Supervisors OK budget early without adding firefighters

Plan denies request for teacher raises, keeps tax bills flat

Fauquier County Board of Supervisors Chair Chris Butler (Lee)

In a surprise move, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors on Thursday, March 23 approved its 2024 budget five days early, adopting a spending plan that keeps the real estate tax rate flat but also eliminates plans to add 24 new firefighter positions.

The approved budget also does not include an extra $4.1 million the Fauquier County School Board requested for teacher raises – a decision that will mean “difficult decisions ahead,” according to Cedar Run School Board Representative Donna Grove.

The supervisors were originally scheduled to adopt their fiscal year 2024 budget on Tuesday, March 28.

Supervisor R. Holder Trumbo Jr. (Scott) expressed concerns about adopting the budget early, saying the “public probably believes they still have time to give us any input they may have.”

Board Chairman Christopher T. Butler (Lee) responded by saying that he has not “heard from anyone (about the budget) since the public hearing.”

School board moves to limit staff raises

Hope Heals offers more than 400 dresses for prom giveaway

Members voice frustration with supervisors

By Jill Palermo

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Francesca Carrozza, 18, was looking for a dark-colored prom dress, while her younger sister Gianna, 16, wanted something “kind of poufy.” Both found just what they were looking for at Hope Heals, a “freestore” in Warrenton that offered free prom dresses to local girls in a special event over the weekend.

The sisters, who live in Haymarket, plan to attend the “Cherry Blossom Prom,” for Northern Virginia students who are homeschooled.

After perusing the more than 400 new and gently used dresses Saturday evening, Francesca settled on a black floor-length gown with navy-blue sparkles, while Gianna picked a light-green satin dress with just enough tulle to give the skirt a slightly fuller profile.

With the help of Hope Heals volunteers, the girls also found coordinating necklaces, earrings and bracelets to complete their looks – all for free.

Members of the Fauquier County School Board agreed Monday to reduce the number of teachers and staff who will receive 5% raises next year, expressing frustration that the Board of Supervisors rejected their request for $4.1 million to fund salary increases.

The school board decided to move ahead with 5% raises for the roughly 80% of instructional positions that meet Virginia’s minimum “standards of quality.” The state budget provides for 5% raises for “SOQ positions,” but Fauquier County schools – like most in Virginia—hire additional staff to meet students’ needs.

Getting glam for prom – for free GOWNS, from page 1 “For every event now, it’s two dresses, so this is really helpful,” said the girls’ mom, Melondee Carrozza.

“And this is such a lovely place. It’s almost like they had their own personal shoppers, helping them find things that fit and went with their dresses. … It’s simply amazing. It makes you feel special.”

The two-day event, Saturday and Sunday, March 25 and 26, provided not just free dresses and jewelry but also free makeup, shoes, purses and even coupons for free dry-cleaning, said the nonprofit’s executive director, Lindsey Henderson.

Henderson opened the nonprofit about three years ago with the help of the PATH Foundation and other donors. Hope Heals is like a Goodwill or Salvation Army thrift store with one major difference: Everything is free.

Henderson calls it a “boutique vibe” meant to make shopping a pleasant and dignified experience.

Anyone can shop at the freestore, and there are only two rules: Only 25 people are allowed in at any one time, and each person can take up to 10 items for themselves and 10 for each family member. On the last day of each month, the freestore holds “bag day” where clients are invited to fill a whole bag with items of their choice.

Some days, more than 50 people are lined up outside when Hope Heals opens. The store typically

serves 130 to 150 shoppers a month, Henderson said.

The operation is run by Henderson, store manager Jeri Lynne Petty and more than 50 volunteers.

Clothing and household items can be dropped off anytime the store is open. Volunteers spend Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays sorting heaps of donations, boxing like items together and restocking the racks.

The PATH Foundation provides $35,000 to $40,000 a year to help cover overhead costs, and several families who believe in the store’s mission make generous donations, Henderson said.

She said she used to work in youth ministries but got the idea of creating a freestore after organizing a clothing drive and seeing the difference it made. She realized that helping people cover a basic but expensive need – clothing for themselves and their families – can change lives.

“If you don’t have to put your money toward this, you can get ahead,” she said.

Volunteer Trent Kroetz, of Bealeton, was the maître de for the prom event. Dressed in a tie and a lightblue shirt and gray pants, he greeted the girls and their moms at the door, pointed out the racks of dresses and invited each girl to pick one dress, a pair of shoes and accessories.

Kroetz said he decided to volunteer after donating his own family’s clothes.

“This is what I was looking for

Tables full of donated party purses and new makeup at Hope Heals’ prom event [in a place] to bring my clothes,” he said. “I didn’t want to bring my clothes to a place where people had to buy [them].”

The idea for the prom event came from Déjà Vu Anew, a woman’s clothing consignment boutique in Warrenton, Henderson said. She worked with Déjà Vu owner Sandra Packwood on previous prom dress giveaways but collected so many at Hope Heals over the past year that she felt like they had enough to do their own event. This year, Packwood helped at Hope Heals instead of hosting a giveaway at her shop, Henderson said.

Some of the dresses were collected by Hope Heals volunteers such as Jaime House, who lives in Bristow. House said she spread the word among her neighbors in Braemar and ended up with about 50 donated prom dresses, as well as boxes of unused makeup and gently used shoes and other accessories.

“I love people like that. They see a need, and they fill it,” House said.

Another volunteer, who asked to be identified only as Emily V., said she sometimes shops at the freestore herself and wanted to work the prom event to give back.

“This place is definitely a lifeline for those of us trying to get back to work,” she said. “And if you need a word of encouragement, a word of kindness, this is the place to come.”

Sheriff’s deputies seize 27 animals from Nokesville farm Animals found in poor health, lacking food, water

By Jill Palermo

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office recently took custody of 27 animals, including 17 horses, from Bay Ridge Equestrian in Nokesville, after authorities visited the farm and found the animals in poor health and with insufficient access to food and clean water.

Bay Ridge Equestrian, located in the 7400 block of Greenwich Road on a property that straddles the Prince William and Fauquier County lines, offers riding lessons, camps, trail rides, boarding and leasing, according to its website.

The owner, Amanda Stanton, was charged on Friday, March 24 with a civil animal cruelty violation and has a hearing in Fauquier County District Court on Wednesday, March 29.

Stanton, 31, was charged with animal cruelty, a class 1 misdemeanor, in September 2018 in Lexington/ Rockbridge General District Court.

She was found guilty in 2019, according to court records, and was banned from owning or possessing horses for one year, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in Fauquier County Circuit Court.

Santon did not return several phone calls seeking comment Thurs-

Blue Ridge Equestrian Farm on Greenwich Road in Nokesville day and Friday, March 23 to 24.

The local investigation was prompted by a report of “multiple” horses at the farm in poor physical condition, including one that was lying down and unable to get up, the affidavit said.

“Multiple sheriff’s deputies,” accompanied by a veterinarian, inspected the animals on Thursday, March 16 and found several to be in poor

physical condition and without clean water and food, the affidavit said.

“There were multiple cats located in a barn … kept in small crates without adequate space and no food or water and in unsanitary conditions,” the document said.

Horses had access to only unsanitary water, and yarn was wrapped in their hay, “causing a hazard to the horses,” the affidavit said.

Also, larger horses were kept with

smaller ones, and the larger horses were preventing the smaller ones from accessing the food. The veterinarian said the horses, as well as goats and sheep, had “low body condition scores” and were unhealthy.

As a result of the animals’ conditions, the veterinarian determined the animals required “immediate intervention” and needed to be removed from the farm, which happened at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 19. The animals seized included 17 horses, one donkey, one pony, two goats, two sheep and four cats, according to court documents.

The animals were taken to the Central Virginia Horse Rescue in Fredericksburg, where they continued to be cared for as of Thursday, March 23, Long said.

The investigation continues, Long said. sufficiently cared for. On March 16, FCSO deputies and experts descended on the property to assess the animals and their living conditions.

The poor conditions found on the property established cause to seize evidence and the animals for their protection, which occurred on March 19. The animals were transported to the Central Virginia Horse Rescue in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where they are receiving professional care. The investigation is ongoing, Long said.

School board moves to limit staff raises SCHOOL BOARD, from page 1 Those non-SOQ staff and administrators would receive 3% raises under the budget scenario the school board unanimously agreed to Monday, March 27. The final vote on the 2023-24 budget is expected April 11.

Without the extra county money, the school division will fund the raises by cutting 37 instructional positions across all 20 schools, for which no staff had yet been hired, and by trimming school department budgets 5%.

Eliminating the 37 positions will save $6.5 million, while the department cuts will shave off another $1.8 million, according to Denise Sandlin, associate superintendent for business and planning.

Some class sizes will likely rise as a result, Tara Helkowski, the school division spokeswoman said in an interview after the meeting. “Class sizes have been increasing, but it hasn’t been dramatic.”

Before settling on that plan, several school board members voiced their frustration with supervisors for not funding the school board’s request and for canceling multiple planned meetings with them to discuss the school division’s needs.

School Board Chair Stephanie Litter-Reber (Lee) said the supervisors have steadily reduced the share of local tax money going to the school division over seven years. In 2016, the county spent 63 cents of

“The school division has not enjoyed any of the [recent tax bill] increases, nor have we seen a dime of the meals taxes that got added on,” Litter-Reber said.

School Board Vice Chair Susan Pauling (Center) said she is frustrated that some residents have the misconception that last year’s tax bill increase funneled more money to the school division.

“People have said, ‘I’m OK that my taxes went up last year because I know it went towards teachers,’” Pauling said. “That’s not an accurate depiction of how the budget’s gone.”

School Board member Clay Campbell (Scott) called the supervisors’ decision to cancel a meeting between the two boards late last month a sign of “disrespect.”

“It really does bother me deep down inside that grown people can’t get together and talk about the most precious thing we have, our kids and the education of the kids,” Campbell said. “The other thing that gets me is they had five more days to approve the budget. That means the citizens of this county had five more days to voice their concerns.”

The Fauquier County Board of Supervisors took an unexpected vote

Supervisors OK budget early without adding firefighters BUDGET, page 1 The board then voted unanimously for one of two budget “scenarios” that Lisa Henty, the county’s director of management and budget, presented during the Thursday, March 23 afternoon work session.

About 10 people attended the meeting, but none addressed the board. The meeting was over in fewer than 30 minutes, and the March 28 meeting was canceled.

Under both budget options presented to the supervisors Thursday, the real estate tax rate would remain at 90.3 cents per $100 of assessed value, resulting in zero impact to property owners.

County Administrator Paul McCulla originally proposed a $422.3 million budget that raised the real estate tax rate 2 cents to .923 in part to fund the additional firefighter positions.

“Based on both comments that we got from the public hearing, comments that we have received from the public and making my way around the county the past couple of weeks, no one was really able to stomach the tax increase,” Butler said.

“At this time, I just couldn’t reach back into taxpayers’ pockets, at the second half of a budget, after reassessments just went up.”

The option the supervisors approved, dubbed “scenario B,” removed the 24 full-time fire and rescue technicians from the county budget, reducing expenditures by $2.3 million, including startup operating costs for the new employees.

The spending plan does retain proposed raises

on Thursday, March 23, to approve their fiscal year 2024 budget; they had been scheduled to vote Tuesday, March 28. The supervisors made the decision after meeting for just 27 minutes and then canceled their March 28 meeting.

In doing so, the supervisors decided against County Administrator Paul McCulla’s proposed 2-cent tax rate increase that would have raised $20 million to add 24 professional firefighters – positions firefighters say are desperately needed to adequately respond to emergencies. The board intends to apply for a federal grant to help fund the positions, but it is not a sure thing.

The school division’s request for an extra $4.1 million was left out of the county’s budget from the start.

McCulla did recommend an extra $3 million for school division maintenance projects, which will remain funded, according to Superintendent David Jeck.

Fauquier Board of Supervisors Chair Chris Butler (Lee) said Tuesday that the supervisors canceled only one board-to-board meeting, set for last month, and did so because they could not support raising the real estate tax rate to provide the extra $4.1 million. Butler further said that past meetings between the

for county employees. General government staff would get 5% cost-of-living raises, while public safety employees would receive a 3% cost-of-living increase and a “step” increase for an average raise of 5.09%, according to county budget documents.

While the adopted budget eliminates the 24 full-time firefighter positions, Henty said the county is applying for a federal SAFER grant to help fulfill the need.

McCulla proposed the additional 24 positions in an effort to adequately staff the county’s fire stations so that they can man both a fire engine and an ambulance to respond to emergency calls.

During the county’s budget hearing, several firefighters spoke in support of the extra positions, relaying their frustrations over having to wait for the right kind of equipment to arrive at emergencies such as vehicle accidents.

Butler said he was reluctant to add the positions before the county’s new fire chief is hired.

“I do know that we have some issues to work out in both our department of fire, rescue and emergency management and (volunteer fire and rescue association),” Butler said. “I feel that to put on new positions both before a new (fire) chief takes the seat and a new county administrator takes the seat, that they would need time to come and evaluate what they have. If we don’t get the grant, and we have to create some new positions, we will deal with it at that time.”

In response to the budget, Kenneth Neam, president of the Fauquier County firefighters’ union, the International Association of Firefighters Local 3762, said he was grateful for the raise but reiterated the need for the additional firefighters.

“We appreciate the (board of supervisors)

boards have not been productive.

“Anytime we’ve set with them, it’s been contentious, and it ends up with more hurt feelings than things solved,” Butler told the Fauquier Times....“I didn’t want to sit in the room again when there was no way we were going to raise taxes.”

Butler said he has talked to residents over the past few weeks about McCulla’s initial proposal to raise the average annual real estate tax bill by about $92 and heard many say they couldn’t bear another tax increase given rising costs driven by inflation.

“Some people say $92 isn’t too much of an increase, but how much is too much of an increase?” he added.

Asked why the county wouldn’t want to provide teachers and school division staff with larger raises to cope with inflation, Butler said everyone has to live within their means. “Does more money make you a better teacher? I have to live within my means,” he said.

During their meeting, the school board lamented having to cut “everything we absolutely can cut,” as Litter-Reber put it, to fund staff raises considered critical to offset rising inflation and to discourage teachers from leaving for better paying jobs in neighboring Loudoun and Prince William counties.

Campbell urged residents to contact their supervisors to urge them to meet with the school board to discuss the school division’s needs.

“Say, ‘We demand that you at least meet,’” he said. “Because [when] you close your doors and turn your backs–absolutely nothing is getting accomplished.”

granting fire and rescue employees a yearly step (raise) as well as adjusting the entire pay scale with a (cost-of-living adjustment),” Neam said.

“This will help retain the great employees we have and attract new ones to fill our vacancies. ... However, they decided not to fund the 24 new positions, which will still leave a gap in service.”

Neam noted that the federal SAFER grant isn’t a sure thing and would not be available until later this year.

“The county intends to submit for a SAFER grant but won’t find out if they have been awarded those funds until September or October of this year. …

There is absolutely no guarantee that Fauquier will be awarded a SAFER grant in the coming year.”

The adopted budget provides no additional funding for Fauquier County Public Schools beyond the one-time $3.3 million for “critical maintenance needs.”

In an email after the vote, Grove said she was not surprised by the supervisors’ decision to not provide extra funds for the school board’s proposed 5% raises for teachers and staff.

“I’m not terribly surprised that our $4.1 million request was not included in their budget,” Grove said. “I honestly don’t know where that leaves us as far as staff raises. We have to do right by our staff, but any raises will mean something that has to be cut. There will be some difficult decisions ahead.”

Asked for comment, Fauquier County Public Schools Superintendent David Jeck said he was disappointed with the supervisors’ decision.

“I’m disappointed but not surprised,” Jeck said.

“We will have some difficult choices ahead.”

Fauquier fifth grader catches science textbook error

By Shannon Clark

GROW YOUR MONEY

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Think you’re smarter than a fifth grader? Think again. A few weeks ago, Liam Squires, a fifth grader at H.M. Pearson Elementary, found a scientific error in the “Exploring Science All Around Us” Level 5 textbook.

On a page displaying the rock cycle, the labels were switched on pictures of an igneous rock and a sedimentary rock.

“I reported it to Ms. Porter and said, ‘I think I found an error,” Liam said. “About the time (I) had found (the error), it was the first time going through the rock cycle. So, it was kind of fresh knowing that information.”

When Liam first caught the mistake, Serena Porter, a fifth-grade teacher at H.M Pearson Elementary, initially second-guessed her teaching and thought she had taught the information incorrectly to her students. But after taking another look at the textbook, she realized Liam was right.

“My first instinct was, ‘Okay, shoot. I must have been doing this wrong,’” Porter said. “Maybe I taught it wrong, because surely, it’s not wrong in the textbook. I go back to the page that the rock cycle is on, and I’m like ... ‘Dude, I think you might have found an error.’”

Liam Squires Porter reached out to Linda Correll, the school’s instructional supervisor for science, health and physical education, to confirm the error.

Correll contacted the publisher of the book, Five Ponds Press, to notify them of the mistake.

The Ponds’ press team sent a handwritten letter to Liam thanking him for catching the error and for “paying such close attention in class.” The letter was as much of a surprise to Porter as it was to Liam.

David Schoumacher, newsman who traded suits for boots, dies at 88 Emmy-award-winning journalist found second career on the farm in Hume

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Emmy-award winning television journalist and dedicated conservationist-cattle farmer David Edward Schoumacher of Hume died after a long illness Friday, March 24. He was 88. According to his daughter, Linda Rozett, Schoumacher was intimately involved in management of Thistle Hill Farm in western Fauquier until shortly before his death.

Before he was a cattle farmer, Schoumacher was a journalist, covering a broad range of topics including presidential campaigns, Congress, the NASA space program, the Civil Rights movement, the Vietnam War and Watergate.

His first assignment for the CBS Evening News under anchor Walter Cronkite was the 1963 assassination of President John Kennedy.

Schoumacher was born October 13, 1934, in Chicago, and earned a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern.

He was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserve, flying tankers and tactical bombers until his honorable discharge in 1969. He was an avid sailor and kept a boat on the Chesapeake.

Schoumacher’s journalism career began on local radio during college,

David Schoumacher during his days as a journalist moving into local broadcast journalism in the Midwest and transferring to Virginia in 1963 when he became a Washington correspondent for CBS. He later worked for ABC News, ending his journalism career as evening news anchor for WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C. In retirement, David owned and managed several radio stations, but said in a 2015 interview with the Fauquier Times-Democrat that his biggest passion was the herd of Red Devon cattle he procured on his farm in Hume, Thistle Hill Farm.

With his late wife, Elizabeth “Wooz” Matthews, Schoumacher developed a prize-winning herd of what he once called “the perfect cattle breed for the Piedmont,” the centuries-old English Red Devon.

Schoumacher told the Times-Democrat the Red Devon was the ideal dual-purpose breed - beef and dairy, adding: “They were custom-made for this area.”

Schoumacher was chairman of the North American Devon Association.

It was important to him for a range of reasons, Rozett said.

“The Thistle Hill operation might have been the greatest love of his life,” Rozett said. “He was all about the breeding and the bloodlines, but, just as much, he was completely invested in protecting the soil and the water and everything about the farm, his farm but other farms as well.”

Her father loved being “the small farmer,” Rozett added, as much as he appreciated and supported local journalism, small newspapers and radio stations. “Anything that was able to share news that’s important for a community.”

He’s survived by four children, 12 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Schoumacher is also survived by late wife Wooz Matthews’ two children: Church Matthews and Carolyn Matthews.

Visitation will be held at Murphy’s Funeral Home in Arlington on Sunday, April 9. A funeral service will be held later at Leeds Episcopal Church in Hume.

“I expected it to be more of a good job, a pat on the shoulder,” Liam said. “I did not expect it to be this.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ongoing demonstrations in Warrenton are ‘democracy in action’ I write in response to Trevor Rowland’s letter in the March 22 issue, “Wondering when the Saturday demonstrations will end.”

Mr. Rowland, you have mischaracterized the Saturday demonstrations as an “antagonistic shouting match” on both sides. My wife and I have participated in dozens of the (Black Lives Matter) vigils over the past three years, and there has never been one single word shouted from our side at the group across the street.

Maintaining that discipline, that decorum, has always been a key part of our action. Indeed, in fairness, I’ve never heard shouting from most of the participants on the other side, the exceptions being two individuals who apparently enjoy, ah, giving their vocal cords a good workout.

As for the incident at Red Truck Bakery, Max Hall and Greg Schumacher have given, in the same issue [“Finding common ground over cranberry muffins and coffee”], the definitive statement, with which I concur.

May I speculate whether you would be as opposed to the “sloganeering” and “political grandstanding” you decry if it had been someone near and dear to you who had been murdered by an officer of the law in the full light of day?

May I suggest that you see your walk by the demonstrators not as a nuisance but as a valuable learning experience for your growing child?

It’s called democracy in action.

Celebrate it.

HARVEY USSERY Hume

Tempered Steel Tempered Steel is the reason that we have lived in Prince William County’s rural crescent for the last 26 years. Twenty-seven years ago, Steel carried me from Fauquier County to the top of Bull Run Mountain, bringing me to witness the rural beauty of Prince William County. From that moment, our family knew we had to find a home in that valley that we saw and leave behind the hubbub of Arlington.

It never bothered me that Steel was a free giveaway, determined by the hunt crowd to be not tall enough and not the right breed for their interests. He was strong, beautiful, loyal, patient and talented. He was magnificent; he was mine; and I loved him.

Steel succumbed to the old age of 35 on December 14, 2022. He died the morning after our Prince William Board of County Supervisors adopted the new comprehensive plan – Pathway to 2040. His passing is a tangible symbol of everything that is wrong with their current drive to urbanize and industrialize every corner of our county, particularly their disappearing of “rural” from all planning.

“Tempered steel” is now my mantra. The blood, sweat, tears and time spent fighting for what we love has tempered me forever. I refuse to accept what “they” are trying to do

to my home, and to the home I want for my daughter, my grandchildren and their grandchildren. The quality of life we all risk losing matters too much to just watch it being incrementally chipped away by their flawed decisions.

A community of like-minded county citizens from all districts continues to expand and come together, standing up and speaking out against the wrongs being thrust upon all of us by those who should know better. We are defending our families and our neighborhoods against the predators attacking from all directions -- worst of all from our own elected leaders.

We are not going away. There will be a reckoning at the June 20 Democratic primary for the chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. And then again in the November elections, when all those supervisors in majority positions will have to deal with citizens determined to choose better representation for themselves and their families and to bring integrity, honesty and sustainable planning back to the dais.

We will make certain that Tempered Steel’s legacy and message endures.

Governor’s lack of transparency on restoring voting rights is troubling It is very troubling to learn through the media the absence of transparency in Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s change to Virginia policy for restoring civil rights to people who have served time for a felony conviction. It is more troubling to learn that the revised process lacks specific criteria and has resulted in greatly reduced numbers of persons having their rights restored. This disenfranchises those who have paid for their crime.

On March 22, Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth Kay Coles James responded to state Sen. Lionel Spruill Sr., chairman of the Virginia Senate Privileges and Elections Committee, who asked on behalf of a constituent whether Youngkin changed state policy for restoring rights to felons who had served their time. The response: Former inmates “are informed upon release the recommendation of applying and given a paper application.”

The governor did not provide even minimal transparency. It

should not take a letter from an elected representative to bring to light a major change in an important government policy that affects thousands of Virginians.

The League of Women Voters supports the automatic restoration of civil rights of felons, regardless of the nature of their crimes, upon their release from incarceration or upon completion of probation or parole.

The process should be easy to understand, accessible, transparent and fair with information about the criteria made available to all. The process should be identical for all felons, regardless of the nature of their crime.

The governor has said that he believes in second chances. Perhaps he could give us all the first chance to know how the surreptitiously changed process works.

JANET M. GORN Montclair president, League of Women Voters of Prince William-Fauquier Area

The abortion issue is killing the Republican Party The Guttmacher Institute reports nearly 1 million abortions occurred among the 4.5 million American pregnancies in 2020. A Pew Research survey shortly after the Supreme Court’s abortion decision showed U.S. adults believe abortion should be legal, in all or most cases, by a very wide margin (62% vs 36%). It’s not politically viable for any major political party to hold a “100% pro-life” position in the U.S. The old idea, “abortion should be safe, legal and rare,” was commonsense middle ground for most Americans years ago, but not anymore. Today young women (and quite a few men), are steadfastly opposed to most abortion restrictions. They consider this the single most important issue of every election.

The 2022 Supreme Court reversal of Roe v. Wade was a correction to court’s prior attempt to make law from the bench. It took nearly 50 years to make this correction, but it had to be done. Legislatures

alone have authority to make laws; not even the Supreme Court can make new law.

We should follow Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s lead. He proposed all women should be allowed to make their own decisions in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy without any laws impeding that decision.

Virginians have accepted this commonsense position. Youngkin is more popular today, by a greater margin, than his election-victory margin. Virginians have accepted his commonsense approach.

Republicans generally want the freedom to manage our own lives.

Choices are difficult, but choices will be made one way or the other.

Republicans must not stigmatize safe abortion in early pregnancy because these issues will always be with us, whether we like it or not.

It is time for Republicans to choose.

RYAN TO THE RESCUE

Second baseman’s bases-loaded triple leads Eagles over Handley, 11-9

By Matthew Proctor

Freshman catcher Christopher Laws and the Eagles edged Handley 11-9 last Thursday for their first win of the young season. Liberty hosts Kettle Run Thursday.

Liberty High second baseman Cole Ryan’s game-winning hit looked in doubt for a tantalizing second last Thursday.

With the bases loaded in the fourth inning, the Eagle junior hammered a 3-2 pitch toward Handley right fielder Jacob Swartz. With the crowd and both dugouts frozen in suspense, Swartz took a few steps in before frantically retreating.

Ryan’s shot flew over Swartz’s head and rolled to the outfield wall as all three runners scored.

Ryan hustled to third for an RBI triple, putting the Eagles ahead 11-8. They held on to win 11-9 in Bealeton.

“I took my outside pitch and hit it over to the right field,” Ryan said. “I was super excited. I wanted to steal home at that point, but it would have been a dumb idea.”

It was an important first win for the Eagles (12), who dropped their first two games of the season against Sherando and Millbrook. Their stretch of Northwestern District matchups continues this week with James Wood on Tuesday and a home clash with Kettle Run on Thursday.

Coach Jason Mecke was relieved his Eagles pulled it out after losing a 6-0 lead.

“It was a dog fight. We hit the ball really well.

The defense needs a little work, but we swung the bats. That was the big thing,” Mecke said.

FAUQUIER GIRLS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Barkovic-led Falcon girls soaring early with 3-1 record

Choby, Polster, Crider, Read, Pura are other FHS standouts

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Entering his 12th season coaching girls lacrosse in Fauquier County, Ken McInnis knows a talented roster when he sees one.

And McInnis is pleased so far. His Fauquier High girls won four games over the past two seasons. Four games into this season, they’ve nearly matched that win total.

At 3-1, the Falcons won their first two games 12-9 and 17-0 over Heritage and Osbourn Park respectively. After falling to Tuscarora 17-5, they defeated Liberty 14-9 in their first Northwestern District matchup of the season.

“So far, we’ve had nine girls attacking the goal. So, I really like the way that they’re spreading it out. And we’ve already got more assists here than, I would say, halfway through the season last year,” McInnis said.

This season marks McInnis’ ninth as the head coach at Fauquier. He previously coached at Liberty for three seasons when his daughter Heather played, then took a year off before taking the job at Fauquier.

“I’ve coached something forever, but girls lacrosse has been really special because you

see these girls and then you see what they can actually do out on the field, and it’s a pleasure to watch,” McInnis said.

Over the years, McInnis has welcomed lacrosse players of all experience levels into his program. Spending just as much time teaching the fundamentals of lacrosse as he does strategy, his tenure has been challenging, but rewarding.

“We don’t get a lot of girls that have experience, like in some of the Loudoun and Fairfax County schools around us.

So, at the same time you’re trying to put a defense in and things like that, you’re also trying to teach girls how to catch and throw,” he said.

“It can be hectic, but it’s always been fun.”

The Falcons’ 16-player squad is headlined by the two captains, midfielders Haylee Choby and Lana Barkovic. After taking time away from lacrosse during the pandemic, Choby returns for her senior season, while Barkovic looks to have a phenomenal junior year to follow up her region first team honors last season.

LIBERTY BOYS SOCCER PREVIEW

EXPLOSIVE EAGLES SHOOTING FOR DISTRICT TITLE Kraiwan, Garner, Holland, Gallagher key senior-heavy attack

The second starting forward is senior Nash Holland, who’ll play at Randolph-Macon College. Holland also has three goals. “He’s also very dangerous, very technical,” Cox said.

Liberty’s third forward getting significant minutes is senior Anthony Matthys, described as “never-give up player,” by Cox and another Eagle who could play in college.

The coach said the Eagles have been scoring in a variety of ways.

They’ve had a healthy amount of possessions, which has created chances. They’ve also scored off set pieces and corner kicks.

And you thought the Anaconda roller coaster at Kings Dominion was a thrilling ride.

The high-octane Liberty High boys soccer team is off to a hair-raising start, scoring 10 goals in their three district games. The Eagles (1-1-2) are undefeated in district play at 1-0-2 after high-scoring ties with Millbrook 4-4 and Handley 3-3 and a 3-1 win over Sherando.

“Offensively we’re very good.

We’re good in the middle of the field and good everywhere,” says fifthyear coach Chase Cox. Liberty starts nine seniors after a 7-7-3 season and envisions a run at the Northwestern District championship. The program is strong with 67 kids coming out. The next step is to make regionals.

“We’re a family bonding together to win the district title together.

They constantly say if something goes wrong, we all stay focused. Nothing is going to change our goals,” said Cox.

He’s a great leader. The guys look up to him because he’s been here a while,” said Cox.

Kraiwan is a versatile forward who has three goals already. “He’s a mix of everything,” said Cox. “He’s just a really good player. He’s technical, he knows how to make runs and he’s strong and physical.”

Liberty’s midfield is quarterbacked by senior Shawn Garner.

The playmaking midfielder already has several goals. “He’s another senior we expect a lot of. He sees the field and feeds his upfront guys,” said Cox. Defensive midfielder Brady Gallagher, another senior starter, is also vital as “a big, physical defender we play in the midfield,” said Cox. Other midfield starters include junior Kevin Meneses and senior Evan Cox. Meneses is a first-year varsity player operating on the wing and is a hard worker. Cox is a returning varsity player who also plays forward and has a goal this year.

KETTLE RUN GIRLS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Cougars ‘have the same drive, the same fire’

A year after making states, Kettle Run hopes for more glory

By Matthew Proctor

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fresh off an appearance in the Class 4 state playoffs last season, the Kettle Run girls lacrosse team is planning another strong season.

Second year coach Addison Foudray welcomes back much of last year’s team and the early results are promising. The Cougars overpowered Brentsville 14-2 in their season opener, then edged Loudoun Valley 13-12 and lost to Lightridge 11-6.

Foudray is building a program that she hopes will become a powerhouse. Comparing last year’s successful squad to this year’s, she says, “I think they have the same drive, same fire and the younger girls coming in (have it). They’re determined and they want to see the same success.”

Three seniors departed, and only three remain, leaving the team decidedly younger.

Morgan Mahoney, one of Kettle Run’s three seniors, is a key attacker and important vocal leader, while sophomore Gracie Chumley has looked phenomenal in building on her successful freshman season.

“So far Morgan’s just been hitting the field hard. I’ve seen a lot of intensity from her, and she’s just been doing amazing. So, I expect this season is going to be a great one for her,” Foudray said. “Gracie’s been a force to be reckoned with and I think the combo of her and Morgan is going to be really strong for us.”

At midfield, twin sisters Charlotte and Katherine Bloom are Kettle Run’s other two seniors and return to form a formidable trio with junior

Jordan White. The three have experience together and look poised to have another promising year.

On the back line, the starting defensive unit is aggressive and forces many turnovers. Juniors Rinna Hoskins and Kaylee Neam return to the lineup and have impressed so far.

There’s also Amelia Jakum, a sophomore who’s starting to come into her own as a defender.

Abigail Beattie is back protecting the net, and she looks like an impenetrable brick wall.

“She is just a beast in the goal. She’s a junior, and all three years that I’ve worked with her, she has just been incredible. Without a doubt, she’s the backbone for us,” Foudray said.

Kettle Run finished 8-6 last year, advancing to the regional finals where they fell to Meridian. A week later they lost to Dominion in the state quarterfinals, ending Foudray’s promising first season at the helm.

In year two, the Cougars are just as talented.

“I think that as long as we can keep executing the way that I know that they’re capable of, it’s going to be a good, competitive, strong season for us,” she said.

While the Cougars can play with speed, Foudray stresses the value of a patient style of lacrosse.

“I think we really strive when we just take a breath, get our momentum going, and work together well as a team,” Foudray said. “It’s just really being smart on the field, making smart passes, being smart defensively, and then taking our time on our offensive end.”

Beier shines in relief BASEBALL, from page 12 Starting pitcher Braden Perry made quick work of the Judges in the top of the first with a pair of strikeouts, then launched a double to deep center field to drive in two runs. The Eagles jumped in front 6-0 as Handley’s Griffin Hott allowed five walks and threw two run-scoring wild pitches.

“That’s huge, really huge for us.

We’re a young team, so getting out to an early jump, a big jump, is always going to help,” Mecke said.

The Judges retaliated in the second, loading the bases with one out, leading to a two-run double by Dylon Moxley to left-center. Soon shortstop Kaplan Ambrose scored on an RBI single.

Liberty kept scoring as well. In the bottom of the second, senior Nathan Mecke tripled to right to lead off and scored on a wild pitch. Left fielder Aiden Beier walked, stole second and scored on another errant pitch to the backstop as the Eagles took an 8-4 lead.

Handley closed to 8-7 in the third as two walks and two singles led to three runners crossing home plate. In the fourth the Judges tied the game at 8-8 as Ambrose doubled to lead off the inning, then came around to score as Hott legged out a grounder to second.

After Liberty loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth, Handley’s coach Pat Wingfield made a pitching change, calling Ambrose to the mound. The first batter he faced was Ryan, who scored all three runners with his go-ahead triple.

“We’ve been working on opposite field, dead middle. And that’s what I told him when he went up there, think that way. And he did. He took it over his head, and everything worked out,” said Mecke.

Ryan said he wanted to go to right, “Because the right fielder was playing so far over and there’s a big gap,” Ryan said. “I drove the ball and kept my head in and took it that way.”

FHS girls open 3-1 LACROSSE, from page 12 Joining the two is freshman Autumn Frear, who’s never played lacrosse before but is a natural.

“She is going to be very special. You can tell an athlete when they walk on the field. And Autumn is one of these girls that plays everything, and she’ll be special to watch,” McInnis said.

At attack, Ryleigh Polster and Lillian Pura loom as key goal scorers. Polster, a junior, is a varsity returnee, while Pura is one of the most experienced players on the team despite only being a freshman.

On the back end, McInnis is returning his entire defensive unit from last season. Senior Ella Crider is entering her fourth season, while sophomores Maggie Arnold and Addie Gorg return after starting as freshmen.

“They are little balls of dynamite out on the field with good coverage,” McInnis said.

Sophomore Charleigh Read is

Liberty junior second baseman Cole Ryan was a hero in last Thursday’s 11-9 win over Handley.

With Liberty back ahead, Mecke made a pitching change, sending Aiden Beier to the mound. The sophomore allowed a run in the top of the fifth to make the score 11-9, before finishing the inning with a huge strikeout with a runner in scoring position.

Similarly in the sixth, Handley had runners on first and second with one out, but Beier struck out two more to get out of the jam.

“He was throwing hard fastballs low in the zone. And because he was hitting his spots, that makes it tough on any guy,” Handley’s Wingfield said. “Kudos to him. He came in and kind of shut us down there. We had some momentum going and he kind of shut it down.”

Now settled in, Beier quickly disposed of the Judges in the seventh to end the game, giving Liberty the 11-9 win.

Mecke singled out Beier for his excellence. “That was huge coming in.

Sophomore coming in in a big situation. Huge. Shows what we got coming. The next two years from now he could be an ace starting pitcher.” also returning as the starting goalie.

Read took over halfway through last season despite never playing the position before, so this marks her first full season in the net.

In 2021, Fauquier was 0-9, then improved to 4-9 last season, falling to Kettle Run in the first round of the Region 4B playoffs. Their 3-1 start to this season is a promising sight to see.

“I don’t need a 20-point game.

We just need more points than the other team. But as long as they’re working the ball around and people are doing their jobs, that’s excellent,” McInnis said.

Led by their versatility and balanced scoring attack, the Falcons look poised to have their best season in years.

“The selfishness is way down this year. The girls are really playing together, which is what every coach wants to see,” McInnis said. “When you spread it out, you can’t double anybody. So, that’s what I’m liking with this team.

They will share the wealth.”

Eagles’ goal is district title SOCCER, from page 13 Robert Chinchilla, a junior and first year varsity player, will get a lot of playing time. Seniors Tyler Crews and Wilmer Ruiz are also in line for regular duty.

Defense and goalie

Despite allowing 11 goals in four games, Cox remains high on his defense, calling them a strong unit.

“We’re trying different strategies back there. We’ve got it figured out,” he said. “They’re very good. We’ve given up some goals off PKs, and for other reasons.”

The starting defenders include four seniors in Elia Powers, Collin Arey, Braedon Mullins and Christian Torres. Powers and Torres are the central defenders. Juniors Mauricio Romero and Arie Carroll will also play.

The Eagles’ new goalie is freshman Kenny Benitez, who was pulled up from JV in the preseason. “He’s young but he has soccer experience. He’s actually been very impressive,” said Cox. Benitez has good communication skills, and his position in the box is very sound. “For a freshman to step up is big for us,” Cox said.

Can Eagles win the district?

Liberty’s veteran team is targeting a run at the district title, something not seen in a long time.

“This year’s team is hungry. They want to win. They’re all committed and are putting in the work. They want big things this year. This team

is excited for sure,” Cox said.

The early results are promising.

After a season-opening 3-0 loss to Dominion, the Eagles handled Sherando 3-1 in the district opener on March 16.

“We came in with the attitude that we’re going to win,” Cox said about the Sherando game. “We controlled possession the whole game.

We knew we were favored to win the game, but you’ve still got to win the game. It was a pretty good win to start the season off.”

Next came a wild 4-4 tie with Millbrook on March 21. Liberty scored first, but Millbrook tied it on a penalty kick near the end of regulation. The Eagles scored first in OT, but the Pioneers got the equalizer with 20 seconds left. “We’re OK about it. We came out of it healthy.

That’s how the sport goes sometimes,” said Cox. On March 23, the Eagles tied Handley 3-3. “The talk out of Winchester is that they’re the team to beat. They’re a strong team. We were down but we came back,” said Cox. This week the district wars continue with games against James Wood Tuesday and Kettle Run Thursday.

A win over Kettle Run would be sweet for Liberty, which lost to Kettle Run 1-0 and tied the Cougars 1-1 last year during the regular season.

Kettle Run ended Liberty’s season in the district tournament quarterfinals in double overtime.

HORSE BRIEFS

Trainer Davies says To Be Or Not To Be might be ‘the real deal’ after impressive score in Rokeby feature Saturday

By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the Fauquier Times

Rokeby Bowl winner To Be Or Not To Be didn’t exactly shine on the flat track – a single victory from 11 starts as a 2- and 3-year-old. But since he’s turned to jumping, he’s undefeated.

Irv Crawford’s now 7-year-old, trained by Joe Davies and ridden

by Teddy Davies, impressed at Saturday’s Piedmont Foxhounds Point-to-Point near Upperville, jumping powerfully and finishing strong to take the 3 1/2-mile headliner. ss “This horse is the real deal,” Joe models odels Davies said. “He’s unbeaten over fences, and I don’t even think we know just how good he is yet.” s Jockey Teddy Davies kept To models Be Or Not To Be just off the pace set by Shootist, Colin Smith up.

To Be Or Not To Be, in yellow and red at right, edges past rival Shootist at the wire to win the Piedmont point-to-point headliner Saturday.

They jumped upsides over the last fence, and the pair matched strides up the long Salem Farm homestretch.

To Be Or Not To Be, a Maryland-bred son of Limehouse, won by short head.

It was enough for the trainer.

“I told the Crawfords they’re due a dud after (owning threetime Maryland Hunt Cup winner) Senior Senator,” Davies said.

“When Senior Senator died (of colic in 2020), I told them that was probably their ‘one great horse.’

“I picked up To Be Or Not To Be for them for a ham sandwich,” in other words, not a big price,” Davies added. “He wasn’t much on the flat, but he’s won every one of his jump starts.” The rangy chestnut won his only hurdle start in September 2020, his first timber start last fall and, now, the Rokeby Bowl.

Teddy Davies also partnered Adlestrop Hill’s Paddy’s Crown to win the apprentice timber for trainer Emily Hannum. Complete results are at centralentryoffice.com.

OBITUARIES 19

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | March 29, 2023

OBITUARIES Suzanne (Sue) B. Palmer

Mary Ann Jennings

Suzanne (Sue) B. Palmer, 87, of Woodbridge VA, passed away on 1 November 2022.

Suzanne was born in Monroe, GA on 20 October, 1935. She attended high school and University of North Georgia before working as a federal librarian in Washington DC. Suzanne met her future husband Bill Palmer in 1957 on a blind date at an Academy Hop. They married June 3, 1959 at the Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis Md. Suzanne entered the military workforce as a ‘domestic engineer’ (e.g., homemaker). As she used to say, managing the house, the children, the moves and the numerous expected duties of an officer’s wife was more than full time and required a scientific approach, especially when Bill was deployed. After raising a son and daughter to high school age, Suzanne taught preschool and kindergarten and managed an Antiques store. She joined Senator Ted Stevens’ (AK) staff in 1985. She served as his primary constituent representative for over 20 years hosting VIPs, dignitaries, and most importantly, Alaskans visiting the national capital. Known for her Southern hospitality, rapid and extensive walking tours, and a gracious charm and smile for everyone, Suzanne was a ‘behind the scenes’ force in the halls of the capital office buildings. After retiring, she filled traveled widely with her husband Bill and spent time with family, friends, and her collies.

Suzanne is survived by her daughter and son-in-law Suzanne and Rick Lamarre, her son and daughter-in-law Bill and Lisa Palmer, her grandchildren Joshua Palmer, Nathan Palmer, and Richard Lamarre, and great grandson Jason Lamarre.

Funeral services will be at Arlington National Cemetery on 6 April 2023 at 10am EST. The family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to family, friends, and neighbors for their warm wishes and support.

Mary Ann Jennings was called home to heaven on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. She passed away peacefully with her loved ones holding her hands.

Born on April 5, 1941, the youngest of 7 children of parents Jessie L. and Venters Smith.

She grew up in Washington, NC where she was recruited to work for the government after High School. She moved to Alexandria, VA in 1959 where she worked for the government and met the man who was to be the love of her life.

Herman and Mary Ann were married on December 22, 1962 and they were married for 57 years until Herman’s passing.

Her life’s true calling was realized in 1964 when her first daughter, Mary, was born. Herman’s job required them to move to Wauconda IL where she lived with her family and devoted herself full-time to being a wonderful mother and wife for over 20 years.

She made her way back to Virginia in 1990 when she and Herman settled in Warrenton and embarked on the “second act” of her career with the government. Herman and Mary Ann enjoyed over 20 years together in Warrenton, walking in the woods behind their home and enjoying time with the grandchildren and family dogs she loved so much. She cherished those years immensely.

She is welcomed into Heaven by her parents, all 6 of her siblings, her oldest daughter, Mary Leigh, and her one true love, Herman.

She is mourned greatly here on Earth by her daughters, Denise Jennings, Jessica Griffin and son-in-law John, her grandchildren, Meghan and Stephen, her friends at the Warrenton Church of Christ, her neighbors in Auburn Crossing and countless others who were fortunate enough to know her and share her smile, her incredible sense of humor and her knack for kindness.

Friends and family were welcomed for visitation at Moser Funeral Home, Tuesday, March 28 from 4 – 6 pm and/or at a graveside service at Brightview Cemetery, Wednesday, March 29 at 11:00am where she will be laid to rest next to Herman and Mary. All are welcome to stop by and celebrate the wonderful life of a beautiful lady!

Douglas Kenneth Gorham Douglas Kenneth Gorham, 71, of Warrenton, Virginia, passed away on March 20, 2023 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was born May 28, 1951 in Arlington, Virginia, the son of Shirley A. Gorham and the late Clarence K. Gorham.

In addition to his mother, Doug is survived by his wife of 50 years, Martha (“Mossy”) Gorham, his son David Gorham (Stephanie), his stepdaughter Shelly Woolsey (Jeff), his sisters Sharon Berkey (Richard), Susan Avrett and four grandchildren, Natalie & Taylor Gorham and Jason & Kamryn Woolsey.

Doug proudly served in the United States Marine Corps and was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia as a Lance Corporal (Headquarters CINCLANT Fleet). He received the National Defense Service Medal and was a member of Rifle Squad and Color Guard Platoon.

He had an amazing 24-year career in the United States Secret Service, Technical Security Division, where he served under Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Sr. and Clinton. His journey with the Secret Service was filled with many travel adventures all over the U.S. as well as Africa, Russia, Indonesia, Brussels, Germany (East Berlin) and Japan.

After retirement from the Secret Service, Doug continued to pursue his security alarm business (Fairfax Alarm) for the next 26 years. He formed a lasting bond with his clients and was extremely proud of his company.

Doug was a kind, caring and hard-working man with exemplary values, steadfast character, high moral standards and integrity.

He loved his parents, wife, children, grandchildren and sisters with his whole heart, and his friendship was filled with unwavering loyalty.

Fishing, hunting with his ATV and camping were among his favorite pastimes and being a very proud Granddaddy and PawPaw brought him immeasurable joy. Doug loved to cook and experiment with new recipes from the Food Channel. His seafood chowder, deer stew and rib-eye steaks were fan favorites. He loved all types of gadgets, ball caps and electronics. Doug never left the house without his cell phone and a pen in his Cabela’s shirt pocket, his reading glasses hooked on the front of that shirt, his infamous earpiece imbedded in his left ear and always a ball cap. These traits earned him the family nickname of “Dorky Uncle Doug”.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 1, 2023 from 11:00 am – 12 Noon with a Memorial Service immediately following at Moser’s Funeral Home, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, VA 20186.

Please join Doug’s family at a Celebration of Life after the Service at The American Legion Post 72, 345 Legion Drive, Warrenton, VA 20186.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Post 72.

Different cultures and religions have their own mourning traditions. In the Jewish faith, shiva is the week-long mourning period observed by first-degree family members. Flowers are not part of the Jewish mourning tradition. They will not be found at funerals or burials and should not be sent to the shiva family’s home. Bright colors, adornments, and beautification of oneself or surroundings are considered distractions from the mourning process.

Some Jewish communities also believe that the life cycle of flowers should not be interrupted for a funeral. Instead of sending flowers during shiva, consider making a shiva call in which you visit mourning family members, sending helpful condolence items like kosher food, or making a monetary contribution to the family.

The Jewish people hold the philosophy that one should embrace life while accepting the inevitability of death. The emphasis of Judaism concerns how one’s life should be lived and it does not specifically define an afterlife. However, it is implied that leading a praiseworthy life will prepare one for what comes after life. To learn more about the services MOSER FUNERAL HOME offers, please call (540) 3473431.
