast at school helps children improve classroom performance, attendance and promotes healthy habits.

When Principal Lee learned about Breakfast After the Bell, he knew it would be the perfect option for his eighth graders who arrived at school at 7 a.m. and didn’t start lunch until noon. Soon after, Principal Lee rolled out a mid-morning breakfast program and saw participation skyrocket. He’s currently working with the school to bring breakfast to sixthand seventh-graders as well. Principal Lee’s collaborative spirit and commitment to food access allows our Fauquier County students to reach their full potential. Claire Mansfield state director, No Kid Hungry Virginia Richmond

‘I participate in shows out of the pure love of my dogs’ By Angele Cipriotti Hear Our Voices

Focusing on my grades and school work is always at the top of my priority list, but just below that is my passion for dog shows. Most of my peers don’t know I participate in this unusual hobby, but when I’m not at school, you’ll most likely find me devoting my time to my dogs. Now the real question is, what is a dog show? Do I train my dogs to jump through hoops and do tricks? The answer is no. I choose to devote my time and heart to conformation showing through the American Kennel Club. If you’ve ever seen The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that airs on television every year from Madison Square Garden in New York, you may have thought “This is so silly, why would anyone do this?” So why do I devote my time and effort to something that looks so silly? I participate in shows out of the pure love of my dogs. The depth of showing dogs is also for the preservation of breeds, making sure certain breeds are growing and breeders are being responsible by producing healthy animals that are sent to caring homes. My family breeds, trains and shows Great Danes and Boston Terriers. The size difference seems worrisome, but ironically, they’re a good match. Although small, Boston Terriers are tough dogs that can stand their ground among our much larger Great Danes. I compete in Junior Showmanship, which is for junior handlers between the ages of 9 and 17. Junior handlers are judged based on their dog-handling skills, rather than whether their dogs meet the breed’s standard (conformation). As a junior handler, I have grown up inspired by

older kids and adults, working hard so I could be just like them. Though I still look up to those who inspire me, I have noticed some junior handlers are now looking up to me. Knowing I am a role model to younger kids has left me satisfied and honored. I want to show kids they can be confident and passionate; that they can achieve anything even if people doubt them; and most importantly to be kind to their fellow competitors. I’ve grown up in this community, and it has taught me valuable life lessons. The dog show community taught me how to be professional, how to speak to adults and how to be a responsible, patient competitor who wins with grace and loses with dignity. My main show dog is a Boston Terrier named Maverick. We have an unbreakable bond that’s clear to anyone who watches us. Dogs want to please and have your attention. Mav does that and more. He enjoys showing for anyone, but for me especially. When I don’t go to a show, my mom, Brittany Cipriotti, shows him and always does a fantastic job presenting him, but what I find funny, when I am at a show, is people will come up to me and tell me Maverick performs better for me. Clearly, he loves me a lot by the way he responds to me. The love between Maverick and me is the most satisfying feeling. Everyone deserves a Maverick in their life. I have had the opportunity to fly all over the country because of dog shows. Recently, I had the experience of visiting Amsterdam for the World Dog Show that had an unimaginable 34,000 dog entries. It was incredible not only because of the show but experiencing the world outside of the United States. I am incredibly grateful for my dog show experiences, and I am

Angele and Maverick confident I will use the vital lessons showing has taught me all my life. Little or small things in your life indeed have a lasting impact. Take time to reflect on how things impact your life and see how you’ve grown. I encourage any young kids out there to participate in dog shows, it is truly a welcoming community. Kids interested in learning about dog showing can contact the Warrenton Kennel Club through their Facebook page. We want to give young readers a platform to use their voices!

Cybersecurity: Countering a clear and present danger Warrenton resident leads collaborative effort to protect small businesses

(such as #! % *) and a number. • Scan your computer for viruses, spyware and other vulnerabilities on a routine basis. • Visit only websites you trust, open only emails from known contacts.

The nightmare is all too real. A small business powers up its computer and prepares for a day of commercial gain. But something is amiss. The computer is operating, but access to critical files appears to be frozen. Then the dreaded email arrives. Pay now or lose all your data. Another victim held for ransom. The world of hacking is an omnipresent danger in our modern digital world. From the loss of personal information to threats against national security, there is seemingly no limit to the destructive force of those intent on causing harm. But the danger to small firms is particularly pernicious. To whom does one turn to pursue the bad boys if the attack is launched against a company with limited resources? A 21st century Jesse James, without horse and gun, has you standing next to your computer with your hands held high in the air. The solution? Pay the requested $5,000 or more in Bitcoin and move on. “Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to small businesses. Someone can totally freeze your computer by encrypting the data and forcing you to pay a ransom for the keys to get it back,” said Charlie Tupitza, CEO of the National Forum for Public Private Collaboration. But why not call the cops? Because the local police and the county have no jurisdiction. Call the FBI. About 99 percent of cyber attacks are below the threshold Feds will respond to. You’re on your own. Tupitza, 63, and a longtime resident of Warrenton, has spent his career supporting small businesses that do not have the resources to protect themselves. “Professionally I’m in the middle of the cyber war. And we truly are at war. Right now, small businesses are being attacked by organized crime and nation states because they have a lot of information. And because they are often the gateway to larger businesses,” said Tupitza. The gold in the hard drives is intellectual property rights, financial holdings information, government contract data and much more. Criminals might attack a number of small firms holding government contracts to aggregate the data for illegal purposes. Moreover, such attacks may not result in a demand for ransom because the hackers are after bigger fish and might be simply using several small-

Warrenton resident Charlie Tupitza offers tips to help small businesses avoid cyber attacks. er fish to tap into the supply chain of information they are really seeking.

Collaborative effort

Given the challenges facing smaller entrepreneurs, creating a “circle-the-wagons” approach could tap into many sources for the benefit of all, Tupitza said. Among many of his cyber activities, he has sponsored conferences where there were no main speakers. Rather, representatives from both small and large firms gathered to share ideas for the commonweal. “We don’t want to delve into a specific company’s business. We want to keep the conversation at a common level and share good practices among all the participants,” said Tupitza. “Picture 64 people in a room divided into tables of eight. Each participant has one minute to state why he or she is there and what they expect to get out of the meeting. We want everyone to come down from the cyber summit into the fertile valley of collaboration,” added Tupitza. The result generates numerous ideas and recommendations for combating digital threats. While there are insurance firms offering policy protection from attack, Tupitza highlights how such apparent help can be destructive. “Some firms ask you to complete a detailed survey of 60 to 65 ques-

tions about your system. It may take two weeks to compile. And you may have very little knowledge about what you’re actually answering. If your agent asks more than five or six questions about your system, don’t answer them. You may make yourself even more vulnerable to attack.” Tupitza also regularly meets with a host of federal agencies to help them align messaging coming from the federal government to small businesses. “Cyber is confusing enough. Companies hearing from government agencies, lawyers, accountants, consultants, product providers and others make it very confusing to figure what should be done.” Tupitza also seeks to align insurance industry messaging with both federal standards and product and service providers to make the subject matter easier to understand.

While cybersecurity is clearly a passion for Tupitza, it is not his end all. “I am very energized and I don’t see myself slowing down on the subject of cybersecurity. There is so much need for small businesses to have help and it’s so much fun to contribute. But, I also believe sitting kills.” It’s obvious his life does not begin and end in the digital world when you consider the complete man. Married and a resident of Warrenton, both of his children are graduates of Fauquier High School. Let’s take a deep breath and see how Mr. T spends his off hours: Coached youth soccer in Warrenton for four years and six years in Reston; board member of the local Special Olympics; hosts a weekly Christian men’s breakfast group; active member of Hope Christian Fellowship in Vint Hill; member of the Samaritan’s Purse program helping people in need after natural disasters; hikes, bikes and plays disc golf; member of the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championship Committee; and founded the Warrenton Masters swim team. And yes, still works full-time. “Most importantly, however, is my faith in God, love of family, helping others and supporting small businesses. I am blessed with good health and good friends,” he said. Indeed, Tupitza embodies what makes Fauquier County a valued place to live and work.

Middleburg Juice Company becomes Greenheart Juice Staff Reports Middleburg Juice Company started operations in February of this year. Made from fresh ingredients, the chilled bottled green juice is delivered directly to your home or office. Last week, founder Matt Cahir announced changes. “Thanks to our customers, we are quickly growing to be a leading home delivery juice company in the mid-Atlantic. The guiding principle has always been to make the very best product from the very best ingredients, and remain focused on delivering the very best customer service. As the company has grown, we have continued to refine our operations and products while remaining vigilant about our guiding principles, and it is those improvements we would like to communicate today,” wrote Cahir in a press release. “Starting today we have moved to a new glass bottle. The new bottle has a capacity of 18 ounces, the same as our previous bottle. It has a much easier to open steel cap than the bottles we had used since inception. We will be recycling them but not reusing them. We have moved away from an imported bottle, where quality was harder to

We are still happy to collect the bottles, but it is also ok if you use a recycling service,” added Cahir. From the beginning of his operations, Cahir was already in discussions with another local juice company, Greenheart Juice Shop, a prominent presence at many of the farmers markets and also operating two stores. The Leesburg store is right beside Mom’s Apple Pies and the Great Falls store is next to Katie’s/Old Brogue in the Great

Falls Village. Greenheart Juice Shop features a wide range of juices, nut milks, smoothies and bowls. “We have decided to merge our companies. It means you can buy the famous Middleburg Green Juice under the label “MJ” in the stores and the full menu of juices, milks, and granola becomes available for delivery to our Middleburg Juice customers. Middleburg Juice Company will now operate under the name Greenheart. This is a great outcome for our customers, and we recognize the feedback we got about extending our range of products and store locations where our customers could pick up our products,” said Cahir noting that a large number of customers had inquired about a juice cleanse. “I am happy to report Greenheart is regarded as the leader in this area of the market. They can be ordered on the Greenheart Juice Shop website (greenheartjuiceshop.com). Greenheart products can be ordered through their website and if you send a note with the order they can deliver or you can pick up in the store. In the same release, Cahir stated that their processing has been moved to the plant in Great Falls. Juice will continue to be pressed on a daily basis

and delivered to customers as it is now. “If that wasn’t enough, we are moving into the premises previously occupied by Brassica’s in the Aldie Village on Route 50. We will have available our full range of juices, nut milks and granolas, as well as smoothies and bowls. After some renovation during the winter we will serve the healthiest and tastiest breakfast in Northern Virginia. We will let you know about that in the coming months. We will also be leveraging the large vegetable garden behind the store in our products as well as local farms,” said Cahir noting that the Aldie location opened Oct. 20. “This is a really exciting time for our company and something we wanted to thank our customers for. We are building a range of super healthy products, made fresh and delivered to your home or business. We would really appreciate your continued support, and would strongly encourage you to try our combined range of products,” said an enthusiastic Cahir.

New rules for short-term rentals on hold for further review By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Planning Commission and county staff will further review proposed rules for operators of short-term rental properties after officials received pushback from several speakers during a recent public hearing. The county currently has about 117 short-term rental properties without a permit listed with Airbnb, VRBO and Flipkey, among others. The county has received anonymous complaints about some of them, mostly about unknown cars traveling to and from the properties regularly. A proposed zoning text amendment would require a special permit if

the owner/property manager doesn’t live on-site while the property is rented and doesn’t occupy a property for more than 183 days a year. A shortterm rental is defined as lodging for fewer than 30 consecutive days in exchange for a charge for occupancy. Other requirements under consideration, include: • Limiting the rental occupancy of an accessory dwelling to a maximum of three people. • Requiring property owners to register the rental use annually with the county’s commissioner of revenue and pay any transientoccupancy tax. The county has a 2-percent tax that applies to areas outside of Warrenton, The Plains

and Remington. • Requiring that owners provide one parking space per rental room • Requiring owners to follow rire protection and safety standards • Requiring owners to obtain a shortterm rental permit valid for one year. The permit could be revoked if standards aren’t met or if there are two substantiated complaints within a year. The proposed amendment faced criticism from lodging operators during a public hearing held during the Oct. 18 planning commission meeting. Rob Cunningham said he and his wife are rated “five-star super hosts” by Airbnb. They “self-police” to avoid problems with neighbors. They consider the proposed county amendment “typical government overreach that will disincentivize 95 percent of the rentals.” “This is a proposed cure looking for a problem,” Rob Cunningham said. The Cunninghams live in West Virginia and have rental properties in that state as well as Virginia, but none in Fauquier County.

“Please let us run our businesses the way we know how to do,” Linda Cunningham said. Geoff Lindsay, who lives on Leeds Manor Road in Markham, said he rents to short-term lodgers on his 11-acre property. Many come to visit the area’s wineries. “Airbnb has rules. It vets the guests and we’re vetted,” Lindsay said. Marshall District planning commission representative Bob Lee suggested leaving the public hearing open. “This is a new venture for Fauquier County. In other jurisdictions, some [regulations] are similar, others are different. Doing this right is more important than doing it fast,” Lee said. He suggested the commission work with staff on the proposal and get more comments before proceeding with a vote. The board of supervisors will have the ultimate say on what is adopted after the planning commission makes a recommendation. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com.

Northwestern District runner-up Liberty looks to repeat as 4C champion By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The interchange will continue at least another week.

The Colonels won the district title 238-226 over runner-up Liberty at Kettle Run after the Eagles defeated them only four days earlier in a regular season invitational. “We’ve been competing all year within half-points of each other, so I really wasn’t surprised James Wood won,” Liberty co-coach Katie Waddle said. “They looked really good tonight. … I was really impressed. “It comes down to what [type of] team shows up for us,” she said. “What are their attitudes before they hit the floor?” Kettle Run added a fifth-place finish, missing the region cut by only

That’s what we go for every time.” So Liberty will travel to James Wood on Oct. 24 for the region meet. Last season, the Eagles won the 4C championship with a score of 235.5

after also winning a district title. “We have the toughest region in [Class 4]. It’s insane,” Waddle said. “We just really have to be clean … and we need to add a couple elements of difficulty to try and make up points where we’re lacking in tumbling.” The Eagles usually compensate for potential tumbling deficiencies with the cheer aspect of their routine. “We cheer, I think, better than anybody else,” Waddle said. “Making what you do look breathless is

what scores well.” Only the region champion and runner-up will advance to the Class 4 state meet, but Liberty has the pedigree, having qualified each of the past two seasons. The Eagles finished fifth at state last season after placing second at the 2016 4A meet, giving the Eagles their fourth top-three state finish in program history. They previously won the 2001 and 1999 AA state titles with a runner-up finish in 2000. Following last season, Liberty lost five girls to graduation and it has only four seniors, including Paige Kyle, Sparkle Dantzler and Taylor Cash. They lead a team that also features 10 juniors. “They bring a lot to the table, and without them on the mat the routine wouldn’t go,” Waddle said. “Cheer is so hard because you don’t have four quarters and you don’t have an hour to play. You’ve got three minutes and you’ve either got [your best] in those three minutes or you don’t.”

Fauquier wins district tourney title in overtime By Fred Hodge

Ruby Wrigley (12), Lindsey Finks and the Falcons can celebrate after winning the Northwestern District tournament championship Monday.

Fauquier coach Brooke Settle was not concerned Monday when the Falcons’ championship game entered sudden-victory overtime. They had battled Culpeper to a scoreless draw through 60 minutes in the Northwestern District field hockey tournament final, and the Blue Devils’ pressure seemed to create some anxious moments in the final five minutes of regulation. But the teams began the 7-on-7

overtime with Settle expecting the Falcons’ athleticism to give them the win, which it did, 1-0. “I thought we had the faster team,” Settle said afterward. “They have some big hitters with big drive hits, but I think we had better speed. “So I was looking forward to an open field,” she said. Her confidence paid off with a goal 12 minutes, 35 seconds into the 15-minute extra period. Junior Ruby Wrigley blocked an attempted CulSee FALCONS, Page 15

Fauquier 44-14. Week 9 standouts: Linebacker Mark Southard had at least three tackles-for-loss, including a sack, while running back Ridge Scott had 94 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. Notes: With three victories, the Colonels have their best season since going 5-5 in 2014, but they haven't had a winning record wince 2010. A Kettle Run victory would give the Cougars their second consecutive nine-win season.

By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

The Liberty Eagles tried to invert their misfortune Friday with a reverse. It didn’t work. Midway through the fourth quarter, after exhausting most other options for their largely ineffective offense, Wyatt Hicks took a hand-off from Raymond Morton and ran right. Then he pitched the ball to Justin Lawson, who sprinted in the opposite direction toward the left sideline. But Kettle Run’s defense quickly cut Lawson off. So he redirected back to the right before Cougars safety Jack Kroll burst through an opening and spun the Liberty junior down for a 2-yard loss. That sequence summed up the Eagles’ offensive ineffectiveness most of the night against a stout defense that led Kettle Run to a 33-14 victory on the road in Bealeton. “We didn’t block well, we didn’t run well, we didn’t throw well, we didn’t catch well,” Liberty coach Sean Finnerty said. “Offense did not play well. “There’s a lot of miscues that are on us, but I’m definitely not taking anything away from” the Cougars, he said. “Kettle Run’s got a great defense.” The Cougars showed that by limiting Liberty to 199 yards of total offense, which included a 52-yard touchdown reception (on a short sideline route by tight end Jordan Mighty) during the final 25 seconds of the fourth quarter. So the Eagles amassed only 147 yards and seven points over the first 47 minutes, 35 seconds. Senior linebacker Walton Thompson

helped Kettle Run amass 13 tackles-forloss, including two sacks. “In my opinion, our defense might be No. 1 in the nation,” an enthusiastic Thompson said with a heavy layer of hyperbole. The Cougars, tied for No. 3 in the latest Class 4 Region C standings, have allowed only 12.9 points per game (excluding a forfeit win over Manassas Park) en route to an 8-1 record, while No. 7 Liberty fell to 4-4 after winning three of its past four games.

Fauquier eyes volleyball title

Region quarterfinals begin today FALCONS, from Page 13

By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

On Thursday, all fans of Class 4 Northwestern District volleyball will likely focus on Warrenton. The James Wood Colonels will play at Fauquier in a contest that will probably decide the regular season championship. Both squads entered this week with one district loss, but James Wood had to play defending district champion Millbrook on Tuesday (after Fauquier Times deadlines). Regardless, a Fauquier victory Thursday would earn them the title, the top seed for the start of the playoffs Monday and an automatic region berth. A Falcons loss would give James Wood the championship unless the Colonels lost to Millbrook on Tuesday, which would create a three-way tie atop the standings. Fauquier’s lone district loss came at James Wood, 3-0. Fauquier coach Diana Story said her team did not execute well that night, citing off-target hitting and an unusually ineffective defense. “They were on and ready to play,” Story said of the Colonels. “That’s a deadly mix.” But she said Fauquier has made continued improvements since that night. “We have to come in and be ready to play,” Story said of the rematch. “Now we have to finish what we want to do.”

Megan Constantino and the Fauquier Falcons remain atop the Class 4 Northwestern District standings. Last week, Fauquier kept its spot atop the district standings with a pair of victories. Host Handley fell, 25-9, 26-24, 25-15 on Oct. 16 before the Falcons beat Kettle Run last Thursday for Fauquier’s Think Pink breast cancer aware-ness night. The Cougars lost 25-9, 26-24, 25-10 despite entering the night having won three of their past five matches to climb into fourth place. “We’ve been working hard to play better, and we have,” Kettle Run coach Janelle Sutliff said. “So it was disappointing. “There were too many runs, and we couldn’t keep serve,” Sutliff said of the Falcons’ strong service game and bevy of hitters. “We had moments of glory. There just weren’t enough of them.” The Falcons established a 12-5 first-set lead off Jukes Oravec’s fiveSee FAUQUIER, Page 16

peper pass in the Blue Devils’ defensive end and headed goalward with the ball inside the right half of the circle. “I took it straight in and I saw Lucy” Arnold, Wrigley said. She reacted as the defense collapsed on her by sliding a pass to Arnold for the winning goal that boosted Fauquier’s record to 10-5. Wrigley “was working so hard to get around two players and the goalie,” a beaming Arnold said of moving un-guarded into the center of the crease. “I was wide open right in the middle. So the Falcons won the tournament title. “I was so relieved,” Arnold said. “Culpeper is such a good team. So to be able to hit the back board the only time in the game was so nice.” The result was especially satisfying for Wrigley, who recently returned to the field after missing more than two weeks due to injury. Wrigley and Arnold also helped the Falcons threaten five times earlier in overtime. “We have fast, fast feet,” Settle said appreciatively of the overtime pressure. Defensively, Fauquier goalie Taylor DeHaven posted her eighth shutout of the season. So the Falcons were the lone team to blank Culpeper this season, doing it twice in five days. On Oct. 17, Fauquier handed Culpeper its lone district loss in the regular

season, 1-0, during the Falcons’ Senior Night. They scored the winning goal with 2:40 remaining in the first half on a penalty corner situation. Madison Filson rocketed a pass from the top of the circle toward the right post. The ball found fellow senior co-captain Meredyth Rankin, who redirected it over the goalie’s left shoulder.

Liberty vs. Kettle Run

Liberty tallied a season-high five goals Monday to beat Kettle Run for the third time this season, winning 5-1 in the tournament consolation final for third place. Daphne Daymude recorded three goals, with Abby Keller and Gretchen Thomas finding the cage once each. Eagles Jordan Cabanban and Kaila Lacey had assists, while Paige Proctor scored the Kettle Run goal. Previously, Oct. 18, Liberty lost to Culpeper 2-1 after defeating Kettle Run 3-1 on Oct. 16. Against the Cougars, Thomas scored two goals with assists by Emma Miller and Cabanban, while Proctor accounted for the Kettle Run score. This week, the 10-team Region 4D tournament quarterfinals will begin Wednesday with No. 7 Liberty hosting No. 10 Park View at 6 p.m. The winner will play at No. 2 Heritage in the semifinals Thursday. No. 4 Fauquier and No. 6 Kettle Run earned quarterfinal byes. So the Falcons will host No. 5 Loudoun County at 6 p.m. Thursday, with Kettle Run traveling to No. 3 Woodgrove.

Undefeated Wakefield wins DAC boys soccer title By Jeff Malmgren and Josh Dorsey The Wakefield Owls clinched the Delaney Athletic Conference regular season championship Thursday with a 3-1 win over Seton’s boys soccer team at home in The Plains. So they will enter the playoffs with an overall record of 11-0 despite falling behind 1-0 against the Conquistadors. Wakefield tied the score about 15 minutes later with a goal by Bobby Guiney to make the score 1-1 at halftime. Then Kaleb Torrence scored the winning goal with an assist from Farmer Stubblefield. About eight minutes later, Peter Kong added a goal.

The Falcons (0-8) failed to win their first game this football season, but their coach, Joe Prince, left Winchester with an appreciation for how much the Colonels (3-5) have improved since last fall, when Fauquier defeated them 38-8. “They just pounded us,” Prince said of the Colonels. “They are huge. “I was trying to tell our team to learn from that and get into the weight room,” he said. “We have to make sure we get bigger for next year. … If we get strong then we are going to be much better.” Fauquier will possibly have 20 returning starters next season from a 2018 team that has only 28 play-

Highland girls cross country 2nd in DAC meet

The Highland girls placed second Oct. 16 during the Delaney Athletic Conference’s No. 3 race of the regular season at Tandem Friends in Charlottesville. “Apparently benefited from a week off of racing,” said Hawks cocoach Preston Miller, whose team previously competed Oct. 2. Highland’s boys added a fifthplace finish with Christian Lyman placing 11th individually. Anna Grace Tomlinson, meanwhile, led the Highland girls by placing fourth in 21 minutes, 59 seconds for one of her best races this season. Chloe Osbourn followed Tomlinson in 15th place with a time of 22:58, while Yasmin Zarabi took 17th in 23:25, Lea Saier finished 30th in 25:54 and Isabella Ormiston placed 24th in 26:30. “Times continue to drop precipitously,” Miller said of Ormiston. In the boys race, behind Lyman’s time of 18:59, Ian Winch finished 16th in 19:23. “Continues to demonstrate what giving maximum effort looks like,” Miller said. Bate Yung added a 23rd-place finish in 20:25, while Tucker Minter, took 31st in 21:05 and Aamir Mohammad placed 34th in 21:17.

Katie Swanson, second from right, won the Evergreen District tournament volleyball championship with Kettle Run in 2011, 2010 and 2009 before taking over as Patriot’s head coach this season.

Katie Swanson wins volleyball title after 6-year coaching hiatus By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Patriot volleyball coach Katie Swanson lost a district tournament championship Thursday for the first time since 2009. Granted, she hadn’t tried to win one since 2011, when she stepped down as Kettle Run’s coach following the birth of her second child. But Swanson, a Warrenton resident and the Pioneers’ first-year head coach, still has quite a resume after winning the Cedar Run District regular season championship with a victory over Battlefield earlier this month. Plus, while coaching Kettle Run for three years, Swanson’s team won the Evergreen District tournament title each fall with regular season championships in 2010 and 2009, but she left after the 2011 season. The following year she joined Patriot’s teaching staff, on which she is now a specialty programs coordinator. “I had children, so I took a break” from volleyball, she said. "Years later the [Patriot coaching] job came open, and my kids are older, so it was the perfect time. “It’s been a fantastic experience working with these girls and watching them develop into the team they are,” she said of the Pioneers. “We’ve been having some big crowds. Our Red Nation has been following us around.” Patriot has a 20-6 record after falling to Battlefield in the tournament title match, but the Pioneers still advanced to play in the Class 6 Region D tournament. Six years ago, Swanson actually missed the final match of her Kettle Run coaching career. The Cougars advanced to the first round of the Group AA Region II tournament on a Monday in early November, but the pregnant coach delivered her second daughter two days earlier. So Swanson missed the match, which Kettle Run lost 3-0 to Potomac Falls. “I was missing our coach,” Alyson Kroll, one of the Cougars, said at the time. “There was something different.”

Stanley Cup fever runneth over for celebration at McMahons By Sawyer Guinn Times Staff Writer

Fauquier County’s proud, faithful and recently-rejuvenated fans of the Washington Capitals found a unique window into the city sports experience Thursday. Chandler Stephenson and Nathan Walker of the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals answered questions at McMahons Irish Pub during an event sponsored by Croppe Metcalfe and hosted by local sports personalities Alan May and J.P. Flaim of NBC Sports Washington and 106.5 The Fan’s Sports Junkies, respectively. Both were gracious and excited to host the real stars of the evening. Stephenson and Walker, of course, helped the Capitals win their first championship in franchise history by beating the Las Vegas Golden Knights 4-1 in the Finals with a 4-3 victory during Game 5 on June 7. On Thursday, both players were still more or less speechless about the historic moment, except for a few expletives from Walker when asked his reaction to getting the call up to play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins, his first playoff game. Since winning the championship, Stephenson admitted to watching some of the Capitals’ playoff highlights online. In fact, he watched Game 5 of the Finals in its entirety, just to relive the magic. Unfortunately, Nathan Walker

didn’t receive a turn with the Stanley Cup trophy for a day. NHL stipulations dictated that, despite his contributions during the playoffs, he did not qualify for that, or the honor of having his name engraved on the Cup’s rings. Late injuries forced the Capitals to call up the young forward during the playoffs, but he did not meet the minimum 41 games played to qualify for Cup privileges. As of Oct. 18, the 23-year-old Walker had played only 12 games in his NHL career, making him still a rookie by league standards. Stephenson, meanwhile, logged 91 games and did qualify for a Cup day. For his obligatory meal of choice eaten from the large bowl atop the glorious trophy, Stephenson chose “egg hash.” Then he did something very special with the Cup.

In April, immense tragedy struck the hockey community, Saskatchewan in particular, when a bus transporting a team from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League was involved in a collision that led to the death of 16 individuals, including 10 from the Humboldt Broncos team. Stephenson’s hometown of Saskatoon is only an hour and a half from Humboldt, so the Capitals forward wanted to bring the Cup to that community. Stephenson said the community enjoyed the experience, embracing the sport they have always loved despite the recent unimaginable event threatening to break Humboldt’s hockey spirit. May, meanwhile, commended Washington D.C. area fans for their record-breaking support with thou-

sands of people watching Game 5 from the street outside Capital One Arena, in addition to a capacity crowd inside for a game actually played in Las Vegas. “We out Canada’d Canada,” May said. “Thousands of people celebrating, and no one flipped any cars or got arrested.” He was also impressed with the reach of the Stanley Cup energy outside of the city. At McMahons, for example, during an open-questions session, some fans took the microphone without even having a question. Instead, they offered sincere thanks or elated congratulations while describing how long they have waited for a championship. A sister described waiting since her brothers played in the minor leagues when the first professional team came to town. A grandfather described taking his son to games early in franchise history because the Caps were so bad they could always afford the tickets. And teenagers from Fauquier High said they had to play roller hockey across from their school their whole lives while listening to bandwagon Penguins fans call the Caps chokers. All that has washed away, though; all past heartache replaced. And based on the stories told at McMahons, it seems everyone’s kids want to play hockey now. For us hockey fans, this may be the best victory of all.

Authentic Health ‘empowers’ people through wellness By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Three women – two with backgrounds in health and a third in business – bonded after meeting and then banded together to open an office in Warrenton to help people with nutrition issues and chronic pain. They all live in Warrenton. Their Authentic Health LLC sees “clients” not “patients.” Neither of the two caregivers is a medical doctor though they each hold credentials in their particular areas of health. Natalia Schroeder provides nutrition counseling and health coaching. She holds a doctorate in nutrition and is a registered nutrition dietician. She’s worked in the food industry, academia, government and nonprofit sectors. Christie Pride is a registered occupational therapist with 30 years of experience. She also holds a master’s in early childhood special education. At Authentic Health, she provides pediatric occupational therapy – helping a child develop the skills they need to become functional, independent adults. Their development can be stalled by injuries and physical impairment. She also provides specialized kinesiology – identifying imbalances in structural, chemical and emotional energy. Pride also works with those needing craniosacral therapy involving the use of touch on the skull, pelvis and joints. Neck and back pain, central nervous system disorders, orthopedic problems, concussions, migraines, scoliosis, chronic fatigue and stress are some of the conditions treated through such therapy. “I’ve seen people freed from pain they’ve suffered,” Pride said. “I feel there’s a lot of misunderstanding and reliance on medication. I felt we had to address that.” Medication is of value but sometimes it is “masking, not changing” the root cause of a problem, she said. “A lot of what I do frees them from the source of their pain,” Pride said. “There may be a physiological basis for it that kinesiology can address.” Some of the people she’s worked with have come off the medication they were taking, Pride said. Schroeder said some of those she works with are obese or have food intolerances. “Obesity is a chronic disease.

Nutritionist Natalia Schroeder, business manager Jeanne Allen and occupational therapist Christie Pride, from left, opened Authentic Health in September. They are standing around a platform swing used in vestibular therapy for those with vertigo, dizziness, imbalance and other problems. People need continual help to make real change in their lives,” Schroeder said. That can involve advising on portions consumed and coming up with different meals that provide a variety of food. “It’s more than saying ‘eat more fruits and vegetables,’” Schroeder said. “I teach how to prepare meals and thinking ahead – what is my week going to be like?” Nutrition counseling can also help those with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Schroeder can provide personalized meal planning and recipes. The other member of the triumvirate, Jeanne Allen, owned an IT company and held training positions at other IT companies. She’s handling the business side of things and the marketing of Authentic Health, which just opened Sept. 15 at 183 Keith St., Suite 4A. Appointments can also be made

through the website. First-time clients should fill out the medical forms found on the website and bring them to the first appointment. Authentic Health doesn’t bill insurance companies but will give clients a “superbill” upon request that includes the codes and diagnoses for them to give to an insurer for reimbursement. Authentic Health is offering a free seminar at the office called “Eating through the Holidays” from 7 to 8 p.m. Schroeder will offer food choice tips. The seminar will serve as an introduction to a 12-week individualized nutrition and wellness program. A Dec. 6 program from 7 to 8 p.m. titled “Going Beyond the New Year’s Resolution” will provide guidance on setting realistic New Year’s goals for healthy eating and lifestyle changes. Registration for those programs can be made through the Authentic Health

website at authentichealth78.com. The phone number is 571-364-0678. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com.

The recent passage of HB 1604/SB 953 requires the Virginia Board of Education to integrate mental health into the various dimensions of health education, including the connection between mental and physical health. It specifically requires a review and update of the Standards of Learning for health to now include mental health education for ninth and tenth graders. The mandate from Virginia lawmakers was not specific in how this should be done, leaving this to the professionals on the Virginia Board of Education. Hopefully, implementation of this law will include professionals within the fields of developmental and mental health. On the surface, this new law may end up just being an update to general health education. It could be so much more. Let me begin by explaining why I think this law is important regarding mental health awareness. At the core of this law is its inclusion of mental health in overall health education which begins a conversation about mental health being synonymous with overall health. We can now begin to dismantle the myths and stigma associated with mental health issues like depression, anxiety, addiction and

CHARLES HINSHAW attention issues that negatively affect a young person’s ability to learn and grow. We must be able to move beyond the notion of mental fitness being a result of moral character and move toward the idea that positive mental health is the result of healthy biological, psychological and social (biopsychosocial) processes. Because the mandate is broad, the Virginia Board of Education can take innovative steps toward laying a durable foundation for ensuring the healthy development for all youths in Virginia. I do not believe this law alone will fix everything that should be done to improve the health and wellness of future Virginian citizens. This is just a small, but very important beginning, right here in our home state. This should only be considered a beginning because mental health, overall health, is a lifelong concern and effort. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) “Fifty percent of all lifetime cases of

mental illness begin by the age of 14.” This supports the directive for mental health education for ninth and tenth graders. However, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) specified that one out of seven U.S. children aged 2 to 8 years had a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder that is often related to sensory-processing difficulties like auditory and vision deficiencies. Many of the issues with younger children are not dealt with adequately in schools and many times result in long-term mental and behavioral issues. Mental health education and awareness needs to start at the beginning of a child’s education. New York state recently passed its own law requiring mental health education for all grades. In an interview with National Public Radio, Glenn Liebman, CEO of the NYS Mental Health Association, stated that New York lawmakers focused on eliminating the gap between the age many mental health issues begin to appear (14 years old) and the time they typically first seek treatment at the age of 24. They also intend to develop mental health literacy in all students. Here is where Virginia can do more. Mental health education and awareness should not be limited to students in grades nine and 10 and made available to all Virginians. The same curriculum that will be used

in the public-school system can be made available online for parents and all Virginians. This would not only serve to educate the public but act as a source of encouragement for people to consider their own mental health in their overall health and wellbeing. Mental health should be a part of any person’s overall health with regular checkups and treatments as a preventative and early diagnosis approach to reducing healthcare costs in our state. We are accustomed to regular medical and dental preventative care and treatment. Why not regular checkups regarding our biopsychosocial wellbeing. This would provide for early detection of potential issues before they become serious or even catastrophic. HB 1604/SB 953 is a good first step in an enduring journey toward our biopsychosocial wellbeing. Virginia lawmakers should be commended for making Virginia one of two states in the U.S. that have enacted such laws. The Virginia Board of Education will need support and advocacy from all who work in the mental health fields to ensure that the first step is a steady step toward the healthy development of youth in Virginia.

INTERNATIONAL GOLD CUP

Autumn is in the air (and so are the horses) It’s a whole new world: beaming live from Great Meadow

By Betsy Burke Parker There’s more of everything on the racecourse this season: more excitement, more horses, more fans and more ways to win. With the lion's share made up by the $75,000 eponymous feature and the $75,000 grade 2 Ferguson memorial hurdle handicap, a record $395,000 is at stake at the International Gold Cup meet Saturday in The Plains. That makes Oct. 27 one of steeplechasing's richest race days. And there’s a shiny, new multi-national facet to the local meet – wagering will be conducted on the live streamed Gold Cup races around the globe via online betting outlet Xpressbet. Plus, three National Steeplechase Association championships are on the line at the Great Meadow event.

Historic: Multi-wins in International are rare

PHOTO BY DOUGLAS LEES

Early favorite Doc Cebu angles for a second consecutive International Gold Cup victory; prize money from a win would plump his 2018 earnings to notch the NSA timber title. Current leading trainer Ricky Hendriks yearns for some breathing room between him and defending champion conditioner Jack Fisher. Jockey leaders Ross Geraghty and Jack Doyle – by earnings and by wins – recognize results are critical up and down the program with eight races on the card. Post time is 12 p.m. The Interna-

tional Gold Cup – twin sister to the spring's Virginia Gold Cup over the same course – runs as the fifth. Heading the undercard are a trio on the turf – two $30,000 maiden races plus the $35,000 championship finals of the Old Dominion Turf Series. A maiden hurdle, allowance, hurdle stake and the cross-country steeplethon round out the day. Ticket information is online at vagoldcup.com, complete race entries are at nationalsteeplechase. com and handicapping form is at equibase.com

Doc Cebu is aiming high going for Gold a second time. In 79 runnings for the valuable International Gold Cup, just 10 horses have won the trophy twice. Mike Wharton's Grinding Speed did it three times – 2012, ‘14 and ‘15. Other horses that won two International Gold Cups, so far: • Cordelia Scaife May's Billing Bear (1954 and '57 over natural hedges at Rolling Rock, Pennsylvania) • Mrs. Henry Obre's Hustle (1962 and '63 at Rolling Rock) • Augustin Stables' Arctic Joe (1974 and '76 at Rolling Rock) • Augustin's Cafe Prince (1977 and '78 at Rolling Rock) • Sugar Bee (for then-owner Wallace Lenahan in 1983 at Rolling Rock, and again in 1985 for new owner Nick Arundel over timber at the then “new” course at Great Meadow.) • Irene Roeckel's Ozymandias (1986 and '88 at Great Meadow) • Arcadia Stable's Buck Jakes (1994 and '95 at Great Meadow) • Ann Stern's Saluter (1998 and '99 at Great Meadow) • Nick Arundel's Seeyouattheevent (2008 and '09 at Great Meadow)

International Gold Cup to be live-streamed online

Ushering in a new era for American jump racing, the National Steeplechase Association this fall season began live-stream coverage of all NSA race meets. “This is a new day for our sport,” said NSA president Guy Torsilieri. Jockey Club chairman and deeply linked to the steeplechase world, Stuart Janney recently called for all American thoroughbred races to be broadcast in high-definition, so the NSA adopted the same policy, Torsilieri said. “The principal beneficiaries will be our stewards, who now will have real-time high-definition images to assure safe racing. Beyond that significant benefit, our race meets can present steeplechasing to a larger audience.” Following a competitive bidding process that spanned four months, NSA awarded a contract to a new company formed by Steve Hankin, an entrepreneur and business executive with extensive worldwide experience in video equipment, video production, sports merchandizing and social media. Warrenton’s own Al Griffin, Gold

Cup co-chairman and chair of the NSA’s Promotion and Growth Committee, and NSA Racing Operations manager Courtney Reid organized the effort. “The potential uses of high-definition video are endless,” said Griffin. “If they wish, race meets will be able to live-stream their races on their websites, and they can utilize video to market their meets yearround. In addition, the NSA website will have race replays.” Based in Los Angeles, Hankin is not a newcomer to steeplechase racing. His brother, Mike, is a member of the Bruton Street owner partnership and an NSA board member. Griffin said the video stream adds an international dimension to the International Gold Cup. “When the Thoroughbred Daily News published the live-stream story, we received calls from other ADW platforms wanting to import our signal. Our contract with Xpressbet will (allow us to) export our signal to brick-and-mortar (betting) shops in Great Britain and Australia.”

Since private bookmakers stopped taking wagers at Virginia steeplechase meets, betting hasn’t been a major component of jump racing for nearly a half-century. That all changed at last week’s Far Hill Races in New Jersey, and continues this Saturday at the International Gold Cup in The Plains. The 98th annual Far Hills event, considered steeplechasing’s championship day, offered pari-mutuel for the first time at the Oct. 20 meet in a unique partnership with nearby Monmouth Park and under supervision of the New Jersey Racing Commission. Gold Cup has offered pari-mutuel since 2013, working in conjunction with the Virginia Racing Commis-

You better, you bettor Far Hills adopts Great Meadow model for one-day steeplechase betting meet Far Hills races chairman Guy Torsilieri is thrilled with the results from the Oct. 20 race meet in north central New Jersey. That Irish invader Jury Duty won the $450,000 Grand National hurdle stakes was exciting, Torilieri said, but even more pleasing was the runaway success of the popular race meet’s first foray into pari-mutuel wagering. “It was a very successful operational day (after) a lot of long-term planning,” he said. “The numbers were solid for a first year event and can only go up as wagering becomes more familiar.” Great Meadow officials echo the sentiment: earlier this decade, Gold Cup took its maiden voyage for betting on jump races under an unusual state code that allows gambling at races hosted at non-profit facilities. The handle that first year was promising, but slightly anemic - barely $80,000 bet by some 40,000 spectators. The handle has increased each year,

At Far Hills, more than $350,000 was bet on-site and at other New Jersey tracks that took the Far Hills signal, said Monmouth Park president of operations Bill Knauf. Far Hills’ one-day license was managed by Monmouth. Numbers aren’t in yet for overseas wagers accepted in England and Australia through XpressBet. “Our departments operated extremely well – mutuels, money room, Tote, TV, guest services, operations etc.,” Knauf said. “There were no tote outages, no TV interruptions, and very few mutuels issues which is unheard of for an event of this size with a novice wagering audience. “It was testament to really good preparation. When you operate for a first time ... there are a lot of potential negative factors.” The unique Belmont-Far Hills Pick 4 linked the novice hurdle stakes and the Grade 1 $450,000 Grand National hurdle stakes from Far Hills with the Empire Distaff and the Empire Classic stakes from Belmont Park.

Level field entered for grade 2 Ferguson

RODRIGUEZ: Owner: Kiplin Hall, Trainer: Willie Dowling, Rider: Mark Beecher Rodriguez, sixth. Super Saturday, trained in Pennsylvania by Kathy Neilson, won the Middleburg Hunt Cup in April, and was third in the Virginia Gold Cup in May. Maryland shipper Stand Down was third behind Doc Cebu at Genesee Valley, first career defeat for Frank Bonsal’s lightly-raced 6-year-old Yeats gelding. Stand Down won his first two timber starts this spring for trainer Joseph Davies. As notable as who’s entered for Saturday is who’s not: Last year’s Virginia Gold Cup winner Ebanour was expected to return to Great Meadow for the fall classic. Ebanour was injured in the Oct. 13 timber stake at Glenwood. He hit the last fence hard, breaking several rails with his hind legs. He finished and was walked off the course. It was reported later that he had damaged his left stifle and was transported to the Piedmont Equine Clinic near Marshall for further evaluation and treatment, and will sit out the rest of the season.

Rosbrian Farm’s Optimus Prime, a grade 1 winner and Grade 1-placed in his two American starts, heads the field for Saturday’s grade 2 $75,000 Zeke Ferguson hurdle handicap. The Ferguson is the day’s fourth race. Trained by Ricky Hendriks, Optimus Prime opened his American book with victory this summer in the Turf Writers hurdle handicap at Saratoga. The 6-year-old French-bred subsequently finished third in another grade 1, Belmont Park’s Lonesome Glory Handicap behind stablemate Zanjabeel. Ross Geraghty, currently atop jockey standings by purse earnings, has the mount on Optimus Prime. Another 2018 grade 1 winner, Mark Buyck’s Show Court, will be ridden by Michael Mitchell, who was in the saddle for his victory in Saratoga’s Smithwick memorial. Trained by Loudoun native Arch Kingsley, Show Court finished fourth in the Turf Writers but fell in the Lonesome Glory.

Call him Mr. October Chris ‘Reggie’ Williams hits a home run on Great Meadow’s dream team By Betsy Burke Parker Chris Williams knows there’s no “I” in team. Barn manager for Saturday's Gold Cup races, Williams is part of an army of volunteers ansd staff responsible for putting on the show. He'll facilitate some 100 horses and hundreds of horsemen taking up temporary quarters at the course. He doesn't operate in a vacuum, and he can't do it alone, Williams says and the teamwork values he's embraced since youth serve him well on race day and in a number of ways that surprise many. Williams grew up in rural Rappahannock County in a strong, insular family. He honed teamwork as star right fielder at Rappahannock High. Now 50, Williams is still known to many by the nickname he earned back then – Reggie, after Hall of Fame right fielder Reggie Jackson, the Yankees’ “Mr. October” for his playoff heroics. You could call Williams “Mr. October” just as well for his expert handling of the precision organization of the Oct. 27 meet. As stable superintendent overseeing Great Meadow’s barn area, a critical, and required, role for the pari-mutuel event, Williams orchestrates an intricate dance to get participants where they need to be at any given point on race day. “It’s a lot of work, a lot of planning,” said Williams. “But I love being part of this fraternity. It’s like a big family.” Growing up on the fringe of Virginia’s horse

Gold Cup barn manager Chris Williams is as passionate about horses and steeplechasing as he is about law enforcement and youth mentoring. country, Williams had no link to racing until one day some 30 years ago a church friend introduced him to her brother, Pete Aylor. One of just two black trainers on the steeplechase circuit at the time, Aylor took Williams under his wing, escorting him behind the scenes at the Foxfield races near Charlottesville. “I fell in love with horse racing that very day,” he recalled. “I met [trainers] Mike Berryman and Mairead Carr, and I became sort of a weekend warrior.” Aylor taught him the rudiments of horsemanship, knowledge he’s expanded in years since. No small feat for someone who doesn’t ride, and who

didn’t grow up in the racing world, today Williams can fully manage pre- and post-race care for some dozen trainers he works for regularly, from driving the the horse van to helping in the barn, and even acting as assistant trainer for a barn sending runners to more than one meet. “Reggie is good at his job,” said trainer Doug Fout, who Williams has helped spring and fall for years. He’s able to safely handle 1,000-pound, pumped up equine athletes because he’s still an athlete himself, a muscle-bound weight-lifter who can bench 430 pounds and with enough raw strength that he once helped tug a FedEx jet across the tar-

mac with a team of power pullers. Horses usually don’t try any funny business with someone like that on the end of the leadshank, Fout said. Plus, Williams exudes a Zenlike aura, Fout added. “He has a calming effect on horses,” and on horsemen as well, as it turns out.

The letter of the law

Williams had begun developing that inner Zen when he entered law enforcement at age 25. “You gotta stay sane somehow,” said the longtime Prince William County sheriff’s deputy. The six-time Deputy of the Year started mentoring young people about 20 years ago. “I wanted to make a difference, help kids get out of that vicious cycle and find their way in life,” Williams said. “All kids are at risk, doesn’t matter your background. Some, not all, are kids from broken homes, mostly boys, but not all, some black, but not all, many living with single moms who are trying to make it, working two, three jobs. “These are kids with no positive male role model in their lives. I provide that stability, and I think it takes a man to raise a man.” Williams loves to use his steeplechasing family to make a positive impression. “I had one kid whose family had lost their home in a fire,” he recalled. “Doctors were telling the mom her 7-yearold boy was having trouble processing it, that he needed pills. “I told her no, let me give it a try. “I took him to the Piedmont point-to-point that Saturday. He met the course vet and got to talk to him about his dream of becoming a veterinarian The jockeys all shook his hand and posed for photos with him. It made him feel important, and that’s really all anybody needs. To feel like they’re part of something.” Williams has mentored hundreds of boys; he calls it a two-way commitment. “Both of us have to work hard. We come up with a plan together, for graduating high school, for going to college,

for getting a job, whatever they aim at. I don’t set the bar too high because I want them to succeed.” J.T. Herndon, who Williams met at age 4, was having issues at school. "He'd acted out, bad, to a teacher," Williams recalled. "His mom wanted to cut the head off that snake before it grew, and I was called in to assist. “J.T. had no way to express the anger he felt at some family problems. Well, he responded to the tough love approach. He became a star football player, and now is a professional ballet dancer. Fox television did a news special on him as a success story for someone that turned their life around. “That’s what keeps me doing it, when a kid can go from being angry to being successful.” Several of Williams’ mentees help him with volunteer projects like rebuilding parts of flood-ravaged North Carolina earlier this month. It’s a way to show them how to give back, Williams said. “His love of being part of racing and horses is apparent to everyone that knows him,” said race trainer Chris Kolb. “But what's not known is this passion for helping the community. Mentoring young people, assisting the elderly, giving aid in disaster areas. It’s what he lives for.”

Off to the races

Four years ago, Great Meadow tapped into

Williams’ unique skillset – horseman, law enforcement, volunteer and human resource manager – for a special project. Virginia Racing Commission rules required a secure stable area for Gold Cup pari-mutuel meets. Williams was the natural choice. As stable superintendent, Williams handles barn management from start to finish. “Once entries come out Monday, I design the layout,” Williams said. "Trainers like to keep the same stalls." Assistant Albert Smith will help prep the temporary tent stable on Friday, working with Williams to spread straw in the stalls and stapling signs to stall doors. “I make it a point to meet each trainer as they come in and escort them to their stalls,” Williams said. “I recognize most of the vans as soon as they turn off of Route 17 onto Old Tavern Road. Our main job is to make it easy on them.” With a maze of narrow passageways in the 100-by-100-foot tent erected near the polo arena, Williams said he saves “a lot of wandering around and a lot of frustration looking for their stalls.” Most horses arrive early Saturday, but horses coming from farther away – Tennessee and Kentucky – usually come in on Friday afternoon. On race morning, each horse undergoes a thorough pre-race vet check, and Williams and Smith make sure everyone is accounted for. A half hour before the first, Williams calls horses to gather in the staging area outside the barn. Tattoos are checked, and color-coded pinnies are given to each handler before the paddock procession to help bettors identify each entrant. After each race, they make sure the chute is clear for horses returning from the track before starting the carefully orchestrated dance once again. Saturday, they’ll do it eight times. It's a long day, and Williams and his team need to be "on" from start to finish. But he loves it. “At the end of the day you breathe a big sigh of relief,” Williams said.

Halloween happenings from haunted to hilarious By Anita L. Sherman

3661 Double J Lane, Delaplane www.miraclevalleyvineyard.com 540-364-0228

Community Editor

Next Wednesday is Halloween. Over the years it seems to have morphed from a day for young children to visit neighbors and get candy and smiles, to elaborate parties, zombie races and a chance for the adults to get in on the action. Safety has entered the scene in a big way and door-to-door in many cases has been replaced with school parties and visiting businesses at a mall or shopping center. Statistically, Halloween is second, after Christmas, when it comes to decorating. There’s no shortage of orange and black in the retail stores and housed in the former Sears building you’ll find all things Halloween from scary and sweet costumes to party items. Halloween is a major holiday whether you go in for scary stories and spooky tales, hauntings or preparing to have the neighbors in for pumpkin carving. It’s all good. If you are hankering for some Halloween fun and haven’t quite figured out what to put on your Oct. 31 calendar, here are a few suggestions in Fauquier and Culpeper to keep you hauntingly happy.

Friday. Oct. 26 Haunted Hallow

Spook yourself at Haunted Hallow. This haunted trail in and around the barns of an abandoned haunted farm will leave you breathless or gasping for your last breath… come if you dare!

fore they see you? Deadwood Trail has begun its reign of terror continuing each Friday and Saturday in October, ending Nov. 2., from 7-11 p.m. Upon entering Deadwood Trail, you will wander over three acres in fear and dread from one scream event to another among the darkness of a foggy wooded trail, a maze, and venues of horror! This year is bigger and better than last year, with new scares, a bonfire, food vendors, and other attractions. Also, this year, in response to popular demand, they will sell $2 tickets for entry to the grounds for those who do not want to walk the Deadwood Trail but still want to get in on the fun!

Fauquier Times | October 24, 2018

Apples: planting, picking and preserving Apple orchards dot the Virginia countryside with an abundance of “pick your own” options in and around Fauquier County. How much do you know about this flavorful fruit? Apples, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary are “The fleshy, usually rounded red, yellow, or green edible pome fruit of a usually cultivated tree of the rose family.” They appear in Greek mythology, the Book of Genesis and many popular sayings including “An apple a day keeps the doctor away,” “As American as apple pie,” and “She is the apple of his eye” to name a few. So what is it about this fruit that makes it so popular? Apples can be preserved, cooked, pressed or eaten raw. With more than 7,500 varieties of apples grown throughout the world, there is almost surely one to suit every taste and preference. In the U.S., 100 varieties of apples are grown commercially in 32 states; Virginia is among the top

10 apple-producers. More than 240 million bushels of apples are grown each year with an estimated wholesale value of close to $4 billion annually, according to the U.S. Apple Association. In fact, apples account for about half of deciduous fruit tree production worldwide. With so many to choose from, which apple is the most popular? For more than 50 years, the Red Delicious apple was the top choice of American consumers. However, according to U.S. Agriculture Department crop forecasts, it has been unseated by the Gala. Gala’s rise in popularity is due to consumer preference for its taste, texture and sweetness. Regardless of which apple variety is your favorite, you can learn how to grow, cook or preserve apples with resources from Fauquier County Public Library. Here are a few to try: • “The Apple Book” by Rosanne Sanders • “The Backyard

Orchardist” by Stella Otto • “The Beginner’s Guide to Making and Using Dried Foods” by Teresa Marrone • “The Farmer’s Wife Guide to Fabulous Fruits and Berries” by Barbara Doyen • “Field Guide to Produce” by Aliza Green • “Grow Fruit” by Alan Buckingham • “Growing Fruit Trees edited” by Jean-Marie Lespinasse and Evelynne Leterme • “The Home Orchard Handbook” by Cem Akin • “Put ‘Em Up!: A Comprehensive Home Preserving Guide for the Creative Cook” by Sherri Brooks Vinton • “Storey’s Guide to Growing Organic Orchard Fruits” by Danny L.

Charles Vurtus “Chuck” Rice Mr. Charles Vurtus “Chuck” Rice died peacefully in his home of over 20 years, in Warrenton, VA, on October 9, 2018 at the age of 81. Chuck is survived by his loving wife, Deborah Rice; four children, Cynthia Howard, Hope Baker-Rice, Miles Rice, and Roxanne Rice; three grandchildren, Alec, Camille, and Matthew; siblings, Linda Kennedy, Carolyn Beecham, and Jane Harvey; and many nieces, nephews, and loved ones. He is preceded in death by his parents Emmett Vurtus Rice and Vera Mae Burns; his brother, Bill Rice; his sister, Mary Nell Rice Hendrix; and his daughter, Susan. Chuck was born on July 8, 1937 in Lawrenceburg, TN. He graduated Lawrence County High School in 1955. He earned his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at Northeastern University and a Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering from Boston University. He worked at Raytheon Company as an engineer from 1959 to 1970, where he managed the Apollo Manufacturing Program and the Missile Systems Division Manufacturing Programs, among others. During the 1970’s he worked as a leading outdoor furniture manufacturer and distributor as well as owned six other companies, spanning a wide-range of businesses, including consulting. Since 1980, he was involved in the health care services industry. This work culminated in 1983 when he began serving as CEO of an Assisted Living facility in Marshall, VA, Marshall Manor. He grew this into a business, Amerisist, formerly known as America House, fulfilling a lifelong dream to provide a home away from home for seniors. His family and friends remember him as wise, humble, honest, and strong. He was welcoming to others and his generosity had no bounds. He was always available for a nice dinner and a variety of conversation; he was curious about all subjects and would especially light up when discussing business ventures, not necessarily his own. His knowledge of science and history were vast but he was most concerned with knowledge of the Lord and what He wanted him to do next. He was an active and dedicated member of the Living Hope Evangelical Church; he and Deborah shared in their faith, an important part of his identity and their marriage. A Memorial Service is to be held on November 3, 2018 at 11am at Greenwich Presbyterian Church (Main Sanctuary), 15305 Vint Hill Rd., in Nokesville, VA, with a catered reception to follow at the Rice residence. Pastor Tim MacGowan will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Chuck’s life. The family would like to thank Capital Caring for their loving aid and for making it possible for him to remain at home. Please contact: Roxanne Rice, roxannerice@comcast.net, for more details.

Sherie Mazzei Sherie Lynn (Thorpe) Mazzei, 50, of Bowie Maryland, passed away peacefully Sunday, October 14, 2018 after a 15 month battle with brain cancer. Born on March 15, 1968 in Warrenton, Virginia to Milton Thorpe and Judy Wiest, Sherie worked in the social work field before leaving the workforce to raise a family. After moving to Bowie as a child, she married her best friend Tony Mazzei, moved away for his work, and then settled in Bowie, devoting her life to raising four precious children and homeschooling two of them. Sherie graduated from Bowie High School in 1986 and from Eastern University in 1990. Sherie’s life was a reflection of her love for Jesus, her family, and her friends. She had a heart of an angel, and put all others before herself. She loved antiquing, photography, scrapbooking, country and Christian music, and spending time with her family and friends. Sherie had an infectious laugh that drew others in and made them feel comfortable, accepted, and loved. She liked Tim McGraw so much that her husband Tony often referred to himself as the “other TM”. She spent countless hours supporting her kids’ activities and sports, especially soccer. She loved unconditionally and sacrificially. She was truly one of a kind and will be missed beyond belief. She is survived by Tony, her husband of 26 years; daughter Sarah Mazzei; sons Brady, Jacob, and Cooper Mazzei; mother Judy Wiest; father Milton Thorpe (Jo); brother Jim Thorpe (Cindy), father in-law Paul J. Mazzei (Barbara), brother in-law Paul M. Mazzei (Jayne); sisters in-law Monni Liskey (Steve) and Tara Bourne (John); nephews Matthew Thorpe, Paul Morgan Mazzei Jr., John Paul Gambriel, Joshua, Jeremiah, Nathan, Noah, Caleb, and Micah Bourne, nieces Cathy Farrington, Liz Phipps, Mary Kirby, Meghan Marshall, Melissa Bishop, Clare Davey, Rebekah Cherry, and Rachel Bourne; and 26 great-nephews and great-nieces. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Harvey and May Simms, Orvis and Mary Thorpe; uncle Eddie Simms; step-father Peter Wiest; mother in-law Charlene Mazzei; and sister in-law Colleen Mazzei. Friends are invited to celebrate Sherie’s life at Beall Funeral Home, 6512 NW Crain Hwy (Rt 3 South), Bowie, MD on Thursday, October 18, 2018 from 2pm to 4pm and 6pm to 9pm. Funeral services will be held at Grace Baptist Church 7210 Race Track Rd, Bowie, MD on Friday, October 19, 2018 at 10am. Interment will follow at Lakemont Memorial Gardens in Davidsonville, MD. Following interment, there will be a gathering to celebrate Sherie’s life at the Knights of Columbus 6111 Columbian Way, Bowie, MD.

OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquer.com | October 24, 2018

OBITUARIES ART IMITATES LIFE Because it preserves the body and presents the deceased in a way that he or she was like when alive, embalming is both an art and a science. Those who want to remember the deceased just the way he or she had lived might choose to take embalming a few steps further than usual. “Extreme embalming,” which is popular in some places such as New Orleans and Puerto Rico, honors the dead by showing them engaging in an activity that they loved while they were alive, flanked by familiar objects or a memorable setting. By positioning the deceased in an accustomed pose in suitable attire in a familiar setting, the goal is to create a “memory photo” of the deceased. The funeral arrangements you make will be influenced by the lifestyle of your deceased family member; the time of year, your budget, and the number of people in attendance. But you don't have to think about it all on your own. To learn more, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431 or see us at our 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton facility. Our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY is located just outside of Warrenton.
