Va. Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel announces she will not seek another term 4-term state senator endorses newcomer Juan Pablo Segura for 31st District seat By Robin Earl

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Virginia Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel (R-27th) announced that after 16 years in the Senate of Virginia, she will not run for reelection in November. She is endorsing Juan Pablo Segura, who is seeking the Republican nomination in the newly drawn 31st District. The general election in Virginia is Nov. 7. Before the decennial redistricting process, the 27th District encompassed all of Clarke, Frederick and Fauquier counties; all of Winchester; and parts of Culpeper, Loudoun and Stafford. Since the last state senate election, lines have been redrawn. Fauquier is now split between the 31st and the 28th districts. Vogel lives in the Upperville area and first was elected to the state senate in 2007. She was also the Republican Party’s nominee for lieutenant governor

Warrenton police officer will never forget coaxing distraught woman off bridge By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Warrenton Police Officer Maribeth Howser was on duty on a super-hot summer day in 2022 when she heard a call from dispatchers about a “sad woman next to bridge.” Howser wasn’t sure what to make of it. What bridge? A sad woman?

At first, she felt no real sense of urgency. Two officers already were working the call, but Howser decided to go too, always ready to learn more. She had been on the force for about a year. The officer, who was then 24 years old, soon became instrumental in saving the life of the woman, who was beyond sad. Her name is being withheld

for her privacy. The woman had been thinking of jumping off a bridge in Warrenton to end her life. For her life-saving help, Howser recently received the VFW Law Enforcement Public Servant Citation, an award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 9835.

Warrenton planning commissioners seek training for all members By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Warrenton Planning Commission, which has two brand new members, is seeking training after the town’s interim manager said in November that the commission overstepped its authority when it postponed a decision on the controversial Amazon data center. “I think there is a strong argument to be made that we could all use some additional training in terms of our duties and responsibilities,” commission Chairman James Lawrence said at the planning commission’s regular meeting Jan. 17. Lawrence told other commission members, including new members Terry Lasher and Darine Barbour, that Lawrence had contacted Michael Chandler, a planning consultant based in Richmond, Virginia, to possibly conduct training. Chandler is co-founder of the Virginia Institute for Planning Commissioners. He no longer conducts the Virginia Certified Planning Commissioners’ Program for the state of Virginia, but he did for many years. “So, he’s kind of The Godfather of planning in the state of Virginia,” Lawrence said. “He’s no

James Lawrence will be the Warrenton Planning Commission’s new chair.

longer running the course, but he is able to tailor a course … specifically to the town of Warrenton.” Other commissioners were supportive of professional development, but the two new members wondered whether they could take the training a step further, potentially getting help not just from Chandler, but also gaining credentials through a program such as the VA Certified Planning Commissioner Program. The program is designed to provide citizen planners with the legal and technical background they need to do their jobs. The program covers the “what”

Draft Planning Commission goals for 2023

• Provide the Warrenton Town Council with recommendations on land-use applications, policies and plans that will result in balanced, equitable, orderly growth. • Ensure recommendations are well informed and legally defensible. • Be transparent and open to the public on all matters related to land use. • Base recommendations on the adopted policy and plans that set forth the vision for the town. Develop a best practice process for the adoption of the Capital Improvement Program. • Be engaged and informed on the Comprehensive Plan goals in reviewing current land- use applications. • Continue to examine and attend training seminars, as permitted under current health advisory. • Collaborate with adjacent planning commissions, as permitted under current health advisory. • Perform site visits, as appropriate, for land-use applications. • Be engaged and informed on the activities of the town’s Architectural Review Board. • Learn from the success stories of other jurisdictions that are applicable to Warrenton.

and “why” of planning and reviews principles of community planning, according to a description of the program from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center for Urban and Regional Analysis. “There might be some certification that is associated with that, which is a good benefit,” Lasher said. Barbour said that attending professional development courses also would allow her to collaborate with planning commissioners from other places. She said she looked forward to a chance to “find out maybe what issues they’re dealing with, what’s coming down the pipeline for them.” Commissioners asked town staff to reach out to Chandler and to investigate getting certification for the new members — Barbour and Lasher. No motion or vote was required at the meeting. The discussion about training at January’s meeting came after Interim Town Manager Chris Martino in November issued a statement that said the commission acted “outside its authority” by postponing a vote on the Amazon data center and violating guidance that gives commissioners only 100 days to act. The clock starts ticking when commissioners first tackle a request at a meeting. The only exception is if the applicant asks for a delay, according to Martino. The planning commission ended up voting Dec. 20, 2022, to recommend that the town council deny Amazon’s application for a data center on Blackwell Road. The vote was 3-1 with one abstention.

2 convicted in ‘Trip’ Bopp’s murder will serve decades in prison Two more co-conspirators to be sentenced Feb. 9 By Coy Ferrell

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

A judge confirmed decades-long prison sentences Thursday, Jan. 26, for two of the four co-conspirators convicted in the murder of “Trip” Bopp last year near Remington. A jury convicted the Manassas-area residents José Pereira and Darren Davis, of first-degree murder and other felonies after a two-week trial in September. Circuit Judge James Plowman sentenced Davis, 38, to 82 years in prison, the sentence recommended by the jury at the trial. Pereira, 33, will spend 52 years in prison, also the recommended sentence. Plowman added a nine-year suspended prison sentence to each man’s sentence, the maximum allowed by law. Two additional co-conspirators, Martin Martinez, 31, and Jury Guerra, 30, opted to plead guilty to the murder instead of facing a jury. They will be sentenced by Plowman Feb. 9 and face a maximum sentence of life in prison. The Jan. 26 sentencing hearing, held in the same Leesburg courtroom where the trial took place, was necessary because of a quirk in Virginia law that allows juries to impose maximum sentences but requires a judge to decide whether to confirm that sentence or reduce the punishment. Compared to the trial, which fea-

tured hours of daily testimony over two weeks, the Jan. 26 hearing was relatively brief. The only testimony from the witness stand came from Sue Bopp, the mother of the 24-year-old farmer who was gunned down during a botched burglary. “By taking our son’s life, the defendants have sentenced our family and Trip’s friends to a life sentence,” she tearfully told the court. “I do not forgive them for taking our son’s life,” she added, “but I regret they were not given a strong moral compass to guide their decisions,” a reference to the defendants’ criminal histories, which date to their early teenage years.

Bopp told Davis and Pereira that she hoped that while in prison, Davis and Pereira would teach their children — both defendants have fathered multiple children — to “know that actions have consequences.”

Plans for appeal

As he did during the trial, Davis still categorically denies his involvement in Bopp’s murder. Before Plowman announced the sentence, Davis turned to the Bopp family in the courtroom gallery and told them that, while he was sorry for their loss, he had nothing to do with the murder. “I may be a lot of things,” he said, referencing his past criminal

convictions, “but I’m not a killer.” Evidence presented during the trial indicated that Davis’ phone was at the scene of the murder, but Davis maintained Jan. 26 that he was not present at the crime scene. “I’ve never been in Remington, Virginia, a day in my life,” he told the Bopp family. Martinez testified during the trial that Davis was present at the scene and fired the shots that killed Bopp. Pereira testified that Martinez pulled the trigger, and Davis was not there. Under the “concert of action” provision of Virginia law, however, anyone directly involved in an armed burglary that results in a homicide is guilty of first-degree murder, so positively identifying the triggerman is less important than determining that the defendants were involved in an armed burglary-turned-murder. The jury ruled that both Pereira and Davis met these criteria. However, attorneys for both Pereira and Davis indicated that they may appeal their clients’ convictions based on technical challenges to the concert of action provision under which their clients were convicted. Pereira’s attorney argued that the provision was applied incorrectly in his client’s case. Davis’ attorney added that the provision itself may be unconstitutional. Plowman disagreed with their arguments Jan. 26, but it will be up to an appeals court judge to confirm or overturn the decision if Davis and Pereira appeal.

As of Jan. 10, Town Council members had attached 25 conditions to the Amazon special-use permit. Number 2 and Number 17, below, relate to occupancy permits and noise restrictions.

2. Site Plan.

The Applicant shall produce a site development plan that indicates each phase of the use internal to the building and external as it relates to the technology required for each phase. Each phase will require a Conditional Certificate of Occupancy. A final Certificate of Occupancy will be granted upon completion of all phases.

17. Noise.

a. Each phase shall receive a conditional Certificate of Occupancy upon demonstrating conformance with the requirements of 9-14.2 of the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance relating to noise. The applicant shall provide and pay for a sound test prepared by a qualified party or company approved by the Director of Community Development that demonstrates the operation of each distinct phase as noted in Condition 2 after completion of the construction and prior to the issuance of the conditional Certificate of Occupancy. If the test finds the use does not meet 9-14.2 of the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance, then there shall be no commencement of use for that phase and no conditional Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued. b. The Applicant shall produce and pay for an annual noise test to be submitted to the Director of Community Development no later than July 1 for the life of the data center use. c. If the use violates 9-14.2 of the Town of Warrenton Zoning Ordinance relating to noise, then the Applicant shall have 48 hours to mitigate the violation of the use, or the Certificate(s) of Occupancy are automatically suspended, and the Applicant shall cease the use until such time that the Applicant can demonstrate the use meets said section of the Zoning Ordinance. Benedict said that attaching conditions might at least serve one purpose, a public relations campaign: “Issue press releases and try to make the biggest stink you can and try to shame Amazon into taking steps to moderate the noise, because there’s not much other leverage you have, especially if they’ve already got the occupancy permit,” he said.

Legal experts say conditions are enforceable

The Piedmont Journalism Foundation reached out to two law professors, one at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University and the other at the University of Virginia School of Law, for their views on enforcement of noise conditions. Donald Kochan, who teaches civil procedure and state constitutional law at George Mason, said he did not believe that Warrenton would have to go to court to shut down a noisy data center or one of its segments. “That’s just a matter of calling the sheriff. That’s not a matter of even having to go to court. You are the regulatory authority,” he said in an interview. “You can just shut them down.” If Amazon refused to shut down, he said, the town might seek an injunction to force Amazon to “comply with a lawfully issued order.” He assumed the town would win the injunction. The only other way he saw this ending up in court was if Amazon sued to invalidate the order. He cited a hypothetical case of a town shutting down a restaurant for salmonella poisoning. He said a judge would never say, “Well, I know the restaurant has salmonella and violates our health codes, but it is very valuable to the community, so I am going to nullify the health code and order that it must be allowed to continue operating in violation of the health code.” “I don’t see a situation in which, if the occupancy [permit] is actual-

ly revoked and were not reissued, in which Amazon continues in some lawless capacity to do something which they don’t have a permit to do,” he said. But Benedict said he had represented major corporations that did just that – refused to comply with local laws that would endanger or halt their business operations. The corporations won, he said. Cale Jaffe, who teaches environmental and regulatory law at the University of Virginia, said the whole matter may hinge on how lawless Amazon chose to be. Generally, he said, this case did not seem much different to him from other regulatory cases, for which local jurisdictions have inspection and enforcement procedures. “And obviously, in any of those cases, if somebody’s going to be obstreperous and resistant, then you run the possibility of lawyers getting involved,” he said. He said what the matter really boiled down to was whether Amazon would be “bad actor.” If they wanted to be a good corporate citizen of the community and violated the noise ordinance, they would work with the town to address it. “Or do we think that they’re a bad faith actor who’s just, you know, lying to say whatever they have to do to get this permitted? And once they’re up and running, they can just lawyer us into the ground?” Jaffe said. “It’s not a legal analysis. It’s just a human relations analysis. Do we think these people are trustworthy or not?” Benedict said he did not buy into the “good guy/bad guy” labels. “I view them as benign,” he said. “But when it comes to any effort to shut down their operations, then damn right they will be a bad citizen. Because they have to be, and I don’t blame them. I would do the same thing if I have a critical facility like that. I’m not going to shut it down.”

Va. Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel announces she will not seek another term VOGEL, from page 1

Segura launches Senate campaign

Vogel, 52, said the decision to step down was “really, really hard,” and she knew she would have regrets whether she decided to go or to stay. Her family was the deciding factor. Vogel’s third child was the first ever born to a sitting senator in Virginia, and she gave birth to another child two years later. Vogel has four chil-

Juan Pablo Segura, of Leesburg, launched his campaign for the 31st District of the Senate of Virginia on Jan. 28, with Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel’s (R-27th) endorsement. Segura is running for public office for the first time. He is co-founder and president of Babyscripts, a Washington, D.C.-based virtual maternity care platform. A licensed CPA, he has also worked as a finance consultant. Vogel said she believes Segura has the energy and passion required to represent the 31st District. “It is his time,” she said. dren and two stepchildren.

Fauquier Chamber of Commerce hosts Sen. Warner

U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, was at Laurel Ridge Community College on Friday to speak to more than 100 people about a wide range of issues, including investment in green energy, escalating prescription-drug costs, the U.S.-Chinese technology competition and affordable housing. Warner also emphasized the need to look for bipartisan solutions to problems facing the United States. Warner was a guest of the Fauquier Chamber of Commerce.

she said. “Your kids really need you.” For most of her children’s lives, she has split her time between home and Richmond. Vogel is also a managing partner in Holtzman, Vogel, Baran, Torchinsky & Josefiak PLLC, which has represented several high-profile, right wing political groups and donors. Vogel said of her children, “They’ve never known anything else. I’ve always been constantly available to everyone else.” Now, she says, she will be there for them as they move through school into college. She said she is looking forward to not missing fifth grade plays and other rites of childhood. There is a lot she’ll miss, Vogel said. “There are only 40 of us in the Senate. I will miss those 39 other amazing people that I have worked so closely with.” Vogel said that when she needed help with a bill that may not have been important to other areas of the state but was vital to her constituents – one that touches the equestrian community, for instance — her fellow senators stepped up to help, and she did the same for them. “Sometimes it’s the little things that mean so much. We forged strong relationships.”

Vogel said she feels good about always voting her conscience and “not being reflexively partisan is what makes it work.” Vogel served on the Rules and Finance and Appropriations committees and committees for General Laws and Technology, Privileges and Elections. She’ll miss working to help her constituents, she said. “It’s kind of like being a social worker. I solve people’s problems all day. It’s really fulfilling. After November, when people ask me ‘Can you help me with this?’ I’ll have to say, ‘No, honestly, I really can’t.’ That will be hard.” But Vogel said she and her fellow senators still have lots of work to do. “We have this legislative session to get through, and the budget.” She specifically mentioned the $2.6 billion budget surplus that needs to be allocated. One of Vogel’s colleagues told her it’s “super important to know when to say when. I have a lot of years ahead of me. I feel good about it. I’m leaving at the top of my game.” Reach Robin Earl at rearl@fauquier.com

Warrenton planning commissioners seek training for all members TRAINING, from page 2 The motion criticized Amazon’s application for missing information on the project’s likely noise, electric power requirements, tax revenues and visual impacts. The town council took up the application at its Jan. 10 meeting but has yet to vote on the data center. The proposed Amazon data center has been described by some residents as the most important land-use decision in the town’s history, propelling the planning council into the limelight. In October, the town found itself

looking to fill half the seats on the six-member planning commission after two members — former Chair Susan Rae Helander and Ali Zarabi — declined to seek reappointments and a third — Gerald Johnston — gave notice that he was moving out of the town limits and would be ineligible to serve. The Warrenton Town Council appointed two new members — Lasher and Barbour — to bring the total number of planning commission members to five. That’s the minimum number required for a quorum. A quorum is required to make decisions at the commission’s monthly meetings. The role of the commission is to make recommendations to the town council on land-use applications, policies and plans.

Remington woman dies in 2-vehicle crash

section of U.S. 29 (James Madison Highway) and U.S. 15 Business (James Madison Street) near Remington, just south of the intersection of U.S. 29 and VA. 28. VSP Sgt. Brent Coffey reported Friday that Esry was southbound on U.S. 29 in a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser when she started to turn left to continue into Remington. As the Chrysler crossed the northbound lanes of U.S. 29, the

Cruiser and a northbound 1995 Mack dump truck collided. Esry, who was wearing a seat belt, died at the scene, Coffey said. The driver of the dump truck, a 20-year-old man from Chantilly, Virginia, was not injured in the crash. He also was wearing a seat belt. Coffey said the crash remains under investigation.

Diana Esry, 62, of Remington died of injuries she suffered in a two-vehicle crash near Remington on Thursday, Jan. 26, Virginia State Police said in a news release. The accident happened at 11:19 a.m. at the inter-

Warrenton police officer will never forget coaxing distraught woman off bridge HOWSER, from page 1 Howser does not enjoy the limelight and was humble about the help she provided. “I feel like anyone can be empathetic to someone being suicidal,” she said. “I don’t know what the professional thing to say was,” she said. “I just know she needed to hear the truth. “It’s just pain that you want to stop,” Howser said of people who are thinking of ending their lives. “And then just the fact of feeling so lonely and that you just need to hear that someone is going to be there for you.” On that day in July, Howser pulled up beside the other two police cars and saw her colleagues talking to a woman. From the body language at a distance, it looked as if everyone were sight-seeing, Howser said. That perception changed as she realized the woman had climbed over a barrier meant to keep people from falling or jumping from the bridge. She could hear the woman talking. “She doesn’t want to live anymore. She is wondering if the height is enough to kill her,” said Howser, who quickly realized she knows the woman. Howser had arrested her on drug charges a year earlier, and the woman and Howser had a court date coming up in a few days. “Hey,” she called out to the woman. “It’s me.” Howser wasn’t sure if she was the best person to help, given the arrest, or if the woman even would remember her.

VFW Post 9835 community service award winners

Seven public servants were recognized Jan. 19 at a ceremony hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9835 in Warrenton. Post Commander Tony Lunn was assisted during the ceremony by former commander Jeff Dombroff, who provided the testimonials for each award winner. Julie Curry, social studies teacher at Auburn Middle School and chair of the social studies department Heather Hertrich, emergency communications assistant supervisor for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Master Deputy Sheriff Frank Haldeman, field training officer for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office Officer Maribeth Howser, Warrenton Police Department (see accompanying story) Firefighter Joseph B. Saffer, of the Warrenton Volunteer Fire Company Scott Chamberlain, technician II with Fauquier County Department of Fire and Rescue & Emergency Management Former Warrenton Police Chief Mike Kochis, currently chief of police for the Charlottesville Police Department She did. “Officer Howser, you arrested me,” the woman said. “The next thing out of her mouth was, ‘You saved my life.’” As it turned out, the arrest had given woman a chance to get clean and create a plan for her life. However, some extremely difficult personal circumstances had led her to thoughts of suicide and to the bridge. She had scratches on her neck and days-old cuts on her wrists deep enough to expose tendons. Although Howser lacked the specialized Critical Intervention Training that officers undergo to help people suffering a mental-health crisis, she has lost many friends to suicide. She thought about what she would have said to those friends had she been with

them when they were hurting. She said she would want them to know, “Do you really want to die, or do you just want to stop hurting?” Those are the words she shared with the woman on the bridge. “That puts a lot of things in perspective for someone with the mindset of ‘I can’t do anything. I am at this low point in my life,’” Howser said. “It’s an emotional pain that they can’t verbalize and that they can’t process.” The two women quickly developed a rapport. Howser and the two other officers were able to get the woman to safety. “The first thing that happened is her and I just hugged each other.” Howser is tough, and hugs are not part of police protocol, but the moment called for humanity

The woman was taken by ambulance to Fauquier Hospital. Howser and one of the other officers on the scene later visited the woman at the hospital several times. In addition, Howser made sure that the woman’s court date was adjusted so she would not face additional charges for failing to show up while she was hospitalized. Howser found and saved an Instagram post the woman made but didn’t tell her about. The woman posted, “She’s arrested me three or four times in the last year, and I know if I didn’t break the law, she wouldn’t have arrested me, but I’m thankful and grateful for the run-ins that I’ve had with her because I’m getting better. She saved my life. “I wanted to call her and thank her and give her my appreciation for my life and her compassion,” the woman says in the Instagram post. “She’s a wonderful one.” Howser said she keeps the post on her phone and looks at it when she’s having a bad day.

Levi Norwood sentenced to life in prison for murdering mother and brother NORWOOD, from page 1 stole a car at a nearby house and fled to North Carolina, where he was found and taken into custody. Joshua Norwood killed himself two months later. Circuit Judge James Fisher announced the sentence at the conclusion of a 1 ½ hour hearing Tuesday morning. It was the first time prosecutors played for the court a video recorded in a Durham, North Carolina, interrogation room after Levi Norwood was arrested. The video was referenced in written narrative filed with the plea agreement, but only small excerpts from Norwood’s statements previously had been made public. Norwood did not take the stand Tuesday and has not testified in open court since his arrest.

Post-arrest confession

In the video from North Carolina, Norwood is alone in a small interrogation room, handcuffed and sitting in a chair. After about 20 minutes of silence, he sees the security camera and begins to mumble to himself, eventually raising his voice to an audible level to recount the murders in excruciating detail over an hour of rambling, sometimes unintelligible monologue. Norwood says in the video that he killed his parents because they would not let him be romantically involved with a girl whom they thought was worsening his mental state. Because his parents were “taking his life away” by refusing to let

him be with the girl, he said, killing them “is self-defense.” “I did it all just so I would see [the girl],” he says at another point, explaining that he planned to run away with her after murdering his family. The only regret he expresses is his failure to kill his father, whom Levi Norwood shot at and missed before fleeing the scene. “All they had to do was just emancipate me,” he says at another point. “This would have never happened to them.” Why he killed his 6-year-old brother is less clear. Norwood said at one point it was to save him from “rape and abuse in an orphanage.” But while he admits that it was “kind of sad” to kill his brother, he, at other points, appeared to relish the act. Wyatt “will never get to enjoy his Valentine’s Day or birthday or any of the other things in life, because I killed him.” According to prosecutors, Norwood told a psychiatrist during a later evaluation that he killed Wyatt to “punish” his parents. Throughout the monologue, Norwood jokes and chuckles about gruesome details of the murders. He muses at various times about what version of “insane” he might be diagnosed with, whether he will be sent to a juvenile or adult prison and what last meal he should choose if he is sentenced to death. At other times, he appears to address imaginary friends with names like “Smiley,” “Viper” and “Zero.” Looking around the room, he says, “I like this. It’s fun. It’s fitting ®

for me.” He says that the murders “actually helped” his anxiety. “Why is it so enjoyable killing people?” he muses. “It just feels right.” He often repeats his frustration about his own mental state. “I wish I could feel f------ emotion,” Norwood says at one point. “I want to be normal.” But like in many parts of the monologue, he quickly changes the subject. “At least I don’t have to worry about my math grade anymore.”

Alleged childhood abuse

Norwood’s attorney, public defender Ryan Ruzic, did not dispute any of the facts surrounding the murders themselves. But Ruzic pointed out that Norwood alleged to a doctor after the murders that his father had physically and mentally abused him from a young age, asking the judge to consider those allegations when imposing a sentence. Joshua Norwood allegedly forced a “very young” Levi to kill small animals, insulting him when he was reluctant to participate. Joshua Norwood allegedly threatened to kill his son if he ever dated a Black girl — or was gay — sometimes pointing a gun at his son to make the point. The father allegedly beat Levi in a hardware store with a crowbar in a fit of rage. Joshua Norwood allegedly “actively resisted” attempts by other family members to get Levi mental health treatment. Ruzic said that Joshua Norwood’s alleged treatment of his son made it “almost inescapable” that, especial-

ly with severe mental health issues left untreated, Levi would engage eventually in some kind of violence. “This is not a crime that came out of nowhere,” Ruzic argued, adding that Levi grew up in an “extremely racist … abusive and demeaning” home environment because of his father. “Society, had we known what was happening, maybe could have stopped it,” Ruzic said. “In many ways, [Levi] is indeed a victim.” The prosecutor, Fauquier County Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Hook, successfully rebutted Ruzic’s arguments for leniency, however. Even if his “dad was the worst person, Levi has taken his place,” Hook argued. “I would argue that Levi is worse than any way they portray his father.” And, Hook said, Norwood only alleged the years of parental abuse after he was arrested. The murders were not about any alleged abuse, Hook said, pointing out that the monologue from the North Carolina interrogation room made no mention of any alleged abuse. Instead, Hook argued, “This is about a girl.” Norwood’s family was “just a normal family with their flaws,” Hook argued, “but Levi is a dangerous person.” In an especially poignant moment, Hook read a note Joshua Norwood wrote in Levi’s birthday card a month before the murders. “I love you buddy,” the card read, “and I’m proud to call you my son.” Reach Coy Ferrell at cferrell@ fauquier.com

News of Amazon’s expansion in Virginia alarming On Jan. 20, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced that he and Amazon have a plan to expand data centers in Virginia, to the tune of $35 billion more in data center campuses. The governor’s press release said this plan is “to establish multiple data center campuses across Virginia. Numerous localities in the Commonwealth are under consideration and will be decided at a later date. These new campuses will combine expandable capacity to position AWS for longterm growth in the Commonwealth.” Multiple data center campuses? With “expandable capacity?” $35 billion worth? With numerous locations already under consideration, to be decided at a later date?

This news should make us all ask, “What does this mean for Warrenton? How many data center campuses have already been slotted for our town and county?” It doesn’t take a genius to see that Amazon is pushing south, from Loudoun and Prince William counties, into Fauquier. Available land, electric power and public tolerance are being maxed out in Loudoun and Prince William counties. Fauquier could be in the bull’s eye for massive data center campuses. Residents of Warrenton and Fauquier have already been up in arms about the single data center Amazon has proposed on Blackwell Road. Hundreds of people have spo-

ken at Warrenton Town Hall over the past seven months in opposition to the data center on Blackwell. Two thousand have signed a petition in opposition. Almost every week, there are one or two letters in the Fauquier Times in opposition. Exactly three people have spoken at town hall in support of the Amazon data center. Just three. And two of them don’t even live in Fauquier County. Despite the opposition, despite the concerns about noise, visual blight and incomplete and bad information from Amazon, the Warrenton Town Council could vote to approve the data center on Valentine’s Day, Tuesday, Feb. 14, at

Fauquier High School. Please think long and hard about what this means for Warrenton. One massive data center on the gateway into Warrenton would be bad enough. Far worse is the precedent it would set for many more data centers in and around Warrenton. I hope every resident of Warrenton attends the Feb. 14 hearing and weighs in with comments. At least be there, to support those brave enough to stand up and speak on this vitally important matter and the future of this town that we treasure. LAUREN DONAHOO Warrenton

Power needs must be part of the calculation on Amazon application As the Warrenton Town Council grapples with the Amazon application for a special use permit, it is essential to look at the issue in its entirety before voting. Compartmentalizing it works to Amazon’s advantage, not the community’s. Though it may be convenient for Amazon, a vote on the expansive refrigerated computer server warehouse that ignores the plans for a substation to power it is a mistake and a fiction. Indeed, Amazon has tried to distance itself from it given the uproar over the transmission towers. Amazon is no longer considering a substation on its property, and its attorney has said that Amazon has nothing to do with Dominion Energy’s plans for a substation. Yet, as Dominion spokespeople stated in public meetings (and when questioned by the town council), either an expansion of the existing Warrenton substation east of town or the placement of a new substation are needed to power the Amazon operation. If the Amazon project is not approved, Dominion will not need to pursue either at this time. Voting without considering the substation not only plays into Amazon’s hands, it obscures two important things. First, Amazon needs quite a lot of energy. According to calculations by the Pied-

mont Environmental Council, using Dominion data, the Amazon data center will consume more than double the amount of energy used by all the homes in Warrenton. It’s hard to imagine that one building from one company will use vastly more energy than all the residents in town. Though Amazon touts reducing its carbon footprint and publicizes funding of local environmental initiatives, the giant data center and its high demand for energy are unlikely to be part of the solution to the climate crisis. The second crucial thing overlooked is the substation’s impact on Warrenton’s environmental, recreational and historic resources. Dominion’s current preferred site for a 10-acre substation lies across town, right along the Greenway. The Greenway is an amenity to cherish and enhance with compatible uses. Our comprehensive plan calls for housing, park land and green space on that site. The property also contains one of the last remaining wetlands in town, complete with a pond. Warrenton relies on those wetlands to drain stormwater off Falmouth Street and Old Meetze Road. Furthermore, the property is right next to Alwington Manor, which, though just outside the historic district, is one of the

most historically significant buildings in town. A substation located there is incompatible with and threatens all of these. Here is another thing that most of us were unaware of. Dominion wants to run a private distribution line through miles of our town’s streets solely to service the Amazon data center. “Private” means that no one else will be able to tap into that line. It will be exclusively for Amazon. [Editor’s note: Stephen Precker of Dominion Energy states, “At this time we anticipate the customer to utilize the full capacity of the underground distribution line; however, should the full capacity use not come to fruition in the future, another user may be able to use the leftover capacity.”] And for that, Dominion will tear up our streets and demand a 30-to-40-foot right-of-way all along the route. Why are we doing this? This is much too high a price for Warrenton to pay. Let’s protect the town’s recreational, environmental and historic resources. Vote no. STEVE WOJCIK Warrenton

Jan. 28 was moving day for rescued goats

COURTESY PHOTOS

“Donner”

The goats formerly known as Ice and Rain have been renamed and relocated. Their new names are Donner and Blitzen; their new home is Fauna Haven Animal Sanctuary in Standardsville. Rain and Ice were rescued by staff members and friends of the Fauquier SPCA just before Christmas, after being trapped overnight in freezing weather on a tiny piece of land in the middle of the Rappahannock River near Remington. The two adult goats were picked up Saturday afternoon and are getting settled in their new home. Joy Collins of Fauna Haven sent an update to SPCA Executive Director Devon Settle Jan. 30: “They are do-

ing great! I have kissed both their noses but have yet to actually pet Donner. … I love that they are in quarantine because it will give us some time for them to get to know us without distractions. We love them so much already! They are the sweetest things. “They just back away if they don’t want you to touch them. Not an aggressive bone in their bodies, I don’t think. We can’t wait to feel those ears, but we will wait until they are OK with it. “They are disappointed in just getting hay with no chips, but they do get an occasional animal cracker. We are so thrilled for them to be a part of our Fauna Haven family.”

Kettle Run wins district swim title, boys are second

Kettle Run

By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

It was a record-breaking evening for the Kettle Run swim teams at last Friday’s Northwestern District championship meet at the Warrenton Aquatic and Recreation Facility (WARF). Of the 22 events against Fauquier, Liberty and the four Winchester-based schools, Kettle Run emerged from the water first in 10 of them, the most of the seven schools. The Cougars’ girls won the title by capturing six events and scoring 164 points, followed by Sherando (130), James Wood (58), Millbrook (54), John Handley (54), Liberty (30), and Fauquier (14) in order. The Kettle Run boys (130) were second after being touched out by James Wood (146), but finished ahead of Sherando (78), Millbrook

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

The Kettle Run swim team is enjoying another banner year. Freshman Emma Cigna (above) helped the Cougars win last week’s district meet. Regions are next Feb. 11. (68), Liberty (48), Fauquier (23) and John Handley (11). “Good team overall effort from this entire year, this entire season. I’ve been absolutely proud of them all,”

Kettle Run coach Alex Ciopyk said. Next up is the region swim meet Feb. 11 at Claude Moore Recreation Center in Sterling. The state meet is Feb. 18 in Richmond.

On the girls side, Kettle Run swept the three relay events, setting school records and qualifying for states in all three. They won the 200-yard medley in 1:49.85, the 200 freestyle in 1:42.48, and the 400 free in 3:40.37. “I was impressed with all three of our relay teams. Every single one of them broke a school record today,” Ciopyk said. Sophomore Caroline Agee won the 200 individual medley in 2:04.58, tied Sherando’s Taylor Smith in the 100 backstroke at 1:05.47, and swam in the 200 medley and freestyle relays. Both times set Kettle Run records and will send Agee to states. Junior Lily Von Herbulis is headed to states as she reached the wall first in the 100-yard freestyle in just 54.31 seconds, while also anchoring all three relays. See SWIM, page 22

EAGLES FLY OUT TO EARLY LEAD IN 59-48 WIN OVER FALCONS Minor scores 20, Logan 14 as Liberty avenges Jan. 6 loss to FHS By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

How evenly matched are the Fauquier and Liberty boys basketball teams? They’re so close that it’s impossible to predict how the game will go. On Jan. 6, Fauquier took a double-digit lead early, led by as many as 20 points, and hung on to win 57-48. On Friday, Liberty took a double-digit lead early, led by 20 and won by a near identical score of 59-48 in Bealeton. “If we play them again it’s probably going to be an overtime game,” said Liberty coach Pat Frazer, whose team is 6-15 and 2-9 in district play, with Fauquier at 5-15 and 2-8. Liberty’s first quarter could not have started any better as they bolted to a 10-0 lead. Senior John Logan hit the first two jumpers and a 3-pointer, scoring seven of his 14 points to put Liberty up 16-5 after the first. “He’s been shooting well in practice. That’s helping him, just the confidence,” Frazer said. “But he did a

nice job on the boards, too, not just making his shots.” Fauquier nearly cut the lead in half, trailing 25-19 at the break. The Falcons hit three 3-pointers in the second quarter and held the Eagles to just nine points. “We came back, cut it down to six going into halftime, so, proud of our fight,” said Fauquier coach Jordan Orndorff. Liberty got back into their groove in the third with Logan and juniors Jayden Curtis and Tyreke Smith each hitting a three to expand the lead to 12. Senior Joe Minor finished the quarter by converting three layups in a row, the last coming with just one second left in the quarter, making the score 42-30. The star forward tallied a game-high 20 points, with 14 of them coming in the second half. “What a great kid. He’s just having a marvelous season. Win or lose he’s always there for us,” Frazer said. Needing a spark down 12 in the fourth, the Falcons deployed a full court press to try to generate turnovers but couldn’t capitalize on them as Liberty’s lead blossomed to 20 just a few minutes into the quarter. See BASKETBALL, page 22

Kenza Chienku and the Falcons were elated to beat Liberty last Friday.

Locked in a tight battle with local rival Liberty, Fauquier girls basketball coach Brian Foddrell told his girls at halftime, “The third quarter is where we’ve been blowing games.” Foddrell said the players responded, “Not today, coach, not today.” And the host Falcons went out and proved it, turning a 16-15 halftime lead into a 39-23 victory last Friday for their first Northwestern District win of the year. Foddrell said his happy girls were waiting for him in the postgame

locker room where they repeated, “Not today!” with gusto. “It was pretty cool,” Foddrell said. The Falcons cut down on their turnovers, got some transition baskets and built a small lead into a larger one. “It was hard to score, both teams were playing good defense,” Foddrell said. April Belcher led the Falcons with 14 points, Felicity Awunganyi had nine and Kenza Chienku seven. With one regular season game left against Kettle Run (5-5) Friday at home, the Falcons (1-10) are looking to stay ahead of the Eagles (1-10) for

vital seeding position for next week’s district tournament first round. Both Fauquier and Liberty are tied for last place in the seven-team district. If either one can finish sixth, they’d have a more favorable district tournament opening game against either third-place Kettle Run or perhaps James Wood. Kettle Run has been playing well lately, losing a close game to firstplace Millbrook (9-1) 50-44. The Cougars close with two winnable games this week: Handley Tuesday and the Falcons Friday and can lock up third with two wins.

Speedy Cavins to run at UNC Wilmington By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

“She’s always been fast.”

Liberty High’s Isabelle Cavins always dreamed of playing college softball at her dream school, the University of North Carolina Wilmington. If you told her two years ago that she would be going to UNC Wilmington to run track, she wouldn’t have believed you. “It was kind of crazy. I originally went into the recruiting process thinking I was going to play softball,” said Cavins. “It wasn’t until last year when I just kind of had a change of heart.” Cavins, who was honored in a festive signing ceremony on Jan. 25, is going as an invited walk-on. The speedy center fielder started running track for softball conditioning. Now, the senior is a soon-to-be NCAA Division I sprinter. “It kind of switched from that to track becoming my main sport,” she said. “She’s always been fast. She played softball when she was four, and she was always the fastest one there,” said Leigh Cavins, Isabelle’s mother. Her recruitment at UNC Wilmington started with an email to the head coach, Jeff Klaves, who was impressed by Cavins’ times. She then received a phone call from Klaves, and the two shared an in-depth conversation about her and her track career. Cavins won the Northwestern District outdoor title in the 100 meters

As for the 300, she took second in the Northwestern District meet and set a personal record of 43.54 seconds in taking third at the VHSL Region 4C championship, again qualifying for states. During the outdoor season, she won districts in the 100-meter dash, setting a personal record of 12.47 seconds in the process. Once again, she qualified for both regionals and states. The current indoor season has been another successful winter for Cavins, picking up first place in the 55-meter dash twice. She has already qualified for both the state and national championships in the 55 and as a member of the 4x200 meter relay team. Despite all of her success on the track, Cavins still remains humble and hungry. “Just because I’m the best in Eagle nation doesn’t mean I’m the best in the nation,” Cavins said. “Now I have to go and I have to beat myself.” During her time at UNC Wilmington, she plans on competing in the 60, 100, and 200-meter events, which are her favorites. Cavins plans on studying education with the hopes of becoming an elementary school physical education teacher.

Flanked by mom Leigh Cavins and softball coach Chris Leatherman, Isabelle Cavins (center) was honored as a UNC Wilmington track recruit last week. last year, winning in a school record 11.47. She also combined with three teammates to capture the 1,600 relay in a school record 4:18.91. Cavins was third in the 100 at the region meet. The phone call resulted in Cavins taking an unofficial visit to the Wilmington campus last summer, and she loved it. “For me the biggest thing was the location, I really liked it a lot,” Cavins said. “It was kind of perfect because it’s not too far from home, but far enough.” Leigh Cavins knows this is the right place for her daughter. “She was very particular when she made her list, and it checked all of her boxes. It seemed like everything fell

perfectly into place.” Cavins later took an official visit where she was able to meet and watch her future teammates compete. Cavins is a sprinter, mainly competing in the 55 meters, 300 and 4 x 200 relay during the indoor track season in the winter, and the 100, 200, and 4 x 100 meter races during the outdoor track season in the spring. As a junior, Cavins had an incredible indoor track season. She took first place in the 55-meter dash at the Northwestern District meet and qualified for the Class 4 State Championship, where she advanced to take fifth in the finals after setting a personal record of 7.42 seconds in the prelims.

IT’S GO TIME IN HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

For returning stars like Liberty star heavyweight Ka’von Bumbrey, Friday’s Northwestern District meet is the first important step to the Feb. 17-18 state championships.

Liberty has shot to win district title, Kettle Run, Fauquier also in mix By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Defending champion Sherando is hosting and returns a potent squad. But Liberty coach Jayson Cody sees his Eagles as a strong option to win Friday’s Northwestern District wrestling meet. “The only team we have lost to is Sherando. If we pull ourselves together and wrestle hard like we normally do then there’s a chance we might be able come out ahead,” said Cody. Even if the Eagles don’t win, Liberty’s first-year coach is confident 10 Eagles out of the 14 weight classes will advance to regions off the meet. Liberty’s two stars, 165-pounder Noah Hall and heavyweight Ka’von Bumbrey, are near-locks to move one step closer to the Feb. 18 Class 4 state meet. Other Eagles expected to advance to the Feb. 11 region meet at independence High include 106-pounder Evan Cox, as well as Christian Eberhart (120), Tommy Clark (132), Cayden King (138), Conor Shadle (144), Logan Buchanan (175), Joseph Medina (190) and Nick Bryant (215). The top four district finishers qualify for the region meet.

Liberty recently took second at the 14-team Heritage Duals, then took care of James Wood and Fauquier on Senior Night. Hall and Bumbrey were standouts at the Heritage meet. “The real MVP (at Heritage) was Bumbrey. He scored 30 points with all the pins occurring in the first period,” said Cody. “Ka’von spent nine minutes and 51 seconds on the mat across five team duals.” Bumbrey’s value goes beyond his superb won-loss record. “He excels at being a leader on and off the mat. The room looks up to him during practice. If he sees anyone slacking off or being lazy he calls them out,” said Cody, “but he also builds them up to push through the workout, saying it’ll it easier if you just keep going and working.”

Falcons excited for district meet

Fauquier coach Chad Hoffman is viewing the district meet with anticipation. The Falcons are healing from injuries as they prepared for a Tuesday dual meet with Liberty, which was sending mostly JV wrestlers. “We will be cautious with who we send out Tuesday with hopes to have some kids for Friday,” said Hoffman.

FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL

He said the Falcons should have a full lineup for districts except for 165 pounds and perhaps 113. He said the staff is figuring out who to enter at 150 and 157. “I expect the kids to compete hard and exceed their own expectations. We are a big underdog, but when we are healthy and have a full lineup, we can compete with anyone. We’re excited for Friday,” Hoffman said. Like Liberty, the Falcons have two wrestlers capable of winning a state

title in defending 182-pound state champ Kingsley Menifee (now at 190) and Landon Jobber-Spence at 175. Other Falcons capable of a strong postseason run are Cole McAndrew at 120 and Cameron Hooks at 126. “McAndrew looks night and day from the beginning of the year. That kid is an awesome one to coach. he truly loves the sport,” said Hoffman. “And Hooks has been on a roll recently winning his last eight in a row.“

Hendrickson will be competing in three events at the state championship after taking second place in the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke. “They all did a really phenomenal job,” Ciopyk said. “All of them dropped substantial amounts of time, showing some good improvement.”

SWIM, from page 17 Sophomore Meghan Pauley and freshman Emma Cigna will also be swimming at states as Pauley dropped time in both the 200 and 500 free, while Cigna did the same in the 100 butterfly and backstroke. They both swam in the 200 free relay, while Pauley swam in the 400 free relay as well. On the boys side, the Cougars recorded further excellence. They finished first in the 200 free relay in 1:31.80 to make states and second in the 200 medley and the 400 free relays, qualifying for regionals in those. The 200 free relay team is comprised of seniors Mark Fallin, Andrew Hendrickson, Aiden Hess, and sophomore Jackson Tishler. Tishler won two events for the Cougars, and he’s going to states in both.

It was a successful meet for many Liberty swimmers as the Eagles were dropping time all throughout the night. The meet resulted in six individual swimmers and two relay teams punching their ticket to regionals. “I just put them in what I think they could swim, and they do it,” Eagles’ coach Stacy Laine said. “They are amazing, they will try anything, even if they’re scared.

On the boys side, the Eagles put in good enough times to reach regionals in the first and last events of the night, the 200 medley relay and 400 free relay. The relay teams are led by freshman Chase Laine, who made the region-cut time in the 50 free and 100 butterfly. Laine previously qualified in the 100 backstroke after setting a school record of 57.99, and the 200 free. Marshall Howard will also be swimming in regionals as the sophomore put in times of 1:03.44 in the 100 backstroke and 1:59.85 in the 200 free. Senior Jonathan Cannon and junior Reed Dodson also qualified for regionals. While also swimming in both relays, Cannon will compete in the 100 breaststroke and Dodson in the 200 individual medley and 500 free. “I just think it’s the culture of our team that has come to be, that they want to improve,” Laine said. “They just work hard in practice every day.”

competitive with everybody we play, and so are they. So that’s a really good win for us,” Frazer said. Dylan Donner led the Falcons with 11, followed by Ruiz with 10, Travis Brock with nine, and Williams with seven. Potucek and Owen Thorpe each scored four and Joe Jacques three. As for the Eagles, Minor had 20 while Logan had 14 and Smith 13. Xavier Banks scored five, Curtis three, and Andrew Ryman and Zach Billick each had two. Liberty’s under-the-radar contributor was

Fauquier

Sophomore Nina Woodside was the Falcons’ star of the night as she took home fourth in the 100 backstroke with a region-cut time of 1:02.53. With a time of 2:22.72, she’s also headed to regionals in the 200 individual medley. “I had several girls who were unable to even swim at the beginning of the season and through hard work at practice and their own determination outside of practice have become some of my fastest swimmers,” Falcons’ coach Tristan Chavez said. Graham Savage had the Falcons’ best result on the boys side as the senior took sixth and qualified for regionals in the 100 free at 56.15. Sophomore Marcus Pollack-Lamirand and junior Andrew Homenik will be competing at regionals as well. Pollack-Lamirand was sixth in the 100 breaststroke while Homenik picked up a top-10 finish in the 100 butterfly. In total, the Falcons had 10 girls and two boys drop time at the district meet. “I am super proud of all my swimmers,” Chavez said.

5-foot-8 junior Jayden Ulloa, who was tasked with guarding Donner for much of the game. Donner, often Fauquier’s top scorer, tried to post Ulloa up frequently in the first half, but had little success with just two points at halftime. “Just because you’re smaller doesn’t mean they’re just going to dominate you,” Frazer said. “JU did just an excellent job.” “I just really thought we came out ready to go,” Frazer said. “I thought tonight we had some energy, I thought we had some execution.”

John Norris O’Bannon, Jr. John Norris O’Bannon, Jr., a lifelong resident of Marshall, Virginia, passed away on January 20, 2023, at home with his family. He was 84. Johnny was born in Brunswick, Maryland on November 16, 1938. He grew up with a deep love for fishing, racehorses, and sports. His love for sports and his mother’s desire for him to have a great education led him down the road to The Woodberry Forest School in Orange, VA, where he excelled in football, basketball, and baseball. Upon graduation in 1958 from Woodberry, he headed further South and his next stop was the University of North CarolinaChapel Hill. At UNC-Chapel Hill, he played freshman football, basketball, and baseball while also being a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. His freshman basketball team was coached by the legendary, hall of famer, Dean Smith. At the close of his freshman year, the track coach saw Johnny sprint after a fly ball on the baseball field and convinced him track and field was his calling. He excelled in sprints, relays, and long jump. Johnny won the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship for indoor long jump in 1961 and followed that up with the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship for outdoor long jump in 1962. He graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1962 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. Johnny returned home to Marshall in 1962 to work alongside his parents, Norris and Lou, in the family business, the Marshall Hardware Store. He operated the Marshall Hardware Store for more than 30 years until it was sold in the mid 1990’s. After the sale of the family business, he held various other sales and management roles until his retirement. His time spent outside of the family business included his love for horse racing, fishing, the Washington Redskins, and tennis. Johnny and his father Norris operated JNO Stables where they raced horses at local racetracks including Charles Town, Laurel, and Pimlico. He would never miss a Sunday or Monday night Redskins game at RFK or FedEx field. Johnny’s competitive edge never waned, and he turned to tennis at the Chestnut Forks Tennis Club where he met many lifelong friends. He coached many youth sports teams and served in many organizations in Fauquier County including but not limited to the Great Meadows Foundation, the Marshall Ruritan Club, and the Marshall Volunteer Rescue Squad. Johnny is survived by his wife Sharon Rich O’Bannon; three children, LuAnne Tyler of Annapolis, MD, Tracye Wheless(Al) of Louisburg, NC, John Norris O’Bannon, III(Brittany) of Haymarket, VA; and six grandchildren, Hamilton Tyler, Hunter Tyler, Reed Wheless, John Norris O’Bannon, IV, Keegan O’Bannon, and Virginia O’Bannon.

24 OBITUARIES

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | February 1, 2023

OBITUARIES Nannette Craun On Sunday, January 22, 2023, Nannette Craun, horse and Yorkie lover, Rolling Stones fan, fisherwoman, and beachgoer passed away. She was sixty-three years old. Nannette - or Nan, as she was known to friends - was born May 22, 1959, in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to William and Martha Thomas. Nannette grew up in Pennsylvania with her parents and younger brother, Bill, living in Coopersburg, Quarryville, and Elizabethtown before relocating with her family to Chantilly in 1968. Growing up in the early 70s, Nannette loved rock-and-roll and even had a beaded bedroom door (that her brother Bill was not allowed to enter through). Nannette embodied the hippie culture throughout her life and was known for her easy-going personality. Nannette spent her childhood summers camping with her family as they piled into their 1965 Dodge Dart and zig-zagged across the US. They traveled across 30 different states and to Mexico on their PA-to-CA and back summer trips. Nannette also enjoyed picking on her younger brother, even “teaching him how to swim” by tossing him into a pool and “throwing him out of the second story of a barn” (although her side of the story was always that he wanted to learn how to fly). Nannette made a career out of printing and design, starting at TR Press in Warrenton on 5th Street in the late 80s. She worked at PIP Printing from ‘92 to ‘94 and then spent most of her professional career at Piedmont Press. Nannette retired from full-time work at Nokesville Print and Copy Center in 2016. Nannette married her first husband, David “Skeebo” Craun, in July of 1987 in a small backyard ceremony. Nannette and David shared a love of fishing and baseball. The two would pile into their little brown Nissan truck and go fishing as often as possible. They were routinely seen watching Orioles games together. The two welcomed their only child, Sara, in 1989. Unfortunately, David passed away in 1994. While living in Warrenton, Nannette loved to visit places like Fat Tuesday’s, Julio’s, and Napoleon’s. She routinely took her daughter to Ben and Mary’s to see Mike Fling play on the piano, Country Cookin’ so Sara could load her salad up on ranch dressing, and Tippy’s for Taco Tuesdays. In addition, she attended many concerts at Nissan Pavilion, like Aretha Franklin (whom she was incredibly excited about), the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Dave Matthews Band, to name a few. Nannette remarried in 2000 to Wayne Shifflett and moved to Sumerduck. They spent 17 years together until he passed away in 2017. They enjoyed watching sports together, attending local baseball and softball games, and being avid Washington Nationals and Commanders fans. They also spent lots of time outdoors together, going fishing, attending bluegrass festivals, and spending time with Wayne’s adult children and their families. Nannette’s pride and joy was her only child, Sara. She spent many years driving her back and forth from soccer tournaments all over Northern Virginia and loved to watch her play while she attended Cedar Lee Middle School and Liberty High. Many of you might remember her cheering Sara on (and sometimes getting into trouble with her sideline antics). When Sara attended VCU for college, Nannette went down to visit as often as possible, mainly to clean her apartment, but also to spend time exploring Richmond together and dining at Richmond restaurants like Comfort, which was one of her favorites. In 2012, Sara graduated from VCU and moved out of Virginia to pursue a new career in New York City. Nannette made many trips back and forth to NYC to see her. They spent lots of time going to Rockaway Beach (not a surprise as Nannette loved the beach), seeing historical sites within the city and getting food from Halal Guys (her favorite). Although Nannette could not come to visit Sara after she moved to Texas in 2021, they FaceTimed many times, and Sara shared pictures of her new home with her mom (including photographic evidence that her apartment was, in fact, clean “for once”). Nannette was never one to want to stay inside and was distinctly interested in activities that would get her out of the house and into nature. In junior high, Nannette became interested in horseback riding and became a competitive hunter-jumper with her horse CM in high school. She continued to work with horses at stables in Chantilly and attended college for equestrian studies, although she did not complete her degree. While she didn’t own horses in her adult life, Nannette continued to indulge in her love of horses by attending the Gold Cup and other steeplechase races yearly with her daughter and close friends. Her eyes would light up whenever she saw or rode a horse throughout the rest of her life. Nannette’s love for animals extended into her adult life, starting with getting a cat named Soho for her daughter, Sara after her first husband passed. When Soho “went missing,” she rescued a new cat named Jack. Jack and Sara were inseparable, and he was a great indoor/outdoor cat, which Nannette enjoyed. Nannette had many other pets over the years, including having several outdoor cats at once, and she even rescued two adult Yorkies, Joey and Gabe, who were incredibly needy. Still, she loved them so much and took so much pride in caring for them. She also loved her step-daughter Amanda’s dog, Willis, and could be seen walking with him up and down their gravel road in Sumerduck and yelling out of her bedroom window at him to “stop barking!” in the middle of the night. Nannette loved to work in her yard and spent many years tending to a large backyard garden where she grew many different kinds of fruits and vegetables, many of which she handed out to neighbors and friends (remember all the squash she would get?). She could be seen paying particular attention to her crepe myrtle and planting and replanting bushes and other plants at her home in Sumerduck. She especially loved caring for orchids and routinely had at least one in her home. After Nannette retired from full-time work, she worked at a plant nursery, taking advantage of her employee discount to spruce up her front lawn repeatedly (and complaining about them leaving the flowers out overnight). If you ever had a question about a specific type of plant and how to take care of it, Nannette could tell you how to do it. Outside of gardening, Nannette enjoyed many other outdoor activities. She was an avid fisherwoman, starting with baitcasting with her first husband, David, and then trying her hand at fly fishing with her second husband, Wayne. She also spent as much time at the beach as possible, whether it be Virginia Beach, the Outer Banks, the beaches of Florida, and most recently, Colonial Beach. Nannette was her happiest sitting beside the ocean. Nannette also loved to travel and, in recent years, went to Ireland twice with her best friend Katie and her daughters, where she indulged in many Guinness beers (her favorite). Nannette loved all types of music, from R.E.M. and Alanis Morisette to The Rolling Stones and The Seldom Scene. She attended the Graves Mountain Bluegrass Festival for many years, camping with her late husband Wayne and enjoying the festival atmosphere, including bathing in the cold creeks (brr!). She also loved bbqing, becoming the grill queen at her home in Sumerduck, and cooking outdoors as much as possible. She indulged in licorice, Toblerone, pistachios, Reese’s cups, and unsweet tea. She loved watching Pardon The Interruption and Law & Order, was a huge Anthony Bourdain fan, and was a devoted Howard Stern listener. She was a regular at M&P’s in Sumerduck (she loved a good Hawaiian pizza) and visited the Sumerduck Trading Company frequently while she lived there. In recent years, Nannette spent most of her time in Warrenton with her partner, Wayne O’Brien. The two would visit Colonial Beach together in hopes of one day purchasing a home and retiring there. Although those plans never materialized, Nannette loved and appreciated her time there with him. They also went on trips to the beach in Navarre, FL, and Jekyll Island, GA. Lately, they spent most of their time hanging out around the apartment, watching Law & Order and cooking shows together, and taking care of their lizard, Fred. Her family recognizes the sacrifices Wayne made to make Nannette happy and care for her as her health declined and greatly appreciates everything he did for her over the last four years. In her 63 years, Nannette taught her friends and family many things. That the Rolling Stones were better than the Beatles, that Guinness was the beer above all beers, and to always Do The Right Thing. Despite her struggles, Nannette was always kind and loving toward everyone she came across. She is incredibly missed. Nannette is survived by her daughter, Sara Craun, her father, William (Nancy) Thomas, her brother, Bill (Angie) Thomas, and their children, Christine and Dylan Thomas, her three step-children, Christine Meadows, Amanda Shifflett, and Thomas Shifflet, and her partner, Wayne O’Brien. She was preceded in death by her first husband, David “Skeebo” Craun, her second husband, Wayne Shifflett, and her mother, Martha Thomas. There will be a celebration of life from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at Found & Sons Funeral Chapel of Culpeper, VA. Nannette did not want a funeral, and she honestly would’ve been upset that this obituary was written in the first place. Because of this, we request that only cut bouquets that don’t remind you of a funeral are sent; some of her favorite flowers were orchids, lilies, lilacs, peonies, sunflowers, tulips, and roses. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to Paws for Seniors (https://pawsforseniors.org/), Colonial Beach Community Foundation (https://cbcommunityfoundation.org/), or Alcoholics Anonymous (https://www.aa.org/). Condolences may be shared with her family online at foundandsons.com.

OBITUARIES Happy Heavenly Birthday Kenneth Thomas Krick Born 6 February 1963 - Died 15 January 2022

Anne Mudd Cabaniss May 16, 1929-January 19, 2023 Anne Mudd Cabaniss, 93, a native of Birmingham, Alabama and longtime resident of Alexandria, Virginia, died January 19 at the Inova Alexandria Hospital. A Southern lady to the core, she was an unforgettable presence to anyone who knew her. Passionate in her convictions, tenacious, generous, considerate, thoughtful, curious, energetic, loyal, proud of her heritage, creative and enterprising, she was committed to righting wrongs and promoting deserving causes until the very end. Mrs. Cabaniss was the only survivor of six children born to William S. Mudd and Nellie Lee Nabers, both of Birmingham, Alabama. Four of her siblings died in childhood and her brother died in a flight training accident in Alabama during WWII. Her father died months after her brother. After her 1949 marriage to Jelks Henry Cabaniss, Jr., she traveled the world as a US Army wife, including three years in West Point and three years in Germany, eventually settling in Alexandria. There she raised her family, creating beauty and inspiration in home and garden while promoting conservative ideals through thought and action. During the 1970s she authored three cookbooks: two volumes of the Delectable Cookery of Alexandria with her friend Polly Norment Burke, and separately, The Conservative’s Cookbook: In Your Mouth You Know It’s Right. She and her husband also maintained a home in Sperryville, Virginia for many years. An avid reader, in the 1980s she founded and managed Greenhouse Books, a bookstore in Marshall, Virginia, and delighted in exposing all ages to great literary and historical works. She also created Greenhouse Publishing to bring back into print classics that she loved, emphasizing Southern literature and children’s classics. In later years, she created the General John J. Pershing Reflective Essay Awards at the West Point Military Academy, in partnership with her late husband’s friend and West Point classmate, General John H. Cushman, an essay competition for cadets on “the high ideals of duty, honor, and service to the country.” Mrs. Cabaniss’ lifelong love of history and animals is reflected in her contributions to such Stratford Hall, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, and Arlington Historical House and Gardens in Birmingham. Mrs. Cabaniss is survived by her son, Jelks H. Cabaniss III and his wife Eliana; daughter Nabers Cabaniss Johnson and her husband Christopher; grandsons Henry Cabaniss Johnson and his wife Heidi; Alexander Cabaniss, Jelks H. Cabaniss IV, and Leigh Cabaniss; and great-grandson Werner Haeberle Johnson. She was predeceased by her husband Jelks H. Cabaniss, Jr. and her daughter Ayn Mudd Cabaniss. A graveside service will be held Friday, February 3, 2023 at Little Georgetown Cemetery, 5370 Trapp Branch Rd, Broad Run, Virginia 20137 starting at 2:00 p.m. Online condolences may be expressed at www.moserfuneralhome.com

Evan Hamilton Ashby, III Evan Hamilton Ashby, III, age 67, of Remington, VA passed peacefully at Autumn Care of Madison, VA on Thursday, January 26th, 2023. He was born on March 22nd, 1955 in Manassas, VA, son of the late, Evan “Doc” & Helen Ashby. Evan, “Skeet” to nearly all who knew him, was a man of great knowledge and varied interests who could compassionately converse on most any subject. Skeet’s uncanny ability to maintain a positive attitude in the face of adversity or respond with love and kindness in any situation was deeply inspiring and will be sorely missed. Skeet spent his childhood immersed in sports and Remington’s Volunteer Fire & Rescue squad. He graduated from Fauquier High School in 1973 and continued his education at Virginia Military Institute. Upon graduation in 1977, Skeet commissioned in the US Air Force and completed 17.5 years of honorable service as a master navigator aboard KC-135 refueling aircraft. His work life was somewhat varied until he answered the call to ministry with the United Methodist Church by attending Wesley Theological Seminary and graduating in 2007. Unfortunately, Skeet was unable to realize his calling as a minister. He fell ill in 2008 with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Skeet courageously battled to regain physical health and capability for the remainder of his life. His exemplary perseverance, determination, and positive attitude in spite of his physical limitations inspired all who knew him to strive for greater strength and compassion. Later in life, Skeet rediscovered his love of public service. He served on the Remington Town Council and played a major role in the construction of Remington’s new town hall. Skeet was also a lifelong learner with a relentless thirst for knowledge. Whether formal education, reading, or absorbing trivia to compete against Jeopardy! contestants from his chair at home, he always enjoyed learning new things. His love of knowledge was strongest for computers, technology, movies, and music. Additionally, he enjoyed hands-on hobbies including woodworking and building model rockets. He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Brenda Ashby; three children, Evan H. Ashby, IV & his wife, Rachel of Virginia Beach, VA, Blair L. Harlow & her husband, Trevor of Culpeper, VA and Robert W. Ashby & his wife, Alison of Minot, ND; sister, Kee Miller & her husband, Bill of Culpeper, VA; brother, Will Ashby & his wife, Dawn of Remington, VA; and granddaughter, Charlotte Ashby of Minot, ND. A service and interment will be held at a later date yet to be determined. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Remington United Methodist Church or the VMI Class of 1977 Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Mary Louise J. Aldridge Mary Louise J. Aldridge, the most perfect woman her husband, Milton, ever met, has gone on to be with the Lord and Savior of her life. She was born May 27, 1937 and passed on January 25, 2023. She was the second daughter of eight children to Hayward Johnson and Mary Vandiver Johnson. Her older sister, three older brothers, and a younger sister preceded her in death. Of the eight children, now there are two, Willa Dean Sager of Lebanon, TN and Eunice Twiggs of Blackfoot, ID. She had two daughters, Mary Katheryne Aldridge of Fredericksburg, VA and Elizabeth Anne Aldridge of Odenton, MD. There were no grandchildren, but she claimed nine great grandchildren whom she loved dearly. The four oldest were the ones she had in her home the most. They were Hayden, Colby Skyler, Bradleigh, and Kamryn. Their presence in her home brought many hours of great joy and pleasure especially when they played games, did puzzles, visited the local ice cream parlor, walked the path around the farm, rode and drove the tractor, and shopped at the local five and dime store. Louise spent many years teaching a Bible class with her husband, and she loved the people in the class and gloried in the love they showed her. She, also, thoroughly enjoyed the Vacation Bible School and Sunday school classes she singly taught over the years. A most enjoyable time was spent caring for the children in the nursery during regular worship time at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. The Mt. Carmel Baptist Church members were the most important people in her life excepting her family members. There is no way her departure can ever be filled. There will be a viewing at Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton, VA on Sunday January 29, 2023 from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm, and the burial service will be held at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church cemetery on Monday January 30, 2023 at 11am. If you are so inclined, please remember her with a donation to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.

Not all cemeteries are the same. Cemeteries are usually categorized by the burial options offered, types of service allowed, customer services provided, religious affiliation, and ownership structure. You may wish to consider additional factors like military services, location, and whether a cemetery offers a full-service option. Some of the most common types of cemeteries include monumental (traditional, upright headstones), memorial park (flat, lawn-level headstones), garden (upright headstones in a natural setting), municipal (owned by the city or town), natural burial (minimal environmental impact), veteran (owned and operated by the Veteran Affairs Administration), religious (owned and operated by a specific religious group), and full-service. Additionally, a graveyard is burial ground adjacent to a church and located on church property. MOSER FUNERAL HOME operates BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. Family lots, single spaces and cremation spaces are all available. Memorials at Bright View are mostly bronze plaques with a vase on a granite base. A new section was opened in 2009 which allows upright granite markers. If you are interested in Bright View Cemetery, please call the office at (540) 347-3431. The office is located at the funeral home. “It is the sunset rather than the sunrise that suits the atmosphere of the cemeteries.” Mehmet Murat Ildan
