10th District GOP to hold ‘firehouse primary’ with 11 candidates, ranked-choice voting By Daniel Berti
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
A crowded field of 11 Republican candidates has emerged in the nominating race for the 10th Congressional District. The candidates, a slate comprised of local elected officials, military veterans and business owners and executives, will compete in a party-run “firehouse primary” with ranked choice voting on Saturday, May 21. The winner will face U.S. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D), the incumbent, who is seeking her third term in office.
Geary Higgins, the 10th Congressional District Republican Committee chair, said the party expects a voter turnout of between 20,000 and 30,000 people the day of the primary. “We’ve got some really good candidates. We’re going to have a great nominee at the end of this,” Higgins said. Willie Deutsch, Prince William County Republican Committee Vice Chair, told Fauquier Times the local party committees are “ready for a big turnout.” See GOP, page 4
Proposed Warrenton budget addresses long-neglected utility infrastructure By Coy Ferrell
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
The Warrenton Town Council is considering major increases to water and sewer maintenance investments, part of a proposed budget that would have overall town government spending increase from $26.5 million to $32.4 million this year when capital expenditures are included. It would
mark the first significant increase in the town budget since most major spending items were put on hold at the beginning of the pandemic. For non-infrastructure expenditures, the proposed budget would keep the 5-cent tax rate on real estate, lower than most comparable Virginia towns. The meals tax — the

With state budget in limbo, supervisors again delay county budget process By Coy Ferrell
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
After delaying adoption of a county budget once already, Fauquier County supervisors have again pushed back their budget development process as the Virginia General Assembly continues to iron out its spending plan. Supervisors will now hold a budget work session Thursday. “Without an adopted state budget, Fauquier is left with a number of unanswered questions regarding various revenue controlled by the state,” Board of Supervisors Chairman Chris Granger (Center District) said Monday. “Hopefully, the GA gets down to business and adopts a budget this week.” See COUNTY, page 8

Fauquier’s poorhouse history comes alive online -- and on screen By Robin Earl
The Fauquier County Poorhouse Project
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
What started with an interest in Fauquier County history has blossomed into a full-blown website about the county’s poorhouses – an early “welfare” system. In addition, a professional documentary film on the subject is well into production and could be finished in the next year or so. Website creator Laura Kelsey said that Darryl Jenkins started the ball rolling when he reached out to the John Gott Library in Marshall. Kelsey said, “He came in to get acquainted with us. Did we need help with our collection? Did we need some volunteers?” Gott’s church – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – sent help. Kelsey is on the board of directors of the library, which is under the Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Society, and is also president of the Fauquier Historical Society. The assistance was welcomed, she said. The idea came up to do some research on the history of the poorhouse system in Fauquier County. “We realized we didn’t know much about it and wanted to create some resources
Fauquier County’s last poorhouse, located near Free State Road so there would be a record.” There were two Anglican parishes in Fauquier in the poorhouse system. The Hamilton Parish came first, in 1730; Leeds Parish was created later. There were four poorhouses in Fauquier as of 1814, two in the southern end of the county, one near Warrenton and one near The Plains.
Some examples of poorhouse history
Development of the Virginia poorhouse system: “ in 1755… the burgesses established poorhouses and workhouses in the colony’s cities and parishes. Furthermore, they decreed that every person who received relief from the parish or was sent to a poorhouse ‘shall, upon the shoulder … in an open and visible manner, wear a badge … cut either in blue, red, or green cloth.’ Anyone who refused to wear the badge could suffer five lashes or forfeit the parish allowance.” -- Virginia Poor Houses,” by Watkins, Dr. James D. About the Warrenton-area poorhouse: On “Free State Road (1840-1924) 18 June 1850 - James Keith Marshall and his wife Claudia sell a 350-acre parcel to the Overseers of the Poor for $1,400. This poorhouse continued in operation until 1924.” Burial records: To date, more than 70 people buried in poorhouse cemeteries have been identified. These graves, for the most part, are not marked with headstones containing names and dates. Some are evident only by contours of the earth. Poorhouse products: July 1837 to July 1838 The poorhouses were located on tracts of land large enough to grow crops. These included corn, wheat, potatoes, tobacco, hay and vegetables. • 45 barrels corn • 70 bushels wheat • 35 bushels potatoes • 250 pounds tobacco • 7000 pounds hay • Vegetables for one year • 275 yards of cloth spun and wove Source: fauquiercountypoorhouseproject.com

“I did all the work on the location of the land,” said Kelsey. “There were four major pieces of land, and I was able to track down the ownership of that land over the years. Overseers directed the poorhouses, so a portion of the research was devoted to learning about them, too. Names of the overseers of the poor — from 1804 to 1845 — are listed on the website. Research expanded to find out who was buried in the poorhouse cemeteries. “When it started to become ‘a thing,’ we looked for partners,” said Kelsey. “We spoke with the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County. The women there had already done so much of the research and had compiled amazing databases of the people who lived and died in the poorhouse. They provided a lot of information on indentures – many of them were African Americans, but there were others also.” Kelsey explained the term “indentured.” “Say there was a 12-yearold boy living in the poorhouse. He would be indentured out to learn a trade. A farmer, or a cobbler, for instance, would provide him food and a place to live in exchange for work.” The website’s lists of indentured persons include information about

Special ed teacher Kasey Willoughby named Fauquier Teacher of the Year By Robin Earl
Fauquier Times Staff Writer
It takes a special kind of person to be a special ed teacher; Kathleen “Kasey” Willoughby was chosen the most special when she was chosen as the Fauquier County Public School Teacher of the Year for 2022. Willoughby has been teaching special ed at Kettle Run High School since the school opened 14 years ago. Before that, she taught at Marshall Middle for three years. She said that one of her most satisfying accomplishments has been the establishment of the Unified Sports Program, which partners special ed students (agents) with gen ed students (allies) for physical education classes, a sports club and competitive sports teams. The concept was conceived before the pandemic, but only came to fruition this year. Willoughby explained how it works: In the Unified PE classes, the allies help the agents through games and activities. Willoughby said, “It allows our students to have the independence they seek, without the hovering of a teacher.” She said she loves seeing how friendships develop among the students. “Some of the partnerships developed right away and others blossomed over the course of the term. Students were so sad when the term was ending that a few students rearranged their schedules and dropped AP classes simply to take care of their allies in the upcoming term.” In the Unified Sports Club, agents and allies come together and work on developing upcoming events, campaigns, spirit weeks, fundraisers, etc. Willoughby said, “I have seen some really quiet kids thrive in this situation, and they came up with some really great ideas this year.”
The Unified Sports Teams include bocce, track and field and basketball. Willoughby said, “We noticed in PE that we had some kids who showed some talent, so we decided to put ourselves out there and compete with Prince William County. We ended up having an undefeated season, including taking first at the annual PWCS Basketball Tournament. During the season, one participant in particular, Bryan Drotos, thrived in this environment and bonded very closely with a couple of the Allies. Willoughby said, “Watching our students engaging in a typical athletic event was such a new experience for their parents and peers. Our kids really got to show what talents and abilities they have. Each game brought me to tears to see them having this moment. The home games we had melted my heart to see the student body cheering on our kids on the court. That was my favorite moment.” Willoughby also initiated the special education program STAND (See Talents and Abilities not Disabilities). She explained, “We felt that calling the ID (Intellectual Disability) program wasn’t an accurate label for our program because we had students with disabilities other than ID, so the team of ID teachers came up with STAND. As far as I know, we are the only school using the STAND title.” Willoughby said that sped teachers can play an important role in their students’ lives. She said, “You don’t just get a student; you get their family. I speak with parents of my students on almost a daily basis. You have to have a good relationship with parents, or it’s going to be a bumpy road, especially since I have them at least four years, usually longer. See WILLOUGHBY, page 6

GOP holds firehouse primary with 11 candidates for 10th District, ranked choice voting GOP, from page 1 The decennial redistricting process changed the boundaries of the 10th Congressional District in 2021. The 10th District gained Fauquier and Rappahannock counties, while losing Clarke County, Frederick County, Winchester City and parts of Fairfax County. Loudoun County, western Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park remained in the district. More than 80% of the 10th Congressional District’s estimated 570,000 voters live in Loudoun and Prince William counties. The district is rated a “competitive” district by the Virginia Public Access Project. Former governor Terry McAuliffe carried the district over Gov. Glenn Youngkin by just under two points in the 2021 general election. Higgins said he believes the new district lines “are better than the previous ones” for Republicans running in the district. “I’m very excited about the possibility of taking this seat back. We have a really good chance,” Higgins said.
Who are the Republican candidates?
There are 11 candidates seeking the Republican nomination in the 10th Congressional District. John Beatty is a Loudoun County School Board member representing the Catoctin District. He was elected to that position in 2019. Beatty works as an information technology director and a computer science teacher at The Heights School, a private Christian preparatory school in Potomac, John Beatty Maryland. Beatty was born in Portsmouth, Virginia but grew up in the Washington D.C. area. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and minors in business and mathematics. He currently lives between Waterford and Lovettsville with his wife and their six children. Dave Beckwith is a retired Air Force colonel who lives near Sterling, in Loudoun County. After his retirement in 2017, he continued working in military intelligence for the National Reconnaissance Office, an agency of the U.S. Department of Defense, until March 2022. Beckwith graduated from the University of Dave Beckwith Notre Dame in 1987 before beginning a career in the Air Force. Beckwith and his wife Sally have three children. All three were homeschooled. Beckwith is “a staunch advocate for homeschooling and school choice,” according to his website. Hung Cao is a retired U.S. Navy captain who served in special operations for 25 years. He lives in Purcellville, in Loudoun County, with his wife. Together they have five children whom they homeschool. Cao is a refugee from Vietnam. His family escaped the country in Hung Cao 1975, shortly before the fall of Saigon, according to his website. Growing up, he briefly lived in West Africa before moving to Annandale in 1982.
How does the nominating process work?
The 10th Congressional District Republican Committee will hold a party-run, “firehouse primary” with ranked choice voting at 11 locations throughout the district, including at three locations in both Prince William and Loudoun counties and one in every other city and county within the district. To vote in the firehouse primary, voters must be registered and live within the new 10th District boundaries, must declare their intent to support all Republican nominees for public office in the ensuing election and cannot have participated in the nomination process of a party other than the Republican Party in the last five years in Virginia. They must also attest “to be in accord with the principles of the Republican Party.” An exception may be allowed if a voter renounces affiliation with any other party in writing and that they intend to support the nominees of the Republican Party in the future. Voting will be held on Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. One day of in-person absentee voting will be held on Thursday, May 12 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Middleburg, Virginia. To receive a ballot, voters must present a valid photo ID. Greg Schumacher, chairman of the Fauquier County Republican Committee, emphasized that in Fauquier County, “There will be a single voting location used that day and all votes from our county will be cast at Fauquier High School, 705 Waterloo Road, Warrenton. Do not go to your normal precinct voting location (unless Fauquier High School is your normal voting location).” He added, “We will post a sample ballot on our website, www.fauquiergop.com, when it becomes available, which you will be able to use in your preparation to vote. … If you are not an internet user and would like information about this election mailed to you, please send a request to Fauquier GOP, P.O. Box 925, Warrenton, VA 20199. Please include a phone number so we can call you concerning your specific information needs.” The committee will use ranked choice voting to nominate a candidate. That means every voter will mark their ballots in order of preference. When selecting a single candidate, all first choices are tallied by the committee. If a candidate wins a majority among the first-choice votes, then that candidate is the winner. If not, the candidate with the fewest firstchoice votes is eliminated, and the second choices from those ballots are then added to the remaining candidates. The process continues until one candidate receives a majority of the final votes. A link on the Fauquier GOP website explains ranked choice voting. While serving in the military, Cao deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia. He returned from his final deployment to Afghanistan in Jan. 2021, eight months before the U.S. military withdrew. What he calls “the mishandling” of the United States’ exit from Afghanistan prompted Cao to run for U.S. Congress. Mike Clancy is a senior vice president of Oracle, the second-largest computer software company in the world. Clancy and his wife live in Loudoun County. They have four children Mike Clancy and are members of their local Catholic church. Clancy earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame in government and philosophy, earned a juris doctor from the George

With state budget in limbo, supervisors again delay county budget process COUNTY, from page 1 Most significant for local governments, lawmakers have yet to agree on whether to eliminate the state’s grocery tax, a key campaign promise of Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R). Doing so would deprive Fauquier County of $2.5 million, money that would have to be made up by local taxes or eliminated from the county budget altogether. Other revenue from the state grocery tax goes toward local school divisions and to the state transportation fund, but lawmakers have stressed that schools will be reimbursed for the lost revenue — at least in the short term — if the tax is eliminated. Similar proposals exist for reimbursing local governments, but those plans remain tentative at best. Some lawmakers have proposed using state funds to help localities pay for school construction and maintenance, with potentially significant impacts for Fauquier County. But as with the grocery tax, no clear consensus has emerged from Richmond amid ongoing negotiations. Supervisors had originally been scheduled to vote on a final county budget April 4 but delayed a decision until at least April 12 to allow the General Assembly to work out its budget, as the legislature failed to agree on a spending plan during its regular session. But the extra week didn’t see any significant progress in Richmond, leaving county supervisors with little more information than they had before.
Fauquier students see themselves in American Idol contestant Mike Parker PARKER, from page 1 Staff at Grace Miller who listened to Parker’s talk described a thoughtful, humble man who brought his mom and looked to the teachers for guidance. They say there was no script or plan and that he spoke from the heart —he was simply happy to be there. A first grader named Xavier said he was especially inspired when he first saw Parker. “That’s the future me!,” Xavier said when he was shown videos of the singer before his visit, according to school staffers. When Parker heard about it, he welcomed Xavier — whom Parker now calls “Mini Me” — to the stage. The educators said that for students, seeing Parker following such big dreams — “seeing people who look and sound like them, people who come from where they come from,” as one put it — is vital. In a text message Tuesday, Parker said, “It wasn’t easy, but I’m finally finding my place in the world. I appreciate so much the support that I’m getting now from my hometown community.” Grace Miller Principal Debbie Diaz-Arnold, Fauquier County’s first Latina principal, says representation and hope are key. She said that the way Parker was able to gently inspire the students with such authenticity was a much-needed boost for kids who do not often get to meet heroes that they can relate to. For the excited elementary school students, Parker sang two songs that he had performed on American Idol: “Burning House,” which he selected for his “genre challenge” round success, and “Best Shot,” by Jimmie Allen, a Grammy-nominated country music star. “The beginning of his journey is … similar to my journey right now, and he made me feel

like there is a spot for me in country music,” Parker said of Allen. Parker also spent March 30 popping in and out of classrooms, listening to children, asking about their dreams and telling them how they “can do all the things they want to ... if they don’t give up.” Diaz-Arnold spoke of how patient and present Parker was throughout the day. He was completely unselfish with his time and attention, she said, especially when sharing the disappointment he felt when he was eliminated from The Voice, a singing competition on NBC, in 2018. Parker’s message was clear, said Diaz-Arnold: “It doesn’t matter if it’s a math problem, a paper they’re struggling to write or a book they’re reading. Do not give up. There is always a next chapter.” See PARKER, page 20

Proposed Warrenton budget addresses long-neglected utility infrastructure TOWN, from page 1 town’s greatest single source of revenue — would increase from 4% to 6%, putting it in line with the county’s proposed 6% meals tax. The increase to the meals tax alone would yield an additional $1.5 million for the town annually, and overall revenue for the general fund would increase from $16.3 million to $18.2 million. (Because of increased real estate values, real estate tax revenue would increase by $220,000, for instance.) More than one third of the increase to overall spending in the proposed budget would go toward capital and operating expenses related to the town’s water and sewer infrastructure, including a $1.4 million increase to address major maintenance needs. “Over the past few years, the town began proactively quantifying the ongoing impact of repairs and replacements necessary to maintain services provided to citizens,” said an April 1 memo to council from Town Manager Brandie Schaeffer. Capital for the infrastructure expenses would be funded in part by increases to water and sewer fees for residents and businesses averaging 7.3%
New staff positions The proposed FY 2023 Warrenton budget includes five new full-time staff positions (including one that was eliminated during the pandemic), one new part-time position and the conversion of a parttime position to full time: • A sergeant in the police department • A human resources generalist • A deputy director and a junior engineer for public utilities • A project coordinator for capital projects • A grants officer The total cost of the new or expanded positions

over five years. (Water and sewer costs draw on a separate, self-sustaining town utility fund.) Other funding would come in the form of up-front allocations from the utility fund, with the remaining coming from debt. “Catching up does not happen overnight and, unfortunately, comes at a cost much higher than what would have been paid over the years if the issues had been addressed at the time,” Schaeffer’s April 1 memo said, noting that the town deferred “necessary maintenance” when town councils in the 1990s and 2000s reduced tax rates to far below the current level. The total $4.1 million proposed to put toward those projects this year would only begin to address would be $721,000, although the $121,000 cost of hiring a grants officer is expected to pay for itself through an increase in grant revenue. Town departments requested additional staffing that would have cost an additional $757,000; those requests are not included in the proposed budget. The unfunded requests include: • Two police officers • A director of utilities • A public information officer • A building inspector • A planning commission clerk • A human capital generalist • A coordinator for ADA-related compliance

A public hearing on the budget will be held May 10 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall in Warrenton. A final council vote is tentatively scheduled for June 14. The full proposed budget can be found at bit.ly/ FY23Warrentonbudget. the overall need. A total of $18.8 million in spending is needed in the next five years for improvements and additions to the town’s water and sewer infrastructure, according to a 2021 report. A consultant said Tuesday, however, that the real cost will most likely increase by 2027 because of inflation. The town’s financial consultant, Kyle Laux of Davenport and Company, said Tuesday that — unlike some Northern Virginia localities — the relatively static population of Warrenton means that existing residents and businesses will bear most of the burden of capitalizing infrastructure costs. “We don’t have a rapidly expanding user base to help cover the cost of capital [projects],” he pointed out. None of the 42 items in the proposed five-year spending plan are particularly glamorous: $150,000 for “Primary Sludge Pump Upgrades,” for instance, or $1.3 million for “Cast Iron Waterline Replacement.” But continuing to defer maintenance could lead to higher costs in the long run; the town’s current cast iron water pipes, for instance, are much more likely to break than the more modern ductile iron pipes slated to replace them, according to a report commissioned by the town council. Some of those pipes are more than 80 years old. Outside increases to infrastructure investment, the proposed budget would fund 5% cost-of-living raises for all town employees and additional merit-based raises of up to 2%. It would also fund a “hazardous duty supplement” to first responders’ retirement funds, along with adding about six full-time-equivalent positions to the town payroll. (See box.)

Fauquier’s poorhouse history comes alive online — and on screen POORHOUSE, from page 2
Lights, camera …
Kelsey said one of Jenkins’ valuable contributions was access to professional videographers and equipment, so the natural next step was to do on-camera interviews with experts on Fauquier County history and culture of the time. Interviews included those who had relatives who lived or worked in the poorhouses. “We started out thinking we’d make it into a book, but it morphed into a film,” said Kelsey. She added, “Darryl got this wonderful Shakespearean actor to narrate the film.” Jenkins confirmed he was aiming to have the film finished by early spring 2023. “It has been so eye-opening, so revealing about what was happening here 200 years ago.” One of the residents interviewed in the film was Rhonda Jeffries, whose grandfather lived in the poorhouse from ages 2 to 5. “She would visit him during the summer, and he would tell her stories,” said Jenkins. “Her uncle was the superintendent of one of the poorhouses.” Jenkins said that a representative of the Church of England “gave us such an interview about the [Church of England]’s attitude toward the poor.” He said that he still couldn’t get over the interviews from Angela Davidson and Karen White of the AAHA. “They told lots of stories, one about a free black man who could not take care of himself so was sold back into slavery. The proceeds went to the Fauquier Literary Society. It’s amazing.” Jenkins has directed about 12 interviews so far, he said, and there will be another flurry of filming at the end of April and into May. “We have about 10 more interviews to do,” he said, “then we’ll begin editing in the late summer and fall.” Jenkins said he will be shooting some scenes

Wanted: Local talent for film on Fauquier’s poorhouse project
Documentary director Darryl Jenkins is looking for 20 to 30 local “actors” who would like to participate in a film about Fauquier County’s poorhouses. They will be reenacting moments from the 1800s and early 1900s. Children and adults are needed for the mostly non-speaking roles. Actors will be asked to commit to an hour or two of filming during the month of June. Costumes and music from the period will be needed, as well as photographs or artwork. “And I’d love to have a good artist to work with,” said Jenkins. Anyone interested may email FauquierCountyPoorhouse@gmail.com. with local actors in June, to serve as B-roll during the narration.

Less Cancer at Warrenton Farmers Market May 7
Oak Spring Gardens offer rare opportunity to visit
Less Cancer, a cancer-prevention charity, will be passing out information on their upcoming bike ride -- Bike Ride America -- at the May 7 Warrenton Farmers Market. Bike Ride America is Less Cancer’s annual fundraiser; participants pledge to cycle a certain number of miles, either alone, in groups or at an official Less Cancer event during the month of June. This year’s fundraiser is scheduled to take place June 3 to July 4. The Less Cancer event on May 7 will feature drawings for two bikes and helmets; a five-day summer camp at Old Town Athletic Club’s Divergent Performance for one child aged 6 to 9; a week-long ten-
The garden of the late Rachel “Bunny” Mellon will be open to public visitation on April 18 and 19. The Oak Spring Garden tour, at 1776 Loughborough Lane, Upperville, will be self-guided. Guests may visit the walled garden, the formal greenhouse and the Oak Spring Gallery, which includes a gift shop and a newly opened exhibit, “The Fabrics of Life: The Mellon Collection of Linens at Oak Spring.” Guests will also be able to see an outdoor exhibit on landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, in celebration of his bicentenary. Bunny Mellon was a legendary horticulturalist who designed gardens around the world; perhaps the most
nis camp at Chestnut Forks; and a child’s tennis racquet. Additionally, Less Cancer president Bill Couzens and Venus Bazan Barratt, owner of Wellness Kitchen of Warrenton, will be preparing healthy bike riding snacks using ingredients from farmer’s market vendors. Founded in 2004, Less Cancer focuses on educating the public – through media, public policy and advocacy – about preventing cancer through healthy living and eliminating contaminants from the environment. The charity has held Bike Ride America fundraisers since 2012. In 2021, the charity raised more than $97,000 from the event.
famous example is the White House Rose Garden, which she re-designed in 1961 for President John F. Kennedy. The garden and 700 acres of the surrounding landscape are now under the management of the Oak Spring Garden Foundation. OSGF isn’t typically open to the general public. Instead, the site hosts educational programs as well as two-to-five week residencies for artists, researchers, conservationists and others whose work explores plants and humankind’s connections to them. Tour reservations for April 18 and 19 are $125 and are for timed entry each day. Visit www.osgf.org for more information.

OPINION WWW.FAUQUIER.COM
Fauquier Times | April 13, 2022
It’s possible for polar opposites to find common ground I enjoyed the article on April 6 about the Black Lives Matter vigil (“As Warrenton’s weekly Black Lives Matter vigil nears its third year, organizers have no plans to stop”). The first time that I heard the words “Black Lives Matter” was on social media before there was a well-known movement My response was, “Of course, all lives matter.” I was corrected several times. I came to the understanding that the BLM movement and organization was not saying that other lives didn’t matter, but it is representing the fact that for way too long, our black community has not enjoyed the privileges that I, as a white person, take for granted, and that the Black community is losing lives because of this. So, I do get it. I needed to be educated. I needed the light to be turned on in my head. Growing up in Washington, D.C. in the 1960s, has given me a background that fuels my interest.
The Times article reports that there are two opposing groups literally on opposite sides of the street. These two groups of people seem to be polar opposites. It has gone on this way for several years. However, there is a lot of philosophical real estate in between those two poles. Each side has dug into their camp and created barriers as we all tend to do. I imagine that if we all put down our signs and harsh language and decided to find those values that we all hold close to our hearts, we would be surprised at how many of those values we have in common. I saw in the article that there are things that both groups agree on. The coming together of supposedly complete polar opposites; it would be a radical thing to do in our world where so many people in the limelight seem to be choosing violence.What an amazing example of love and caring. Yes, it would be a challenge. It is much easier to con-
tinue on the same path for more years, perhaps becoming more contentious and violent. What a powerful example this could be to our children, and to the rest of the world. (It might make the national news!) Can we somehow break the barrier? Can we try not to force our kids to pick a side? Can we show them another way? I, for one, could really use some hometown heroes. I know we care about each other. Fauquier has the most giving, helpful people anywhere in the country. The two groups in “opposition” have the ear of our local press. At the risk of sounding like a Pollyanna, I would like to challenge you to really make a difference in the lives of our community by putting aside the differences. Pick up a cup of coffee and meet in the middle of the road. PAMELA BURCH Warrenton
Farmland threatened: Land acquisition by solar project chips away at available land Fauquier County is no stranger to pressure from development. For years, we have watched the suburbs slowly creep into the county and replace working farms and forests. Fauquier now faces a new threat, one that does not creep from one direction, but rather pops up anywhere there is available land. It doesn’t provide housing for the county; rather, it generates electricity for distant end-users with minimal benefit to our locality. We are of course talking about utility-scale solar operations. In 2020, Virginia topped almost all other states in solar installations, ranking fourth behind only California, Texas and Florida — states with far more land. If the commonwealth continues at this pace, we face a significant and unstoppable loss of prime farmland. That’s an indispensable asset that we cannot allow to fritter away into industrial applications like this one. Fauquier County is ranked 16th
out of 95 for agriculture production, in a state where agriculture and forestry make up the number 1 industry. The most recent (2017) U.S. Census of Agriculture found 1,154 farms in the county, on a cumulative 216,666 acres, with an average farm size of 188 acres, consistent with the statewide average. In 2017, the total market value of agricultural products sold in Fauquier was $54.8 million. The census identified 2,035 farmers in the county, and more than 3,600 individuals living in Fauquier farm households. Agriculture’s impact reaches far beyond those families’ farm gates, as every job in Virginia agriculture and forestry supports 1.7 jobs elsewhere in the state economy. Solar developers often tout the rent they pay to landowners as a significant economic benefit. However, those landowners don’t always live locally, and those dollars don’t always benefit the local economy. Agriculture, on the other hand, ben-
efits the local economy directly. On each acre of land, money changes hands to purchase seed, inputs, equipment, livestock, labor and fuel. And the open land provides environmental benefits as well. Acquiring land has long been a challenge for farmers in our part of the state. Solar projects driven by government subsidies and mandates chip away at available land, converting open space and prime farmland to impervious surfaces and driving up competition for land that can be farmed. In a March 30 letter (“Sowego Solar a step toward tax relief for Fauquier County residents,” Fauquier Times), a pro-solar advocate argued that there is a surplus of farmland in Fauquier. This simply isn’t the case. According to an American Farmland Trust study, between 2001 and 2016, 340,000 acres of Virginia’s farmland were developed or threatened; nearly 120,000
acres of that land were “nationally significant.” Land use threats of this magnitude are also threats to the economy. This level of development represents enough land to generate $164 million in annual revenue. Fauquier still has a large, diverse agriculture industry, thanks to previous leaders’ commitment to preserving the county’s natural beauty and productivity. Harnessing the sun for energy interests should not overshadow the value of our county’s farms and forests, particularly as the nation works to feed a growing population in the face of other threats to farmland.

Governor Youngkin’s ‘letters of denunciation’ have no place in a free society The Gestapo called them letters of denunciation. Letters of denunciation were a widely used tool for any person to anonymously snitch to the Gestapo that anyone -- friend, neighbor, family member, stranger -- was in violation of Nazi rules, was anti-Hitler, or was a Jew. Victims of these anonymous allegations had no recourse to prove innocence when the Gestapo or other authorities apprehended them and were often executed on site, jailed, sent to hard labor camps or transported en masse to extermination camps. Immediately upon taking office, Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued Executive Order #1, establishing a “tip line for parents to report to the state any school officials they find to be behaving objectionably, including teaching ‘divisive subjects.’” (Note: “Divisive subjects” is a reference to the phantom critical race theory issue.) The governor continued, “We’re asking for folks to send us reports and observations, help us be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia and we’re going to make sure we catalogue it all … And that gives us further, further ability to make sure we’re rooting it out.” (emphasis added) (Washington Post, Jan. 25). Fauquier County resident Kathy Kadilak
warned in a Feb. 5 letter to the editor (“Governor’s tip line is the definition of divisive”) of the inherent dangers with this database. Consequently, I inquired to the school board about CRT in Fauquier County Public Schools. I received a response that FCPS does not promote nor endorse CRT; there is no CRT policy or staff development on the topic; there has been no meaningful discussion about provision of CRT; and there have been no requests to include CRT in the instructional program. The board of directors of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents, whose membership includes every school division in Virginia, joined with seven other state level professional educational associations in a Feb. 3, letter asking the governor to shut down the tip line and rescind E.O. #1. As of March 26, the governor has done neither. Given the local media reports of allegations from Fauquier citizens that CRT exists in FCPS, I thought it was reasonable to assume that FCPS personnel have been “tattled on.” I properly submitted two FOIA requests to the governor’s office asking for a redacted copy of the tip line contents as well as a copy of policies and implementation procedures used to ensure enforcement of the
Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act. Responses were unsettling, if not chilling. “The requested records are being entirely withheld pursuant to Section 2.2-3705.7 as working papers and correspondence of the Office of the Governor… The forms … do not exist. The remaining [requests] are not proper FOIA requests because they do not describe with reasonable particularity any existing documents.” There you have it. Gov. Youngkin continues to receive and catalogue letters of denunciation alleging improper speech by any school personnel on a “divisive subject” (that does not exist in FCPS). A privacy policy and plan in accordance with the GDCDPA for this data collection has not been made public, and the governor is denying substantive responses to FOIA requests. Personal political ideology should not interfere with being unnerved by the cavalier disregard of the GDCDPA as the governor pits citizens against school personnel. What topic for establishing a secret database predicated on letters of denunciation will be next? Collecting, cataloguing and acting on letters of denunciation have no place in a free society.

Happy Easter! An Easter Letter to All Children Dear Children, Isn’t Easter a happy time with birds singing and flowers blooming? There is new life all around as trees bud and grass grows again after the cold of winter. Some families have fun, decorating eggs and making candy treats for others. Easter dinner is usually a special event for family and friends. Churches are full of flowers and glorious music. With all of this taking place, it seems that even the warm breeze is singing a song and the world is full of joy. The world is joyful because Jesus conquered sin and death. God gives us celebrations to help us remember special things. Did you ever think about the fact that there were thirty-three years between the first Christmas and the first Easter? There were thirty-three years from the time of Jesus’ birth in the stable until His death on the cross and resurrection on Easter morning. This same Jesus who came into the world as a tiny baby, the Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life, and then laid down His life willingly to pay for our sins. Since He made us and paid for our sin, He is able to forgive us and make a home for us in Heaven. Our part is to be sorry for our sins, choose to do what is right, and ask Jesus Christ to live His life of love through us. What a great adventure! My prayer is that you will read your Bible and get to know Jesus as your best friend. Life is wonderful with Him. He gives us a happy heart. That’s why we say “Happy Easter”! Lots of Love, Mrs. Bloom

Her shot ignited a raucous celebration, but Fauquier still the bottom of the inning to respond.

In the bottom of the seventh, Liberty got two quick outs on two pitches on a pop up and a line out. Falcon Katie Harrington kept the hosts’ hopes alive with a double, but an infield pop up ended the game. “This is a resilient group. They never give up, no matter what the score is,” Liberty coach Chris Leathrman said admiringly. “We were aggressive. We’ve been preaching that

Following a strikeout, Harrington and Emily Pentazer recorded consecutive singles, and Haley Saulsbury walked to load the bases. Izzy Evans followed with a swinging bunt single off home plate to score Harrington for Fauquier’s first lead of the night at 3-2. Leatherman then brought Smith on in relief.

Special to the Fauquier Times
Both Fauquier and Liberty were looking for their initial girls soccer win of the spring when they met Friday afternoon. The Falcons added a check mark in the win column on a goal by Lily Finkbeiner midway through the second half for a 1-0 decision. That tally raised Fauquier’s Northwestern District record to 1-4-1 and left the Eagles at 0-5-1. “The first half was a little rough,” Fauquier coach Josh Smith admitted. “It took us a bit to find our rhythm, but we came out in the second half shooting and creating chances. Liberty had some dangerous freekicks and corners in the second half as well that kept us on our toes.” Both squads have struggled to reach the win column, yet there have been positive signs lately for each. Fauquier had a recent tie versus perennially potent Kettle Run, 2-2, on scores by Annamae Lawrence and McKenna Locke. That result and the win have Smith looking ahead. “I wouldn’t say we’re where we want to be quite yet in terms of consistency,” the coach said. “But at the halfway point of the season, the girls are feeling good and ready to play against these teams a second time. Smith said his Falcons are growing not just in confidence, “but belief as well. They’re trusting the foundation, the style of play, and each other and it shows the field.” Liberty was coming off a 1-1 tie with Mill-

Kettle Run in contention again
Kettle Run is usually among the top girls soccer squads in the district, and 2022 is no different with the Cougars jostling with Handley for second behind unbeaten James Wood. Kettle Run battled James Wood evenly through regulation at 3-3 before falling 5-3 in overtime. The team also tied Handley, 2-2. “Each week, I see the team getting better. I feel we can compete with any team in the district,” said Cougar coach William Brummett. He acknowledged the 2-2 tie versus Fauquier made catching James Wood more difficult for the No. 1 seed, but he has a longer term outlook. “We need to work out some small details where we could be better. We did not play our best game against FHS.” Brummett said. “I feel we are still a strong contender to make it to the tournament finals and possibly regional play.” Katie Kuzma scored the first goal against Fauquier, assisted by Emma Smith. Kelly Wright notched the second goal. Brummett said the annual focus is to improve each week and move up the standings. The team is cohesive and focused, he said. “I feel that is one thing that sets our program apart,” he concluded.

‘One heck of a game’ ‘Pumped’ Falcons and Eagles play to 0-0 boys soccer tie By Jackie Timberlake
Special to the Fauquier Times
Boys soccer rivals Liberty and Fauquier played to a 0-0 tie last Friday after an arduous overtime stalemate. Sitting in the middle of the Northwestern District pack, Liberty (2-31) came in looking to bounce back from a 2-1 away loss at first-place Millbrook. Fauquier (0-4-2) is still searching for its first league win after a season characterized by ties and close losses. “We were seriously so pumped,” said Fauquier attacking winger Anderson Calderon. Not long after kickoff, Calderon used his speed to open up the field and be a passing option and later had the first shot on goal, around six minutes into the first half.
FAUQUIER TIMES STAFF PHOTO/COY FERRELL
Liberty’s Hector Chinchilla and James Wood’s Ryan King face off. “I was confident in my ability and it felt like I was the one in control. It made me feel like quite the threat,” said Calderon. Fauquier’s possession-style attack often proved effective on the newer field at the Central Sports Complex, used due to soggy conditions at Falcon Field. “We try our best to keep the ball on

‘The defense was amazing’ Dynamic offense, tough marking power Fauquier boys lacrosse over Liberty, 16-4 By Jackie Timberlake
Special to the Fauquier Times
The Fauquier boys lacrosse team played its best overall game of the young season in handling rival Liberty 16-4 last Wednesday. Coach J.B. Tippett raved about his team’s strong defense, which held the Eagles (2-2) in check, allowing the Falcons to swoop in frequently for goals. “The defense was amazing, it was our best performance so far,” said Tippett, whose Falcons are a perfect 5-0 after two wins last week. Corey Burke set the tone, scooping up the ball on
defense and earning an assist on one play. Burke had three assists from his defender spot. “All game long, the tempo was out and our speed, passing and throwing were consistent,” said Tippett. Tyler Cadle and Dylan Taylor each had three goals for the Falcons, followed by Wyatt Croson, Reece Kuhns and Wes Heflin with two each. Matthew Fischer had a goal and two assists. Fauquier also downed James Monroe 20-2 on April 7 as Cadle and Billy Brook each scored four goals. Kobe Link and Kuhns each scored three, Ethan Roteman and Taylor scored two each and Christian McCauley tallied his first career goal. The Falcons are off for two weeks and next play April 20 at North Stafford and April 21 at Meridian. Liberty next plays April 25 at home vs. Kettle Run.

Liam Collins swayed his hips to the music, liking the song “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” played over the PA system. Liberty’s leadoff batter was loose and relaxed as he readied for Friday’s baseball clash with Fauquier. Moments later he started the game with a solid single to center. Braden Conner followed with a double into the left-center field gap. John Embrey then plated them both with a line single to left and the Eagles led 2-0. It’s those encouraging developments that make Eagles’ first-year coach Jason Mecke smile. While third-place Fauquier (3-2 in Northwestern District) came back to win 7-2, the seventh-place Eagles (0-4) made the Falcons work. “We got out of the gates hot, but cooled off after that,” said Mecke. “A lot of hit batsmen and walks got us in trouble.” Liberty is now 0-7 overall but working hard for their first win. They recently lost to Gainesville 4-3. A lack of offense has been an issue, with the Eagles not scoring more than five runs in any game. They didn’t score in the final six innings Friday

It’s Lonely at the top
Riverdee, Wyatt runner opens his timber account with Old Dominion score By Betsy Burke Parker
Special to the Fauquier Times
Lonely Weekend completed a racing triple play Saturday. The son of dual champion Tiznow won the headliner at the April 9 Old Dominion Hounds Point-to-Point, adding timber to a well-rounded resume that includes prior wins on the dirt, on the turf and over hurdles. Owned by the Riverdee partnership that includes Middleburg’s Sean Clancy and former ODH master Bill Osier, Lonely Weekend won at first asking over the solid obstacles with an impressive performance over the stiff Ben Venue Farm course near Flint Hill. “He jumped quite well,” said winning rider Tom Garner. “He’s obviously quite green, being his first start (over timber.) But he jumped better and better,” edging to the lead with three furlongs to go and drawing away under a vigorous hand ride in the deep homestretch. Kentucky-born Lonely Weekend was bred by House of Chanel heirs, Alain and Gerard Wertheimer of France. The Wertheimer name is
synonymous with excellence in racing, having produced leading stallions Lyphard, Green Dancer and Riverman, in addition to numerous champions in the U.S. and in Europe. Lonely Weekend won two of 11 starts on the flat and $100,000 for the Wertheimers before joining Riverdee. “I’d seen him in the paddock one day at Laurel,” Clancy explained. “I just loved him; he’s beautiful – had the right connections, was well-managed, really taken care of. Everything you’d want in a horse.” Clancy reached out to trainer Graham Motion a few months later when Lonely Weekend’s form on the flat tailed off. He won his first start for Riverdee that fall on the turf and showed promise over fences, breaking his hurdle maiden at the spectator-free, COVID-altered Virginia Gold Cup meet. Lonely Weekend was injured in the effort and spent a year recovering from a tendon tear. “You know, the part of COVID people didn’t factor was how we manage our (race)horses,” Clancy said. “Because the calendar was all

You were sort of forced to run because there were not a lot of options.” Lonely Weekend recovered fully from the strain, and last year trainer Todd Wyatt’s wife, Upperville native Blair Waterman Wyatt, started the horse foxhunting in preparation for his next career opportunity. “Blair had said from day one that he looks like a timber horse,” Clancy said. “He’s a little tricky to ride (in a race), though, not an amateur horse, so again we’ve got to manage him since there are even less timber races (open to professional
jockeys) to choose from. “He pulls, and you don’t want to get in a fight with a big strong horse like that because you don’t win that one. Tom (Garner) did a great job,” settling Lonely Weekend over the first few fences, then resisting the urge to micromanage the free-running horse when they jumped naturally to the lead on the long Ben Venue backstretch. Alone over the last, Lonely Weekend repelled late rallies from Paddy’s Crown (Harry Beswick) and First Friday (Barry Foley) to win by almost two lengths under a hand ride from Garner.

Fauquier students see themselves in American Idol contestant Mike Parker PARKER, from page 8
The mom behind the man
Parker was joined on the elementary school stages by his mother, DeJuanna Parker, and they sang “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” together. DeJuanna Parker has made appearances on this season of American Idol, too, as her son discussed his parent’s musical influences and his mother’s developing illness. Parker dedicated his “golden ticket” – which gave him a pass to the “Hollywood” round — to his mother as she received hospital treatment for what was later confirmed to be leukemia. The golden ticket, in turn, was symbolically gifted to the educators of Grace Miller Elementary, through the Parker family and Candice Gibbs, the teaching assistant who organized Parker’s visit. DeJuanna Parker is a published author, Fauquier County educator and champion of rural teachers. She was raised by great-grandparents who were born in 1896 and 1901. She said the generational gap was filled with old school values and the unwavering lesson that “education is key.” She said they instilled in her the belief that she would go to college, would be educated, and that it was a given. It was a valuable mindset
impressed upon her by a grandfather who could not read or write, and a great-grandmother with little to no education herself. In an interview with the Fauquier Times on Tuesday, DeJuana Parker thanked the community for the support she has received. She was happy to talk about her condition and reports that she is doing great, that her leukemia is treatable and that “I will absolutely beat it; anyone who knows me will tell you that.” DeJuanna Parker said that “science and faith” will heal her and is keen to mention the “kids and grandbabies” she must fight for. She noted that all her kids are talented and successful, adding that, “Mike is the one in the spotlight right now.” She said that the American Idol process seems to focus on the “whole artist” and that her son has more life experience and maturity enriching his performances than he did in 2018 when he was a contestant on The Voice. The next state of competition for Parker will be the final 20; those results are due Sunday. As the competition heats up for him, efforts to encourage the growing local interest in the star are underway. Gibbs said that updates for American Idol voting and participation are being shared through social media.

14 COLLEGE-BOUND FALCONS HONORED Including McCulla, who will be a manager for UVa. football By Peter Brewington and Fred Hodge
Fauquier Times Staff Writers
There are about two dozen Fauquier High senior athletes going on to play sports in college this fall, then there’s Lucas McCulla. The FHS senior will be a manager for the University of Virginia football team. The longtime FHS football manager was accepted for early admission at UVa. and got set to work for the Cavaliers football team with help from FHS coach Karl Buckwalter, who knows Virginia offensive line coach Garett Tujague, who forwarded McCulla’s credentials to appropriate people in the UVa. program. “Lucas will be a tremendous asset to their program. Lucas did everything for us behind the scenes, with the players, uniforms and meals,” said Buckwalter. “It is special, it is unusual. It is a full-time SOFTBALL, from page 17 “We fought very hard,” said a disappointed Fauquier coach Erika Lamper afterward. “I think we did hit the ball well throughout the whole game.” “There’s a lot of the season left,” Lamper emphasized on the league’s 12game schedule. “This is going to make them hungrier for the second half of the season...make them fight even harder.” “It’s still early,” Leatherman cautioned, pointing to district results thus far. “As you know, anything can happen on any day. That’s certainly true of this conference. ‘Liberty took a 1-0 first-inning lead on three hits. Smith singled, Katelynn Lewis doubled and a Brooklynn
commitment,” he added of the arrangement, which required that McCulla interview. McCulla was part of a 60-minute signing ceremony last Thursday to honor 14 senior athletes. With 24 college-bound COURTESY PHOTO athletes overall, it’s one of Lucas McCulla will the school’s highest in rebe a manager for the cent years. University of Virginia Slightly less than 7.7 football team this fall. percent (1 in 13) of U.S. high school athletes go on to play for a collegiate program at some level. With a class of approximately 330, that means Fauquier is near the national average at 7.3 percent. “It’s a rare occasion that kids get to do that,” Mark Ott, Fauquier’s director of student affairs, said of the Falcon haul. “Having 24 from our school is an honor.”
Mauro single broke the ice. The Eagles added a third-inning run when Smith singled, advanced on two wild pitches and scored on an error. Fauquier’s first run came in the bottom of the third. Saulsbury walked and scored on Payton Swarts’ double. In the fifth, Swart also singled to drive in Lovell, who had doubled. The teams were coming off shutout losses, as Millbrook downed Liberty, 10-0, while Brentsville was a 9-0 winner over the Falcons. Both schools will be idle this week for spring break. Fauquier visits Handley April 19, while Liberty plays the same day at James Wood.

HORSE, from page 19 Clancy was conservative when asked where they aim next. “We’re playing the long game with this horse,” he said. “He certainly has the scope to be a big-fence horse, but it’s tricky to manage horses like this. We’ll wait and see how he came out of this race and make a plan.” Less than a tenth of the National Steeplechase Association-sanctioned races are over timber; more are run over hurdles because the jumps are portable, and the most prize money is offered in hurdle races. On the other hand, “timber is king,” Clancy said of classic Amer-
ican steeplechasing. The game’s best-known marquis events are over timber – the Virginia Gold Cup and Maryland Hunt Cup. “But you have to manage a horse to get there.” In the other day’s racing, Wyatt and Garner also partnered with Bruton Street’s Agravain to win a division of the maiden hurdle. It was the English-bred 6-year-old’s first start over fences. Steeplechasing shifts to Clarke County next weekend for the April 17 Blue Ridge Hunt Point-to-Point.

Jeanne Lavonne Doenges February 12, 1949 – April 2, 2022 Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God!” Jeanne Lavonne Doenges, age 73, of Warrenton, Virginia passed away on Saturday, April 2, 2022. Jeanne was born in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, and raised in Mount Union, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Robert Richard and Helen Viola (nee Atherton) Wagner. She attended public school in Mount Union, and then in Glen Burnie, Maryland after her family’s move due to her father’s reassignment by his employer. Jeanne graduated from Glen Burnie High School and then Anne Arundel Community College, both in Maryland. In November 1969, in Glen Burnie, Maryland, Jeanne married George Robert (Bob) Doenges, Jr.. Jeanne and Bob resided in Vienna, Virginia for 16 years near Bob’s employment in McLean, Virginia. While living in Vienna, Jeanne and Bob were blessed with the birth of their three daughters. Jeanne loved nature; while living in Vienna, Jeanne and Bob and their daughters seized every opportunity to get away to the mountains and many other beautiful, less crowded places. In 1985, Jeanne and Bob moved their family to Warrenton, Virginia to be closer to God’s beautiful nature. While living in both Vienna and Warrenton, and prior to all three of their daughters being in K-12 schooling, Jeanne provided child care and early preschool education to several young children. Once all three daughters were in school, Jeanne was employed in teaching at Saint James Episcopal School in Warrenton, and then in teaching for 17 years at four elementary schools in the Fauquier County (Virginia) Public School system. They were Central ES, Bradley ES, Ritchie ES and Brumfield ES. During her teaching career, Jeanne focused on Kindergarten and Preschool Special Education classes. When the first of Jeanne and Bob’s four grandchildren was born, Jeanne relinquished her employment in order to focus her love on her grandchildren, together with a return to providing child care and early preschool education to several young children. It was nearly impossible to go somewhere with her that she wasn’t cheerfully greeted by former students – “Miss Jeanne! Miss Jeanne!”. Jeanne and Bob celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary in November of 2021. A lifelong lover of nature, Jeanne spent many joyous times on day trips and in cabins in the mountains with her daughters and family, making wonderful memories. Jeanne loved looking out of her windows and from her porches at every opportunity watching the birds, butterflies, deer, waterfowl and occasional bear, foxes and raccoons, and in the evenings, stargazing. She took comfort in the natural world and instilled a great love of nature in her children and grandchildren. Jeanne was an accomplished pianist, a dabbler in poetry, a lover of the written word and a dedicated Christian. Known as “Mom”,” Mamie” and “Miss Jeanne”, Jeanne always put others first her entire life. She provided comfort and solace to all while asking so little in return. She was a dedicated, kind, loving lady. God had blessed Jeanne with extraordinary gifts that equipped her and sustained her, as it seemed that she constantly went many extra miles to love, care for, and serve others – regardless of her own situation. Jeanne had a very special place in her heart for children, no matter where she encountered them – her own children and grandchildren, children in her home Churches, children in her employment venues, or, for example, children in need who were total strangers to Jeanne, whom she encountered in unexpected venues and situations. Jeanne unselfishly shared her love and care with many adults to celebrate with them and to help them through the tough times. Jeanne was a very loving, active and serving member of Wesley United Methodist Church in Vienna, Warrenton United Methodist Church in Warrenton, and Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Warrenton. At Church worship services and other activities, Jeanne took the initiative to be welcoming to all, especially the children, helping them to feel comfortable and safe. She spread the word of what she loved about church to friends and strangers alike. Jeanne was predeceased by her mother Helen Viola Wagner, and her brother, Robert Richard Wagner, Jr. Jeanne leaves to cherish her memory: her father Robert Richard Wagner of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania; her devoted husband George Robert (Bob) Doenges, Jr. of Warrenton, Virginia; her daughters Rachael Elizabeth (and Terry) Walls of Ruckersville, Virginia, Amanda Leah (and Brian Porter) Baker of Amissville, Virginia, and Eliza Blessing (and Bruce) Stocking of Broad Run, Virginia; grandson Max Cameron Baker of Herndon, Virginia, granddaughters Shiloh Brooke Thompson and Sage Scarlet Thompson of Ruckersville, Virginia, and grandson Jacob Allan Stocking of Broad Run, Virginia; her sister Deborah Ann (and David) Wylie of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and nieces Kathryn Rebecca Wylie, Jenny Elizabeth Wylie-Carlin, and Stephanie Erika Gregory; and many loving relatives and friends. Funeral services were held for Jeanne Lavonne Doenges of Warrenton, Virginia on April 7, 2022 at Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Warrenton, Virginia, with interment at Mount Union Cemetery in Mount Union, Pennsylvania on April 9, 2022.

Dorothy Augusta Sinclair Ramey Dorothy Augusta Sinclair Ramey, 84 of Warrenton, Virginia passed away Wednesday, April 6, 2022, at Novant Health Haymarket Medical Center with her devoted family by her side. She was born November 27, 1937, in The Plains, Virginia to the late William Henry Sinclair and Mazie Augusta Hotchkiss Sinclair. She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Thomas A. Ramey Jr of Warrenton; her son, Thomas Ramey of Chester, VA and two daughters, Deborah Ramey of Manassas, VA and Judy Spengler (Shawn) of Centreville, VA along with her four grandsons: William, Thomas, Matthew and Jonathan. Also, her sister Nellie Rutherford of Rixeyville, VA and her brother, William Sinclair (Donna) of Jeffersonton, VA. Along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends. After high school, Dorothy went to work at the Pentagon in Arlington, VA where she worked for several years before leaving to start her life-long career as a homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother. Her joy was cooking for her family and friends. She made the world’s greatest deviled eggs! Along with cooking, her passion was the weather and watching the weather channel. We all called her ”The Weather Lady”. We know that God has her in charge of the weather department in Heaven! Her four grandsons were the joy of her life! William’s fishing and percussion, Thomas’ lacrosse and saxophone, Matthew’s bowling, tennis and tuba, and Jonathan with his lacrosse and trumpet. They kept Grammy very entertained. Per Dorothy’s wishes, a graveside service was conducted Tuesday, April 12, 2022, 2:00pm at Hillcrest Memory Gardens, 4160 Rixeyville Rd, Jeffersonton, VA, 22724. All were welcome to attend and help sing some of Dorothy’s favorite hymns. A reception will follow at the Warrenton Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. We hope that you will join us. In lieu of memorial contributions, Dorothy believed that everyone should save their money and keep a rainy day fund. As you save, please think of Dorothy.
LATE-STAGE CARE Late-stage care occurs in the final stages of a terminal illness. During latestage care, the focus changes to making the patient as comfortable as possible and ensuring they are not suffering. It’s also about respecting the patient’s wishes. Late-stage care can last from weeks to years, depending on the nature of the illness and the patient’s specific situation. During this time, palliative care measures can help control pain and other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea, and constipation, while hospice care can offer emotional and spiritual support to the patient and family members. Latestage care can be very complex and also involves issues such as financial and legal arrangements and practical support for end-of-life care. Families with a loved one in late-stage care understand that the passing of a loved one is close at hand. Given the likelihood of an impending death, families will want to prepare for the funeral ahead of time. Ideally, the family will have ample time to discuss with the loved one his or her endof-life requests. To learn about our funeral services, please call MOSER FUNERAL HOME at (540) 347-3431. We invite you to tour our facility, conveniently located at 233 Broadview Ave., Warrenton. We’ll also tell you about our BRIGHT VIEW CEMETERY, just outside of Warrenton. “The boundaries between life and death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and where the other begins?”

COURTSEY ADVERTISEMENT
TOWN OF WARRENTON NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE Notice is hereby given that the Town Council of the Town of Warrenton will hold a Public Hearing pursuant to Virginia Code § 58.1-3321 because the Town of Warrenton proposes to increase property tax levies due to an increase in property value assessments. 1. Assessment Increase: The total assessed value of real property, as of January 1, 2022, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of real property by 22.05%. 2. Lower Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year (Fiscal Year 2021-22), when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate, with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.04011 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.” 3. Effective Rate Increase: The current tax rate is $0.05 per $100 of assessed value. The Town of Warrenton proposes to retain a tax rate of $0.05 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed tax rate would be $0.00989 per $100, or 24.66%. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase,” even though the tax rate is not increasing. Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater or less than the above percentage. 4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the higher proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total General Fund budget of the Town of Warrenton is proposed to exceed the current year’s budget by 5.68%. People having an interest in the above are invited to attend the hearing and state their opinion regarding the issue. The public may also choose to submit written comments through the Town’s website or by emailing citizencomment@ warrentonva.gov during the public comment period which will end at noon the day of the Public Hearing, May 10, 2022. The public hearing on the effective tax increase will be held on May 10, 2022, at 6:30 PM in the Warrenton Town Hall Council Chambers (First Floor) located at 21 Main Street, Warrenton, Virginia. The Town of Warrenton does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to its programs and activities. Town Hall meeting facilities are fully accessible. Any special accommodations can be made upon request 48 hours prior to the meeting.
