‘Parklets’ to return to downtown Warrenton Outside seating begins in early April By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

As warmer weather returns in the coming weeks, downtown Warrenton will once again see the return of parklets outside restaurants and shops on Main Street. But this year, the parklets will come at an extra price, as businesses will be required to pay rent on the public space their parklets utilize. In previous years, the Main Street parklets were funded by the Warrenton Town Council and provided to businesses by the town’s public works department. This year, businesses are responsible for paying for building materials,

as well as paying rent for square footage used. “(Rent is) going to be $1.20 per square foot,” said Casey Ward, owner of Molly’s Irish Pub and chair of the board of directors of Experience Old Town Warrenton. “We are using public space, and we are making money on it.” Not including rent, Ward estimates he will spend $5,000 to rebuild his parklets. On Jan. 10, the Warrenton Town Council unanimously passed a resolution to allow the “Roll out Warrenton” program to become a permanent fixture. See PARKLETS, page 8

Security concerns briefly close bakery after coffee mixup Police called for dustup following accusations from All Lives Matter demonstrator By Colleen LaMay

The Red Truck Rural Bakery, a Warrenton go-to for baked goods and more, was closed Monday morning after a “misunderstanding” over free coffee led to a dustup at the shop and ongoing security concerns. The Warrenton bakery, along with its counterpart in Marshall, was set to reopen with normal hours Tuesday morning. The clash involved an All Lives Matter counterprotester who went to the bakery Saturday, Feb. 25, to ask for free coffee but was denied. The bakery’s owner called that a misunderstanding. Police were called, but no charges were filed, and there is no ongoing investigation. “Regrettably, due to ongoing security threats, we are closing both our re-

The note was signed “Team Red Truck.” Monday’s closure extended to the Red Truck bakery in Marshall. The Warrenton store also was closed Saturday and Sunday, March 4 and 5, because of the Feb. 25 incident.

County budget resurrects new libraries By Shannon Clark

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

The Black Lives Matter Vigil for Action has been holding protests every Saturday morning in Courthouse Square since police killed George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020. The number of protesters has ranged from fewer than a dozen to more than 100.

After more than 16 years of discussion, Fauquier County officials are once again revisiting two new county libraries – one for the Vint Hill area and another to replace the aging Warrenton Central Branch Library on Winchester Street.

Book inspires Liberty High students to help women, girls in South Sudan ‘Project Liberty Well’ aims to raise $15,000 for clean water

By Colleen LaMay

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

South Sudan is nearly 7,000 miles from Bealeton, but seniors in Tiffany Davenport’s English classes at Liberty High School are determined to raise $15,000 by May to build a well there to help provide access to clean drinking water. The seniors are passionate about their cause, and it shows. They already have raised $6,500 through donations, T-shirt sales and more. Their goal is to raise the rest by May, when they graduate. “I wanted to do it because I noticed how fortunate I am every single day,”

About Water for South Sudan The LHS Liberty Well project is part of the fundraising activities of the nonprofit Water for South Sudan. The organization was founded by Salva Dut, who fled civil war in Sudan at age 11 and eventually moved to the United States. He later learned that his father was

said Cody France, 17, a student working on Project Liberty Well. “Whenever I see other people that don’t have anything, I feel bad,” France said. “So, when this came up, I was like, ‘I gotta do it’ because I feel like that’s my part.” After getting approval for the fundraiser from her department chair, buyin from her students and the go-ahead from school administrators, Davenport got the fundraiser off and running with her students in the fall. Other students at LHS, including the Black Student Union, and even students at other schools, like Marshall Middle School, are helping with the effort to pay for a well in South Sudan. still alive in southern Sudan but was suffering from a disease caused by water-borne parasites. That inspired him to start Water for South Sudan Inc., which provides safe drinking water to remote villages. The nonprofit’s annual goals: Drill 40 new wells, rehabilitate 50 older wells and provide hygiene education in each village. Source: Water for South Sudan

Some of the LHS students involved in Project Liberty Well show how close they are to achieving their goal. Senior Virginia Grace Smith was among the students who presented the project to school administrators for approval. That part was hard. “I’ve never really done public speaking,” she said. “It was really scary, but it was nice to be there and talk about something we all worked so hard on. “I’ve never been with a teacher or a class that has been so passionate about something,” Smith said. Davenport’s students formed the nonprofit Project Liberty Well and took on the roles of managers, supervisors, and marketing and social-media specialists. Some are on a liaison team charged with contacting businesses for donations. Students are learning skills they will need long after they graduate, Davenport said.

Tree-clearing at data center site riles residents Town officials say permits are not needed for the work By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

Work began this week at the Blackwell Road site where the Warrenton Town Council approved the new Amazon Web Services data center even though the company has yet to receive any land-clearing or building permits. And that has a group of Warrenton residents who opposed the facility up in arms. Warrenton officials told the residents that permits are not necessary for the work Amazon has done so far, which includes cutting down scores of trees and creating a gravel road next to Country Chevrolet that enters the property from Lee Highway. But the residents are not so sure, citing special conditions that were attached to Amazon’s application to build its data center, as well as state environmental law. For instance, one of the conditions the town council approved Feb. 14 as part of Amazon’s special-use permit application states, “There shall be no access from either U.S. 17 or U.S. 29 (Lee Highway).” “They’re accessing 29, yet their application said they wouldn’t have access to 29 at all; everything would have to come in through Blackwell (Road),” said Warrenton resident Chuck Cross, who took photos at the site.

Dave Gibson, another local resident who worked for years as an environmental consultant, contends that tree-cutting can result in soil erosion and thus requires a soil and erosion permit. Under Virginia law, any man-made changes “including the clearing, grading, excavating, transporting and filling of land” require permitting and inspection, Gibson said in an email. Gibson said he filed a complaint about the tree-cutting with the Warrenton Police Department. Another condition attached to Amazon’s special use permit application is titled, “Tree Save.” It states: “The

applicant shall provide a tree preservation plan at time of site plan that seems to minimize land disturbance and maximize onsite vegetation.” In an email to several residents, acting Town Manager Tommy Cureton confirmed that “a tree preservation plan is required as part of the site plan.” Since neither had been received nor approved by the town, residents asked how tree preservation could be achieved if trees had already been cut down. Cureton suggested in his email that some of the removal was of dead and diseased trees and wrote that remediation could be achieved

with new tree plantings. The issue of tree removal first surfaced when Amazon filed addendums to its permit application on Sept. 9, 2022. Included in the package was a tree survey that identified trees on the property’s 42 acres to be preserved and those to be removed. About 400 trees were marked for removal – some because they were in zones to be cleared and some because they were sick or decayed. Meanwhile, a landscape plan showed some new plantings, including 62 deciduous trees and 43 evergreens. See TREE-CLEARING, page 4

State limits plan to allow data centers to rely on diesel generators Only Loudoun County would be subject to proposed change By Peter Cary

Piedmont Journalism Foundation

After hearing objections and complaints from scores of citizens and environmental watchdogs, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality has modified a proposed change to state rules that would allow data centers to run their generators as needed when the electric grid is strained. The original variance, which was the subject of a public hearing at DEQ headquarters in Woodbridge on Feb. 27, was designed to deal with the potential of “acute stress” on Dominion Energy’s electric grid between March and July 2023. It was written to allow data centers to disconnect from the grid and run on diesel generator power when PJM Interconnect, the grid manager, sends out alerts that the grid is stressed. Without the variance, data centers can only run on generator power in times of power outages or declared emergencies. The original variance proposed relaxing generator limits in Loudoun, Prince William and Fairfax counties. The new proposal shrinks the geographic scope to just Loudoun. That idea was suggested by the Data Center Coalition, a group of Northern Virginia data center owners and operators. The coalition suggested the change in comments

PHOTO BY DOUG STROUD

Opponents of a proposal to allow data centers to run their diesel generators continually in times of stress on the electrical grid gather outside the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s Northern Virginia office in Woodbridge on Feb. 27. to the DEQ because of “Dominion’s assurance that the impact of the transmission constraint is limited to eastern Loudoun County.” The coalition said that such a variance “would allow data centers to continue to serve their customers, maintain the integrity of the internet and alleviate demand on the electric grid during periods of acute stress.” The DEQ received 254 comments on the proposal. Most of them were opposed, citing likely increases in toxic air pollution and ozone if generators run for long periods of time. Support for the variance came from the Virginia, Prince William and Loudoun chambers of commerce. Also supporting the variance were about a dozen Prince William County

residents who want to sell their land in the county’s former “rural crescent” to data center operators to create the Prince William Digital Gateway. Despite the reduced scope of the new proposal – and a table of estimates of hourly pollutant emissions from a single data center diesel generator – environmental and data center opposition groups are still not happy. Chris Miller, president of the Piedmont Environmental Council, said in an email that a public notice of the new variance failed to explain why it was needed. The notice states, “We do not anticipate that any data center will need to use this variance.” He also called the proposal “overly permissive” and questioned its asser-

tions that grid stress alerts are rare, saying that PEC’s analysis shows the alerts had increased substantially in number in the last three years. For instance, he noted that in May 2022, PJM issued 15 grid-stress warnings that totaled more than 140 hours. Miller also faulted the DEQ for not providing more analysis of what might happen if power conditions worsen in Loudoun County. Elena Schlossberg, executive director of the Coalition to Protect Prince William County, which opposes rampant data center expansion, noted that data centers are increasingly stressing the grid. Allowing them “to rely on their dirty diesel generators as a way to resolve this threat is not acceptable,” she wrote in an email. She and others have asked why the data center industry has not proposed alternatives to relieve their electric demand, such as cutting back on their own power use. The proposed variance expires on July 31, though an accompanying notice states: “A transmission constraint issue exists in the area which may affect the ability to provide enough electricity to data centers through 2025.” The comment period for the original variance expired March 14, but comments on the new proposal will be taken through April 21. A public hearing on it is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday, April 6. Reach Peter Cary at news@fauquier.com

Tree-clearing at data center site riles residents TREE-CLEARING, from page 3 But that survey did not consider about eight acres on the site that, at the time, were set aside for an electric substation – the presumption being that Dominion Energy would clear and landscape that portion. Later, Dominion said it would not need to build the substation, and the heavily wooded area reverted to Amazon. But the tree survey was never amended to include the trees in that parcel. The lack of a completed tree survey was cited by the Town of Warrenton Planning Commission as one of the application’s deficiencies when it voted 3-1-1 last December to recommend the application be denied. At the time, Amazon’s application to build a 59-foot-tall, 220,000-square-foot data center at the northern entrance to the town was bitterly opposed by numerous county residents and several nonprofit organizations. A noisy crowd of about 400 residents packed Fauquier High School auditorium Feb. 14, the night the town council voted 4-3 to approve the project. Nearly 130 residents spoke at the meeting; all but two were opposed. Many of those residents are alert to what is happening at the site. When they noticed the tree-cutting at the end of last week, they reached out to town officials. According to an email from Cureton, on Monday,

March 6, a delegation that included Zoning Administrator Heather Jenkins, Planning Manager Denise Harris, a stormwater inspector and a building inspector visited the site. “As the town does not have a site development plan, land disturbance permit or building permit, we had to be permitted on the property by the site manager,” Cureton wrote. In his email, Cureton said they saw workers cutting down trees with chainsaws, but no large equipment and no bare soil or evidence of soil disturbance. Work is expected to continue until March 31. The road to Lee Highway was “pre-existing with no evidence of tracking mud on the road,” he added, a point disputed by residents’ visits and photos. Cureton did not cite any evidence of violations of the law. Neither Harris nor Jenkins responded to requests for comment by press time. Amazon also did not respond to a request for comment. Cross, who has spent years in financial regulations enforcement, said he was skeptical that the activity on the site was permissible. He cited Amazon’s promise not to access Lee Highway, and the idea of proposing a tree preservation plan after hundreds of trees were cut down. “If they are violating the town code and the town is not enforcing it, we’re off to a bad start,” he said.

Crimson Lane Vineyard offers local wines, mountain views By Sondra Anzalone

Special to the Fauquier Times

Opening a winery was a longtime dream for Tom Herrity and his wife, Deanna Fioresi Herrity. Their plan began to firm up in 2014, when they purchased 200 acres in Linden. Tom Herrity, 60, a life-long Virginia resident whose career has included roles as grassroots lobbyist and co-founder of an IT company, says he’s always had a passion for wine. When they were looking for a property for the winery, they “listened to everybody” about the best land conditions and “landed in the sweet spot” with their location because its slope, elevation and south-facing orientation made it the perfect choice for their crops, Tom Herrity said. They planted 10 acres in 2016 and have planted more every year since. “We’re up to 23.6 acres under vine now” and hope to get up to 35, Tom Herrity said. Since the wines are all made from estate-grown grapes, “it’s kind of a painful process,” he said. The vineyard had its first harvest in 2018. Resident winemaker and Tom Herrity’s brother-in-law, Dominick Fioresi, took the grapes to Early Mountain Vineyards in Madison, where he was able to “custom crush” their harvest and yield 70 cases. “It was a horrible year,” Tom Herrity said of 2018, due to weather conditions. The drive was 120 minutes each way, Fioresi said. “It was a labor of love,” Fioresi said. Fioresi now has his own home on Crimson Lane between the winery and vineyard where he can “babysit our wines a lot better,” Tom Herrity said. Fioresi grew up with wine, he said, recalling his grandfather making wine in the basement since he

“was old enough to walk.” Fioresi began his official winemaking career in 2009 as an apprentice of Jim Law at Linden Vineyards and has crafted at various Fauquier wineries for the past 13 years. Since 2018, they have been holding their wines in bond and building an inventory, which they now plan to share with the public. Crimson Lane Vineyard opened its tasting room for the first time on Thursday, March 2. “We want to create a wine community,” Tom Herrity said, where people come to learn the story behind the wine and enjoy the views of the Blue Ridge Mountain landscape, which features a portion of the Appalachian Trail. “My wife calls it magic time, when the sun sets on the mountains,” he added. Crimson Lane’s 10,000-square-foot building was designed by Howard Backen, who’s renowned for his wineries across the United States. Most are in the Napa area of California. Crimson Lane is Backen’s first facility on the East Coast, said Tom Herrity. It was a bit of a challenge to “bring the outside in” to the building, like they do in California wineries, Tom Herrity said, “since we have four robust seasons here.” But they are pleased with the results—despite being somewhat “over budget,” he said. “We did a re-design during the pandemic to spread things out” and give people more space, he said. The winery’s production building, originally planned to accompany the tasting room, was placed elsewhere on the three-parcel, 200-acre estate. A home for the vineyard and crew manager,

Rumaldo Chavez, and six fellow crewmembers also adorns the property. Once the design was complete, a local project architect executed the project, while Deanna Herrity selected the furniture, lighting and other décor. The mother of four used her talents and degree in fine arts to make the space luxurious, Tom Herrity said. Plush, cobalt blue seating, white marble tables and natural elements such as wood and stone were combined to make the space feel inviting, even though it’s “modern leaning,” said Deanna Fioresi Herrity, 53. “I hope it feels like a long hug, the kind you don’t want to end,” she said. The couple has been working so diligently to get the winery open that they neglected to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, Tom Herrity said. Crimson Lane Vineyards is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays. At all other times, “this goes back to being my home,” Tom Herrity said.

County budget resurrects new libraries LIBRARIES, from page 1 During a budget work session Tuesday, Feb. 28, the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors heard about plans to start designing a New Baltimore library during fiscal year 2024, which begins July 1. Meanwhile, the long-awaited replacement facility for the Warrenton library is slated to begin its design phase in fiscal year 2026, according to County Administrator Paul McCulla’s proposed capital improvement program. “Library services are an important service to our community, and the FY 2024 proposed budget in-

cludes a commitment to move forward with a library project in the upcoming year,” said Lisa Henty, director of office and management. The proposed five-year CIP dedicates $110.7 million for several new building projects in Fauquier County. Of that amount, $31.9 million is going toward the completion of the New Baltimore and Warrenton Central Branch libraries. The New Baltimore library is projected to cost $8.7 million, while the Warrenton library is projected to cost $23.2 million, according to county documents. The projected 10,500-square-foot New Baltimore library will be designed to utilize the Vint Hill Dispensary: a self-serve system that allows library patrons to check out library books via a kiosk. The library will also provide “meeting rooms, a small volume col-

Security concerns briefly close bakery after coffee mixup DUSTUP, from page 1 Red Truck owner Brian Noyes began providing free coffee to the BLM protesters in 2021, when he happened to notice them as he walked past. Only a few took him up on the offer. “They were appreciative, and that was the sole extent of my exchange and communication with the group to this day,” Noyes said in a recent post on the Red Truck Bakery’s Facebook page “I don’t remember an All Lives Matter group being there back then, but if they had ever asked me about this, I certainly would have given them the same consideration,” Noyes said on Facebook. Noyes explained in the posts that the bakery had been “unfortunately pulled into the Black Lives Matter vs All Lives Matter debate that has been going on each Saturday up the street, and things got ugly enough inside our store with the ALM group last Saturday (Feb. 25) that our staff understandably was uncomfortable about working this weekend.” The same notice was posted on the front door of the bakery Saturday, March 4. About 30 people were part of the BLM Vigil for Action on Saturday, March 4, with five or six All Lives Matter counterprotesters holding up signs across the street. The event was peaceful. With very few exceptions, the weekly demonstrations have been peaceful since they began. Police

‘Parklets’ to return to downtown Warrenton PARKLETS, from page 1 “The program was passed as a part of the emergency measures to help people get through the pandemic,” said Frank Cassidy, director of community development. “At the same time though, its success has proven that it was effective for some businesses who participate, and it has turned out to be a mostly positive effect for the town, especially on Main Street.” Beginning the first week of April, participating businesses that have been approved for parklets can begin setting up and seating customers outside. Prior to setup, the Town of Warrenton Community Development Department requires interested businesses to complete a parklet ap-

lection and services such as children’s reading hour,” according to county plans for the New Baltimore library. The county has not yet released detailed plans for the Warrenton Central Branch Library. Outside of library projects, Henty explained McCulla’s proposed 2-cent real estate tax increase applies to the fire and rescue levy, which is projected to raise $28.5 million next year, a $4.2 million increase from the current budget. The tax increase would pay for an additional 24 full-time professional firefighters who would work at three volunteer stations in the county. Under the proposed CIP, the Opal water infrastructure project will move to next year rather than fiscal year 2026, as is stipulated in the county’s current year CIP. McCulla also noted during the meeting that his proposed budget

have noted no recent uptick in complaints from business owners or the public.

What happened?

This is what happened Saturday, Feb. 25, according to YouTube video footage, Facebook posts and information from Warrenton Police Chief Tim Carter, who uses the terms “BLM” and “ALM” because the two groups are associated with those acronyms. Someone with the All Lives Matter counterprotest went into the Red Truck Bakery offering to buy coffee for the BLM vigil participants but was told their coffee was already free. Next, Jennifer Blevins Ragle, who has a YouTube channel called the “Singing Patriot,” entered the bakery, which is across the street from Courthouse Square. She is affiliated with the All Lives Matter counterprotesters. Ragle filmed her encounter in the bakery until the staff asked her to leave because filming was not allowed in the store. “I just don’t understand giving free coffee to some people but not others,” Ragle recorded herself telling a young bakery clerk. “That makes your store very political.” Efforts to reach Ragle on Sunday and Monday were unsuccessful. As she turned to go, Ragle had a hard time getting the door open, and a man at the counter, who was part of the BLM vigil, helped her. She thought he was blocking her exit, and she called the police, according to Carter. It is unfortunate that Ragle thought someone was trying to stop her from leaving, Carter said.

McCulla explained that Jeck said the amount of additional funding needed from the county would depend on the final state budget, which remains unfinished. “I had a communication from the school superintendent that based on how the budget shakes out with the state, there may be additional funding, which could potentially lower this cost or their request to the county for local costs in regard to this,” McCulla said.

“That speaks to the tension” of the situation, Carter said. However, security video from the bakery did not back up her claim. “The way she described it did not happen,” Carter said. “This is clearly seen on video.” The bakery could have pressed trespassing charges against Ragle but did not, Carter said. Noyes, who could not be reached for comment, said on Facebook that if he had been at the Warrenton store that Saturday, he would gladly have offered free coffee to Ragle, “but our staff was not sure how to respond, understandably, and didn’t offer up free coffee.” Carter said a member of the All Lives Matter group told police her goal was to stop the weekly vigils, and she wanted the police to help, Carter said. That won’t happen, he said. “We want to protect freedom of speech for everyone,” Carter said. “Both groups need to be able to speak freely and assemble.” Meanwhile, the video Ragle posted on YouTube said the bakery would not provide free coffee to ALM counterprotesters. The entire incident is unfortunate, Carter said. It made the vigils a little more tense, for now, for the BLM vigil participants, and it left the ALM group with the impression that they were not being supported, he said. “I am not trying to support one side or the other, but the facts sometimes can provide the best communication and calm things down,” Carter said.

placement. Ward said that while parklets must comply with the town’s safety, accessibility and paint requirements, individual parklet design is up to the business. “Molly’s is trying to work with other businesses to say, ‘It’s not going to look great if everybody does something really different (with their design),” Ward said. “We are trying to come up with a cohesive plan on our own.” For restaurants like Denim & Pearls, sales skyrocket when parklets return. Jennifer Robinson, co-owner of Denim & Pearls and director on the EOTW’s Board of Directors, said parklets help bring in new customers. “Just based on conversations that we have with our guests, we do have a lot of guests that come from outside of Warrenton and the county,” Robinson said. “We look forward to it coming back every year.”

While parking concerns related to the parklets still exist, Ward noted that even with the parklets taking up space, people find alternative places to park. “Even when we had parklets down our whole block, I think they only took six spaces total,” Ward said. “So, I don’t think that moves the needle on anybody’s ability to park. We have so many people coming into town because of (the parklets). If you give people a reason to come, they figure out parking.” In addition to the parklets, First Friday and Music on Main will return beginning in May and will run until October. Each Friday will feature a theme, such as the Spring Explosion on May 5 and Dog Dazy on Sept. 9. Food trucks, Fauquier vendors, activities for kids and more will be available every Friday.

Book inspires Liberty High students to help women, girls in South Sudan LIBERTY, from page 2 The other child is Salva Dut, who went on to found the humanitarian nonprofit aimed at helping an estimated 5 million people in South Sudan who live without daily access to safe water and sanitation services. After reading the book, students dug into the background of Sudan, the lack of access to clean water and how girls there are often unable to go to school because they must shoulder the responsibility of getting water, no matter how dirty or how far away, for their families. Something clicked for the students. Davenport keeps water bottles in her

room for students, which gives her a chance to talk about the differences between her students’ lives and those of young people in South Sudan. The LHS students have clean water just steps away, but for many in South Sudan, the closest water isn’t close, and it isn’t clean. It is full of animal waste, and it’s warm and dirty. “I think it’s been eye-opening to them to see that people don’t have it that easy in other places,” Davenport said. “I became very passionate about the project because I know a few people that grew up with nothing, no water, no food on the table, and when I saw this project, it brought back those memories, and I just wanted to

help the best that I could,” said Brad White, whose role was speaker for the project. He graduated in December but worked on the project when it began during the fall semester. “I was put in charge of making sure everyone was doing their tasks, then me and three others were tasked with presenting the project (to LHS administrators). I’m very proud with what we’ve accomplished.” Keller Besso, who also graduated in December but still remembers his time on the project fondly, said, “I hope this fundraiser thrives long after we all graduate.” Reach Colleen LaMay at clamay@ fauquier.com

Fauquier Community Theatre presents ‘Our Town’ by Amanda Gibson

Special to the Fauquier Times

Fauquier Community Theatre will present Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-Prize-winning play “Our Town” at the Fauquier Community Theatre, 4225 Aiken Drive, Warrenton. Opening night is Friday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m., complete with a reception of light refreshments after the show and a chance to visit with the actors. The show continues Fridays and weekends through Sunday, March 26. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. “Our Town” is directed by Sonia Bronder and produced by Stub Estey. Bronder, of Bristow, has been a part of Fauquier Community Theatre for many years in multiple roles. In this production, she brought together a talented cast of 25 new and veteran actors who bring the small town to life. First performed in 1938, with five Broadway revivals, “Our Town” has remained popular over the years because of its simple story about everyday people. The audience first meets the characters of Grover’s Corners in 1901 and follows their lives through 1913. Revealed are the town gossips and those always “in a peck of trouble.” Audience members will witness young love develop and grow, see challenges faced and feel the sorrows the community endures together. In his seventh production at FCT, Stub Estey, of Haymarket, plays the role of the stage manager, a role made famous by Paul Newman on Broadway in 2002. Gainesville resident Jiles Burnham returns to the FCT stage in the lead role of George Gibbs opposite actress Angelina LookingGlass, who portrays Emily Webb.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM

Fauquier Times | March 8, 2023

In the words of Robert Duvall, Fauquier must ensure Va. remains the ‘last station before heaven’ The residents of Warrenton and Fauquier County are understandably enraged at the treatment they received from members of the town council who approved the special use permit for the Amazon new data center. They could not have made clearer their opposition to an industrial development at the gateway of their beautiful and historic town, the harmful noise associated with the massive cooling systems, and the precedent the council set to invite more of these gargantuan facilities. During the Feb. 14 public hearing, land preservation legends and a Hollywood celebrity – Robert Duvall – were joined by more than 130 others who spoke to cheers of support from those trying to save the town from the industrial blight

sweeping across Loudoun and Prince William counties. Yet, the ensuing discussion revealed how the newly elected council members “got it” and were in tune with public sentiment, while those who supported the project were not simply tone deaf but obtusely insensitive. Councilmembers Heather Sutphin and James Hartman bypassed the pertinent issues and launched into a whining trail of retorts, many of which were reported in the Fauquier Times (“Warrenton council members endured weeks of abuse from data center opponents”) in a piece that painted town councilmembers as victims rather than officials obligated to represent the public. Their laughable contention that some quiet, camera-shy majority supports

this data center strains all credulity. Earth to Sutphin and Hartman: If the auditorium at the local high school fills with citizens in agreement, that IS the town majority speaking. But the truly breathtaking statements came from Councilmembers Brett Hamby and Jay Heroux who claimed they drove to “every data center in Prince William County” and didn’t hear the noise they emit. That is simply not possible. Either they didn’t drive by fully operational facilities, or they failed to get out of their cars and listen to what is known to be 24/7 industrial noise coming from 500-ton, roof-mounted cooling towers. Experiencing this problem is not like visiting a roadside tourist attraction. It involves living with

the misery of noise thrumming the walls of your bedroom and barraging your backyard with continuous buzzing while your family attempts to enjoy an afternoon barbeque. No one needs to look further than Amazon’s effort to correct the noise problem at its data center campus near the Great Oak subdivision outside Manassas. If the noise weren’t a genuine misery for nearby residents, why would Amazon spend millions to attempt a fix? And isn’t this the company Warrenton granted a special use permit for the same type of facility? KATHRYN KULICK vice chair, HOA Roundtable of Northern Virginia Gainesville

Why would Va.’s environmental regulator allow data centers to rely on their dirty diesel generators? Good question. DEQ’s website states its mission “is to protect and enhance the environment of Virginia in order to promote the health and well-being of the Commonwealth’s citizens, residents and visitors in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.” Many local residents question how DEQ’s mission squares with the accommodation it is proposing to permit a single wealthy industry to hazard our health and well-being. My skepticism about DEQ’s blind eye toward data center growth goes back some time. On Nov. 21, 2021, I asked regional director Tom Faha whether he intended to respond to a requested review of the Prince William Digital Gateway proposal. Despite the unprecedented magnitude of this project, Mr. Faha replied: “Such proposals are considered local zoning matters and outside of the agency’s regulatory purview.” In my follow-up e-mail to Mr. Faha, I stated: “While I understand that DEQ does not have direct jurisdiction over zoning matters in Prince William County, you are the state’s environmental experts, and I expect that DEQ will at least

render an opinion on the environmental risks and impacts of a project of this scope in order to protect the state’s equities and its citizens’ safety.” On Dec. 16, 2021, after DEQ neglected to submit a review, I wrote Mr. Faha again, lamenting that DEQ’s reluctance to engage until after the fact “is like saying this poison might kill you, but I won’t know for sure until I conduct the autopsy after you’re dead.” On March 31, 2022, I wrote DEQ Director Mike Rolband imploring DEQ to engage in the review of the Prince William Digital Gateway after Fairfax County’s concerns made it an inter-county issue. His reply stated: “It is premature for DEQ to offer opinions in advance of necessary permit applications.” DEQ’s ineffectual method of weighing in only after the horse has left the barn constitutes gross negligence that violates its mission and jeopardizes Virginia’s citizens. Now DEQ is proposing a variance from air quality standards to permit data centers to operate their diesel generators continuously during peri-

Remembering Rich Galecki I was very sorry to see Rich Galecki’s obituary in this week’s paper. He was a lovely man who made many and various contributions to our country and our county. Our 1987 race for the Scott District seat on the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors was a genuine competition, but it was not marred by the rancor that has become all too common in political life. Rich was a gent. Each of us wanted to win, but we focused on

our own reasons for running, what we thought we might bring to the job, the challenges facing Fauquier and how we might best serve our community. Throughout that race I was certain that if Rich won, he would serve our community honorably and well. He showed me the same respect. He set an example others would do well to follow, and he will be missed. GEORGIA HERBERT The Plains

ods of peak electrical usage. The crisis in electrical grid strain we are facing was not unforeseen, and the current data center capacity causing this crisis is a mere fraction of what Prince William County has already approved, but not yet built out. Vulnerabilities created by this government-industry collusion are far more threatening than any stray Chinese balloons. We worry about foreign hackers taking down our electrical grid and here we are doing it to ourselves. At what point will some local, state or federal agency step up and acknowledge what any child can see? The data center industry is way out over its skis and requires more responsible regulation. Instead of foisting their problem on the public, why is there not a plan for data centers to reduce their electrical load though selective service reductions? If we know this industry is the source of the problem, the onus should be on them to be part of the solution. BILL WRIGHT Gainesville

‘BASKETBALL GODS’ HELP HAWKS WIN STATE TITLE Rivera’s 3-pointer sends Highland past Miller 42-40 for first boys hoops crown By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

One minute remaining. Highland up by two. VISAA Division II championship on the line. You couldn’t script a better ending, but could the Hawks hold on? Leading Miller School, 42-40, on a clutch 3-pointer by junior guard Julian Rivera, Highland needed one stop to win their first boys basketball state title. It wouldn’t come easy as Miller missed eight close shots and a desperation 3-pointer in the last minute as Highland held on in Petersburg on Saturday. “The basketball Gods helped us out. One of those could have rolled right in and you’re looking at an overtime game potentially,” Highland coach Logan Miller said. “As a coach you’re standing there hoping and praying someone comes up with a loose ball.” A replay of the YouTube broadcast showed Miller missed eight shots at point blank range, part of a crazy, unforgettable series that saw Highland defenders scrambling to prevent easy putbacks, but also struggling to get a defensive rebound. “That buzzer sounds, and you look up and it’s 42-40 and its like ‘Oh man, we did it,’” Miller said. “It still hasn’t fully sunk in. We just went 30-3 and won in my first year as a head coach.” The frenetic homestretch began when Miller’s Jackson Rose drove to the hoop from the left wing for miss No. 1 as teammate Eli Delaurier rebounded and put up miss No. 2.

Highland survived a thrilling final minute to win their first boys basketball state title last Saturday in Petersburg. Four more Miller rebounds resulted in five more misses before Highland knocked the ball out of bounds with 30 seconds left. After inbounding, Miller’s Jordan Horne missed on a drive, but Miller grabbed another offensive board. Taking two more shots at the rim, the Mavericks missed both before knocking the ball out of bounds to the Hawks. With 2.4 seconds left, Highland senior Cam Cole missed a free

throw, giving the Mavericks one more chance. Will Bonde grabbed the rebound, passed to Jaylen Dyer, who launched a three-quarter court heave. As the buzzer rang, it hit the back of the rim and bounced away. “It was so surreal. I couldn’t believe it, I just was in shock. It was a special moment,” Miller said. Highland has won state championships in boys soccer, boys lacrosse, baseball, girls soccer and

girls lacrosse, but never previously in boys basketball. The Hawks had been reaching the state semis, or final, and losing. In 2020 and 2021, Norfolk Collegiate eliminated Highland in the semifinals. In 2022, Highland its first final; they overcame a 12-point third quarter deficit to down Miller in the semis, then fell to Blue Ridge 67-50 in the title game. See HIGHLAND, page 19

SCOTT WINS TWO MORE TRACK TITLES, SHAW WINS HIGH JUMP By Peter Brewington

The Falcon boys were 10th, scoring 21 points. Liberty was 21st with eight points. “I’m very happy,” said Fauquier coach Quentin Jones, whose boys and girls both were region champions two weeks ago. “I was hoping for Top 10 for both. The boys tied for 10th and girls tied for fifth.”

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Fauquier High junior Cassidy Scott solidified her status as arguably Class 4’s best girls distance runner by winning two more state titles at last week’s Class 4 indoor track meet at Liberty University. Scott won the 1,000 in 2:55.98, which was well ahead of runner-up Madeline Montgomery of Monacan, who clocked 3:00.29. Scott also won the 1,600 in 4:52.76, nipping Alli Crytser of Hanover, who was a tight second in 4:52.95. Falcon junior Wyatt Shaw had a huge breakthrough in capturing the boys long jump, and Falcon senior Evie Goetz was second in the long jump as the Falcons enjoyed a productive day. Fauquier’s girls tied Kings Fork for fifth place, scoring 41 points, trailing champion Western Albemarle (73), Blacksburg (69), Heritage Newport News (66) and Hanover (44). The Kettle Run girls took ninth with 23 points.

Scott adds to legacy

PHOTO BY MARISSA MARTIN

Fauquier junior Wyatt Shaw won the state indoor title in the long jump at 6-foot-4.

Scott, who won the 1,600 and 1,000 outdoors in 2022 as a sophomore, added two more titles to her trophy case. “She’s a tough girl. Going backto-back in the 1,600 and 1,000 is not easy to do and she dominated in the 1,000,” Jones said. The 1,600 was a battle with Hanover’s Crytser as Scott prevailed by two tenths of a second. “That Hanover girl stayed on her the whole way,” said Jones. “That girl tried to pass and Cassidy had the strength to hold her off.” Jones noted Cassidy’s father Mark, an FHS assistant coach, was similarly pleased with his daughter’s twin wins.

“Coach Scott says you’ve got to learn how to race. Cassidy has more race experience now and it’s showing,” Jones said. “Her confidence is growing. Her name is now known in Virginia.” Scott rolled in the 1,000 in 2:55.98, winning by over four seconds. Teammate Kiki Wine was fourth in 3:03.19, which was helpful for Fauquier in points. “Kiki stayed with Cassidy, and they worked as a team. I feel Cassidy brought her around for the PR (personal record). Kiki had one hack of a race,” Jones said.

High jump title goes to Shaw

Wyatt Shaw went 6-foot-4 inches to become the first FHS boys high jump champion in the 24 years that Jones has coached. Shaw’s high jump title was a pleasant surprise. “Maybe he was in the top four, but was not predicted to win,” Jones said. “Wyatt had a good day, he did an outstanding job,” said See TRACK, page 19

LIBERTY BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Up-and-coming Eagles have high hopes

By Peter Brewington

Fauquier Times Staff Writer

Liberty boys lacrosse has been on the upswing the last two years and looks primed to be a region contender this season.

“We have a good mix of experienced players and young talent. We’re carrying 23 on our varsity roster,” said coach Mike Gesioto. The Eagles are coming off two straight solid years of 9-5 in 2022 and 8-4 in 2021, Liberty was region runnerup to Fauquier in 2021 and fell to the Falcons in the region second round last year. Liberty has 10 returning varsity players led by its three senior captains: Nick Ciampaglione, Owen Rogers and Corbin Barb. The Eagles remain strong in goal behind Ciampaglione, who was a second-team all-region selection as a

Senior midfielder Corbin Barb is a tri-captain and one of the Eagles’ top weapons. sophomore in 2021. He was pressed into varsity duty that year when starter Brennan Lasher broke his thumb. Ciampaglione played behind Lasher last year as Lasher went on to

earn second team all-state honors at goalie as a senior. Now it’s Ciampaglione’s time again. “Nick has a ton of big game experience and will command our defense this year,” Gesioto said. Liberty has a cluster of offensive weapons, including senior midfielders Corbin Barb, Taylor Schaeffer and Owen Rodgers, who has committed to play to St. Vincent College (Pa.). “They will anchor our midfield and all three are able to play both ways so that is a plus,” Gesioto said. “Our attack is seasoned and led by Mason Turner and John Russell,” Gesioto said. “Offensively we have five to seven players that have the ability to initiate offense and score, their lacrosse IQ is high which allows us to play fast and loose.

“Defensively we are young, however in my opinion that’s a huge positive, they are fundamentally sound with an emphasis on transition spurred by our returning long stick midfielders Austin Keller and Eddie Rodman.” The Eagles recently participated in a three-team jamboree with Class 6 programs Osbourn and Park View. “We gave up a goal between the two games and scored a bunch. We looked good and expect to build each day. I’m looking forward to our season opener at home vs. Lightridge on March 14,” Logan said. Gesioto said team goals are “to play fast, have fun and represent our school and the community in a positive way,” but hinted a strong playoff run would be welcome after strong region showings the last two years. “Our team is beginning to gel and find their grove,” he said.

FAUQUIER BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW

Two-time region champion Falcons have a target on their backs By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

The Fauquier boys lacrosse program reached new heights the last two years, winning two straight Class 4 Region B titles and making strong runs into the state tournament. Fifth-year coach J.B. Tippett hopes this season is just as dominant. But he sees some tough teams taking aim at his new dynasty. “There are a number of great teams in our district, Kettle Run, Brentsville and Meridian to name a few, that are hungry and looking to knock us off as Region 4B champions. I see this as the most competitive spring of lacrosse in Region 4B history,” Tippett said. The Falcons’ new look lineup starts with the man in the net, junior

goalie Reece Theoret. He’ll be protected by senior Brendon O’Hara, a key cog in the defensive unit last year, as well as senior Griffin Barrett and juniors Chase Leazer, Riley Beahm and Hudson Crites. Like the defense, the midfield unit looks a lot different than last year’s dynamic group. Senior Grady Panagos and junior Kobe Link were important contributors in 2022, and they’ll have a major role in filling the void left from last season’s departures. Junior Talen Ritenour and sophomores Christian Friedl and Austin Capparelli will receive an increased role too. As for the attack, experienced junior Billy Brooks is joined by juniors Brandon Frear, Joey Renzi and sophomore Same Roteman.

Junior Kobe Link is one of several key Falcon returnees. Coach J.B. Tippett’s high-flying program tries to make the state tournament for the fourth time since 2019.

Despite all the new faces, Tippett is confident that this year’s squad is up to the task of carrying on the winning culture that Fauquier has built.

“Our roster consists of many great ball players on both sides of the ball,” he said. “We are very excited about the team we have put together this season.” Fauquier’s hot run started in 2019 when the Falcons went 10-6 and made the Class 4 state tournament. In 2020, they started 2-0 before the pandemic shut down all spring sports. The pandemic-shortened 2021 season was the breakthrough year, featuring a 10-2 mark, a region title win and loss in the state semifinals. In 2022, Fauquier had its finest season, going 18-1. Their only loss came in the state quarterfinals in a heartbreaking 16-15 overtime loss to Dominion. The opening game is March 13 at home against Gainesville. “I believe we will have another very successful season,” Tippett said.

KETTLE RUN BOYS LACROSSE PREVIEW

After rare down year, Cougars expect to challenge for region supremacy By Matthew Proctor

Special to the Fauquier Times

Kettle Run has always been a local boys lacrosse power but slipped to an uncharacteristic 3-10 last year. Third-year coach Bryan Logan says youth was a factor, and the Cougars are reloaded and ready to roar. “We’re bringing back so much whereas other teams lost a lot this past season,” said Logan. “We were super young last year and now they all have another year under their belt which is huge.” The offense is led by three returning starting attackers. Twins Jake and Matt Green and Bryce McAnany, all seniors, look to build off their strong showings. Each had at least 40 combined goals and assists. The Green twins are both speedy, aggressive and hungry to score, while McAnany runs the show.

PHOTO BY COY FERRELL

Senior attacker Bryce McAnany is Kettle Run’s “quarterback,” according to coach Bryan Logan.

“Bryce is kind of the quarterback of our offense,” Logan said. Kettle Run’s midfield excites Logan for its depth and versatility. The group has speed in Scotty Barone

and Ryan Sample and size in Morgan Robey, Mason Hodges and Tyler Diagle. Charlie Crosland and Noah Stubbs are tough defensively. “We can score from midfield, we can score from attack, we can score in transition. And that’s what’s exciting. We’re going to be able to do a lot of different things this year and keep teams off balance,” Logan said. The defense is led by a pair of seniors, Jack Boyle and Collin Malloy, who are both switching positions from midfield. Boyle is long, athletic and agile and is great at collecting ground balls. Malloy is also described as quick and athletic, but also very physical. As for the goalies, Logan believes the Cougars have two studs in junior Luke Moriarty and senior Zohayb Awatramani. “I really think we have the two best goalies in the area. We’re very, very lucky.”

Moriarty has started the past two seasons and has quick reflexes and a great clear, while Awatramani is more aggressive. Kettle Run’s sub-.500 season in 2022 was an anomaly. The Cougars won the region title in 2019, then went 7-3 in 2021, the year after the pandemic wiped out 2020. Logan has confidence the team will be much improved. “Our goal is to get through the season, get that 1 seed, play some home playoff games. Then win the region. Then win some games in the state tournament,” he said. Kettle Run debuts March 13 at home against Brentsville. “It’s not going to be a cake walk, but I think we’re going to be one of the top teams in our region this year,” the coach said. “If our guys lock in and play like they can, it’s going to be really, really hard to beat us,” he said.

SPORTS 19

Fauquier Times | www.fauquier.com | March 8, 2023

HIGHLAND, from page 17 This year they came in as the No. 1 seed for the first time. After a firstround bye, Highland defeated Atlantic Shores Christian 72-36 in the quarterfinals and Steward School 47-41 in the semis. No. 3-seeded Miller beat Highland earlier this year, 61-53, on Dec. 10 in Charlottesville, so coach Miller knew it would be a dogfight. “We told our guys the game was going to be less about X’s and O’s and more just about toughness,” Miller said. “It was going to come down to 50-50 balls, rebounding, getting stops, and just overall toughness plays throughout the game.” The Mavericks spurted to an 8-0 lead, but Highland closed the quarter well by sinking three 3-pointers to close the deficit to 15-9. Highland forged back for a 25-25 tie on senior D.J. Johnson’s old-fashioned three-point play, two jumpers from Cole, including a 3-pointer, then another three points from Johnson. Referencing their 60-58 win over Bishop Ireton on Dec. 12 where they were down by nine with three minutes to go, Miller knew the Hawks were going to fight to the end. “The identity of this group from the beginning has been resilience,” Miller said. “There was never a TRACK, from page 17 Jones, who said Shaw had no misses at 6-4 and did not miss until he attempted 6-6. He noted Shaw does not look like a high jumper but is a superb athlete. “Wyatt is 5-8, he’s shorter than me. He’s not a tall dude.”

Goetz takes second in long jump

Falcon long jumper Evie Goetz came through with a silver medal by going 17 feet, 8 inches on her last jump to soar up the charts, passing numerous others. “She was sitting fifth, it was awesome,” said Jones, who credited Falcon assistant coach Sam Orvick with an assist. “Sam-O corrected something with her. Evie kept her focus and hit the last one. I was beside everyone for her last jump and Sam said, That’s a good one, that’s a good one.’ And sure enough, it was a PR by four inches. “She got the first eight points of the day for us. That was huge.” Champion Anijah James of King George won by going 18-3.

Other results

Falcon junior Stephanie Clark was fourth in the shot put with a throw of 32 feet, 11.5 inches. Senior Madison Bayliff of Fauquier was 12th, throwing 28-8. Kettle Run senior Ashley Nickerson was third in the pole vault, clearing 10 feet, six inches. Falcon senior Peter Paccassi was fifth in the 1,600 in 4:22.33 and 15th in the 3,200 in 9:51.33.

moment during the game where we were panicking.” Rivera’s layup gave Highland their first lead of the game halfway through the third at 29-27. It seemed Highland’s harassing defense and 3-point accuracy would lead to a title as Chance Perkins’ 3-pointer from the top of the key and Jeremiah Gorham’s three-point play produced a 37-32 Highland lead. Johnson’s fadeway pushed the lead to 39-32. “I think it really came down to limiting them to one shot. We did a better job on the glass in the third quarter,” Miller said. But Miller was not done, scoring six straight points to close to 39-38. On what would become the game winning basket, Cole took the inbounds pass on the left wing and swung it to Rivera in the corner. Rivera swished the three with two minutes to go for an historic basket that ultimately won it for the Hawks. “Credit to Julian Rivera,” Miller said. “Against Stewart (in the semifinals) down 40-38 he bangs a three, then here in the championship game hits big corner three to give us a little bit of a cushion.” Johnson led the Hawks with 12 points while Cole had 10. Perkins hit three 3-pointers to finish with nine, Rivera scored eight, and Gorham three. Liberty senior Maya Turner was 14th in the 300 in 43.45, with Fauquier sophomore Brooklyn Bartholomew 16th In 44:17. Kettle Run and Liberty were 15th and 16th respectively in the 4 x 200 relay in 1:50.53 and 1:51.03. Kettle Run’s girls were fifth in the 4 x 400 relay in 4:10.57. Fauquier’s girls were sixth in the 4 x 800 relay in 9:55.50. Kettle Run freshman Suzanna Mancini was sixth in the 500 in 1:19.86, with Liberty’s Maya Turner 12th in 1:23.71. Falcon junior Dylan Damer was seventh in the pole vault, clearing 12 feet, six inches. Fauquier’s Josh Burke was 12th at 11-feet. FHS senior Jackson Geddis-Blount was 11th in the shot put at 43 feet, three inches, with Falcon sophomore Aaron Lewis 13th at 41-8.5. Kettle Run sophomore Owen Mullins was 31th in the 3,200 in 10:95.64. Fauquier was 10th in the 4 x 200 relay in 1:33.31. The Falcons were sixth in the 4 x 800 relay in 8:09.22 with Kettle Run 12th in 8:20.40. The Falcons were seventh in the 4 x 400 relay in 3:31.69 with Liberty 11th in 3:34.30. Liberty’s Ryan Wilson-McCoy was eighth in the long jump with a distance of 20-6.5. Liberty junior Aiden Neidich was eighth in the 500 in 1:07.64 with teammate Cole Hoffman, also a junior, taking 13th in 1:09.10. David Mayfield was 13th in the 300 in 37.16

Fletched repeats Rappahannock score to open the Virginia circuit Scully, Kelly notch twin wins at March 4 season kickoff By Betsy Burke Parker

Special to the FauquierTimes

The stars were out at The Hill as the Rappahannock Hunt kicked off Virginia’s spring steeplechase circuit Saturday, March 4. The Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point attracted last year’s national champion rider, two former jockey titlists now training and two active Virginia and Maryland champions for a full afternoon of racing at the course near Culpeper. It was a great start to the season, said Larry Levy, owner of The Hill who developed and designed the venue two years ago. “I can’t say enough positive about the horsemen that supported us,” said Levy, himself a former amateur owner-rider, adding that he was pleased with the turnout, both in terms of entries and by counting fans crowding the hillside homestretch viewing area. “And of course, the pony races made it great. Start to finish, it was a winner.” Maryland-based trainer Forrest Kelly saddled two and won two, winning the open timber with Black and Blue Stable’s Fletched (Elizabeth Scully up). Fletched led wire-to-wire to repeat his 2022 Rappahannock win. It was the first of two scores on the day for Scully, champion lady rider on the Virginia and Maryland point-to-point circuits last year. Kelly’s Barrister (Colin Smith up) opened his timber account, winning the maiden with a late rally in the long homestretch. It was the first start over timber for the Maryland-bred son of Bodemeister. Kelly is president of the Steeplechase Jockeys Association of America and a representative of the Steeplechase

Daniel Denefrio’s Fightinirishtabit, a two-time winner over hurdles in 2022, won the open turf race under Scully for trainer Ricky Hendriks. Hendriks was the 1986 and ’87 National Steeplechase Association champion rider before he began training in 1991. Ahnaf was second with 2020 NSA champ Gerard Galligan aboard Shootin The Breeze, third with 2022 titlist Parker Hendriks aboard.

VIRGINIA DESIGNATES OFFICIAL ‘STATE PONY’ A pony has been the Chincoteague High School mascot for years, but now it is headed for a bigger arena as the official state pony. Two Accomack lawmakers introduced bills to designate the Chincoteague pony as the state pony. It was approved last week, making Virginia the 18th state in the nation to

have an equine as a state symbol. The recognition for these horses is long overdue, according to John Arthur Leonard, mayor of Chincoteague. The wild ponies have been part of the region’s history “as long as the state has been settled,” the mayor said, “so they deserve it.” The popular children’s book, based on a true story, “Misty of Chincoteague,” was written in 1947 by Marguerite Henry. An annual pony swim is held on the last Wednesday of July. It’s a way to control the herd and part of a week-long event attracting more than 50,000 each year. Some of the ponies are auctioned off after the swim. The benefit raised over $400,000 last year for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company that manages the herd. The money helps fund the fire department and year-round care for the herd that lives the rest of the time on Assateague.

October 25, 1951 – February 25, 2023 Lloyd William Hofer, Jr., age 71, formally of Warrenton (Opal), VA, passed peacefully on Saturday, February 25, 2023, at Heron Pointe Health and Rehabilitation in Brookside, FL. He was born on October 25, 1951, in Washington, DC, son of the late Lloyd and Delma Hofer. Lloyd lived a life defined by service to others and will be remembered by those who knew him for his strong devotion to family and sense of humor. Lloyd was a 1970 graduate of Fauquier High School. He graduated from Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, playing in the fabled Highty Tighties marching band. Following graduation, he took a United States Air Force commission. One of Lloyd’s most harrowing missions while on active duty involved transporting 914 lost souls of the 1978 Jonestown massacre. He served as the navigator on a C130 aircraft in Guyana, where his crew transported the bodies to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Lloyd was a resident of Florida for many years. He found himself drawn to the financial field; while attending the University of Central Florida, he was a Graduate Assistant. After graduating with an MBA, he embarked on a career in financial planning. In addition to his work, Lloyd was a tireless caregiver to his mother and spent his time with her until her passing. Lloyd is survived by two sisters, Joyce and her husband, Ross D’Urso of Warrenton (Opal), VA, and Diane Preston of Aiken, SC., three nieces, Lauren D’Urso of Henrico, VA, Jennifer (Preston) Dill and Jordan of Honolulu, HI., and Kristin (Preston) Faircloth of Aiken, SC. as well as three grand nieces and two grand nephews. In addition to his parents, Lloyd was preceded in death by his stepbrother Ennis L. Hofer of Liberty, Indiana.

Janie Lee Black Hines Janie Lee Black Hines, age 101, of Nokesville, VA, entered her eternal home in heaven on February 26, 2023. Born on March 9, 1921 in Statesville, NC, to Lee A. and Janie S. Black, Janie Lee was preceded in death by her loving husband, James B. (Hum) Hines; two children, Virginia White of Gainesville, FL, and James D. Hines of Manassas; and a brother, L.A. Black Jr., of Statesville, NC. She is survived by her son, Thomas, and his wife, Gayle, of Nokesville, VA; daughter-in-law Judy, of Somerville, SC; ten grandchildren; thirteen great-grandchildren; and six great great-grandchildren. After high school in Statesville, NC, Janie moved to Washington, D.C., working as a bookkeeper at Western-Union during WWII. Walking home from work one afternoon in D.C., she happened to see a familiar handsome face from Statesville and a few years later, in 1944, she and Hum were married. In 1969, after many years as a wife and stay-at-home mom in Alexandria and then Springfield, her husband of 25 years passed suddenly leaving Janie to raise their 15 yr. old son alone. Though brokenhearted, Janie reentered the work force as a payroll/bookkeeper at Sears Roebuck at Landmark shopping center until retirement in 1993, and became a strong, independent lady. Never very vocal about her faith, one would nonetheless often find her in later years reading her Bible or pouring over the Westminster Confession of Faith she had been given as a youth. Janie enjoyed walking the mall and chatting with friends at Chick-fil-A, needlework, word puzzles, playing cards, and spending time with her family. A memorial service was held at Pierce Funeral Home on 9609 Center St. Manassas, VA, Monday, March 6, at 10:00am, followed by interment at Mt. Comfort Cemetery on 6600 S. Kings Hwy., Alexandria, VA at 11:30. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent in her name to: Heartland Hospice, 493 Blackwell Rd. Suite 319, Warrenton, VA 20186

Cemeteries provide many services before and during a burial and are also responsible for maintaining the cemetery grounds. However, the family of the departed must provide any ongoing maintenance for their loved one’s gravesite. Many cemeteries allow adornment and decoration of a gravesite, including planting live plants on or around a grave. Some cemeteries have planting restrictions, so check with the cemetery first. If you are available for regular visits to the gravesite, you can choose annual plants or higher maintenance plants that you will care for. Low-maintenance perennials are a better choice for gravesites that can’t be maintained as often. Consider your area’s seasonal or annual rainfall and choose drought-tolerant plants that don’t require a lot of watering. MOSER FUNERAL HOME also manages Bright View Cemetery. This beautiful cemetery offers burial sites for individuals or family lots. A new columbarium has been built for those families who may wish to entomb their loved one’s cremated remains in a niche. Markers for memorial gravesites or niches are made of bronze applied to granite for permanence and beauty. A new section featuring upright markers is also now available. If you are interested in Bright View Cemetery, please call (540) 347-3431. Our office is located at the funeral home. “Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow.” Robert Louis Stevenson

Alan A. Huot Alan A. Huot, passed away peacefully at home on March 1, 2023 after a courageous & fierce battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born October 31, 1955 in Manchester, CT. Alan was a real people person, who was greatly loved by his family and many friends, old and new, close and around the world. His quick wit, playful spirit, willingness to help others and bright smile drew people to him. Alan graduated from Bryant College (University) with a degree in Business and Law Enforcement. Professionally, Alan had varied careers and he excelled in them all. After college, he became a special welder, assembling jet engines for Pratt & Whitney. In 1982, he joined Aetna where he entered their Management Training program. He worked at Aetna for 20+ years advancing to the position of Director, Call Center Management & Telecommunications Alan was also a pioneer in the animal control industry. He held many association positions and was a frequent speaker at industry conventions, trade shows and training sessions. After an early retirement from Aetna, with his extensive business background and industry knowledge, he grew his love of the outdoors and his experience with wildlife into a well-respected and successful industry-leading company, Wildlife Control Supplies, LLC (aka WCS). In the late 1990’s, the emerging animal damage control & wildlife management industry and the birth of e-commerce came together. WCS was a first to offer expertise, knowledge, and products to professionals entering this new industry. It was the first business in this industry to have an on-line store, supporting professionals not only in the U.S., but also internationally. The company sold in 2018, but Alan continued as a consultant sharing his knowledge and expertise, helping it continue to grow and thrive. Alan was always learning something new and had a variety of interests. An eclectic hobbyist, over the years he was involved with bottle hunting, coin collecting, leather working, scuba diving, beekeeping, gardening, metal detecting, trapping and boating in his Mokai. An avid reader, he had knowledge in a wide variety of topics. He loved to travel and see new places from across the U.S. to the Caribbean, Asia and Europe. Travel highlights were a rim-to-rim backpack journey through the Grand Canyon with his wife Carol, trips to Spain to speak at conferences and a trip to Asia while working with Aetna. A constant and loving companion was his chocolate lab Maggie, who passed in 2020. They were rarely apart and spent time walking the rail trail, riding shotgun in Alan’s truck and swimming during the summer. In 2021, Alan and Carol relocated to VA to be close to family, especially his two grandchildren who were the lights of his life. When at home, by the pool or at the beach, time with Papa was always lots of fun! Alan was predeceased by his father Andrew Huot, his mother Dorris (Steiner) Huot and a brother Stephen Huot. He leaves behind his loving wife and true companion Carol (Oliver) Huot, his son Andrew Huot and his wife Jessica of Butler TN, his son Bryan, his wife Cassie and grandchildren Parker and Owen of Fredericksburg, VA, aunt and uncle Marilyn & Tony Fiano, sister and brother-in-law Suzanne & Jerry Tempesta, niece Lindsay Oliver of Simsbury, CT, niece Andrea (Tempesta) Lavoie & her husband Andrew of Amherst, NH and nephew Nick Tempesta and his girlfriend Gill Lusky of Tampa, FL and many, many friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The University of Virginia Cancer Center, Designation Selection – Pancreatic Cancer Research. https://www.givecampus.com/campaigns/20222/ donations/new
