WHERE THEY STAND:

Candidates split on health care, abortion; but all oppose separating migrant families By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Virginia’s two candidates for U.S. Senate and the four candidates vying to represent parts of Fauquier County in the House of Representatives appear most deeply divided about the Affordable Care Act and wheth-

er women should retain the right to have an abortion. But despite their disagreements, all say migrant families should not be separated at the border and most see possible legislative fixes for climate change — even if they disagree on which policies will help. On gun violence, the Democratic

candidates and Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st, see room for improvement in the nation’s gun laws. While Republicans Denver Riggleman, who is vying for the 5th District congressional seat, and Corey Stewart, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate, said no more laws are needed. “We don’t need more regulations

on lawful gun ownership; we just need to enforce the laws we already have,” Stewart said. “More can be done, however, to allow individual citizens to defend themselves. Additionally, we must take action to secure our nation’s churches, schools and other currently-soft targets.”

Love it or hate it, Warrenton’s first roundabout opens By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Warrenton’s new mini-roundabout has gotten mixed reviews so far from drivers who’ve driven it. “Too small” and “too tight” are most often the complaints describing the traffic circle at the intersection of Falmouth Street and East Shirley Avenue. It opened last week. “Way too small and hard to get in the lane to go to Walmart;” “Just watch a school bus navigate it;” and “Those can cause accidents if not done properly;” are a sample of posts concerning the roundabout on the Fauquier Times Facebook page. But drivers, not the design, are to blame, acINSIDE Business.............................................11 Classified............................................34 Communities......................................26 Faith...................................................30

cording to an opposing post: “I think the problem is not the traffic circle but the drivers who have no idea how it works … It is not that hard, people.” Warrenton At-Large Councilmember Sean Polster has seen the pro and con reviews. “I think it’s great,” he said. “It’s something new and people haven’t gotten used to it.” The mini-roundabout is meant move traffic more efficiently and with fewer potential points of contact between motorists. It’s doing that, he said. “When VDOT [Virginia Department of Transportation] presented it to us it was described as safer and for the same money” over time as a traffic signal, which would require maintenance, Polster said.

Candidates split on health care, abortion; but all oppose separating migrant families CANDIDATES from page 1 What about health care?

National polls suggest health care is top-of-mind for voters, and the candidates are divided along party lines about what to do about the Affordable Care Act, parts of which were scaled back by the federal tax-reform law approved last year. There’s no longer a tax penalty for not having health-care insurance, sometimes called the “individual mandate,” and federal subsidies to insurance companies have been scaled back since the law first took effect. Democratic candidates say the changes have amounted to undermining the health-care law. They are

calling for the ACA to be restored and improved by adding a public option, such as Medicare, to the healthcare insurance exchange so people under the age of 65 can buy into the federal health-care insurance program if they want to. Sen. Tim Kaine, the Democratic incumbent, and both Leslie Cockburn and Vangie Williams, Democrats vying for the 5th and 1st District congressional seats, say they would favor such a change. “I … believe we should do more to expand access and improve quality, which is why I’ve proposed a plan called Medicare-X, which would allow all Virginians to have access to a plan similar to Medicare,” Kaine said.

Cockburn has said she supports Virginia’s move to expand Medicaid. The ACA must be stabilized, she said. “You need to put back the individual mandate. You need to bring back the subsidies for insurance companies so you have a healthy exchange,” Cockburn said in an earlier interview. “Then, I support, first, putting Medicare on that exchange so people can buy into it. ” Riggleman opposed Medicaid expansion in Virginia and doesn’t think a government-run health care system is the answer. “The thing that scares me the most, when talking about Medicare for all, is a big government takeover of any type of health care,” Riggleman said in an interview. Stewart said he favors a return to a time when government played a smaller role in health care. “I strongly favor health savings accounts, as well as the restoration of short-term and low-cost ‘no-frills’ plans,” Stewart said. “We should allow insurance plans to be sold across state lines (more competition is healthy).” Wittman, a five-term Republican incumbent, voted in favor of the House replacement for the ACA in May 2017, which critics said would have made health insurance more expensive for those with pre-existing conditions. The measure failed in the Senate. “I support a path forward for repealing and replacing the ACA with patient-provider centered reforms

that expand choices for consumers, increase access to care and reduce healthcare costs, all while preserving coverage for folks with pre-existing conditions,” he said.

Immigration

On immigration, all six candidates said they oppose the Trump Administration’s temporary move last spring to separate migrant children from their parents under the president’s “zero tolerance policy” for border-crossers. Kaine, who earlier this year backed a bill to provide $25 billion for border security while creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants without a criminal records, said he would continue to “fight for comprehensive immigration reform that secures our border and treats immigrants humanely and fairly.” Stewart’s campaign spokesman Nathan Brinkman said Stewart supports the presidents’ zero-tolerance policy on border-crossers but also agrees with the administration’s move to stop separating families. “Nobody wants to see families divided,” Stewart said. “We must discourage illegal migration to begin with — that’s why I favor building a real border wall and enforcing our nation’s immigration laws.” Cockburn called the separation of families “barbaric,” while Riggleman said simply: “Protect the borders but don’t separate families.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

With 8,000 postcards, ‘Indivisibles’ aim to sway midterms their way By Karen Chaffraix Times Staff Writer

The walls cast a pink glow at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the back room at McMahon’s Irish Pub in Warrenton. The tables were full. Heads were down, and pens danced across little white cards. Meet the folks who comprise Fauquier Indivisible, on this last postcard-writing night before the mid-term elections. Tonight’s postcards urge voters in Virginia’s 8th District to choose Democrat Carter Turner, and in the 1st District, Democrat Vangie Williams. On Thursday, Oct. 28, between those collected from the Upperville Progressives, an arm of the Fauquier Indivisibles, and this Warrenton group, 8,000 postcards were carried to the post office. “It took two bins and three shopping bags to get them there,” Upperville group member Pat Reilly said from her place in Marshall. “We get the addresses from an online site.” Reilly first heard of the merits of postcard-writing at “the Women’s Summit,” a progressive political-strategy and team-building event held in Herndon last July sponsored Network NOVA. “I was skeptical, but there’s a study that says postcards are as effective as canvassing. Women went into postcard-writing particularly strongly, because calling is harder.”

At Sheriff Bob Mosier’s Vint Hill town hall in April 2017, held after he announced he would pursue an agreement to detain undocumented immigrants in cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a crowd of 150 rallied for a voice vote of “yea” or “nay.” The resounding response was “nay.” Mosier later decided the agreement was unnecessary. Today, Fauquier Indivisibles work with other local groups such as the Fauquier Democrats; Indivisible Nova West, in Manassas; Indivisible Alexandria; Indivisible Fairfax; Service Employees International Union; the Interfaith Council; and the Virginia Civic Engagement Table. The Indivisibles’ platform is progressive but not partisan, Cywinski said. It stresses the idea that everybody in the country is entitled to liberty and justice, and that means everyone. “We support a lot of Democrats because today you can’t find a Republican who will put a check on Trump’s power,” Cywinski said.

Making waves

When Virginia’s General Assembly returns to Richmond in January, Indivisibles will be in the gallery just as they were last summer when Medicaid expansion passed and when Republicans put the kibosh on bringing the Equal Rights Amendment to the floor for a vote. “Take a vote. You need to take a vote,” the activists chanted, lapsing into singing “We Shall Overcome.” The old boys voted against it, but video of them doing so came to life on the internet. Should Virginia pass the Equal Rights Amendment, it will be the 38th state to do so and the last vote needed for it to become the law of the land. State legislators promise to try again this year. “We will be shining a light on what our lawmakers are doing,” Cywinski said. “From the first day, they will know we are there. The good old boys deciding on legislation — that’s done with.” Reach Karen Chaffraix at kchaffraix@fauquier.com

Sod farm owner, hauler file suit over new fill limits By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

The property owner and hauler establishing a sod farm in Midland are challenging Fauquier County’s efforts to curb the dumping and storage of non-agricultural fill in court. On Oct. 15, the attorney for Thomas and Jody Schottler and R.C. Hawkins Construction Co. Inc. filed a complaint in Fauquier County Circuit Court arguing the county’s regulation violates state code, is invalid and interferes with the plaintiffs’ lawful non-conforming use. Several residents adjacent to property off Brent Town Road in Midland complained about truck traffic, noise, dust and drainage problems from the Schottler property where trees were felled, an access drive created, and fill deposited for the sod farm. Hawkins Construction was contracted by the Schottlers to do the hauling and site work. The complaints about the Midland site and others prompted the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors in September to approve a zoning text amendment that puts a limit on the amount of non-agricultural fill dumped or stored on agricultural land in Fauquier. A county now requires landowners to apply for a special-exception permit to deposit more than 200 yards of fill within a 24-hour period or more than 4,200 cubic yards with-

in a year on land more than 10 acres. There is a 100-cubic-yard limit of fill within a year for properties less than 10 acres. Amounts in excess require a special exception approval. In the case of the Schottler property, County Zoning Administrator Rob Walton on Sept. 28 cited the Schottlers and Hawkins for storing or disposing of nonagricultural fill in excess of the new limits and for expanding a non-conforming use. They and the county Board of Zoning Appeals is scheduled to consider the matter Nov. 1. Work on the sod farm was stopped after the zoning administrator issued a “certificate of imminent peril” to bring it to an immediate halt. The move has caused “severe economic harm,” said John Foote, attorney for the Schottler couple and Hawkins. The fill material taken there so far by dump trucks includes material obtained from contractors for the Virginia Department of Transportation, mostly from Interstate 395 and Interstate 66 projects. Foote claims state law bars local governments from requiring state agencies or its contractors to obtain a special exception permit. Schottler obtained permits from the Virginia Department of Forestry to clear timber from the land and obtained a land-disturbance permit from the county to install a culvert, clear a section of land and build an access road.

Love it or hate it, Warrenton’s first roundabout opens CIRCLE from page 1 Interim Warrenton Police Chief Timothy Carter said there haven’t been any reported accidents in the traffic circle either since it opened last week or during construction, which started in September. “The only thing is that some people aren’t used to moving through the roundabout. There was one who drove through the middle rather than go around,” Carter said. “It was designed for larger trucks to go up on the center piece if the back rim can’t make it. It’s been designed to do that,” the chief said. “I don’t think this one is as high.” Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. James Hartman said the problem of trucks with trailers clearing the circle is one that he heard. Warrenton’s assistant director of public works said he’s heard the mixed reviews about the roundabout. “There are always people who don’t like change, but others have said this is just what is needed,” said Paul Bernard. “VDOT over the years has

been finding out through their traffic analysis that traffic circles reduce accidents and the severity of accidents. They also act as a traffic calming feature,” Bernard said in explaining the rationale. The road network, traffic flow and available right-ofway made the Falmouth-East Shirley intersection suited for it, Bernard said. The $420,000 project was half funded by the town and half by the state through VDOT. The contractor is M&F Concrete of Manassas, which was the lowest bidder among four companies that submitted bids. “They’ve been very responsive and have been a good contractor from what we observed,” Bernard said. It rained during the first week of construction and yet the company got the work underway. “These guys just worked it hard. They kept plugging away,” Bernard said. Work started Sept. 24 and was finished weeks ahead of its projected mid- or late-November completion. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@fauquier.com

Warner, longtime dean of the Virginia GOP, says he supports Cockburn By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Former Sen. John Warner, who spent 30 years representing Virginia as a Republican, is lending his support to Leslie Cockburn, a Democrat and former investigative journalist vying to represent the 5th District in the U.S. House. Warner endorsed Sen. Tim Kaine, also a Democrat, in his race against GOP nominee Corey Stewart in September. Warner appeared with Cockburn and Sen. Mark Warner at a fundraiser at Kinloch Farm in The Plains Saturday. “I’m still a Republican. I’m going to tell this gang, I’m still a Republican,” the elder Warner said in an interview before the event. “You can’t take that away from me. But you’ve got to have the courage to do what’s right for the country and what’s right for your state.” Warner, 91, took out his iPhone to scroll through Cockburn’s platform as he talked about why he’s publicly backing Cockburn over her GOP opponent, Denver Riggleman. Warner called Cockburn “an exceptional candidate” and said he agrees with her positions on health care and “commonsense gun laws.” “I’ve got a closet full of guns,” said the Navy and Marine Corps veteran who served in both World War II and the Korean War. “I know guns pretty well. And there’s things we’ve got locked in, they’re just wrong. I don’t know how were going to break that one.” Warner, who spent decades in Fauquier County while he served as secretary of the U.S. Navy and later as senator, spoke of his love for

Manassas Ballet theatre Leslie Cockburn and Sen. John Warner the state. After attending Sen. John McCain’s funeral, Warner said he revised his will to dictate his ashes be “spread over the valley” in Virginia. Warner said his endorsement of Kaine is rooted in his lifelong friendship with Kaine’s father-in-law, former Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton, the first Republican elected Virginia governor in the 20th Century. Warner acknowledged the political tide might be turning in Virginia but called the state “fundamentally conservative.” “The state stands for firm principles and leans a little bit on the progressive side,” he said. Cockburn, who served on the board of the Piedmont Environmental Council for a decade, said her strong support for conservation and environmental issues has won her support among rural Virginia’s more moderate Republicans. “There are many people who would consider that their very top issue,” Cockburn said of conservation. “And that’s why they [are] gravitating to me.”

Committee backs plan to level hills on U.S. 29 By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer

Members of a community panel working with the Virginia Department of Transportation in Warrenton support an idea to even out two humps and raise the grade in dips on U.S. 29 near Vint Hill, in an effort to make that intersection safer. “We’ve run into fatal flaws before,” cautioned VDOT Chief Engineer Garrett Moore. But before spending serious money on engineering, he wanted to know the idea had community backing. He got it from the members of Route 29 New Baltimore Advisory Committee on Oct. 25. “This is the best shot we’ve had in 15 years,” said Peter Eltringham, a member of the Fauquier County Transportation Committee. He said the hill-leveling would address the sightline obstruction problem. Other committee members had questions but were onboard. Committee members representing homeowners associations in Brookside and Vint Hill were going to brief residents. Members of the Buckland Preservation Society will be apprised. Unless a “fatal flaw” with the concept is found that would make it engineeringly unsound and/or too expensive, work on the intersection could start as early as the summer of 2019

present

or 2020. “What can we do to get it in 2019?” asked Ike Broaddus, co-owner of Old Bust Head Brewery and a member of the advisory committee. “Consensus. Agreement where everybody is happy, and they feel like they’re getting something from it,” replied Moore. The aim of the project is to give drivers traveling north on U.S. 29 toward Prince William County a clearer view. Currently, the view is obscured by two rises in the topography. Rumble strips were placed in the roadway and a caution light blinks when the traffic light ahead at the intersection with Vint Hill Road turns red to cut down on rear-end and cross traffic collisions. VDOT dropped a plan to create a restricted crossing at Vint Hill Road with U-turns after it was criticized by county officials and community members. VDOT wants to avoid having to acquire land outside the right of way. That would add cost to a project Moore hopes to bring in under $5 million. “This is a very tight fit to make it work,” Moore said of the existing right of way. Innovative construction strategies will be explored to reduce the cost of lowering the hills. Reach James Ivancic at jivancic@ fauquier.com

To heal our divisions: Vote, listen and look for common ground In one week, voters go to the polls to vote in the midterm elections. You’ve read the news, seen the ads, and, hopefully, many of you are planning to vote, if you have not done so already by absentee. No matter what your political persuasion, voting is a civic duty. It is one of the characteristics of this nation that make it unique and envied. Citizens of many nations strive to have the opportunity that is our birthright. Not only are you voting for Senate and House seats, there are also ballot measures to be decided, underlying the need for all to get to the polls and make their voices heard. It is an empty action to complain about our laws and lawmakers if one hasn’t taken the time to cast a OUR VIEW ballot. Many would argue just going to the polls is not enough, and they are right. An uneducated vote is often a wasted vote. Prep yourself. Read up on the ballot measures. Read pros and cons from all sides. Even if your inclination is to vote straight ticket, take some time to research your decisions. Our newspaper’s in-depth interviews with many of the candidates and coverage of debates are available on Fauquier.com. On the front page of today’s edition is a checklist of five hot-button issues asked of all the candidates. It serves to point out that on many of the issues, the parties are divided as ever when it comes to their positions. What’s worse, last week’s horrific violence, including the heartbreaking synagogue shootings and the pipe bombs that were mailed — but, thankfully, never exploded — to high-profile critics of President Donald Trump are yet more evidence of our country’s deep ideological divide. Is this who we are as a people, so driven by our political intolerance that we act out in violence or fan the flames of hatred? We believe this not to be true. We believe these actions are outliers. Recent studies show that tribalism in political thought is driven by a small percentage of the population on the extreme edges of the political spectrum. Most of us are somewhere in the middle, trying to make sense of it all, trying to vote for the right people and issues based on our personal belief systems. Yet we interact on a daily basis, in all walks of life — in business, education, school athletics and more — with people with whom we disagree. Our circles, our workplaces, even our families, are a likely a mix of liberals, conservatives, progressives and populists. We may differ in our religions, our worldviews and our ideas about the solutions to our nation’s problems, but we must do so with civility. It simply isn’t feasible to live in a silo insulated from others. In the end, it is our differences that give our country strength. So left, right, or somewhere in between, please take advantage of the gift so many fought to win and preserve for us: Vote. Then go one step further. Listen with patience, tolerance and an open mind to those who vote differently. In these divided times, while condemning political violence of all kinds, we must try to understand each other and find common ground.

FAUQUIER FLASHBACKS: FROM THE FAUQUIER TIMES In 1943, C. M. Sauer opened a ‘Five-and-Dime’ variety store on the corner of Main and present-day Second Street in Warrenton. In May 1953, Sauer swapped businesses with Carl Braun, who had a similar store in Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Braun had the Warrenton business until 1963, when it was sold to the S. h. Kress Co. It is now the home of Molly’s Irish Pub. 75 Years Ago Nov. 4, 1943 The Fauquier 4-H Club boys made a clean sweep of the State Milking Contest held Saturday in Lynchburg. The Dairy Club was named the outstanding dairy club in the state. L.H. Eicher, vice president, was named outstanding dairyman; and Giles Early was the high individual in the milking contest. Army Capt. George W. Dickerson of Warrenton was photographed with fellow officers on an island battlefield in the Pacific. Dickerson, 25, was president of his class all four years at Warrenton High School and graduated in 1941 from VPI. The Fauquier Democrat this week was admitted to membership in the Audit Bureau of Circulations, becoming the second weekly newspaper in Virginia to be able to claim ABC membership. 50 Years Ago Nov. 7, 1968 Suspense film director Alfred Hitchcock was photographed on the set of a scene for his forthcoming film Topaz at Ayrshire Farm, Upperville. Also, in the photo was John Forsythe, who played a CIA agent in the movie adaptation of Leon Uris’ novel about espionage. Middleburg artist Custer Cassidy has demonstrated again with his Cassidy Cartoon Calendar for 1969, with 12 drawings of horses and riders in trouble.

Airman Raymond W. Gill Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Gill of Warrenton, has completed the U.S. Navy’s firefighting school at Mayport Naval Station, Florida. He is currently attached to Attack Squadron 174 and is undergoing familiarization with the A-7 aircraft. The Fauquier Red Cross has shipped nearly 100 ditty bags filled with goodies and useful items to the armed forces in Vietnam. 25 Years Ago Nov. 3, 1993 Just as the Democrats headed to Washington earlier this year, the Republicans are on their way to Richmond. Locally, Republican candidate for the 31st District seat in the House of Delegates Jay Katzen will fill the seat currently held by first-term Democrat Jerry Wood. Midland’s Dwight Robinson has run his way into the James Madison University football record book with the second kickoff return touchdown of his career. Robinson, a redshirt junior, returned the opening kickoff of Saturday’s game at William and Mary 90 yards for his second touchdown runback of the season. Fauquier High School Homecoming King Matt McGee was photographed giving Homecoming Queen Casey Schaeffer a ‘peck on the cheek’ at Friday night’s game against Osbourn Park. — Compiled by John T.

For thoughtful government — the way it used to be — vote for Kaine Do you regret the loss of civility in politics today? Do you wonder what happened to the “art of compromise” that enabled politicians to actually pass meaningful legislation? Do you yearn for the past history of people like former President Ronald Reagan and former House Speaker Tip O’Neill who could each preach the “party line” to the press and then hash out a real compromise over a phone call? Boy, I sure do! That’s why I write this letter in support of Tim Kaine, our incumbent senator now running for re-election in Virginia. I could tell you that he

works hard every day to make good jobs, health care and education available to all Virginians. Tim’s focus is on how to unite our commonwealth and help grow our economy; give Virginians more health-care options for less money; and protect us from threats at home and abroad. Yes, he does do all of that, and much more. But if you vote Democrat, you already know that, and, if you are a voting Republican, it’s worth knowing. Well, how about this? A vote for Tim is a vote in the direction of civil discourse, of working compromise, of decency and

Riggleman the outsider’s choice for 5th District Denver Riggleman is an outsider who will bring common sense solutions to Washington that benefit Virginians, not lobbyists and establishment politicians. Denver is committed to the principles of small government, economic freedom, and personal liberty. He knows government works best when it stays out of the way of Virginia families and small businesses. Democrats are pulling out all the stops to keep Riggleman out of Washington. They know he will be a reliable vote for lower taxes, spending cuts, and health care freedom. In other words, the exact opposite of the policy agenda of the so-called progressive left. But Denver Riggleman also makes establishment Republicans sweat. As a candidate who firmly believes in protecting the rights of the individual, Riggleman has committed to join the House Freedom Caucus if elected. Members of the HFC are among the only representatives in Congress who put principle before political party. When Republican leadership proposes a budget-busting $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, they answer back with a resounding “NO” vote. Denver Riggleman cares about

issues that impact Virginians in the 5th District, which is why he supports further tax cuts to middle class families. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which Riggleman supports, has saved Virginia families more than $1,200 on average. Denver Riggleman will fight to return even more tax dollars to hard-working Virginia families, rather than wasting the money on inefficient government programs. Denver Riggleman will be a fighter for citizens of the 5th District. He will join the ranks of those in the House Freedom Caucus who bring fiscal responsibility and plain old common sense back to Washington. When entrenched members of the Beltway political establishment scoff at an outsider candidate such as Riggleman, it can only mean good things. It means they know their pay-to-play scheme is over. Denver Riggleman is the obvious choice to shake up the status quo and special interests in Washington. For those who want a representative who listens and fights for us daily, Denver Riggleman deserves our vote.

Tuesday, Nov. 6, will be an important day for many American citizens. On that day, millions of Americans will go to the voting booth for the purposes of:

conventions may be impacted by the results of the 2018 mid-term elections. How can one prepare themselves to fulfill this important task? Here are some suggestions:

Martha Boneta FreedomWorks activist Paris, Virginia

Prepare yourself to fulfill an important task

1. Voting on issues/questions and 2. Electing candidates to various offices. As they enter the voting booth, they will make decisions regarding the following: A. Voting on various issues and ballot questions B. Electing approximately onethird of the United States Senate C. Electing all 435 representatives in the US House of Representatives D. Electing various state officials — governors, lieutenant governors and other state officials E. Electing members of state legislatures — state House and State Senate F. Electing various local officials In addition, the total number of delegates that a state or territory may send to the 2020 national party

1. Study and research all important domestic and foreign issues and questions. Get to know each one well. 2. For each office and candidate develop an “ideal office/candidate profile.” Match all candidates for that particular office against your “profile.” Vote for the candidate who comes closest to your “profile.” 3. Take the time to go to the polls and vote. 4. Your vote is important. Do not take it for granted. Your right to vote was bought and paid for by the sacrifice of many brave Americans. As my southern friends would say, “Y’all come on down to the voting booth.” See you at the polls. Bob Wright Warrenton

compassion for one’s fellow humans. A vote for his opponent, Mr. Stewart, is a vote for the ongoing reckless, hateful, reality show government we have today. Perhaps it’s best if one forgets, for the sake of this election, whether one is a “D” or an “R” and votes for the candidate based on deliberative, thoughtful government; the way it used to be! Wouldn’t that be great? George Ohrstrom Berryville

With so much at stake, vote on November 6 It isn’t an exaggeration to say that this election is the most important one we’ve faced in decades. While it might have been easy in the past to simply cast your vote for your party’s candidate, this is a time for each of us to pause and carefully consider what is at stake. Before I get to that, I’ll let you in on a little secret. Although born into a family of Democrats, I have happily voted for Republican candidates in the past. There was a time when moderate Republicans worked hand in hand with Democrats to address policy issues and they promoted sensible, thoughtful solutions. No longer. The Republican Party has been hijacked by extremists and the welfare of our country is not as important as pandering to the wealthiest donors and maintaining control of their party. What does that mean for you and me? Health Care: Denver Riggleman and Corey Stewart have both vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act without any good option to replace it. The Republican candidates believe that the “free market” will give you a better deal than the government. This is folly. The health insurance companies, absent any federal or state regulation, are going to squeeze you to make a buck — consider the cost of prescription drugs. They aren’t going to give you a better deal than a government regulated system that drives down costs to enable all of us to afford the medical treatments we need. For example, without the ACA, pre-existing conditions will either get you rejected or make your premiums sky high. Also, your children will be ineligible for coverage on your family plan after the age of 21. Who knows, maybe they’ll make it 18. So, if you want affordable health care for you and your children vote Democrat — Leslie Cockburn and Tim Kaine. Medicare and Social Security: Denver Riggleman and Corey Stewart align themselves with the Freedom Caucus. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will be on the chop-

ping block under Republican majority rule. Why? Republican politicians don’t consider them entitlement programs even though we pay into them throughout our work lives and have earned those benefits. Cutting those programs is a popular Republican strategy to help pay for the huge deficit that now exists thanks to the tax break that Republicans generously granted to our nation’s wealthiest individuals and corporations. If you want to reap the full benefit of your Medicare and Social Security entitlements, vote Democrat — Leslie Cockburn and Tim Kaine. Pro-Life or Pro-Birth: Denver Riggleman and Corey Stewart describe themselves as “pro life” but, their concern for individuals born into this world apparently ends at birth. Isn’t birth only the beginning and not the end game? If you strictly vote for one candidate due to their position on abortion, can you tolerate all the other consequences of supporting these Freedom Caucus candidates? They will work to slash or end vital domestic programs such as subsidies for health care, food, clothing, housing, and early childhood education that would offer a safety net for those infants born to single and needy parents. You can vote for someone who cares about supporting our most vulnerable little citizens and still see the abortion issue addressed through the courts. If you believe in protecting lives beyond the womb and want to ensure that babies born to single or needy parents are given a decent start in life vote Democrat — Leslie Cockburn and Tim Kaine. These are among several vital issues and you might also be concerned about gun safety, immigration reform, and protecting our environment.

Rep. Rob Wittman: My stance on health care Last week, this publication attempted to describe my position on health care. However, they got it wrong and I feel the need to set the record straight. They are correct in that I have voted to repeal or amend the Affordable Care Act. Why? I was there when Nancy Pelosi stood at the front of the House Chamber and told us we had to vote for the law to know what’s in it. That bill passed without a single vote from House Republicans, and the law has been a failure from the beginning. Although I didn’t, and still do not, support

the ACA I have long supported several principles included in it; actually, before they were included in the ACA. Those provisions include protecting coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, allowing young people to stay on a parent’s plan and eliminating lifetime caps for insurance coverage. I have met with countless constituents, providers, and administrators across the 1st0 Congressional District and they have told me how the ACA has failed to deliver on its promises to lower costs, increase access to care,

Vote Democratic to protect Medicare, Medicaid Medicare and Medicaid were enacted in 1965 and are funded by a payroll tax deduction. Civilian workers and military members have been paying in for their entire working life and are entitled to benefits when they retire. The 2019 Republican budget includes a Medicare cut of $537 billion! Anyone who currently uses Medicare or who has planned to use it should be outraged. The bill also calls for privatization with a voucher to purchase private insurance. Is this what you bargained for? What happened to campaign promises not to cut Medicare? The new budget has large cuts to Social Security predominantly affecting the disabled and has large cuts to Medicaid, predominantly affecting children, the disabled and low-income people. The new budget also has major changes to the Affordable Care Act with cuts in subsidies, resulting in

increased premiums and putting those with pre-existing conditions in jeopardy. The Medicaid expansion would be repealed, resulting in 1417 million people losing their coverage. There were empty campaign promises to do something about reducing drug prices. Medicare is currently banned from negotiating prices with pharmaceutical companies by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. It ought to be easy to eliminate this ban, but repeated attempts by the Democrats have been blocked by Republicans. If you are interested in reducing drug costs and keeping Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and ACA benefits for yourself or others who rely on them, vote Democratic on Nov. 6 and elect Tim Kaine and Leslie Cockburn. Anne Burhans Broad Run

and expand choice. We need a health care system that empowers individuals and families to make decisions for themselves based on what best fits their needs, wants, and budget. I support a path forward for repealing and replacing the ACA with patient-provider centered reforms that expand choices for consumers, increase access to care, and reduce health care costs. Rep. Rob Wittman (VA-01)

‘Fed up’ after 11 years with Corey Stewart

I’m a life-long Virginian who moved to Prince William County in 2007, when Corey Stewart became chairman of our board of supervisors. As a political independent, I’m fed up with the misleading campaign rhetoric, empty promises and divisive scare tactics that Corey Stewart — and some other candidates from both major parties — use to try to hide problems with their character, lack of accomplishments or failed leadership. As a result of Chairman Stewart’s failed leadership, Prince William County has the most overcrowded classrooms in all of Virginia, some of the most congested roads in the nation, increasing crime, an inadequate commercial tax base, massive county debt and other major problems. And our problems are getting worse. Stewart has chosen to sacrifice our quality of life to satisfy his own self-interest in election campaign contributions from new home developers and related special

interest groups. Details about these and other countywide problems, including the source of our facts, are in “The REAL 2018 State of Prince William County,” published on the Citizens Alliance of Prince William website (www.citizensallianceofprincewilliam.org). I founded this nonpartisan organization almost two years ago to fight out-of-control rezoning and new home development, raise awareness of our county’s problems and encourage citizens to begin to fix them by electing new county supervisors in 2019. This satisfies what I feel to be my obligation to expose what I’ve learned during 11 years of experience with Corey Stewart. Please vote on Nov. 6 for the future of your family and Virginia.

Sweet things are her forte Signature Sweets by Amanda offers a variety of confections from cake pops to wedding cakes By Gabriela Tobar Contributing Writer

Inspired by her late grandmother, Amanda Keeney began Signature Sweets By Amanda in 2012. Since then she has immersed herself in a career as a pastry chef. Keeney’s grandmother passed down her books, recipes and pans. From those, Keeney’s desire to honor her grandmother’s legacy and recreate those kitchen memories has taken her on a journey from earning her culinary and pastry degree at Stratford University to now owning her own business. She started by baking cakes for friends and quickly discovered that more and more people liked what she did. She’s grown her business from cakes to donuts, macarons, cupcakes, cake pops and other small confections. Signature Sweets By Amanda began six years ago and has become a popular cake business in Northern Virginia. “This is my life. I work 24/7 on cakes and I very rarely get the night off on a Saturday depending on what I have going on Sunday,” said Keeney. “My business is from sunup to sundown for me.” The name Signature Sweets By Amanda was created from a decision Keeney made back in high school with help from her mother. Keeney wanted to make more than just cakes—she wanted to make sure people knew who made them. Keeney’s work, at just 25, was recently featured in The Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot Magazine: Best of 2018 Weddings. But Keeney does much more than only wedding cakes. She makes confections for a variety of events that include indulging flavors and fillings. Signature Sweets has fast become a recommended cake vendor throughout Northern Virginia. Keeney has garnered awards for her decorating techniques and baking skill. All of Keeney’s fillings are made from scratch

Red Truck Bakery owner Brian Noyes debuts a cookbook just in time for holiday gift-giving. It’s full of scrumptious scone recipes, marvelous muffins, biscuits-to-beg-for and more.

To many of his Fauquier County friends and neighbors, Brian Noyes is a hometown country gentleman, even if he did grow up in California. Following a career in art design in Washington, D.C., he finally made his way to this splendid outdoor space. In 2008, at the height of the recession, Brian abandoned his career to follow his passion for baking.

The acclaimed Red Truck Bakery was born in his Shenandoah Valley farmhouse and, quite literally, out of the back of his old red truck (which he had purchased from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger). The bakery began in an old gas station building on the corner of Waterloo and Ashby in Warrenton and grew quickly. A few years later, his Main Street store in Marshall followed.

Sweet things are her forte SWEETS, from page 11 Keeney is part of a nonprofit charity organization for children called Icing Smiles. This program provides cakes and treats from participating local vendors to families affected by a child’s illness. “It is one of the most rewarding feelings to see a smile as the end result of making a cake for someone,” said Keeney. “Getting to see faces light up positively is what I do it for.” Signature Sweets By Amanda is located in Old Town Warrenton and is operated out of her home. Keeney bought the home with two kitchens to make sure she had the separate space for everything. Within her first months of living there she outgrew her pastry kitchen, leading her to transform an extra bedroom to a production space. Keeney has managed to get six to eight wedding orders done in one weekend alone. “I’ve stayed up until eight in the morning to finish up a cake,” said Keeney. “It’s what I do from when

I wake up to when I go to bed.” On average, for more undemanding weddings, a cake can take up to five hours from bake-time to decorating time – others can take as long as 16 hours. Though juggling time can always be an issue with peak wedding seasons, Keeney suggests clients book their orders at least two weeks in advance. “Some of the most challenging parts of the process is trying to be in two places at once,” said Keeney. “Driving the cakes around and delivering is another.” She has delivered orders from Charlottesville to Leesburg and has even traveled to West Virginia to deliver a cake. She offers free deliveries to her wedding orders located in Fauquier County. “I have definitely learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t work, what people like and what they don’t,” said Keeney, in regard to baking and decorating her cakes. “It’s a huge thing for me to be working on something that I don’t know what the end result is going to look like, but

Home prices remain high as inventory falls Greater Piedmont Realtors is a trade association of real estate professionals and affiliate members serving the counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock. Its mission is to provide outstanding services and leadership to help their members be successful and profitable in real estate. They produce a quarterly report which reflects housing activity in the five counties they represent.

Regional summary

As the summer housing market comes to a close in the Greater Piedmont region, there are some early signs of a slow-down, however it is still too early to tell if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here to stay. Sales declined in the region for the second quarter in a row. Flattening sales have also occurred in the national-level housing market, which could suggest a softening of demand. Despite declining sales, home prices in the region continue to rise, a reflection of the low level of active listings available and continued buyer demand locally. Summary highlights from the market data this quarter include: Home prices continue to rise steadily in the region, a trend that has been occurring now for five years. The average sales price rose 5.3 percent and the median sales price climbed 5.0 percent compared to the third quarter of 2017. For the second consecutive quarter

there were fewer sales in the Greater Piedmont region compared to last year. Sales fell 8.0 percent from last year, the sharpest drop in four years. Sold dollar volume declined by 3.2 percent from a year ago, the second decline in nearly two years. Even with the rise in sales prices in the region, the decline in sales led to the drop in dollar volume. The average days on market continues to decline in the region, a reflection of the low inventory available. On average homes sold in 71 days in the Greater Piedmont region, three days faster than last year. Culpeper and Orange counties were the only jurisdictions in the region to see an increase in the number of active listings, rising 11.5 percent and 3.7 percent respectively compared to last year.

How did Fauquier County fair in the third quarter?

Sales: For the second consecutive quarter, there were fewer sales in the Greater Piedmont region compared to last year. There were 697 sales in the third quarter of 2018, 61 fewer than the same time last year, an 8.0 percent decline. This is the sharpest quarter-over-quarter decline in sales for the region in four years, though it is still too early to determine if a trend is emerging. Declining sales also occurred at the county-level: Fauquier County: There were 287

sales in Fauquier County in the third quarter, down 3.4 percent from a year ago, a drop of 10 sales Home Prices: Despite the declining sales in the region, home prices continue to rise at the region-level and in many of the counties. The increasing sales prices are reflective of limited supply of active listings which remains at a historically low level. At $363,980 the average sales price in the region rose more than $18,000 from the third quarter a year ago, a 5.3 percent increase. Similar trends occurred with the median sales price. At $315,000, the median sales price in the Greater Piedmont Region rose 5.0 percent from this time last year, a gain of $15,000. Fauquier County: At $394,000 the median sales price in Fauquier County rose 2.3 percent compared to the third quarter of 2017, a gain of $9,000. Active Listings: The number of active listings in the region remained relatively flat compared to last year. There were 1,149 active listings at the end of the third quarter, two fewer than a year ago, a modest 0.2 percent drop. The inventory of homes for sales

has been declining sharply for the past few years, this quarter is the first sign of moderation for this metric. Several of the counties in the region also had relatively small reductions in the number of active listings and some had increases compared to last year. Fauquier County: There were 436 active listings in Fauquier County at the end of the third quarter, down 7.6 percent from the same quarter last year, a decline of 36 listings. Days on Market: Homes continue to sell faster in most of the Greater Piedmont Region which indicates strong demand in the market and a low supply of active listings available. On average, homes sold in 71 days, which is three days faster than the third quarter a year ago. Notably, about one out of every four homes sold in the third quarter region-wide were on the market for 10 days or less. Fauquier County: On average homes sold in 74 days in Fauquier County in the 3rd quarter, 6 days slower than this same time last year. Source: Lisa Sturtevant and Associates, LLC

I WANT THE LEAD BEFORE THE WOODS Matthews wins district cross country title by whopping 17 seconds By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

Nick Matthews knew the starting line at last week’s Class 4 Northwestern District boys cross country championship at Millbrook High featured a wide expanse before narrowing considerably as the trail hit a wooded section. Passing runners is more difficult in the woods, so Matthews planned to go fast early. The Fauquier senior sprinted to the lead and won by more than 17 seconds in 15 minutes, 58.8 seconds over 5,000 meters. “I just wanted to get out there from the git go; make it my race. I knew the competition I was up against, but I felt confident in my ability to get out there and get the job done,” said Matthews who finished well ahead of Sherando’s James Harris (16:16). “Nick just kept gaining and gaining ... all by himself. He did what we asked him to,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones. In the team competition, James Wood’s boys won a narrow 60-62 decision over Milbrook, with Fauquier hot on their heels at 68. Sherando (89), Handley (107), Liberty (159) and Kettle Run (197) completed the field. Other scorers for the Fauquier boys were Brian Bolles (7th, 16:34), John Paccassi (18th, 17:11), Ryan Godfrey (19th, 17:13), Stephen Hiner (23rd, 17:23), Kyle St. Clair (26th, 17:27) and Mark Zitzmann (27th, 17:28). Liberty sophomore Sam Rodman took fourth in 16:20.8, 1.1 seconds

We didn’t do that,” the disappointed coach said.

Millbrook roared to the girls title with 20 points to 68 for runner-up James Wood, followed by Handley (82), Fauquier (93), Sherando (100)

Matthews sees Wednesday’s region meet at hilly Oatlands as a chance for the boys’ team to atone. “It plays to our strengths more,” Matthews began. “We’ve predicated our success on being gritty and grinding out those tougher courses. I like our chances.” Only the top three teams and

Gabby Finan makes Cougar golf history By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer

Gabby Finan became the first Kettle Run golfer in history to play in the VHSL Girls Open state meet. The freshman tied for 48th with a score of 188 in the two-day tournament at Springfield Golf Club on Oct. 23. “Making states exceeded any expectations I had for myself,” Finan said. “I know I could’ve done much better, so I can’t wait for next season.” She shot a 95 Monday and a 93 Tuesday to finish 44-over par. Her rounds included one birdie on the par-5 10th hole Monday, and she finished the meet with par on 12 holes.

Eagles, Falcons have plenty of Bird Bowl motivation By Peter Brewington Times Staff Writer

Friday’s traditional Fauquier Times-sponsored Bird Bowl has sneaky relevance. Yes, county rivals Liberty and Fauquier have combined for a gloomy 4-14 record. And are not playoff bound. But there’s plenty of historical significance. At 4-5, Liberty is seeking to avoid only its third losing season in 20 years. Only the 1999 and 2016 Eagles teams

finished under .500. For 0-9 Fauquier, the picture is bleaker as the Falcons are trying to avoid matching the worst season in school history. The Falcons went 0-10 in 1980. The Falcons’ next three worst seasons are 0-9-1 in 1967 and 1-9 each in 1979 and 1983. Given that the Eagles have won 15 straight Bird Bowls dating back to 2002, a loss to Fauquier would be an eye-opener. The Falcons last beat the

Eagles in 2007 in the season opener. “I told the kids that they still have a lot to play for because it is a big rivalry game,” Liberty coach Sean Finnerty said. “Fauquier always comes and gives us a lot because it is such a big rivalry.” Fauquier is coming off a 49-6 loss to Sherando, while Liberty is looking to rebound from last week’s crucial 36-12 loss to Millbrook that crippled the Eagles’ playoff chances.

of mine since third grade,” she said. “I’m still working on that second part.” Austin Finan was Kettle Run’s No. 1 golfer in 2015 as a senior. “I’ve watched her since sixth grade, so knew she would be good, but I didn’t know she would mature as a golfer this quick,” Cougars coach Dale Edwards said. Finan qualified for the girls state meet this season via a Zone Qualifier on Oct. 18 at Bowling Green Country Club. She tied for third with a round of 74, only five strokes behind champion Sydney Hackett of Rock Ridge. A Kettle Run teammate, Payton Fiel, tied for 13th at the Zone Qualifier with a round of 94 with Harper Crater shooting 107 to tie for 22nd and Lauren Leonard shooting a 109 to tie for 24th. For Liberty, Julia Gleason finished 18th with a 99 and Emily Markley shot 103 to tie for 20th.

Kettle Run

Week 10 standouts: The Colonels’ Jackson Turner had 97 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries while Malachi Imoh had 139 yards on 23 carries. Notes: A James Wood victory would give the Colonels their most wins since 2010 (matching five wins in 2015 and 2014). A Kettle Run victory would give the Cougars their second consecutive nine-win season.

BIG AIR

McCusker’s aerial pass helps Falcons move closer to field hockey state tournament By Fred Hodge

Special to the Times

If you can’t go through a defense, then go over it. Fauquier sophomore Abby McCusker delivered a risky surprise airborne pass to help the Falcons deliver a game-ending blow in a 1-0 overtime win over Loudoun County in the regional field hockey quarterfinals on Oct. 24. Lucy Arnold converted the winning goal with 8 minutes, 17 seconds left in the 15-minute OT session to send the No. 4-seeded Falcons (10-5) on to face No. 1 Riverside (16-1) for a berth in the Class 4 state tournament. McCusker said passes in the air are dangerous, but noted, “I’m good at judging how far they’ll go, so I just sent it to Lucy. Lucy was wide open in the middle of the circle.” Before the goal, the Raiders established a defensive line with their sticks poised to stop a low pass in a free hit situation. But McCusker jumped the defense. “They had a ring, and they thought I was going to drive so all their sticks were down,” McCusker said. Arnold said she was a little above the stroke line. “I knocked it down and cranked a shot into the bottom right corner,” the euphoric junior said. “It was such a good feeling to be able to help the team out again.” “It was a really smart play. A very mature play that was very well thought out,” said coach Brooke Settle. “She used it at the right time and

Falcons rule the Northwestern District By Fred Hodge

Cougars, Eagles ousted

Special to the Times

Fauquier sent its seven volleyball seniors out with a bang last Thursday. The host Falcons (17-4) captured the Class 4 Northwestern District regular season championship with a 25-19, 25-20, 25-17 sweep of James Wood in Fauquier’s Senior Night, giving Fauquier the No. 1 seed for this week’s league tournament. More importantly, the Falcons are guaranteed a berth in next week’s Region 4C tournament, which starts Nov. 5. Fauquier finished 11-1 in the district, Millbrook 10-2 and James Wood 9-3. The match avenged a 3-0 loss at James Wood that was the Falcons’ lone league defeat. “We didn’t want to have the threeway tie. We knew we had to be confident coming in,” said libero Rachel Crowe. “I would say we went in with redemption in mind because when we went up there, we didn’t play well at all,” said coach Diana Story. “It was about coming out and showing what we really could do.” The Falcons were much improved defensively, showed a more explosive hitting game and established early rhythm in the rematch. “It was important that we came out ready to play and show what we could do,” Story stressed. “If you give them any room, they are going to take it and

Falcon senior Kiki Scott served two points, and following a rally point, Crowe delivered a four-point service run, aided by a pair of thunderous Molly Ayres spikes for a 1916 Fauquier lead. Set point resulted from a Scott kill. Fauquier slowly began to establish breathing room in the third set. A pair of rally points and a Scott kill opened an 8-6 edge. Jennifer Adgate

served three points behind the net play of Kayla Pavlock and Scott for an 11-7 advantage. James Wood never drew closer than three points.

Owned by Fenwick in partnership with Mike Hankin and Charles Noell, Doc Cebu set a course record winning last year’s International Gold Cup. Trainer Jack Fisher said last year’s 11-length drubbing may have been faster, but Saturday’s victory was more decisive. “He handled the ground, no problem,” said Fisher of Doc Cebu over the yielding turf on the cloudy, cool afternoon. “He had to knuckle down to shake (Le Chevalier.)” Frost broke Doc Cebu sharply, with Le Chevalier second until current leading rider Doyle sensed Frost was choking down the pace and moved Le Chevalier to the lead. When Le Chevalier began to weaken approaching the last two fences in the stretch, Doc Cebu took command and drew clear at the wire. The win lifted Doc Cebu’s 2018 earnings to $102,000 and moved him ahead of Maryland Hunt Cup and Grand National winner Senior Senator, who has $90,000 in the bank. Fenwick acquired Doc Cebu off the flat in a two-horse deal for $12,000 in 2016. He ran him through the first, and last, NSA steeplechase auction at Great Meadow, but the unproven horse was first in the sales ring and didn’t draw a single bid. “I was driving home to Maryland after the sale,” Fenwick recalled. “I was sad, and mad, but I thought, what the heck, I sort of like this horse. I’ll just put him in training and see what we’ve got.” And the rest is history. “Today was a classic timber race,” said Fenwick, the sport’s leading timber jockey in the 1970s and 1980s. Favored at 6-5, Doc Cebu paid $4.40 to win after running the distance in 7:30.90. Full results and more photos are at nationalsteeplechase.com

FAMILY TIME

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | October 31, 2018

Armed with awareness about human trafficking In early September, I attended an event held at Taylor Middle School. It was organized by a friend and professional colleague of mine, Amelia Stansell. Amelia and I also sit on a board – Be the Change Foundation – that encourages women to embrace entrepreneurship. Amelia is a vice president at Middleburg Bank, an adjunct professor at Lord Fairfax Community College, a member of Rotary, is active at Our Saviour Lutheran Church, chairs Experience Old Town Warrenton, is active in the Fauquier Chamber and the list goes on. I’m confident she wouldn’t be offended when I say that Amelia is Type A on steroids. If Amelia is on the agenda or in the room at a meeting, things will happen…and pretty quickly. High performance is just in her DNA and I admire her grit, energy and heart. The event at Taylor was a community conversation on human trafficking. Not a subject that is on everyone’s lips and not a subject that most folks want to believe is happening here. This is a subject that you hear about on the news and think foreign countries and poor victimized young girls. That is true. But the version in the states is perhaps more insidious because it can happen while your teenager is in the bedroom on the computer. It can happen innocently among friends that introduce friends to other friends. It’s not so much a quick grab in the dark but a subtle lure over time in the guise of a new romance. As parents and caregivers, we do our best to protect our children but when trouble

If you go FROM WHERE I SIT ANITA SHERMAN comes knocking it helps to know who is at the door. The community conversation was just that. Amelia, with two daughters of her own, assembled a team of presenters including Sheriff Bob Mosier, a representative from the FBI, Bill Woolf, executive director of Just Ask Prevention Project, a representative from the Northern Virginia Human Trafficking Initiative and most poignantly, Susan, the mother of a trafficking survivor from Fairfax County. “She could be me,” Amelia sadly shared after that event. This mother was completely caught off guard when her daughter fell prey to the advances of a clever human trafficker. Middle class, educated, stay-at-home mom and vigilant with her daughter’s use of social media. How could it happen? But it did. According to Mosier, there have been no convictions in Fauquier County of human trafficking but there have been cases that started here but ended up in other counties. At one point in Mosier’s career, he served with the International Justice Mission, a human-rights organization, as

North County Community Conversation about Human Trafficking Wednesday, Nov. 7, 6:30-8 p.m. Marshall Middle School 4048 Zulla Road, Marshall South County Community Conversation about Human Trafficking Wednesday, Nov 14, 6:30-8 p.m. Cedar Lee Middle School 1138 Marsh Road, Bealeton director of investigations working in Asia, Middle and Near East, Africa and Latin America. While there, he was all too familiar with human trafficking and its tragic consequences. Amelia was very touched when she heard accounts from the director of Just Ask Prevention. A grateful phone call from a grandmother, armed with material from that organization, helped her recognize the early warning signs that her granddaughter was being groomed into trafficking and prevent it before it happened. The conversation went on for about another 20 minutes or so as she shared the rest of her story and sought some additional resources and support, but at the end of the conversation the last thing she said was, “if it wasn’t for you, I would have lost my granddaughter forever, please don’t ever stop doing what you are doing, it is so important.” According to Just Ask Prevention,

their work is a team effort. This grandmother’s words were very inspiring. They went on to say that our communities are facing a new threat, one that has the potential to overtake the drug trade in the next couple of years. The threat of human trafficking is one that has the potential to take the lives and innocence of our own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or other kids within our community. This is the big ‘why’ for Amelia and the team that she has assembled for these community conversations. Just as with the opioid crisis, there is no one cure all or solution that will forever fix the problem. But, when we are armed with awareness, we’re all better off. That is the intent of these conversations – to become better informed and hopefully not be caught off guard. I give Amelia huge credit for her efforts in this area and only laud her many accomplishments because they are so inspiring. To say that she has a full plate is an understatement. But, when she looks in the mirror, she asks herself, “Why not me? Why shouldn’t I do something?” She’s a catalyst for change, for making things happen and her latest mission – spreading the word about human trafficking is yet another worthy cause. As always, she has assembled a caring and driven team. It’s what she does best. Several hundred attended the September conversation and I suspect as many will attend the upcoming ones. Conversations not to be missed.

Ruritans make communities better By Anita L. Sherman Community Editor

The atmosphere was festive and the greetings friendly and warm as members, past members, special guests and friends gathered for cocktails and dinner at The Inn at Vint Hill on Thursday, Oct. 11. They were there to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Catlett, Casanova, Calverton Ruritans, a service group organized in Fauquier County in 1938. Ruritan Clubs, the first chartered in Holland, Virginia, have served America’s communities with fellowship, goodwill and community service since 1928. Morgan Applegate was there with his mother, Jane, a member for 12 years. Morgan, who has worked at Liberty Mutual for more than 10 years, honors his father’s legacy by contributing a $1,500 scholarship to the Ruritans each year, a generous gift that Nick Applegate was known for doing when Morgan attended Liberty High School. One of the club’s oldest members, Martin Dove, has been with the club for 52 years. His work spans years with the volunteer fire and rescue department, not only working, but training others. A scoutmaster for 30 years, Dove’s reach extends into numerous charitable organizations. Known in sports circles for his longstanding soccer camps, Chip Rohr hails from Manassas. He spoke at the gathering about his early mem-

Rohr couldn’t remember exactly when Casanova was added but it seemed perfectly logical that they should be included. A member for nearly 30 years, Rohr has vivid recollection of his impression when asked by friends to attend a meeting in Fauquier. “The men were all wearing suits and ties,” recalls Rohr, “these are the kind of fine people that I want to be involved with.” Friendship and fellowship kept Rohr crossing county lines to anchor himself as a CCC Ruritan member. “These are fine people doing fine things,” emphasized Rohr.

Glen Miselle, a member for 26 years, remembers in the early 90s storing wood in Wilbur Burton’s barn that would be distributed to needy homes. Ruritan National Director Dennis Bagnell commended the club for their 80 years of service. A former Fauquier County Board of Supervisor, Jay van Gelder serves as a Zone Governor.

Casting call for Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ Fauquier Community Theatre holds tryouts for March 2019 production Fauquier Community Theatre is pleased to announce a casting call for the production of William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” Auditions will be held at Fauquier Enterprise Center, 4137 Weeks Drive, Warrenton, on Friday, Nov. 2, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. Callbacks by invitation only are Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 p.m. For more information and to register for an audition, visit www.FCTstage.org or call 540-3498760. “As You Like It” is one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies. The most recognizable line from the play begins “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances,” vocalized the character Jaques in the play. Director Maggie Bausch is seeking actors ages 15 and up. “I’m also asking people who can sing, dance, or play a musical instrument to come out to audition,” she says, “because this is one of the most musical of Shakespeare’s works. People with familiarity and enthusiasm for Shakespeare are especially welcome!” The show is being produced by Don Richardson, a longtime volunteer with many years of experience at FCT both on stage and off stage. “As You Like It” will be performed from March 8-24, 2019. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Reserved seating is available online at: www.FCTstage.org or by calling 540-349-8760. Early reservations are recommended for favorite seating options. Founded in 1978, FCT is a nonprofit that enriches and entertains a wide range of audiences through a variety of live productions that enhance the cultural life of the community. Cultivating an appreciation of the performing arts, FCT offers quality performances, educates through experience, participates in community activities, and partners with other groups. FCT is supported in part by Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment of the Arts.

Library seeks photos of veterans Hats off to those who have decorated Main Street. A 4-year old boy stopped at one of the scarecrows and wouldn’t pass it. His grandfather went over and “talked” to the scary figure to alleviate the boy’s fears. While his grandfather was occupied with the scarecrow, the little boy ran past them both as fast as he could. So, if you haven’t seen the Halloween decorations on Main Street, you need to walk, not run, and enjoy the creative scarecrows. As we are nearing Veterans Day, the Fauquier County Library is seek-

Remember to be safe this Halloween Happy Halloween! I hope everyone is safe when out trick-or-treating. Be sure to take a flashlight and have an adult with your child when they go to other houses. I remember as a child the rule was to only go to houses that have their outside lights on. I’m not sure if that rule still applies, but it certainly seems like a good one to follow. Today is Edna Bender’s birthday. Edna’s family and friends wish her a very happy birthday and many more years filled with happiness, too! Happy birthday, Edna! The Billy Plott Memorial Spaghetti Dinner at Wesleyan United Methodist Church was a huge success. The Plott Family sends blessings of gratitude to those who attended. We hope you enjoyed the dinner and we also hope to see you again next year. Mount Horeb United Methodist Church will be having its annual Ham and Turkey Dinner on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 5 to 7 p.m. The church will also offer a small bazaar, bake sale, food and fellowship. Fun for the whole family. Mount Horeb is at 10867 Elk Run Road, Catlett. A free-will donation will be accepted to help support local charities. When life, liberty and justice hang in the balance, the answer is prayer.

Learn about winter birds Join us for the final 2018 Sunday with the Library program – Winter Birds – on Sunday, Nov. 4, 2 p.m. at the Warrenton central library. According to the Virginia Avian Records Committee of the Virginia Society of Ornithology, more than 470 species of birds call Virginia home. While it is easy enough to identify the cardinal, robin or hawk in your backyard, many others may be less familiar. David Wiedenfeld, Senior Conservation Scientist for the American Bird Conservancy, will discuss birds that can be found in Fauquier County, highlighting birds that: • Winter in Fauquier County • Can be seen in your yard • Come to feeders • Feed on the ground • Don’t often come to feeders Sunday with the Library is a monthly series of author visits, presentations and lectures sponsored by Fauquier County Public Library and Friends of the Fauquier Library. Sunday with the Library is a free program. Details about 2019 Sunday with the Library programs will be re-

leased soon; upcoming topics include: • Folk Duo Andy and Judy Daigle • Fauquier Ghost Stories • Holiday Decorating • Native Plants Dr. Wiedenfeld received his doctorate from Florida State University. His work has focused on bird population ecology and conservation biology. He served for five years as director of research at the Sutton Avian Research Center and was head of the department of Vertebrate Ecology at the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands.

TIME AND EXPENSE By planning ahead, consumers can reduce some of the expense involved with conducting a funeral. Waiting until the time of need to make important choices forces the family of the deceased to make funeral spending decisions while consumed by grief and short on time. As a result, they are not in any mood to comparison shop for the most appropriate services and the best prices. This is not the shopping behavior that most consumers exhibit while making other significant purchases. With this in mind, individuals are encouraged to take advantage of our policy of providing an itemized list of our products and services while they have the time and temperament to preplan a funeral. If your wishes are unknown when you die, your loved ones will be faced with making difficult decisions at a trying time. Will they know if you wish to be buried or cremated? Will they agree on an open or closed casket? Will they agree on how much to spend? Confusion and disagreements are common occurrences when there is no plan to follow. You can avoid this by leaving behind a plan. To learn more about preplanning a funeral, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. Please stop by our tastefully appointed facility at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton, and be sure to ask about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, located just outside of Warrenton.

Elizabeth Cassell Carter Lineweaver (Bizz) Elizabeth Cassell Carter Lineweaver (Bizz) died peacefully at the age of 97 on October 24th at Kendal at Lexington, Virginia. She was “fine and dandy” until shortly before her death. Born October 6, 1921 in Warrenton, Bizz was the daughter of Howard Blackwell Carter and Lelia Cassell Wayman. After her mother’s death in 1929 she lived in Washington, DC with her aunt, Bessie Carter Linfoot and her husband Harry Linfoot. She remained in DC until 1940 when she transferred from American University to Westhampton College of the University of Richmond. In 1943 she married James Willard Lineweaver (Bill), a marriage that lasted 69 years until his death in 2012. Bill and Bizz had three daughters, Beth Knapp (John) of Lexington, Babs Alliman (Charles) of Orlean, and Bitsy Goldmeier (Michael) of Virginia Beach. Even though Bill was the more prominent member of the couple, having served on Warrenton’s town council for fifteen years and as mayor for 24 years, Bizz was never less important. Anyone who knew her realized that in another era she could have been mayor or a successful entrepreneur. Bill and the town relied on her good judgment and valued her opinion. Bizz was a driving force behind many of the beautification projects in the town, including the planting of the now mature trees on Broadview Avenue, Warrenton’s original bypass. In 1996 Bizz found at her doorstep a loose-leaf notebook containing the names, units of service, and dates of death of 520 Confederate soldiers believed to be buried in the mass grave beneath the monument to the 600 unknown “Defenders of Virginia” in the Warrenton Cemetery. Feeling strongly that everyone deserved a grave marker she sought the help of local landscape architect, Meade Palmer, and the Black Horse Chapter of the UDC. The “To Name the Fallen” undertaking was launched. Through their dedication and determination, a granite wall with the engraved names of each soldier, his unit, and date of death was erected around the original memorial. After eighteen months of fundraising, planning, and construction, the To Name the Fallen Memorial was dedicated on May 24, 1998. Having been owner of several buildings on Main Street as well H.B. Carter & Co., a family business started by her father, Bizz was determined that downtown Warrenton remain a place where people would continue to shop, dine, and live. Around 1985, upon learning that the U.S. Postal Service was planning to move the post office out of downtown Warrenton, Bizz, having ownership of the adjacent property, initiated the negotiations that assured the post office would remain on Main Street, where it is today. She was particularly proud of this accomplishment, and felt this effort was her greatest gift to a town she loved so much. Bizz was an accomplished seamstress and, by combining numerous patterns and styles, could meticulously craft her daughters’ school outfits, evening gowns, and costumes for school plays, as well as clothes for their dolls. She loved gardening, doing so until she moved from her home in 2012, and was a lifetime member of the Francis Fauquier Garden Club in Warrenton. She became interested in genealogy and spent years tracing her Carter lineage. Because of her research, Bizz was a member of the Jamestowne Society, Colonial Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Having discovered the miniature sculptures of Mary McGrath, Bizz became the largest collector of these pieces, the majority of which are done in one inch to one-foot scale. Collected over a period of fifteen years, these sculptures depict birds, small animals, and other wildlife and are truly remarkable in their detail and realism. Bill and Bizz loved to entertain and were gracious, welcoming hosts. The Lineweaver home became the site of countless parties, many legendary. Bizz was exceptionally organized and could entertain eight guests for a formal dinner or 200 for a pool party, all with ease and the ability to relax and enjoy the fun. Besides her daughters and sons-in-law, she is survived by six grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. The family will receive friends from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Friday, November 2nd at Moser Funeral Home, Warrenton. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to the Rockbridge Area Hospice, 315 Myers Street, Lexington, VA 24450.

OBITUARIES

Lt. Col. Donald G. O’Hara It is with great sadness that the family of Lieutenant Colonel Donald Gerald O’Hara announces his passing on Tuesday, October 9, 2018, at the age of 88 years. “The Colonel” will be heartbreakingly missed and lovingly remembered by his family and friends including his children: Kevin (Kim) O’Hara, Meghan (Jamie) O’Hara, Kathleen (Toby) Marvin, and Sean (Andrea) O’Hara; grandchildren: Jason (Autumn), Jennifer, Kelly (Joey) Lawrence, Katie, Conor, Liam, Cullen, Ian, Lindsey; greatgrandchildren: Savanah & Madison; and his brother Edward (Barb). He will also be missed by his relatives and many dear friends, especially his loving companion, Betty Snider. He was preceded in death by his parents, Edward & Catherine O’Hara; his sister, Patty Rodgers; and his wife, Connie O’Hara. Don graduated from Lincoln High School in Ellwood City, after having an outstanding athletic career since sixth grade. While in high school, he lettered for three years in both basketball and football, was the captain of the football team during his senior year and also the captain of the basketball team for his junior and senior years. “Duke” became Ellwood City’s Outstanding Athletic Personality for 1947-48. Don was offered a full football scholarship at Penn State College, and at that time following WWII all freshman were required to play at California State College of Pennsylvania their first year. Don decided not to move to Penn State (because they wouldn’t pay for his books) and completed his athletics and studies at Cal State. While there he lettered all four years in both football and basketball, was the captain of both teams for his junior and senior years and was the first Vulcan to reach the 1,000-point plateau. While at Cal State, he played in the 1951 Pythian Bowl, and even though they lost the game 13-6, Don scored the only touchdown for Cal. He also lettered two years in baseball. He graduated in 1952 and was inducted into the California University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. After graduation from Cal with a degree in secondary education, Don enlisted in the Air Force because he said that he wanted to “save the world for democracy.” His military career lasted over 25 years of enlisted and officer service. During those years he earned a Masters of Education from Auburn University, and received many outstanding honors including: an Air Medal with three clusters, a Meritorious Service Medal with one cluster, a Commendation Medal with two clusters, a Joint Services Commendation Medal and a Presidential Citation. Don retired from the Air Force after serving as a B-47 pilot including 10 years in Strategic Air Command, B-36 navigator/bombardier, diplomat to Sweden, professor of aerospace studies at Allegheny College, and Commander of the Air Force Junior ROTC at McDowell High School in Erie, PA for the final 13 years of his career. Whether known as Dad, The Colonel, Duke, Don or Grandpa, his legacy will live forever because of his innate ability to make you feel as if you were the most important person in the world. He had a profound impact on many, many lives. Burial, with full military honors, will be held at Arlington National Cemetery at a date still to be determined. Donations in lieu of flowers may be made in Lt. Col. Donald G. O’Hara’s name to Capital Caring Hospice, Wounded Warrior, or the US Air Force Association. The family would like to especially thank The Villa of Suffield Meadows in Warrenton, VA, for taking such good care of their father this past year.
